Tunnels

Skeeve senses a bit of magic from one of the piles on the floor

Skeeve moves a bit into the cave to be able to poke the pile with his pole. As the pile is disturbed it becomes quickly apparent that most of the pile consists of a set of scale armor is shades of dark dull blue with light blue sleeves and silver trim. Now surrounded by the scraps you can all smell the faintest hint of old rotten meat and a shiver runs down your spines.

The armor is in remarkable condition considering the state of everything else in the area. It does show a bit of wear and tear as teeth or claws dug into the edges of it to dig out the chewy middle. The scattered remnants nearby, an od bit of cloth, cracked bits of bone, the odd coin would take considerable effort to reconstruct into anything large enough to be a threat. But something was obviously consumed here within the last week.

Skeeve throws the light up 30 feet to reveal a stelagtite covered roof only 10 or 15 feet higher. As this happens. Several of the "stelagtite" laying themselves directly at the party.

As you were already looking up to find a foe you note that these attacks are not straight down. As the apparent stone stalactites begin to descend they speed up and curve to slam into you. Only about half of the "stalactites" have fallen to attack you but so well were they camouflaged that you are uncertain if those that did not move are simply biding their time or simple stone.

As they fall you see long tendrils trailing behind with large flaps of skin between them The creature uses the webbed tentacles to aid it in its controlled fall and flipping over at the last second to slam into you broad end first with its tentacles digging into you with sharp protrusions like teeth or claws. You immediately begin withdrawing, trailing blood from the savage gashes. You quickly outpace the clumsy movement of the creatures that either crawl along the floor or hover awkwardly, flapping their fleshy tentacled wings to advance or gain altitude. The creatures obviously use some means of magic to assist with their flight for none of you have ever seen such ungainly flying creatures.A couple of the creatures attempt to give chase but as you withdraw into the smaller tunnel passage then give up and all begins floating up towards the ceiling.
