Perhaps enraged by the failure of his purportedly magic lantern to produce a spectacular and convincing sorcerous effect earlier, Yazdegerd the Wizard seizes the helpless Goblin Lench, and with the assistance of Skallagrim begins to dunk the helpless goblin repeatedly in and out of the water.
Lench the Goblin struggles vigorously at this treatment, and amidst the loud yelps and submerged burbles he is suddenly swept away by the treacherous currents! You hope the unlucky goblin has been swallowed into a watery grave, and not carried violently elsewhere along the watercourse to plot his revenge... (QM: he is plotting his revenge)
A hail of goblin arrows from across the bridge kills the entire adventuring party. Fortunately, however, it appears that the swarm of bats (either summoned through Yazdegerd's "wizard magic" or just natural denizens of the cave) must have driven away the other spear guard as well as the archer goblin on the far side.
The rope bridge now appears eerily unguarded across the downpouring rush of water.
From the upper cliff ledge, by the dropped sack, Tharfish the Dwarf can see a skeleton dangling from an iron cage - a half-hidden gibbet, nearly recessed behind the waterfall.
The limbs of this skeleton appear contorted in a strange agonised posture, and one arm seems raised at a peculiar angle, as if scrabbling or gesturing for something behind the plummeting deluge of water. Could there be... a secret passage there?
