This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I'll enter in the middle of things," Lasair replies, "I'll need light to see anything in there," she added next gripping her staff with a smile looking around for anything unnatural about.
While the boys talk about going in the tunnel, Kethra silently look for a big enough rock that goblins would have trouble with and if she finds one, she'll roll it over to prop the stone door open when everyone else walks in.
After that, Kethra nods to wordlessly indicate that she will watch the back. Drawing her sword, she'll use its polished surface to keep an eye out behind her, using the light of the open door. With a deep sigh, she'll remove the hood of her cloak, knowing that the darkness will keep her secrets. This whole day has already been a lot to take in...
Longen quickly strings his longbow, checks his armor, and pulls a thunderbolt amulet out from under his shirt. He looks at the amulet and scowls, grasping it tightly. Party members near Longen can hear him muttering under his breath about Talos, blood and lightning.

After Jairus reports his findings, Tyrael says, "Sounds like a campfire and we probably want to look there first. Maybe we should leave a couple of people here to keep an eye on the entrance. Does anyone speak their language?"

"I can stand watch outside, to be frank I've never been a fan of tight spaces anyhow. Shout if you need me, and I'll do the same." Longen moves to a position about 15 ft or so from the entrance.
After pointing out the smoke to those who didn't see it already, Jairus would note, "I agree, we should be sticking together. I could go with the others who got some creep in their step and scout out that smoke. Where there's smoke there's fire, so I should be able to see without no trouble. Let's see what this is first, then go in the tomb together."
Stealth to approach the campfire along with others scouting it: 13
(Unfortunately for you, you've been observed since you arrived.)
As the six of you approach the camp, a goblin and another brute who seems to have some ogre in him emerge. They don't have any surprise due to your alertness, but they are currently charging you.
Roll initiative! (and remind me of your marching order, please)

OOC: As we were approaching stealthily over wider terrain and open air, I would imagine it is less "marching order," as we likely wouldn't be single file but spread out, more like "rows," ie, characters more confident in stealth might have ventured closer, but not likely in a line, more likely parallel to one another. Does that make sense? Without a map it's hard to describe, but that's how I imagine based on the descriptions.

(Izraal1, congrats on the nat 20!)
Flower will take a spot near the middle.
Longen quickly strings his longbow, checks his armor, and pulls a thunderbolt amulet out from under his shirt. He looks at the amulet and scowls, grasping it tightly. Party members near Longen can hear him muttering under his breath about Talos, blood and lightning.
Longen will take position 2nd to last.
Flower too readies her longbow and falls in in front of Friend Thunder-Tongue.
Before you all enter the tomb, Jairus notices a telltale plume of smoke about 150 feet away, coming from a jumble of boulders.

"I don't speak Goblin," Lasiar answers.
OOC: Lasair didn't notice anything?

Flower does not speak the goblin.
(Sorry, forgot about Lasair's roll.)
You notice the same thing Jairus does.

"I can stand watch outside, to be frank I've never been a fan of tight spaces anyhow. Shout if you need me, and I'll do the same." Longen moves to a position about 15 ft or so from the entrance.
Flower will stalk the smoke. She is more hunter than guard.
"I think it's a mistake to split up," Lasair says to Longen. "Come with us," she adds.
Lasair first attempt to stealthy towards the smoke. Stealth 15

"Fair enough," Tyrael says. He follows Flower as quietly as he can, but he stays back at least 20 feet because he's not nearly as quiet as she is.

Longen follows behind the group, keeping a safe distance, stealth not being his strong suit.

(Right, just more talking about who is in the front. Doesn't have to be single file.)
Longen init: 12
(I'll probably either use group initiative or just resolve everything at once to account for PbP timing, although you all are pretty active.)
