"Maybe someone should scout up ahead. If there any Goblins up there we might be able to lure them back here into an ambush even if we can't get the wolves to help us" says Gorne, quietly, to his companions.
OoC: Is the cave a natural unlit cavern or have the goblins put torches up?
"The hole is just a rubbish chute. I don't think we'll find much here. I suggest we move up the stairs.. Perhaps we should just untie the wolves and let em go. I feel bad about keeping them tied up."says Cinder.
You move up the stairs for as far as you can see (roughly 20 feet). As you move through the passage, you notice the stairs quickly become much steeper. The stream follows along the left side of the passage for as far as you can see.
When Elora reaches a point where she can't see anymore due to the darkness, and returns to the group.
"I tried scouting ahead but I can't see in the dark, I'm afraid that I would be overrun by goblins if I lit a torch. I would prefer to move as a group."
Totally fair. safety in numbers in this instance. Shall we proceed as before I’ll stay in the middle providing light while the sneakier amongst us skirt the dim light ahead of us to keep a weary eye out for ambush?
Gorne takes up a position as far towards the front of the group as he can while still being in the light, "I'm not a fan of caves, don't have those tricky eyes a lot 'o folks do" he grumbles
You all travel down the passage. The stream passage continues up beyond another set of uneven steps ahead, bending eastward as it goes. A waterfall sounds out from a larger cavern somewhere ahead of you. After walking about 35 feet, a rickety bridge spans the passage, connecting two tunnels that are 20 feet above the stream.
The bridge looks to be of makeshift build. It won't be collapsing any time soon, but it wouldn't be overly difficult to destroy. You do not see anyone on the bridge.
You keep a sharp eye out for anything that may come by.

"That is a great idea Gorne, but what about that hole on the cavern wall? Should we check that first?" says Elora.
"The hole is just a rubbish chute. I don't think we'll find much here. I suggest we move up the stairs.. Perhaps we should just untie the wolves and let em go. I feel bad about keeping them tied up." says Cinder.

"What if the wolves attack us when they are freed? Better to just go, aye?" Klarth asks.
"I agree in setting the wolves free, but we could release them on our way out" says Elora.
"I will scout ahead and see if I can see something"
Elora moves quietly down the stairs to gather some information.

Klarth steps up near Elora. "I am not the quietest, but I would feel better being up at the front," he says quietly.
Gorne takes up a position as far towards the front of the group as he can while still being in the light, "I'm not a fan of caves, don't have those tricky eyes a lot 'o folks do" he grumbles
I hear ya Gorne. It’s why I learnt this little trick
Cinder turns to the wolves, crouches beside them and speaks to them gently. "I promise we will return to free you all."

He then follows the group up the stairs, staying towards the back and trying to stay hidden.

Klarth moves along with the group, mace and shield ready, trying to move as quietly as his large body will allow.

Ok Vidar, What are you casting light on?
The marching order (correct me if I'm wrong) is: Klarth, Gorne, Elora, Vidar, Cinder
Vidar will cast Light on his sword, making it glow with a pale white light and will hold his sword aloft as the proceed

Elora finds the cavern and the river a very pretty sight. "This cave is so pretty, look at the river down there. But that bridge doesn't seem so good"
She then looks around trying to see if there are any problems with the bridge, or if she can spot hiding creatures.
Perception :7
The bridge looks to be of makeshift build. It won't be collapsing any time soon, but it wouldn't be overly difficult to destroy. You do not see anyone on the bridge.
Cinder will step to the front of the group. "Let me test the bridge, make sure it's safe. I'm pretty quick on my feet so I'll be okay."
He'll then approach the bridge and try to cross it if no one else stops him.
