Every time Merrick moved one of the larger rocks in the pile that had once looked like a dracolich, a small cloud of noxious fumes would assault his senses, and he retched. To make matters worse, much of it crumbled to gravel as he worked. After a few attempts, with his head and stomach spinning circles, he concluded that there was nothing to find - or if their was, it was going to be a lot of work; an hour or more.
Torkhak further terrorized the kobolds by appearing and disappearing, which did little to help Shamal in trying to maintain their tenuous alliance, but it worked to stop them from forming any kind of lynch-mob.
Eventually, Chief Urbone returned to the scene, and he said, "You are mighty, indeed! You have defeated the false-Dragon, sent by our enemies. But in doing so, you have angered the Great Dretchroyaster! You must leave, so that His wrath will follow YOU. Perhaps you can turn it against the Cult, but you can't keep it focussed HERE!"
He indicated three directions that the party could go - Back outside the way they came, through the transporter, or down a steep tunnel in the northern part of the cavern, past his Chief's Hut, that let westward and down, on a slippery-looking steep gravel pathway, that practically looked like a pit trap.
This last was his suggestion, and when he was not speaking publicly, he said to Shamal, "They come and take kobolds this way, to work at a dig-site. It is part of our peace agreement with them, but we do not like it."
