The Retrievers - Chapter 2

"Agreed, there is probably little we can do for the rider for we have no idea where he might be .But we should be wary that there is something dangerous out there; and if something follows this horses trail it will pick up ours."
"Is the cave clear?"

Chapter 2 - The Cave

Reinn

You continue along the passageway with the sounds of the creatures receding behind you, thankful that none of the others have discovered the destruction you left behind. After a few minutes of travel the passageway comes to an end but you see a small hole in the wall. Bending down to get a look into the tunnel you see that it stretched for about 40' and then turns to the right. You think you can just squeeze your way through the tunnel but it will definitely be tight and you will have to extend your hands above your head to make it through.
 




"What do you mean "technically"? Don't come over all Lantanese on me please."
"Do you mean: it looks like someone lives there but they aren't in? Because technically I'm getting cold and wet stood here even if you aren't."

"Well...the cave is clear. But there is this really small tunnel in there. I could sort of squeeze through if I tried. I heard some unsettling noises through it though - a scream and some yelps. But they all stopped, so I think whtever it was went away."
 

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal listens to Kor's words with interest. "Sounds like we may need to do a little house cleaning before the caves are suitable for shelter. Show us this tunnel."
 

Chapter 2 - The Cave

Kor and party -

As you guys head back into the cave to check out the tunnel Kor mentioned you hear a slight noise from inside the tunnel, as if someone or something is crawling through it.

Reinn -

You crawl around a bend in the tunnel and you are elated as you can finally see a feint light coming from about 40' in front of you. You start to crawl a little faster as the suffocating tunnel seems to be closing in on you. Crawling closer to the exit the light is suddenly blocked by something approaching the hole from outside and you faintly hear voices. They seem to be speaking in common as you can hear a few words here and there, but the winter storm outside is blocking the rest.

Following the others and feeling like a lost puppy, Sten enters the cave again glad to be back out of the storm. When he hears the scratching in the tunnel he moves with weapon drawn towards the back of the cave.
