Safety in numbers is good, so while waiting he will pace once around the circumference of the room sniffing around for any hidden exits the Drow might have used in the past. If these Drow are that tricky, he does not want him to somehow come at them from behind.
Once he see's that everyone is ready to go, then he will hustle over to the south door and proceed to the next room or tunnel.

Davroar survey's the room and hallway while Ryssa gathers Nundro. The bear finds no more secret doors or the like.
Meanwhile, Kriv, Jaliera and Bern stand guard as Chandan readies himself for more the hunt. Luminmorn, however, has been standing by the table where the Black Spider had held the fake Nundro with knife under neck. In his haste to depart, the drow had left his paperwork strewn about. The dragonborn tells the others, "These seem to be records of the drow's exploration of the cavern so far. And it seems he was trying to formulate a plan to get past that green skull so he could get to the Forge of Spells."
The dwarf, a commoner, is unarmored and nothing around would fit him anyway, but suddenly he shows some bravery. "Well then, let's get Nezznar," he declares.
DM Paperwork gathered, everyone lined up. The party is ready to go.
OOC: Let's see, with Davroar in bear form, sniffing the way, let's rely on everyone staying in the marching order, following him. So Dugan, you can move your token. I've made some of what's on the other side visible for you. As you move forward, and need to make a left, right or straight decision, please provide me with your bear's perception roll.
Pushing the right door open of the two doors in front of him with a paw, if nothing bad happens he will step out into the corridor and then quickly back just in case an enemy tires to shoot an an arrow at him. At the same time he will be checking which way the drow exited the room by his scent.

"I will send Whisper just ahead of you Davroar, to scout around corners and inside rooms, just in case."
Jaliera will stay close behind Davroar so that she can relay information to him. Plus she will be ready to check for traps or open locks if needed. Her bow is to hand.
DM The bear's picks up the scent making a left out of the room, then a right at the steps down, bypassing the steps that head east, likely back into the large cavern with the stream. If they follow the trail, they would head south. After 10 feet there are steps up and the corridor continues. 20 feet past the steps there will be a door to the party's left (east) and a set of steps down to their right (west). The corridor also continues further south.
OOC: I am moving the party en mass. If you want to do something different or don't like your place in the marching order, let me know. Going forward, Dugan, as you move your token, I'll move the others to keep up.
[ooc: yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I should've asked for a bunch of perception rolls. We can make it go faster too...]

Davroar leads the party down the hallway to the south and they reach the intersection. He stops there, sniffs around and then looks about. Everyone can now see that the way further south is blocked. The drow could only go left or right and Davroar is sure that he went left. But there's a door and the door is closed. At the intersection he sees steps leading down to a room. He sees water in that room.

He will pause with his nose pointed to the left and then cautiously step towards the door and start to nudge the door open with a paw. Keeping low he will then poke his nose through the door just enough to take a sniff to discover if there is any new scents other than the drow that they are following.
