I will spend a few minutes outside of the tunnels enchanting weapons as I did last time.
"Right then, let's reverse patterns again, right hand rule on the way in."
I'll approach the women fighters loaned to us. "Are any of you seasoned scouts and willing to venture ahead with some assistance?"
Out of Character: Same formation I think, no reason to change that I'm aware of. Bane: Goblinoids going on mine, Jonathan's, and Rachel's weapons.
Loot distribution for now, and yes this is up for debate: 3 aid pots (1 each to Rachel, Grant, Jonathan), 8 DV pots (1 each to party and young elf followers), +2 prot ring (Jonathan), feather fall ring (Undetermined, probably Rachel for safekeeping), invisibility ring (Thomas). 5x CLW scroll (Jason), 5x CMW scroll (Rachel), 5x Mmissile scroll (Grant) and 5x Burning Hands scroll (Grant). 4x fireball scroll (Jason), 2x Clear Spindle Ioun (Storage unless someone doesn't like eating and wants to claim), Pale Blue Ioun (Grant), Pearl White Ioun (Rachel), Composite longbow (Qwantithalica), Composite Shortbow (Grant).

Feeling the wave of energy that helps deflect blows was another new sensation for Jonathan after putting on the ring. "Hm, potions, do they taste as good as they do in the movies?" Jonathan said sarcastically taking one of the dark vision vials.
I nod, "Very well. Unfortunately, we do not have enough Darkvision potions for everyone. Unless you were issued with some as well? If comfortable with the role, I would ask you to hang back a bit as a vanguard, so your torches don't announce our approach. Either group should be ready to assist the other."
Out of Character: good to know, but they're going to the same person, so no tearing needed. I presume they're all standard CL?
Out of Character: Not saying Rachel does not need the dark vision potion, I thought being a Druid, she would naturally be able to see in the dark. Looked in PHB, and didn't see anything about her being able to see in the dark, so nvm. If my torch was a oil lamp instead, would keep light as low as possible. I misread your post Jason, my bad.
In Character: I drink the dark vision poison, feeling the effects rather quickly and how things look different in black and white and how I can see at the same time. I think to myself, cool now maybe I can hit better with my ray and crossbow and mace if it comes down to melee. I will hang back as much as I can; crossbow at the ready and mace within grasp as I follow the others up the North tunnel.

The people with dark visions potions drink them as they head inside. The potion has a sharp taste of carrots. You can see in the dark now but only in black and white no color. You head in to the first T and head right then up to the first four way intersection and head left as Rachel remembers where she went and tells everyone that up ahead is another four way intersection. Soon you can see it up ahead and Ghost is growling low in his throat. As you get to the four way intersection do you wish to go right, straight or left?
The six ellven guards stay back with a hooded lantern that shows very little light towards the front. They ca see you and keep track of you without giving away your presence. The map has been updated for the north tunnel and the four way intersection you are at.

Once he drinks the potion Jonathan is immediately disoriented but adjusts to the new tones. "I've seen so many black and white movies that I should be used to this, but I'm not sure if I ever will. Do we have a way to cancel this if we need to?"
Out of Character: I don't stop the parties movement for this conversation.
