[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 2120497, member: 11574"] [b]Blissful silence through deafness[/b] Nameroc heard the loud crash, and then silence. Curiosity getting the better of him, he climbed the top of the bluff with his bear in tow. Peering out over the earth, he spies the rest of the party surrounded by a couple of dead orcs and a large tarp. Skidding down the side of the bluff, Nameroc hails his companions. "Gronar not like Elfy right now, Elfy not kill big flying worm like Gronar say." The hill giant explains disappointingly "it was either going to be me or the worm." Nameroc explains while weighing those options with his hands "Maybe if Elfy think like that more often, Elfy kill things more often." Gronar retorts A quiet silence is broken by a humming Korg who sits singing to himself. "So........ check out the dome. No?" Paquito interjects "Ok, but Gronar going to teach Elfy to catch better once Elfy stop yaking on his clothes, Elfy smell bad." Gronar states "Me? Do even know what hygiene is? You know if there's a spot you can't reach, get a stick and save a friend's nose." Finrod answers The party departs the tower, and heads off to the large dome shaped structure further into the gorge. The structure appears to have been constructed, on the south side the party discovers a large crack in the outer "shell" just wide enough that the giant's could squeeze through. "Elfy, you go first." Gronar commands "Why me? You're the biggest, badest, warrior we've got. You should go first." Finrod replies "Yes, Gronar is best at killing little people like elfys." Gronar agrees with Finrod while also giving him an eyeful of honesty with that statement. "Looks like the writing is on the wall doesn't" Finrod whispers out loud, Korg hears him and confusedly stare at the wall near the crack looking for the writing Finrod was talking about. Finrod enters the dome, followed by Nameroc and his bear. Korg is next, but he stops just short of the entrance and cranes his head back to Paquito. "Hey Pokey, what writing on wall say?" Korg asks Pokey gives the outside of the dome a quick glance but can find nothing that would look like writing anywhere. "There's nothing there." Paquito replies "Well, that good. Korg could use some quiet rest." Korg replies to Paquito, thinking that Paquito's response is the words he was looking for. Finrod's elven eyes adjust quickly to the diminished light within the dome. Looking up Finrod sees small points of light, not unlike a moonless starry night. His attention is brought low by the flickering of a small campfire roughly a hundred feet in front of him. Korg and Paquito quickly enter the dome, followed by Gronar. Nameroc stops just inside the dome's opening. Paquito's sight makes out a solitary figure seated just beyond the fire.

Gronar asks, but before waiting for a response shouts "Hey! You got food?!!!" Gronar's question reverberates off unseen walls, increasing in pitch with every ricochet.

Finrod charges the one nearest him, he fails to notice a small step just before he reaches the creature.
