Musashi steps into the cavern, his hand resting firmly on his Maul. He ignores the glint of gold, his eyes instead tracing the jagged lines of the blue quartz and the high, shadowed ceiling.
"Eight legs" he repeats quietly, acknowledging Doc JoJo’s find. "A creature that crawls and clings. It is no dragon, but it shares their greed."
He moves to stand a few paces away from Gail, flanking the exit she is watching, but keeping his back near a solid wall to avoid being flanked from the shadows.
Whispering, "Edmund, stay close to the center. Gail, Scarlett - if this thing has as many legs as the tracks suggest, it will not just come from the front. It will come from the walls or the ceiling."
He looks up toward the dark expanse of the roof, wondering where the invisible Warlock has perched himself.
"The gold is a graveyard" Musashi remarks, gesturing with a nod toward a pile of weapons. "Those blades didn't save their masters. Let's see if ours fare better. Be ready."
"Gail. You and I see the field with the eyes of the vanguard" he whispers, barely louder than the sound a feather makes when falling. "If we find ourselves in the dance of death and you see an opening - a flaw in the enemy's rhythm that I have yet to perceive - do not hesitate to command my strike. In a place of such darkness, two blades guided by one tactical mind are far more lethal than six acting in discord. If you lead the way, my hammer will follow."
OOC comment to @JSenecal
Just a heads-up for combat synergy: Since you’re a Battle Master and I’m a Samurai with a Maul, we can do a nasty combo. If you use Commander's Strike on me, I can use my reaction to hit them with my Maul +2. Because of the Topple mastery, if I hit, the enemy has to make a Con save (DC 17!) or fall Prone. This would give you and the rest of our melee frontline Advantage on all your follow-up attacks!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Doc JoJo (formally) announces to the group in a stage whisper, his findings, "The prints are almost dragon-like, but there is 8 sets of foot prints, not the normal four that a dragon would have. At the moment can't tell if there are 2 sets or a single 8 legged creature."
Would I need a second roll to discern if the foot prints are from two or just one? Assuming survival is the skill for foot prints: 18
If I think it is one creature I try to think of what it could be:
(Almost everyone is melee, right? Prone will be disadvantage for ranged attack rolls, so anything like Sacred Flame with a Save would be best I assume for those of us at range?)

Scarlett likes a good smite or two, but there's ranged options available too.

Gail asks no on in particular, "Does a basilisk have 8 legs?", then continues, "No, if it where a basilisk there would be statues all over the place."
{I did not look up basilisk, I have no idea how many legs they have in D&D, but I remember seeing images of an 8 legged basilisk in real life somewhere...}
Musashi’s grip tightens on his Maul as Scarlett reports the tracks vanishing. He doesn't look at the floor; his eyes are locked on the ceiling thirty feet above.
"It did not vanish, Scarlett. It ascended" Musashi says, his voice low and steady as a rock in a stream. "Gail is right - it's no basilisk. Basilisks are heavy, earth-bound things. Whatever made these tracks is a climbing predator. It is above us, waiting for prey to pass beneath it."
He shifts his stance, bracing his legs. "The quartz is crackling with light, but the shadows between them are deep. Do not let the gold distract you. Watch the heights."
Perception check to scan the ceiling (<cough> <cough> a Behir <cough> <cough>): 18

Divine Sense. I've managed to get the amulet tootip to work, but not Divine Sense. Scarlett is basically checking for Celestials, Fiends, and Undead. For the next 10 minutes or until you have the Incapacitated condition, you know the location of any creature of those types within 60 feet of yourself, and you know its creature type. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the Hallow spell. Probably not going to detect anything, but you never know until you try.
