A series of underground tunnels opened up to a large chamber. As eyes adjusted a grim scene unfolded. A large glowing mushroom added much needed light to the chamber. Large shadows loomed overhead. Piles of bones and body parts dotted the floor. It was clear at once that they had found the entrance to the upper under-dark. A plan was made to double back and investigate a new direction.
A steady light glowed at the end of the tunnel. Pas tenderly led the group ahead in 40 foot increments. Up ahead he noticed something and held his hand up to silently stop the group. Phae once again cast message to ensure the group could communicate without being heard.
A thin filament line caught Pas' eye and he motioned for Fox to move ahead and examine. Immediately Fox notices the deadfall that the line is attached to. The trap has a slight glow which indicates a touch of magic. He disarms the trap allowing safe passage.
Another 100 feet down the tunnel a second and smaller tunnel branched off through the ceiling. The opening was barely big enough to crouch. Unfortunately for Groth this meant that he would have to traverse it on all fours.
The large green man placed his palms on the walls and braced himself. One by one the party climbed his back and pulled themselves into the opening. Once in Pas turned to lend a hand to Groth and quickly realized that he would not be able to assist his large frame.
"Once he plugs this hole there will be no more light!" Pas explained to the group.
