Lead on, leader

okies me go first.  I like the dark :) 

 Tamoda stows his other weapons and pulls out his quarterstaff, putting the end with the black mark in his right hand, and sneaks into the cave trying to get a feel for which way it goes, and weather it's one long tunnel or several tunnels together, and also if it pitches up or down.

As you descend the tunnel, you become increasingly aware of the claw and scratch marks on the floor, which smooth out and become glossy after the first turn in the tunnel, the rock here is wet and slippery. The natural curves of the rock provide some traction but not much. Tamoda and Thasla, as the two in front, give me a DC 14 Acrobatics. If Thasla fails her check, Tamoda has disadvantage, as he'll be trying to maintain balance with both of their weight, not just his.

Acrobatics: 20

Thasla, graceful as only an Aasimar can be, floats above the cavern floor spinning and rolling and recovers on her feet perfectly balanced and ready to face what comes next.

Tamoda, graceful as only a half - orc can be jumps above the cavern floor wobbling and flopping and splatting on the floor with a thud - FUDGE!!!

so much for stealth :(

Tamoda does indeed hit the floor; slick as it is, and begins to slide rapidly down the long tunnel, past curves to a point where the tunnel splits into 3 branches.

Tamoda:

 Eventually the rest of you manage to reach the split yourselves, and are presented with 3 tunnels, the middle one seeming to go higher uo, the leftmost downward much the same as the tunnel you've traveled thus far, and the rightmost goes down at a steep incline.

Sihnion will look for signs of which way Tamoda went.

(Survival 11)

Grim helps Sihnion by listening at the right tunnel for any sound Tamoda might be making

Tamoda lies quietly to catch his breath, and to gives his heart beat a chance to catch up.  He also checked himself for injuries, while listening for Momma or Tamoda's friends.  

Listening 19

"Tamoda! Are you alright? Which path did you slide down, and do you need help getting out? What can you see down there?"

<ooc:  Tamoda is waiting on the results of his listening check from post #212> 

HHHHAAAAALLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!  OI!  I'm down here!  In one piece!  All I can suggest is Eeny Meenie Miney Moe!!

(We’d hear Tamoda down the left path, right?)

(If perception check is needed: 15)

(Here’s hoping it isn’t.)

Tamoda starts singing a time honoured tavern lied - 

Methinks Tamoda hit his head a bit too hard (Did you get the PM?)

While Tamoda can't hear his dear Momma, he does hear the echoing of his companion's shouts, and they his.

As does something else, and a loud roar can be heard coming from the tunnel on the right.

Tamoda pulls out his quarterstaff, and sneaks into a corner out of sight of the corridor, waiting silently to see who arrives first.

Stealth 20

Grim looks to the right tunnel, and whispers to the others. “Go get him, and come back. I’ll guard this direction til you get back.”

Grim is on guard against an attack (Dodge action)

Thasla moves down the left tunnel where Tamoda went, helping them back up to where the group is.
