It looks like Egon and Delsonora are near the cave mouth and need to roll surprise per Greywolf's OCC post. Grimnar and Kravoud are at the wagon attempting to get the unknown NPC out from under it. Trist, Weston, Therick (who has not posted), and Reywald are at the cart with Quinn and Durand providing an overwatch/rear guard.

Kravoud

[GreyWolfVT]

What the ?? Egon, Grimnar, Kravoud, & Delsenora are not super alert, but Egon and Grimnar are not surprised when a bunch of weird looking creatures almost like a gnome appear almost as if out of nowhere. The dwarves and Drow recall strange stories from their homelands of strange sort of race of gnome like creatures called spriggans. But they'd never seen them before so they aren't truly sure if that is what is coming at them in the underground tunnel. They see at least 6 of this coming at them all wielding weapons of sorts. The lead most one Kavoud notices something strange about it's shadow, the shadow looks much bigger than the creature it is coming from and this would be normal if there was a light source at the right angle but this is not the case.

Creatures:

The tunnel goes both ways up and down the road leading to where the downed tree are from what our heroes can see at the entrance with the concealed door open. 3 of these new creatures are coming at them from both sided leaving the only options for fight them from the entrance or jump in which isn't far the tunnels are only about 6 fee tall and only a few feed under the surface just enough to be sneaky but not cause collapse unless something very large walked on them. As the creatures close in on the entrance the smell of dank earth. stale sweat & grime fills your nostrils. The two lead most ones have some sort of polearm weapon the ones behind them have maces or swords, the 3rd in both lines has a spear.

One of them the one with the strange shadow speaks in the language of the gnomes "Hast entha! antha uin gôr en things! eltha um kill fi- duif fi-!" For those that speak the language it roughly translates to:

"Stop there! Give us all your things! Or we kill you where you!"

Another starts doing something muttering but you cannot hear Save vs spell for Egon & Kravoud

Quin the cart guard "What's going on up there in the woods? Hey! What's happening?" she calls out.
