There is a long, moment of silence on at least the part of the living construct. During the entirety of which, she stood there staring at Lukian, before finally looking to the spot... and without a word, she began the march up towards the slope. No words can sway her to stop. And following confused looks at one another, Beedo and Vark are soon to dog her steps. "You may wish to take point at sometime, Acolyte Lukian." She would say part of the way, if Lukian had not already by then.

As soon as Dork starts moving toward the eastern slope, Lukian falls into step with the construct to guide the way. "I have to admit," the elf says to her after a little while, "I was beginning to wonder if we had strayed too far from the path." He gives her a quick sideways glance, his face bright. "You know, from our holy mission. But when I once again heard the Morning Lord's voice and felt him give me direct guidance, it almost caused my heart to burst with joy."
Devin looks between them all, rolling his eyes at Beedo's obvious embellishments of his escapades within the cavern. When D and Lukian head up the slope towards some unknown spot he merely shrugs and follows after them.
"Not staying down here by myself." he mutters quietly.
Ebonitus nimbly scrambles after the others up the hillside, wondering to himself, "How can we have got this so wrong, perhaps we need to seek guidance more often."

D.O.R.K follows suit or beside Lukian, lighting a torch only once a good ways into the newfound entrance. Both construct and goblins exchange a look. And while Beedo seemed confused at first, Vark clarifies in a short whisper of goblin, prompting a "oooh", before both goblins scuttle to cover the rear. "Do not lower you guard. For while we may have been shown the way, it is not impossible for some threat to lurk here; a lesser of two evils though it may be." She whispers a warning back to the others.

Trusting in his God, Lukian climbs down inside the hole and starts to follow a winding passage deep into the hill. At places he has to lie on his stomach and wriggle forward whereas in others he has to drop off low ledges. After about 15 minutes of climbing during which loose rocks are kicked down on him by the others following - given the noise you would have thought that at times Golemogote had followed them into the shaft - he reaches what he estimates to be ground level. There is a long low tunnel leading off to the west which at most is about 3 foot high. Continuing to trust in his God, Lukian crawls on his hands and knees along the tunnel. Eventually after about 50 feet he comes to a a small grill.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lukian pulls at the grille and while it loosens does not come free - given that he is lying on his stomach he is unable to get sufficient leverage on it. He turns to D.O.R.K. who was immediately behind him and says "can you give me a hand?" {7} Realising that strength is not sufficient in itself the two of them pull out their daggers and chip away at the limestone concretions holding the grill in place. Eventually they get it free and revreal a hole about two and a half feet by two and a half feet.
After her failings last with the creature of stone, D.O.R.K holds up a finger for Lukian to wait, and then motions for her going out first. There was nothing that could be done about the light giving her away. Yet despite her suggestion, she would wait for the go ahead from Lukian, reluctantly but mutely accepting his taking point in exiting the tunnel. But she would not give him more than a minute's reprieve to investigate the area beyond the newly open hole.

A rock scramble
After waiting until the Orogs are well and truly out of sight, the party led by Lukian climbs to the top of the hill (it looks a bit like this)
{Spent three months living and working in this country a long time ago}
They clamber around for about 15 minutes before Lukian says "it 's over here" as he finds an entrance down into the hill.

Lukian very slowly and carefully enters, not wanting to be ambushed again like they were in the other cave.

He looks in the grill.
As Lukian peers through the grill he can see that it opens up into a larger chamber which in itself appear to be an offshoot of a much larger chamber.
{DM Secret roll = 19}

Lukian pulls on the grate to test whether he can open it.
It’s a bit loose so make a strength test
