Some Stories Are True

Astrid shrugs. "I agree. I do not think the archer took the stairs. He also cannot see unless he took some light source of his. We know this group is not Benders."

The faint illumination grows brighter as the party moves. It seems to be a fixed light source, probably another one of those globes. Oorvid asks Astrid to extinguish the lampstick he is carrying because it is no longer needed and it gives away the party’s position, much more assuredly than any noise. Sound is a funny thing underground. Even the party can hear things, but it is impossible to determine distance or cause.
This hall is much shorter than the one previously walked, only about one third of the length of the other. It opens into a single room, identical in structure and supply as the previous one. It is deduced that the party is now underneath the very first structure where they had encountered the first group of archers. It also stands to reason why this room is empty. There is a set of stairs ascending to the structure above, one globe is illuminated in one corner, and another hall exits the room opposite of where the party entered. As an archer from each encounter had escaped, there is no sign of where either might have gone, but they are not here. The other hall should lead to a place the party has not yet explored from above.

Astrid says, "I want to take the lead this time. Keep the light behind me, as I can alter my vision to see in the dark far better than most people. Since it is highly likely that there are enemies behind us, I think it may be more to our advantage to keep the archers in the back."

Before the party can exit the room into the hall, one of the archers descends the stairs into the room. Since it had been a day between conflicts, it is likely that he is the one who had escaped from the first battle. He was obviously not expecting to find others in the underground room; and when he awkwardly tried to ready his bow and draw an arrow, he was quickly killed by the party members. It might have been considered unfortunate because the members were not vindictive, but it was necessary. This meant that there was now only one hostile at large, who had encountered the party.
The new hall is rather long and very dark. The party is forced to resort to its own source of light, again, which Oorvid is most agreeable to carry. Maka, who had agreed with Astrid, spends most of his time walking backward so that he can keep an eye on the party’s tail. Being a Psionicist, Astrid can manipulate electromagnetic waylines better than anyone else in the party. With only the small amount of light carried by Oorvid, she can see far down the hall as if it was more greatly illuminated.
The hall begins to descend then descends in a flight of stairs. The party can sense that they are fairly deep beneath the surface. The flat expanse after the stairs is damp, water occasionally drips down from the ceiling. It seems that this tunnel is passing beneath a stream on the surface. After a short flat period, there is an ascending flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs the tunnel continues to angle upward. As it once again levels, everyone is certain that light and voices are coming from up ahead. The voices are different from that of the former archers.

Astrid agrees. "Oorvid, I am going to reduce the illumination of our globe. I am not expecting friendlies. This whole place seems to be under some kind negative influence, but I will offer the friendly option, as I no longer carry a visible weapon."

Oorvid is not really able to hide because he is carrying the light source, but he does mystically obscure his existence. The party creeps forward, making their steps as quietly as possible. The party ascends a flight of stairs identical to the other one that had been descended. The voices are guttural and harsh. As everyone draws closer, Astrid hugs the left wall so that Star can see around her. Oorvid motions for Wrenn to move up. From a distance, there appears to be several people in the underground room. They are all men. The men are relatively short and muscular. They have skin the color of mahogany wood with long, straight hair but no facial hair. They are clothed in crude garments and adorned with small axes. There are patterns in gray clay painted upon their arms, torsos, and faces.
It is not possible to determine what is being discussed because the language is unfamiliar. The party members realize that they can get closer, especially if Astrid extinguished their light source, but it will not be possible to enter the room without being seen. Based on the initial observation, these people are suspected of being Medderins, a hostile tribe of Mhytres known to be headhunters. How they came to be here without being in constant conflict with the archers that the party fought makes no sense. It must have something to do with whoever made the brands on the residents' forearms.
