The badger snarls low, warily, revealing dangerous looking teeth, but does not snap as Inamar comes closer. Its nose catches the scent of the meat and it sniffs the air, it actually licks its lips as Inamar holds out the treat before eyeing her warily again. When the meat is brought close it snaps down quick and gobbles up the jerky. Inamar has bought herself a little good will, enough she feels to get off a spell without having her hand chewed off.
Meanwhile Weylan begins to scout down the further tunnel, with NR4ZN following a good distance behind so as not to disrupt any stealth Weylan might achieve. The tunnel becomes shorter and the warzoder must double over to maneuver through the smaller passageway, which slows his progress.
The tunnel curves around for several hundred feet but has a discernible ascending grade to it. Eventually Weylan spies a root covered opening where some sunlight from above filters down to provide some natural illumination.
