Kurik says, "Well, I'm grabbing the coins before we go." As he does so, Wilhelm casts his Cure Light Wounds on him, which looks like it totally heals him. "My thanks," Kurik says.
Looking at the maps of the area, Kurik says, "t doesn't look like there's too many out of the way places - most of what w've found so far seem to be in high-traffic areas, like the way to the stairs for instance. The best defensible position seems to be this room here (he points to the small room up north on this level). It's small, no one was there, it seemed unused, and there's that secret passage from the room to this corridor that presumably they don't know about. So some of us, like the fighters, could hole up in the room and the weaker guys could hole up in the tunnel so in case we're surprised, they're out of the way and can come support if necessary."
