[Anastasia]

Oooooh.

Go go go go DM reading skills.

As you go, you begin to feel vibrations below you, but coming up in your general direction.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa alerts the others!

Can I tell anything about them?

[Anastasia]

No, just vibrations.

'Move,' Honeydip suggests, 'Get out of the way, forward or back.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Forward. Let's see if we can't also drag whatever it is into fighting the monks.'

[Anastasia]

You go forward - and whatever it is doesn't adjust, no sign of it pursuing you.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa continues on, sending to the others, 'Let's be mindful of things in the ground around here.'

[Anastasia]

Staying in the ground past this or going back up to the surface?

[Iron Dragoon]

In until I'm reasonably sure we're safe from being spotted by the monks.

[Anastasia]

You go and do so. Coming up in a smaller connecting passage beyond it, you see you're well out of sight. Peeking up, no one immediately around, either.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa emerges fully, calling the others up with her as she goes, and then once everyone is gathered, continues on towards the tower!

[Anastasia]

A few narrow, tight passages and a twisting mini cavern. Out and ahead - and as you go, you begin to hear the sounds of drums and chants.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa calls it to the others attention and continues forward cautiously.

[Anastasia]

You get terse nods as you go on. Peeking around - a wide open space. Here Malar's faithful, clad in animal skins, bang drums and chant. A few hundreds over captured kills, all laid out - a bevy of animals and mortals, each gutted.

[Iron Dragoon]

Is this the entrance to the tower or just a random mass gathering?

[Anastasia]

You don't see the tower ahead - looks like a mass gathering for whatever reason.
