This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Stalks-In-Shadows starts to nock an arrow. But looks to see if there is a way around the beast without being seen.
Perception: 18
"I am fine fighting our way out as long as we do it right. No need to fight when it isn't necessary, we don't want to draw unwanted attention to ourselves."
"I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunity to wet our blades with blood, no need to take additional risks,"opines Alessa. "It won't hurt to practice moving stealthily, and if it sees us, we're no worse off."
Stalks, you can see another way, but it might give away your location. Wading through the shallow lakes of bright blue water may give off ripples. If anyone else wants to, they can make a perception check. If not, get ready for no mercy
Alessa, you can see that the edges are not damp, and lead to a campfire a ways away (about 100 feet.) If you go this way, the Clannfear will most likely not notice you
To Lyris' complete surprise, this works. You successfully sneak past the Clannfear.
On the other side is a campfire, surrounded by Soul Shriven, including a more...alive one. He's singing a song, really off-key.
"Well well, I think we're in luck," Lyris exclaims. "That's Cadwell, the oldest of the Soul Shriven. If anyone knows Coldharbour, it's him. Let's go have a little chat."
Cadwell turns to you and says, "Hello, my good madam! Jolly good of you to come to my humble home, it's really a beautiful place, once you get past the Daedra. A wonderful replica of Tamriel in every way, shape and form!" He turns to Lyris. "Why hello, Lyris, enchanted as always!" Lyris asks Cadwell, "Do you know a way out of here? We're looking for the Prophet's cell." Cadwell turns around and points to a cave behind him. "Why, that passage over there leads right to it! But you're going to want to smash those nasty Sentries, up on the lookouts. They're the eyes and ears of Molag Bal." Lyris smiles. "Thanks, Cadwell!"
Lyris turns to you and says, "The Sentries Cadwell was talking about are up there on that lookout. We have to smash one before moving, unless we want hordes of Daedra on our arse."

Stalk-In-Shadows knows from the swamps that dangers can lurk beneath the water, so he does not recommend that route.
"The water would be our only way around but I would much rather fight an enemy we can see than one we cannot."

For Alessa
Teryn accepts the group's verdict of nonviolence and also tries to see if there's anything lurking below the waters.

Alessa whispers to the others, "I can see a path forward that will keep us hidden from the monster. Follow me."
She then follows the path she noticed earlier.
Stalks-In Shadows will eye the Clannfear and then follow cautiously.
Stealth: 23
Durg attempts to move stealthy: 23
Teryn sneaks past as best they can.
Stealth: 20

Alessa nods, following Lyris' lead. She observes the Soul Shriven, trying to understand them more.
Teryn also follows Lyris, staying some distance from the soul shriven but observing them closely.
Stalks-In-Shadows will wait slightly off from the group, close enough to listen by far enough away to watch their surroundings in case of ambush.

"Greetings, Cadwell," says Alessa, softly. "My companions and I have only just arrived here. What can you tell us about Coldharbour?"
OK sorry for lateness.
Cadwell turns to you and says, "Hello, my good madam! Jolly good of you to come to my humble home, it's really a beautiful place, once you get past the Daedra. A wonderful replica of Tamriel in every way, shape and form!" He turns to Lyris. "Why hello, Lyris, enchanted as always!" Lyris asks Cadwell, "Do you know a way out of here?

What's the plan?
"These sentries... what are they? Humanoids? Monsters? Animated statues?" asks Alessa.
The sentries are animated statues that look like giant eyeballs
"Alright, how do we get up there without being seen?"
