You move forward, Balassar taking the lead, seeing through colourless darkvision, with Alton twenty feet behind and Wash a further twenty feet behind Alton, his lantern casting light foward so that Wash can just make out the shape of the dragonborn as he moves forward.
Balassar, what you see is a tunnel that extends before you. As you move further along, you see that it opens up eventually into a larger space; you think you see tables and chairs, so perhaps a dining area. Only ten feet ahead of you, you can now see that there's an opening in the left wall; a new tunnel heads off in that direction.
Are you attempting to move quietly? If so, make a Stealth check (with disadvantage for your armour, I believe?) and everyone else please make a straight Stealth check.
Balassar, you reach the place where a new tunnel leads off to the south (to your left). Looking down it, you can see a large open space. This natural cavern is reinforced by support beams across its fifty-foot length. A smooth pillar of stone rises in the center of the cave to a height of eight feet, nearly touching the ten-foot-high ceiling. The tunnel continues beyond the cavern, curving abruptly to the west and out of sight. You notice that there is a small hand crossbow on the top of the stone pillar. It doesn't appear to be active.
Balassar, you move forward towards where you saw the tables. You enter a large cavern. Flickering lanterns illuminate it, and you see three tables surrounded by chairs. Three kobolds are sitting around the central table, playing cards for copper pieces. Mugs and scattered piles of playing cards litter the blade-scarred tabletops. A dozen small cloaks hang on the walls from metallic hooks. A passage to the south bends out of view, while rickety wooden doors obscure a cavern to the west. Another door on the north wall is partially ajar, while a passage to the northeast leads toward a dark cavern.
As you have made no attempt to stealth in, the kobolds spot you immediately and reach for their weapons.
Alton will motion to Wash that there might be danger up ahead by making a fist and extending his arm in the direction of Balassar. He will then move up next to Balassar and take a look into the room. If there is danger inside of the room that he can see, Alton will take aim and fire his crossbow; if not he will just wait.

Wash doesn't know what the danger is and because it looks like Alton and Balassar have stopped up ahead, he moves up 30 ft walking in a zig-zag/serpentine motion (taking the dodge action).

Balassar, what are you doing next?

Balassar will continue to move forward, not caring for the stealth. Knowing that his allies are behind him he will travel 20 feet ahead of them.
Balassar, you reach the place where a new tunnel leads off to the south (to your left). Looking down it, you can see a large open space. This natural cavern is reinforced by support beams across its fifty-foot length.

Balassar just holds his shield up as he begins to walk across the hallway trying to check out the other side of the cavern.
Alton will keep up his 15-20 feet distance from Balassar and motion with his hand for Wash to follow.

Wash is concerned but follows Alton's lead, walking in a zig-zag/serpentine motion (taking the dodge action) when crossing the passage to the south.

Alton is up. You have an idea that something is going on up ahead, but you haven't seen the kobolds yet.
Alton will motion to Wash that there might be danger up ahead by making a fist and extending his arm in the direction of Balassar. He will then move up next to Balassar and take a look into the room. If there is danger inside of the room that he can see, Alton will take aim and fire his crossbow; if not he will just wait.

There is danger. You shoot the nearest kobold through an eye, before it has even had a chance to stand up. Kobold 2 is dead.
Kobold 1 shoots at the dragonborn:
Attack: 14 Damage: 7
The bolt hits Balassar in the left thigh.
Kobold 3 gapes in shock at his slain friend, and with a murderous cry he takes aim at Alton:
Attack: 12 Damage: 9
This bolt also hits, though it sticks in less deep. Both kobolds move to back away a little, down the south passage.
Wash is up.
Wash doesn't know what the danger is and because it looks like Alton and Balassar have stopped up ahead, he moves up 30 ft walking in a zig-zag/serpentine motion (taking the dodge action).
Wash moves up. Wash, you don't yet see the enemy, but you do see Alton firing into the space ahead.
Balassar is up.
Balassar just charges at the first Kobold he sees swinging his sword down on it.
OOC:
Move to attack K1
Attack: 12 Damage: 9
Balassar charges forward, slashing at the goblin and cutting a large chunk of flesh from its side. It screams, but is still alive.
