And I’m glad you did. Finally got around to reading some of these Spells. I had made the assumption that Word of Recall allowed me to cast a Spell that was “gone” for the day. Needless to say, I was WAY OFF.

So these new prayers are memorized along with  a CLW and Bless. And with your WIS bonus show Gundrabu being able to cast 3 1sts and 2 2nds per day.

Gundrabu re-rolls the parchments and packs them. Lifts the hefty newfound backpack and the two adventurers leaving the slanting room and return up the tunnel to the cave opening. Cold air blows in the crag's opening from outside, filling their lungs anew with the fresh frigid air, reminding both of them suddenly just how sulfuricly toxic the inner chamber had become. 

The void remains.

The other cave entrance is accessible across the rock face, without descending to the snow where tracks would need to be wiped. Gundrabu manages with the extra pack.

Within 10 ft of the opening, Kondor repulses at the intense musk emanating from within.

With that in mind, his sword is drawn as he heads inside. He gives a warning look to Gundrabu as they head inside.

1 - Cure Lt, Cure Lt (I believe I cast Bless earlier, it’s probably expired now)

2 - Darkness, Speak with Animals

Kondor steps inside the cave opening. His lamplight shines on another natural hollow in the rock, this space at least 30 foot in diameter. The floors are covered in piles of needles from the the forest trees, though several apparent walks have been cleared toward three rear tunnels. The ceiling is domed but there is no refelective dust mural as in the cave's nearby twin.

The musk scent is extremely strong and repulsive, but its origin is not obvious. Kondor's keen ears pick up the sound of dripping water from the central tunnel.

Kondor is interested in the walks and needles.

Do the paths have any areas that look more used or cleared? I’m thinking specifically about if they are a ruse, like if the beast men have a trap under one spot they all know to avoid but intruders would step on and either fall or step on a caltrop or a rabbit snare or something.
He’s also looking for any lumps like where a lookout would hide, like in Robin Hood prince of thieves when they have blankets or buckskins covered in leaves so they can hide under when the soldiers chase them in Sherwood Forest.

Is the lantern the only light source?

The left path it is then. Kondor walks forward and takes the leftmost path.

Kondor's light leads the way to the tunnel opening on the back wall's left side. Cautiously he leads the esquimeaux through the cleared needles. The cave opening is only 5 ft high, so Kondor's stoops, craning his neck to see into the darkness. The foul smell definitely comes from this tunnel. The tunnel descends at least 10 ft over the lit 30 ft beyond the opening.

[Each roll d12 please.]
