"I too believe we should press on." Atlas says. Moving to the front where he can protect the rest.

Can I get a marching order please?
*As you light your torches, lanterns, or sunrods, the redness of the walls leaps out of you, turning from dried blood to fresh in some of your minds. Arranging yourselves carefully, you set off down the passageway.*
*The red walls twist and turn into the earth, going slightly down. The ceiling is plenty high, even for Atlas, though perhaps some of you wonder if the walls might ever get too small for him to pass. The air is cool and smells of earth, soothing perhaps after the sun outside.*
*As you press deeper the floor gets more jagged in places, in one place dropping ten feet. A bit of rope helps you get the mule down, though Atlas almost got kicked in the face for his trouble in helping it down. Leesea and Phaern are able to fly over these obstacles with ease, perhaps earning an annoyed glance or two from others that have to dirty their clothes in crawling over rocks.*
*It is as you walk into a much larger cavern, this one with a roof soaring over twenty feet in the air, that you begin to notice the first signs that you are not alone. Along the middle of it you notice what appears to be a game trail of some sort. Indacalis kneels to examine it, and seems to consider for an eternity. Finally he rises.*
"I think this was made by animal with hooves. Like a cow," he annouces. Then, at his feet lands what appears to be a stalactite, except it seems to have an eye that regards you with a malicious glare.

OOC: Kelthet will take up the last position in the order - that way he can guard the rear flank of the party, and it leaves him the least number of people to talk to. Although with our group, we basically have 3 fighters and 2 flutterers, so we can almost do a triangle around the greenbond, with the sprytes fluttering....
*Kelthet regards the eye with shock, his greatsword appearing in his hand almost by instinct. A sharp outburst of "Iron's balls" is the only utterance he makes, however.*

*Seeing Wil's actions (hopefully), Kelthet will attempt to move to prevent Wil's attack (hopefully catching his arm before he attacks or the like, at worst knocking him somewhat aside so that the strike might possibly miss).* "Wil! Careful! We don't know it's intent!"

*Phaern flutters around Indacalis in the center. He finds himself often towards the front of the group but flits in and out talking to his landborne companions as they travel. He is a little excited about this journey, and does his best to infect the group with his enthusiasm.*

*Darthallys stays near the front of the group, although is not a guide and needs someone to point the direction, if not lead the way. He's been grumbling remarkably little, although did makesome rather nasty comments about butchering the mule after all the trouble getting it through the tunnels.*
*As the Stalactite lands in front of the Greenbond, Darthallys glances up in case others look ready to fall, or in case things are knocking them loose up there.*
"If this trail is made by some manner of underground bovine, then it's a good hunting track for bovines. Let us move on."
*Darthallys draws his blade as he moves forward, although he's tense and uneasy. If something poses an obvious threat, he'll call up his shimmering shield while assessing the situation.*

Much like Phaern, Leesea will tend to flutter around the group, though her curiosity keeps her more often near the front than the back.
As the creature's presence becomes known, she will back up to allow the fighters more room to swing if it comes to that.
(Leesea will delay action and decide how to react after she learns more of the creature's nature and intent.)

*Before Wil can strike at the stalactite, Kelthet grabs his arm and asks him to stop. Phaern and Darthaylls look upward, just in time to see a veritable hoard of stalactites slam to the ground. Phaern, Leesea, Wil, and Kelthet are all hit, deep scratches that bleed freely. Another four also fell as well, but failed to hit anyone. They all have the strange eyes on their sides, glaring at you with a malignant stare.*
