(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

There is the tunnel to the east that Drax first entered the room through. There is a secret (now not so secret) stair leading down to the west. There is a tunnel to the north. There are goblin bodies (already examined by Drax) lying on the floor in front of the stairs. And there is a huge stalagmite in the middle of the room. Other than that Drax sees nothing.

Down the stairs Drax still hears the movement of the spider.

 

[Dalamar]

"Nothing... no reason to stay here."
Drax starts tracing his steps back along the eastern tunnel

 

[Wicht]

oops - got east west mixed up in the last post. In my defense its way too hot here and my brain is slightly fried today

Drax walks back west, passing first through one room and then entering the main entrance to the cavern.

The spacious room has exits in all the cardinal directions, the one to the south is the exit out. The one going east is the one Drax just came out of.

Through the northern tunnel, Drax thinks he sees a flash of fire-light in the distance and then it is gone.

 

[Dalamar]

"Who's there!?"
Drax starts moving along the north tunnel, slowly at first but will move faster if there's no reply.

 

[Wicht]

There is no reply and Drax races North.

He passes through a large room, scarcely noticing it for ahead he sees a flash of the flame again.

But as he runs out of the room and continues north, a large rat leaps from his left out of a side tunnel and attacks him.

As Drax tries to fight it off, he realizes with horror that the beast has maggots crawling in its eye sockets and that its fur is rotting and dropping off in patches.
