Iroven relaxed after the beast finally fell, "Bothersome creatures! Where are they coming from exactly?"

Artesia indignantly calls back, "You could be a little nicer! We did help save your life, you know!"

"Doorstep?" Koram asks with a raised eyebrow, "Do you live here? We are making an attempt to clear these caves of danger - they may soon see more of our Following passing through. If you live nearby, we would want to know how to cause you as little trouble as possible."

"I wouldn't need saving if it hadn't been for you in the first place. This is more like my second home," she continues. "I come here every few months to resupply. Never anyone around, but today there seems to be plenty."

Iroven looked with raised eyebrows, "This is your second home? Where do you live? How big is this network of caves?" He was genuinely surprised when he heard that people were living inside here. This cave was getting more interesting as they moved deeper into it.

"All alone..." she mutters barely audible until she is interrupted by Tomas' question.
"Huh? What? Oh others, yes," she begins. "The necromancers are here, but something killed them. Good riddance if you ask me."
"I guess you are excused. You seemed to handle those gargoyles just fine. I'm leaving tonight. You're welcome to use my little cave here if you need to rest. But make sure the survivor don't come back and kill you in your sleep."

"Necromancers? Foulness indeed. It is likely a very good thing they are gone. You need not tell us where you live - I respect your care in your security. It's difficult being alone. I was alone for many years as a lad, until I found Haitith-" the Eidolon picks his head up and huffs air through his nose, but otherwise remains silent, "-and without a family until I found our Following. The Broken Tusk has a habit of picking up the lost and alone...if you need a place to be, I am certain you would be welcome."

Iroven nodded at Koram's words, "You need not fend off whatever monsters are hiding in this cave. You can join the following if you like. We more than welcome new persons. But, ultimately, it's your choice."

Iroven looked back at others and shrugged, "Well, I guess we should continue exploring then. We can come back and rest here when we will need it. Let's check on this side." He pointed at the tunnel on the southwest.

You walk a little to the south west when you Koram and Tomas can hear voices from a cave to the south. In addition they can smell a faint sign of cooking over a fire.
The voices are still far off and hard to pick out. What little you can pick up though, they seem to be worried that someone is delayed returning.

"This place is more crowded than Absalom on a festival day!" Artesia says with exasperation.

"Shh, we will ask the elders of it later" Tomas whispers "Lets see if we can get close and see if they are friend or foe?"
Tomas will proceed to sneak closer

Koram and Haitith move as quietly as they can, following Tomas and hoping to get a better understanding of who these other strangers are.

Iroven looked at all his armor and shook his head, "I will probably stay here. With all this armor it would make lot of sounds and give away our presence. I will stay here at the edge. Signal me if anything happens."

As you pass within the inner chamber, you see a hunter warming himself in front of the fire. He stands as you enter, and reaches for his bow lying on the ground next to him.
"To arms my friends! The vile dragon's servants think they can ambush us!"
