"Well, they spotted the frog... I don't think they'll notice that we're here, since they probably don't know about magic frogs, but it's still useful to be more careful on the next rooms." Leoneiros takes a look at the path the frog took, and is surprised with the appearance of a tabaxi before them.
"Oh, hello there" He recomposes again and looks at Rin, before respoding. "I think the others could explain better than me, but it's a friend of theirs that they want to save, they had to deliver something to the guy, and apparently the goblins captured him... My name's Leoneiros, good to meet you."
Rin looks at Delta with his ears back, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," then addresses the rest of the group, "Would you like a hand rescuing your friend? I was just out exploring the forest when I came across the cave entrance. I can never resist a good cave!"
"I'm sorry, how exactly did you get here?" says Anton. "Don't get me wrong, we can use all the help we can get, especially since members of our party seem to keep running off, but it's a bit ... unexpected to run into a talking cat in a goblin cave. Sorry, what is it your race is called?"
Rin looks at Anton, "Oh, how did i get in here? Well, Lliira, you see, Lliira, she guides my steps. Just look here..."Rin pulls a dagger from his belt, "On one of my journeys she took me deep into a cavern, not unlike this one, where i found this. Its amazing, is it not?"
He turns the dagger over in his hand to show everyone. Its actually a shard of a broken blade with one end wrapped in worn leather to serve as a grip. Like the rest of his gear, its seen some wear but is very clean,"But that's a story for another time," He sheaths the blade as continues, "No, this cave, I came to this cave while traveling into Phandelin when I took a short trip off the road to look at the most beautiful tree. I came across a path that looked to be recently tread, and I could feel Lliira urging me to follow it! So I did, she never steers me wrong. The path ended at the entrance to this cave, how fortuitous!"
Rin's emerald eyes look excitedly at Anton, and then Delta, and then Anton again, "So, I'm with you, yes?"
"Liira, huh?" Anton says, raising one eyebrow skeptically. "Yeah, I guess you may as well travel with us, just as long as you keep that dagger pointed at the goblins. Deal?"
"Now, about that big chamber. Your frog saw three goblins in there, huh? Of course, knowing goblins, if there are three you can see there are probably twice that hiding in the shadows. We should be cautious, but we're not going to get Gundren back standing here. Should we head in there? Anybody have anything else they want to do first?"
DM Note: On the upside, at least you save everyone else from rolling stealth ;p
OoC: Hah, yup. Was going to ask with all the party shuffling, since we have a relatively stealthy party otherwise, if I could retool Anton into a dex-based fighter so he's not constantly ruining the group's ambush chances, but with a life cleric joining soon there's probably no point, since they will also presumably be wearing clunky armor.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As you come past the waterfall you almost run into the goblin who was chasing Delta. As he yells, two more goblins sitting beside a fire jump up to see the commotion. One of the two immediately turns and starts to run to the exit at the South. You also see a crudely tied up dwarf lying inconcious near the fire beside a make shift spit. Had you entered 5 minutes later he would have been dinner.
Initiative:
Rin: 6
Leoneiros: 7
Anton: 15
Delta: 13
Gobbies: 7
The Goblins were so distracted by the Anton, Delta, and Leo running into their friend that they did not see Rin. Rin has advantage in the first round.
Delta jumps a bit in surprise as she is welcomed back by this new voice.

Still looking? Here's a cleric I've never played.

“Ummm...” Delta looks at Anton with a shrug.

"Deal!" Rin says as he pull his spear off his back.
The shadows around Rin darken as powder blue frost rimes his armor. He casts Armor of Agathys
Active Effects: Armor of Agathys
"Alright. It's probably worth trying to be subtle, even though I seem to have a hard time being quiet," says Anton.
Stealth: 11

Rin crouches low and follows Anton

OoC: My first roll ain't bad, huzzah!

OoC: Since everyone else is rolling
Stealth: 8
OoC: Geez. 3 nines. Wow.
I was also wondering if I could make a check to see if Delta knows anything about Lliira.
Sure, give me a religion check. I'll proceed narrating the next room after the Lliira check
Religion: 6
OoC: These have not been good rolls
You remember a little about Lliira but not much more than she was one of the deities who perished in the spellplague
