Hornet can try to add one more load of wet leaves now that the web is down and more smoke can get in.  Not sure if anything more than another 10 minutes is worthwhile   We have lost surprise unless we back away and watch the opening and attack tomoorrow when they think we are gone

@Nimu

There seems to be enough smoke in the tunnel now, so maybe Soledad could switch to Dancing Lights to reveal any enemies in the cave now?

Otter Gossip

Boris . . . is in the neighborhood. 

There is a bit of stuff to do with the Vargolg that has nothing to do with Boris beyond his helping you find the place.  After that?  Well, it depends on how things go.  You have a way to contact him, so, perhaps.  

New post coming soon whether everyone posts or not.  I don't like leaving some people standing around slackjawed while action happens.

A breath of fresh air

So, the goblins now know we're in the tunnel so does it really matter about the smoke hiding us? Maybe it would be better if Soledad used her prestigination spell (is that the right name?) to blow the smoke back outside to save us from potentially being poisoned? What do you guys think?

Sounds Good

Dok does not have any appropriate spells to deal with the smoke

Solidad could keep blowing it inward in front of us

Prestidigitation is a cantrip

I don't normally offer advice for players, but in this case Soledad would know all about her own cantrip.  Prestidigitation is a cantrip.  Cantrips are not very powerful - it can crete a wide variety of very minor effects.  The wind effect reads as follows:

• You create an Instantaneous, harmless sensory Effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor.

A "puff of wind" is not much.  The only reason it worked to blow smoke into the cave is that she cast it over and over and over for more than 15 minutes.  Essentially by now she has cast more than 150 puffs of air.  Doing the spell in the opposite direction would eventually clear the air, but it would take another 15 minutes or so.  By that time you would be unconscious from smoke inhilation.  Likewise pushing it ahead of you won't clear it the air.  It MIGHT help enough to give a bonus on saving throws after a couple of turns.  

Visibility at the moment is 10-20' without an outside source of light.  With the dancing lights you can see a bit better than that.  Presumaby the goblins see a bit less.  And things in the area of the lights will be somewhat lit up for those looking at them, but they will be looking through smoke towards the lights.  Clearly you had a little warning from the goblins in this case, but not a massive advantage.

So maybe we back out and wait a bit.  If the smoke cannot clear the goblins might have to exit

Our plan has literally gone up in smoke lol.

And yeah, I'm with Keeper. I think we should go back out of the cave and into clean air. I don't like the prospect of being poisoned and potentially losing conciousness and becoming goblin food haha.

Who's with me?
