Road to Phandalin

Dain keeps watch at the door, with a readied ray of frost if anything dangerous or hostile jumps out at them.

You search the room again, but like the first time, you don‘t find anything beside broken bones and stone.

Otrov ruminates for a moment.  "Well, what do you think?  Northward?  Or should we check out what's through this door here to the west?  Nobody - where's your pet?  Maybe we could get a look-see and try to choose a decent path?  Actually, don't all of you have them?  Let's use the resources at hand.  I could go but maybe throwing my light might not be the quietest option, huh?"  Otrov smiles and waits for other opinions...

Margret shrugs "Ok" she walks over and checks the door to the west "Hide the light Otrov" she open the door slightly and with Marco on her shoulder goes into his senses to look at the beyond,

Map: 

This maze of passages is an old section of Wave Echo Cave’s original mine site. This tunnels consists of numerous intersecting passages. The ceilings here are only six feet high, and several of the passages end in partially excavated rock faces. Those dead-end passages are places that look as if the miners gave up and decided to move on to other spots.

Otrov would like to take a quick look-see at the caved-in areas, looking for anything shiny or even a pickaxe “in case” she needs to use one. If she notes any bones, she’ll back up and make sure they don’t animate.   Perception - 7 

*welp!

No bones, no tools, no nothing. Empty walls , clean floor and a few large rocks, nothing else. 

In answer, if albeit belatedly as Nobody appeared to have zoned out for a second, he replied to Otrov, "Still watching over Kai and the rest. I wanted them in place as an early warning system in case something went wrong back there... not that anything should, since we've been fairly thorough about clearing things as we go, but.. you know. Just in case. In addition, there are the other two already to rely upon, so no need to call him over just yet."

At that, he advanced far enough to be just behind Margret for a peek down the tunnels proper and grimaced. "Hn... That's one dead end, b-but we can try the other. It looks it curves into about the same direction." He whispered, noting what appeared to be the beginnings of another intersection ahead of her.

Can everyone roll me s stealth check please, Margret with disadvantage since you walk while useing your familiars senses.

Otrov - stealth - 15

(Ether way disadvantage shrugs)

Margret replies whispering "It's good you have our wellbeing in mind Nobody" as she steps out the door

Dain stealth: 12 guidance: 2 Sabastian perception: 8

I assume you continue forward to the next intersection:

The next tunnel leads to stairs that are hewn into the rock, they lead up a 10ft high ridge and you see some kind of cavern beyond it.

Dain gestures for a hault, then sends Sabastian forward to check out this new cavern... Stealth: 24 Perception: 20 Dain will ready an action to summon the familiar to his side if anything threatens it.

Sebastian flies up the stone stairs into a large cavern.  Large stalagmites connect the ceiling and the floor. This cave is huge, the upper part where Sebastian is, is roundish with an aproximatly 20ft radius. There is another set of 10ft wide stairs leading down to a second lower section of the cave. In that lower section there are large tables and braziers, as well as maybe half a dozen of ghouls. The floor is littered with century old humanoid bones. The cave is to large for Sebastian to spot the other side without geting closer to the ghouls.

"Well looks like more of those ghouls to deal with..." Dain says to the others as he looks through the familiar's eyes. He pulls his senses back into his own body and glances to the others. "Ready when you are..."

Otrov

Otrov grins and nods, "Definitely!  This seems like spearing fish in a barrel.  We might even be able to surprise them if we're careful...Do you think one of your pets can distract while we get into position up there?  What do you all think?" Otrov looks to each of her companions.

(Probably doesn't matter at this point, but I'll roll the stealth check from last just in case)

Stealth: 18.

"Not sure they'd care much for as small a morsel as any familiar... not unless they're that desperate." Nobody admits as much. "But, its worth -- nope. Not finishing that. Caught myself this time... *cough*... but uh, assuming they don't appear already distracted with something else, we could try that."He looks to Dain for confirmation, and once given, he simply nods and made sure the crossbow was loaded and ready for action. That, and follow after the others.

I assume the glowing piton is hidden at the moment?
