It is slow going, but Cronan grunts and squeezes and manages to push himself up the shaft. He peeks his head out at the top and sees a Bugbear sitting around a fire and petting two wolves while several goblins scurry about bringing him food and ale.
Alright, just at the edge of your light you can see part of the bridge that Kume was talking about. It's about 20' above the pathway. The walls look slick, but potentially climbable.
"Well beys, there's a bugbear who is playing with wolves that looked like the ones we just killed. He's also got a bunch of goblins bringing him food. I'm guessing the bugbear is the big boss around here."

Make another Athletics check to descend, and a stealth check if you want to try to do it quietly.
"If we get the bugbear's attention, say with an arrow to the head, we can retreat outside of the cavern and eliminate the creatures as they emerge. We can start a fire outside of the cave so that those without dark sight can fight without impairment." Umbriel says, thoughtfully.
A little sad, and a little funny all at once. Take an inspiration point as well!
Umbriel points out the narrow passageway to the group and asks quietly "Baeshra, do you know where this leads?"
Baeshra will shake his head, ”I didn’t go that direction.”
Cronan nods. "There's only one way to find out, I suppose."
He will attempt to climb the rocks. - 19

Kume gave Rosie a side-hug around the shoulders, " It is a nasty business."
Coming a little way down the stairs, " What do you see Cronan?"
Omen
Omen will move back to the party.

Cronan moves back to the group.

Nice, you make it back down slowly and quietly with no issues.
Omen
"Sounds like a good plan Umbriel. Any one else have something?" Omen asks quietly.
"Do you mean to shoot him from the hole or find another way in?"

Cronan shrugs. "I think we just punch, kick, slash and shoot and we're good."
