Moving back past the carcass and the group, Rodimus leads the way down the natural corridor which slopes down at a good 5-10 degree angle. Just around a small bend he sees that the cave opens up dramatically. The room that it opens to is a good 10 feet high. Opposite the corridor, a small hole exits to the south. On the north east side of the room a ledge about 8ft. off the ground leads to an area out of view. And to the east another passage exits the room. Something plant like is growing beneath the ledge though its a bit hard to make out just peaking into the room.
 

While Rodimus is taking it in, Percy and the rest approach. Percy stations herself at the entrance w/longspear at ready. She fancies herself a pikeman, and poses. "Nars," she whispers back. "Come up and have a look around!"
 

Rodimus hrmphs as he comes up to the dead end and has to backtrack. When he gets to the large room, he quickly comes to the conclusion that the creature probably is not in the hole, so it is either on the ledge or in the larger tunnel. He does not pay any attention to the plants, since it does not seem like they are of the kind that might try to kill him.
Taking a step back, the monk swiftly strides forward and leaps up to the ledge.

OoC: Can I "Take 11", so to speak, in this situation, since that's what Rodimus needs to clear an 8ft jump?
 

Rodimus bounds towards the ledge getting a good speed up to make the jump as the others file towards the room. As he approaches closer to the cliff he can tell that the small plant life is some form of fungus or mushroom. It becomes quite clear when he is within about 10ft, exactly what that fungus does as an ear piercing scream echos out from small orifices beneath the caps of the mushrooms. The noise does little but sound annoying and loud.

ooc: continuing towards the leap?
 

"Oh what it is now... we tried to stay silent, wasn't that teh plan. now that creature will know we are here. if we wanted surprise, it is wasted, no? But what does such noise? Even the crowdy Merchant Avenu is more quiet than that." tell Ridik once he hear the shrieking sound
 


"Let's move into position!" shouts Percy above the din. "Battle stations."

Percy takes her stance behind Gorefoot just inside the room, her glowing longspear over the halfling's head. She doesn't tell anyone what battle station to assume, figuring everyone here can make that decision himself.
 


Nars moves a bit to his right (west part of the cavern) into the shadowy illumination of Percy's light. He attempts to take advantage of the shadows to hide and await whatever is coming.
