Giving the cavern a search you find a large masterwork heavy wooden shield beneath the furs. It looks like Logbrag used it to firm up his bed. It would function as a tower shield for a human. Two sacks tossed into a corner hold 249 gold pieces, 500 silver pieces, 100 copper pieces and a week’s worth of rancid meat and hard, moldy cheese.
Let me know who wants to grab what. There is also an exit leading from the cavern, heading further into the hill.

"Yahtzee!", yells Casimir as he finishes the ogre with the final blow.

The shield is far too cumbersome for Bowen to consider using.

Bec looks with horror at the wound he delivered. He starts wiping off the blood.
"With the spear it was different. And practice, too. It was just practice, you know? Now, using the sword on a living thing. So much blood..."
Once the blade is clean, Bec looks away from the body. He shuts his eyes for a moment and when he reopens them, he wears an expression of determination.
"Okay. Sorry about that. Let's see what we have here."

"Let's divvy up the ill-gotten gains of this creature, and move forward...", offers Casimir.

You go through the 10-foot-wide, 20-foot-long exit that opens into a wide, vaulted chamber, its ceiling almost 60 feet above you. Stalactites and stalagmites dot the chamber, almost turning it into a series of smaller rooms. A small pool of water in the center of the room looks shallow but broad. The walls and rock formations here are particularly wet. They glisten by the light of Bowen’s torch. You could go to the pond or follow the cavern wall to the left or right, or anything else you might think of.

Bec waits a moment to see what his companions are thinking, but eventually just shrugs and proceeds forward.
"I won't be comfortable going around this pond until I get a closer look."
Holding his blade before him, Bec walks slowly to the pond, hoping to see what lays beneath its waters.

Casimir walks 8 ft. behind Bec, also with sword drawn. He will try to detect evil in the pool. He whispers to Bec, "Be careful, friend, we know not what evil this pool keeps..."

Bowen will follow the two young men and move up beside Bec (whichever 5' space is free).

As soon as you begin entering the chamber, four tiny, thin, emaciated creatures swoop down from the ceiling, catching you by surprise. The nasty things look like a cross between a bat and a giant mosquito. They have membranous bat wings, short furry bodies, eight jointed legs that end in sharp pincers, and needle-like proboscis.
One creature attaches itself to Bowen, one to Casimir and one to Mischa. One of the creatures attacks Bec, but fails to attach itself.
Anya’drea, Newt, Bowen, Bec and Casimir may go.

Anya’drea casts a Magic Missile at the creature attached to Mischa. The beast looks clobbered by the bolt, but hangs onto Mischa.

Newt, composing himself after getting surprised will try to move as much as he can (to get into a safer position) before taking a shot at the creature failing to attach to Bec.

Newt’s bolt misses the creature and breaks against a stalactite (3 rolled). Newt may re-load.

Ignoring the creature before him, Bec moves to the monster attacking Mischa and tries to knock it away from his friend with a carefully aimed attack with his sword.

Bowen will drop his axe and try to grab the terrifying creature and yank it off....
