"Great, we're here..." Dollus doesn't really know what he was expecting; ominous gargoyles? Rattling cages with skeletons? A deranged elderly screaming them to turn back?
None of that. The cave almost looked to a be a cool place of rest of sun after all this walking.
"So, we are just to pop in... and grab the gem avoiding any claws that try and grab us?" He stands near Pratchett while observing.
He takes some water from his waterskin, before investigating the area to see if there is any hint what lies inside...
The barrel is filled with hard, woody, dark brown seeds. A few look to have sprouted, but appear dead as they have no green leaf, just a twisted dry stalk.
After about an hour, you come to the mouth of a cave in sandstone. This is it!
Delmyth edges toward the opening from behind the cliff face and peeks inside.

Nothing of interest at the cave's mouth; you may have to travel further in.
(Sorry for the delay replying!)
Varanus proceeds inside still on the look for any hidden traps there may be and taking small notes about the cavern
Greyson pulls out the torch he found lying on the ground and begins delving into the cavern.
Varanus finds no traps at the cave mouth.
Greyson, torch lit, explores a little further. He comes upon a cavern fitted with some barrels and a bedroll. No sign of any present occupants.
Definitely not a temple of an evil forgotten god...
Still, Dollus proceeded, "I got a barrel." He waves to group, taking a look in the first barrel on the left.
Perception:

The barrel is filled with hard, woody, dark brown seeds. A few look to have sprouted, but appear dead as they have no green leaf, just a twisted dry stalk.
Delmyth tries the other barrel.

The other barrel is filled with water.
Dollus picks up a small handful closer to eyes to try and recognise them.
Nature: 12
They are like nothing you've seen before.
Varanus checks the Bedroll (Investigation) 16
Under the bedroll is hidden a silver dagger.
"Silver Huh, somebody wants to kill our sleeping beauty nearby"
“pretty sure there’s no gem here. Shall we move further in?”
Aruzhal - Lv 1 Tempest Cleric - Planescape: Lost
Dusting his hands off, Dollus proceeds with torch in hand.
The cavern opens up into a wide open square room with two doors, and countless woody, leafless shrubs growing in the lightless expanse.
