„I think the sneaking up and shooting arrows at it is a good idea, but Miss Medb and I we need a little bit of light to see, so maybe it is best when the three of you scout ahead to get a surprise attack and we two follow a little bit behind? Henwyn can fly behind us so that he is far enough behind that you are still under the cover of darkness?“
"But as more of us go up to scout, the higher the chance is of us being spotted. If you insist that I go, I will, but I'm not sure how good an idea it is."
"I can see in the dark," says Feldspar. "I should scout ahead with the others, if it's to be done. My magic may give us an edge."
He hoists his warhammer, and mumbles some words of magical preparation under his breath. Then, he steps forward deeper into the cave. "I've much to atone for this day, as it is."
Milo, Wuldric, and Feldspar venture forward (waking astride or single file) they move relatively silently until Feldspar's foot catching on something on the ground and he nearly trips, cursing aloud he looks down having caught himself before falling on his face to find half an armor-clad skeletal body! Pointing out the body he lets the other's know coming up behind them as they move forward. The cavern is covered in ice and debris from years of weather and use. Shattered on the ground in all manner of abandoned items as well as more piles of bones from humanoid to animal.
"Have we ever discussed how we plan to catch it," Medb then whispers to Harok with a frown as she looks ahead at the other party members that are 30ft ahead as Henwyn flows between the two groups.
OOC: So uh checks, checks, checks.....? While this party is making their checks. We're bringing in the other two players as soon as one of them checks in, stay tuned.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
When Milo comes up to the bodies, while walking close to the light provided by Harok, stops for a moment to look at corpses if he can see how they died. (Medicin 9)
"Well I was toying with an idea." Harok will pull out the bolt attached to his rope. "Perhaps if I'm near a stalagmite or something I can secure the free end. It's just rope though I doubt it'd hold long."
"I don't know about catching it,"Feldsparsays to Medb. "But maybe I can set up an early warning so it doesn't catch us by surprise." He finds a spot along with wall with relatively good cover for himself, and begins casting a spell.
OOC: I'd like to cast clairvoyance deeper into the cave, at the farthest limit of my range of sight, and set the spell for sight.
Focusing for ten minutes Feldspar stands in place to cast his spell.
OOC: How many feet in front? It says up to a mile away.
"Harok, guys." Medb then whispers, "they're sending help," she adds looking slightly relieved as she looks to Feldspar focusing on casting his spell.
Meanwhile.....
Vanessa Cyndrail moves quickly when she's informed that the party which was sent out has lost two party members due to death and abandonment. Going through her recent applications she calls forth clerics, Elijah and Midnight. Handing over a scroll of transport via plants and another for arcane gate, the two clerics travel to the location that the blood scrying gave her. The two clerics hustle to the Abundant Terrace taking a large tree to the base of the Heaven Stair. They then seeing the climbing gear the party left behind use arcane gate to bamf to the ledge in time to catch the party on the tail end of Feldspar's focus on clairvoyance.
"Hello," Medb greets each cleric having received a message via sending from Vanessa explaining how these two are joining the hunt. "It's ahead somewhere we're pretty sure," she explains next reaching out to clasp the arm of each cleric in greeting. "I think we should regroup outside," she says motioning for the others to follow back out to the ledge.
OOC: Templar 32 and gravedgr go for it! Everyone else I think strategy is in order.
"We press ahead? " Harok starts walking in as he asks.
"A bit brash, but alright," Wuldric says taken aback. He takes Harok's wooden stake and uses Prestidigitation to light it aflame.
OOC: Remember Medb isn't going to make any kind of checks for the party. Please make ALL the checks you think the party should!!
"Yes, it's nearly midday. We should get moving," Medb replies having looked out at the dim sunlight peeking through the overcast clouds.

"This thing is a threat. There may be a back to this cave, we shouldn't risk it leaving. Press on., quietly."
Stealth 16 Harok looks about for tracks or drag marks (survival and investigation are the same modifier) 17 "let's do this."

Milo would take the offered torch.

„A Chimera has three heads, odds are you get spotted anyway. Better to have backup then.“

"I suppose so, good point," He says after thinking over Milo's statement. "In that case, off we go."
Wuldric steps ahead of the party to scout. Stealth 23
OOC: Party is advancing, everyone roll stealth. So Feldspar, Wuldric, and Milo first party with Harok and Medb rear guard?

Stealth 12
OOC: Can I use the 1d10 inspiration you gave me, or is that just for me to give to others?
If so, this is the roll to add to my Stealth check (below): 4. If not, I will donate it to someone else in the party.
Feldspar Stealth roll: 6
EDIT: Oof, I guess it doesn't matter much for me.
Milo stays in the back, close to the light provided by Medbs friend but also with her torch.
The halfling would try to avoid any unnecessary noice. (Stealth 19)

OOC: The inspo was for you to use!
