"Most kind of you, Brother Greystone, but the role of leader was just a part I played as Glasstaff. I would be glad of your wise leadership, if you would be so inclined," says Harukai deferentially.

Jackson leads the group to the spot marked on the map by Gundren. After a few minutes of searching, the entrance to the cave is located. The entrance is essentially a tunnel that goes into the side of the mountain at a downward angle. The entrance tunnel leads into a large cavern supported by a natural pillar of rock and containing three stalagmites. In the western part of the cave, behind the column of rock, are three bedrolls and a heap of ordinary supplies — sacks of flour, bags of salt, casks of salted meat, lanterns, flasks of lamp oil, pickaxes, shovels, and other gear. Amid the supplies, you see the body of a dwarf miner, dead for at least a week.
"Let us tread carefully -- it appears the Black Spider and their men are already here."
Jackson goes over to the body of the dead miner and places his hand on his chest, saying a prayer of last rites before taking out his sword and shield.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Assuming his Moonsword is needed for light, Harukai will pull it out and move stealthily along, with the staff in one hand and the sword in the other. Nodding to the others, he searches the cavern for other exits.
While Jackson is removing his hand from the dwarf's chest, his hand brushes the outer shirt, which flips back partially to reveal a piece of yellowed paper stick from a pocket on the inside of the shirt. It is discovered to be a hand-drawn map.
In the northeast part of this cavern, there is a pit, 10 foot wide and 20 foot deep. A rope is tied to a stalagmite and leads into the pit. The light from your sword shows that on the northwest and east side of the pit there are exits with ropes allowing you to climb up and out those directions.
Having found the pit with the tunnels below, Harukai returns to find Jackson looking at the map. Looking over his shoulder, he says, "It looks like we are in the bottom left corner of the map. What way should we proceed?"

Taken aback for a moment, Harukai chuckles ruefully. "I meant, once we get to the bottom of the rope, Oh jovial one," Harukai notes as he 'slow falls' past Jackson, who is climbing down the rope.
Nil carefully goes down the rope as well waiting for the others to get there as well before saying "I think it may be wise for me to go forward a little, since I can see in the dark without making more lite"
Nil shrugs and follows along as well as he can
Seeing his allies practicing, Jackson nudges Sildar over, takes out Talon, and also begins to follow along. "Come Sildar! Let us join in!"
Soon enough, the exercise is over, and Harukai has attuned the new staff!
Smiling at his companions who joined in, he offers, "Well done, all. Let's get on the road and rescue some dwarves!"

"AYE! Lead on, Brother! Let's see this through."
"Most kind of you, Brother Greystone, but the role of leader was just a part I played as Glasstaff. I would be glad of your wise leadership, if you would be so inclined," says Harukai deferentially.

"Sildar will you be accompanying us once more?"
Jackson nods to Harukai, gives a look of acknowledgment to Nil and Sildar, then proceeds forward to the location of the mine.
Sildar nods to Nil and says "yes, I hope to rescue Gundren's brothers and put an end to this spider business once and for all."

(Does the body of the dwarf miner bear any resemblance to Gundren?)
Unfortunately yes.

"Only way to go at this point -- down!"
Jackson grabs one of the ropes and makes his way down into the mine.
Taken aback for a moment, Harukai chuckles ruefully. "I meant, once we get to the bottom of the rope, Oh jovial one," Harukai notes as he 'slow falls' past Jackson, who is climbing down the rope.

"Good thinking, Nilparin. I will wait here with the light until you signal us forward."

Assuming Jackson agrees as well Nil sneaks forward looking around for any sign of trouble
