Hawksley pulls his pack from his shoulder and cuts a piece of rope from his supplies. Pulling a pair of arrows from his quiver, he quickly taps one into the firmest ground he can find and and knots the rope around the arrow. He snaps the arrowhead from the other and knots the rope around the arrow shaft.
"One life-line, coming up!"
He aims just to the side of where Toots is struggling and looses the arrow...
(OOC I think I may need to roll for success here, could someone roll for me? My phone's browser doesn't have the dice roller)
Taslyn jumps from her yackle with a splash and immediately sinks to the shoulders. Luckily, Hawksley lands his line close enough for her to pull herself out of the sucking mud with his help.
The quick hands of Oethe and Elyona grab onto Toots' wrist and ponytail also freeing her from the gooey swamp sludge.

The rocks of the mountain are slick with the constant billow of steam from the top and a few side vents. The roar provides a constant hum in your ears. It looks like you could climb up the sides with only a little difficulty.
Tommary gets to just within bowshot of the figures (300 feet). He sees four gnolls looking watchful standing outside what was labeled as a "temple". The statues to Yeenoghu stand 40 feet high made of some brown and black marbled stone. The angle makes it impossible to see inside.
You feel another shudder through the ground and a momentary period of silence as the steam stops, then starts up again.
OOC: Gnolls are hyena-like humanoids. History tells of rampaging gnoll tribes sweeping through an area wiping out all life.

Tommary will hold where he is till the rest of the party comes up. I'm taking breaks from my surveillance to look back for the rest of the party and as each members comes into view I'll message them what I've seen.
OOC: I have invisibility if folks are good with me scouting even further, probably no more than getting a look at the presumed entrance these gnolls seem to be guarding.

OOC: Well then Toots says nothing of her mount. 😒 Ahem...
*Toots comes up spluttering.* “Thank you all so much for saving me!” *She then hugs Oeth and Elyona before leaning back and looking a little embarrassed. She starts to Prestidigitate them both clean, before cleaning herself as well.*
OOC again: Is Tomary seeing the Gnolls immediately after the mud pit, or is that a short time later?
*OOC If Tommary had been present, he would have found amusing that Toots' yackel was the first thing that came to her mind after a harrowing near death muck bath.

About 10 minutes later. You are all at the edge of visibility. Continuing along the curve of the mountain would be mostly in the open with only a few crevices to hide in. But the gnolls seem to pay most of their attention to the road - the obvious approach.

Tommary through whispers and hand signals explains his intention to cast [Tooltip Not Found] to get a better look at whatever the gnolls are guarding. "If I reappear, just put arrows or whatever you got into whichever of them is closest to me."
*OOC, So unless another character interrupts, I cast the spell (will check off the slot when I check back in to cofirm the game has gone this way, basically if DM narrates I got invisible, I'll tick off the slot). My initial plan is more to approach the road, so the party would have line of sight to me if I were to reappear, and just get a look at the presumptive entrance the gnolls are presumably guarding.
OOC not sure how I messed the tooltips, but the spell was invisibility, and the 21 was for Tommary's perception if I make it, again if this move is agreed by the party.

*Toots casts Message towards Tommary* ”I think that plan works for us. I won’t be able to put any arrows anywhere, but I’ll do whatever I can to help. If you want, I could distract them all for you to help your sneaky approach?”
*Tommary replies to Message"Let's just keep entertaining them with the illusion that there's no one here watching them watching out for us."
*OOC I think we're 300' from the guards, so Message will realistically be out of range from the vantage I'm trying to get. Tommary will see what he can see. If it's a basic layout, he'll sneak back to message range and report in. If there's something worth watching, he'll stay put, and if there's something worth reacting to, he'll make the call then. In the event I just get a sense of there being the guards, statues and the nature of whatever they're guarding (door, opening etc), I'll sneak back invisibly and roll a 25 on my stealth.*

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: does just Tommery see the gnolls, or does Taslyn also see them?
if she sees them:
"Erg! it's 'em filthy gnolls!" Taslyn mutters, before running 25 feet toward the gnolls, and calling upon Moradin to smite the gnolls with a blast of white light
guiding bolt. Attack: 21 Damage: 10, and on a hit, next attack roll against gnolls has advantage.
if she does not:
"what's all da commotion?" Taslyn asks. "is it magic?" she muses to herself, before casting detect magic
OOC: Just add your modifier to this: 10
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)
