Rested up and well fed, you head into the woods following the little halfling boy. His mother says, "You show them where it is and come right back!"
Just a couple minutes walking East and Carp points to a thicket. "it's right there." Then he turns and runs away, "Maybe I'll wait til I'm bigger to be an adventurer!"
In the brush is a narrow opening that you could all squeeze through, even Absinthe, that opens up into a 5' wide tunnel, tall enough to stand in, but Absinthe may have to crouch. Those with darkvision see it continue past the distance this trait allows you to see.
Fjolnir heads in first, followed by Absinthe, Az Emberi, Dirk and Hymir last, who casts light on a rock and places it in his pocket.
You continue through the tunnel for about 100' until it opens up into a large cavernous room. A cold breeze fills this large natural cavern, carrying with it the faint scent of decaying flesh. A crevasse divides the cavern and is flanked by two rough stone columns that support the twenty-foot-high ceiling. Two arched wooden bridges span the chasm. There is no light in the main chamber, but dim light is visible from the sides and back of the cavern.
Az Emberi sees a humanoid shape dart behind the pillar on the West side of the bridges. It didn't look... natural. You have never seen anything with a silhouette like that.
Sniffing the air. "There is something here. I don't know what it is but it is behind that pillar. It know's we're here we may have lost the element of surprise."
"This place smells like the laundry rooms for the dwarven mines... only its darker... and there are more blind people..." Fjolnir whispers over his shoulder. "Arsehole's about to bite a chunk outta my night shorts. If its ok with you fellers, im going to try to slip forward up 10' ahead or so and look into that pocket on the left?"
Fjolnir slips forward a little bit, just enough to peer down the hallway to the left, and also sees one on the right, and what looks to be the start of another one 40' forward and to the left. There looks like there might be yet another one ahead of you past the Northern pillar, as dim light seems to be coming from all four locations, but you can't see a source, and it doesn't reach the natural cavern at all. The hallway to the right ends 15' in and turns right, the one on the left goes down some stairs and turns right after 20-25', with a door on the left.
At this point, all of you hear whispers. Nonsensical whispers, with gibberish non-words peppered in. Then a cackle that could only belong to a mad-man, and the word "Hungry." You realize this does not come from any point or even echo throughout the cavern, but is being forced directly into your mind in an invasive form of communication that passes the defenses of your ears and leaves you feeling violated and exposed.
Absinthe Only:
"You've become what your master feared you would, despite his warnings. You're a disappointment."
I pull out my light source (white this time) and look around to see if I can see any source of this spell (or the source that would be rolling anything)
I am hungry! How did you know? I'll have the corned beef, scrambled eggs, slice of ham and some french toast. What do you have to drink here? 18. I'm persuading the psychic whispers to make me breakfast
"Wouldn't be much of a homestead if I didn't!"
