You come up to intersection T uneventfully. As you arrive at the intersection, you smell the stench of rats. You peek around the corner, but in the dim light, you are unable to tell if there is anything in the tunnel, though you think you hear something sniffing around. From your estimation, it sounds like there can't be more than three rats down the tunnel, though they do sound big, and they are likely no more than 30 or 40 feet away. There is a bit of light coming down intermittently through shafts of light in between stones that were shaken by the earthquake, but it's very dim, about the strength of a candle lit every 20 ft., and you are unable to tell whether there is anything there or not. Would you like to go further or stay and listen/smell some more?
Darvin and Beranhond:
Darvin opens the door slowly, and as the door cracks open, white light spills out from the hidden doorway, and everyone can see clearly again. Darvin has low-light vision, so this isn't that bad for him, but everyone else was having some problems seeing. As the door swings slowly in, another short bit of tunnel is revealed before the tunnel bends to the right and you can see through the opening part of a large, wooden door. It is on the left hand side of the tunnel, and from the doorway, you can't tell what else could be behind the door.
3 rats and not wererats, can I not tell? I'll keep my eyes and ear open for another 2 rounds. Do I hear or see anything from the other tunnels?

ReplyDeleteAfter listening for another two rounds, you hear them walking around enough to tell that it is only 2 rats, though they are dire rats by the weight of their footfalls, and most likely not wererats from the way they seem to have no purpose to their steps.
