The screams seem to intensify for a moment before going completely silent, and are then followed by a deafening (to all but Tanith and Shai) roar.

Though Tanith and Shai cannot hear the roar, they most certainly can feel the vibrations rumbling through the stone and earth. (ooc: don't know if that's really possible or not, but it adds flavor - so if it's not, it is now. ;) )
 

Rogash

"Hells! What have we stumbled onto." Finally realizing that some of his companions are deaf, Rogash does his best to pantomime screams and a roar using cowering with the screams and a menacing look with the roar and then points the likely direction. He trudges forward grimley gripping his weapon.
 

"Oh, we're nimble enough," says Friadoc as he slowly stands up before trying to stretch the kins out of his body. "It's why kind folk design traps to drop ceilings on us, since it's a smidge harder to avoid."

"I'm glad t'know the screamin' wasn't mine," says Friadoc as he checks himself and his equipment over, just to make sure they're all in order. "Is everyone else okay?"

Upon seeing Rogash's pantomime, Friadoc adds, "I take it that we've had some hearing loss?"
 

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Shai looks down the hall, features draining of color. "I can't hear nothin', and I heard that."

He jabs his thumb in the direction of the door they were investigating before the cave-in. "I say we see what's behind the door. If we're lucky, we'll still be on the other side of the door if whatever that rumble is comes looking for us."
 



"I'll scout the roar," says Friadoc, who also pantomimes it by pointing to himself and then pointing toward where the noise came from and mimicking a slow, sneaking walk with his fingers.

With a nod to the others, as well as a brief stretch to remove the aches of what just happened to him, Friadoc will take his time and move with the shadows to discover, or try to discover what lays ahead for his companions.
 

The sneaky halfling hugs the wall as he rounds the corner to the left. Alone, his vision is limited in the darkness, with only the fading glow of the torchlight seeping around the corner with him. Perhaps too soon that runs out as well, leaving him alone in the darkness.

If his memory serves correctly, this passage is not too long before it shoots off to the right into a much longer and darker corridor, probably where the unnerving sound came from.
