Theldrin takes a moment to peer down the tunnel to the east to see if he spots anything, but quickly turns his attention back towards the way the party came. "We should make haste..."  he says quietly, watching to see if Xanrym is able to close the door.

Avery will help move the gnome

"The quicker we vanish, the better," says Coriana.

Khessa, carrying in her arms the gnome who can't walk, follows the familiar branch without hesitation: "Come on, over here, friends. This is not the time to explore unknown paths."

You all head out into the hallway, Xanrym closing the door behind you and Theldrin looking down the path to the east, seeing nothing. Remind me again how you light your way and your marching order now you have the gnomes?

Xanrym currently has Darkvision out to 150-ft, which should last for the rest of the day. Thanks, Syllen!  (I've added it under the Senses on his character sheet.)

But once the fight started in Ellesarwa's room, we weren't worried about spoiling our Stealth with light, so I think that both Theldrin and Khessa are openly using Light now on our way back to the tannery. 

and your marching order now you have the gnomes?

(OOC: Hm.  I'm not sure whether whether we ever finalized a "default" marching order.  Since Avery was taking rear guard earlier, and the secret tunnel looks like it's at least 10-ft wide, I'll just suggest this:)

• Xanrym
  (scouting about 60-ft ahead of the others in the darkness)
• Coriana & Khessa + gnome (if Khessa is carrying the gnome, or if there's room for all three)
• 2 gnomes
• Syllen & Theldrin
• Avery

If the group wants to hurry, I'm not sure whether Xanrym can realistically use Stealth.  But if everyone wants to slow down and move quietly (moving at 2/3 speed), or if the group must move at a "slow pace" because Khessa has to carry the gnome, I'll just put add a stealth check here so that you have it.

Stealth: 22 (advantage from Cloak of Elvenkind, and remember that the cloak imposes disadvantage on perception checks made to spot Xanrym)

(OOC: And, assuming that everyone is OK with that marching order, I guess I should roll for Xanrym's perception since he'll be out in front.)

Perception: 13

Coriana is fine with the order, and is ambivalent about whether we slow down for stealth.

Theldrin is more concerned with leaving the scene quickly than being stealthy, and would likely have Light cast on his staff unless anyone objects.  Probably once we get near the exit to the tannery, we could hide our lights and let Xanrym scout.

(OOC: marching order is fine)

Avery will cover their withdraw from his position in the rear.
