This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jairo weighs up the options and figures it's probably safer to proceed quietly then risk being swarmed by some unknown entity. "Ok, let's head out, I'll lead and try to deal with any traps we encounter. If Prisca takes the rear with the light then Lia can take the middle. Keep your eyes open and check our rear. Let's go quietly and stealthily, if you see something touch someone's shoulder and whisper - sound carries well down here."
The party starts to move down the tunnel. Lia whispers back anything that might trip up Prisca who is having trouble in the dim light.
After about 10 minutes the party comes to a large cavern. Jario up front you can't see the sides or roof. There are a number of creatures milling about.
Lia with your Nat 20 perception. You can see around 10 of them and based on what you are hearing there is probably some where around 50 in this cavern. Based on the echoes you guess most of the creatures are some where to your left. The ones you can see range in side from a small child to a large 15 ft creature.
None of the creatures have noticed the party and Prisca is still farther back in the tunnel so the majority of his light had not reached the cavern.
Jario you think the next tunnel to Night town should be down and to the right.
Jairo motions for Lia to stay where she is as Jairo continues back to Prisca stopping him in his tracks with a finger to her lips. She then gets out her hooded lantern sets it to its minimal light emission (dim light 5ft radius) and motions to Prisca to use his flames to light the oil in it instead and extinguish his spell causing the area illumination to drop from 20ft radius of dim light to just 5ft. She passes him the hooded lantern and whispers carefully in Prisca's ear "Creatures ahead, we're taking the tunnel down and to the right, stay close to Lia, run if things go wrong"
Jairo then moves back up in front of Lia and points the direction to go before moving ahead by 10ft. With a final glance back to see Prisca is close to Lia she heads out keeping the creatures to her left trying to maximise the distance between the party and the creatures whilst heading towards the tunnel.
Here we go. I have rolled for how far you must travel and created a d10 worth of encounters you can possibly get. The current party stealth is 23 which the hoard is rolling against. Based on the results from each encounter that DC will get easier. Your goal make it to the exit.
If there are no questions, Someone please make a D10 and we will begin.
As the party slowly moves forward in the direction of the exit 3 creatures start to come into view directly ahead of you. There is a low moan coming in their direction. The creatures seem unaware of the party at the moment. What do you do?
Jairo reaches into her rucksack and pulls out a ball bearing, she then continues to skirt to the right trying to sneak pass the creatures, trying to judge if they start to move towards her.
Jario you see the three creatures and freeze. Making a quick scan around you discide to lead the party around to the right. Pointing the threat out to Lia you start to move focusing on the three trying to see if they have noticed the party.
Lia not quite seeing the threat you focus all your attention on trying to see the creatures Jario pointed out. After a few seconds you pick up the Creatures and become laser focused on them as well.
Prisca, you would think you would be at a disadvantage but going up in nature, you know that when 1 sense is limited to shift your focus on the others. You don't see them or hear them coming but you smell something weird. It's faint then gets strong all at once. You pause and turn and see 2 black creatures rushing you. You realize there is no time to dodge and brace your self.
Prisca and Lia make a strength save. Prisca with advantage, Lia with disadvantaged.

Stealth check: 7
Perception check for traps: 3
Ok assuming Jario is 10 feet in front of Prisca.
Prisca and Lia give me a stealth and perception check as well. Prisca your perception check is at disadvantage cause of your limited range of view
Stealth 22
Perception 25
There might be something further up, it's hard to tell from here...
Lia follows Jairo, being careful with her footing
Prisca perception disadvantage

Dm- natty 20 canx the nat 1 for stealth.

How does the party proceed?
Jairo motions for Lia to stay where she is as Jairo continues back to Prisca stopping him in his tracks with a finger to her lips.

With a final glance back to see Prisca is close to Lia she heads out keeping the creatures to her left trying to maximise the distance between the party and the creatures whilst heading towards the tunnel.
Lia gently pulls one of the stars from her Robe, her wand in her other hand...
I will stay close to you Prisca, most of the creatures are to the left...
Prisca lights the lantern and dismisses his spell. He whispers "Ready" as he looks to Lia to lead the way.

Keeping to the right Lia sets forth slow, steady, and quiet...

Everyone give me a perception check.
Lia continues edging forwards following Jairo while staying close to Prisca...
