Elmo and Gremryl move down the tunnel after shrinking down to fit inside. The both step across a shallow pool of water.
<Elmo and Gremryl - Roll a Con saving throw>
Once they exit the other side, the come to a larger tunnel that goes left and right. There aren't any markings that distinguish one way from the other.
From the entrance of the cavern that Rowland, Mikey and Leon are in, Rowland can see the tunnel diverging into three paths. One that brought them to this location, another that seems to look familiar and marked with a couple crossbow bolts wedged into the tunnel walls, and another that seems to be the source of the sound of running water..
Rowland quietly relays what he sees to Leon and Mikey adding, "Those look like Elmo's crossbow bolts to the south. To the East is the cave filled with water. Should I have a closer look at the water? Or shall we just wait for the others to return?"
Elmo and Gremryl must decide on moving right or left as they exit the smaller tunnel and enter a much larger tunnel, roughly of similar size to where they first entered this tunnel system.
<Right or left gents? First to respond will be the decision.>
Even with a below average survival check, Gremryl does notice various footprints that are clearly not his own. How many and how recent they are, he knows not....which is very strange considering back in Grem's day, he was something of a tracker...
To Mikey and Leon, "Friends it seems as tho the passage with the running water may lead in the same direction as the one Elmo and Grem took. Leon if you're ok with standing guard at the entrance here, Mikey and I will investigate the water to determine if it's passable."
Rowland will pick up several of each type of shrinking and growing shroom and hand some to Mikey and Leon instructing them on their usage. "Just in case we need them."
To Mikey, "Shall we?"
If Mikey's up for it they'll quietly head towards the water passage with Rowland in front keeping an eye out for wandering skeletons as they pass the south passage.
With Leon guarding the entrance to the cavern where Elmo and Gremryl went through the crack in the wall, Rowland and Mikey follow the sound of the water. The tunnel slopes down to the edge of a large pool that fills the cavern ahead. The opposite shore is nearly one hundred feet away, but nothing can be seen beneath the surface of the black water.
Leon sees Rowland moving forward to scout and cast guidance saying a quick prayer to Tymora over Rowland

"My lady I know you can see in the dark very well. Please let me know if you see any threats to us please."

Is it me lad or is it warm in here? He tugs at his armor.
“If Elmo wants us to go a certain way, I say we follow his lead. Hopefully it’s not some sort of trap to rob us...”

"Let me see lad if I can spot some tracks, or make some sense here"
Survival check 7
To look for tracks or foot prints
Gremryl will state "well lad...me instincts say we should be heading left...'
Up ahead of Gremryl and Elmo, there's a shuffling of heavy footsteps...
With Gremryls keen sense of danger he turns to Elmo
"Theres footsteps ahead lad! Be ready! I have a keen sense for this!"

Rowland scans the cavern and looks for any sign of unusual activity and listens for any unusual sounds, asking Mikey to do the same.
