"A breeze would aid in the dispersion of heat. Thank you Squall" Jax would say as the light of his eye flickers a bit and he gives her a small nod. "During our rest, I finished construction of my [magic item]alchemy jug[/magic item]. I Originally intended to use it to help keep the survivors of the crash hydrated. I assume we will not reunite with them today so if any of you require a drink, I can produce up to four gallons of beer or twelve gallons of fresh water if you would like." The warforged would say while making his way through the hot tunnels.
Squall gladly fans anyone who consents with a cooling breeze. Each time she does the mark on her arm swirls looking for a moment as if blown by a breeze also. "The water would probably be best when the time comes. Best to keep our wits."
"I have to finish my study of your Mark after this," Tara adds, fascinated. "If I added my own personal experience to my prior notes from study, it could be most enlightening to my understanding of the Pr-of my research," she corrects herself.
Squall - (And Tara just making sure we’re on the same page)
The Draconic Prophecy is a record of things to come that has been playing out since creation.
The dragons of Argonnessen observe and record everything from the position of the moons and stars, to the position of the Ring of Siberys to physical manifestations of dragonmarks in the world, all of which they study looking for portents and omens of things to come. The prophecy encompasses many many volumes and is said to be as complex and unfathomable as the dragons themselves. A few among the scholarly study snippets of the massive work, but only the dragons with their incredibly long lifespan, the elves of Aerenal, and the immortal rakshasa have the ability and patience to see the prophecy for what it truly is.
Recently dragonmarks have formed on the so-called lesser races. Although the dragons are divided as to what this might mean, they are no less interested in studying the new bearers of the draconic prophecy.
It is unknown what the draconic prophecy's nature is. Some argue it is a revelation of the end of the world, others of a new beginning. Whatever the means it is obvious that the prophecy points towards the transformation of the world as we know it.
The group Begins to wander in the dark and barely lit cavern. Jax struggles a bit for a while in the front. In the stone ground there aren’t any tracks, you don’t even know what you’re looking for, the trapped humidity is making it difficult to see clearly. You trek for quite a few hours before you begin hear buzzing overhead. What looks like large flying wasps fluttering and droning up in the air in the distance away. (Maybe 10-20 minute walk to be directly underneath of them)
Tara glances at the others. "Seems promising." The young woman is showing a much cooler head than she had on the ship, perhaps having time to prepare and anticipate this is what's keeping her nerves calm, or maybe it's that she's too distracted by their unusual surroundings to be panicking.
Jax would look up and slowly turn his head from side to side as though scanning for threats (Perception! 21) The warforged focuses his lens as the light seems to pulse as he strains to spot as many winged creatures as possible flying above.

At the same time, Lucky's watching behind them to make sure they're not being followed. This is further below ground than I ever cared to go, he says idly to no-one in particular. I can't imagine living down here in the dark all the time.Perception19. Did anyone see that? No? Just me?
Jax you look to see flying type large insects flying in a line. They appear to be drones in search of materials or some type of food as you see some picking up items in the distance and flying away while other circle around.
Lucky doesn’t see anyone behind them. The flowing lava as he walks be makes shadows flicker like an open flame. He is having a hard time concentrating. The acoustics in the cavern resonate at a different frequency in which the group is used to. Causing the occasional auditory hallucinations. Creepy, but no one is there.
“I agree Lucky. It’s awful being down here.” There is a slightly panicked quality to her voice. The we see the insects. “What are those? Do you think that’s what we’re supposed to kill? Let’s take care of them and get out of here!”
We're looking for their queen, right? says Lucky, eyeing the insects. I guess whatever they're collecting, they're taking to her. So, we... follow? He has a thought, and laughs. Hey, our 'employers' said they don't like sound, right? Maybe I should sing to them. He jerks a thumb towards the lute strapped to his back.
"They appear to be drones... searching for food to take back to their hive" Jax would say before looking to his companions. When Lucky mentions singing to them, his eye would flicker for a moment. "If we could magnify the volume of your voice, I do believe we could weaponize your songs" The warforged would reply... "I currently do not have any devices or magical spells capable of performing that magnifying your voice.. or to create loud noises.." The warforged would add before looking to the large insects. "I do believe we should follow them."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lucky squeezes his eyes closed and shakes himself, trying to get rid of whatever is disorienting him in this alien environment. He opens them again, and looks at the light. Hiding sounds like a good idea, but we'll have two folks who can't see too good, I guess. How about I try and get a bit closer? Lucky moves up and tries to get a bit nearer to the drones, looking to see where they are headed. Stealth18

“I can supply loud noise a plenty. Though it would be best if the rest of you were not to close to me when I do so.”
Virnen chimes in. ”loud noise will disorient them, but we should wait until we follow them to their hive.”

“If we plan to follow them do we need to find a place to hide so they don’t see us now? Perhaps you should put out your light Jax?”
