Kora takes the stone, and nods. "Got it, Sarge." Turning to the others, she says, "Right, Greywind. Sylrie, that's a good idea, you're first with your skill in the dark. Don't take anything on, though. Here..." she blinks, and then speaks in Sylrie's head. << This way we can stay in touch, but keep silent. >> "If you see anything dangerous, get back, we'll make a hole for you."
"I'll go next, but I want Johnothon with me. Aria and Kash next, and Percy, I'd like you to protect our rear. It may just be Sarge and the LT behind us now, but if there are any turns to this cave system, I'll be happier with you defending us from sneaks."
"Anyone got thoughts to add?"

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Aria starts to shake her head, then hesitates. "If you find me an animal from the cave system, I can ask them about the general layout down below and see if there are any threats," she offers. "The information will be of limited value, since most animals perceive the world very differently from us, but it may at least give us an idea of what sort of threats are below."
Aria nods at Johnathon. "My Mark and training give me a connection as well," she explains softly. "Of course, if you all already have an established system for this kind of thing, I don't want to impose. It was merely an offer."
Kora glances between Johnothon and Aria. “It is not a matter of system, both of you feel free to squeeze all the vermin we find in here for information. I want you with your bow behind me, Aria, to cover us, and him next to me ready to shift into some sort of behemoth cave bear, to attract all the attention.” She smiles.
Sylrie chuckles at Kash's making Buttons talk, it caught him off guard and he regained his composure quickly. He then began to scout ahead, delving once more into the cave system.
Sylrie moves into the darkness of the cave and walks towards the light at the end of the tunnel, keeping to the shadows and scouting the terrain.
Sylrie:
As you turn the corner you see a dimly lit corridor of worked stone that goes 60 feet towards what appears to be a door, and turns towards the north down a longer and even more dimly lit passage that seems to open to a room about 30 feet away, with the hallway extending further still into the darkness.
Stealth check please, and also Perception as you stalk forward towards the opening.

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Kora will keep within 30' of Sylrie for the telepathic link. Also, she needs light. As we set off she suggests, "Hey Kash, can you have your magic hand carry a torch? Keep it to the back though, we don't want to blind Sylrie's dark sight."

Aria nods and moves in her assigned position, bow out and arrow nocked. She also glances around to see if she can spot any animals to squeeze for information as instructed.
She makes sure Sivi is quiet and still on her shoulder.

The floor here is also worked, but it does show signs of recent wear. Mud can be seen leading down both paths. Small specks of it, not large clumps. The footprints that are made from the footprints look animal-like, with three front claws and one back one. Like some sort of large lizard. In the distance, to the North, you can hear a humming noise.
Which way would you like to go investigate?

<<We have two paths, one leading to a Door, and the other to a room. However there is muddy footprints, some sort of large lizard if I had to guess. Also a strange humming. The door is closed, I am going to check the hallway towards the room first.>>
Sylrie turns toward the hallway leading to the room and begins making his way down it slowly. Now that he knows something has moved through here recently he is extra cautious to try and keep his footfalls quiet. He begins looking at the walls, ceiling, and floors as well for any signs of blood, mud, or any bits of a creature that may have been taken off by a trap or other creature in the vicinity.
Kora takes the stone, and nods. "Got it, Sarge." Turning to the others, she says, "Right, Greywind. Sylrie, that's a good idea, you're first with your skill in the dark.
