Kal starts moving towards the portal but no closer than 10 or 15 feet. Is it shrinking or does it appear stable for the moment? Can we see anything through it or can we see what's on the other side?
It is still open for the moment, It looks like a pool of vertical molten metal shimmering and wavy with no reflection or any clue as to what is on the other side.
The moment seems to stretch out. for a few seconds, the wind stops, no sounds can be heard all around you.
”Snap out of it Varax!” Niche yelled in frustration as she watches the two stsp into the portal, shooting a crossbow at Varax hoping that the pain will bring him to his senses. (If it’s not too late yet, attack: 12) She will also attempt to cross back to where the portal is while keeping an eye out for any other goblins around.
Niche's bolt goes into the portal and the bolt disappears, as Natalia and Varax disappear into the portal a skeletal hand appears through the portal with blackened bones and green putrid and rotting flesh attached to it. Before anyone else can do anything the portal closes and the hand is severed. falling onto the green grass. Sound returns and the wind blows again, toward you and you can faintly smell the rot.
Bran, charging through to enter the portal yells 'Get off her creep!' he is just a second too late as the portal closes and the hand falls on the ground. He swings straight through the spot that would have had Varax's arm.
Kal, you look around and try to piece together the portal and search the bodies. All you can seem to think about is your distaste for magic as you search.
You find 9 silver and 4 copper and a deck of cards covered in food, grease and blood.
Zandrich magic just isn't my thing i have no way to track them as i am moving towards the rotting hand bow nocked and preparred for more goblins to appear
You all seem to notice that there are 2 short bows. 14 arrows are piled near the bows. There is also a rusted shortsword laying near the bows.
As you look up the stream you notice a small raft inside of the cave. It has some ropes attached to the sides and looks like it was used to tie down crates and boxes (or possibly even people)
There are no more enemies visible that you can see currently.
(Anyone want to do some RP before the group moves on?)
Kal those arrows may be useful to you and Niche. The short-sword isn’t worth scrap. I’m royally pissed off now so I suggest we find some goblins for me to vent on and hopefully Gundren and Sildar will be appreciative of the assist.
“That was crazy.” Niche still looks a little stunned that the two disappeared just like that, “Maybe we can get a magician to locate them once we get to Phandalin. We’ll focus on Gundren for now.” She readies her crossbow again, prepared to resume her scouting position “Honestly it is a lot more than I bargained for...”

Bran Will run forwards and try and smash Varax’s arm that’s holding onto Natalia with his hammer. Get off her creep! Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Damn should have refreshed the feed.... Branagh will follow through the portal then if in range will do above

Well, shit. Anybody got a way to magicly track someone?

If nobody has any ideas on how to track the portal, Kal will at least go check the goblin bodies.

Branagh starts swearing in Celestial (mostly because it has a nice ring to it)

Ah'll take 'nuf ta top off ma quiver.
As an aside to Bran
Take a minute ta get yer head straight. Goin' into a dangerous situation pissed off is a good way ta get kilt.

(Once RP is completed define the new marching order and we will continue forward with the existing perception check)
(Also from the feel of it, everyone gathered as a group at this point meaning that Zandrich, Kal and Niche crossed the creek to join Bran correct)
