Ardo walks over and grants Deethen the blessings of Blerreds mercy. "Drethen I hope this helps."
Do you mean the grey area that looks like an archway over a cave entrance? That would be the archway over the cave entrance.
"Shall I lead the way again?" asks Davik, making to move to the front of the group "If we want to kill this necromancer, we should move quickly. With the noise this creature was making, we may have lost the element of surprise. Another option is to wait for the necromancers servants to come investigate the noise and get the drop on them."
"I say lets move and take the cave and clear it out like we did the cave with the clerics. The sooner we get this done the sooner we can find the fate of the girl."
Out of Character: Did Drethen find anything in his search or the cave entry?
Not finding anything of value in either of these two room, Davik leads the party around the corner and, finding a set of stairs, down the stairs.
From the base of the stairs, you can see a chamber opening up off of the tunnel ahead and also a tunnel running off at an oblique angle to your right. Reflected light on the tunnel wall shows that the room ahead is lit; the tunnel to the right, if you peer down it, is dark but an opening in the left side some thirty feet down is dimly illuminated by some flickering light within.
As you observe this area, one of the strangest creatures you've ever seen bounds toward you out of the darkness from the north, for all the world like an overeager puppy. Its lumpish body rises in a great hump covered with stony plates like a turtle's shell. The face is merely two eyes and a tiny beak at one end, out of which a short sturdy tongue hangs. Two large antenna whip about, quivering in the creature's excitement as it pads forward on oversized three-toed feet. The rear legs are noticeably longer than the front ones, giving it an uneven, almost comical gait. The flexible segmented tail ends in two bony plates that the creature seems to use for balance as it moves.
The creature stops a few feet before Davik and bobs his front section up and down while making a strange clicking nose with his tongue.

Davik holds out his hand to pat the creature on the head, at the same time trying to remember I'd he'd ever heard of this creature before.
