Alinor glances back at them. "Get your pet back here," she tells Goatie. "We will go that way afterwards, but the greatest threats have been cleansed from it." She leads the rest of the group into the right hand tunnel.
Daniel casts a glance at the left tunnel, hesitating. Then, shrugging to Goatie with an annoyed frown, he joins the group down the right hand tunnel.
Alinor leads them forward, their footsteps echoing in the empty tunnel. They stop suddenly, in a wider room, and as those in the back move forward they can see that they have reached a ledge at the edge of an enormous cavern. The sloping stone before them leads down eventually to a small, glittering pile of gold and gemstones. Halfway across the cavern and towards the left, they can see a faint glow coming from another tunnel.

"Whoa!" Azril gasps, eyes wide with wonder. "Treasure!" He starts toward the pile of jewels and gold. "Halt!" Daniel orders sharply. Azril stops. Daniel meets Alinor's eye. "Do you know anything about this room?"

Alinor nods. "There used to be a dragon here, guarding the treasure. Don't worry; he's smashed now. But, from what I've heard, there should be more treasure. I think someone has been here and taken much of the treasure between when the orcs left and when I took over."

Goatie, having called Jednook back from the right tunnel, looks on at the treasure with more unease than amazement.

"I don't believe the treasure's cursed or anything, but . . . something happened here. And I don't know what."

"Then we'd best leave it alone, I suppose," Daniel mutters, though not without a long look at the pile. "Let's keep going."
"I agree." Carefully, Alinor begins descending into the cavern. Her guards climb down alongside her. Though the incline isn't steep enough to require equipment, it does necessitate the use of both hands and feet to successfully navigate.
OOC: Here's roughly the layout of the space. The walls are much less smooth, but you get the idea. The O is the other tunnel. The X's represent the expedition. The $'s are the treasure pile. On the open sides, it extends into the distance. Finally, everything in gray is about thirty feet up from everything in black. | O | $$$ | $$$ | | | | | | | | _____ \________________/XXXX\______________

OOC: OK, so, does the expedition need to get to the other tunnel or are they heading away from it...?

OOC: You're going to the other tunnel. That's why Alinor is heading down.
Goatie follows the fortress dwellers, examining the area around him. Jednook sticks close behind his master, his lion-like back paws faring well on the steep slope but his fore-talons slip clumsily.

This area is mostly just cavern rock, unaltered by people.
Soon enough, everyone makes it down the slope and they head into the next tunnel. Before long, this tunnel splits into three paths. Alinor calls a stop and brings Visnja forward.
