Klarth moves back up to the front with Elora and Gorne, squishing with each step. His head is on a constant swivel, alert for anything he could take out his anger on over his impromptu bath.
You all follow the stairs deeper into the cave. As you come around a corner, you reach an open cavern half filled with a large pool of water. 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. Two low fieldstone walls serve as dams holding the water in, though one wall appears to have recently collapsed, likely causing the flood. A wide exit stands to the south, while a smaller passage with more ascending stairs leads west. The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cavern, making it difficult to hear. Two large stalagmites are in the cavern, one 5 feet ahead of you, the other roughly 15 feet southeast.
"Your gran was a wise one Vidar" jokes Elora, following everyone.
"I will keep the rear with Cinder, just in case" she says. She then turns to Cinder and whispers while looking a bit excited "Is it true what they say about your kind, that you can see in the dark like cats?"
You all choose to follow the narrow path. You ascend the path for a few moments before coming to an open area. A bridge spans between the tunnel you are in and another tunnel across a 15 foot gap. Below you can see a small path and a stream, and lying on the bridge is a familiar goblin corpse.
Cinder nods towards Elora. "Yes, I can indeed see quite well in the dark." he whispers back.
As the group approaches the bridge, Cinder pushes through to the front to examine it. He checks for any traps and checks the strength of the bridge to see if it can support everyone as they cross.
You don't see any traps, and the bridge seems decently sturdy. It should be able to hold everyone. The tunnel on the opposing side goes on roughly 30 feet northwest, before turning south out of sight.
At Cinder's gesture, Klarth immediately steps onto the bridge, then hesitates. He looks down, gulps, and then takes a deep breath and starts heading across, mace and shield ready.
Elora, you creep further into the tunnel. You manage to sneak up to the entrance of an open area, about 25 feet in diameter. On the opposite side of the room, a steep natural staircase leads up to the ledge of another room. The air is hazy with the smoke of a cooking fire, and pungent from the smell of poorly cured hides and unwashed goblins. You can see 5 goblins tending a fire on the bottom level.

"I believe there are more goblins further up the passage. They were probably made aware of us by this one."
Cinder follows the group, taking up the rear once again.

"That was either him or some trap that triggered that water". Elora moves up to the front with Gorne and follows him.
Vidar shrugs and continues, at the rear of the group

Klarth stops as they reach the cavern. "Which way?" he asks, whispering.
If in doubt go left my gran always used to say
Gorne chuckles, "a personal favourite of my own as well," the fighter moves over towards the passage to their left and and peers down it.

Cinder quietly follows the group, keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary and looking for any recent tracks.

He seems to have sprung a leak. Is it me or is this underpopulated? Vidar looks around suddenly concerned about traps

"This bridge looks strong enough for us to cross. After you." Cinder gestures the other to lead the way across.

Vidar rolls his shoulders and follows stooping his head slightly
As you make your way across the bridge and through the tunnel, you turn a corner to see the dim glow of fire light further down the passage.
Elora moves up to Klarth "let me take a closer look" and she moves ahead quietly to take a quick look.
