Fae would be holding a light stone in her closed hand to muffle the light, loosening her grip and the spaces between her fingers to control direction and sharpness of the light. She’d hold it out ahead of herself to scan the ground in front of her, keeping it on the dim side as to not disturb the wolves too much. Hopefully.
Zeke will pass the wolf pack, giving them a defferential nod, from one predator to another. He resumes his position leading their pack, shield held in front blade out ready to strike.
The wolves watch intently as they finish their snacks but give the party no further cause for concern as Zeke and then Tarja lead them further up the slippery tunnel, the stream splashing down to their left and the low roar of what sounds like a bit more than just a stream ahead filling the cavern. The group is careful to keep any light they require dim and a fair distance behind Zeke.
As they pass by the wolves something catches the eye of Tarja, Ethan, and Fae. In the back of their cave is a fissure in the rocks with a thin, faint ray of light illuminating a small space on the floor from above. Piled there is what appears to be just refuse; food scraps, small bones, and perhaps even feces.
Meanwhile Arvil and Zeke are focused on the next, more obvious feature of the main cave which is a gap in the left hand wall. A steep pile of rubble seems to have accumulated there as the entrance to a tunnel above continues to crumble. The loose nature of the rocks makes the otherwise short ten foot climb look precarious.
Lastly, despite not being in spider form any longer Tarja still scans the ceilings and, looking beyond the crumbling gap to the left instead to where the cave curves right ahead, sees a rickety wooden bridge suspended fifteen feet up over the stream and across the main cavern. She sees what might be a small ember glow and then go dark, only to glow again a moment later and repeat the pattern. Behind the tiny glow she thinks she sees the outline of a tiny head with point ears, a goblin sitting against the far side of the bridge near its center.
First map of the cave below depicting the stream and entrance at the bottom, thus the wolf cavern as the first right, high crumbling tunnel to the left, and bridge and main watery path ahead and curving right.
Squares for this would be closer to ten feet than five.
Were I still a spider I'd think about climbing up the refuse chute behind the wolves, but I don't know if we can all find a way to get up there as we are now.
There's a goblin sentry up on the bridge. I don't think I can offer this one any dried meat... but he's alone, and I've seen us all do pretty well at range. Should we handle him first?
OOC: looks like we have three options... go past the wolves and climb up the garbage chute, go to the tunnel on the left, or go straight along the stream. The option Tarja proposes is moving up and shooting the goblin on the bridge.
Since I'll be on my phone only for most of the day, I'll add in some relevant checks for that course of action now, though Tarja's waiting for assent from someone and not rushing ahead on her own...
Stealth to approach to within 30ft of the goblin: 10
Initiative in case it comes to a combat round: 21
Thorn Whip attack: Attack: 16 Damage: 4 (on a hit, pulls goblin 10 ft towards me off of the bridge)
Fae would nod to Tarja, agreeing that we should be able to pick off the single sleeping goblin. She’d look to Arvel and Ethan, they had a better track record for hits. She’d whisper back, “Would it be over kill with 2 simultaneous range hits from the guys? Worst case I ready up a 3rd if there’s a miss?” She’d fidget with her sleeve when suggesting herself as a back up. “Or Elra. She’s got one epic snap.”
Zeke 'Take out the Goblin now. Best case one more dead goblin, worst case the rest of them come to meet us here and we kill them all or die on our feet.'
Sensing Zeke's urgency, Fae nods seeing the other two ready. "On 3?" she'd count down so that she'd be focused enough to follow up after them if she needs to.
Zeke stays in the shadows but keeps the rest of the party behind him, ready to interdict anyone coming to respond to the sounds of the goblin getting blasted to bits.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ethanwhispers to Arvel,
"Nice shot Arvel, looks like I would have missed, if your shot hadn't landed."
Ethanlooks about, straining his ears to hear if anyone heard his and Arvel's shots.
At Elra's words, Ethanturns to her,
"But they are bad Elra, they tried to kill us, twice, and they have at least kidnapped Gundrenand Sildar. Hopfully they haven't...haven't done more to them."
"Isn't it right, that those who are this evil, should be stopped?"
Perception check to hear/see anything after the shots: 18
When hearing Ethan speculate about what else the Goblins could be doing to Gundren and Sildar, Fae would pipe up in a whisper. "This is why we need to press forward quickly. Don't forget we left Finnan and Farnin to fend for themselves when it's possible they could get ambushed as well. We've got candles burning at both ends here." She'd try to encourage the others to keep moving and follow Zeke. Fae would still hold up the back of the group.

Ethan nods along with the others suggestions and recommendations,
"Sure, we can try a simultaneous attack, see if at least a couple of us can take it down before it can raise an alarm."
"The only thing is, uh, some of us aren't the quietest. Are we ok if others hear our attacks?"
At Zeke's stoic declaration, that he is willing to fight any and all comers, right here and now, Ethan responds,
"Oh, uh, right, ok then. Should we set up to all shoot from a couple of different angles and then count off and shoot at the same time?"
