De'ran stand a bit back from the others as they make their way towards and into the cave. Noticing all the webbing he's prepared and he will Ready a wild shape into Giant Spider if they encounter any spiders in the cave
Everyone begins entering the dimly lit cave entrance, sticky webbing clinging to your boots. The Humans and Kenku know that going any further into the cave will mean being unable to see, without a light source.
Flutter flies deeper into the tunnel, which corkscrews downward about 100 feet before stopping at the entrance to a broad chamber, about 50 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet tall. Towering stalagmites and dripping stalactites nearly converge into columns of stone in various places around the cave. One 30-foot wall is completely covered with silky webbing, and is plastered with the exsanguinated corpses of dozens of elves, humans, fey, and woodland beasts. In the center of the wall of webbing are five colorful dragons, each the size of a housecat. Four are bright red, and one is a shining sky blue. There is a pile of shining treasure on the far end of the room, near the mouth of another tunnel that leads deeper into the cave.
"I guess so. Only forwards, right? Either way if there's a spider... shepherd... that's powerful enough to indeed have captured a dragon we should be extremely careful."
To the group... Sparks holds up five fingers, one at a time, clearly counting. "Little..." In de'ren's voice. "Dragon..." In the crunching leaf voice of the driad.
He holds his hand very close to the ground, indicating how large the small dragons Flutter saw were.
Garick will whisper a little tune to Aerin and give him bardic inspiration
(1d6 and as a valor college bard my inspirstion does this: also at 3rd level, you learn to inspire others in battle. A creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made. Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack, after seeing the roll but before knowing whether it hits or misses.)
((Sorry completely forgot to post in the thread sorry ill be active now))
Harbek pays close attention to Sparks’ information, and says to Aerin “alright, you heard it. Let’s lead the way. Can someone get a light for Aerin, though? Our hands are a bit occupied.”
Feeling the two cast spells and inspire him, Aerin says "Thank you" to each of them, then pushes forward with his illuminated longsword in front of him, covering enough so that he can see up to wherever Sparks is right now.
Whispering loud enough for Sparks to hear Aerin calls out ahead. "Sparks, let me know if I need to hide this light okay?"
(After Sparks has finished scouting ahead, if we come upon the next area Aerin will go in front)
You slowly head down the tunnel, twisting deeper into the earth. About a hundred feet in you come upon Flutter, sitting and waiting at the entrance to a broad chamber, about 50 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet tall. Towering stalagmites and dripping stalactites nearly converge into columns of stone in various places around the cave. One 30-foot wall is completely covered with silky webbing, and is plastered with the exsanguinated corpses of dozens of elves, humans, fey, and woodland beasts. In the center of the wall of webbing are five colorful dragons, each the size of a housecat. Four are bright red, and one is a shining sky blue. There is a pile of shining treasure on the far end of the room, near the mouth of another tunnel that leads deeper into the cave.
(Same description Flutter saw, but now you're all just outside the chamber.)
Harbek steels himself and starts into the cave, doing his best to be quiet, and let the scout do his work undisturbed.

Harbek looks back at the group. “Ideas? Or should I just head on in?”

Sparks casts darkvision on himself.
He then continues on ahead, scouting the path forward ahead of the group and whatever light source they need to use.
To the group...
Sparks holds up five fingers, one at a time, clearly counting.
"Little..." In de'ren's voice.
"Dragon..." In the crunching leaf voice of the driad.
He holds his hand very close to the ground, indicating how large the small dragons Flutter saw were.
Thorin will cast bless on Sparks, Aerin, and Harbek
will also cast guidance on Sparks

Thorin will cast light on Aerin's longsword blade if he wants it (that way he can regulate how much light he wants to shed with it)
Feeling the two cast spells and inspire him, Aerin says "Thank you" to each of them, then pushes forward with his illuminated longsword in front of him, covering enough so that he can see up to wherever Sparks is right now.

Sparks stays well ahead of your light, so he would not want you to illuminate him...
Garick will bring up the rear, bringing his crossbow half way up to prepare for whatever might happen.

Sparks calls ahalt by holding up his hand for everyone to stop. he then sends Flutter down that other tunnel, seeing what is in there now.
Flutter perception: 18
Flutter Stealth: 23
Sparks will try to sneak into the chamber ahead...
Stealth: 9
Add from guidance: 4
(Do the dragons react to our presence or seem unmoved, or do they not notice us yet?)
Aerin will fully cover the sword with his cloak and waits for Flutters signal to remove it
