The scree continues to slowly slide down the slope, like a massive river moving glacially slow. With no visual on Valthana, Burfeth or Khilseith, it is impossible to even know where they currently are buried. Eldeth walks over to the tunnel wall and carves a crude dwarven symbol, saying "She be having much honor. Let it be known she put the life of little Stool before her own."
In the meantime, little Stool is unconscious in Narstin's arms and makes its first death saving throw: 11 (1 success)

"What's the deal with the little fella?" He'll indicate towards Stool
Beegred: "No eating the walking mushroom, new guy! We have enough food.
"The child got separated from its people, so we are returning it. Sarith wants to go there too. That's why our first destination is the... umm... Neverland Garden."

As you all stand on solid rock and watch the flowing scree slowly bury your deceased party members, or watch Eldeth carve a dwarven symbol into the wall of the cave, Sarith stands apart and looks ahead at a large stalactite in the near distance. Beegred is the first to notice Sarith staring and looking in the same direction, notices a hulking humanoid creature casually leaning against the stalactite, observing.

Loud enough for the other party members, but trying to not attract attention. "Everyone, there is a big bastard, by that phallic shaped stalactite over there. It better be just a bystander. If it had anything to do with this rockslide, it is going to take a fierce beating."

Roll Stealth if you want to prevent the creature from hearing you speak. If you just don't want it to understand what you said, no need to roll. Just let me know.
(Beegred was speaking louder so his party could hear it, but not shouting for everyone in cavern to listen in. If the figure hears it, so be it. No roll.)

The creature, now aware it has been noticed, pushes off from the stalactite, shoulders a heavy pack and slowly approaches, empty hands held out. It speaks in undercommon as it moves forward, "I have been pondering how to cross that hazard for many hours, or if I should even try. Your foolishness has been educational, I will learn from your mistake."
The creature enters the radius of magical light magically produced by your party and you see an orcish figure, but even larger. Tozer instinctively hefts his maul, hands clenched tightly and begins to take fast shallow breaths as his rage builds, saying "An Orog. Stronger and more cunning than an Orc. Bad news."
This orog does not fit any orc stereotype. Its clothes are fine, clean and well made. Its speech is erudite. It seems to be approaching non-aggressively. The orog acknowledges Tozer and replies, still in undercommon, "Peace. I am a member of the Society of Brilliance. You may call me Blurg. I am searching for Grazilaxx, another member of the Society. Teleportation has not been reliable lately and I am forced to travel by foot. But that obstacle may force me to resort to teleportation again. I digress... As I said, I am Blurg. May I be of assistance? Have any news worthy of telling theSociety?"
"Yeah....be careful trying to cross that way...." and he'll gesture back towards the rockslide but maintain his grip on his maul "and what is a Society of Brillance?"
Beegred pipes up. "This guy said Grass-exlax. Has he met that creepy calamari?"
To Krizz: "We ran into humanoid. Squid face. Had this presence of power about him, and talked inside your skull. He said he didn't come to fight, but to check out demons in the Underdark, or something like that."

Blurg lights up when Beegred butchers 'Grazilaxx', but quickly grows frustrated at what he hopes is just a language barrier. He looks at Tozer, Narstin and Eldeth asking in dwarvish, "Your myconid sprout have any rapport spores left? It would make conversing much simpler."
Rodolfo understands the last part in dwarvish. After a while he closes his jaw with a snap and mutters to himself, "What have I gotten myself into now..."
Along with Tozer, Eldeth is immediately wary of Blurg and doesn't offer any assistance. She pulls out an arrow and begins to inspect it, bow ready in the other hand.
Jimjar steps forward to naively face the Orog and not having understood the part in dwarvish, says in undercommon, "I wager you're looking for Grazilaxx because you have news of demons in the underdark?"
