"If you can see in the dark I would not mind the company," Saravena answers Rashana, "If not I feel it would be safer if I go alone. I will not be going too far anyway."
Saravena turns to Damian, "Thank you just give me a moment to find something." Saravena looks through her pack for something for light to cast on before finally settling on a copper coin. "This is the easiest thing to hide I have."
Once the spell is cast Saravena takes one last look at the party, the coin enclosed in her hand to keep the light from spilling out, and heads into the cave as quietly as she can going to the path going up on the right.
"We won't be far behind" Tagret follows them to the mouth of the cave and takes up position there, Javelin in hand once again, listening for any call of help or signs that the light coin has been dropped.

Saravena heads into the cave. Just inside the cave mouth, a few uneven stone steps lead up to a small, dank chamber on the east side of the passage. Suddenly three wolves appears to Saravena's to side, snapping and snarling. However, she quickly realises that the wolves cannot go another further as they are chained to an iron rod driven into the base of stalagmite. The cave behind the wolves narrows to a steep fissure at the far end.
Tagret who cannot see the wolves, and certainly hear them. As can anyone else outside the cave.

Saravena swears to herself in Elven at being surprised by the wolves then berates herself for not paying closer attention to her surroundings. After taking a moment to calm herself Saravena continues on keepin her back against the wall away from the wolves, slowly making her way to the other end of the chamber to get a better look at the fissure. Every so often she looks back a the way she came in case any goblins come running at the sound.
((OOC: I thought there was enough room to sneak by the wolves without being attack if Saravena stuck to the southern wall of the chamber if not then Saravena would return to the party to inform them of what she saw))
DM Note: You can continue on the main path past the steps without coming into reach of the wolves. You can even be on the steps and avoid the wolves, beyond that, you move into their reach.

If that is the case then Saravena will retreat to the mouth of the cave where everyone else is keeping her eye out for any goblins coming to investigate the noise from the wolves.
Concerned that commotion will result in other goblins coming to investigate, Tagret turns to Damian and says in hushed tones "We might have company out here soon, help me arrange the guards bodies to look like they have fallen asleep, and then we can hide and ambush any more that venture out of the cave". And with that Tagret moves to the guard station and tries to arrange the two guards to make it look as though that are asleep.
If Rashana and Saravena head back out of the cave Tagret will relay instructions to hide and look to ambush any of the goblins that come out to investigate.
OOC: Can we get into the briars, or at least out of sight from the mouth of the cave, such that any goblins would at least have to be approaching the guard area before they could see us?

When everyone is back outside of the cave you all hide in the briar thickets. Under the cover darkness, you are almost impossible to find, except for those with darkvision. However, as you wait the in the briair thickets, no one comes out. No goblin is spotted at the mouth of the cave.

OOC: Sounds like you are being semantic - perhaps there is not a goblin at the mouth of the cave, it is probably just inside checking the wolves.
Tagret whispers to the others "Give it a few more moments" and then waits around a minute to see if there is any other movement and strains to be aware of whether the wolves have settled back down or not (Perception 18.
If any goblin appears he will wait until it/they are well out of the cave mouth before launching his javelin at the farthest (providing it is in range)
If nothing occurs in that time then he says to Saravena and Rashana - "shall we try that again", and this time Tagret secures his javelin and then picks up the two dead goblins (or only one if it turns out to be too much) and heads in behind the two warriors, intent on giving the wolves something to distract them (ie a meal) as the party moves past.

"Alright," Saravena nods, "I saw something like a fissure at the other end of of the chamber where the wolves are, could lead somewhere. There is also the path on the left or we could just continue forward into the cave. Where would you like me to check first?"
Tagret says to Saravena and Rashana - "shall we try that again", and this time Tagret secures his javelin and then picks up the two dead goblins (or only one if it turns out to be too much) and heads in behind the two warriors, intent on giving the wolves something to distract them (ie a meal) as the party moves past.
"Perhaps check out the path to the left, but let me take care of the wolves first" and at Saravena direction, he approaches the entrance to the wolves and tosses the two dead goblins inside, hoping that a meal will settle them down. "And perhaps give us a little light to follow you, and maybe one of you (ie Rashana or Saravena) should stay here to watch out for any goblins coming at us from behind"

"Alright," once the wolves have been dealt with Saravena will quietly make her way towards the path on the left, holding out her crossbow in front of her and the coin with light low behind her to allow the others to follow, all the while keeping her eyes out for any sign of goblin activity.
"Alright i'll give you light and be careful okay.." Damian cast light on a object she can hide if she has one.

The wolves sniff the bodies of the former goblin guards, but otherwise ignore them. They also ignore you, as you keep well out of their reach.
