You resolve to find the source of the smoke, but first you want to spend a bit more time getting to know Alca.

The drummers are still playing your native folk music. To humans it would be a uproar of disseparate beats and slow gonging, but to your goblin ears it's a happy, upbeat song. It's lyricless, but some of the more inebriated goblins have their own songs to sing, usually badly.

You find Alca sitting on the ground behind a tent, a waterskin of mushroom wine in one hand and several bluefruit cores spilling from the other. She appears to be asleep, judging from the loud snores. You marvel slightly at how quick she must have gotten "drunk*" to have reached this point already.

She had a blanket, but it's slipped down.

*Mushroom wine's effect is less like alchohol and actually far closer to marijuana, at least on goblins. It contains a chemical that effects the goblin biochemistry and causes a rush of dopamine in the head-based thought center, leaving the smaller ones relatively unchanged, however, in humans it is quite toxic, the effects of a non-lethal dose a unpleasant nausea and inability to focus the eyes, as well as loss of muscular control and (in severe cases) seizures.

Actual alchoholic drinks present humans and goblins with similar effects, having a slightly muted effect on goblins.

...Try to wake her up to talk with her, leave without otherwise touching her if that fails.

Ask her how she is doing. 
But if she doesn't wake up, pull the blanket over her.  For the love of God, man!  Have you never seen a romantic comedy?

Not really sure if she'll care.  She's kinda high off her ass right now.

I dunno. I'm more in favour of pulling the blanket up, tidying up the area a little bit and leaving her be. Plenty of things to do (presumably), and plenty of time to discuss later.

Yeah, make her more comfortable.  We want to show we aren't just trying to use her for information.

This. If she wakes up, act courteously and all; we don't need our asses kicked.

Pull the blanket over here, and borrow that wineskin.  I'd like to see Karne write us being utterly shitfaced.

After a few seconds of thought, you finally decide to try to wake her up cautiously.

Shaking her doesn't to the trick. Neither does softly saying her name. Poking her with a stick doesn't work.

Fine, then she should at least be comfortable. You move to pull up the blanket. You successfully hook it over both her shoulders, then stretch up tall, proud to have not slipped and fell into a compromising position that would get you beaten up and land you again in the Medhut, and/or lose you a companio

Oh shit mud.

You land in the most compromising position possible and NOW Alca decides to open her first set of eyelids. There's a brief moment where Alca's processing the situation which you take to evaluate your routes of escape.

Get into a less embarrasing position and explain the situation. No need to let grudges grow.
