Veryes looks abashed "Right, of course, we're not going to die. I'm not going to die. Sorry. I get carried away with the stories in my head sometimes...."
When everyone is ready Veryes would like to be as stealthy as possible: 4
While making their way down the tunnel, Veryes catches a glimpse of shine and reflection from a wire in the light. Stopping and inspecting she sees a spiderweb system of wires connected to a rope that holds a net of large rocks to the ceiling. It looks that it’s rigged if any one of the wires are pulled it will drop the rocks onto the group. The wire system looks to be about 40 feet in length down the tunnel until it opens to another cavern.
“I think if we set this off, it’ll crash down around us and cut off our progress forward... can anyone see if there’s a way around, or maybe we can cut these wires without setting off the trap?” Trynwyn looks around. ( I assume others can/have been using advantage)
(I did not roll with advantage, but also remember that everyone have bardic inspiration, and guidance as well yes? Unless someone has used theirs already. Unfortunately I don't think guidance will do much good on my int check :))
Trynwyn is going to hold the rope and use the combined strength to hold the trigger rope when he cuts it. Then he’s going to tie it to everyone’s waterskin to weigh it down.
Veryes looks at her thin arms "I'd help if you like but I don't know how much good I'd be. I'll happily donate any gear needed to get the weight right though" as she prepares to hand Trynwyn anything he might need.
The group deftly cuts the rope and adds enough counter weight to the trigger to keep it from falling down on them even if they trampled over every wire. You now no longer have water for your journey home, but out of immediate danger for now.
"I think they know we're here. Listen....they've stopped talking. Be on the lookout everyone." With that he heads cautiously down the now de-trapped tunnel.
Trynwyn begins to walk down the path. Walking through the disarmed trap. Even when accidentally kicking wires, nothing happens and he walks across safely. As he peaks his head around the corner. He sees a room barely lit with more of the algae and mushrooms on the walls. There hiding behind a rock he sees one red kobold sitting next to a tiny goat. The kobold seems to be wearing some sort of dress that’s entirely way too big. He then recalls seeing Gertrude wearing the same ugly looking floral print moo moo before. (Posted same time - Kondo and Veryes). It’s uncertain if they have seen you at this point.

Veryes points out the system to the party and shrugs. She whispers "Think we could draw them out by hiding back here and springing the trap?"

Veryes scratching her head : Int: 4
(Oof! I think she got some brain on her fingers!)

Lol, yep that plan seems solid.
Kondo
Standing very still after being made aware of the trap system, Kondo peers down the tunnel.
Perception 11
If he sees someone he will cast Command and utter one word - "approach"
“I think if we set this off, it’ll crash down around us and cut off our progress forward... can anyone see if there’s a way around, or maybe we can cut these wires without setting off the trap?” Trynwyn looks around. ( I assume others can/have been using advantage)

Kondo doesn’t see anyone in the tunnel but with the rustling around and investigating the group hears the draconic talking cease.
Upon further inspection all the wires are connected to one pull wire that leads up to the rocks above. It does stand to reason it could be disarmed.
Trynwyn will attempt the disarm. Is this something to pull, cut, or what?
Paladin - warforged - orange
There is the pull rope to cut, then there would have to be some way to keep the tension of the rope the same to not trigger it.
There is also the method of standing back and throwing a rock to trigger it while you’re out of the way. But that’s noisy.
“One of you come help me hold this.”
Trynwyn is going to hold the rope and use the combined strength to hold the trigger rope when he cuts it. Then he’s going to tie it to everyone’s waterskin to weigh it down.

Trynwyn waits to see if Kondo is crushed by piles of falling rocks before trucking down the tunnel

Veryes will follow but heading Kondos warning will travel as quietly as possible. Stealth:13
