I whisper back in response to the question about canceling potions, "Not really Jonathan, but there isn't supposed to be a disadvantage. If we need color, just bring in more light."
Noting Ghost's reaction, I'll mouth for Rachel's benefit "Which Way?"
If we cannot figure out the direction Ghost smells a problem in, or if the danger is in multiple directions, I'll ask the vanguard to stand watch at the intersection while we proceed down the right hand path.

Drinking the Darkvision potion slowly, I analyze the effect as my vision changes, adding multiple spectrum and deeper depth to my night vision. "Amazing effect. It takes a bit of doing, but you can still switch between normal, full colour vision and the deeper night vision. This effect lasts for hours, right?"
Ready as we proceed through the tunnels, I watch warily for ambushes, traps or unusual features.
Specific Action: Fighting Defensively to gain +2 AC until we know what we face.
Out of Character: : Jason, I'd like one of the meal-less Ioun stones, mostly for downtime use to extend my time studying, as a character trait. Also, do I get to replace the CLW pots I used from the found stock? What's the distribution for the potions offered by Lord Douglas? KN, I guess I can assume that all the scrolls are level 3 for casting?

"Yes, it last for several hours, we might be back to using torches on the way out, but we'll make the most of it."
With no input forthcoming from Rachel and Ghost, we'll look around the intersection carefully, leave the vanguard watching it, and proceed to the right.
Out of Character: The scrolls, unless stated otherwise, will be at the minimum caster level needed to cast the spell. So CL 1 for CLW or MM, CL 5 for fireball, etc. It is possible to make scrolls with higher than the minimum CL, but that adds to the cost significantly. Go ahead an take the Ioun stone, and restock from the CLW pots. Kn, did we get the promised healing potions from Douglas?
Out of Character: Yes you did. Plus Rachel can tell you this is the place that she made it to before running into hobgoblins. They knocked her out so she was not able to tell you exactly with way the main chamber is at.
In Game: as you go to the right do you leave the six guard the intersection?
I shrug as Jason asks. My eyes are wide at this point recognizing this intersection." Be careful now. We are close." I stay in my usual place by Ghost. His bulk gives me comfort here.
Out of Character: : I'm so sorry. I missed that earlier. .
Out of Character: Okay, apparently I misunderstood. Currently we're at the center of the three known four way intersections yes? I had intended to sweep through the already explored section on the right hand side first, make sure they hadn't repopulated those areas in the week or so since our first push. Can we assume we found nothing and are moving on?
If that is the case, I believe we'd leave the vanguard guarding the center intersection, and go left (South) instead of right. Based on the map, that direction is likely to be less extensive, less space for it to spread out. Once cleared, then we'd return, collect the vanguard, and everyone goes north.

Yes that is what happened. You did not find anything in the other rooms to the right side of the North cave system and you head south or Left at the four way. You head south about forty feet where it comes to another four way intersection. I will need initiative rolls as you see Hobgoblins coming from three sides. I will get a map up so you can tell me where you wish to be.
