Throgg is enjoying the trip with the intoxicating aromas. He will try to grab a few fruits as they pass to see if it tastes as good here as it looks and smells.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eclipse takes in the passing foliage with a frown, much preferring city streets to thick woods. ‘Too many hiding places and not a tavern in sight.’ He is thinking about taverns and a fine glass of wine while walking in a rather paranoid state of mind, his eyes slipping left and right, nose filtering the breeze for anything non-jungley on it.

(18 acrobatics to try grabbing fruits)
Throgg is able grab 6 mango like fruits dangling close to the trail
As you are moving through the bush, Thagal notices something that seems off and just as he was about the mention it, Lagazara issues a quiet, hissing warning
” theresss something off about that tree where the trail bendsss.”
Zerk attempts to slip into the bushes to circumvent the trail and explore the tree from a different angle, but trips over some vines and has to struggle to free himself, making much too much noise for anyones comfort. He gets closer to the tree, but doesnt see anything out of the ordinary and then the sound of rope being pulled taught and the brush below the tree erupts upwards in a flash
Zerk dive rolls out of the way just as the large snare snaps closed and is drawn towards the trees upper limbs. A narrow miss. zerk will say, “ we better keep a close eye out for more traps, i spotted this one right away and rendered it safe”
“Good thing you jumped out of that trap or you’d be stuck up there! Although I don’t think some plant traps would hold Throgg”, he says brandishing his sharp claws.
Eclipse watched the trap spring with an arched brow, his daydreams of a fine bottle of Merlot he’d “borrowed” from his adoptive family’s basement interrupted by the twanging rope and swooshing foliage. I hate traps, he thinks, and tries to memorize the exact species of tree and any identifying features of the spot the trap was set. People are lazy. If they set one trap here, the next one will likely be the same idea recycled elsewhere.
“All right, lady and gentlemen. Enough excitement. Let’s keep an eye out for similar entrapments. Onward,” he urges, attempting to take his own advice and examine their surroundings with renewed care.
You all move forward on the trail and reach the base of the mountain where the caves are located. You can see on the ground huge blood spots, but not the corpses mentioned by the redshirts. You can see there are 6 cave openings in no particular pattern, but all of them are exactly the same diameter and cut cleanly into the rock.
“I like the look of these caves not at all,” Eclipse says. Frowning at the punctured cliff face, he turns to answer Throgg. “Just a thought… but if your drill has only one bit, then it is no effort at all to make every hole of the same size.”
Eclipse would like to move, stealthily, to a place behind cover that would allow his darkvision to see clearly into the caves. Is there such place?
"If the caves are small I could help! I could fit into anything you know!" The bard seemed to really want to help out as they looked at the caves- and although they might seem scary to others, caves where like a natural habitat to kobolds.

The jungle trees are available for cover. You are able see a little farther down into cave 1 ( about 40’) than the others, they go deep into the mountain and are very dark. The tunnels seem to turn off the straight fairly quickly and cave 1 seems to head to the left after 40’.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The caves are all just shy of 6’, at least at the forward portions. Zerk:
” its like a game of cave roulette, which one should we try first? Looks like quite the murder scene in front of the lower cave. The redshirts said there was some bodies, where did they go?” He says, while looking around.

Kel would still be riding inside of Throgg's bag, he would peek his head out to look around, what had happened?

( the dried blood patch is in front of cave 1)
“How’d they manage to get all the caves to be exactly the same? That’s impressive but also somewhat pointless.”

“Throgg also fit into small places. Throgg body can squish well. Will wait for cat-man Eclipse before going into dark hole.”
