"While a nice thought, Niko, the Alarm spell only lasts for 8 hours, and only can reach us if we are within a mile, which we shouldn't be as soon as reasonable."
Out of Character: SInce we've done a short rest (Hit Dice), Poppo & Lawrance get back 4 levels of spells, depending on what we took the time to identify. Not much to go with, but…
Tazskan, takes note of Velons plan and helps to both tie and gag up the cultist.
"I agree Velon, the sooner we leave this cursed place the better," he says keeping a watchful eye on the cultist.
"Lets, take these two back to the pool, this pool may be the key to everything down here,"He says.
"As, for the bridge this one is going to accompany me on a broomstick, whether he likes it or not," Tazskan adds looking at Lia, then back to the Cultist with a grin.
Out of Character: Tazskan, will cross the bridge with the prisoner on one of Lia's broomsticks. Once everyones ready, to go back to pool area. Otherwise, are we going exploring again? With prisoner's in tow, bound, gaged?
The scouts open the door to find a passage with a drop on the right hand side. A ladder leans up against the drop to provide access below.
Well below you is a bed of sand. Numerous eggs, both whole and shattered, lie nestled within. Yuanti young swarm the area, and a few yuanti purebloods wander through, apparently tending to the hatchery. They seem too absorbed in their work to notice you looking on from above.
Directly ahead is another door.
Mari sneaks over to the door. She will listen at the door for a moment. If it is quiet behind there then she will open it. (She will pick the lock if it is locked.)
Lia looks down at the hatchery and shakes her head. She is reminded of their fight in the half-dragon hatchery. Advancing close behind Mari she will keep her bow at the ready.

The door ahead proves to be unlocked and quiet.
Opening the door reveals a long room with a long series of shallow pits filled with sand. A pair of malisons lie curled up and sleeping on the sand, the room is otherwise empty save for a few racks of simple looking gear along the wall.
Poljen silently gestures for Mark and Lia to fall back with him. They move back to Velon and the others. They quickly relate what they have found. "It would take very little to slaughter them all. Only a couple of purebloods with the eggs, and a pair of sleeping malisons. But I see no reason to, unless you feel killing them makes the world a beter place."
"Must be a Yuanti colony, but most likely autonomous now. Now that the Naga is temporary gone," Tazskan says.
"No doubt, Varram and his cohort here would like nothing better, than to wipe the colony out," he adds giving the cultist a stern look.
"Unlikely now that Varram has no army left," Tazskan smiles.
