DM Water floods down the tunnel and overcomes Karok and Kriv. The dwarf and dragonborn are swept away, out of the cavern. The rest of you manage to get out of the way of the flood. Jaliera, Chandan and Kalista rush into the wolf den and safety while Davroar tries to outrun the flood. His feet find every level and dry spot as he races down the tunnel. When the water finally reaches him it flows over his back but he manages to keep his footing and somehow manages to avoid the tumbling dwarf and dragonborn. By some stroke of luck, he deftly dances away from both and reaches a soft patch of grass as he dives to his left and out of harms way.
Kriv and Karok take 4 pts damage, knocked prone. Note that standing up costs you half your movement, rounded down.
Also, I kinda screwed up by not describing things clearly but you guys roleplayed according to plan. I should have said that because they were too far away from a safe place, Kriv and Karok had to make strength checks to grab onto something and hold on, but that everyone else could attempt a dex check to duck into one of the side passages. Well guess what, Kriv and Karok rolled strength and needed to overcome a DC 15. The rest of the PC's rolled dex and needed a 10. BTW, had any of the dex rolls failed you would have had another opportunity to roll a DC 15 strength check. Davroar didn't duck into a side passage, but that was a Nice roll

The Dragonborn braced himself against the waterlogged ground and rose, wiping a thin trickle of blood from his muzzle where it had struck a rock on the way out. He shook his arm and maul free of water and mud, and began advancing purposely back into the cave.
"Not the sort of thing you can trigger twice in quick succession. Hit them while they try something else, don't give them time. Come on!"
The water hit him hard, tossing him backwards, rolling and floundering. When he finally stopping moving, looking up at the blue sky he spat out water and let out a long series of expletives in dwarven.
He got back up and started back inside a veritable thundercloud on his face. It seemed the dwarf was far from amused.
[ooc: He'll go back to leading unless someone else started forward.]
Having outrun the water and finding temporary safety in the wolf den with Jaliera and Chandan, she sighs as she sees Kriv, Karok, and Chandan move back out into the hallway. She glances at Jaliera, "I really don't want to go through that again. After you." She gestures with her open hand for Jaliera to precede her following the rest.
DM So the adventurers regroup and decide to try and quickly get back to dealing with the goblins before they can reset the trap or otherwise get ready. Back in the marching order, with Karok and Kriv up front and the light in the back, they proceed back up the tunnel.
I need another group perception check vs DC 10 Goblin stealth Neptune rolled 1d20+6 and got 10
As you start to march back up the tunnel you notice, for just a scant moment, a goblin on the bridge now. Before you can react, he's gone. You start hearing noises. You've heard the same noises before. BANG-BANG-BANG... The last time you heard those noises, they were followed by a flood.
Having waited to take up the rear, and hearing the same noises that preceded the flood last time begin again, AND knowing that the Wolf cave was safe the last time, she quickly ducks back into it and waits.
"Nine hells take all goblins. Back to the wolf den."
He reversed course, headed for the alcove in which the others had sought refuge prior. If he made it, he was going to silentlypoint at the concealed chimney.
He is jogging up to the others when he saw everyone jumping to the side again. He didn't need another bath so he moved off to the side. Karok Avoid DM Nastiness Nivek rolled d20-1 and got 14
He can't believe it is possible to rebuild the same amount of water that came at them before so fast. Still hearing the banging again, he will run back to the wolfs den like the others.
On hearing the sound she pivots on one leg and heads back to the wolves' cave. She does watch though to see if the water does come. If the trap is resettable, there must be a big water source, perhaps an underground lake or river. These goblins are quite ingenious.
She is already thinking ahead, wondering whether the best plan might be for her to creep forward and fire on the big goblin before he can spring the trap.
Once she sees if the water does come, she will suggest this to the others.
DM This time you were prepared for the flood. As you rush into the side passages the floods came. You all manage to avoid it and after a few moments you knew that you were all safe in the wolf den.
