The walls become noticeably wet and some king of green slimy plant life covers the stone here. The floor becomes very smooth and slightly slippery with more of the plants. There are no touches along this path. The hallway turns and widens into a natural room of sorts. An underground river babbles by a small rickety bridge and a neck breaking speed. The water looks a cold shade of midnight blue. The Letta's lantern light reflects off its surface in brilliant golds. On the other side of the old bridge is a passageway leading off. There is enough room here to camp for the night...though a little wet. ************* End Of Article ************** marcus posted Message 2241 Dated : September 02, 2001 at 21:49:11 Subject: Re: To the West "Do you want to camp here or move on?" ************* End Of Article ************** DM posted Message 2242 Dated : September 03, 2001 at 10:23:10 Subject: Camp or not to camp Letta looks about.

She pulls her blanket out and places it on the ground in an effort to stay dry. Looking a little down that Talorc has offered 1st with Sarothia, Danya glances about to the others. Not to sure who, if any, she wants to be paired with. "I can help with the last watch...I'm an early riaser." She looks over at Lucus and then back at the group. Now the question was where to sleep.

There are also humans here. Some of them are wearing the symbol of Goodberries' Gaurds. Some of the Goblins are wearing more civilized clothing (at least their new and clean). "Hail friend!"

"I have seen similar situations where a creature called an Ankheg was burrowed, we should either disturb and slay it, hoping for treasure or what not, or move on quickly." ************* End Of Article ************** DM posted Message 2297 Dated : September 27, 2001 at 08:38:13 Subject: The sound of death approaching Standing at the base, Lucas hears a faint rumbling coming form the top of the mound. It sounded like digging and the movement of many creatures. Letta steps next to Lucas shinning the lantern on the mound. Her eyes widen as she heard the sound, "You think this is where those big bugs came from?" She didn't look to happy about the idea of more insects. ************* End Of Article ************** DM posted Message 2298 Dated : September 27, 2001 at 08:49:24 Subject: What kind of treasure? "Treasure?" Letta perked up at the thought of a nice broach or other jeweled trinket. "The others were not all that though...how many could there be?" The treasure hunter woke in Letta at the thought of a nice hall. There really hadn’t been anything to my liking. Letta glanced up the mound and thought of the Ankhegs. ************* End Of Article ************** Talorc ud Soldar posted Message 2299 Dated : September 27, 2001 at 11:20:47 Subject: ...ahem...

She glances at Dyne. Why did he have to say that? "Well, I don't think they are coming this way...the noise seems to be getting quieter." She was right, whatever was making the sounds seemed to be moving off. Letta looks to the fighters in the group, "What say you? Are we heading into that ...gulp...nest?" *************** End Of Article ****************
