Follow the movement.
(13)You follow to the spot where you saw the movement and look around. Briefly, in another one of small passages, you see some kind of long dark-blue scaley creature, it goes away way too quickly for you to get exact appearance though. You go towards that passage and look through, but the creature is gone and don't seems to be there anymore.

Inspect the strange sphere.
Don't touch it.
((OOC:
Scionox, on Skype: Y don't touch? :3
Just saying.))
(5)You carefully move around the sphere, inspecting it, it's not affected by light but you are sure that it's made from some sort of stone. Suddenly you touch something and sphere quickly moves around then into opposite direction from you, and as you move more it changes direction of it's movement towards you,(RtD: 17-2) you move out of it's way in time though.
Total essence loss for this turn: 95, Skill points acquired: Dabbling Dodger: +2
May it is, but better sure then maybe.
Investigate the stones
(9)You investigate the different colored stones, they surely are made from somewhat different material, a bit softer than normal stone of those caves. You are not sure whether those stones can be useful or not.
Total essence loss for this turn: 70
"A sphere. How interesting!"
Examine sphere carefully. Any indication of what it might be used for? Also, don't touch it. Safety third, safety always!
(17)You examine the sphere, it's made from some kind of stone that is not affected by light and it looks like that is only it's outer shell. Suddenly sphere starts moving around, The Shifter triggered something, and before you can react it moves towards him. He dodges though. You briefly look around and notice very thin strings of light that blend very well with lighting in the area and that connect the light stone walls to the sphere in some places.

Approach eggs, examine from a short distance away and try to glean more information about them. Maybe give one an exceedingly gentle poke with the staff. Perhaps whatever laid them is still around!
(18)You find you way through vegetation and approach eggs, staying short distance away from them. To think about it now those eggs are rather large, in height they are almost the size of yourself. You gently poke one of eggs with your staff, it's shell is rather tough. At first you are not sure who those eggs belong to, but shortly in the distance of one of the passages you notice a rather big reptilian creature with fins, you feel like it's a good thing that it didn't noticed you.

Cautiously follow Kyle, peeking around to see if there isn't more movement around.
(4)You cautiously follow Kyle around, looking around you don't notice any more movement in any of the passages.
Total essence loss for this turn: 60
Praet whirrs lightly as he begins searching the area for any potential ambushers, keeping his rifle at the ready.
(1)You start looking around, keeping the rifle ready. The second you see strange movement at the edge of your view, you flip out and shoot whatever without figuring out much on what it is, or even aiming, essence projectile from your rifle misses it. Apparently it was just a small rock that fell from nearby wall.
Total essence loss for this turn: 150
Inspect circular light stones.
(11)You inspect the light stones. They seem to be same as other light stones from earlier on and there's ten of them, though, you also notice that there's two spaces that seem to be missing a light stone, one on the top left of the circle and one on the bottom.
