Sylric takes the lead, along with the two goblins, who look at the dwarves with hatred and scorn, but go past them quickly after noticing Cormac's warhammer.
They pay Gwyyn no mind, but speed up the pace again when they see the half-elf brandishing his morningstar.
When the group reaches the bridge, the goblins stop right on their tracks, as they see the bodies of three fallen comrades. One of them, sporting a venomous scowl, will say to Sylric in Goblin:
"You will not do this to Plax. If you betray Plax, Plax will cut your tongue".
And then will say to the group, in Common:
"There fools with Klarg, no like Plax. No loyal to Yeemik. Ripper also, stupid wolf."
Whatever happens, Gwyyn is not going to step on the bridge. She’ll stay at the back of the group and when they get to the bridge she’ll try to climb down to the lower level, but not before looking for any danger first.
The stream flows steadily 20 ft below the bridge. The cave walls remain slick with spray. It will take a successful DC 15 athletics check to climb down without falling.
The Aasimar's attempt to find a good foothold is not successful and she ends up skidding down the wall into the stream, falling right on her derriere. She takes 1 point of bludgeoning damage.
The goblins cackle with laughter and Plax says in Common:
"You not beat Klarg like that"
Then they start towards the other end of the bridge and the one you gather is Wrettath says in Common:
"Klarg around corner. You coming and fighting Klarg? No human while Klarg alive"
The goblins scowl at the dwarves and Plax spits on the ground before turning towards the west end and restarting their pace. The group (without Gwyyn who is currently below the bridge but can attempt to climb back or can follow the passage deeper into the cave) cross the bridge, follow the goblins through the tunnel and reach the large cavern with the waterfall on the eastern wall.
Wrettath uses its hand to signal you halt and then points at the stone steps that go up, towards the south end of the cavern. Then it says in Common:
"If you follow steps, you reach Klarg. Pro'lly one or two fool goblins with him, and his nasty wolf. Plax and Wrettath stay here and wait for you".
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The wizard, once again takes the lead, and gingerly starts climbing the steps. He fails to see a spot where stones are loose and ends up causing several pebbles to rush down the stone stairs.
Straightening himself, the wizard stops breathing for a second, and tries to catch any sounds coming from the cavern up ahead that may confirm that the dwellers heard the noise. Plax and Wrettath roll their eyes.
In Common, a booming voice calls to the group:
"Klarg knows fools are out there and is not afraid of petty weak rats! Learn what happens to those who defy the great Klarg; Ripper, time for blood!"
He also yells in Goblin:
"Bugs, you help too! Klarg will have your limbs if you don't prove you are worth something!"
You all hear a terrifying howl coming from the cave in front of you. Seconds later, more howls, not entirely muted by the sound of the waterfall are heard coming from the other parts of the cavern.
Rolling initiative for everyone (to speed up things):
Ripper, the wolf: 19
Klarg: 11
Goblins (seen and unseen): 11
Wolves (unseen): 11
Avier: 5
Cormac: 12
Flint: 23
Gwyyn: 8
Sylric: 10
Current scene: Uneven stone steps that go up 20 feet into what appears to be a dimly lit cavern. Sylric is midway up the steps, which are 10 feet wide. Cormac and Flint are 5 ft from each other, at the bottom of the steps, i.e. 10 feet from Sylric. Avier, Plax and Wrettath are behind the dwarves, and Gwyyn closes the group. She is 20 feet away from the wizard.
Behind you, the falling water is booming, making it hard to listen to others.
"Bah ya fool! I knew we should hav ended the damned things! Ye never try and talk with the things unless they be quivering in their boots!" Cormac yells as he bangs his hammer on his shield and calls out a quick prayer to Moradin.

Plax and Wrettath rush back towards the bridge, but are quickly replaced by two goblins in front of you, at the top of the steps, both with shortbows ready. They let arrows loose at the dwarves below:
G1 attacking Cormac: Attack: 13 Damage: 7
G2 attacking Flint: Attack: 5 Damage: 4
Also, a savage wolf, with a large scar on its right eye comes rushing down and jumps straight at Sylric: Attack: 15 Damage: 7, bringing the elf down and looking frantically at the dwarves below.
From the cavern, the booming voice screams: "Let's see what you can do!"
Everyone is up! Cormac, Avier and Flint first. Then Sylric and Gwyyn.

Athletics:19
(OOC: Was the rope we used to climb up removed?)
Nope, it's on the other end.
(Right right)

In dwarvish to Cormac. "and probably no human with Klarg dead"
As we go past the rope, Flint picks it back up.
After joining more my signature got out of hand so I am now a proud member of the extended signature club!! :)
"Ye be a durned fool wizard." Cormac says in common to Sylric as he passes, before nodding to what Flint said.

Once the group moves safely across the bridge, Gwyyn will move up the passage to rejoin everyone in area 7, the big chamber.
Cormac will move forward slowly bit not with any real stealth as it is rather pointless due to the heavy armor he wears.
Flint follows Cormac, still in dwarvish "Do we kill these two before Klarg or after?"
After joining more my signature got out of hand so I am now a proud member of the extended signature club!! :)
"For now let's be seein how we do against Klarg before we do." Cormac says.
"Shall we?", Sylric says as he begins to creap slowly up the stairs, hugging the right side.
Stealth: 14
I pause just before i am visible to the cavern.
I listen to see how many goblins are with Klarg.
Perception: 7

Cursing loudly, Cormac will run up to the wolf and attempt smash it upside the face with his Warhammer.
Warhammer: Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Then as bonus action he will cast Shield of Faith on himself to bring his ac up to 20.
