After everyone gets to the other side, Three starts looking around for any side tunnels in the immediate area. she does not find any, and starts following the stream. The stream flows through the center of the cavern, growing somewhat wider and deeper until it reaches the southeast corner, where it forms a smallish pool that is about 20 feet across.

Along the western edge of the cavern is a passageway leading off into another area. This passage has been blocked with a crude plug of mud and wattle.

Along the eastern edge of the pool is a short passage that looks as if it has been blocked up with loose rubble and mud, creating a rough stone wall 10 feet across.

Rivon, tries to look casual as he swims down the stream alongside the party.  He fails.

Once they reach the lake, he dives to find all the cool loot at the bottom.

Perception: 25

Investigation: 17

Taman strides along towards the back of the group. When they reach the small pool he nods as he sees one of the swimmers is diving down to search the bottom. Turning his attention to the two possible exits he would move over and examine them both.

Investigation for west tunnel with plug ... 7 Guidance: 1
Investigation for east tunnel with wall ... 24 Guidance: 3

Three was content at first to watch Rivon swim about in his kid-y pool, but stopped soon noting Taman go over to explore the plugs. Slowly but surely, a wide smile spreads on her face at a thought. "Guys! Psst! Guys! The stinky lizards! I think this area is another one'm watcha-ma-callits!" She would say in excited whispers to everyone not swimming and close at hand. "Remember! With the bear 'n all that. Like when we met -- Oo! I wonder if we'll meet another Thimble too!" With that, Three more actively starts searching the immediate area for any signs of markings or scents further confirming her theory.

Search: 5.
(if Survival would be more appropriate, remove bonus from roll)

Durlan feeling increasingly nervous about the situation will use Divine Sense to attempt to peer beyond the veil of life and death and search for any further undead abominations lurking nearby.

Perception : 20

Thistle also scan the area for anything of interest Perception: 7

Rivon swims down the stream and reaches the lake. As his friends are checking things out above the water, he's checking things out below, looking for any loot he may find. The only "loot" that he finds however are some bones (that have been chewed on) and ragged, decaying, leathers. Taman takes up the rear of the group, and upon reaching the pool, checks out the two tunnels. On the western tunnel he finds that this area was definitely blocked off for a reason, that reason however, he does not know. At the eastern tunnel, he notices that this area has also been blocked of on purpose, but this one is a little sturdier than the western tunnel. Three gets excited about when the group found Thistle (in the hopes of finding another Thistle) that she starts excitedly searching for any signs of the Troglodytes and the bear that was encountered earlier. The smell in here however is so strong with Dead bodies and Troglodyte, that she can't determine any other smells, and any footprints that she might find are just a jumble of tracks that are not distinguishable to be "actual" tracks. Durlan concentrates on the immediate area to see if there are any more undead creatures lurking nearby, however does not sense any in the immediate area. Thistle also looks around to see if there is anything of interest nearby, but alas, finds nothing interesting, or exciting (except for watching Three look around for signs of troglodytes).

"Both of these tunnels were blocked off on purpose." Taman says with a nod to them both. "That one though seems a bit more fortified than the other one." he nods to the one that seems more well-built. "I'd suggest we see about getting one of them open, and seeing what is on the far side. Any ideas which we should try first though?" He glances to the others for their opinion.

"Uck! It's like they rubbed themselves all over everything." Three complained upon completing her "investigations". "Buuuuut, it does pro-...." She started to say, before fully registering Taman's report. With a new gleam in her eyes after, the chimera immediately pulls out Tom from its makeshift handle and brandishes with a toothy smile. "I'm ready! Let's try the west first! Just a couple of swings of 'ol Tommy boy here, 'n it'll be down in seconds flat! And then -- AND THEN... the real fun begins!" She added gleefully.

Thistle shrugs "We're going to do both so it doesn't really matter which is first. However..." He has long range darkvision so he asks the others to cover the lights for a moment and looks down each passage (unless "blocked off" means completely covered so that there is no way to see). Some guidance please Perception 15

Thistle looks down the tunnel to the west and is not able to see past the obstruction. He then looks to the passage to the east, and see's only stone and mud.

"I mean, yea! But, uh... Mn... Naw, that's a good point actually. I'm going for that one then!" Without missing a beat, Three immediately went over to the western wall, fully intending on smashing her way through using Tom and raw power. If any come up to join her on the maybe property damage, the chimera more than happily makes room for them, and takes turn focusing on one spot at a time to better chip away and eventually break down the wall.

(OOC - I'll assume it'd be a raw strength check to try and break down a wall. 2nd roll below assumes there's help and d4 assumes someone throws in a guidance just before she starts. Ignore them if none apply)

Strength: 24/16 plus 2.

"Doesn't seem to hardly matter since we'll need to investigate either way, but do you think the barricades were built to keep things out or... to keep something in?" Durlan says absentmindedly as he peers at the blockage and Three going to town to remove it.

Durlan looks at the barricade to see if he can tell which side it was built from, the side we're standing on or if it seems to have been built on the opposite side.

Taman does give guidance to Three. He then stands back and lets the stone pieces fall short of his position.

Three walks over to the western tunnel and the mud and wattle obstruction swinging Tom as she goes to get him warmed up. Taman gives Three a few words of encouragement on her way. Three stands by the obstruction and takes a good hefty swing at the door, grinding her feet into the tunnel floor for stability and WHACK!!!

As Three marches through the newly made entryway, and Durlan investigates what's left of the remains. Durlan notices that the blockage was once a crudely crafted door that was built from the inside. Three looks on inside and sees:

The passage opens into a long, low cavern that has three narrow, twisting passages leading off into darkness. Numerous rock columns rise to meet the stone overhead. The air is thick with Troglodyte stench, and the floor is littered with refuse from the creatures' meals and gnawed bones of dubious origin.

Something scrapes and hisses in the dark, and you hear the soft padding of scaly feet on rock.

Taman moves to the newly-made tunnel opening and waits for a report from inside.

"Yep! There in here alright." Three confirms with her face all scrunched up, and even freeing up a hand to pinch her nose. "Can hear'm scrabbling. Definitely not one or two I bet! But... where are they." She adds in more nasally voice, squinting along the ones and even up towards the ceiling searching for signs of the creatures.

Perception: 14(if at disadv. 23).

Once she hears at least some of the others move in to follow, she proceeds on further while hugging the left side(right side on the map) of the cave wall, while circling around the center area searching for any signs of the creatures hidden in the area.

While this was happening, Rivon came back to the shore of the lake, a bit disappointed.  He creeps up behind Three to see what the heck she's up to.

Stealth: 24

Perception: 21

Marius, seeing the wall come down, goes to follow about 10 ft behind Three. He looks around, trying to see what it is that hides in the dark. He readies Eldritch Blast for an unfortunate enemy.

Stealth: 4

(OOC, Who has darkvison?)

(OOC - @Allen: Everyone but Durlan atm, unless Taman decided to cast the Darkvision on him as well)
