The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

"Seems logic" Sielwoodan answers to Dunstand. "Let's take a look at the west path." Looking at the remaining of the group. "Give us an advance, so we can scout without being disturb by you."

Moving through the western bend and onward down the tunnel you are startled as you hear what sounds like the tortured screams of a little girl. The screams echo throughout the tunnel, heard by the entire party. Those scouting ahead begin to see what appears to be blood slowly mixing in with the water coming from further down the passage.

Dunstand slowly turns to Sielwoodan with a blank aspersion on his face.
“uhh, maybe we should wait for the rest of the group before we go on, I’m not scared easily but this is a wicked thing.”

He looks down at the water slowly turning red with blood and back agene at Sielwoodan.
“I know we havened started out on the best of terms, but I’m glad I’ve got you and your deadly bow next to me.”

Dunstand increases the grip on his dagger and looks a last time at the bloody water before blinking away tears of terror and pain for person that screamed that death scream.
I would like nothing more than to rush forward and help the young woman that was screaming, but I fear that its to late for here, if only we got her faster instead of benign fearful of our surroundings.

"I sense no evil," Chastity says softly before the decision is made of which direction to go.

At the sound of the screams, her head comes up sharply. "I do not like this," she says with conviction, eyes narrowed. She restrains herself from chasing down the corridor just barely. This could be a trap. But the blood, and the screams! Torm, guide me! she prays fervently.
 

"Wise, wait for them, I'll take a look by myself." on that, Sielwoodan slowly adavance in teh cave, trying to be as silent as it is possible to be. His bow is ready, and he is hoping he would not see some being trture.
 

Sielwoodan presses on, following the tunnel further as it curves southward, then back west again. The blood in the water stops suddenly as the tunnel comes to a crossroads, a path leading north and another leading south. The sounds of the screaming girl can no longer be heard.
 

Dunstand tries to forestall Sielwoodan’s leaving, but was too late.
He waits in the passage till he can see the rest of the group, and than follows Sielwoodan down the passage. Al the time keeping a eye open for set traps, but some how he’s sure that if there where any traps he would find them with the broken body of Sielwoodan in them.
 

"Mystra protect us!" Andreas mutters at the sound of the girl's scream, his face paling. He nocks an arrow to his bowstring, looking around nervously.

"What should we do? I doubt we can save that girl, even if we hurry, and rushing into a naga's lair will most likely get us all killed."
 

Teleri fishes out a small piece of chalky rock she had been playing with and during the trip down, she has been marking the walls in elvish runes, trying to keep track of where they're going. When she hears the screams, her reaction is to go towards the sounds of the screams. When the screams stop as well as the blood, her natural caution reasserts itself.

"This feels like a trap to me," she muttered, trying to remember from which direction the screams came from. "Now where?" she asked looking at the north and south tunnels, thinking which looked worse as she fingers the chalk-rock

Calenthang visibly perks-up at the sound of the screams, but other than that he remains calm; remembering his position and who is stranded on his shoulders, and not wanting to take him for a bumpy ride.
"We certainly cannot turn back now..."
