Obahi steps up, crouching down again and joining his hands to form tearing fangs from his fingers. He thrusts them into the snake's body to rip it apart.
Niall moves to get a clear shot at the creature...scooping up rocks as he goes.
Obahi moves in, hits it twice, obliterating it.
You now have two paths you can take. Southwest or East.
"Does anyone of you know where these lead?" Obahi looks at the collective of survivors. "Where are we going? Which way to the surface?"
He wipes his hands into his clothing as he looks around curiously.
"You think I know? I'm from the Deadshot Lands, I have no idea where we are besides underneath Kenabres!" Clearly a little agitated about this suddenly happening to what was supposed to be a celebration, Solras sighs to herself. "Any of y'all know which way is which?", the ruffled Amurrun says to the rest of the group of survivors.
Virgil nods at the obliterated snake.
Well either direction is better than just staring at each for inspiration. Amyone know what lies above in either direction?
Aravashnial says, "I've heard of tunnels beneath Kenabres, but no one has accessed them for generations."
Anevia shrugs her shoulders and comments, "I've not even heard of those tunnels. But tunnels and parts of old cities are common in established cities."
Horgus Gwerm glares at Anevia and spits out, "How should I know. I'd never come to such places." He brushes off his cloak and continues, "If you folk can get me out of here and safe, you can get a reward."
"I say we head southwest so that we only need to worry about danger coming from one direction." says Avenger.
"I'm all for that," the Amurrun mercenary replies. "Here's to hoping for a speedy exist from these tunnels!"
"Right. Nobody knows this place. Cool. Do we put a hand on one wall while we walk and make marks on the walls or floor? I have no idea whether this is some sort of ancient labyrinth or not."
Virgil nods at the Sage advice given by Obahi.
Good idea!
The Magus then casts Prestidigitation then he colors an arrow-shaped spot on the southwestern wall.
I've lived in Kenabres for years. Let me see...which way to the surface?
I can't seem to remember...let's take the one Virgil marked
In this part of the cavern, a stone ledge juts out at a right angle on the south wall of this cavern, fourteen feet off the ground. The leather strap of a backpack hangs from the edge of the ledge, while above, a narrow fissure yawns up into the dark.
It looks like the ledge is climbable, but, it might be a bit difficult.
Virgil walks amongst the rubble strewn about, the Orc's earthbreaker laying on his shoulder.
Anyone feel like springing that trap up there?
The Magus just waits for whomever volunteers.....
"Boost me up and I'll check it out."
The rocks are slippery enough that Avenger of the Green is unable to climb up to the ledge.
Virgil attempts to Aid Avenger!
The Orc just lifts the leshy higher up.
Solras starts to climb up to the ledge in front of her, putting the Harmona on its usual sling for storage while she climbs. "I'm up for it, potentially!" She takes a look over to make sure nothing is going to come out and kill her before preceding, however.
The backpack contains two weeks of rations, a flint and steel, a set of caltrops, two flasks of oil, a bundle of 12 arrows, a Minor Healing Potion, and a Potion of Restoration.
Your sole remaining route is east past the cavern where you fought the cave viper (A4).
After traveling the winding route for about 1,900 feet (at a speed of 15 feet through the rough cavern passages, this takes about 25 minutes to navigate), you reach the tunnel’s end at a junction.
To the north, a 5-foot-wide opening in the wall leads into a cave filled with soft but nasty-looking green light—the tunnel itself continues
south.
Which way do you go? North or South?
"Oh, we're already circling around." Obahi mumbles to nobody in particular when they stumble upon the viper again. "Right. Hand on the wall..." he puts his left hand on the cave wall and starts moving down the cave.
At intersections, he spills some water on the floor to find out which way is up. (If possible.)
Virgil uses Prestidigitation to again mark the new passage.
Obahi seems to know what he's doing, Solras thinks to herself as she follows behind the Dromaar. "I'll just be following behind you, Obahi," the mercenary says. She's entirely out-of-her-element in these closed, cramped caves, and the uncomfortability on her face shows it.
Niall pauses a moment to cast a spell. Just in case we run into anything else down here...
You move north, toward the green light.
A single sizable 20-foot-tall building remains in the center of this 30-foot-high cave, a bunkerlike structure with no windows and walls of worked stone blocks. A 10-foot-long carving of a hammer decorates the building’s facade. The ruins of collapsed outbuildings stand to either side.
On the side of the building a fly the size of a pony sees you, and begins to advance.

Virgil wrinkles his nose at the sight of the giant fly.
Let's hope there's some methane over there!
The Magus casts Produce Flame !
Virgil then Enters Arcane Cascade.
With the tight space, Avenger will move to a place where he can support with reach and still protect those in the back.
"This ecosystem just allows for oversized critters, somehow..." Obahi muses and runs up, just reaching the overgrown insect. He makes two tearing strikes into it.
Solras goes through the motions she's practiced numerous times, but unable to see the giant fly, holds off on her shot before firing.
Virgil's flames seem to sputter.
Avenger of the Green misses the fly.
Obahi tries to bite the fly. Twice. But, to no avail.
Solras sets up a shot, waiting for the fly to move to a more advantageous spot. But, by setting up the shot, Solras is no longer hidden.

None of its attacks get through Obahi's defense.

Solras sighs to herself, before advancing forwards and risking her shot going awry to put down the giant fly, taking the time to aim carefully around the two survivors between her and the fly.
Avenger raises his shield and strikes again
Obahi walks around the critter, and goes to town.
Virgil nods his gratitude to Obahi, as the Orc casts Shield, Strides (into Flank) an brings the hammer down!
Solras shoots the Giant Fly.
Avenger of the Green strikes at the fly, it Avoids the Swat and flies 15 feet north latching on to the side of the building.
Obahi walks around the fly and the first half of Obahi's flurry strikes the fly.
Because the fly moved as a reaction, it is now too far away from Virgil for Virgil to cast shield, move twice, and strike. If you don't mind, I will have Virgil cast shield and move twice into flanking position.

Virgil curses in Ancient Osiriani Orc as the pesky fly Reacts suddenly! The Magus does indeed Stride into a Flanking position.
Niall moves even closer to the bug and flings a handful of rocks at it.

Solras mutters to herself, "what did you say, Virgil?"
Niall misses the Giant Fly.
The pesky insect
Then,
Then it flys to a less 'contested' spot.

Paolo glares at the fly with equal parts annoyance and incredulity. "Die already, you blasted thing!" he says as he steps in and floods its body with deathly energy.
◆ Step
◆◆ Chill Touch - negative/void damage - basic Fort save, enfeebled 1 on critical failure
Paolo sees the fly wither and fall to the ground.
There is a door to this building on the left. It is obstructed by a rockpile, which is easily removed.
Solras and Paolo recognize the carving of the hammer on the building to be a symbol of Torag.
Avenger of the Green recognizes the Giant Fly to be the 'adult' stage of the Giant Maggots you fought earlier. It's probably a good thing it didn't actually bite anyone successfully, that way you avoided Fly Pox.
