I like that smell, it reminds me of home.

Are we carrying torches or is it bright enough to see?

 Several of the porters are carrying torches or other means to light the way, there is ample light to see most everything.

"Wait, hold up." Gaetana stops and looks around, "Any of you hear that?  Sounds like the falling of small stones down the face of the rock."  She tries to find the source or a small pile of rocks to determine where someone or something might be hiding.

Investigation: 9  (Passive investigation is 17)

Anvil stops when Gaetana mentions hearing something.

"I do not hear anything," Anvil begins. "But I did feel something."

He pauses for a moment.

"A vibration in the ground like a small ripple of a wave. Something has happened."

He goes quiet for another moment to see if he can feel or hear anything else.

Perception: 32  

Anvil then turns to Max. "Have you noticed vibrations before? Rocks falling? The ground moving?"

Gaetana you look around and along the walls there are several small stones that look like they might have fallen from the walls. 

Anvil extending your awareness outward you can no longer detect any vibrations. 

Maxwell responds back "Small tremors are not unusual down here. They normally last for a few seconds with the occasional rocks falling. I have never experienced anything to be concerned about All the same maybe keep a small distance from the walls just incase" 

Anvil looks at the walls.

"A cave-in would be unfortunate," Anvil says, then continues down the tunnel.

Gruno eyes the walls anxiously and moves more towards the center of the tunnel as directed. "I don't like the sound of that to be honest. Do these tremors happen randomly or with any amount of frequency?"

"The few that were reported were random and barely more than what you've experienced so far" 

“Warforged, I’m surprised you don’t have a percentage chance of a cave-in.  But yeah, Gruno, I don’t like the sound of it either.  Let’s all stay to the middle and get a move on.”  Gaetana helps keep the group together and away from the walls.  Keeping an eye on things as she moves.  Getting caught in this tunnel under a pile of rubble are what nightmares are made of.

Would the wall not be more sturdy than the ceiling? No forget it, you are more experienced in the wild than i am

Golwing takes a sash out of his pocket and ties it around his head, casting light on it, using it as a improvised headlamp.

The group continues to travel for a few more hours. You all do experience a few more small tremors, and one very minor, very quick quake that does shake the ground and cause a few rocks to fall. But all in all its been a relatively safe journey so far. You finally find yourselves emerging into the largest cavern you've come across yet. It is easily 30 ft high and 60 ft wide. Large stalactites hang from the ceiling while bulbous stalagmites jut up like they are trying to reach their kin above. And along the far wall you can see the shape of a stone building carved directly into the rock face. The floor of the cavern gives way from rough natural rock to smooth stone tiles. There are two large pillars that go floor to ceiling, intricate spirals and shapes carved into the entire length. And 2 large stoner doors bar the way further in.

Maxwell begins to shout orders to the men carrying gear "Setup camp over along the wall opposite from the structure. Break out the tents and start food."

Various voices begin to fill the cavern as everyone goes about their assigned task.

One of the men moves away from the group to put some containers off to the side when something falls from the wall, its almost bat like as it spreads wings wide open. His scream echos as he is picked up and the creature darts down the cave into the tunnel youve all just come from.

Raised voices begin to cry out one of which is Flax "Quick head after im"

Hearing the screams and seeing the creature fly past, Gruno unsheathes one of his short swords and sprints down the tunnel as fast as possible in pursuit. 

Anvil turns and takes off after Gruno.

As he runs, he levels a hand at the flying creature, cuts upwards and downwards, and intones "sankta flamo."

A streak of flame jets down from the cavern ceiling, targeting the flying creature, but leaving the person being carried clear.

Casts: Sacred Flame  Dex DC16 save or takes 6  radiant damage.

"I know this annoying things! Keep an eye out for discard leather around. They may be more and they can make fake illusions," Sulfas shouts as he chases them, "If you can make bright, make it bright!!" If he manages to catch up the creature, he lashes out with his greataxe.

Attack: 22 Damage: 7

Attack: 20 Damage: 13

You all move to give chase back into the tunnel. Grunomar by far the quickest to react is able to catch up and is able to jump and grab ahold of the porter that was taken.

Str check to see if the creature can maintain flight with the sudden weight. Set the DC at 14: 19

He is able to stay in the air but his speed is slowed and he cant get more than about 8 ft off the ground.

Anvil raises his hand and with his incantation calls forth a mote of divine fire down towards the creature: 22

The creature turns and the fire slams into the stone floor of the cavern.

Vulcan even with your great speed you cant quite reach them without dashing(let me know if thats what you would like to do)

Waiting on what Golwing and Gaetana would like to do as their reaction then we can all roll initiaitive.

(Anvil's Initiative after Golwing and Gaetana's reactions - 8  )

Sulfas switches to his javelin and hurls it at the creature.

Javelin: Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Initiative: 20

Javelin: Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Initiative: 20

 You hurl your javelin with a mighty roar but it goes just over the head of the creature and bounces off the ceiling clattering to the ground.

Initiative: 17

At the commotion that her comrades make after the flying creature, Gaetana turns, draws her longbow and fires two arrows in quick succession at the winged thing

Attack: 18 Damage: 7

Attack: 9 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Initiative:  6

 Your first shot lands true but causes the creature to sway and the second ricochets off the cave wall.
