Warminga bit to the Ogre-Dwarf, Silvercat pulls out some dried venison and passes it over,after tearing off a piece for himself. Then, he chimes in 'How long have you lived in this cave, Jef? Are there many of your mother's folk nearby? And your Mother, where would she be,Jef...?'

"The little metal bugs?"
Jef looks over at Sullivan, "You were the lead man that was tearing up the cave looking for treasures. You let out the metal bugs. Why did you do that?"
Jef looks at Sullivan with a sort of angry stare, but Sullivan seems completely surprised that Jef even exists down in these caverns when he says, "I've no idea what your talking about. The creatures were NOT intentionally released, though it seems quite obvious that they were awakened by some other means. How come I've never seen you down here before, Jef? How could this be a usual place for you if I've been all over this side of the ruins and never seen one of these others you speak of?"
Jef replies to Sullivan's inquiries, "You released the bugs that belong to the short fat men with the long noses when you turned on their clock. Why'd you turn on thier clock? It isn't ever supposed to be turned on unless something really really bad happens, and it doesn't look like anything bad is happening down there." Jef's face suddenly appears quite surprised and frightened, "Is something going on on the surface level? What is happening that made you turn on the clock?"
Gur chimes in, "Theres been some odd weather recently. Tornados and the like. Nothing too incredible though... even though there was that really creepy guy in the woods earlier. But how did you avoid Sullivan and his pokers this whole time, Jef?"
Jef answers up, "Jef may be big, but I know the way in and out of these tunnels much better than anyone from the surface. The others don't live on this level though, they like to be as far away from the surface as they can..."
When silvercat asks his questions, Jef continues, "I've been living here my whole life. Long enough to grow big enough to hunt for my family, even if it is just my mom. My mother's folk are not close, unless they have run out of food and mushrooms. They sometimes go to the surface if there is no food or mushrooms in their homes. Mother grows mushrooms and sometimes helps defend our home. My home is where the metal bugs cannot go, cause the statue stops them."

Gregoran pipes in once more, still smiling at the man-beast, recognizing him as more of an intalect then he had first given him credit for. "This clock turned them on? Is there a way to turn them off? ANd you said that the clock should not be turned on unless there is something drastic and dangereous. How do you know this? Are there writings speaking of these things, or is it family lore passed on? Also, how does this statue turn the metal bugs aside? If you do not know, then could you show us where this statue is?" Gregorian sighs and smiles.
"Sorry to ask so many questions at once. Let's try them one at a time and we'll go on from there, if your willing. Oh, and thank you for this information. You may have just saved our lives with your free disclosure of information."
Gregorian keeps his eyes on the brute but his mind wonders to Sullivan's defense with a little bit more suspition then may be warrented. His remarks did not ring true, for whatever reason, instinct perhaps.

"The clock? Oh yes, they turned it on when they were playing with it. I don't know if you can turn it off, has it ever been turned off? The clock isn't supposed to be turned on unless someone knows how to control them, this is what I've been told. Both tribes know this, and I know this as well. The old man knows where the statue is. He has been there many times."

Sullivan seems distraught and quite upset with everyone, "If, by statue, then he means the spherical device that I told you I supposed started this mess, then I havn't been concealing anything from you. I don't know about any clock, but we were headed towards those devices to see if we could disable them. I'm not concealing anything, I'm the one that asked for help!"
Jef smiles a bit smugly across the room towards Sullivan before he says, "Turn them off? How'd you plan to do that exactly?"
Sullivan, still distraught, "We were heading left from the next passage, then downhill about half a mile into the tunnel before we reach the maintenance shaft where the sphere and other equipment was located."
Jef replies, "Yes, that is where the clock is... but how where you going to turn it off? You don't even know how it works, I dunno either, and who would figure it out?"
