However, the there's still the hole the Color was residing in, and the cave system looks like it might go on for awhile.

As the room darkens with the COS's ?demise? Jarreck's tattoo's keep a small area lit around him. Then with a bit of trepidation Jarreck lights a torch, moves over to the hole in the floor and looks in. If he is unable to see the bottom he'll use his rope to lower his hooded lantern to the bottom.
+3 more vs traps
Jarreck guesses that the hole is about 50' deep. The light of his torch doesn't penetrate that deep, but his low light vision allows him to barely see the bottom.
"And so the plot thickens....as the light dims. What strange things lurk in the dark...."
Seventeen notes Jarrack peering down the hole, she asks the Azata, "Fly down the hole then come back to tell us what you've find and then you may go."
The elf-like archer nods and disappears below the rim of the hole.
The Azata does as Seven asks and reports that there is a body left to rot down the hole, but nothing moves.
Abruptly Seventeen stares, "So there is a body below. We should investigate. Could one of you climb down using a rope? It's always possible to make you fly if needed too..."
Jarreck rappels down into the hole, which is formed from the gravel pit above. The gritty grey stone below is almost colorless, and after a moment of searching Jarreck finds the corpse.
It looks like the partially preserved corpse of a half orc. On his sleeve is a badge of rank that Jarreck instantly recognizes as belonging to the Technic League. The corpse looks as drained of color as the surroundings.
Jarreck searches the corpse, which dissolves into a grey powder as soon as he touches it. However, the inorganic materials remain....
batteries, and his spellbook (Spells 3rd Blink, Gaseous Form 2nd Darkness, Elemental Touch, Glitterdust, Invisibility, Minor Image, Resist Energy 1st Enlarge Person, Feather Fall, Hydraulic Push, Silent Image, Vanish). In addition, a timeworn robojack (4 charges) sits at the corpse's side
Seventeen regards the strange, rod-like device. In a monotone she says, "That may prove to be useful."
She flips through the spell book and mutters, "Interesting..."
"Quite the find. Though nothing special for my taste."
Mort quips in his airy form.
Before Jarreck leaves, Seventeen touches his shoulder, "One moment Jarreck, this will increase your probability of success to 85.732%." She whispers a strange spidery phrase and he vanishes!
Jarreck moves into the nearby cave and sees
This chamber is empty save for four heaps of what appears to be discarded clothing and armor, strewn out on the cave floor as if the people who'd worn it had simply laid down and evaporated away, leaving their gear behind.
flow, and water breathing), a glass vial containing an elixir
of copper dragon breath, a flashlight, a pair of veemod goggles with a green veemod installed, and a skillslot with a mark III Acrobatics skillchip still installed.
"Quite the haul." remarks Seventeen when Jarreck returns, "I should probably attempt to learn these spells."
Mort examines the vial and tries to discern its properties.
"My brother did give us one of such flashlights yes. I haven't actually used it myself as my vision in the dark is better than most lights."
Seventeen stops completely when Jarreck mentioned that, not even breathing. Suddenly she turns to him and replies, "Indeed. Perhaps for our infiltration of the silver mount."
