"Then that is all I needed to hear." Olokuul climbs up on one of the walls a couple paces,  then lets out a shrill, warbling sound that is highly disturbing.

Izdrania joins the cacophony with a burst of intense sound and flame, so loud that the floor and walls began to crack and splinter

...This will make for an interesting intro chapter when I write down this advenure of ours...

Nazrim wasn't very sure if there was much sense in this strategy, but since they hadn't spotted or heard any troglodytes at all not much to lose she guessed. Just to be safe, Nazrim re-arranged her dolls in a protective circle around her and stood adjacent to Crash, ready to use him as cover if anything actually popped out.

"...or not." Garudon says, seeing that the others have things firmly in hand.

At first Crash was a bit annoyed that they chose to start things off on the bank, but then he realized that unless the trogs were swimming he'd have free reign to smash things as long as no one got in front of him.  "Don't get in front of me.  I need room to kill."

There's a soft grating of stone, and a hidden panel in the ceiling moves aside.  A troglodyte head pokes out, bringing with it a foul, acrid odor that causes eyes to water.  It looks suspiciously at the raucous party members.

"Whudyawant?" it asks in a gravely voice, speaking heavily-accented Common.

Your life.-simply replies Nazrim swinging her right downsing road, from which translucent sahpire chains shoot towards the foolish troglodyte. As they drive into its body, no blood comes out, but rather a stream of characters flows trough the chains back to Nazrim.

Once the characters have finished transferring to Nazrim, the troglodyte stiffens and falls to the ground, dead.  It leaves behind a narrow black opening in the ceiling.

Nazrim savors the information absorbed like an opening snack, quickly scribbling tiny marks of the new kill in her dress.

It was a pretty standard troglodyte, weak in mind and body. So... Any of you can carry me up there? I could climb the old fashioned way but that would take its time.

He moves directly below the new opening in the ceiling, lowering his body down so that Nazrim could comfortably climb onto his haversacked back.

"Climb on" Was all the large serpent said, and once Nazrim was securely holding on, his powerful long body would easily scale the rock wall. Stopping when they reached the opening of the ceiling hole, awaiting to see if Nazrim wanted to go further within.

A poisoned arrow was drawn from it's quiver, instantly knocked(sp) while the bow was aimed up(?) the hole.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!

As Nazrim squeezes into the tiny opening, the foul stench is nearly overwhelming.  The odor -- or rather, miasma -- has layers to it, almost like peeling back a rotted, festering onion using only one's nostrils.

As expected, there is a tunnel in the ceiling, moving along the top of the main chamber; it looks worked rather than natural, and small orifices let in light at regular intervals.  The passage curves away from Nazrim's sight lines after a short distance, but she thinks she can hear scrabbling sounds ahead.

Nazrim didn't felt uncofortable because of the stench or being in a tight dark place. She felt uncofortable because this felt all too familiar from her foggy youth. No matter. Work to be done.

Nazrim sneaks ahead one of her rat dolls along the curve, observing what lies ahead trough its bead eyes.

The tunnel curves to the right, and seems empty to the doll's eyes -- but it can see that there are openings leading up into the rock.

Crash picked up the dead trog and, clearly somewhat bored, started tossing it back and forth between his hands while waiting for Naz to finish her scouting.

Nazrim advances her doll in the direction of the openings, carefully following behind and looking out for any dangerous stuff.

Upon noticing Garudon looked bored too, Crash made him an offer.  "Want to throw the trog too?"

Garudon makes a face, showing his distaste.  "No Crash, but thank you for the offer."

"Suit yourself." Crash said as he continued to juggle the trog, apparently quite content with himself.

The doll looks up and sees more tunnel system, which still seems deserted.
