Shiv
"I will go first" Shiv would kaw as he moves to the front of the group and begins heading into the cave. Pausing for just a moment, he would turn back and say "I will say *Wolf howl sound* If I get into trouble" Before continuing towards the hushed whispers, hoping to identify their source.
As Shiv makes his way to the front of the group he can see that the stream now curves around a corner from where the group are before getting darker. He takes a few steps ahead of the group and listens closely. He can make out two voices but can’t understand the language or tell where about they are.
One voice whispers “Thaw od ew evah ot peek chtaw rof ereh? T’nia reven dah ot od sith erofeb” Another voice replies “S’ti tahw Gralk stnaw. Syas et sevlow evah depacse dna os ew deen ot peek chtaw” The first voice sounds slightly disheartened as it says “Tub enoyreve esle si gnitteg ydaer ot tae taht lat klof. Ll’ew ylno evah sparcs yb et emit er’ew dehsinif”
Zack and Fenrir go to the westerly side of the tunnel. Zack sees Gribz nod his head towards Zack but is unclear of the reason, although he may have a sneaking suspicion. As he’s on that side of the stream and keeping alert, he notices a small alcove with broken rocks and rough terrain on the floor to his left.
OOC: Is shiv supposed to know what was being said? Is that common but typed with an accent or is that goblin or undercommon. Just wondering because I have no clue what it is... but with Shiv's ability to repeat anything he hears, he can go back and repeat it to his companions and see if they know...
(OOC - It’s goblin and that is what Shiv hears. I did wonder if you’d mimic what you heard to the rest of the group)
Shiv steps back and mimics what he heard.
Spoiler for those that speak goblin:
One voice whispers “What do we have to keep watch for here? Ain’t never had to do this before” Another voice replies “It’s what Klarg wants. Says the wolves have escaped and so we need to keep a good watch” The first voice sounds slightly disheartened as it says “But everyone else is getting ready to eat that tall folk. We’ll only have scraps by the time we’re finished”
"Shit, it sounds like they're planning on eating Sildar soon. We need to move. Shiv, scout ahead. Zack and I will be right behind you. Chad and the ladies have our backs. Maybe our surprise attack will stall them a bit. That one Goblin said to keep following the river; it's as good a plan as any right now." Gribz will then follow behind Shiv with his light crossbow drawn.
The kenku would pause tapping his finger to his beak "we should *makes throat slitting motion* the two guards quietly... then move down the river.." He would mention in a very gruff voice as his head twitches and he looks between his companions. "We don't want them to alert the others if we screw this up" He would say as he draws his short swords.
(OOC: So Shiv is suggesting that we kill those two keeping watch because he isn't sure that everyone is going to be able to sneak past without them alerting the others. he would rather surprise them then have them surprise us if they spot one of us moving past. If you want me to keep pushing forward however I can do that but think it would take more time)
Gribz will say to Shiv "You have any ranged weapons? I could go for the one on the left, you go right. Or if you prefer up close and personal, you choose your target and I'll drop the other with my crossbow."
At the mention of a ranged weapon, the kenku would tuck one of the shortswords back into his leather belt and pull out a dagger. Flipping it in his hand, he would hold it by the blade and shrug his shoulder before putting it back away and drawing the short sword once more. "I stab" He would say with a wink.
(OOC: I was going to see what Kyle says before I sneak up and try to stab one.)
Zack wasn't known for his stealthiness... Not so much because he lacked it, but his metal armor and weapons weren't as subtle as some of the others. He would hang back, continuing to hold his, and Fenrirs actions. Waiting to see how this played out. However as he saw the tiny alcove, he considered climbing it but.. right now splitting from the group would only be a detriment to the rest of the group he was willing to protect.. and the wolf, likely couldn't follow.

Shiv
Shiv would nod to the goblin before slinking away into the shadows as he attempts to sneak up behind the farther of the two goblins, crouching low and ducking behind any large rocks or ridges in the walls of the cave.
Stealth: 14
Assuming the goblins to not notice him as he approaches, Shiv would leap from behind a nearby rock, attempting to drive his shortswords down into the shoulders of the goblin from behind!
Attack: 18 Damage: 5 Bonus Attack: 19 Damage: 5 Sneak attack damage if either attack hits 1
(OOC: This was under the assumption that it would be a surprise, here is my initiative if needed. 14)

Gribz
Gribz blinks and suddenly the Kenku is gone, already submerged in the shadows of the cave. Gribz will ready his crossbow and peek around the corner of the cave wall, attempting to get a look at the two Goblins keeping watch. Once Shiv makes his move, Gribz will attack the remaining Goblin with his crossbow.
(OOC: So I took some time and tried to draw a picture of Shiv. If you are interested you can check it out below.)
I used Paint 3D on my lunch breaks at work since joining this game. I am not a professional by any means but think it looks pretty cool. Hope you like it.
As the darkness envelopes Shiv as he sneaks further forward towards where the voices had come from ready to attack his eyes begin to adjust slightly to the darkness and he can just about make out two figures stood on a rickety bridge about 10ft above the stream.
Neither of the figures seem to notice Shiv as he sneaks up. Shiv can’t seem to make out a way up on to the bridge without passing underneath it
(OOC - Shiv can try and get past the goblins and roll an acrobatics/Athletics check to try and climb up before attacking. Just a note, it is dark and so without light, attacks for non darkvision characters will be done with disadvantage. I’m happy to take 21 as your attack roll for your first attack if you roll 2 dice for your bonus attack if you do wish to get up on the bridge for melee)

OOC:
Nice, looks pretty good! Maybe you can draw Gribz some time? :P
Shiv waits until the goblins backs are turned, unable to make out any distinct words as they continue to talk but he is so focused on his task at hand. He makes it to the small section that appears climbable, places his hands in a couple of pockets in the rock and begins his ascent. One step, two step. On his third step his foot touches on an unusually wet bit of rock and he looses his footing, with a slip and a slight tumble, Shiv drops off the rock face with a splash as his feet hit the stream below. The goblins now turn to see where the noise came from. The group hidden around the corner all hear a splash.
(OOC - Gribz can either take that shot as part of a surprise round or hold fire)
(OoC for Shiv. Bold names are still to go. Don’t worry about initiative order as everyone is grouped. Bold for still up, underlined means down, dying or dead.
Shiv is going to quickly shake the water from his face and feathers before drawing a dagger and throwing it at the closer goblin on the bridge (the one at M8) before quickly attempting to scurry up the cave wall once more.
Throwing dagger Attack: 16 Damage: 9 - made with disadvantage from darkness I assume Acrobatics to scale the wall... second attempt 17
