Chathorik turns and fixes Thro’ku with a look that is both furious and full of pain. ”No,” he says, ”the Tar’kora was not right. He was wrong. Wrong to send us down here, only a handful of hunters against creatures that plague the nightmares of children. We should have had a dozen warriors or more, and the Tar’kora knew this. Yet he sent us anyway.” Chathorik shakes his head. ”Come. Aekil needs a proper burial. His body should not go to waste.”
You return to the first room, to find Chathorik, Aekil, and Rakun waiting for you. Chathorik hasn't moved from his post by the unexplored tunnel. When you return he asks what you found. After you tell him, he only notes "Hmm. The snakes must have cooled off down there. They may be reptiles, but even they can succumb to the heat of living in this blasted vent. "At least we know it does not lead back to the surface. So far we have only that entrance behind us. That should make things easier later."
Chathorik pauses before replying. He cocks his ear listening, then says, "Scout it out. Kagrenac, you go with him." Chathorik doesn't move from his position and instead seems to be watching the other passage, the one the steam seems to be flowing out of. Thro'ku begins climbing down the narrow passage. The rocky wall is easy to navigate and there are plenty of footholds. Perception DC 20:
You think you hear the sound of something shifting down the passage that is as yet unexplored, the one Chathorik is currently watching. You can't be sure though, it may be your mind playing tricks on you. Perception DC 25:
You distinctively hear the sounds of scales sliding on stone coming from said passage. It sounds like something bigger than the serpent runts you have dispatched. |
