This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Grahl will take his split of the coinage (10 gp, 21 sp?) and nod toward Ogren to signal that he is prepared to move deeper into the complex. He shoulders his pack and pulls his daggers back out to have them ready at a moment’s notice while trying to be a unnoticeable as possible.
GRAHL TO ALEK: “It might come in handy, mate. Could just be junk left lying around or it could have a purpose we have not been able to sort out yet. If’n our halfling friend does not mind toting it around, we may figure out its purpose yet...”
The group collects the treasure from the footlockers, Marlo grabs the bullseye lantern, and the books are stowed away for reading later. Grahl in particular is looking forward to some time to read his book of poetry.
After triggering the release for the secret door, the group comes through into some natural caverns. There are torches on the walls to illuminate the path as you move forward. After a bit you come across the following...
This roughly circular, naturally formed cavern is about twenty-five feet in diameter.
There appear to be footprints on the ground here, and it looks like someone was recently passing through this area.
"Ah, these are probably from that sneaky sneak from before, yes? Dezlo is thinking they is going to be leading us to a fight; by themselves or otherwise. Should be careful following them Dezlo thinks." She gestures to the tracks as she speaks, while looking around the room to make sure nothing else is hiding in the wings to ambush them. Having so many different creatures and people scurrying around the place leaping out at them was making her much less willing to give things just a cursory pass. A clawed hand idly reaches down to tighten it's hold on her saddle pommel, the feel of the worn leather a comforting reminder her loyal dog was with her even in these strange caverns. The other keeps a steady grip on her rapier where it rests across her lap.
She scans the area, reptilian eyes contracting in the dim cave light, looking for threats, and for clues for the direction their quarry has gone off to.
Investigation check (to look around the cave): 10
Survival check (if that's needed for anything related to the tracks):6

"Hmmm, very well."The nickname rankled, but the idea at least was sound. Pressing low across her hound's back, she tried to direct him to follow the rest slowly and quietly. If need be she could always dart to the front to take on any threats, but even she realized she wasn't the best front-liner when stealth was required. Bright orange scales and loud armor did not a sneaky explorer make.

Dexterity (Stealth): 9
OOC: Do the personal effects that Lupin found look regular or maybe very old (like you know 100-200years) or maybe like from the future?
"Do we any use for this lantern?", Alek asked the rest of the group, while getting ready to move forward.
They look recent, as if someone is currently using the lockers.
Marlo grabbed the lantern...
(OOC: I will get things moving here shortly, so make sure everyone is up to level 2...)
GRAHL TO ALEK: “It might come in handy, mate. Could just be junk left lying around or it could have a purpose we have not been able to sort out yet. If’n our halfling friend does not mind toting it around, we may figure out its purpose yet...”
(OOC: Grahl has finished making level 2 updates)
Dezlo, Lupin, and Orgen need to all get to level 2 before we can move forward.
OOC (Orgen is updated and ready to Proceed.)
Dormark Calling of Strahd (warforged cleric) 4
OOC: Dezlo is updated and ready to go!

How do you move forward? Who is not trying to be sneaky? How far between the scouts and the rest of the group?
Marching order seems to be Orgen, Dezlo, Lupin, Marlo, Belle, Grahl, and Alek in the rear. Let me know if that is incorrect...
Belle Stealth: 23
Beauty Stealth: 10
Sounds good.
Also Perception 11 for sounds of people etc. at the end of the cave
