After the rest, the scout leads you out through one of the larger exits of this cavern - all carved into the stone by the now dry river. It meanders through the Underdark like a vast snake and the more you ascend along its path, the more rough the stone becomes. Sand- and limestone changes to basalt, granite and the like, cracks begin to line all surfaces. Occasionally, the scout stops, signals you to stay behind and moves some paces ahead. There she drops to one knee and seems to listen intendly, laying on hand on the surface of the wall. About half a day passes till you reach a large crack that runs right through both walls. It is about 10 feet wide and you cannot see either ceiling nor bottom. A number of bats cling to the opposite wall of this crack, not taking notice of you though. The tunnel leads on at the other side of the crack too, but makes a sharp turn to the right some 100 paces ahead. The scout signals that you need to climb up on this side of the crack for a few hundred feet, where there will be a large cavern that will lead straight to the group's destination. She checks on both sides of the tunnel again, before beginning to climb up on the wall. Naedragard's eyes get caught by the well build frame of the scout, as her half-covered body ascends into the darkness above.

Climbing up the rough wall is not that difficult, but as it is quite a distance, your muscles begin to ache nonethless. Tavia vanishes through a large horizontal crack and after a dozen paces on your bellies, you arrive in the vast cavern the scout spoke about. Massive stalagmites reach up into the darkness above to support an invisible and you almost get the impression that you are out on the surface due to the sheer size of this place. The walls to either side of you vanish into the darkness and you have no idea where the opposite side of the cavern is. Tavia listens intensely while Xune ventures near her, also peering out into the darkness. Khalas takes up a position close to Kylara, while Naedragard looks about in awe. "Nice!" she says after a while. "Hadn't expected such a cute cave down here!" Half a moment later, she begins to hum a familiar tune ...

"Just how big is it?" Zhadristan wonders.

After crawling through the crack, Sheiriya tries to beat out the dust of her clothes. Obviously she doesn't like to be dirty.
When arriving at the great cave she does not say anything but looks around intensively.

The scout waits till all have arrived, before signalling: "These are the Six Mithral Towers. If you shed some light on these stalagmites (you can see but one right now though, given that it is pitch black in this cavern) they appear to be run through with mithral. But it is some other mineral, rest assured. Occasionally, the cavern is home to a dragon or somesuch, so keep quite and refrain from making any sound. If you hear or spot something, let everyone know."

Naedragard chuckles slightly: "You mean spot something like this beholder down there (pointing in one direction) which moves away from us about a mile away?"

Tavia looks at the female to see whether she's serious about this. "Exactly," she says. "If you see more of them or something else, feel free to inform us."
The escortee nods, as does Kylara.

Quietly, Tavia leads you on, eyes warily checking into any direction constantly. Khalas keeps close to Kylara, tension clearly visible.

As you walk along, the unusual feeling of a very large space gets on the nerves of the drow. While they know large caverns from their home cities, such a vast place clad in darkness is beyond the experience of anyone. EVen the gith and Gaess have their problems, as darkvision is not helping that much here.

Naedragard stops after about a thousand paces and looks into the direction that the group is heading. "Well now, mercs. You'll have to get your work cut out it seems. One lizard thingy and about a dozen creeps are heading our way, and fast. Seems they know we are here or hereabouts. Maybe because of that flying thing whizzing by us every now and then." The female points at a bat that keeps itself well clear of hand-crossbow range, but circles the group in regular intevals.

After a few seconds have passed Xyranma appears out of somewhere and places the known chain on the ground. "What kind of creatures are coming?" he asks Naedragard. A moment later he disappears again.

Sheiriya uses what time is left, to get a shadowy kind of cloak out of her belt and put it around her shoulders. If possible she readies her crossbow.

"Damn!" Farviaan mutters. "Nothing ever works smoothly." He draws his crossbow out of the quiver, makes sure that it is cocked and loaded then asks the fiend-woman: "Specifics, please."

"What are you waiting for? Kill it!", Zhadristan says to Khalas and indicates the bat.

"No interest in some surprises?", Naedragard muses with a smirk. "Well, that lizard looks more like a drake now and carries one ... no two riders." She silently counts the number of the rest, looking somewhat irritated. "The creeps count 8 to 10. Have some canny talent in going into hiding every now and then. Skinny humans I'd say, wield bows and spears or something. Less than half a mile now!"

Khalas takes a glance at Zhadristan. "Any spell I use will draw unwanted attention to us, so I keep it till the last moment ..."

Naedragard chuckles and looks at the bat, which suddenly veers off as an arrow from Tavia's bow almost skewers it. The scout withdraws from point position, making place for the fighters, while Xune drops even further back and readies some spell components.

"This could have been the last moment, if they had no longer been able to see us!" Zhadristan snaps at Khalas.

Utterly unmoved by the males reply, Khalas adds: "There's more than bats to enable someone seeing in utter darkness. Maybe, if you study the art somewhat more, you'll understand."

"Stop bickering!" Farviaan snaps at his comrades. "There's no time for that."
"Naedragard," he continues, more polite now, "can you see what kind of dragon it is?"

"MInd your own business", Zhadristan replies pro forma . He coats one of his bolts with poison and loads it.
