The group moves north with Damara in the lead and Caradoc bringing up the rear. As you cautiously pass through the somewhat narrow walls of the ravine, you round a corner and see that it opens up into an open-air room of sorts. Inside of this room are two giant centipedes. Even the giant versions of these critters are still considered to be "small beasts" in D&D terms.
((In case Damara doesn't kill it.. and because of my whacky schedule/life, I'm just going to put this out.)) Aeneas steps up, absolutely repulsed by the centipede, and aims to lop off its head with his Greatsword.
Attack: 8 Damage: 9

Gotcha. Just as a backup, in case Damara DOES kill the centipede, was there anything you would want to do after combat is over?
He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment and then burps. “Oh goodness. I should perhaps get more used to success with you all, instead of celebrating quite so hard for any measly victory. I never thought I’d actually do anything like,” and he waves his hand vaguely at the centipedes and surroundings, “this.”
The three of you move into the next area where several adventurer corpses are scattered throughout the room, and a crushed helm lies in the east side of the room. The path turns south.
Damara will check around the area and around the bend to the south as Caradoc checks the bodies, looking for any sign of the rams passing, Moneo, or anything that might clue her in to whether they're going in the right direction or not.
Caradoc does't think anyone from town would have been looking for these men. You haven't heard any stories of men going missing anytime recently from Pharagax. Whoever these men were, they weren't likely from your neck of the woods. Caradoc does find a signet ring. He doesn't recognize the crest, though. Someone in Akros might be able to identify it, though.
Damara peeks south and sees no tracks and the trail leads to a dead end.

Both centipedes move towards the nearest target to attack. They both try to bite Damara:
Damara, please roll a DC10 CON save.
Next up is Caradoc.

Damara swings at the Centipede with her greatsword, possibly with a frown on her face. (Not raging yet)
Attack: 22 Damage: 12
The small, yet giant-for-its-species critter is dead. Combat is over.

Caradoc retrieves the bolt.
”I suppose that’s to be expected.”
He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment and then burps. “Oh goodness. I should perhaps get more used to success with you all, instead of celebrating quite so hard for any measly victory. I never thought I’d actually do anything like,” and he waves his hand vaguely at the centipedes and surroundings, “this.”

Caradoc will check them for identifying items to take back with us, so their families might know what happened to them
