"As you wish," says the Herr Doktor Professor. "But if you are still within my line of sight, then just give a hand signal so as not to risk even a tiny sound."
Glynquinal replies to Herr Doktor, "That will work as well. Had anyone on the upper level caught that sound, they would have looked this way first. that would have given you and Gruxx a chance to slip by. We'll try it your way."
And once in position will wait for Glenquenal to give the signal. Ian will ready his bow, and an action that if it looks like the huddled lump on the bridge moves or takes notice of Gruxx and HDP, he will let lose loose and arrow of surprise. (Would that give me advantage on the attack??)

The two rogues stealthily move up the main tunnel, aided by the sound of rushing water. They are able to pass under the bridge without alerting the sentry. They can see that it is another goblin. It appears to be awake, but just like the guards outside, it is not paying attention. The sound, which both elves identify as a waterfall, is getting very loud, and they assume it is directly east of their position.
Ian notices another goblin poke its head out of the tunnel on the eastern side of the bridge, look at them from over the edge of the bridge, and then disappear again. They've been spotted!
Glynquinal readying his bow for a shot at the huddled figure on the upper level signals for the other to take whatever action they have prepared. Aiming carefully he draws the bow back and releases.
Short Bow to hit 19
Damage for short bow 5
Having fired once, Glynquinal prepares to fire again drawing another arrow and nocking it.
Once battle is joined, the Herr Doktor Professor will move to M9 with the lantern, shining a light into the cavern and allowing Grux to see what's happening. He draws his rapier as he moves.
If the goblin on the bridge is still alive, he casts Vicious Mockery at it:
If the goblin fails its save, it will take 4 points of damage.
"Fall back to the cave entrance," the Herr Doktor Professor says in Elvish to Glynquinal and Ian. "We could find ourselves cut off from the entrance by the wolves, while the goblins rush us from the north."
Glynquinal's and Ian's arrows sprout from the back of the goblin. It arches backward and lets out a yell, which drowns out Herr Doktor's attempt to mock it viciously. But the bard's verse proves true nonetheless as the goblin falls dead on the bridge. Ian tells Glynquinal that they've been spotted and then motions for Herr Doktor and Gruxx to join the rogues.
Do Herr Doktor and Gruxx join the elves? Does Gruxx "dash" in order to get there quickly?

Glynquinal will motion to Ian to move forward together. taking the right side of the passageway, Glynquinal will stow his short bow, and draw his Short Sword and Dagger. Moving forward slowly looking for more hidden attackers he will advance. Glynquinal will try to advance his position toward the east without drawing notice.

"The rogues are running ahead of us, Gruxx," says the Herr Doktor Professor. "Our reconnaissance-in-force is about to become the schwerpunkt of the attack!"
But realizing the dangers of splitting the party, the Herr Doktor Professor moves forward to N7 to support the advance of his party. He shines the lantern forward, but looks to the cavern (cave?) to the west at L7 using his darkvision, to determine if any dangers will emerge from there.
Glynquinal moves north just a bit just in time to see two goblins knock down a temporary wall surrounding a large pool of water in the cavern ahead. The passage is suddenly filled with a mighty roar, as a huge surge of rushing water pours down from above!
I need each of you to roll either a dexterity save or strength save — your choice.

Glynquinal replies to Herr Doktor, "They know we are here already. We'd better not back off now and give them more time to gather more to greet us."
“Finally! Enough sneakin’ around time to fight!”
Gruxx will draw his glaive and move forward as far as the lantern will let him see.
Ian would have coordinated with Glenquenal to loose third arrows at the same time on the same goblin
Bow to hit 23 (advantage because of surprise, up until that other gobline poked his head, but this first goblin is still unaware of us)
Damage 9
Sneak attack damage 1
To Glenquenal They know we're here.
Ian will motion to The Doc and Gruxx with the wave of a hand to indicate they should join us, and we can move on together.

Gruxx will indeed Dash trying if possible to be in front of Herr Doktor.
