"Be careful lads, looks like there is something around here that likes to feast on devils and it may still be around"Tibi whispers as he continues to lead the party down the sloping passage on the far right side.
As Tibi moves down the shaft the others who are walking notice that the scab transitions from being soft and spongy to hard as rock. Ahead a 20-foot-wide chamber opens up. You see motion in the room as Lulu suddenly calls to Tibi to stop. Ten small, snarling demons covered in matted gray fur claw and bite a hole into the hard, scabby floor. A demon made of shadow flies over the smaller fiends, screaming at them in Abyssal. They are so busy at their work that they do not see you.
"I...I sense...the presence of Crokek’toeck nearby. That is the demon lord Yeenoghu’s pet. If there are demons ahead the demons are trying to free Crokek’toeck. We need to stop them" Lulu says.
Tibi recognizes the smaller demons as dretches and the demon made of shadow to be a shadow demon.
You get a surprise round to attack if you choose to do so.

Kaelani sends a flash of light streaking towards the shadow demon, then draws his +1 longsword and advances into the fray! (Guiding Bolt at 1st level w/ advantage for surprise: Attack: 28 Damage: 16)
Moses is surprised at the boldness of these strangers, but he isn't one to stand idly by. He raises his staff and prays for guidance on Tibi, Drabash, Kaelani and himself.
In a furious onslaught the Shadow Demon is quickly cut down and you turn your attention to the Dretches and slay 2 of them as well. The remaining Dretches stop digging and move to defend themselves.

2 more Dretch are killed. 3 of the remaining attack but only 1 is able to claw Drabash.
The other 3 let out A 10-foot radius of disgusting green gas that starts to fill the room and Moses, Drabash and Kaelani must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of their next turn. While poisoned in this way, the target can take either an action or a bonus action on its turn, not both, and can't take reactions.
Tbi and Moses are up followed by Drabash and Kaelani again

A moment later the slaughter of the Dretches is complete. Dretches are among the weakest of demons and they were easy to overcome. You have been able to stop them from digging and the shadow demon leading them was unable to leave and report your presence in the scab.
A passage to the right runs down and another runs back to the left at a shallower angle down.
Drabash has a quick look at the body of the shadow demon to see if it was carrying anything interesting and at the area the dretches were digging, then assuming nothing interesting is noticed he follows Tibi.
"Be careful lads, looks like there is something around here that likes to feast on devils and it may still be around" Tibi whispers as he continues to lead the party down the sloping passage on the far right side.

Moses isn't sure how to respond to Tibi, but he doesn't want to be rude, so he simply nods in response.

Tibi cleans his weapons and resheaths them before leading the party off down to the right.
