Into the Barrier Peaks

Just passed the empty room, the main hallway turns again to the right. Again you see more doors, though these appear to have slot panels be of yet a new color - Orange.

You stop to examine the orange-colored door but find nothing odd or abnormal about it. As you turn to leave, however, you hear sound coming from the far side. It is very faint, almost imperceptible in the echoing noises ever-present in these weird caves, but you heard a distinct noise that sounded like a bell, gong and a squawking bird of some kind.

Roll an investigation check

Awesome, that's my best skill. :)

Leading your group down the hallway, it ends in a door with a violet-colored panel. A quick investigation reveals nothing of interest, so you turn north. The hallway continues out of sight, but along the way you see yet another door on the right. In the distance, Bram's light reveals a 4-way intersection.More of the same, metal halls, same grated floor, and strange pipes and wires running the length of the ceiling. Trash and debris litter the place, strewn about as if someone were just kicking it around while they walk.

You continue to feel the strange vibration emanating from somewhere within the caves, and the noises remind you of times you walked in the deep forests of Geoff. Just passed the intersection, you can see another opening with no door.

You slowly make your way up the hallway to the large intersection. Across from you you can see a large pile of trash clogging the corridor, while the other two branches seem to be clear. At the end of the east branch you see that it turns left, yet another addition to the twisting maze of empty hallways. Down there, however, you can see flickering light. Not torchlight or some kind of fire, but a vibrating blue-whiteAs you take stock of what is going on, you suddenly hear screeches and grunts, followed by what sounds like angry chattering coming from an open doorway next to the trash heap. Before you can respond, a dark figure emerges from the doorway. It is a humanoid-looking figure, perhaps 3-4 feet tall and very thin. It's misshapen head, razor teeth and claws give it the look of a living plant. A crude spear of some sort is being carried by it, as as soon as it sees you it freezes.

A split second later, the creature begins stomping the floor, waving its spear and screeching angrily in your direction. Inside, you hear an eruption of more calls just like the one emitting by the plant-thing, and you realize that there are more of the things in the room.
