As the party heads into the narrow passage you notice above you are sharpened stalactites that shift slightly to the sound of your footsteps.

Stealth is needed for this section

Everyone roll stealth or figure a way to disarm the trap.

Everyone can roll investigation to figure out how the trap works.

Focused on staying calm in the tight space Aisha moves through the passage. But that's all she can focus on in the moment.

Stealth: 8

Investigation: 2 

1 sharp stalactite falls right in front with enough force to embed half of it into the ground.

Before they head up the narrow passageway, Kasbis smiles at Aisha in response to her compliment, and he turns to the rope bridge, using the same mending charm to strengthen the rope bridge again, repairing the frayed sections and rejoining them, securing the bridge.  

He follows behind Duncan and also considers the trap ahead, how they can avoid being speared by the stalactites.  

Stealth : 22

Investigation : 20

Kasbis noticed a cleverly hidden rune among the stalactites.

Dispel magic can disable it.

Kasbis is excited and points to the rune, squatting down.  He points at it and casts dispel magic to disable the trap and hopefully allow them to move forward.  Gaz finds his favorite inner lined pocket in his cloak as they continue.

The rune crumbles and the stalactites remain still.

The party heads on and meets a Y section do you take the western or eastern path

From behind Duncan Aisha looks to the West and can see the narrow passage widen, only seeing that the tunnel going East turns but from where she can see stays narrow. Softly she says, "That way looks good to me." Pointing to the West.

Kasbis nods to Aisha, and if Duncan agrees, he proceeds in that direction.  ”Should I scout ahead?”

"If you feel safe to do so." Duncan says, ready to lead as always, lantern in hand.

If scouting ahead roll stealth and perception

So there is nothing of note

Kasbis quietly moves ahead in front, about 20 feet in front of Duncan and has a look.  

Stealth : 22

Perceptiom : 7

In the next area Kasbis sees Willoughby's body near an open pit. It seems the body was dumped here. There are slash marks as if Willoughby was clawed to death. Nearby is Ellsia's maul. Though there is no sign of Ellesia here.

There is also a shredded  pack with its contents spilled out onto the floor. Rope, lantern, 5 rations, waterskin.

Duncan sighs and moves the body into a corner. If there is any fabric nearby he’ll use it to cover the body, and if not, he’ll use his desert cloak, knowing that another can be purchased later. He then takes the rations and rope, and empties any oil from the lantern into his own, then picking up the maul nods in approval at how well weighted it well before slinging it onto his back, hoping to find its owner. “Whatever is down here will feel the blunt side of this maul before we are done. Let us hope we can find some survivors.” He’s then ready to follow as Kas continues to stealth ahead.

"Thank you for doing that Duncan, even in the worst of times we should give what honor we can to those who have fallen." Aisha says as she slips out of the narrow passage into the slightly larger space she seems to loosen some of the tenseness she had been holding in the small space.

From the southwest the party hears the clack of claws on stone approaching where the party is standing

Do you try to hide or face what comes?

Kasbis will move to where he is out of sight and can peek around the corner, watching for what comes, readying a fireball.  He whispers “Move quickly, out of sight!”

Duncan will duck off to the side, but ready to jump back into the middle should it appear inevitable that the enemies are headed their way.

Aisha also will duck away, listening for any change in the pace of the clacking claws trying to figure out how close they are.
