oof now what? gong in there feels like walking straight into the lions den. should we go back  and into the double-track main tunnel?

[Joy]

"'Clear the mine' they said..."

[Τamamo]

Haha, they also said 'probably just a few squatters'!
The place is labeled W4. It wouldn't be labeled it nothing were to happen there.

[Joy]

Not always, there were lables on areas that just have descriptions like the elevator shaft, the dwarvish sign, and the area outside the rooms where the bugbears were squatting

It could be a hoard of vast treasure left by gophers who are long dead.

Don't underestimate mud. If that hardens it can get as tough as rock. I doubt that thing dug the tunnel in real time. It must have scratched through the rock like a burrowing animal. The mud constricting the entrance should at least slow it down. But what do I know, Alice is an alien not a gopherologist.

[Kashtan]

i guess anything is possible in this place

Oops looks like we forgot the summons are steam powered. Cat doesn't wanna get surprised this time.
I just discovered something. The rulebook says:

Duration. The Rage lasts until the end of your next turn, and it ends early if you don Heavy armor or have the Incapacitated condition. If your Rage is still active on your next turn, you can extend the Rage for another round by doing one of the following:
. Make an attack roll against an enemy.
. Force an enemy to make a saving throw.
. Take a Bonus Action to extend your Rage.

Does that mean you can always extend rage to 10min with a bonus action? I somehow never noticed that.

Good thing Ashley got rid of my explosives. Can I at least set everything on fire now, please? There's no wood here that could spread the burn. Also I should probably get rid of the ogre skeletons before they become undead. Do I have to crush them or is throwing the skulls into the hole enough?

[Joy]

Cat, no, it only applies during an encounter, but I allow your rage to extend within minutes of any encounter, I don't worry about those conditions.

Alice, you may do whatever you want. Just review this video for a simple reminder.

Yes, removing the head of any skeleton is enough as long as the head can't conveniently be levitated back into place.

[Kashtan]

collect the skulls and get back here. no setting anything on fire. we dont even know what this thing is. you can still do that when it attacks.

[Τamamo]

Hm, looks like there is nothing usable here to build a trap or barricade. Bring the skulls, Cat will crush them.

[Alice]

>consequences will never be the same
I do hope my actions have consequences! If not, they would be pointless.

no setting anything on fire

Muu I can't have any fun...
At least let me pet Mrs. Bigglesworth afterwards!

[Τamamo]

Do you want Cat to destroy the skulls or attack the monster? I feel we should get rid of the skulls or we're in big trouble. But Cat is desperately needed here! Can Ashley hold into them? All she has to do is sit on them or whatever so they don't go back to the bodies.

[Joy]

I just want to know, how would troll skulls return to troll skeletons on their own? 

[Alice]

You forgot there are at least 3 ridiculously op sorcerers in this mine? I wouldn't even rule out they grow legs and scuttle back to their bodies. But yeah, Cat should attack with me. We need an Emboldening Bond, Yulya!

You do whatever with the skulls, just make sure they behave.
