Flax nods slowly and turns to face again into the dark ahead and presses forward.

You press on through the darkness, continuing down the fairly straight corridor.

Can I get a marching order? Ie, you have taken one of the following positions: Rear guard, Squishy Middle, Tanky Front, or Sneaky Scouting.

(Flax tries to take point, Tanky Front)

Beshlog can bring up the rear in case anything tries to attack us from behind

That is Flax in front and Beshlog in the rear. What about Kordia, Ember, and Artan?

Salastor takes up a position right behind Flax, solidly in the Squishy Middle.

"Where do you want the Fireballs to come from?  I'm good with front, rear or middle.  Only reason I didn't say scout is I don't have darkvision.  But if you're OK with a scout with a torch, I'm game.  But if I say "DUCK!", better duck fast."

Kordia will ghost beside Ember and the rest of the 'squishy middle'... with the option to sidestep into the dark if necessary.

Kordia also does not wish to screw up anyone's darkvision so she will refrain from Dancing Lights until such time as good light is called for.

"How many here NEED a light source because they weren't birthed by a drow or night stalker?   Being 'dark blind' might change the march order a little?  Or at least leading/following distances?"

"As you know, I see fine in the dark. Not as well a you, sure. But well." The large cat-man says as he marches forward.

Then we have

• Tanky Front: Flax
• Squishy Middle: Ember, Kordia, Salastor
• Rear Guard: Beshlog

Where does Artan want to be?

Kordia is getting a feeling about this place;  this group; this moment.

"Just to make things easier while we creep about in the dark - Flax, Beshlog, and Ember - this might help or might not but, let's hope it helps."  Kordia looks at each with a focus and intent as she establishes mental links with the those named.  

Psionic Power: Psychic Whispers

As an action, choose up to 3 creatures you can see, and then roll one Psionic Energy die (1d8). For a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the chosen creatures can speak telepathically with you, and you can speak telepathically with them, as long as you are within 1 mile. You and the creature don’t need to speak a common language to understand each other.

The first time you use this power after each long rest, you don’t expend the Psionic Energy die. All other times you use the power, you expend the die.

>> game log roll:    5 hours

 (( OOC: sorry, I don't know the tag for this kind of popup ))

Sorry for the delay, was traveling home from vacation

Does Ember, Flax, & Beshlog accept Kordia's psychic connection?

Salastor, unaware of the psionic link being formed, looks confusedly at Kordia, then shrugs. He motions for the party to continue traveling down the tunnel. "Come on. We should keep moving. No telling what lurks down here"

Yes, Beshlog will accept whatever help he can get at the moment.

"This is wierd, but SO COOL!" Ember says, accepting the telepathic link.

Now, you can travel on

Everyone advances forward, Flax in the lead, his keen hunter's eyes searching the shadows of the tunnels for any kind of threats. Beshlog, meanwhile, draws his axe, wary of any attack from behind, and can't help but glance behind him more than is probably neccessary. He can't help it, this place is creepy. As you descend deeper into the bowels of the dungeon, you become unsettled. Scurrying can be heard in the darkness, but when you turn to look there is nothing there. The stink of burning and blood hangs in the air, overpowering all other scents. 

Can I get everyone to roll Perception checks?

(Can we help each other so at least one of us gets advantage on the Perception check?  I mean, several of us are telepathically linked so...)

Perception:  19

2nd roll if we have advantage: 27

Beshlog's Perception: 16 (rolled in game log)

Flax perception 16

Still waiting on Perception checks from Kordia and Artan

Kordia Perception: 18

Artan can see everything (in the limited area of light we have), and can possibly even smell beyond the burning and blood. Perception 28 (Nat 20!)
