Descent
By the time the reach the large room, Ehdlannis finds he can no longer understand the barking gnoll tongue which Grassus uses. Grassus points East to the tiled portion when they enter, presumably pointing to the teleportation pad, but the party continues south. By the light of the lantern, they do notice that the two dozen gnoll corpses seem to have disapeared.
Heading south, they enter a hallway that stinks. As they progress, they realize why. They enter a 20' by 30' room that is covered in garbage, much of it seems ancient. The top layer is mostly gnoll offal and discarded food remains. Underneath are glimpses of all sorts of pottery shards, bones, scraps of wood, metal, rusting tools...
An open door stands in the SE corner. Peeking through, by lantern light you see a similar room, covered with trash, though not nearly as much. There are also several cots and a closed door.

bump - I edited my last post. I had been interupted & it was incomplete.
Nothing of use is immediately evident amidst the garbage, but there are large piles that could be dug through by those so inclined.
Also, who now is providing light? Marcus is carrying a lantern. Mendicus
&/or Grassus could carry torches if you wish. Is Ehldannis carrying his lantern again?
Also, I've received 5th level stats from everyone except Octar.

"I looks like we're not out of the gnoll's teritory yet..." Brioc says as he looks through the open door. "Anyhow, let's keep moving. I'd rather not sort through that lot just at the moment."
Moving quietly, he makes his way into the next room and over to the door. He listens for a moment, hoping to catch some hint as to what might lie on the other side.

The party moves through the second door, exiting the empty gnoll guard post. It leads to a 60 foot hallway going south, which then turns West and heads downstairs for another 60 feet or so before turning South for another 60 feet. Here an open door leads into a natural cavern. The door is solidly made, of heavy oak, reinforced with bronze, but now covered with moss.
The party can now see the underground river, of which G'ruk referred. It curves through this passageway, widening to the Northeast where it becomes rapid, passing through rocks. As the party pauses, and shines the lantern about, a lizardman emerges from the water, his crocodile harness and gold armband clearly distinguishing him as G'ruk. His crocodile then splashes out and plops itself in the sand of the shore.

"Greeting G'ruk, we managed to make it without any mishaps." Brioc greets his fellow druid in their common language. He cautiously makes his way towards the lizardman and crocodile, not wishing to startle G'ruk's mount.
"So, from here where do we go? I am a little uncertain of the geography of this place."
