It wakes everyone peaceably. It is cool and refreshing compared to the diurnal dry heat. The Seekers break camp and prepare a quick breakfast of fresh prickly-pear tea and some of the dried meat from the travel stores. The rain is light enough in this area that nothing and no one really needs to be dried before marching back to that ill-fated cave.The return trip takes about 2 hours. Once the cave is spotted, the seekers wisely give watch for a time to see if there is any activity. Seeing none, the pack animals are left in the care of Aust and Revan while the others cautiously approach the target of the necessary deed. Angling to the north of the main entrance, both it and the side egress can be seen simultaneously.[/ooc]Sannit and Bolo set up archery watch at this vantage point, Turtle staying at Bolo's side. Sheldon and Indigo stealthily approach the smaller egress point while Merin and Tor quietly take to the main entrance. Pausing and each opening, the pairs count to the pre-determined 120 listening. At the count, having heard nothing, Sheldon and Merin each enter leaving the Indigo and Tor as outside watch.Once inside the anteroom, Sheldon quietly voices to Merin in the main room that all is clear. Merin stands at the opening between the rooms, Sheldon stands at the back exit. Each concentrates at this safe distance, for only a mere fraction of a second.[gm]The guano ignites with a fervor. Sheldon and Merin quickly dart back to their partners, and quickly still all head back directly to Sannit and Bolo. A low rumble can be heard from within the cave. As the returning pairs reach the archery guard 2 columns of flame shoot forth, straight up into the sky. Not a single bat is seen to escape.[/gm]Sheldon -When the two columns of flame shoot forth, a loud scream is heard from farther east of the cave.The sound of a single person's running feet can be heard approaching from the East.[gm]What are your intentions?[/gm]</blockquote>
