For Syrathic and Brendon
As one draws close to the boulders, one thing becomes quite clear – whatever it was that has cast them aside possessed considerable strength. The hard stone of the passage leaves no trace of footprints. Just beyond the boulders the tunnel widens considerably, enough to easily accommodate the entire party, or several large creatures. The ceiling is also much higher here and sound carries differently within this larger space. While it is impossible to discern just how far this wider passageway extends, the careful eye can discern a short distance away what seem to be the glowing remains of magical runes that are scattered in such a way as to suggest that glyphs of no small power had discharged their stored magic energy. It is from beyond these dimly glowing runic fragments that the voices and noise seem to issue. A few moments of careful listening suggests that the strange snatches of speech that reach the ear are snatches of argumentative conversation among a band of grimlock warriors.
