Waking up early in the “morning”, Edwin sits watch with Nacht and talks with it a bit, interested that it doesn’t need to sleep. Eventually shrugging, he goes back to sleep until the time arrives to get moving again.
Karys is perplexed by Nacht's lack of need for sleep, but then again she's never met one of his kind before. It may not be the best time, but her curiosity won't be sated until she asks more about him.
"Where did you come from, Nacht? I've never met a ... one of you before. You're not from the Material Plane right?"
Nacht's voice is accompanied by the usual eldritch whispers. "No. Not from here. From far beyond these borders. Deeper into the underground abyss. Someday, I will return..."

Edwin isn't able to find much, and the supplies dwindle the next day.
You continue on, and on the next day of travel, you come across a large cavern filled with rocks and stalagmites. The path forward has a large sigil drawn on it:
The drow (who you now know as Sarith after traveling for a few days) steps forward, eyeing the sign warily. Demons ahead he announces dryly.

Dagna sighs at Sarith's announcement. "Like those vulture creatures? Damned things seemed resistant to everything I threw at them." She tries to recall what she knows of demons, especially any weaknesses they might have.
Nacht seems to sigh. "Is there a different way we can go?" It turns to the kuo-tao. "You said your home was the closest?"

After a long pause with no further discussion, Edwin becomes impatient. Drawing the Drow Longsword and readying his shield, he moves to the front, saying, “If there is a way around, excellent. If not, let us continue and be wary—either for actual demons or those who wish to pose as such to keep unwanted guests at bay.”

Karys nods her head in agreement with Edwin. "Staying still too long down here seems like a bad idea," she says. "Let's keep moving. We'll do our best to avoid these demons."
With that, she will follow along with Edwin, keeping an eye out for danger and also grabbing any barrelstalk she sees along the way.

The day passes without further incident...if there were demons here, they are here no longer.
The travel over the rugged terrain doesn't get any easier, but after several more days you're able to hear gentle waves lapping at the rock, and soon you get to the outer banks of the Dark Lake. Ahh, we are close to Sloobludop Shuushar says, and begins leading the way around the lake. Soon, you can see what looks like a massive tangle of reeds in the distance, lit by glowing spots of phosphorescence. The village of Sloobludop is just ahead.

Glad their perseverance seems to have paid off, Edwin moves along with the joyous Shuushar. Staying at the ready but with no weapons drawn, he looks around curiously as they approach, still wary for danger.

Karys sighs with relief as the village of Sloobludop comes into view. What a name, she thinks wryly to herself as they proceed toward the phosphorescence.
"What can we expect in the village, Shuushar?" the fighter asks. "I'm hoping it's a warm welcome. A hot bath and some real food would be nice too."
Dagna sighs as she watches Nacht and Edwin bicker, allowing herself a slight smile as she tries to get to sleep
