[X] Keep going. Lucas and two Knights of Order are with her. You trust them. She'll be fine... right?

She's just crawling across the chain. She got scared. She's fine. Probably.

This is a bad vote.
Batman wouldn't rescue Batgirl until after she's lost the use of her legs and its been implied shes been raped.
... Yes, this sounds like a good idea...
[q] continue on
-[q] rescue Diana when you come back
Some of the past votes felt really bad as I read them.

The dice will land poorly when we fight the Brotherhood, I just know it.
On top of the 'sneak while banging a pot against the walls to conceal the sound of our footsteps' type funneh vote choice.

The Shaman
Bass, what was that?! You yell mentally at your favourite minion, refusing to slow your stride until you know whether or not Diana needs your help.

Nothing Boss-man. Diana just slipped a little, Lucas caught her, it's all good. Bass reassures you quickly, adding a flash of memory to the end of his communication.

You watch Diana edging close to the end of the makeshift rope bridge when her foot slips off the crystal links of the chain. A replay of the short terrified scream you heard fills your head as Diana loses her balance and starts to fall. Luckily for her she's practically over solid ground and Lucas is right at the end of the chain. He grabs her wrist and pulls her onto solid ground, safe and sound.

You sigh. Thanks Bass, give her a hug from me.

Can do Boss-man!
It's too easy to imagine Bass saluting the air. Relief eases a little tension and worry from where it's settled in your chest. One damsel in distress down one to go.

You emerge from this tunnel into a huge open cave, large as a lord's hall with cracks in the ceiling to let in golden shafts of light. This chamber looks very, very lived in. Several fires flicker and spit around the edges of the cave while a huge central bonfire burns brightly in the centre. Pots, pans, spits, chests and rugs litter the ground, grouped up around fires and small humps of fabric that are probably beds or the like.

A nodule of a shiny rock, most likely a kind of metal ore you think, rises to one side of the bonfire. It reminds you of Pride Rock in how it stands proud and slopes to something of a pinnacle overlooking everything in the cave below it. Standing on the rock is a goblin, red painted markings striping its face, bones clattering from strings hanging off each joint and holding a staff topped by a skull. You have a sneaking suspicion that's the shaman for this tribe of goblins.

Morlia is surrounded by goblins with weapons of all kinds and being urged up the sloping rock on pain of being stabbed. There's a streak of damp red in her blonde hair and down one side of her face.

There are a lot of other goblins here. Too many to count at a glance. You'd estimate about a dozen menacing Morlia and more than forty others watching the shaman and the elf.

[ ] Sneak around and try and get to Morlia before letting all hell loose

[ ] Wait, if they hurt her you can leap into action but backup is coming soon and a proper plan will help

[ ] You took my Morlia, give her back! (CHARGE)

[ ] Do something else

Apologies for lateness, have an update for being patient and sticking around! :)
 
Whatever we do, we need to sing "It's the Ciiircle of Liiiiiiiife! And it moves us alllllllllll!"
 
The first thing to note is that we have a scroll of invisibility, making it much easier to pull off the stealth thing if we use it.
Perhaps we can get through to the goblins with their native dance.

Could you please not actually vote for joke votes in life-threatening situations?

[X] Use the scroll of invisibility, then sneak around to get as close to Morlia as possible before revealing yourself with a sneak attack, and letting all hell break loose.
-[X] Try to neutralise the shaman and retreat up the rock with Morlia, using it to limit how many goblins can attack you at once.
--[X] If she is bound or something, free her as soon as you can safely do so.
---[X] When combat opens, yell out "AAAAAAAAAA KIBENYA! AMADITCHIBABA", and start absolutely butchering the opening song to the Lion king with your half-arsed transliterations.

This is Plan, I like Plan.

Guys does the scroll make us quiet? We are made of crystal we are loud.

Louder than 40-50 excited goblins?
Also , we have an actually quite decent degree of stealth skill, remember.

In any event, they are likely to hear us muh later than they would have spotted us, if at all.

Also, I'm not entirely sure it follows that we are loud just because we are made of made of crystal. We seem to be mostly composed of a solid mass of crystal, which is nowhere near as easy to get a a sound out of as a relatively thin strip is, and means that there is not a lot to hit or rub against other things.

@Kyrina, @Verminlord, what is our noise situation?

No louder than your normal oblivion adventurer in armour and carrying half a dungeon in his pack. The scrolls seem to work fine for them.
