"I can fly up and light them," Burra offers with some reluctance. "I would prefer freeing and speaking with the prisoners, but I find myself searching for any excuse to. Attracting the guards' attentions will be useful to sneak in - although I doubt the fanatical cultists will waver for much." 

Alright, team - Cat-Pim is sneaking off into the cave at the back.

This distraction is to happen on his signal or prior or help is sneaking attempt?

Kano:

Updating Karib's disguise as requested, Kano gets into his own disguise--that of a young strapping teenager blessed with scales of different colors, sacred to Tiamat!  "I figure I can show up and be a participant in the brawl if needed, and I have already laid out a cover story rumor amongst the mercenaries," explains Kano, "But let's hope it doesn't come to that and the scouting goes smoothly."

Disguise Karib:  17

Disguise himself:  18

The amendment to Karib's disguise is both efficient and effective.

Kano's disguise is quite convincing; red, black, white, blue and green scales dotted around where there exposed skin on the arms, legs and neck. In the low lighting as day sinks to night, even your party members who remain are left very impressed.

Karib takes his shield, and a selection of copper coins, and starts to pray over it, reshaping and reforging the design to be a little less recognizable. As he does this, he hopes the simple ritual will help clear his mind. When he is done, he ponders the best course of action, even asking Gond for guidance, but fails to see a clear path ahead. He looks around his companions as he speaks, "There is little I can do here...I do not want to attract attention to myself. I can make a fire at a distance, from hiding, but it should be to cover an escape, I think. Not just a distraction."

"If you..." he nods at Pim, "...can change into something that will go unnoticed in the camp, then that may be the best course of action. We should all be rested before you go, so that we can assist in your retreat if needed. Perhaps -- if you are small enough -- the flying one might carry you away..."

Kano:

As the druid heads off to scout, Kano moves in a similar direction, though obliquely.  He wears his hooded cloak close around him, but as he sees cultists standing guard, he lets them catch a glimpse of him and his unusual multicolored scales.  As he gains confidence, Kano starts having muttered conversations about Tiamat, specifically concerning her fire and ice duality, letting one of his hands glow with fire and the other radiate cold (Fire Shuriken and Ice Shuriken cantrips).  He moves off quickly if they come to investigate, though he hopes their discipline will hold for now and they will remain at their posts...but very distracted.

-> Help action for the sneaky sneak scout druid/cat...

Night truly descends into the camp as the group find it difficult to decide on a plan to execute to safely delve deeper and discover where the supposed prisoners are.

The hour for Pimster to scout arrives and he transform into his cat form and slinks into the night, with Kano indirectly following behind. The camp has sunk into a level of silence, but it not devoid of life by any stretch; campfires give tents a warm glow, cultists are still tending to some errand alone or in pairs and the ever present guards keep their vigil around the ever-quiet southwestern camps and the more intricate tent housing Lady Mondath and the dragon's champion, Langdedrosa Cyanwrath.

Steath Check (From Kano's Help):
Pimster - 27 

Cat-Pim weaves from shadow to shadow, timing dashes well as ducks behinds the heels of the last cultist guard.

Inside the cave it is pitch black, with your cat's darkvision you can make the the uneven surface of the cave ceiling and its stalagtites 15 ft. up and can make an unpleasant smell of faint decay and lots of damp. Apart from a few naturally occuring pillars, the vast 30 ft. path veers slightly to the right and further into darkness...

Do you wish to continue?

Kano notices his meandering gather a few looks as he passes, he perceives one of the guards approaching him, weapons sheathed but with intent, from the southwest (Area 4).

What do you do?

Tengar goes to the camp of the Redbrands. The mercenaries no loner spill outside their tents, but a few of them still mingle. In these camps, tension and excitement has heightened as a clearing has been made and you see two figures duking it out in a cleaning for all to see and plenty of the Redbrands, some of the Golden Wilders and a few of the Cobalt Brothers, all casually watching with drink still flowing and simple food still available.

One of the Golden Wilders leans in to Tengar, "the Redbrands up for two rounds; says he can go for five. Ooo, the coins been piling!" He gestures to a Redbrand, a goliath clearly taking bets as her voice booms over the crowds cheers as the dwarf gives the human a meaty uppercut that sends them to the ground. The dwarf's beard smeared dark around his long beard. He bellows with victory calling another to try and beat him...

Kano:

Mumbling something about a “secret mission” to himself, Kano sinks deeper into his hood and moves swiftly away from the cultist and off to some nearby brush, his hand now cracking with electricity...”No, No, we must reconcile Fire and Ice first, musn’t we?” He mutters to himself.

Pim the Cat has a similar curiosity to his new form and continues deeper into the cavern...padding softly and avoiding the water as much as possible.

Stealth Check:
Kano - 10

Figure goes to walk past Kano, but the crackling of electricity catches the cultist guards attention and he wades into the grass towards Kano. "Oi! You! Come on out, we want to have a look at you."

Pim the Cat pads on into the darkness. The humidity and stench increases slightly, but not to the point of repulsion. 

After the cave veers slightly, it takes a sharp left and on the corner the floor drops a few feet suddenly. But next to the ledge ledge you see stairs that make getting down easier.

Suddenly, who here the scrapping of claws on stone, huffing and Draconic grumbles. You recognise a few kobolds must have finished doing some work and are heading towards you, but quite slowly. With your passive insight, you can guess their lack of speed is due to fatigue.

What do you do? 

Kano:

Alone in the grass with the approaching cultist, Kano looks up and favors the man with a full view of his face.  He says dramatically, “Tiamat shows you favor, first one to see my face...But my time has not yet come.  Return to your post and tell no one what you have seen this night.”

He puts his hood up and moves off (away from the cave, so as to provide an appropriate distraction), fading off into the tall bushes mysteriously.

Performance:  10

Pim-cat finds a hiding spot to let the kobolds pass by. Cats are really good at hiding! Stealth: 22

As the cultist guard approaches, he stops and listens to Kano's words. There is a slight before his masked faces cocks to one side and shakes with dismay and goes to grab Kano...

Grapple:

"Gah! Come back here you little... Oi!" The cultist guard turns and calls for others to help him look. 

Perception check:
Pimster - 26 

Cats are good at hiding!

The kobolds march claiming their arms and other griped and moans in Draconic as they head on out the cave, completely unaware of Pim the Cat's presence.

You make out one of the kobold asks another something along the lines of, "How much do you think they're going to eat?!!

MAP:

Curiosity may kill this cat, but Pimster will definitely continue!

Kano:

Retreating/withdrawing and sneaking away as best he can, Kano figures he has done as much as he can to help Pimster scout and spread the rumor of the dragon boy wonder.  He tries to disappear into the high grass and bushes, making his way quickly but casually back to his campsite.

Stealth:  20

Before Pimster wanders too far away from the party, Burra leans down and scratches the cat's neck while muttering an incantation in Auran. He imbues the cat with the blessing of trickery, granting him advantage on any stealth check for the next hour. 

As Pim-Cat watches the small dragonkin leave, you notice the glow you thought may have come from a kobold's light source remains in the direction they all came from... and the direction you head in. Down the crudely made stairs leads to what seems to a garden of mushrooms; most even bioluminescent. Soft green, purples and blues are given off to see a small array of mushrooms.

Nature Check:
Pimster - 4

They vary is size wildly. You notice most are brownish-grey with the caps being stodgy and roughly the size of your halfling hand and the stalk being equally stocky and round. The largest mushrooms are only three; their caps have large, gently pulsing, purple swellings on them and a veiny colourless glow going down their bendy stalks.

Do you continue?

Kano feels securely hidden amongst the foliage. As she causally tries to exit the foliage, 30 ft. from where the party has made camp, he sees one of the masked cultist lock onto from 15 ft. and call over, "Halt! By order of a Wearer of Purple, come with me!"

What do you do?

Kano:

"No, it is not yet my time!"  Kano replies in a powerful voice, spoken in Draconic.  Ducking quickly back into the foliage, Kano quickly finds a convenient spot and quickly sheds his disguise.  Setting it on fire with one of his fire shuriken, he tries to sneak away and exit in his normal guise from another angle...

Performance:  13

Stealth:  23

Tengar

Tengar grins at the dwarf and scratches his chin. Let’s hope this works, he think to himself. Stumbling a bit, the half orc pushes forward and declares, “The little tricks work on that one little man, but let’s see what you do against a real fighter!  Hiccup!”  Tengar cracks his knuckles...

Pim the cat stops at the mushroom field, not recognizing them and not liking what his cat senses were detecting. He decides to go back before he gets into something that he can't get out of!
