Dain - Triple Fork
Cart tracks...cart tracks. Carts in a mine...carts to carry ore...to carry gems. Essithea, your gems are twisted roots and smooth-topped mushrooms, but these gems we seek here...they are unique as well...
Dain nodded to Annit, letting her know he understood what she had found. He was impressed by her ability to run down dark corridors without fear. She was either brave, naive, or the perfect combination of both. And as he thought about it, they all were naive in their own ways, though that was changing quickly.
"Tracks from carts. Hopefully, laden ones. Creaking wheels groaning with the weight of gems." He spoke in whispers, not wanting to alert the creature or the voice beyond it. "And as for whatever is at the tip of that tail? Sometimes...evading a foe is as good as defeating one."
Twisting around to face the others, he gestured with a pointed finger to the pathway with the cart tracks. Then he made the age-old gesture for silence. They must proceed quietly. Or as quietly as they were able. Their standards were fairly low.
Onwards.
