Ash glances up in thought. "For me, dreams have always been a place where one's subconscious expresses itself. Whether that come in the form of a good dream or a bad dream. However, there are the cases of people who have dreams that can predict the future in a way. But really a dream in it's general term is a bunch of pictures and scenery created in ones sleep state."

Huey rolls over on his makeshift sleeping mat, and comments "Huey dreams! Uh-huh! Gooder dreams of orc mates!" he then lets out an obnoxious teenager laugh, rolls back away from facing the group, and continues to quietly laugh at his own comment.
DAY THREE PACE: FAST ENCOUNTERS:8, 15, 4 PURSUIT LEVEL:TWO
Day three began quite normally. We all got up, gathered our things, and decided to march on towards the Darklake. We were halfway there. All we could hear as we marched quickly was dripping water echoing throughout the caverns. At around afternoon time, it all changed. For hours, our journey that day was plagued by terrible shrieks, moans, and incoherent gibbering echoing through nearby passages, without any apparent origin. Never have I heard such sounds before, like something beyond this universe was nearby, but not. It was difficult to explain with words, but we were all very nervous in the dark with these noises. Even I, who have glimpsed into what the beauty of the universe has to offer, was on edge.
Each player must make a successful DC11 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, your madness level increases by 1. On a nat1, it increases by 2. If you pass, you are shaken, but not stirred.
As they walk, Ash frowns at the sudden change in background noise. I know I always hear whispers... But this is... unerving me. More than usual... that is...
Wisdom Save: 12

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The dripping was bad enough. Enkindle had already been paranoid about some underground river being just overhead, waiting to burst down and... and... But she gritted her teeth, and pushed forward with the rest. Though for a time she kept a closer eye on the ceiling, and at least one hand free ready to clutch a wall or stalagmite in the event of a deluge. Then came the shrieking...
Madness???: 22.
Shrieks and moans and gibbering things? What initial nervousness that left her guard turned into a welcome distraction. She would still scan nearby passages as the group went on, waiting to feed some fiendish abomination her mace at a moment's notice! Every now and then others could swear they heard her muttering, "Come on then, ya ****ers. Come on. Give me a reason to let ball breaker swing."
After a good night of rest, Talike returns to her spot in the back of the marching order. When the voices begin to rise up, Talike tightly shuts her eyes and covers her ears. Her face appears strained in concentration. Wisdom save : 3.

Only a few seconds after the shrieking, moaning, and gibbering begins, Talike releases a pained howl and collapses. Her eyes remain wide in fear, and she doesn't move a muscle.

Ash notices Talike and sighs, moving to comfort her. "God. Talike. The longer you stay here, the worse it will get. Come on. Up with you." She will try to assist Talike to her feet and walk with her.

"Declaration: Talike has succumbed to an effect that has attacked her mental functions and is incapacitated. This unit will carry her." And the unit does so, carrying the catatonic woman for as long as she is in this state.
"Oh dear."Jezzika said sadly, watching Duke lift her effortlessly on to his back.
What has entered the Underdark? What is going on here?
HORRORS FROM BELOW. BE CAREFUL.
..horrors from below..? Umbra, what is happening?
SOON.
"Oh no."she sighed, again sad, "Huey! Hey. Como on." she pat his cheek. And when that didn't work, tried something else. "Hey!"And she slapped him hard. "Focus! Come! Mama here. Follow!"
Duke stands there silently, not saying one word or another about Enkindles explanation of dreams, allowing other party members to give their input.

She heard the thud behind her, turned around. Talike.
"Talike.." Jezzika went on her knees and did her best to comfort Talike.
LET THAT ONE BE. LEAVE IT. IT IS WEAK.
No it..SHE..is not. Have some compassion.
EMOTIONS ARE TRIVIAL. INCONSEQUENTIAL.
I don't think so. She needs help. Feelings are ok to have.
A WEAKNESS.

Talike does not react to Ash's words. She remains frozen in place as if someone has just pressed pause on her life.
"Oh dear." Jezzika said sadly, watching Duke lift her effortlessly on to his back.
