Lena nods appreciation at Matheris's welcome. "Aye, worked with Gundren before. Late to Neverwinter though. Playin catch up on the old dwarf, saw the ambush and been watchin the cave until yous shown up. Best get crackin. Name's Lena, what'll I be callin yous all?"
"As fer what I do... yous all didn't see me and and neither did they."She gestures to the dead goblin sentries. "I bring revelation from the shadows. Anyhoo, let's leave chit chat for a campfire, dead bodies raise questions and we better be movin before they're seen." She takes a moment to mask the dead figures as best she can in the nearby foliage before they all approach the cave.
As the group prepare to enter, Lena kneels low, pulling some ash out of a pouch, sifting a pinch through her fingers and driving them into the ground. "Nix Indico" A gentle breeze carries the ash and dirt in a swirl around the feet of each party member as Lena releases [Tooltip Not Found] on them all.
She pauses at the first junction, in a hushed tone she whispers to Faith, "You check the hounds, they might eat fresh goblin meat... I'll spy out up here." She moves to the main passage, investigating any route beyond the 'kennels'.
Faith says a prayer to the celestial above for Guidance and moves towards the wolves to feed them further and introduce his scent, and see if they are trained and will let him pass, towards the back of the cave.
Animal Handling: 8
Guidance: 2
Faith is successful after feeding the scraps and with a bit of guidance just barely..The wolves seem tentative and make several sniffs and come close and back off several times but finally accept Faith and allow the group to mingle in the area.

Lena moves up quietly with Karea while Faith meets the wolves with Matheris...
Matheris animal handling feeding the wolves as well..."Good wolf...Good wolf...Easy 20
Lena and Karea go invisible as there is no light on the interior of the cavern.....As you move a bit further in... See the map.. on this page. https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/3965027
Lena and Karea move along the eastern side of the stream further in and on the left a bit further in see the main passage from the cave mouth climbs steeply upward, the stream plunging and splashing down its west side. In the shadows, a side passage leads west across the other side of the stream.
In the shadows of the ceiling to the north, you can just make out the dim shape of a rickety bridge of wood and rope crossing over the passage ahead of you. Another passage intersects this one, twenty feet above the floor. With your umbral sight you both make out a goblin guard by the western side of the bridge..
Goblins stealth roll was a 1 vs players perception - no contest.
You are straight across from the steep pathway going west. Looking straight ahead you see the bridge and curving east more of the hideout. You can tell from the steep pathway to the west it won't hold much weight before it gives most likely. If you're not heavy, you might make it.
Faith and Matheris find a chimney of sorts the goes up a ways. Since the wolves are behaving for Faith and maybe Matheris. Matheris give a wide path if needed.

Faith gently takes the chains of the wolves and leads them to the goblins outside, where they can hide the evidence and have revenge on their former masters.
Karea will whisper "Left" to Lena, She then steps back, and leaps the river, landing on the steep western passage. (Her strength isn't that good, but with a running start, she can jump 9 ft.)
Once Lena follows, she continues up the passage.

Lena's finger rests on the trigger, her breath held as she waits, tracking the goblin. As Lena hears he noise of the rocks give way she almost expects to hear a cry from her new companion and her focus on the goblin intensifies. As its eyes peer into the darkness, Lena slowly lets her breath out, long and slow, relaxing her body and preparing to release her bolt.
@DM - Lena will fire if she believes that their presence is compromised for any reason. She will stay her hand should she believe they have remained completely undetected. Attack in spoiler.
Lena will attack unseen providing advantage, which enables dread ambusher rolled without advantage in case the goblin is now aware of me, followed by crossbow expert attack again a flat roll. I'll let you pick what would be permissible/viable in the situation.
Faith pets the wolves, each in turn, feeding them sections of a ration when he needs them to move onward. Perhaps his Aasimar heritage is proving encouraging to the wolves, as they lead ahead of him back into the cave.
Faith heads beyond the dead end where he found them, up the easterly path of the river quietly, trusting in his darkvision or the wolves’ noses to find his companions and show them their new and slightly anxiety-inspiring four legged friends.
Part way up the steep escarpment it all gives way to the weight of Karea.
Roll Dex Save please.. 9 Bludgeoning damage
Save DC 10 for 1/2 damage.
The goblin is now looking at the area of the landslide/rubble for signs of intruders.
Karea is still invisible with no light in the area and Lena is in a different area, so she is still in stealth mode.

OOC -
The ledge between the two escarpments is fragile. Any weight in excess of 100 pounds loosens the whole mass and sends it tumbling down to the east. Any creature on the ledge when it falls must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failure, or half as much damage on a success. The creature also falls prone on a failed save

Karea can hear the wolves from the bottom of the slide just before going back up....You signal Lena that the goblin will possibly hear them too unless you act soon. You are both 30 ft from the goblin on the bridge with advantage since you are unseen. As you got closer to the top of escarpment you heard noises from the cave off to the west opposite the bridge. You do not see anything near the cave entrance though.
Actions: Karea and Lena
Faith and Matheris...Matheris whispers, "Goblin on the bridge looking towards the escarpment. Something happened there. I don't see the others but the wolves may spook the goblin. We should tie them off in their pen agian.. before heading further in... We better hope the others can take that goblin out."

Faith hesitates. With the wolves back in the pen he will be condemning them to a life of cruelty and incarceration.
“I will tie them outside the cave, to the east, in the forest. When we leave we can set them free.”
He heads back outside the cave with the wolves to do that. Tying them in a way that it wouldn’t take more than a day of pulling for the chains to come free, in case Faith and the adventurers never exit the cave again.
OOC - Based on the descriptions of activity with Kasea falling down, and no description of the goblin's activities I'm assuming it hasn't noticed anything at all and is oblivious, or has rationalised the noises to natural occurence. I'm posting on that premise... If otherwise, then I have already attacked as described.
Lena relaxes her finger, the sound of the dogs and rockfall mixing together such that the goblin appears not to notice them, his ignorance extending his life... for now. She moves forwards, the ground she walks over being left undisturbed, as she moves under the bridge and out to the other side. She is conscious that the wolves would still pick up on her scent and though fed, they still present a risk of giving up her presence. Once on the other side of the bridge, she checks the goblin once more and moves cautiously forwards.
Lena nods appreciation at Matheris's welcome. "Aye, worked with Gundren before. Late to Neverwinter though. Playin catch up on the old dwarf, saw the ambush and been watchin the cave until yous shown up. Best get crackin. Name's Lena, what'll I be callin yous all?"

As the group prepare to enter, Lena kneels low, pulling some ash out of a pouch, sifting a pinch through her fingers and driving them into the ground. "Nix Indico" A gentle breeze carries the ash and dirt in a swirl around the feet of each party member as Lena releases [Tooltip Not Found] on them all.
She pauses at the first junction, in a hushed tone she whispers to Faith, "You check the hounds, they might eat fresh goblin meat... I'll spy out up here." She moves to the main passage, investigating any route beyond the 'kennels'.
