Wick, Warren, Caldath, Grigor, and Raja begin to track the footprints. In just under an hour, the prints lead the party to a small clearing in the snowy forest. The ground dips downward in a brief, steep incline ending at the opening to a cave. Blood stains both old and new can be seen about the rocky opening, as well as the bones of various animals and even a few humanoid skulls. The prints lead directly into the darkness of the cave.
As a dry, cold wind cuts across Wick's face, the smells of pine trees and moist, semi-frozen earth are accompanied by the faintest hint of a metallic tang: fresh blood. Beyond this and the tracks already observed leading into the cave, Wick perceives nothing else worth noting.
Raja's keen ears pick up a set of barely audible noises emanating from the cave; a sound reminiscent of stones grinding together followed by several throaty growls. Additionally, after a second, closer glance, Raja realizes that what he initially took to be a series of stalactites and stalagmites just within the cave are actually very large icicles.

Do the noises sound like any creature Grigor is familiar with?
Warren places a hand on his longsword and whispers something below his breath. The blade immediately shines with a bright light as a result. Warren then boldly strides into the cave, undeterred by the ominous atmosphere.

With the understanding that Warren may get a free pass to go first on the first round (as the first into the cave)...
Everyone, please roll initiative!

Wick could quite easily track the large, bloody prints if and when the party is ready to set out after whatever beast made them.
Warren's ready to go.
Caldath is sticking close to whoever is in the lead to provide cover in case they are attacked.
Grigor rather enthusiastically indicates his assent to the pursuit of the creature, his eyes shining with curiosity.
Let's do it.

Raja thinks the group should enter the cave as quietly as possible.
Stealth 18
Knowing he'll likely end up being the loudest, Caldath will hold position while the others enter.
Do the noises sound like any creature Grigor is familiar with?
Wick attempts to sneakily moves into a sneaky position following Raja
Sneakily roll a stealth check and chant "sneaky sneaky" three times!
Grigor's stealth check: 7
