The cavern is dimly lit from flickering embers in a fire pit situated in the room's center. Five large stalagmites are scattered around the room, two flanking the entrance, another along the east wall, and a final pair in the northeast corner.Along the east wall is a large wooden chest with a massive padlock as well as several wooden pegs hammered to the wall, with small items hanging from them. Along the northwest wall is a pile of furs. To the north are several exits, but they appear to be two feet in diameter, rough-hewn corridors too small for humans to traverse.Katadid glances at the glowing embers and immediately tenses up, realizing someone was here not too long ago. He begins scanning the area for any movement behind the rock formations and quietly loads his sling."Nobody touch anything until we check everything for traps," Tock says quietly."It's not the traps I'm worried about," Kat whispers back."Pay dirt," Renraw says, eyes fixed on the chest and gleaming like he'd just been reunited with his lover. He slowly creeps closer, trying to stay as hidden and silent as he can, tiptoeing and keeping a close eye out for any movement, sounds, tripwires or other traps.Katadid frantically grabs at Renraw and attempts to haul him behind a nearby stalagmite. Renraw turns and follows Kat, annoyed."What is it, Leach? We've a limited time before this thief realizes we're here as it is. For all we know, he's already flown the coop. We need to search this room and find him before he escapes, preferably without setting off any more traps. Now, I suggest we all begin searching right away."I'll head in this direction," he whispers, motioning to the chest. "The rest of you fan out and stay sharp. I may require your aid following my audacious penetration of the heart of danger.""SPIDER," Katadid hisses back, then puts a finger to his lips and points toward the glimmering fire. He points at Ragglus and then the center of the room.Ragglus shrugs."If he wants to go first, let him."Kat boggles. Shaking his head and holding his hands to his temples, he steps out of Renraw's way."Do you want to die?" he asks Renraw quietly."All right, all right," Renraw whispers. "Look, we'll go around the long way over to that stalagmite over there. Rags, you first. Hug the wall, now."Renraw tugs the leather hood over the top of his staff to help prevent detection.Sighing, Ragglus finally moves forward, taking the lead and keeping close the wall as the Delvers circle east toward the area with the chest."I see you bastards!" a thick dwarven accent roars, and an arrow shoots out of the darkness, thunking Ragglus in the chest.</blockquote>
