Caution was most likely warranted - you already knew the caves were inhabited, who knows what else is lurking out there.
The descending fissure opened up abruptly into a very high cavern, its ceiling easily forty feet or more overhead. The cave probably would look beautiful in the light (there had to be a reason for dwarves to respect the entrance to the cave system so much as to build a hall for it), but grey vision of the spell (or natural ability to), showed only cold untouched by hands stone. The stairway continued to wind down along a ledge that followed the north wall of the chamber. A fast-moving stream about five feet wide runs across the floor of the chamber from the north and disappears under a low stone overhang to the south, and larger passageways exit to the southeast and the northeast.
Ramious takes a moment to pause at the water. He sniffs it and then cups some and has a drink. He then. Hops the water and heads to the north tunnel with the others in tow.

Bernard follows along behind whom ever is pulling him. He whispers out, "Not going to lie, I am zero help like this and a major liability if there is combat... If something happens can some one light a torch or something?"
OOC: Wait, what "light source"? Post 580: "Leon casts darkvision on Bugs as well. No reason to have a light if we don't need it." Bernard is fine.
The NE path is wide enough for two people to move shoulder to shoulder. Uneven floor, though, would make it difficult. From time to time niches and small caverns open up on either side - empty, as far as you can see. After a while you sense a familiar smell - the one you last endured in the caves of the lovely kingdom, you freed from the hydra. Then you stepped in yet another big cave.
Several passages branch away from this large, high-ceilinged cavern. To the north, a carved, square-mouthed tunnel shows that someone has been at work in these caves. A gate of rough-hewn timber blocks a small passage to the northeast. Three other passageways wind off toward the south. A heavy animal smell, mixed with that familiar notes, lingers in the air.
The cave is quiet and seemingly empty.
P.S. To avoid confusion - that smell is similar to the troglodytes caves.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Except, these are not stairs, but that gate of rough-hewn timber blocks. Near them the animal scent is growing.

Whether it was the smell or the slight movement, but before you got close to the gates, you saw two shadows darting to the gates. One reached it and opened wide - the low threatening growl of a huge animal resonated from the cave walls.
Unless Alyssa is faster than 18, Bernard goes first.
One of the troglodyte (you had no doubts it was a troglodyte) jumped to the gated to open them up and then flattened himself at the wall letting out a huge bear - angry, and most likely hungry. Second troglodyte froze on the other side of the gate but all three enemy could be reached for a melee strike.
Bernard draws his bowand is happy for the darkvision spell. He nicks an arros and aims for the trog nearest the bear. He draws, fires and then backs up to put more space between them.
"Waddya guys think.....i bet this big fella just wants to get outta this damned cave. We make ourselves tough enough he'll go on his way....won't ya big fella...."
Ramious circles around to the side of the bear, showing it a clear route out of the cave. He keeps his arms wide, his stance ready. He growls deeply as he circles the bear.
(I'd like to hold my action, if the bear lunges at anyone Ramious would like to leap forward and grapple the bear, going into a rage : Athletics check : 25 ...)

(Ramious stopped and let Bernard get a light source out. We should be travelling with a light source so that people aren't blind.)

Ramious glances about, scratching his head. Then he walks forward and heads towards the tunnel with the stairs furthest to the left (top).

The troglodyte near the gates dropped down in front of the bear, that stepped over him as if not even noticing.
