(OOC - Alix would understand a little more of the conversation with Deep Speech, but it follows a similar vein - they were left there to guard some crates of stuff they don't think is important while the others took the slaves further on.

Alix listens, and hears the familiar intonations of the alien words he has made himself at home with.
“Hmm, yes, their words have meaning. They are upset that they are forced to guard some equipment, instead of moving with whatever slaves were taken by others. Low level servants of whatever master they follow no doubt. Give me a moment to see if I can decipher more.”
He opens his tome, which now appears to be made of smooth black oiled leather, and for the next ten minutes whispers words similar to what can be heard down the tunnel as he waves his hand over blank pages almost as if he were writing, and casts Comprehend Languages to understand more of what they are saying.
The conversation ebbs and flows for a couple of minutes more, and at one point the two stop talking.
As part of casting the spell, there is a verbal component, and you are in an otherwise quiet tunnel that would echo and enhance even a small sound given the right opportunity. A moment after the two stop talking, you all hear "Shhh... you hear something?" then the two voices fall quiet once again, though you hear a soft pat-pat as they move slowly to another spot to listen carefully.
Thavriol points down the hall, makes a circular gesture to indicate the group, gestures down the hallway, then looks the question at each of the others.
Sienna slowly puts a hand over Alix's mouth and brings a finger to her lips
Ooc: What sort of ground are we on, is it solid? And secondly could I make some sort of check to see if Sienna thinks whether the tunnel would survive the use of a spell like thunder wave etc?

Nolla just continues standing there, holding up her lit torch. She frowns at the strange gestures though, not exactly sure what plan is being suggested.
The paladin shakes his head, repeats the gestures with a little more urgency, then begins moving down the hallway, being as stealthy as he can, which is not much, his eyes and ears peeled.

The ground in here is reasonably solid, dirty and dusty, but solid. Describe how Sienna checks the tunnel as you creep forward and roll the associated check.
EDIT:
As Thavriol and Sienna creep forward, Thavriol can't quite ascertain where exactly the two creatures are around the corner. Their silence is disconcerting, and unnerving as you creep forward, unsure of what or where the creatures are.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: I would say that she tries to investigate the walls and ceiling for any cracks or see if she can see any evidence of supports which have been placed or removed, if that's okay Investigation is: 17

There aren't any support beams or such that you would expect from a mine or manmade tunnel, though as you look at the walls and floors of the tunnel you don't see any discernible cracks or damage that would lead you to believe that the tunnel would collapse given a concussive blast such as thunder wave.
As you move slowly down the tunnel towards the corner, you hear the pat-pat as the creatures seem to move again as one voice says "Maybe a hatchling found some food?". But just as they say this, Alix gets a little too close to Sienna and trips on her tiefling tail, thudding on the floor. You hear a low growl from around the corner.
(OOC - Let's say you're about 15-20ft from the corner. Thavriol would be closest, with Sienna and Alix behind. Nolla was holding back with the torch so as not to throw light around the corner to give away your position.)

Alix stay silent as he waits to see what the fighters have planned.

Nolla lets the paladin get a bit ahead of her, as she figures the light she carries will give them away if she moves too quickly behind them.
Sienna follows suit following behind Thavriol encouraging Alix to come with her but allowing him not to if he resists
