Skrud leans his head forward a little, looking down at the ground where Tempe's head appears to be gazing from his bow.
"What? Did you drop something? Skrud help look."
The strange little goblin will get down on all fours and scrounge around on the cave floor for whatever it is he thinks you've dropped.

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
"Skrud not get joke! Skrud too stupid! But must be funny so Skrud laugh!"
And Skrud begins to cackle and caper around falling down in a fit of laughter and getting even more dirt on his clothes than he had from crawling around.

Zenodor ponders for a second and adds "You know, perhaps Skrud is wiser than he seems. If there was indeed some creature living in the pitch black darkness in the deep - would it not be to our advantage to lure it out to fight it in the sunlight.

After waiting for a short time to see if anything comes out, (and assuming nothing does) Z suggests they begin to explore the cave, with Irraxan scouting ahead as planned.
Irraxan reports as before, the tunnel continues straight ahead.
Skrud looks around at everyone with his head tilted up slightly. He takes a big gulp.
"Skrud afraid to go in cave too!"

Pinky flies down the tunnel and doesn't see Irraxan yet.
Irraxan hears digging coming from above just ahead.

"Come, Skrud. You will be safer with us in the tunnel than left behind by yourself. You have seen us defeat a dragon and some chimeras, so trust me when I say that the safest place is with us."
With that, Z follows the rest of the group and trusts that Skrud will see sense and soon follow.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Tempe sighs "I will shore up the tunnel" He casts plant growth telling the plants to strengthen the tunnel with their roots, but leave the tunnel area for humanoids to get thru. Plant growth
(*ooc: that's a powerful spell but it usually only does stuff to plants that already exist, it doesn't create any plants... I will say that trees and some other kinds of plants could have a root system that you could affect leaving the tunnel clear for humans... but I will also allow you to rethink the action if you want based on previous info and this current post.)
Irraxan mentions the digging is getting worse where he is, which is just ahead.
"Not far now to digging, be careful! Skrud not want to be buried alive!"

Z passes ok the information about the digging to the group. In a whisper he says "Someone or something further ahead appears to be digging, and we're getting close. Perhaps someone trying to tunnel below the temple into some hidden sanctum? Should we all go ahead, or perhaps try to approach with Stealth?"

Skrud stands up and dusts off his clothes.
"Skrud not get joke! Skrud too stupid! But must be funny so Skrud laugh!"
And Skrud begins to cackle and caper around falling down in a fit of laughter and getting even more dirt on his clothes than he had from crawling around.
Petcan massages his temples, and sighs.
"Maybe he'll lure all the monsters out to us instead of having to go find them."

Tempe shrugs and summons Pinky about thirty feet away above in a whoosh then pinky flies down and lands on his shoulder "I will go"
he moves in.

"Skrud go in cave Skrud get to be king?"
"Skrud can be brave! Skrud go first!"
The little goblin darts off down the tunnel.
In less than half a minute he comes running back.
"No! No! No! Skrud go last! Skrud follow everyone else! Too much digging! Roof going to cave in! Skrud go last!"
Tempe sighs "I will shore up the tunnel" He casts plant growth telling the plants to strengthen the tunnel with their roots, but leave the tunnel area for humanoids to get thru. Plant growth
