Perception:
Init:
Levelle follows along, quietly, trusting her Eidolon to let her know if anything is amiss or to shield her from danger...
The unnatural creature stalks in front of Levelle but notices little as they travel.
"Lw'nafh kadishtu." Sana muttered softly as they arrived at someplace new. Someplace... interesting. It was almost habitual, really, but the quiet, cloaked girl didn't really feel like taking any chances at the moment.
Not that her quick overview of the area was turning anything up. But then, their dwarven companion was probably a much better source of information on the underground anyway, and she glanced in his direction. Those bones were... slightly worrying. But they'd just woken up, so whatever had happened here was... probably unrelated to whatever was going on up above. Probably.
Seeing nothing, Goron walks forward, hammer in hand shield at the ready.
He approaches the Campfire to examine the torn bedroll hoping to glean some clues as to how long it had being last used.
Two giant Cockroaches rush out of the trash pile straight for Goron!
One of the roaches slam into Goron's shield, but he manages to brace himself and absorbs the blow.

Goron feels a weight slammed into him but his dwarven fortitude and his trusty shield served him well. Seeing his foe, he bangs his shield once and then swings his hammer down hard over his shield.
"Hold fast I shall, By Torag's will I Stand!! Come at Me!!!"
Sana squeaked in surprise as a number of large bugs swarmed out and headed right for their dwarven leader. It didn't take her very long to react, though, and she already had her stone in her hands... "Lw'nafh ph'geb!" the girl chanted, focusing her thoughts into the rock. One of the bugs seemed like it was close enough for her to strike, even if this spell was of... well... limited utility. The rock shot forward a moment later, though, heading into the melee.
The girl winced. She really needed to practice with this some more.
The rock sails on and thuds into Goron's shoulder. He turns and upons seeing it.
"Torag's blessings upon me!! Foul Creatures!! The stones will ensure my victory."
Levelle urges Cao to engage while the tiefling advances forward, longspear in hand and try to attack the insects from behind the safety of her eidolon.
The summoner flails about almost meaninglessly with her spear.
The eidolon darts around the paladin with a swift step and snaps with its strong beak at the insect on the warriors right.
With one bug wounded and the other dead, no threat is posed. The attack that is made against Cao doesn't even make contact with the beast.
Tomas waves his hand and a blue glowing dart appears for a second before streaking unerringly to strike the remaining bug.
Damage:
With the last roach dead the room is now safe to survey.
Goron looks around intently for any more enemies and only when he sees none he relaxes somewhat.
"Hah. Another battle won! We need to keep this up and make sure no one else gets hurt. looking around to check on everyone else. Is anyone hurt? If no, let's search this place. There could be something of value to us."
Levelle nods at the dwarf and pokes around.
The eidolon sniffs about as his master looks around.
In the junk pile you are able to find three candle stubs, a bent fishhook, 10 feet of badly frayed rope, and a copper brooch depicting a bat with purple gemstones for eyes, sitting on a mushroom.
Several mounds of rock lie in heaps in this cavern, recently fallen from the walls and ceiling. Now and then, bits of dust settle from the cracks in the stone above.
Tomas cries out and points,
"Look out! A snake!"
Sana looked over as Tomas shouted, and a part of her wanted to try throwing another rock, but after the disastrous first attempt, the sensible part of her thought it would be a bad idea to try again so soon. Still, she really needed to ask her gods for something that would make her more useful at times like this... In the meantime, the girl edged backwards a bit to give the others more room to maneuver.
Levelle turns to the warning but is slow to act...
Cao is not fast enough to respond...
Spotting the snake, Goron gives warning. Seeing the snake about to strike.
"'Ware Snake"
the viper strike at Goron...
But flies past him.
Goron spies something flying at him and retailates swiftly, bringing his hammer down hard.
Their wonderful dwarven defender seemed to have things under control, for which Sana was profoundly thankful. Rather than distract him with another badly-thrown rock, she turned her attention to the rest of the chamber, searching for any other threats.
Tomas starts to ready another energy dart, but seeing the dwarf slam the viper into the dirt, he relaxes and also looks about the chamber.
Perception:
Levelle spits and splays out her hand at the snake.
The eidolon rushes at the beast, sharp beak snapping at the viper.
With the snake being crushed and then burned, the room is now sat. All the searching in the world doesn't reveal anything. The only new path is forwards.
If you'd like now Goron we can take a step back and you can explore that room. I'll just assume that any actions you take in there happened before you leave.
Goron will defintely like to explore that room.
Tomas will also join Goron in exploring the room
Sana quietly retrieved her rock and focused her will as she spoke a short phrase.
Renewed light began to illuminate the area and ensure that there was plenty of visibility for the others. It was the least the quiet, hooded girl could do for everyone else.
Levelle follows quietly.
As far as loot goes you find the following in the campsite:Torn bedroll, three candle Stubs (30 min each)a bent fishhook, 10 feet of badly frayed hemp rope, and a copper brooch depicting a bat on a mushroom with purple gemstones for eyes.
Aside from this loot, what would you like to search for Goron and Thomas?
Tomas also cast light, bringing more illumination to the area.
Goron would like to search the area below aka the area not searched yet.
He'll stow the rest of the stuff.
Sana quietly sat down as the others searched the area, huddling into her cloak as she wrapped her arms around herself. Her glowing stone had been placed right in front of her, and for now, she seemed entirely content to wait... but she wasn't talking much, either.
Seeing Sana withdrawing, Tomas walks over to the girl.
"Are you alright? We will get out of here, do not fear."
Sana jumped slightly as the spell-caster approached her. "I-I'm fine. I'm sure the g-gods will see us through this." she said - but there was an undeniable nervousness to her tone. Of course, considering their current situation, perhaps that was to be expected. She flinched as an ominous crack sound came from behind her, then scooted a little farther from the wall.
You can find nothing more in this room.
Taking a deep Breath, the dwarf once more brings up his arms and stretches before moving onwards purposefully.
They have an exit to find!!!!
Levelle pets Cao and asks him to join the dwarf as they move on.
Tomas stays near Sana to make sure she is ok.
The mage hadn't responded, so Sana quietly watched as their reliable dwarven guide searched the area... and, when he moved onwards, she glanced at the others and moved to follow him. She had yet to lower her hood, preferring to hide within the folds of her cloak for now.
