"Even with this 'Mother' out and about? What's the difference between being inside the caves, and being here at the mouth of them? Aside from the fact that I could lay an Alarm spell on the front door of the caves, and know whenever something comes in, of course.", Dagon asks, partially confrontational and partially honestly curious. Camping was never really a priority, when one had army tents to stay in during long campaigns. The caves here seemed defensible, much moreso than staying out in this forest, but he suspected - hoped - that someone knew more about staying outdoors than he did, and that there was somewhere nearby that would be just as defensible, and more comfortable as well.
