The Party debates the meaning of the cards, and eventually decides any monster they face is much better than running around in the Trap Masters rat maze.
." the stone head says humbly. Which is funny, since he's REALLY heavy, despite being compact. In fact, anyone carrying him will suffer a -1 to agility, and won't be able to cast him off in the middle of a battle.
The cavern they enter is wide, but has a very low descending ceiling, and soon enough, the Kai are all crawling on their stomachs, maneuvering through an increasingly smaller space. Claustrophobia sets in, but their fear is held in check by the concept of being attacked in this place while they cannot defend themselves. War Wind shrieks as he feels something touch his leg! But It was just Merames tail.
Eventually, they see some light ahead-through an impossibly small gap, which takes them a few minutes of offloading equipment and squeezing through one by one.
The Cavern that it opens into, is a little bit higher now, but still cramped. The walls here are covered with bits of fresh slime that smell like rotted flesh, and look like coagulated red jelly.
There's three paths that lead from here-the rightmost one goes downward, and the walls are wet with condensation. Pressing Tide claims to hear the faint sounds of a running river coming from it's depths.
Another way is a climb up a steep embankment right in front of you-it's slavered in the red slime, and the smell wafting from there is bad indeed. If the creature is sleeping somewhere up there, though, this may be a chance.
The Final path to your left, stretches about ten feet, then meets a wall and two more paths.
