"Thank you Kathrine, I greatly appreciate the help." Gabriel will take the lead again, going slower and trying to keep a eye out for anything in the path.
Rowan goes first, alert and ready to let Gabriel charge forth in case of danger, but keeping a keen eye out for traps now.
Gabriel follows closely, then Katherine, Alarion, and Cail in the vanguard.
"Halt!" Rowan calls, throwing up a hand in warning. His keen eyes pick up an unusual formation of leaves and brush upon the path. Upon further inspection, poking or brushing at the area, a pit trap is revealed. It would have hurt to have fallen for that one (bad pun sorry)
With a bit of careful circumnavigation, the group is able to go around the trap. Both Gabriel and Rowan are watching for signs of danger and no other threat appears to be lurking, so they continue to follow the Goblin's trail.
By mid-morning, they're following beside a stream, and Rowan puts up a hand again upon making out a cave ahead.
"Whatcha think Rowan? Sneak up and see if they got more traps or hidden guards? Cail and Alarion you two cover Rowan with spells, and arrows while I make ready to charge the entrance if anything happens....i am about as sneaky as a red dragon would be in Candlekeep." Gabriel asks the group, while drawing his sword and get his shield ready.
"Katherine i am sure you know how to best use your divine magic, and help us out."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rowen eyes the cave, nods,, and whispers to the others,
"I think we've found it, but I don't imagine they just left the door open for us. I'll stay in the woodline and sneak around to the right as far as I can get. When I'm out of cover I'll try getting closer to the cave."
He makes his way to the right, staying low and looking for suprises.

You're all on the left side of the creek. The cave that you see ahead requires crossing the stream, as the path continues into the cave on the right hand side. Rowan is very stealthily finding a way to stay hidden while making his way across the narrow stream.
Rowan hears those strange high-pitched utterances once across the stream and still covered by the bush... somewhere to the right of the cave entrance, behind the trees
Kathrine lets the others sneak forward, knowing her own ability to sneak is seriously lacking. She stays on her side of the stream as the others move across it.
3 Goblins. One fast asleep, and the other 2 playing dice loudly. They are in a 'blind' just around the corner of the trees to the right of the cave entrance.
"Shall I go forward and talk with them then?" Kathrine whispers at the report on the goblins ahead. "Maybe they can be convinced to give up Sildar without any harm or threats." She adds with a glance to the others. "Not all goblins are evil you know." She says at the sour looks that turn her way.

Perception check: 9
(Weird)
Perception: 19
Moving again, Rowen will keep an eye and an ear open to see if they're being watched/followed as they move further into the woods.

How far away from the entrance is Gabriel?
55'
Kathrine lets the others sneak forward, knowing her own ability to sneak is seriously lacking. She stays on her side of the stream as the others move across it.
Alarion, though dexterous enough to stealthily cross the stream, will stay with Kathrine, figuring the cleric will appreciate some:
1. Company.
2. Backup if a fight breaks out.
3 Goblins. One fast asleep, and the other 2 playing dice loudly. They are in a 'blind' just around the corner of the trees to the right of the cave entrance.
Rowan sees...
Rowan has to decide - will he do another stealth check to move back to the party and let them know what he's seen?
Kathrine is readying herself for battle, and gives a nod to Alarion, who has chosen to stay by her side... for the moment.
Gabriel looks back and forth between Rowan and Kathrine... and Alarion. I want to protect them all, he tells himself.
I wonder what Cail is doing?
Cail has his bow out, ready to shoot.
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)
DM allowance for Rowan to make it back to the group and report: “3 Goblins, one sleeping, two playing dice.”
Time to slaughter some guard Goblins and take on the cave?
*Sure.*

Rowen will indeed sneak back and tell the group what he saw.
