The party heads northwest, and finds things exactly as they were last time they were down here. Eventually, they make their way to the misty room with the teleport circle.

"Looks like we don't have to fight anyone after all," Eliana says as she approaches the teleportation circle.

"We don't have. But I want to, Eliana. The Jarak-sinn let us pass because we promised we would kill this Pharblex." Henry scratches the back of his head and awkwarldy grimaces at the suggestion they could just flee "I understand if you - or anyone else - don't feel such obligation. But Snapjaw trusted us and he died for it. These Jarak-sinn trusted us. We break their trust, next time we might not find anyone willing to help because they might've heard we do not keep our word." the squire shrugs uncomfortably "So I still believe we should do what we said we would. If not for honour, in the hope that in the future this might turn to our advantage."

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 08/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No Chantilly raises her closed fists, cheering for Henry: " That's how a knight talks! Hoooray!" - she says. - " I know it's dangerous but we have to! For Snappy! And the others that let us in!" - she pauses for a few seconds, gathering her thoughts to make a more convincing argument. - " And..and..Huh, this shaman guy seems a powerful fellow, if we take him out now he won't turn out to be a problem later.. I think."

"Seems to me," says Jamna's disembodied voice, "that we barely survived that last fight and are in no condition for another. Never mind against the leader of the bullywugs in the heart of his lair, during a full blown security lockdown. Whatever the Children are up to, I suspect it's way bigger than bullying a few jarak-sinn. If you throw your lives away on this, who is going to stop them? Who is going to report what we have learned so far? It makes far better sense to push onward through the portal. The jarak-sinn can fight their own battles, if they have the will to. And if they don't, fighting for them won't do them any good. They'll just fall to the next bully they run into."

"Normally, I would agree with you Henry," Eliana says with a sigh. "But the chances of running into the bullying shaman, and only the shaman, is very unlikely. We will most likely run into not only a lot of bullywugs, but a lot of cultists too. We won't survive that."

"We don't know what the tactical situation would be. He might be alone, he might have just a couple of guards with him, he might have half his tribe guarding his back." the squire again pleads his case "I understand that war requires a certain level of deception; I also understand that you are not under any obligation of acting with honour. But before asking me to run away and break the trust of someone who helped us, could we at least see if the fight is as hopeless as you picture it to be?"
That said, he nods to Chantilly "I mean, we do have a scout. If Chantilly is willing, can't we let her see where this shaman is and how many people are with him before making this decision?"

"Fine," Eliana says with a sigh. "Chantilly, go scout out whether he is alone or not. If he is alone, we have to finish it quickly because I'm sure the rest of the cultists have found the bodies of their fellow cultists by now."

"Yes!! Absolutely, I'll go!" - she looks around, frantically. - "But, huh, which direction should I go scout?" - she asks the group.
OOC Actions
Sorry, had a busy weekend!
Also, before going scouting, could I ask a bit of healing on Chantilly? She's only at 8 hp, so in case she runs into enemies I'm afraid she'd be easily oneshotted (even counting Uncanny Dodge) with no way of alerting the others. ;_;

Henry - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: Aid--------------- Before letting Chantilly go on her scouting mission, Henry lays a hand on her head and a soothing glow heals some of her wounds; he then nods to the half-kender, trying to encourage her "Just see and come back, all right? Don't want anything to happen to you."{Spoiler}Henry uses LoH and heals 5 HPs. Also Matt4 remember that Chan has Aid.

"I am afraid I have no strength to heal any further," Zakkoth admits.

And she was at 3 hp before that  thanks <3 Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 15/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Of course!" - she says with Henry. - " It'll be easy peasy lemon squeezy." Having said that, she goes finding a route they haven't explored yet, nibbling on a couple of the berries she got from Zakkoth.

Chantilly eats two of the berries. Although this makes her feel marginally better, it also makes her feel rather logy and ovestuffed, as each berry is the equivalent of a full day of nourishment. Consequently, she feels like that time she had way too much food at that one harvest festival.
She backtracks quietly to the mist room and looks around. There are four paths to go; the western way, which she just came from. The eastern way, which leads back toward the entrance to this level. There's also a tunnel heading southeast and a set of stairs descending in the southwest.

Chantilly looks around to make sure nobody's here, before letting out a little burb. - "Damn, these berries are heavier than my auntie Citronella's 'Lemon Buttery Bars'.
She looks at the two routes left to explore and then decide to take the closest one, the stairs descending toward southwest.
OOC Action
Not sure if I have to reroll Stealth each time or the first one was enough, also not sure if I had to use the Whispers but did it anyway. Remove if you prefer otherwise!

Eliana had a bad feeling about this. She honestly didn't think they had the strength to take on even one person right now.
