This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Archibald sips one of his healing potions. "Anyone else need a pick me up?" Archibald offers his remaining common healing potion to anyone that needs it.
Gracy, you make noise as you drudge through the swampy cave mouth, spying two passageways that lead north and south. At the moment, there are no other life forms in the immediate vicinity.
Returning from his surveillance mission, Gracy takes Archie up on his offer of a healing potion ( 8 ). 'Looks safe to move forward, two paths you can go by, but it seems we might have time to change the one we're on'
Looking to party 'I checked for anything scary but didn't look for anything of interest or value as I passed through. Seems we have three choices; North pass, South pass or head back to the ship and regroup. Thoughts now, please. '
"If we go back to the ship, it is highly likely that the lizardfolk will find their dead pets, babies, girlfriends...whatever the hell those were. It will definitely put them on the offensive I'd imagine. This was supposed to a reconnaissance mission right? Any ideas on to get back on that track?"
Klaus rubs his jaw. "So, ultimately, we likely fight these lizardfolk or parley with them before they discover their slain pets, or we return to the ship to regroup, replenish, and prepare to repel a sortie of lizardfolk who are likely outraged by our acts here today. We are not exactly spoiled for choice in the matter. I reluctantly agree with our esteemed Captain. I have no spells left, but am otherwise hale and hearty. I say it is best that we press on until we face these lizardfolk, try to reason with them, and if we can't, we slay them before they can coordinate anything more sophisticated than a desperate defense."
Zmeya calmly disposes of the lizard's bodies, relatively uninjured in the conflict. There was no remorse felt in dispatching wild animals. She approaches the party. "Are we even sure these lizards are affiliated with the lizardfolk? Regardless, I am for the plan of direct approach. Perhaps a moment's rest and recovery would be advisable?"
NOPE, THEY'RE LIZARDS

Zmeya jumps, elbowing the prone Lizard2 in the neck, before giving it the good old windpipe jab and neck twist.

Combat has ended. The cave is quiet. You can see a path leading north or south towards the back end of the cave.
"hold here, I'll try to scout forward a bit and see what else may be lurking'
Gracy eels forward, trying his best to move quietly and carefully into the cave, checking for traps as he goes.

“More like a long rest”, grouses Klaus.

'At this point a parley would be good. Let's just hope we can find someone to talk to.'
Gracy loads a fresh bolt in his crossbow and turns back towards the cave
'So the question remains - the northern or southern approach?'
Klaus tries to use his Divine Sense to check for undead or fiends, just in case. "Unless I detect otherwise, north?"
Zmeya calmly disposes of the lizard's bodies, relatively uninjured in the conflict. There was no remorse felt in dispatching wild animals. She approaches the party.

'I'm happy to keep watch while we take a breather if that's helpful - after which I suggest we set out towards the northern path'
