Following the Fool's advice, the party follows the road to the former spider nest where the forest, road and river meet, a journey of one hour. There they rest a few minutes before striking out North into the forest.  From there it's another three hours to the clearing, arriving some 300 yards SSW of the small cave in the hill.

Pause here if anyone wants to do or say anything.

Falco readies up, gripping his shield and spear. "So, my friends, shall we seek out the Goblin cave next?" he asks.

Their journey was undisturbed by giant spiders or any other threat which Gyp took as a good omen. When they reached the small cave Gyp was keen to carry on “there was much more to the kobold caves that we did not see. I say we continue there rather than upset the goblins” he reasoned with Falco.

The fool pointed to the small cave “we can rest here a moment before we continued to the caves of chaos” he suggested.

Faldal does not see any obvious flaw to Gyp's proposal.
