"I see... something over there..." he informs to the rest of the party " some kind of illusion magic is at work in that area of the cliff face. Let's investigate but let's be cautious and silent... "
Dar'Quilyn, now seeing the illusion for what it is, looks beyond to what is truly there. The overlay is hiding two things. The rocky outcrop has a lever hidden beneath it, and the clifface appears to have a large wooden panel over part of it, the part that Johann thought felt different.
The elf leave the lever to a more build up companion with a wink and drawing his sowrd in a flourish movement, getting ready for whatever they could find.
"I am thinking about the weird footprints, and marks that we've found on the wolves. They could be part of magic illusion too... "
The facade of the illusion disappears as the lever is pulled, revealing the wooden panel which appears to drop forward, like a drawbridge. Beyond appears to be a tunnel that descends into the ground.
Delvar, looking surprised at the work, takes out his lantern. "Illusions? That can't be good." He says.
The group begins to head into the open dark cavern (for those without darkvision, they are relying on Delvar's lantern) which appears to be a somewhat natural tunnel heading shallowly below the earth. Heading along the twisting path, there appears to be a couple of turnings ahead.
(Basically a straight on path, one left turn, and one right. If you are attempting to "scout" ahead, an Investigation check and probably Stealth check.)
Kithre keeps to the middle of the group, wary of being out alone after the encounter with the wolves. She keeps her hand on her rapier hilt, nervously licking her lips as they move through the darkness.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With the magic of his ritual still active, and his sword on his hand, he steps into the corridor trying not to alert anyone and not to step into any trap.
Dar'Quilyn takes the lead into the passageway. With his innate darkvision, he fortunately won't be face-planting into a wall anytime soon. Getting to the first intersection (the left turn), he sees that the turn leads to what appears to be a steep slope that leads into somewhere that is beyond what his darkvision can see. Checking the next intersection (the right turn), he sees that the turning seems to twist and head in a gentle decline deeper into the ground. The path ahead seems to continue on a fairly even floor and widens after a further thirty feet ahead.

The wizard will show that things to his friends.

Everyone follows I’d assume. Johann will be in the back with his jackal making sure nothing follows them.

Jaylin would probably volunteer to scout but, he wasn’t the stealth type

The elf continues in the path ahead, trying to listen something and moving as silence as possible.
