Down in the Depths

You all step aside as the cube comes slowly through your direction, and then continues on its path southward, opening the northern pass that it previously occupied.



After some exploration in these halls, you find an empty closet, one unassuming dead end to the west, and one dead end to the east with a strange divot that looks to be the size of Krinn. There is also a path northward that seems to continue on into the dungeon.

"Kevin, can you place me into that groove? I haven't seen this section of this floor before. I want to know what's going on here."

Once it is placed in that groove, you see the various gems encrusted into the docent glow in a strange interval, and then those gems pulse with light all at once, and then the lights stop pulsing.

Kevin gets the sense that the integration is done, and he removes Krinn and places him back onto his iron companion, and Krinn says,

"We should head northward. The northern part of this floor has the first library that we should investigate.

"Be careful, though. According to the interface, there are monsters roaming the halls."

As you all look back after focusing on this interaction, you realize that Mrak is gone.

What kind of monsters?

"Look at the size of them!" Ghillie said excitedly. "I hope we can communicate without having to stab them to death."

Gunnar shrugs at Ghillie's comment as if he wasn't sure which of those two options he was hoping for.

Alin looks a little disappointed as Krinn relays information about the creature’s roaming the halls and continues to scan the corridors for signs of intelligent life.

Kevin wound'nt be the man that is is if he didn't poke the metal-looking liquid with a stick.

"Careful, Kevin. Colourful things are often deadly," the druid cautioned as a vine poked out from his leafy chest. "I can poke it from very far away."

Doubledoors are a sign of importance, I suggest we check in here before moving ahead further

When Kevin reaches the relative fresh thi-kreen body, he draws his sword and readies his shield.
Carefull now - there could be monsters about.

"A fresh kill," Ghillie said as he inspected the body.

"No no, you're looking at it upside down, my friend. That's the ass end! It's like a bug but also man, see?"

"Of course, dwarf-friend. I'm used to bugs eating the dead bodies, not being the dead bodies..."

"The lower you go, the weirder it gets," he responds.

Alin looks disgusted at the gore. "Certainly not how I would have done it. A mess like that is a mindless kill."
Alin frowns at Gunnar "A man like bug you say? What would eat such a thing? A giant size bird? ".
