Kathleen says, "Alright then. We'll go ahead. You head back to the campsite. Though I'm pretty sure the mechanical goblins have re-grouped and are planning an ambush in the tunnel. They probably even have Bubba with them to try and eat anyone heading back the way we came. I'm sure a strong dwarf such as yourself can handle about 15 goblins and a Bubba no problem. I'd like it if you came with us though. We could use your strength."
Gris successfuly makes his way to the opposite tunnel. You now stand outside the low tunnel, which is about seven feet high by five feet wide. A faint green light comes off mosses and lichens which line the damp stone walls, lending the scene a ghostly appearance. Dwinkle whimpers.
"My dwarven bones tell me there is evil in these tunnels." He whispers.
Kathleen says, "Evil huh? With the stuff we've seen so far, I think we can handle whatever it is we encounter moving forward. We make a good team." Something seems to excite her as she stands on her toes and smacks the palm of her left hand with her right fist. "We should have a team name like the group of Tabaxi in that story I read as a kid. They lived in a cat-shaped castle and their leader had a magic sword. I think they were called, 'Lightning Cats;"
"However..." she says after she calms down a bit, "This tunnel is only 5ft wide. We will have to form single file lines and that has a lot of tactical disadvantages." It seems like her experience from her previous team has started to show again, "Going in a single file line makes it easier for enemies to ambush us and pick us off one by one. If they know any secret passages, they can do a devastating attack from both sides. We may be able to combat it but we will be in an undoubtedly unfavorable situation, especially if..." Kathleen shakes her head and stops herself when she realizes she started to ramble. "Anyway..." she says, her smile returning to her face, "I think it would be best if I go and scout the area ahead. I'll be careful to not be seen and will look around for traps."
Adoy would be somewhere near the front in hopes that he can manage to get any goblins they may encounter to talk rather than fight. I think he would be cautious and be behind at least one other person though, probably someone a little less squishy and a little more likely to live through a surprise attack by a Bubba.
As everyone is getting a marching order ready, Kathleen says, "Wait! What did I just tell you guys? Everyone please wait here. I'm going to go ahead and scout the area. Please wait here until I get back."
Kathleen heads into the tunnel alone and tries her best to not be seen. Stealth8
She also looks around for anything out of the ordinary (secret doors, odd items and traps. Especially traps) Perception16
Kathleen makes no more sound then a shadow as she passes through the faintly green glowing tunnel. She finds a few loose chains buried in the slime-covered floor, as well as a couple discarded scimitars and daggers, all covered in filth and grime. No traps can be spotted.
Outside the tunnel, Dwinkle is stating his argument that "You will need an experienced veteran to bring up the rear in case of ambush." (namely, him).
"This is amusing." Kathleen picks up two scimitars. She then clears some slime off the floor to see where the chains actually lead/ what they are attached to.
The half orc begrudgingly agrees to wait for the elf to scout ahead. "If she is not back in 10 minutes, we go in. She may be dead already," he said with an air of little confidence in this plan. While he waits, he stares at the dwarf with a look of disdain. "Your pants are awful, Dwinkle," he remarked to pass the time. Still holding his battleax, he was a menacing sight.
Kathleen hears Dwinkle and turns back to tell him, "Just hug the walls like Ghorbash."
"And dirty myself? I think not. I have had quite enough crawling around tunnels, let me tell you."

Intimidation 16
Gris shouts to Dwinkle "if you want you can cross the lake on my back!"
(Gris has the "Powerful Build" feat)
Dwinkle grudgingly agrees to cross on Gris' back, as long as he will not get wet.

Gris will move the same way as Ghorbash
Gris successfuly makes his way to the opposite tunnel. You now stand outside the low tunnel, which is about seven feet high by five feet wide. A faint green light comes off mosses and lichens which line the damp stone walls, lending the scene a ghostly appearance. Dwinkle whimpers.

"You think? Evil in a place with mutilated Goblins and monstrous fishmen? Seems a bit far fetched." Ayoola says with a grin and shakes her head.

Adoy smiles at Kathleen's suggestion of a team name and says, "The Real Fishbusters"
Sorry, I was gone for the weekend.
Could I get a marching order please?

Ayoola will stay near the rear. Second last would be preferable.
The chains are about ten feet long, and are not attached to any other object.

Kathleen, still as quiet as ever, presses forward deeper in to the tunnel.
