"It is not wise to be by yourself. I will guard with you," Jakardos looks at Shalelu. "Vale and Kaven lead the party to the waterfall. The rain and overcast skies should help. Go when the sky if fully dark. " It is obvious that Jakardos is used to leading.
Unless there are other elements to the plan, everyone give me a Stealth check.

The party, though clumsy and making way too much noise, still manages to not be detected by the Ogres at Fort Rannick. The party makes its way to the pond.
What once might have been a crystal-clear mountain lake has become an abattoir. Partially butchered and mutilated bodies—some human, some horse, some giant eagle—lie sprawled along the shore. A waterfall plummets from the cliffs to the west into the pool, which keeps much of the water clean save for near the shores where the dead lie thick.
The party passes through cascades of falling water and upon soggy planks that lead into a cave. The floor of this cave is dotted with puddles. Patches of pale moss and fungus grow in sheets on the wall, while to the north, a five-foot-wide passageway angles up into darkness. Thankfully, there were no traps or creatures in the cave.
Map is up at top. The scale is really small, so you will need to zoom in on it. What does the party do next?

Looking at the carnage Electra looks at the others."We have to gather the corpses and say some prayers!"
Looking at stone any hint of smiles are gone from her eyes and it is clear that the elf has just put herself on the warpath!
"It is only by good fortune that we made it to here undetected. We can gather the dead after we secure the fort." Vale says in a matter-of-fact manner.

Yes we shall honor the fallen by first removing there killers. Then we shall return and put there remains to rest.
Stone draws his sword says a short prayer and nods to the Rangers to lead on.
Once inside the caves and past the waterfall, who heads up into the darkness. It is near total, so if you don't have Darkvision, you will need a light.
Flynn mumbles a quick spell, as the group enters the darkness he puts his hand to the silver symbol hanging from his neck Milady...Please grant your servant cloaked in darkness a means to pierce the veil. A blueish glow begins to emanate a bright light,That should help a little
Flynn cast the light spell , since we need light...
As Brandark leads down the scary dark cave, he sees it opening up into a larger cavern. When he notices a lizard on the cave floor, it is too late. A wave of shocking energy flows through the front of the party.
Only Brandark and Garrath are close enough to be affected. Both must make a DC16 Reflex Save or take 63 points of damage. 31 points of damage if you save. This is worse than a trap.
Elektra will know that these are Shocker Lizards. When grouped together they can combine their energies to deliver quite a shock. Individually, they are not very harmful. But in numbers, they are a force to be reckoned.
The Shocker Lizard's electric shock is a Supernatural ability of these magical creatures.
Vale drops his bow, then moves up to the nearest Shocker Lizard drawing his battleaxe. He smiles and hacks at one of the Lizards. But his battleaxe glances off the Lizards slimy hide.
The other Black Arrow, Kaven Windstrike, follows behind. When he sees Vale's hack miss, he fires an arrow at the Lizard. But the bow is not Kaven's best weapon.
GMPC Flynn Flynn can see the first lizard, he rapidly fires a pair of arrows at the reptile. The first arrow skipped off the lizard's hide. The second one barely sticks.
GMPC Flynn Flynn can only see one of the Lizards clearly, he fires an arrow at it. The arrow strikes the 1st lizard he see. The reptile fall unconscious. Flynn moves in behind Garrath.
Vale steps over the now unconscious lizard to get at another one of the lizards. Two lizards snap at the approaching Black Arrow. One gets a bite into the Fighter-Ranger's leg.
Kaven moves to the back corner of the cave. His eyes widens as he sees six more lizards approaching. He fires an arrow at one from the new pack. It sticks into the lizard's moist hide.
Five more lizards move up, as the eighth lizard lags from an arrow in its leg. A new wave of electrical energy emits from this second approaching pack.
Kaven, Flynn (Sorry about this), Garrath and Vale must make DC15 Reflex Saves or take 41 points of damage. 20 points if you save. There is one less lizard in this attack than the previous one, so the save is one less.
Many apologies for my sudden re-disappearance, should've said something before now honestly. i've been having a variety of issues to keep it short...Ummm, so what the short of what's going on? once again, sorry....life get's busy sometimes
Welcome back Flynn. What would you like your character to do? Sorry about trying to kill him off. Just kidding. I really wasn't trying to kill him off. It just worked out that way.
for future reference if i ever disappear like that again, it happens from time to time with how life can be. just assume i attack with my bow during combat. but yeah i'm just going to put my distance from the chaos and attack, i like to use simple tactics. But yeah, no problem big damage happens
