Kal heads towards the raft to see if he can tell anything from any tracks that might be there. Question for Sorvas: Underdark is favored terrain for the Natural Explorer feature. You will have to rule whether a cave system is close enough to the Underdark to allow the bonuses for Natural explorer to kick in.
Marching order? Kal should be front or back. And we're all human or halfling, correct? That means we all need light. I've got a lantern. Does Bran have light spell?

(DM Ruling for "Underdark" will be any naturally formed terrain that is underground and without any form of sunlight naturally. Any (for a lack of better term) Man-made or magical locations (EX. Magical Maze) will only count to this bonus if it is at least 1/2 a mile underground.)
Any questions I am all ears :)
Bran, Niche, and Zandrich where are your preferred locations?
Kal, you can see a well worn path that forks in the road ahead, one off to the right (the water is on the left of both paths) and the other path swings slightly right and follows the water from the creek. You also notice that there is some extra rope on the raft to tie things down with as well as the raft has a pulley system and is currently tied to it. You can hear two goblins saying something ahead to each other faintly but it is just on the wind so to speak.
Note: It is dim light where you are standing if you did not have light from the outdoors
I assume that the rope in the pulley system leads into the cave, up the stream. Is that where it sounds like the goblin voices are coming from, upstream?

The voices are far off, you cant really tell the location they are coming from at the moment, possible upstream or from the fork to the right.
Make a perception check (for the group) if you are listening from here, and if the group moves up make a perception check with advantage if everyone is listening for the noise/voices)
Kal, you hear the voices emanating from the fork that leads away from the creek. (To the right) It seems that they are arguing amongst themselves about something.
Through the bars you see the two goblin guards arguing about food. Over the past few days you have started to notice that the shorter one called Zim wants to eat one of you, but Tarn who is bigger and has some mangled leather armor will not let him due to fear of Klarg (you assume). It appears they are having the same argument now, and Zim just pulled out a dagger and points it in your direction. Tarn has a scimitar at his right side and a dagger on his left but does not draw them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Let’s take out a few more before they notice our presence.” Niche whispered when Kal indicated that there are more goblins up ahead. She will try to sneak a little more ahead to see if she can get a view of the goblins.
Did Kal hear things clearly enough to get names? Instead of us sneaking to them and failing stealth, I could call out to them in goblin. We could try to use their names (if he heard them) to get them to come out and we can surprise ambush them

Kal, due to the distance you did not hear any of the information discussed or catch any names, only the mutterings of Goblin passes your ears but it is not comprehensible due to the distance and the sound of the water lightly passing next to you from the creek.
For the characters inside the cave with the goblins.
You both notice a very dim light come to the entrance of to the cave. You whisper to each other so that the arguing goblins cant here and discuss this briefly. Any of the other goblins that have entered into here before have not had a light source. John, what do you do? (Shadrac is currently out of town until Sunday so I will leave any decisions up to you for now)
(at this point I am going to say that the group (that came from outside) moved up to be about 15 feet away from the fork, with Niche moving to the entrance of the fork and taking a peek, unless you say otherwise) (Don't want to assume that you are walking all the way in if that is not what is happening)

Bran will take second slot and will cast light on his shield. It’s a pale blue light like the sparks on a van de graff generator.
Aye you’re right Kal thanks.

Kal is looking to see if there are any tracks around the raft that tell us anything

Kal motions the group up and cups his hand to his ear. Perception 22
After they try to figure out where the goblin voices are coming from, Kal will quietly ask
Which way we wanna' go firs'?

From the "new characters" POV.

Kal speaks Goblin. Can he hear the specifics or just make out tones that sounds like arguing?
Kal will signal the rest of the group - holding up 2 fingers, mouthing the word "Goblins" and pointing in the direction of the voices.

Stealth? 23
Niche, up ahead it becomes dark, are you taking a light with you? Are you going alone? (Need to know for the possible reactions of the room)

Zandrich agreed lets get them before they get us quietly said to niche having bow readied

Kal will let Niche sneak up, peak, and come back to report.

Niche, roll a perception check for the sneak up please.

Branagh will hold back and use his cloak to dim the light off of his shield
