From the sound of it, you're safe for now... and Jack o' the Lanterns doesn't seem like he'll be rising any time soon. And if you follow the underground hallways back to the "meeting room," you find yourself faced with two options.<br/><br/>On the one hand, you could take the bones and the information you've gathered, and go back to the naiad's pond to see if she will transport you back out of the cave, which would certainly make things easier for you when it comes to getting back home again.<br/><br/>On the other hand, you could go the direction you saw the noble and his guardsmen go, which most likely will lead you deeper into goblin territory. So far, your spells have held out... but you're still not sure just how many goblins there are in this tribe.<br/><br/>It's not exactly a rock and a hard place, per se... but it is certainly a tough choice. To move in deeper could get you extra evidence of the noble's betrayal, and perhaps allow you to continue slowing the Goblins' plans... but to leave will give you extra time to confer with Sharille, and tell her what you've learned.
