Many of the creatures come to the gully and throw refuse into it, including some dead bodies - men and goblins.From somewhere, a few buzzards flock to the ravine and begin feeding.  The cave begins to fill with the odor of rot.Finally, night falls.  You can see the glow of fires beyond the edge of the gully. The buzzards have left, so if you decide to leave the cave and investigate, you can probably do so without making any noticeable noise.</blockquote>
