The vines they climbed down were sickly white and the air smelled of decay.  The floor was covered with soil, rotting vegetation and the remains of animals such as rats with mushrooms and other types of fungus growing throughout the cavern.  They noticed saplings growing in the area, and two gaunt, cloaked figures shoveling the earth into a rusted wheelbarrow.When they reached the bottom, everyone was there but Snap, who never climbed down. No one knew where he'd gone, not even Minx. He hadn't said anything, just didn't follow her down, apparently choosing to remain with the goblin chief as he'd threatened, or striking out on his own, dissatisfied with the decisions that were made or leaving before his anger got the better of him and he did something he might later regret. They didn't have time to make sense of it now, there was pressing danger at hand.Recognizing the saplings, Turk quickly made his way through the detritus strewn all over the floor to destroy them. As he approached, they started moving. They pulled up feet from the roots, and what had at first looked like branches looked more like claws. Turk swung his greatsword, from the left to the right, with his favorite move, splintering the first and following through to smash a second one. Thorin saw Turk moving toward the saplings and headed for the gaunt figures, realizing they were skeletons as he approached the first one. He managed to break off some ribs from the one he attacked, barely damaging it.Turk rushed forward, too quickly through the debris all over the floor, slipping on some mushrooms and his armor clanged loudly as he fell flat on his back.Kierwin, seeing that the two figures were undead, she called upon the holiness of Ehlonna to destroy the undead and send them back to hell where they belonged. Both skeletons crumbled into dust.Turk got back on his feet, deciding he'd better be more careful running in the garbage laying all over the floor.Suddenly, there was a loud shout and heavily booted feet coming toward them from a tunnel off to the side of the cavern.  Minx stepped back behind the rest of the group, nearly out of spells and with little protection just as a big bugbear accompanied with huge rats came rushing into the room, shouting and angry.</blockquote>
