Taxidea will moves towards where Thor is while encouraging Thor to come to him by offering him food. "Good boy Thor! Come get a treat!"

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Svelta waves at you from the far shore. "I will wait here for a while in case you need a guide back," she says over the sound of the rushing river water.
As Thor approaches Taxidea, he pauses for a moment and shakes vigorously to get dry. Anybody within five feet of the wolf gets wet.
Taxidea gives Thor some food and scratches his ears. "Good boy!"

Prim suggests she casts Mage Armour & take a short rest to regain the spell slot. IIRC she can cast it on 2 others, if they aren't wearing armor, to increase base AC to 13. & get the slots back
Taxidea doesn't need a rest, but if Prim wants to cast Mage Armor on Thor and rest he's good with that.

Orion says to the group, "This seems like the run-off from a hobgoblin pissoire, unless I miss my guess. We should be prepared for battle when we go up those stairs."
Taxidea cracks his knuckles. "Oh yeah...always..."

Orion, you make it to the top of the stairs without being detected. At the top of the stairs, you come to a large (40' x 40') chamber in which several hobgoblins and their captains are lounging and relaxing. Who is behind you? Do you enter the chamber?
Taxidea will have Thor stay down by the river and sneak up the stairs behind Orion. (Stealth check: 14 - in game log).

Orion is focused on the stairway pointed out by Svelta. He is keeping a careful eye out for any intruders.

Okay. Are you all going up the stairs? Or did you want to take a rest?
Prim suggests she casts Mage Armour & take a short rest to regain the spell slot. IIRC she can cast it on 2 others, if they aren't wearing armor, to increase base AC to 13. & get the slots back
Maybe on Thor, if no one else?
Stealth 14 if needed going upstairs.

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Okay. You take a short rest after Prim casts Mage Armor.
Orion, you notice a trickle of water coming from a hole in the wall about twenty feet up from the cavern floor about fifty feet from the stairs.
Ok, Mage Armor on Prim and Thor. "Who's a magically armored wolfie? You are!"
Orion walks closer to the the spot where the trickle of water is coming from the wall. He investigates: 2
Orion, the first thing you notice is the smell of ammonia. Also, you notice a sickly green algal-like slime around the trickle.
Orion says to the group, "This seems like the run-off from a hobgoblin pissoire, unless I miss my guess. We should be prepared for battle when we go up those stairs."
Taxidea cracks his knuckles. "Oh yeah...always..."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
"We still don't to draw attention to ourselves. Maybe the stealthy types should lead to scout & we try to silence the guards quickly and quietly."
Orion says, " I will see what I can see from the top of the stairs." He carefully moves up the stairs: Stealth check: 22
Perception check: 22
Orion, you make it to the top of the stairs without being detected. At the top of the stairs, you come to a large (40' x 40') chamber in which several hobgoblins and their captains are lounging and relaxing. Who is behind you? Do you enter the chamber?
Without entering the chamber, Orion signals to Taxidea to be quiet and wait for Prim or Oskar to get close enough to support us.
Taxidea, where is Thor? Is he climbing the stairs, too, or staying down by the river?
Taxidea will have Thor stay down by the river and sneak up the stairs behind Orion. (Stealth check: 14 - in game log).
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Prim will follow Orion, trusting him to use a help action for her stealth, like not motioning for her to peep until they're not looking.
