DEN and Hakka move into the cave, the thri-kreen peering around for Sven's track while DEN looks for trouble. It's hard to make out much of a track on the hard igneous rock, but a few minor disturbances show that Sven did indeed go deeper into the cave. Hakka is thankful that whatever is influencing the man didn't have him step lighter. DEN sees no sign of trouble as yet.

The cave is dark and damp, but it gets a bit bigger past the first few feet. The warforged and thri-kreen can both stand straight after having to stoop for a couple of yards. The black rock is smooth and wavy, although jagged edges do appear from time to time. A small bat eyes the pair warily, eyes glowing in the trace light coming through the cave's mouth.
