I don't know, is this a hint to head back?

No. You're hitting empty rooms because the enemies are in other areas of the dungeon.

Also, there are different ways to go in the dungeon, not to mention a way forward from where you are now.

I think we must fight.

I am curious about Bain's results, if he succeeded, was there a problem with listening to the creatures on the other side?

[ajardoor]

The door muffled the sound.

So are we going in with the sacrificial scout elemental or with the full battle line?

[vicious Violence]

I vote full battle line

I think we should force our way trough the room sending an elemental, with the elemental dashing to the next door (the exit or whatever grants the enemies an escape), using the element of surprise, to prevent the alleged enemy creatures from running away.

We could have the other elemental stand ahead of us to work as a living shield with Telrith by its side (at the safer position), building a shield-wall. Right behind them Mihrimah and Vicious stand as the attackers with their long weapons. Bain attacks from cover/shadows/stealth and Gathika while keeping her distance stands at the rear to heal everybody.

We start at the door’s threshold, if things look alright, we keep pushing. Otherwise, we take a defensive approach.

We could have the other elemental ...

Telrith has four elementals today. Ruby (down 3 HP), Jade (down 6 HP), Sullyfur, and Mudlin (not as useful for combat). This note is here for my memory as well as the party's.

Gathika, please confirm what you'll be doing.

Just a heads up I will be posting later in the day.

Our plan is to build a wall at the door's threshold. This way they will not be able to easily gang up on us.

Telrith and/or his elementals stand at the front, as shields.

Vicious, Mihrimah and Bain will use their range advantage to attack the enemies as they charge.

Bain recommends Mihrimah to wait for the Hobgoblins to run into her spear; I guess Vicious should do the same.

Gathika will be healing the party from a safe distance behind the wall (by the treshold).

Our positions should look like this:

.......T E
|TRESHOLD| WALL
.......V M....GATHIKA
.........B

T. Telrith
E. Elemental
V. Vicious
M. Mihrimah
B. Bain

Roger that. Looks good.
