As Jason continued to experiment with his [b][Telepathy I][/b] skill, he was met with a throbbing pain in his 'head'. Drawing back from Asteria, he began to look around, only to notice that the bonfire's distant glow had all but disappeared. 'Eyes' growing wide with a mixture of shock and excitement, Jason had completely forgotten the pain in his 'head'; this new development was FAR more important than nearly anything else he had done so far. Had something happened to Crispy? Were other (former) humans responsible? If so, that would mean that a fight for control of the cave was about to ensue, and Jason was gonna be there to win it.[color=darkred]"Everyone follow me!"[/color] he hurriedly exclaimed as he turned to the rest of his group, [color=darkred]"No time to explain, we need to get to the bonfire [u][b]NOW[/b][/u]!!!![/color]

Not waiting for any sort of response from his party, Jason quickly curled himself into a ball as best he could and made a hurried beeline for the bonfire, there was no time to waste.

As he drew close to the bonfire, Jason saw a collection of monsters; three of which he recognized. Around them lie evidence of a battle, as well as three dead goblins. However, a frown grew across Jason's face as he realized that Crispy was not among them. Approaching the group, a blue glow from the cinders of the bonfire caught his eye. Turning his attention toward the glow eminating from the ashes, Jason moved past a goblin and wisp that both seemed to be staring at the glow as well only to realize that it was MANA CRYSTALS. SO. MANY. MANA CRYSTALS.

Using [b][Tremor Sense I][/b] to confirm the amount of crystals, Jason turned to the rest of the group. [Color=darkred]"Excellant work securing the cache everyone!!!"[/color] he exclaimed before dropping into a much more serious tone, [color=darkred]"However, now that Crispy knows that we are an imminent threat, It's likely that the goblins are going to try purging the cave... We need to be ready for them. Rain! I need you to be recon, figure out how many goblins we're up against, how well armed they are, and what their intended plan of attack is. Edward and Asteria! The crystal cache is too close to the front of the cave! I need you two and momma rat to dig a spot for us to move the cache to that's a bit further from the entrance! Other lizard! Start digging a trench, wall to wall at that narrow point up ahead! Pixies and wisp! Keep the cache protected until we're ready to move it! Goblin, you're with me! We're going to be digging up to create a palasade up above the entrance of the cave so we can drop rocks on their staging area, and hopefully thin their numbers! Asura! I need you and Momma slime to transport the resulting aggregate to the trench, and begin creating a rock wall behind it!  Let's go people! We don't have much time to make this happen so we've got to hustle if we want to survive the night!"[/color] he barked like the seasoned commander he was.

Snatching up five crystals, and a rock, Jason hustled to a wall dividing two passages and began to tunnel upward at a fifty degree angle as fast as he could.  He would continue this until he was around fifteen feet higher than the cave entrance, and a foot from breaking through to the outside of the cave. Once there, he would begin digging right, parrallel to the wall until he had gone about twenty feet past the cave entire entrance (hopefully with the goblin's help).
