9 raises her hands and hushes the group to stop moving. She points in the direction of the opening and softly amd silently says, “The entrance to the mine is there, but there are some figures moving around in it. Does anyone need to rest before we approach? I a, pretty certain those are goblins, or whatever was supposed to swarm these mines”, she squints her eyes and grabs her whip, her raspy voice not being very helpful with concealing it.
Nemeia looks to 9 and shakes her head, no. She then looks to the others to see if they need to take a break. When she sees that Moira is carrying the skin over her shoulder, she says quietly, "Why don't you put that in my satchel for now? You don't want to have to worry about lugging that about while we deal with the goblins." Nemeia moves closer to her and unclaps the gears to open the mouth of the satchel just big enough fit the snake skin through. If Moira questions whether it will fit, Nemeia just gives her a knowing wink.
Giving Nemeia a doubtful look Moira shrugs her shoulders and tries to squeeze the snake skin into the satchel as much as she can. “A rest would be nice, but I can keep going if no one else wants one.”
As Moria pushes the snake skin into the bag, she find there is little resistance as it enters. When she lets go, it settles into the bag. There’s a strange visual disturbance when looking into the bag.
”I have an idea that might work well here. There’s a great new spell I learned last night. I can make something appear that might just scare off whoever is there. It’s the snake actually that gave me the idea. It’s a good thing we ran into it.”
Carefully everyone begins to approach the cave like entrance of these mines. Already you begin to see signs of a goblin occupation: Waste and debris thrown out from the entrance, smaller trees cut down and carved into defensive spikes dug into the ground. At the moment you don't see any goblins outside, but those watching get a hint of movement deeper inside the cave.
Witt moves behind the tree to the bottom right and will ready an attack with his shortbow on any creature that comes out of the cave mouth and is definitely hostile. He doesn't speak as he does so, for fear of attracting attention; he has little experience of combat, much less so that his companions he suspects, so he's desperate to avoid making a mistake and causing trouble for the party.
With extreme caution, Mary silently approaches the entrance, while keeping to the shows, and avoiding any traps. As they have no visible guards, they must have traps set up either to make noise, or to injure or maim.
Mary also slowly and quietly grabs her two favorite weapons, the sword in her main, and the dagger in her off. ((one day she'll swap the dagger with a magic one that does roguish damage))

Sorasteps forward closer to the entrance, but making sure to give Mary some space just in case. She continues to keep eyes up, bringing her swords out and getting ready for battle.
Carefully, and very slowly, Mary peeks deeper in the mine, all the while looking for Traps, and Goblins.Mary is making note to tell the others what to expect, and to find the safest and best way to clear the goblins out with minimal danger to the group.
On the map she will only go so far as she can see both the entrance and the first group of goblins.

As Mary moves deeper into the mine, stepping very carefully, the damp grey stone surrounding you and you slip through the dark cavern. About 10 feet into the mine you manage to spot a simple line trap that had been placed there. Beyond that, moving in the darkness, you begin to make out the shapes of goblins, holding ready for an attack, about 30 feet past the trap. You're pretty sure they haven't spotted you just yet, but their eyes are looking towards the entrance, watching behind you carefully, their swords and bows, and clubs in their grip in anticipation.
They may not be aware of you, but they are definitely aware of you allies behind you, and they're ready for a fight.
At this point everyone should roll initiative, as the goblin attack becomes inevitable.

Witt is feeling okay, and shakes his head at the idea of resting. I'm happy to go ahead and scout, but maybe two of us would make more sense?
On hearing what Witt said about scouting ahead, Mary sneaks up next to him, and says, "Sure" in a quiet voice.
She then silently walks to the path 9 pointed at.

“That sounds amazing,” Nemeia says with excitement. “I’d love to learn how you do it!”

Moira decides to join the others in getting into some sort of position and sneaks to the side behind a tree.

9 casts Guidance on herself and moves towards the top right tree, preparing for something to come out of the entrance with her whip ready.
