Anvil takes in the injuries of the porter.
"Based on your profession and where you seek employment you are not likely to have a full lifespan," Anvil begins. "However you will still be of some use for the time being. Saniga vorto."
With the last words, a shimmering glow springs up around the porter's injuries and the blood flow stops and the wounds begin to knit together.
The porters eyes stay closed but he takes a deep breath. You swing and fire at the 2 creatures dancing around each other. Your bolt flies thru one of them causing it to vanish leaving just one gliding down the tunnel.
You begin to register a vibration in the rock surrounding you all and before you can get a word out the tunnel begins to shake. Much more than a small tremor, this is a full blown quake. Rocks tumble down from the walls and ceiling and dust begins to cloud your sight.
Anvil you instinctively use your body to shield the injured man.
Gruno you see a large rock fall and pin the creature to the floor.
The rest of you do you best to dodge the falling stone........
It only last a few seconds but it seems like minutes have gone by with the caves around you closing in. The dust begins to settle and you can now hear the shouting of raised voices.
Gruno, Anvil, Vulcan the tunnel mouth leading to the bigger cave has partially collapsed. Its not closed but will take a little bit of climbing to get over. The cries and screams from the other side are echoing down the tunnel behind you.
Gaetana, Golwing. Large chunks of ceiling have fallen everywhere. Looking around you can see a few of the tents are completely crushed. The tunnel mouth where some of your comrades chased the flying creature has partially collapsed. You can see people moving about, hear them calling out to others. You both also notice the doors to the structure are no longer closed or even completely intact.
Gaetana runs to the rubble that blocks her and their other companions, “Gruno, Anvil, Vulcan, are you all ok?” Once that is confirmed, she starts looking around at the carnage the earthquake made. Checking to see if anyone is trapped under the stones. As she sees others calling and tending to the ones that are in need, she sees that the doors to the structures are no longer closed or even really doors anymore. In the back of her mind, wondering if she should be concerned about this.
After surveying the situation they are in, she gets out her rope and tosses over the large chunks of ceiling blocking her and Golwing from the rest, attempting to help them climb over to the rest of the group.

Anvil hears Gaetana call out to them. He pauses, looks around at the others and turns back to the opening.
"Yes. We are okay," Anvil says and then pauses for a moment before continuing. "For now. Another tremor has a high probability of causing serious structural damage to this tunnel."
He helps the porter to his feet and then guides him with the rope over the debris and into the main chamber with the rest of the group, nodding his thanks at Gaetana when he sees she's who tossed the rope over.
He notices the doors that are no longer in place and heads to this new entrance and peers inside.

"Is that all you got!? That's not going to kill me!" Sulfas shouts as at the walls before turning to group and returning to normal tone, "So we digging our way out or what?"

You look through the broken doors and the bleak, dank Underdark gives way to a dusty, worked-stone floor and walls. Passages to the north and south stretch away into the darkness, while you can just make out a stone door that greets you to the east.The door is decorated in geometric, dwarven designs. More menacing is the crimson red staining most of the stones in spattered, jittery patterns.
"Is that all you got!? That's not going to kill me!" Sulfas shouts as at the walls before turning to group and returning to normal tone, "So we digging our way out or what?"
You watch as Anvil climbs over the rocks with the aid of a rope from the other side.
“Hey, you guys coming over here and joining us or did you decide to fly off with one of those creatures?” Gaetana calls to the other two still on the other side of the rocks while she holds the rope - impatiently.
Once everyone is back over on their side safely, Gaetana walks up to see what Anvil is checking out beyond the doors. “This place looks way bigger than I ever imagined.. and look, blood, that’s inviting.” She heads back to Maxwell and Flax, “Well, now that the doors have been ceremoniously opened, is the plan to venture forth? Looks to be ways to the North and South, with a door to the East” She asks, then almost as an afterthought, “Oh, and are all of you ok?”
“Ah well, looks like there are some that need help.” Gaetana turns around and heads to the nearest one that is crying and sees what she can do to help, if there are ones that are still pinned, she will lift the stones off of them. Are there any nearby that are in bad need of healing as well?
You can see several of the porters are bleeding as they work to help move large rocks. You also see that there are several that were not so lucky. Strangely you can't seem to find Flax or Maxwell
Sulfas muttering something about boring route as he climbs the rope. Taking in everything, Sulfas goes to help moving the large rocks for the time being.

Anvil watches the others help the injured porters for a moment. Then he kneels down to see what he can do with any that appear unconscious or dying (casting Spare the Dying on any who it might help).
Once he notices Flax and Maxwell are gone, he looks around to see if any of the other 'explorer/archaeologists' are still there (or are there only porters left?).
After making sure the creature is dead, Gruno will use the rope and climb over to join the others. He doesn't have any healing abilities, but he helps as best as he can and as needed.
Looking around at some point he would have noticed the missing members of the team. "Umm, Flax? Maxwell? Has anyone seen either of them? Are we missing anyone else?"
Out of the 3 people you cast your spell on you see one of them taking shallow breaths, the others are already gone.
You do see the elven woman you were introduced to running about, she has a nice stream of blood running down her face but she seems to be trying to help the others. When she sees you all she waves frantically to come to her. "During the quake the doors burst open and several dark figures seem to fly out of there. They grabbed Maxwell, Flax and one other of the porters before going back in." she looks about "Please go after them, find them. We can handle the rest out here, at least those that have a chance of surviving." One of the other porters comes over to take the one she was looking at as she moves quickly to the next person that needs help.
Gaetana watches Anvil do what he can with the ones he sees are gone. While looking around helpless unsure of where to start, she is relieved to see the elven woman she recognizes taking charge of the fallen before her. Gaetana knows she was hired to hunt and protect, she has a little healing abiities, but when it comes to situations such as this, she feels a bit at a loss and HATES that feeling.
She listens to the elven woman, nods, then turns to her party, "Come on guys, we have Maxwell, Flax and another gentlemen to find!" Gaetana darts off to the open doors she was just at moments before, looks at her three possibilities and tries to discern which way the creatures took their charges. Gaetana kneels down and pictures the shortsword that Flax carries in her mind. While she is describing it, she casts Locate Object to determine which direction that shortsword is going.
Sulfas drops a large piece of debris out of harm's way as he watches Gaetana heads in, "They got the bait. Let's spring this trap then," He moves to follow her into, one hand on his weapon, "Do you magic thing and let's go."

While Gaetana tries to track the missing with her magic, Anvil moves inside the open doors and looks more closely at the splotches of blood. He looks to see if they're fresh and if so, which pathway they lead down (south, north, or through the doors ahead to the east.
Anvil takes in the injuries of the porter.

Bonus Action - casts Healing Word and heals 8 HP
Anvil then looks over to the flying creatures, draws his light crossbow, takes aim at the closer of the two and lets a bolt fly.
Action - Light Crossbow - Attack: 10 Damage: 3

"We are ok I think, let me check on the status of our new friend."
Gruno dusts himself off while heading over to where the creature was pinned to the floor to see if it is dead or alive.
"Is that all you got!? That's not going to kill me!" Sulfas shouts as at the walls before turning to group and returning to normal tone, "So we digging our way out or what?"

More menacing is the crimson red staining most of the stones in spattered, jittery patterns.
You can see that the stone that landed on this creature managed to crush most of its very large body. there is a pool of red forming around it.
You watch as Anvil climbs over the rocks with the aid of a rope from the other side.

Gaetana you get a sense that the sword you are tracking lies to the east of your location.
Anvil analyzing the blood you can see that the blood is fairly fresh and seems to lead to the southern door.
