"Yes," Morph says, cocking his head, "the mindflayerers are the consumers. Either way," he continues, "if there is nothing else down there, there is no reason to stay here. Ganyon, lead on. If we can find some giant's perhaps we can persuade them to talk to us."
"I have a suggestion," Dreadnought suggests, not at all suggestively.
"If one of us can send a message back to the city to someone explaining what we've discovered, it could help. It seems to me that knowing about these mind creatures could be very valuable, tactically, for future engagements, if our efforts are unsuccessful."
At the mention of sending word back to Stormreach, Ganyon steps forward.
"Ya know, I do have dis sendin' stone 'ere tah do jus' dat. At leas', dats why dey sent it wit' us -- tah lit 'em know what we find so dey can prepare fer the scions return."
A chuckle escapes the small gnome besides the group.
"I could just smack myself for forgetting that they sent that along with us."
"I'm sure they would appreciate knowing about the mindflayers down here as well, since that nice fellow in Stormreach met his end missing a good portion of his brain."
"But what should we do now? Have our jungle friend attempt to track down the assailants, or look around this tower?"
Morph cocks his head at the gnome. "I forgot about the stone as well. As for our plan of action, I would think we should at least give the tower an examination."
I can scout to see if anything dwells in the entrance areas of the towers.
Say the almost invisible and death silenced Gitz as he reveal himself and approach the group.

The group decides to explore the tower -- so they walk/trundle/scamper over towards the lone remaining functional-appearing lift.
The lift floats silently in its shaft.

As you transformed into your predator form, you sniff the ground then follow a faint trail to the entrance-way, where the scent disappears. [DC for tracking > 10, so survival check cannot be used in lieu of the Track feat.]
You do not see any buttons or methods of control that would be similar to lifts that you have operated in the past in larger cities, such as Sharn.
Actually, the shaft is carved with patterns and frescoes of various things -- plants, giant-figures, clouds -- all sized to be normal for someone of a giant stature.
(OOC - Question for the gang...I apologize for not being clear enough about this IC, so I just wanna be sure we're clear OOC. Do y'all want Dreadnought to stay a distance from the rest of the group, so the scrying eye on him won't see or hear you? And if so, are y'all okay with him being on the lift, or is he supposed to stay behind?)
The wizard speaks again in the language of giants. "I am sorry, do not mistake my lack of response for codemnation of you or your creator's greatness. I am in awe of such a thing as you. Something so magnificant doesn't belong here, you should be experienced by all races. First floor please."
