So, the goblisn have our employer/friend, and we don't know if he's dead or alive.  They also have his map to the lost mines.<br/><br/>On the other hand, we're pretty beat up.<br/><br/>Do we take a short rest and go find him, retconing in the new characters?  Or do we continue to our destination, take a long rest, then come bakc and go lookign for him?<br/><br/>Also, the module assumes we track fleeing goblins.  In thsi case we have some sleeping goblins we could get to lead us back.
