Moss will rejoin the group and check on her scorpion friend to make sure it survived the water works. "Are we continuing on?" She asks Kai, having noticed Nobody keep going.

The goblin is surprised by your attack Nobody, but not to the point were he can not react. He returns your shot before he hides behind the corner.
Attack: Attack: 21 Damage: 5
You don’t know if it was the goblins skill or if he just got lucky, but the arrow hits its mark and digs deep into your shoulder. Between the mealstrom of stones, rocks and water earlier and the arrow now, you are in really bad shape.
Ostrans gaze follows your arrow, but he is to slow or maybe it is to dark for him to lose his shot before the goblin disappears around the corner. He keeps his crossbow aimed at the corner where the goblin disappeared and glances concerned over to you.
Kai nods to Moss and looks ahead. "Yeah. Assumingly just return to and keep formation." She then looks ahead as far as she can as everyone returns to position.
(Does she hear or see the firing or return firing of/at Nobody?)

Kai you see anything as everything happens around a corner, but you hear a bowstring snap, an arrow knocking against stone, a second bowstring and Nobodys surprised scream.
You also faintly hear a goblin echoing in the distance. Nobody you speak goblin, you hear him shout:
Kai frowns slightly and looks to the others. "Sounds like there is trouble ahead. We better catch up." Kai then leads the rest of the following parties forward to slightly behind Nobody and Ostran. "Need help guys?" Kai will then hold a sacred flame, the aqua glow on her fingertips for any sign of enemies around them in the direction of the goblin voice(s).
If any enemies come into view, she will unleash it on the first one she sees that is hostile. She will also slightly try to block Nobody from any new attacks if needed, using her shield.

Your dim light creates shadows dancing on the walls as you, and everyone else catch up with Ostran and Nobody.
You can hear the goblin shouting a second time:
Do it again!
And you hear loud bangs echoing in the distance. As soon as she hears the first bang, Leona drags Nobody around ignoring his pained groans and starts running back to the kennel. Ostran takes down his crossbow and moans: Not again..., before he too starts runing back to the side passage.
Everyone roll a Dexterity-save, if you roll 9 or lower, roll a Strength-save.

Kai groans in annoyance and considers attempting to dive her way into the (assuming) oncoming water, using her aquatic nature to her advantage to try to avoid the force of the wave, before deciding otherwise and fleeing to the closest alcove to her to not lose too much ground yet.
Dexterity: 10
Strength(if needed): 13
(Long shot. But any advantage for Kai due to her watery lifestyle?)
When the water passes, Kai, seemingly not too affected by the water, frowns. "It seems like we're getting nowhere with this. Maybe we should fall back? Or do a full forced rush?" For the first time since the group has met, she looks genuinely annoyed and mad at the goblins use of water (Her thing!) against her and the group.
(Editted after Dm answer. I'll consider the dive if another wave happens and we haven't left the cave.)
Dexterity is for running away. I would let you try to fight the water and try to brave it with your background with a advantage dc for half or zero damage, but since you already rolled, ( dc would have been 10 for half and 15 for 0 damage ) you will be better of running.
Unless knocked unconscious in the process of evading the second torrent, Nobody slowly gets back to his feet, cursing in a tongue so foul that those that couldn't understand would swear their ears started to bleed from hearing it. He goes from glaring at the ground to slowly panning around to the unconscious goblin captive. A low, guttural growl started to emanate from his throat before he clamps it back in check, and looks to the others with an initially dark look. If he felt any pain in his shoulder, clear anger dulled it for the moment.
"... There's some kind of dam up ahead their using. If we rest now, they may get a third shot at it depending on quickly it fills up. And if we leave now, Sildar is as good as dead... At the very least, we need to eliminate their scout and dam crew before taking a proper breather. I care not after if they try to replace them. The less of them we have to deal with them the better."He says in bitter tones before balling his hands into fist led to a jolt of pain. He muffles it behind clenched teeth, and sits back against the cave wall to start coaxing it out. "Either way, I'm not going. Leave if the rest of you wish."He said in far too calm tones. If any tried to use healing or offer further aid, the tiefling is quick to glare down the suggestion, and even resist the effects, if only out of spite in the moment.

Kai will angrilly advance towards the goblins as long as someone is with her, noting Nobody's stubbornness against any offers if help. (Unless anyone is knocked unconscious. Then I'll re edit it to include that.)
(I assume her light is still in a dim 20 ft radius unless all the water washed the silk cloth off it. Either way...)
Knowing their position is already know, she will pull the silk cloth off her glowing axe to shed brighter light (light is now 20 ft bright light around her 20 Ft dim light from that.) in the cave, knowing they do not have the element of surprise, pushing the silk into her pack as she trudges through the water, her shield raised to protect herself.
If she spots the goblin on the bridge, she will throw a small ball of stream water at his face to try to temporarily blind him before throwing an angry sacred flame at him, attempting to startle him with her sudden attack. (If she does not see the bridge goblin, she will throw it at whichever one is the first one she sees).

Ostran hides in the steep passage again, but in her attempt to save Nobody, Leona collides with Hazel and both stumble. It doesn’t delay them much, but enough that the flood overwhelms them and washes them out of the cave.When the rushing water hits a second time, most of you are able to retreat to the safety of the kennel, where you see that the chained wolf has pulled one of the dead goblins over to his pack and started to tear into the flesh of it.
Fear, anger, bravery, foolishness no matter what emotions fuel you, you are determined to rescue Sildar as you try to storm the cave for the third time. You are under the wooden bridge carefully looking for the goblin who shoot Nobody, when Leona is able to catch up with you and she says in a low voice: Hazel took a big hit to the head, he is alive but bleeding from a wound on his forehead. He said to shout for him when we need his help and that he would come running, but i think he needs a moment to recover.
With this she takes position in front of Nobody trying to shield him from more goblin arrows while you push onwards.
You follow the passage past the bridge but none of you catches a glimpse of the guard. The stream passage continues up beyond another set of uneven steps ahead, bending eastwards and up as it goes. A waterfall sounds out from a large cavern ahead of you.
As Kai and Leona carefully lead you into the cavern, you see two large pools to your left wich are now empty. You are around 15 feet above the bottom of those pools. A narrow waterfall high in the eastern wall feeds the pool, which drains out the western end of the chamber to form the stream that flows out of the cave mouth below. You see the leftovers of two destroyed dams. A wide exit stands to the south, while two smaller passages lead west. The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cave, making it difficult to hear.
Hidden behind two stalagmites are four goblins waiting for you.

Kai waves her hand and a redirects a small stream of the falling water into one of the goblins faces, distracting him. Two of the goblins throw javelins at Kai and Leona, before they draw there short swords and approach while one dashes of through the large exit to the south.
vs Kai Attack: 16 Damage: 2
vs Leona Attack: 20 Damage: 5
The javelin thrown at Kai hits her leg, but the second one is deflected by Leonas shield.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kai growls in annoyance and the aqua light from her fingers flies at the hostile goblin. She will carefully pull the Javalin out of her leg and drop it near her feet for if she needs it. "We just want our friends. Give them over and we'll leave." She knows very well they probably do not speak common, but her annoyance controls her.
(Edit: Alright. We'll do that. And in advance (in case I am unavailable because sleep/busy by the time we reach a new round):
Kai will be doing the same action (to either the same or a different goblin) unless someone goes unconscious, then she will move and use spare the dying on her comrad instead. )
Damage for sacred flame in advance:8 (I'll use this even if I am available).
Moss will rejoin the group and check on her scorpion friend to make sure it survived the water works. "Are we continuing on?" She asks Kai, having noticed Nobody keep going.
