Musashi stands over the wreckage of the fight, the adrenaline fading into a dull irritation as he looks at his still-filthy armor. He wipes his maul clean on the cloak of a fallen berserker, his eyes narrowing at the discussion regarding the missing arm.
"A portal, a spell, or a very hungry void" Musashi grunts, leaning his weapon against the stone wall. "Whatever it was, it didn't stop them from trying to kill us. If someone's up there throwing Disintegrate aroundor closing portals on their own men, we aren't walking into a friendly greeting party."
He looks up the 120-foot shaft, then back at the group.
"We’re as rested as we’re going to get. If these Berserkers found us here, more will follow, or whoever is above will realize their scouts haven't returned. I say we move now before the next surprise has a chance to drop on our heads."
“Agreed…” chews out Etrus, as usual, slowly speaking the word like it is the first time using his voice in many years.
Then, in Musashi’s mind, there is the usual chorus of voices, a mix of mixes of his own voice and Etrus’ in various proportions.
[An unfriendly greeting party to the Beserkers might not be an unfriendly greeting party to us. After all, this is the one who none come out, and that doesn’t mean there’s not still some folk inside it. Trapped or choosing to stay for some reason.]
((If you’re able to answer it, if we’ve been told, but it was more for IC if the others felt it was likely cause I didn’t remember us being sure which way was correct. If I’ve just forgotten though, sure!)

Etrus has not forgotten our agreement with the Behir. Is the shaft the way to the Beholder?
Gail answers, "Behir didn't' tell us how to get to the beholder. Since we weren't given any directions, I suppose we should continue just moving forward."
Etrus rubs one long thumbnail against a carving of a large and faceted eye on his Rod of the Pact Keeper and shivers briefly as compacted magic breathes into him (restoring one pact slot) and then casts Invisibility and takes his place in the marching order.
[The next time we take a short or long rest, Etrus will change his tome of shadow spells to include the Alarm spell ritual, to try and avoid us being caught short this way again, as far as we can reasonably prevent it. I'm still not sure I understand how we were all asleep in our bedrolls with the beserkers over us when we had a person on each watch, beyond some sleep spell that we failed?]
As you walk up the tunnel, you all see the tunnel start moving slightly up, then it gradually gets steeper, climbing at a 20 degree angle, and going in a circular shape, like the tunnel is going to circles
Anything you would like to do with this new information?
Gail comments, "Looks like we may end up in same place as the vertical tunnel, but this is easier to climb. Especially if we have to fight on the way up."
Musashi presses his back against the curved stone, his grip tightening on the maul. Hearing the grumbling voices above, he signals the group to douse their lights. "Let them come to us" he whispers, moving to the front of the curve. "In this spiral, they won't see the hammer until it's already swinging."

Scarlett looks at the incomplete berserker "I wonder if he was the last one through a portal and wasn't quick enough?"

Nothing more, the arm just appears to have disappeared

JoJo also agrees.
If you are going to move on, you can continue moving forward, the direction that the bezerkers came from, or you can somehow go up the shaft

Doc Jojo nods in agreement.
As you all walk up the tunnel, you hear the slight sound of footsteps coming down the tunnel, cursing how long the walk is
