Those peering at the corpses of the beetles witness the wounds start oozing copious amounts of black, stinking fluid. The carapace started melting also, first thinning and converting to a thicker black goo, then collapsing on itself like a hollow chocolate ball left in the summer heat. Most of the cave explored so far had been fairly slick, but the area below where the attack occurred was even more so and demanded careful steps. No one can see a back wall in the direction the beetles came from, and it would seem that there may be more to explore in this direction. There were also a few other passages leading outwards from the main chamber with the stirges.

Sorry, I tried to make a map with shanizar's, but it is exporting differently now and doesn't work.

Roll a spot, everyone.
