Message: <blockquote data-quote="Endur" data-source="post: 1623875" data-attributes="member: 3346">The party follows the tracks of the Carrion Crawler towards the center of the ruins.  Dra'vin isn't sure, but from the frequency of the tracks, there may be more than one carrion crawler.Out of the fog, a great shadowy shape appears.The great edifice that once stood here is now but a jumbled ruin surrounding you.  The tall splinters of hewn rock form countless nooks and crannies large enough to conceal various lurking beasts.  Emating from within one of these crannies, near to the ground, is a dim yellow light.The light appears to be coming from a hole that leads underground.  The hole is mostly blocked by a massive ten foot wide, twenty foot long, twelve foot tall stone.  Erosion appears to have created a crack of an opening that a small creature might be able to sneak through.  The tracks of the carrion crawler(s) lead through the crack and down the hole.  Looking down the hole, Dra'vin thinks it has been years (or decades or centuries) since any humanoid has traveled down that hole.  Once it might have been a staircase, but mud and overgrowth would make traveling down it very hazardous.  List and the others except Zinnias thinks they can probably squeeze through the crack, but are somewhat concerned about their ability to navigate the overgrown stairs without breaking their necks.  Zinnias, the largest of the group, would never be able to squeeze through the crack while wearing his armor.  And of course, the horses could not fit through either.The glowing light appears to be coming from around the corner of the bottom of the stairs.  As if someone has left a lantern hanging on a hook on a wall.  Dra'vin is certain that if that is the lantern they saw in the swamp earlier, whoever left it must have taken a different route down, for there are no tracks going through the crack, other than the tracks of the carrion crawlers.</blockquote>
