"You mean something else..." Cur says thinking back to the fact that they were tracking a feathered ape. He readies his weapon and prepares.

Roderigo curls his nose at the smell and readies himself for a potential attack

The rough cave tunnel gives up its secrets but uneasily. After a few minutes you hear and see nothing from beyond the gate. Eventually, you push it open and enter.
In the cave beyond as you get closer, you see it lying coiled in the strangely cool cave. It moves slightly at your approach. Monstrous and serpentine, its two great fangs protrude from the upper jaw. Strangely, it also exude an unnatural chill noticeable to anyone in close proximity. It is large enough to swallow a deer, or a man. Then you see another. Maybe a third beyond that.
Do you want to try and fight it, or sneak past *?
* Humans picking their way through the chill, serpentine bodies must make a Challenging (D2) Animal Handling test or an Average (D1) Stealth test to avoid rousing the creatures.

"This is suicide," whispers Cur. "Do we know anything about them? Shall we try and sneak past them?"

"You answered your own question, Cur. This is suicide. Look at the size of those damn things. I say we live to fight another day.. or else throw something else down their hellish necks to occupy them whilst we make our way beyond."

You wait for awhile, uncertain how to proceed, when you hear an unusual fluting. The melody is unfamiliar, strange, yet definitely repeats. A light comes from the left. The flautist has a torch, and is somehow making their way through the cave of horrors toward you. And not being eaten.
What do you do?

Confused, uncertain of what to do next, afraid maybe, Jarik finds words pour out of his mouth involuntarily - "Hail! Stranger. Who is it that serenades us with such sweet music?. And, also involuntarily, Jarik’s hand begins to caress the hilt of his sword

Cur waits silently, as Jarik attempts to chat with the musician. He tries to do his best to make sure that his body language is under control, and that he's not presenting himself in an aggressive manner. "Best not to provoke a fight here, next to those things," he thinks to himself.

A single Mekutu woman slowly emerges out of the darkness, a clump of star-fruit strung from her neck. She plays her bone pipes to pass the crawlers unscathed. She spies you and your strange manner of dress.
When you speak, she seems ready to keep playing, but tenses as of for a conflict. Jarek's words are kind, though, and she pauses whatever she was about to do.
"Who are you to come into the Crawling Caves unwelcome?"

Jarik bows his head slighty and the says, "forgive us, my lady, we did not mean to trespass. We are sent to hunt a murderous feathered ape who has been terrorising the people of these lands. I am Jarik, these are my compatriots", Jarik gestures towards his party.

"You are strangers. I have not seen your like before. That one is my enemy. The feathered ape is not down here, now go."
She is uncertain about you, and takes a strong opening position, but your words have given her pause.
She may reconsider with a good roll. Remember you can spend Doom to get an extra d20 on a roll.

"Please, my lady, tarry with us a while, it would be an honour to learn more about you and your land. In this way, we will be less likely to trespass or in some other way offend you in the future. We mean you no harm. I will lay my weapon down if this will demonstrate our good will to your satisfaction".
Jarik's hand leaves the hilt of the sword and his arms sweep outwards in a gesture of openness and supplication.
