Chapter 2 - Cave Discoveries

Kor silently slips into the cave on alert for any sign of an ambush. As there really isn’t anywhere to hide in such a small room he is pretty confident that he is alone. While searching the cave he sees where a small fire was but the embers look to be cold, possibly maybe a day or two old. What he also notices is at back of the cave is a depression hiding the mouth of a tunnel. He failed to notice it before as you can only really see it if you are on top of the depression. He deduces that a medium sized person could squeeze into that tunnel but it would be a tight fit. He also see what looks like scratches in the dirt around the tunnel as if something was either clawing its way out of the tunnel or not wanting to go into the tunnel.

Chapter 2 - Inside the Cave

Kor gets down on his knees so he can take a peek up the tunnel to see if he can see anything and as his eyes become level with the opening. His eyes go round as the hair on the back of his neck stand on end as he hears a blood curdling scream come from within the tunnel. The scream continues on for a minute or so and then he hears what he can only describe as a soaked tree branch hitting a boulder and then scream stops immediately. He can then faintly hear more scraping sounds and a high pitched yipping sound that seems to be fading.

[ooc: can we hear the scream (18) from outside the tunnel? Never having heard Kor scream Sten would assume it was him and charge in.]

 

[Elocin]

No one outside would be able to hear the scream over the growing snow storm outside.

Sten continues to inch closer trying to listen for any signs from Kor. He moves very slowly until he reaches the entrance careful not to make any loud noises, not that anything out here can be heard.

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

Durnn looks back to the rest of the group, points to the cave opening, and shrugs his shoulders, as if motioning "what should I do?"

Koraero Firironna - Sun Elf Rogue 2

Kor gets down on his knees so he can take a peek up the tunnel to see if he can see anything and as his eyes become level with the opening. His eyes go round as the hair on the back of his neck stand on end as he hears a blood curdling scream come from within the tunnel. The scream continues on for a minute or so and then he hears what he can only describe as a soaked tree branch hitting a boulder and then scream stops immediately. He can then faintly hear more scraping sounds and a high pitched yipping sound that seems to be fading.

Koraero winces a bit at what sounds like someone being tortured or killed. When the yipping sound has faded to the point that Koraero has to strain to hear it, he starts to wiggle his way through the tunnel, continuing to be as quiet as possible.

OOC: Common sense is not this guy's forte
