"It looked like someone is triggering that trap. Maybe I could sneak up and take him out with my bow?"

She makes the offer and waits to see what the others think.

Kriv

"Two-pronged offensive. I'll take this chimney, anyone else of like mind likewise. Stealth might work where rushing as we just tried failed, worth a shot."

He headed towards the climbable passage up.

"Whatever we do, we need to stick together." She says. "We have no idea if the chimney and the tunnel ever connect."

Dash is a double move but uses a standard action. So, if you can move 30, you move 60 but forego your attack.

He replied,

"Bridge over the tunnel. If nothing else we can give covering fire."

"Kallista's right. Plus, we know already we're outnumbered, splitting up is asking for more trouble if you ask me."

He picks up one of the chains that kept the wolves tied up.

"I'm game for going up the chimney. Whoever's the better climber should go first and then can help the rest up using the chains, unless someone has some rope?"

Kriv

He tapped the hempen coil secured to the side of his pack.

"Never set out into the wilderness without it."

One quick look around the various soft-skinned sentients, and he elected to go first, methodically seeking handholds to pull himself up by main force.

"I have rope too if more is needed."

She looks at the chimney wondering if this is the best way to go. Won't they be expecting them to try this?

"If we are going this way then we'd better remove the arrow traps we set here first."

She kneels down and starts moving the arrows from the debris.

THe skill check for climbing is a Strength check. That's the major change in 5e. For most everything you just roll d20 against one of the 6 prime stats.

So, who's climbing and in what order?

Kriv will lead the way: He's the strongest and thus the best climber. Does proficiency apply?

After the first pc goes up and leaves a rope for the others is there a bonus, Advantage, etc for those who follow?

Kriv climbing
AJ rolled 1d20+3 and got 21

Presuming proficiency doesn't apply. If it does, 23.

I will grant proficiency.
I will grant advantage.
But we will stop and wait after the first person goes up. Does Kriv see in the dark? If not, he might not be the best choice to go first - regardless of strength. Just sayin...

Unless I misread him, the DM seems to be implying taking a light source up is not the best idea. Kallista could go. She is fairly stealthy. But her climbing is nothing to write home about.

Karok Battlehammer

"Unless someone has magic to silence the noise of my armor, I'd make a lousy scout. But I can make the climb easier for another if that would help someone else make their way up there." he said looking at Kriv.

[ooc: Can cast Guidance to add 1d4 to a check. Not much but it might help]

She nods at Karok. "I can go take a quick look around and anchor a rope behind me. Anything you can do to help me climb is appreciated."

She stands there nervously awaiting her turn, not at all sure if she can make it. But she will try, hopefully someone will help.

Zeim, what I'm implying is that if someone without the ability to see in the dark goes up there and is attacked, he will be fighting blind and will not be able to assist others to come aid him. Is that what you want to do?

Davroar

He will position himself to be the second to last to make the climb. Of average strength himself, he does not want to fall and will probably be slower than most.

Kriv

"They might have it guarded, the climber could be vulnerable."

He tapped his armor with a talon.

"Some less than others. I do agree it looks dark up there. That in mind..."

He removed a second torch from his pack, lit it from Chandan's, clamped the safe end in his draconic jaws, and made ready to ascend.
