Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashy" data-source="post: 1771267" data-attributes="member: 312">The tunnel leading from the main cave is fairly small; there are more than a few times that Baja thinks that he is not going to be able to make it.  However, he finally manages to squeeze through (it is likely that the thought of food drives him onward with zeal) and he (as well as the others) eventually emerge into a similiarly structured, but smaller cave.Whereas the first cave was oblong, this one is more cylindrical; its primary feature are the dark holes that riddle the walls and it is decorated one one end with bedrolls and personal effects and at the other with the tools and implements of daily life.  In the center of the chamber is a small, well-tended firepit overwhich hang several pots on a cleverly constructed metal spit-like apparatus.  However, this device seems to have been made for the express purpose of being able to cook over an open flame, as it has a mesh grill suspended from a sturdy A-frame - this grill makes the perfect cooking platform.Circling the fire-pit are some large folded blankets, upon which Isror, Yana, and Yarish are sitting.  They motion for you to join them (Yarish motions excitedly for Kiera to sit next to him, patting the blanket like a giddy school-boy) and as you do, Qyt'tyl joins you, nodding and chittering quickly to Isror.  "Ah", Isror nods, and then tells the party, "Qyt'tyl has asked me t'tell ya that yar mounts have been tended to for th' night, food'n'water has been given ta 'em, and there's an unseen servant 'at'll see 'at they're properly brushed an' whatnot."The ram-man then speaks with a very serious tone, looking to the party slowly, one at a time.  "We're all friends here.  We-" he motions to his companions, "mean ya no ill will.  We have no love of th' Warlords and only fools love th' Flock.  Set yar minds t'ease here.  There're not many places on th' Forge where such a conversation as this'n can take place safely, but it seems 'at yar lord, this Pee-lor, 'as blessed ya by bringin' ya here.  Now, please, start from th' beginning, an' we'll try our best ta answer all of yar questions 'at we can..."Isror nods to Qyt'tyl and suddenly a flame sparks amid the tinder in the firepit.  The ram-man and his wife begin to cook as they all listen...</blockquote>
