He looked up from his spell book having finished preparing a new spell. Closing it and putting it back in his bag, he stands.
"I am ready whenever you are. I don't think either approach is the best option. Each with risks. The water route being the risk itself. Too bad we don't have time for me to find a familiar. But, wait. There might be another way." Pavel says looking at Davroar.
"I can cast Invisibility on you. As long as you don't attack anything you should be fine."

A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell. .
[ooc: So have we seen any frogs around in this swamp, or can I assume Davraor has seen one somewhere along the way travelling from his home in Narfell ?]
He considers Pavel's offer, but then thinks if there is any sort of encounter that would reveal him being an invisible frog, it would raise more suspicion than just a normal curious frog looking for its next meal.
"Ok, I'll go ahead as a large frog. No need for invisibility, as I'll stay underwater and just poke my head up occasionally. I won't go too far and will come back soon as I can."
Knowing he only can do two wild-shapes without resting he adds, "If I feel I can continue to explore further as a frog, I won't revert back to my human form. Just ask questions and I'll blink my eyes twice for yes, once for no."
Davroar figures if anyone wants a more complete description of what he finds when he gets back, then he will have to return to his human form.
Without wasting any more time, he will shift into a giant frog, and leap into the water and starts swimming against the current heading into the cave.
As he swims, he will stick to the lower cooler depths of the water at times if he finds the water temperature is affecting him. So far it seems he is fine as he reaches what seems to be the main central chamber of the cave where he finds the fire giant and a single troll.
Not wanting to go any further than necessary, he will swim back, making better speed with the current with him. Surfacing at the waters edge, he leaps out and lots out a croak to his friends.
The stream did extend beyond the main chamber so he will remain in his frog form just in case they want him to go further.
She is often in the role of scout and understands the risks it carries. However it is one thing doing it yourself and another when someone you love is taking the risk. She is so relieved to hear that croak.
She kneels down before him whilst Whisper is on overwatch.
"You are a very handsome frog you know?"
And watches for the blink, not sure if she'll get a 'yes' or a 'no'.
He knows he is fairly good looking guy, but as a frog Davroar feels a lot less handsome. Giving Jaliera a single blink, he would if he could roll his eyes at the embarrassing question in front of everyone.
Once Jaliera starts asking her questions he will blink:
The cleric ponders whether Davroarfrog will blink or hop to answer the counting questions, since it wasn't discussed. He does wait until those questions are answered before posing one of his own. "Did any of the creatures notice you were there?"
He listened on as the frog that is Davroar is interrogated watching the bulging eyes blink repeatedly. His companions had asked the most important questions so far and he had nothing to offer so let it play out. he Possibly the most important question is the one from Zindra. He stares at the eyes ready to count blinks. The more eyes counting the better he believes.
He is going to need some eyedrops after all of these questions.
Blinks once for "How many giants were there?"
Blinks once for "How many trolls were there?"
One blink (No) to answer Aubric's question "Did any of the creatures notice you were there?" Davroar feels he was not seen at all, but he can't be one hundred percent certain of that.
Zhu's first question on spotting the hear source is a bit of a guess by Davroar, but he blinks twice (Yes) going by past experience with the runes that have found so far. He blinks twice (Yes) for Zhu's second question.
He is not sure how to answer Jaliera's questions with just a yes or no answer, as he would be making some rather big assumptions he would rather not do. If a frog can shrug his shoulders he would to show his indecisiveness.
