Out of Character: : I'll see about adding a Perception check as well, to that not too shabby 20 Stealth check.
Also, though I know I really shouldn't let it bother me, I have to say all the compliments people are giving Lia are getting to me a little bit. Still, I know no harm is meant by such.
Out of Character: You are just jealous that Lia is cuter that your drow? Or that she has made herself a good leader?
In Game: Cratol was planning to go to the left but only if the lizardfolk were with him.

Out of Character: Fay is at the intersection waiting on the rest of the group. He didn't want Cratol up here alone in case someone, or worse, something decided to come down the hall. [By The Way], he never said he was rushing down the hall at full speed. Let's not write actions for each other… well, other than minor stuff like a reaction to a joke.
"Bout time ye all got up here. Cratol has scouted the intersection but no further. Shall we see what be beyond?"

The group notices a couple of old runes in the walls. Closer inspection reveal that they're simple wards, designed to repel water and most vegetation. These tunnels are nearly bone dry as a result, in spite of being underwater in a swamp. The runes look to be centuries old at least, probably put in place by whoever dug the tunnels to begin with.
As the group's scouts approach the intersection, faint voices can be heard to the north. There is also an oddity on the floor, heavy wagon or cart ruts are dug into the hard packed soil. Passing through the intersection from left to right, or vice versa.
Snapjaw and 3 other lizardfolk move up to the scouts, the rest follow a bit behind the main group. Snapjaw waves at the wall to the east and quietly says. "Our people kept in egg chamber, that way. Both turns take us there. Not know where enemy."
Out of Character: note: I will not be trying to update everyone's position on the map all the time. Also, in regards to Jack's dashing maneuvers, you don't have to worry about how far you move in a round until combat ensues, just go where you will.

Oswald closely inspects the ruts, attempting to determine how long it took to dig them. He will also look over the area and try to find remnants of whatever was being carried.
He tells Jake; "I'll aid in the gathering in just a moment. I've been in many abandoned and no longer abandoned mines, you always want to know what kind of mine you are dealing with; or if the carts are being used to haul something else."

Zarra will wait for a decision to be made, the drow looking to Lia to ask, "Which direction should we go? Since she was neither a member of SIlver Blaze nor in a position to offer her thoughts. Especially because of the problems the last time she involved herself.

Lia listens to Zarra and considers for a moment." Jack just left following after Cratol and the others. Catch up with him and he will give you further instructions. He is over the scouts now."
She grins at Poljen." Thank you for always backing me. It means a great deal coming from you."

Jack looks at the cart tracks scratching its head: "Well, it sure looks like they don't keep their slaves idle, that much is clear !", then turning to Cratol and Fay: "Looks like it's sneaky-scouty time, crew! I thought maybe I could get myself useful for a change but looks like you two beat me to it this time… Fast feet you got there, Karate Kid, by the way… I bet it comes in handy, too, just make sure you don't land yourself in some trouble with that: I could hear your steps echoing 10 paces off !", he winks at the monk good-naturedly before continuing:
"Okay gang, just for heads-up, our Beloved Leader here just put me in charge of scouting, so listen up: we'll have 2 teams of 2 scouts each in each direction to see what's what. Since we don't know what sort of things are in wait, from now on we should try to be as discrete and careful as possible, so let's plan this carefully… Oz and I will go north, Fay and Zarra south. Whatever happens, DO NOT ENGAGE unless you're discovered. If discovered, don't stand your ground or put yourselves at risk, attempt to fall back here where the rest of the group can ambush whatever's after you… Oh, and yes: DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING !". He smiles satisfyingly after his little speech and puts his hands on his hips: "Okay, I guess that's it. Shall we do this then ?"
