"Captain, we could follow it but I doubt we could catch it and it isn't our objective."
Aye. Lets get our crew.
As Xantrius speaks, a shrill scream comes from the western passageway that the creature has just retreated down. The scream sounds almost human- female and human. Having never heard Sandara Quinn or Barefoot Samms Toppin scream you can't say if it is one of them but apart from yourselves it's the most human sign you've had since setting foot on this accursed island so many hours ago.
You all feel a surge of strength at the prospect that your objective may soon be attained.
