Across the Great Foreboding Underdark! -- Your Guide: Simeon Longknife
The Wizards dust themselves off as best they can, bandage the minor cuts and bruises suffered from the falling rocks, and prepare to move on. You continue on around the corner where this passage makes a "T" with another Underdark Artery, Simeon heading northward in the lead. He says, "We're not far now, from a large underground lake. I think you said that you have been here before, at least on the surface, because this is below an old keep where a small band of hobgoblins used to live, until you lot came along. We're beginning to get fairly close to the Vault now, but we must still skirt near to the territory of the Crushed Skull tribe." He says this last bit of information with a slight quaver in his voice, but he clears his throat and immediately resumes his gruff, bold speech.
OOC: I'm assuming that at some point along the journey you may have filled Simeon in on what you've done so far?

Across the Great Foreboding Underdark! -- Your Guide: Simeon Longknife
The Wizards continue to follow Simeon northward. Soon enough, you enter a large cavern with a high vaulted ceiling that seems natural enough, what with all of the stalactites in evidence. Simeon skirts the underground lake on the east side, but you notice that there are paths on the shore of the lake leading to both the east and west. Going to the east, you try to recognize landmarks, but this all seems new to you. After a bit you gradually circle around the lake and are heading northward. When you reach the "corner" of the cavern, there is a passageway that leads out to the northeast and then quickly turns back to the west. "We have to backtrack to the east just a short distance here, it's just the nature of the Underdark, you know."

Something seems a little . . . off . . . here. I'd better keep an eye on this guy.
OOC: Sense Motive on Simeon. Bonus is +2. He'll continue to keep an eye on their guide in this way, working to discern whether he's on the 'up and up.'

Across the Great Foreboding Underdark!
Simeon continues to lead you to the east. There are no side passages here, and, in fact, there hasn't been another passage to take since the chamber with the dark lake, but it led to the west. After about ten more miles, you see a very small, treacherous-looking, rubble-strewn passage branching off to the south. Simeon pays this no heed and continues on to the east. After about 5 more miles, Simeon slows and stops, crouching and listening carefully. All that you hear is the sound of water dripping somewhere. After a long moment, Simeon rises and motions you forward. About 100 feet later, you come to another intersection. Here the primary passage that you are currently following continues on to the east, and another broad, primary passage branches off to the north. Simeon indicates that north is the proper way. Simeon huddles up with all of the wizards and whispers, "Be very quiet now. We are very dangerously close to the Crushed Skull Tribe's territory. Hopefully, we will be able to slip through here undetected."
[Everyone give me three Move Silently checks, please?]
