Does this look similar to what Chadwick saw in the fish bowl? Does the glow provide enough light for weak human eyes, or will we need the driftglobe?
"Well folks let's go rescue a damsel in distress."
Chadwick draws his Cutlass and a dagger feeling very much like a swashbuckler form the bards stories. He hopes he doesn't cut himself like he was prom to in sparring sessions.
Starker: “In order that we not get lost or miss any areas I suggest we head to the east and then make right hand turns at all opportunities.
“Shall we proceed quickly and loudly or should we send Cyrus and Ajax up ahead and stealthily follow behind? Frankly, after tamely accepting being bashed into a wall to serve as a distraction, I would not object to a fight to help me re-achieve my famed emotional balance.”
Starker shares Cyrus’ senses and sends him off ahead to the eastern pathway, asking someone to guide Starker’s steps as he will be looking through Cyrus’ eyes.
Starker will quietly narrate what Cyrus is sensing along the way.
The tunnel proceeds a short distance and comes to a branching point. A second passage is to the left. The lichens/moss continue to provide a dim light. There is more humidity in the air here as well.
Cyrus approaches a convergence of tunnels. The dimly lit passages converge here into a four way intersection. Ahead, he sees the skeletal remains of a humanoid lying on the edge of the passage.
Starker:”There may be danger ahead. Cyrus sees what appears to be the skeletal remains of a humanoid ahead at a four way intersection. I will have him hold just short of the intersection while we join him and investigate.”
Cyrus moves a bit ahead and holds, looking as far down the roght hand branch as he can and then staying still he will listen very carefully for any noises. After a minute of this, if nothing unusual is notes, Starker will return to his senses and join Cyrus. Token moved assuming that happens.
Cyrus looks down each tunnel to see more tunnels dimly lit by the moss/lichens. Another set of skeletal remains can be seen down the right side tunnel.
Starker moves up to the skeletal remains and looks them over. They have rotted remnants of clothing scraps on the bones. It appears to have been a human in life. You notice that there is a hole in the skull about 3" in diameter. The edges show signs of teeth marks as if the hole was created by gnawing through the skull.
A beast comes running around the corner of the cave. It is covered in white fur and moving quickly on all fours. Great talons extend from it fore and rear paws. A mouth full of vicious teeth snarls as it approaches and attacks Starker, slashing with its claws. Claws to hit = 18 for 5 slashing damage, 22 for 9 slashing damage. The beast then withdraws, giving Starker a reaction opportunity.

The lichens/moss provide dim light in the tunnels you can see.
Comparing the cave the image in the globe, this looks consistent. It was a rough sketch in the globe of a spiral staircase ending in a natural cavern.
Starker feeds Cyrus 3 unmarked dried mango slices with his bare hands.
Cyrus accepts the mango slices and hungrily devours them. He is quite pleased.
Kragen thinks to himself… an odd number 3? Why not 42?
Then returns his thoughts to more productive endeavors such as which passage should we choose? Are there clues which provide the answer??

Hoid, “Send the murder monkey ahead in the search pattern you proposed. I will follow at the limit of my vision.”
Put together a marching order on the map.
Done

The tunnel proceeds a short distance and comes to a branching point. A second passage is to the left. The lichens/moss continue to provide a dim light. There is more humidity in the air here as well.
So as not to leave an unexplored area behind us, Cyrus goes left.
The left tunnel continues on.
Starker: ‘The passage continues as far as Cyrus can see. I suggest we follow him quietly at a distance.’
Cyrus continues his scouting by moving forward.
(moved Starker token assuming whoevers guiding him agrees)
Hoid will guide Starker. Icon moved accordingly.

You notice that the air is drier here.
Starker has Cyrus jump up on shoulder and then Starker heads over to investigate the skeketal remains.
investigation roll=21
