"Sorry, Trd, I got nothing", Darren whispers. "Perhaps we should leave them alone. I mean... it is their mine and they don't seem to go out mucht to the entrance. We could stay there."
 

"No mirror here, maybe we could see if Rosette wants to go take a look, she's the most sneakiest person I know." Mikhail asks, looking at Rosette. "After that spider, I'm wondering what else could be in here? Maybe it's some other guys getting outta da storm?"
 

Charlie inspects the tracks then says, "Don't worry, it ain't a dragon. I wouldn't say anything bigger than a man made these footprints." He then nods at Darren's words. "Well, I'm glad we found out they're here. If we do go back to the entrance, we can keep watch into the tunnels to make sure them lizards don't surprise us in the night. But if they just wanna be left alone, they probably wouldn't appreciate half a dozen kids walking in on them while they sleep."
 

"I agree, we should leave em alone", Riggan mutters "But till we know if they'll leave us alone we can't afford to stay in these caves. We either need to find out more, or go back out into that storm and find another shelter."
 

"Wait a minute, I have a mirror in my pack...", she volunteers, "...lem'me get a little closer and take a look-see around the corner. I'll be extra quiet in case they turn out to be mean." Rosette retrieves the mirror from her pack and slinks on off ahead into the shadows.

Move Silently: 18 Hide: 20. Rosette sneaks a peak around the corner, and sees a cooridor similar to the one the party now stands in, its about 50 foot long. The torches are lit, illuminating the passageway. There is three doors spaced evenly on one side, and three doors on the opposite side.

As Rosette peeks around the corner, a loud bloodcurtling scream echos so loudly from the direction of the light, that the very walls of stone seemed to shake. A few seconds later, the screams ring out again, followed by a sharp cutoff as the creature is muffled by someone or something. Sharp cracks ring out, as the creature is beaten by what sounds like a whip.
 

Riggan Barely restrains himself from calling out for Rosette to return. Instead he waves franticly trying to get her attention without giving her away. Meanwhile he nervously whispers to the others, "Tha didn't sound real friendly like. Maby we should just go?"
 

The sharp crack of the whip instantly triggers something within Rosette. Her body instantly seizes up as years of survival instincts take over. Muscles continue tighten like springs but remain locked in place compeling her to remain in the safety of the shadows. He can't see me. He can't see me. It takes a moment and every ounce of her mental fortitude just to align her gaze for another peek down the corridor.

[sblock=ooc]Spot +0. I'm a bit confused. Are the creatures not around the corner? Can I not see what they are?[/sblock]
