The tunnel looks structurally safe and it won't collapse if anyone passing through were to hit the walls on accident. Gunnar notices small grooves in the walls, probably from claws or talons or whatever sharp body part the creatures use for digging purposes. The grooves are about half an inch wide at the bottom but widen out pretty fast in sort of a V shape. Taking one step into the tunnel for a better look Gunnar also notices that the dust created from digging mixed with the moist environment has made a fine mud that covers the floor of the. As he peers into the dark tunnel he feels a heat unlike the rest of the tunnels you've passed through already. The heat is comfortable.

The boar leads the way down the semi-tight tunnel with Tovar in the rear. The tunnel leads maybe 100 feet into the mountain before opening into a T intersection. The here caves are taller here, maybe 7 or 8 feet high and much wider. The cave is pitch dark but you hear a clicking sound echoing, bouncing from wall to wall, making it hard to discern from which direction the noise is coming from. The atmosphere in here is growing hotter, but the humidity in the air stays about the same.

"On your guard, everyone," the cleric hisses. He grips his hammer and readies toll the dead to be unleashed at the sign of anything monstrous and spiny.
Tovar at last shuffles through the tight passage. "Yoi!" he grunts, pushing himself past a final bit of sharp stone. He dusts himself off, re-readies his torch, and peers into the dark. "Hmm. Water drip, perhaps?"
You wait, weapons drawn and on the ready, but the clicking grows weaker, not stronger. After 20 or 30 seconds of intense suspense, nothing. Suddenly the clicking stops and you hear nothing but the exhale of the breath you've been holding in the seconds past.

Ravi chuckles. "Ruby, do us a favor and try some deep breathing," He says, not unkindly. "We don't need something larger and more unexpected than your bubbles bringing the tunnel down over our heads if you get spooked, eh?"
“Yes, thank you for that grim reminder of our current position, Cycle. Don’t lose that optimism.” Gunnar sighs sarcastically and stows his crossbow. “Well, might as well continue.”

As you're having this conversation Ravi notices something out the corner of his eye. Some movement to the right, only for a brief moment. Then the entire group hears a scratching sound and something that sounds like rocks being thrown around on a stone floor.

You gather that the boar would fit through the tunnel with ease and the tunnel looks untouched. At least you see no prints in the fine mud.

"Pop, pop, ...clicking sound?" Ruby sighs in relief as her voice comes back and the last of the bubbles dissipate.
Gunnar levels his crossbow, readying a shot.

"Hmm. See? Now all dry."
"Or, it has noticed us."
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
"I prefer my imagination, but thank you."
Ravi chuckles. "Ruby, do us a favor and try some deep breathing," He says, not unkindly. "We don't need something larger and more unexpected than your bubbles bringing the tunnel down over our heads if you get spooked, eh?"
