He kept watch above staying close to Ryssa. He also didn't want to get far. "Take a peek in the next one?" He indicated the next passage in the room with the cravase.
Seeing that Lingo and Balthazar seemed to have things in control, he decided to climb out. He could cover them as well as Luminmorn and Ryssa from above.
"Stay close, good plan", he said as he pulled himself up onto the upper level. "So there is something interesting that way", he said pointing west. "What can be seen over there", he said pointing north. "I will stay here where I can cover you =and= our friends in the crevasse."
"Good idea standing back. I would hide around the corner if I were you. If this thing sprays acid or explodes, I need you to get me to a healer."
He would do anything to help gain him advantage at grabbing a pretty gem from the chest, if there was any. Lingo Find traps (investigation to find traps, determine how to open it) Neptune rolled 1d20+3 and got 12
Lingo Slight of hand (plus advantage, if granted) Neptune rolled 1d20+4,1d20+4 and got 16, 13

Ryssa tucked her lower lip under her upper teeth for a moment and looked at Luminmorn.
"I'm going to the foot of the stairs and take a look up that northward passage," she said, "but I'm not going to open that door until the group is back together."
The cleric moved carefully to the base of the stairs and looked to the north to see what was up that way.
"Not a wise idea Ryssa", he calls. "It there is a trap or another one of those monsters waiting behind the door, we won't be in any position to help. The door will still be there when we finish here."
"The more we split up the more vulnerable we are. Watching for anyone or any thing coming up the stairs would be the best way to help until we are done in the crevasse."
Ryssa moves ahead, down the stairs to look down the northern bend in the corridor with Bern's warnings echoing in her ears. Nothing happens as she moves, and she can see that northern corridor ends after just a few feet in another door. (Ex - what is Ryssa doing?)
Lingo opens the wooden chest. It is not locked, or trapped. Inside he can see it is filled with coins. However several other items of interest immediately catch his eye. Two potion bottles and a scroll tube jut out of the pile of coins. But even more prominently, lying on top of the bed of coins is a long sword in a silver chased sheath. The hilt is worked into the shape of a bird of prey with outstretched wings.
The cleric turned and made her way back up the steps.
"Doors to the north and south. I didn't bother them."
She stood between Bern and Luminmorn, holding the light coin high to shed as much light over as large an area as she could.
"What do you think about me crossing this little bridge and checking out the passageway to the east, Bern?" She posed the question to him as he was the one who had been questioning her movements.
He just sighed. It would have served her right if the Nothic's mate had been around the corner. "And what would you have done if the monsters mate had been waiting around the corner", he asked sounding quite peeved.
But he =was= glad that she had made it back intact in spite of her reckless behavior.
