Isobel did her best to steady Ravin, who was clearly having some trouble with whatever was down here. Perhaps he was claustrophobic, or perhaps he was having another vision... whatever it was, she put an arm around him, pushing her shoulder up under his, and helped him along.

She tensed as the voices seemed to wail ever louder, and her eyes narrowed. Were these truly warnings or some sort of trick to scare people away from some treasure? But as they reached the cavern at the bottom of the stairs it became clear that it was no trick. The bodies that lay everywhere were in various states of decay. Some were stuck to the walls by what was presumably spider webbing, eviscerated. Had the spiders done that? She shuddered.

"Ay... this is horrifying," she commented softly. Ravin spotted a tunnel leading off the cavern and insisted on exploring it. Isobel continued to support him, pulling Muerte in case they had to quickly defend themselves. Her eyes widened in horror at the sight of the spiders feeding and breeding in their little chamber. She wanted to cry out in disgust but did not dare, for they might hear her and she certainly did not wish to draw the attention of so many of the creatures. Ravin had an excellent idea that perhaps Tristan might fry the spiders with his dragon breath, or perhaps Saras could do somethign with his fire, and suggested it to them.

They then crept to another cavern, which proved to be a village of some sort... Isobel gasped softly as a man turned into a spider. She thought about the type of temple this was and wondered why they had let their place of worship fall into ruin... or had they forgotten about it over the years?

"I think we are looking upon the underground domain of a family of werespiders that can command normal spiders," Ravin whispered. "Do we leave, and contend with them later since we'll no doubt run into them in the ruins, or should we try to destroy them here and now?"

"We have the element of surprise right now," Isobel whispered. "But this is their domain and they know it better than we do... However, if we wait then we risk being ambushed by them. Perhaps we should attack... Tristan could do much damage in here, I am thinking."
