OOC: Serwa's intent was to hang back and allow a silent person with Darkvision to handle the scout who could flood the chamber, at the very least, expecting they would then let her know it is all-clear to enter. When she does follow, after this, she will attempt stealth, but she will be at disadvantage due to heavy armor.
Aster will go with the others when everybody does so, but will not take the lead. So he would take place just before Serwa and leave her the back. Stealth: 3 Guidance: 3

Tomora approaches the wolves cautiously but confidently "All right now, calm dow." She will begin to growl, snarl, and bark at them, mimicking their sounds. (Wolf talk: "Quiet. Calm. you are hungry. I have food") She takes three rations from her pack and tosses one to each ("I am friend. Sister of the woods...not like cruel goblins. Goblins make you pet dogs...I want to make you free wolves. Noble hunters. Do you want to be free wolves? ...but youmust not hunt my pack - pale humans and blue elf. You hunt my pack, you die. My pack hunt goblins.")
Serwa is a bit amazed at how much Tomora actually sounds like a wolf. She tries to think of a good song about talking to wolves, but it quickly becomes macabre, and she discards the notion for now. She continues to wait behind the other 3 for a clear signal that it is safe to enter, not wanting to alert the scout and trigger the cave flooding.
The wolves begin to calm down, eagerly accepting your food. "Thank you. Free us, and we will not hunt your pack. We long for the forest, our true home. The dirt beneath our feet and the thrill of the hunt have been long denied to us, stuck in these caves." They sit, waiting expectantly, looking at the iron rods holding their chains to the stalagmite.
Trusting the wolves, Tomora walks in among them letting them sniff her (and hopefully not bite her) ("Go, you are free wolves now. There is a fresh kill outside the cave. Or Join me, if you want to hunt goblins.") She will release the chains or collars from around the wolves necks.
The wolves nod in thanks, and begin to run out of the cave. People outside of the cave, you watch as three wolves come running out of the cave, paying you no heed. They run over to the two goblins left outside, and begin to drag them both into the forest.

Serwa, who was waiting behind for a signal that it is clear to follow, sees the wolves bound out and drag off the dead goblin and the unconscious goblin. She just says flatly, "Heh."
The wood elf has observed the interaction between Tomora and the wolves with fascination. He flattens himself against the wall as the canines speed by, and tries not to smirk when they take their meal. "Living free and in the wild. Nice touch, friend druid," he says quietly. "And no goblins at our rear." He takes a peak inside the room where the wolves were kept, and if he sees no one else - or no other wolves - he'll take a closer look around.
Searching around the room, you see the same things I posted above, but you begin to take a closer look at the fissure. You notice some discarded scraps, such as bone and meat, and looking up you see an opening. You think it might be possible to climb up these walls and reach the opening, as there seem to be quite a bit of handholds on the walls.
Xianon looks up the fissure thoughtfully. He glances back at his teammates, then back up the fissure. "Hey...come over here," he calls quietly. He's confident that a slender blue elf could fit up there, but there are bigger folk to consider.
Tomora casts Produce Flame to shed a little light in the cave. She looks up at the fissue where Xianon is looking "Well I'll be, there's a hole up there...you thinkin of climbing up there?" She asks quietly.
“We aren’t going to get flooded are we? Did you find the guy with the flood the chamber lever, or however goblin traps work?” Serwa sounds more annoyed than afraid of the notion of ‘goblin traps’ then genuinely afraid, but it could just be her demeanor.
"I'm not exactly sure where that flood comes from, but I do know that water flows down, not up. This looks like a way to higher ground." He finds some easy footholds and starts up. "For me, at least. Serwa, think you can make it up with that chainmail of yours?"
Serwa appraises the climb, and nods. “Not a problem. You want stealth, it’s all clank clank from me. But we were trained to run, jump, and climb in heavy armor. Even swim, actually. I’d just rather not.” She points up. “Want me to take the lead, or do one of you want to make sure it’s not rigged?”

"I'll go up first," the elf offers. "Your chain isn't nearly as 'clanky clanky' as plate, but I can scamper up there a bit easier, methinks." He wisely says nothing about being squished by falling clanky clanky.
OOC: Serwa would have allowed the elf to take the lead if he proposed it, knowing he’s got sharper eyes and would better spot any trouble ahead. I’ll leave her roll above for using Athletics, raw strength and physical conditioning, as her climbing method.

(Whoops...so much for that goblin...I guess he din't have an arrangement with the wolves :)

Serwa will rejoin the others, when she hears Xianon’s call. “What‘s the situation here?”

OOC: If none of the others identify any traps with the climbable area, Serwa will take the lead rolling Athletics to climb up.
