After a few seconds you here the footsteps of the goblin, chasing it's "food". It comes out of the side passage on the west side of the stream. As it does so, Delta moves to try and stay hidden, but kicks a pile of loose rocks with her foot. The goblin easily tracks the noise and, spotting her, and pauses for a split second, alarmed. (He is roughly 40 feet away)
Leoneiros steps closer, but doesn't actually give a full dash into the goblin, stoping 10ft. far from it, somewhere next to Anton, and gets ready to attack with his Quarterstaff in case the goblin steps inside his reach.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The goblin starts to howl as River's whip grabs him and hauls him across the cave. It is quickly silenced by Anton's well timed thrust, with a week quarterstaff to his lifeless head for good measure
"You don't need to give anything to me, I'm not even used to expending money, you can have it." He holds his quarterstaff on the goblin for one more second, it was a shame he didn't get to fight that little boy, there might be other times for that later. "So we're going deeper in? I really just want to have a proper fight and see where this little story goes to, you four there seemed to be having fun working together."
Past the rough climb/passage on the left and the bridge, Laiken sees the stream and passage pastpanother, tidier passage on the right, and a large open area with multiple goblin sized creatures in it
DM note: The stream is about 2 feet deep with a current (the passage you are on goes uphill). 25 more feet would take Laiken into the large room/passage.
"So the goblins are to that side? I'm sure we could pay them a visit. Look, where there is guards, there is something to guard, I believe your friend might be in that direction.." Leoneiros tells the rest of the group, except Delta, but he can tell her that when her senses return.

Laiken hops into the passage, and sees a cavern is half filled with two large pools of water. A narrow waterfall high in the eastern wall feeds the pool, which drains out the western end of the chamber to form the stream that flows out of the cave mouth below. Low fieldstone walls serve as dams holding the water in. A wide exit stands to the south, while two smaller passages lead west. The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cavern, making it difficult to hear. Inside the cave are 3 bored, hungry, but alert, goblins.
The goblin closes to the where Laiken came in spots the frog, and sensing a tasty meal tries to hit it with an arrow.

"Hi, I'm Rin," a voice calls out excitedly from the shadows. "You guys made quick work of that goblin! What are you doing in this exciting cave??"
Rin is a Tabaxi clad in worn leather armor, including boots but not gloves. The armor is pock marked with little cuts and scrapes, but otherwise very clean. He is a slender 5'9", with light grey fur marked with black spots. White fur lines his the underside of his hands, face, and tail.
Rin has his hands outstretched in a non-threatening manner with his long spear strapped to his back.

”Sorry,” Delta quietly apologizes with a sheepish grin. “Do you think they heard us?”
River admires her handiwork and agrees they should go deeper.
"I don't "*think* they heard us?"
Delta summons Laiken and will once again send him ahead down the side of the stream for about 50 ft to see what’s down there.

Delta is telling the whole group this as she sees it.
Can Laiken go about 25 ft into the neater passage?
OoC: I was also curious about how deep the stream is.

Ok. Laiken goes in just enough to get a better look at those in the room.

The cave as you have seen it so far:
“Gosh dammit,” Delta whispers and dismisses Laiken, returning her senses to herself. Laiken reappears on Delta’s shoulder.
