As Irina safely reaches the ledge, she is going to walk to the campfire and inspect the area to look for any clues or items left by the previous users of said campfire.

"I guess it's are turn Hunho If you think you can make it down with out the safety line untie it and throw it down to us. I'm going to make my way down."
Athletics: 14
Alexander begins to males his way down.
ooc: good thing I have a +5 in Athletics, I would hate to fall.
“Spirit. In every language in all the Realms, surface and Underdark, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience and the poor man's armor. It cannot be broken and it cannot be taken away.”
Oswald unties the rope from his waist and signals up to Alex and Hunhow to begin their descent. Dusting off his hands he turns to the group "Like my grandmother always used to say, a successful descent is one you walk away from."

OOC i was just rereading and sort of assumed and initiative when I went down the rope to help Blaze. and note Kai, she saw human and goblin prints at the bottom leading off.
Opal will dust herself off, resecure her own rope and watch for any other surprises. perception15 Her passive perception is 11
The old ring of stones contains (and is covered by) the accumulated ash of hundreds of fires, though no fires have been lit here for a few years. The ashes hide rough-hewn spear tips of goblin manufacture and small animal bones from past meals.
The tracks you're interested in are definitely more recent, no more than a month old.

Kai explains his findings, and takes point as he follows (and investigates) the tracks.
Oswald will fall in with the group moving down the stairs. Noting the goblin warnings at the top of the ravine and the broken spear tips, he keeps his shortbow out in front of him with an arrow nocked but not drawn.

Alexander will follow the rest of the group further down into the ravine. He stays ready to draw his sword in case they run into the goblins that left the warning.

(To help visualize why the Citadel is in darkness.)
As you head down to the second and third landing, those of you with darkvision are able to get sight of the citadel:
At the edge of sight, a fortress top emerges from the darkness. The subterranean citadel, though impressive, seems long forgotten, if the lightless windows, cracked crenellations, and leaning towers are any indication. All is quiet, though a cold breeze blows up from below, bringing with it the scent of dust and a faint trace of rot.
Blaze gasps and smiles widely at the sight of this magnificent fortress. The anticipation of getting to go inside, maybe fight some things, and even get some cool stuff. It’s all so exciting! Barely able to make any sentences, “I-I can’t believe it! I’m so excited! When are we going to go in guys?” Blaze starts saying how excited he is very quietly in Elvish.

Oswald is similarly awestruck and will pat Blaze on his hip as he passes him, moving closer to the citadel. Making an impressed whistling sound as he takes in the sight, he turns to the others, "This changes everything, to sink the building... Well, I must remember to tell Alston about this."
Oswald will make an investigation check to see if he can figure out how this happened. 13
(Oswald doesn't fall, he only needed a 5 Athletics to climb down.)

[@JoanBaxter From my previous post, Kai rolled a 20 for survival/tracking? What did he find when he examined the site?]

Blaze looks to Ranger Kai, “What is it? Do you see something my friend?”
Blaze begins to walk down the steps, “Welp no use waiting around, let’s delve into this.”
Opal will fall into step behind him.
(passive insight, perception, and investigation are all 11 if it matters)
Irina will follow the others down the steps, making sure she falls into the middle of the marching order.
