Sylyra is getting impatient. He stops watching the cave entrance and looks up the tunnel to try to determine whether he should take the bull by the horns instead of holding back.
Zelra chuckles and accepts Ola's handkerchief, wiping her hands clean. "Honestly? I do kind of want to blow that wall down. It'll get rid of any element of surprise we have but like... I want to." She gives the group a grin. "From what I could tell, there's at least two behind the wall."
"Blowing the wall inward, with whatever means you think of, will be far too loud. We could alert the entire cave presence at once and have them all charging us together. Being vastly outnumbered is not going to grant us any aid in getting through this cave. Especially when there are troops coming in any minute from behind. We'd be trapped with no where to run. I'd suggest we try to move in, either sneaking or not. And if we don't sneak, then we run to the other end as fast as we can." Otger then looks at Zelra, "What was that you cleaned off your hands?"
OOC: How big are the holes? And are they on one side of the tunnel or both?
"There were furs hung on the walls that were covered in dust and lice and all sorts of nasty stuff. I touched them while looking for an entrance-" At first, Zelra has a look of disgust on her face as she describes the furs but it slowly morphs into a look of realisation before she face palms. "They had furs. Hung on the walls. Gods, I should've looked UNDER the furs.. Why am I like this?"
Uragum thought about it for a bit, "Maybe I could push it in or two of us could cast magic through it. Our fancy exploding ice knifes... or we just go past it and start ripping fur off the walls."
"I suppose even I can get past those wholes un-noteced - they are too small to truly watch out, but I am almost certain they will hear me" admitted Ola her weakness. "We could make some minor noise - imitate an animal wandered into cave? - to get those shooters out"
"But considering Sylyra is already inside - we might not have much choice soon anyway."
The holes in the wall are around the size of arrow slits. Through one of them, you see a goblin, standing sideways and chattering with someone or something else. The goblin seems distracted, so you slip right past, around the bend.
Ten feet ahead of you now is a large room littered with ratty blankets and bedrolls, some small bones from eaten rodents, and other filthy remnants of fine goblin living. Lice-ridden furs decorate the walls.
Taking a similar path through the rubble, Sylyra moves into the cave and around the bend to the south.
Zelra looks like she's about to say something but stops as she sees Sylyra slips inside. "And there he goes... Well, I'm gonna follow him in. Now that common sense has returned to me, I think we might be able to find that entrance." She quickly makes her way back deeper into the cave and to the large room.

In response to Arnold he says, "Nah, no way to grow rocks, shape them maybe but I ain't got that ability." He looks to the others as they start to move out and continues to say, "I guess we go all sneaky like. Not my forty, for..tie. not what I'm good at, but let's go." He then tries his best to sneak past the goblins.
Ruik stood at the entrance waiting for the others to decide what to do. As it appeared a decision had been made he moved to follow the group. He noticed that Sly had been left to watch but wondered if they got to far under the ground if the man could still communicate with the bird. But he had no desire to wait, alone, at the entry. He stays at the rear keeping a watch for anything coming up behind them.

Ruik Stealth: 8
The party follows Sylyra into the cave once he is out of sight. Occasionally, Ola's armor clinks, and at one point Arnald unexpectedly steps into a small hole, causing rubble to kick across the floor, but thankfully it is hidden by the goblins' mumbling from behind the eastern wall.
Around the bend, the light from outside ends. The cave beyond is dark, rendering all but Sylyra, Uragum and Zelra blind.
For Ruik, Sylyra, and Zelra:
This room is littered with ratty blankets and bedrolls, some small bones from eaten rodents, and other filthy remnants of fine goblin living. Lice-ridden furs decorate the wall.
For Ruik and Sylyra:
Two furs in the southeastern corner of the room catch your eye. Something is different about them...they are moving, ever so slightly, rippling by the slightest breeze. Unlike the rest of the furs lining the room, these two are hanging over an opening.
Sylyra is getting impatient. He stops watching the cave entrance and looks up the tunnel to try to determine whether he should take the bull by the horns instead of holding back.
At the mention of arrow slits Arnald perks up. "How many are in the room? Perhaps I can shot them through their own slits?"

OOC: The holes look to be around four inches in diameter; big enough to fire through, but creatures behind it have three-quarters cover.

Sylyra moves stealthily further into the cave.
Uragum thought about it for a bit, "Maybe I could push it in or two of us could cast magic through it. Our fancy exploding ice knifes... or we just go past it and start ripping fur off the walls."
"Can any of you mages cause the rock to grow a bit? Maybe you could just fill in all the arrow slits so the two inside are no longer a threat."

Ola warned them about her less than stellar sneaking abilities. Warned twice. Well, here it goes: 20 or with Disadvantage: 9
