Xir remains silent on the issue of the animal. He doubted it would be the one to give them away.

We can ask questions in this 'Haven' if nothing else. I shall scout if that is acceptable.

OOC: He will do the above once everyone's decided.

"Now, just what were you doing in that cavern anyway, young fellow? It seems a strange place for an ordinary pooch to be."

"Maybe we can find out in Haven. We certainly can't find out if we tie him to a rock and leave him to be eaten by skeletons," retorts Periwinkle, somewhat implausibly.

[sblock=OOC]Looks like we have 2 votes out of 5 for going towards whatever 'Haven' is. Anybody else gonna vote for it, for the other path, or for somehthing else?[/sblock]

"Well, let's see what Haven is first, but I agree."

"Fine. Lets go." Says Dair, moving into position ready to follow Xirr.

Boddynock · Sep 17, 2008

"By all means. Onward to Haven!"

Peladus smiles and sketches a bow.

Dair snorts in disgust and sets off.

"Come on, Snoofles! Oh, you're such a good boy! See how nice my friends are being? I'm sure we'll find some more friends of yours in Haven and then we can all pet you and play with you and... and give you a bath, and maybe if we're lucky we'll talk Dair into the tub too, and everything will be sparkly and nice!" Periwinkle's usual spirits seem to be restored, as she walks along, chattering happily to the dog and anyone else who will listen. She does take care to moderate the volume of her chatter, though.

Dair draws himself up to his full, thoroughly unimpressive height, glowering at the Priestess.

"Baths are unhealthy, everyone knows that!"

The group sets off down the tunnel with Xir scouting in the lead and the others following behind with the lights. 'Snoofles' turns out to be more quiet than Periwinkle during the journey. About an hour or so after the split in the tunnel, Xir begins to see the glow of light ahead of them in the tunnel. Staying quiet and in the shadows, he scouts close enough to determine that there are torches mounted to the wall up ahead. About 60' beyond the first torches, the xeph spies a fortification of some sort. It looks like a wall built to block the tunnel for defensive purposes. There are a few armed guards standing watch on the wall with their heads nearly scraping the ceiling of the tunnel. As he looks closer, he is fairly sure that the guards are human. He also realizes quickly that the wall itself is constructed from bones!
