[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3447122, member: 11146"] Mazzel utters an oath. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"By Steckkirt's Skirt, does the wood turn nastier at night?! Does a bear lay scat in the woods?! It were so horrid that first night and Dungeddin so skairred that we ain't come up at night since. A horrible wail, a shrill screech, and then [i]quiet[/i]. Quiet so still, like black velvet that blanketed out all hope."[/COLOR] [sblock=Gamad]Mazzel's describing what sounds like a banshee.[/sblock] Fognewtin dabs at his forehead with a bit of a grimy handkerchief. Mazzel falls silent a moment but at length continues. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Old Wormy. Aye. An evil, blackhearted tree what as comes acallin' when an' where he likes. Look out!" [/COLOR] Mazzel leans in conspiratorially and whispers. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Or he'll snag you with his branches, wisk you into his roots with a crack and a snap, and then you're worm food." [/COLOR] The orange-haired gnome leans back in his rickety wooden chair. [COLOR=SandyBrown] "As for the cave, we all been in once. Went down a side tunnel off the main hall and found some funny moss what as don't like light. Let off a wretched shriek when we brought the lantern in. Dungeddin heard somethin' large coming a few moments after, so we hightailed it up and out the way we come in. Left some gear there, but haven't been back since. It don't pay to go stickin' yer nose for a bit of treasure in a monster's hidey hole, no sir."[/COLOR] Mazzel considers Voadam's last question before replying. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"It's a bit of a climb and a squeeze to get in the cave mouth, but then things widen up and level out. We did it without climbing gear, so's I reckon you might be able to, too." [/COLOR] The gnome looks around the room, sizing up everyone. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Most of you look stout enough. Not sure about Whitey, though." [/COLOR] Mazzel shoots a look at Gamad. [/QUOTE]
