 Going down the pit to enter the cave system is the next move.

Thagakh climbs down and upon seeing two different paths, he flips a coin to point where to go.

( 1 for northwest and 2 for east. )

Ian turns to the group and says, “ Be ready to shoot anything that attacks us .”  He then climbs down the rope after Thagakh and lights a torch.

Tyrus   i could cast light on Talon if you would like

In the direction Thagakh points many tunnels intersect at this natural, thirty-foot-high cavern. The walls are carved with simple reliefs showing dwarf and gnome miners hard at work. Below them, nearly two dozen skeletons in rusted scraps of armor are scattered across the cavern floor. Some are dwarf skeletons, while others are orc remains. Half a dozen large brass lanterns stand in niches or on ledges around the cavern, but none are lit.

johnson climbs down and lights the brass lanterns so he can investigate the room more fully.

Arafiel slides down the rope

Boghadair waits for everybody to climb down,  and keeps a watchful eye out for any trouble.   His bow and arrow are out and ready. 

Once everybody has climbed down,  he puts his bow and arrow away and climbs down using the rope.

As the group enters the room from above Stirges drop down and attack the group.  This horrid monster looks like a cross between a large bat and an oversized mosquito. Its legs end in sharp pincers, and its long, needle-like proboscis slashes the air as it seeks to feed on the blood of living creatures. Stealth check 8

 Everyone with passive perception of 19 or lower defends with disadvantage for the first round.

OOC: woohoo

are the stirges attached to the others or flying?

Thagakh felt the sucking sensation that goes through his skin as they feed on his blood. The half-orc brings his battleaxe and swings it at the creature.

Arafiel casts ray of frost at stirge that attacked him

Attack: 12 Damage: 6

OOC:  So I'm in melee with a Stirge?  Is there a penalty for shooting a longbow while in melee, or is it completely out of the question?

OOC:  Nevermind.  I just looked up what a Stirge was in the DM.

Boghadair pulls out both Cult Daggers of the Dragon Lords, drawing his own blood to attune them and shouts "Hlal,  the dragon deity of humor and storytelling I offer you my blood, help make this a grand adventure so I can tell tales of it to all!"
