Chapter 7: To Gravenhollow

The "night", though very tense, passes without incident and you wake up slightly more refreshed that before.

With Elfog feeling much better, you begin moving again, following the path shown to you by the amulet.

For the next 45 days, you travel through the lightless corridors of the Underdark, occasionally encountering monsters, but thankfully no more demons.

"There's something ahead, be cautious, I will be watching," Sarith reports one day as you are following the amulet's guidance.

As you round a corner, you see a many-legged reptile stretch out as if it has been sitting for a long while, avoiding your eyes as it looks to the rocky floor at your feet. "About time you lot arrived! Come! The library bid me guide you to the gates, and I've waited too long for you already."

Hunter and Xeliss both recognize this as a basilisk, a creature that can turn a man to stone with merely a look. That explains why it keeps staring at the ground rather than at you.
