Bel pulls a bottle of potion out of his backpack “let me scout ahead to the first turn in the tunnel” then downs the bottle.
potion 9
He begins moving down the tunnel hoping to not disturb anything else.
stealth 7
perception 20
You climb up a slight incline, and the first turn, at the apex of the incline, puts you abruptly at the mouth of the tunnel. Several passages branch away from this large, high-ceilinged cavern. To the north, a carved, square-mouthed tunnel shows that someone has been at work in these caves. A gate of rough-hewn timber blocks a small passage to the northeast. Three other passageways wind off toward the south. A heavy animal smell lingers in the air.
Then, movement. A pair of yellow eyes and rows of razor-sharp teeth pull back, startled. You've been spotted! And the creature knows that you've seen it, as well. It rushes at you with a hissing battle cry! [Initiative 3]
// Bel, go ahead and roll the initiative! Aregarak, GB, and Lana are treated as "surprised" (since Bel is by himself) and so can only act after the first round. Bel is 40 feet removed from the rest of you, and is just out of your line of sight. //
Bel yells back to the others “I need some help!” as he readies his blade and thrust as soon as the attacker is in reach.
attack 16 damage 7
The reptilian warrior lunges at you, and runs straight into your rapier! Accepting the gash in his side, he dodges around your arm and lays into you with primal ferocity. You can't tell what's worse: the claws on this creature, or his putrid, overwhelming stench.
Bite Attack: 10 Damage: 6
Claw Attack: 5 Damage: 3
Claw Attack: 9 Damage: 3
// Overwhelming Stench: Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of this reptile must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of the creature’s next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the stench of all troglodytes for 1 hour. //
Lana and Aregarak can reach you this turn Bel, your choice if you want to use your Cunning Action to Disengage and get some distance.
You roll all your damage dice again and add them to the total damage (+1d8 for you—if there's extra damage dice from something like Sneak Attack or hunter's mark, you double those dice as well).
// Let me know what Aregark and GB are doing with their turn before I continue—Aregarak was intending to follow Lana I know, but both he and GB can get into the high-ceilinged cavern with Bel and Spirit if they use dash actions, or can meet up with Lana in the tunnel if they just use their move. //

Lana calls for Spirit as she rushes up the path that Bel followed whispering an elven prayer that they get their in time.
Aregarak follows Lana towards the sound of Bel's shout

/ooc Can Spirit do her pounce?
Lana reaches the top of the turn and sees the foul looking creature and Bel as she quickly notches an arrow and lets it lose confidently.
Attack 16 If Hit 9
// if Spirit can do her pounce attack
Spirit runs up and leaps toward the creature swatting it with her massive paw while letting out a startling roar.
Pounce:
Claw Attack 24 If hit 5
(requires DC 12Str or prone)
If Prone:
Bite 5 If hit 6
/ooc what do I do if I hit a critical again?

Lana lands an arrow straight in the reptile's chest, and Spirit rips through its throat. It falls and lies dead on the ground.
// You no longer have to make a CON save against the stench. //
From the back of the room, just outside of Lana and Bel's range of darkvision, you hear an animal roar, and the sound of a cage being unlatched.

all dice, roll twice
then you add whatever modifiers (those don't get doubled)
And as an added bonus I will dash to catch up with Bel - which allows me to do a goring rush attack
