If nothing comes towards gremryl says
"See boys! Nothing yet eh! Gougy and I will take the lead. Be ready though boys.. "
Gremryl will instruct gougy to go.first and sniff and listen for danger and alert us if something is gonna pop off. (Keen sense of smell and hear stat) he will follow
The group advances towards the cavern, with Gougy leading the pack, and using his keen sense of smell. Just before the cavern opening, Gougy stops. Sniffing the ground and the air...or sensing the vibrations of the oddly still air here. The Faerzress is slightly thicker, you notice. Gougy must notice it too. And more importantly, it would appear that he’s also feeling immense precaution should be taken up ahead. The feeling of dread permeates through everyone’s mind and bodies as if many adventurers drew their last breaths here and indeed you look about you as the bones of different Underdark races lay strewn about. Into the caverns you’re able to see into the cavern. Piles of bones that perhaps haven’t been cleared out yet heap high. Cocooned meals hang from parts of the ceiling, or rather you would assume. From just before entering the cavern itself, you are unable to see how far up the ceiling may go. From your vantage point just inside the tunnel, the most compelling reason thus far to enter into sure danger is the now visible, medium-sized, gold-inlaid chest. It sits towards the back wall.

Holding up his gauntleted fist in the adbarrian term of halt he whispers "hold up lads... while there be gold in there thar cave.. seems too inviting.. be careful lads..me dwarven senses be tugging me beard something fierce..."
Dwarven perception checking see if I can see or sense the direction of the threat. Hell walk forward to stand next to gougy and survey
Now that they are inside the cavern, Rowland and Leon do their light spell and arrow fire trick to the last location Rowland felt the vibrations from the web.
Gremryl’s sense of perception confirms to him what he had suspected...there are giant spiders laying in wait for them! Since he can’t see them, he suspects that they’re hiding...laying in patient wait for their prey to come to them.
The light from Rowland’s arrow once again, illuminates the cavern as it enters. Clanging against the cavern wall, then being sniffed out by something from above that covers the light source!
The gold-inlaid wooden chest sits at the back wall of the cavern.
“I am getting sick of this. We are in the shit now. Pops you know that is a trap. What do you think brought all these other fools to their deaths. Dawnbringer let’s illuminate this evil.”
Elon activates Dawnbringer and illuminated her to her full brightness
Hearing Leon's words and seeing Dawnbringer he feels slightly abashed.. but what's done is done. These spiders have been feasting for too long and there be an evil about this place..
"Aye Leon, I be knowing it's a trap. But aside from the chest theres an evil to this place that is to be dealt with lad. As a young dwarf I was taught, when evil pops its orc face up you smash it down, lest it grow stronger.. and judging by these bones this evil is thinking its strong. Like my Pa said in the forges 'the metals hot now, best to be swinging. "
Watch me back boys, I'll draw them out, be ready. Sound like a plan?
To himself Gremryl says a quick prayer "Mighty Moradin, bless us as we enter this battle. May our arrows fly true, strikes deadly and our Will Iron. In your light I walk, and with your Might I fight!" Ending in a growl... with a look at his companions he steals himself. This is gonna hurt.
"C'mon gougy boy.. " he will walk towards the cavern. (Bless is still active from leon)
Hey ye big ugly spiders where ye be eh? A nice dwarven snack here for ya. He will walk in about 10 feet and bang his shield with his lit Mace. Actions still ready
From the shadows a meat snack flies towards Grem. I want to hit his awaiting open hand.
Dex check: 17
I rolled with advantage because I'm stealthed. if not the lower roll was a 9 (+4=13).
Like an old hand at this trick grem will try to expertly catch the beef jerky
17 DeX to catch it
"Just like old times!" Catching the snack and eating half and tossing the other time gougy
(DM Note: Not sure how being stealthed provides an advantage to throwing a meat snack at a particular spot, though...lol)
Leon casts bless on Rowland, Grem and Elmo. Leon back 20 feet away from the entrance of the cavern
Rowland moves back from the entrance as far as he can and remain a clear shot at the opening in case an enemy appears.
Rowland holds his attack for the mentioned trigger
"Be ready Gougy ol boy.. I think something may be coming and coming soon! When I attack be you do to! "
Gougy will hold his action and attack when gremryl does

18 gougys perception roll
Telepathically to Dawnbringer
“Are you sensing anything my light?”
Rowland moves forward and maintains eyes on Grem and googs to fire if anything attacks.
Elmo slowly moves forward

Rowland readies an arrow.
“Let’s us not go quietly into this darkness. Give em hell Grem”
Leon gets behind Grem
”You know I am with you old man.”

Dawnbringer - “I thirst for battle.” She says exuding confidence with her words.
