Tyrian snorted and looked down the passageway. "Oh, is that what we're smelling? Rewards?" He clamored into the tunnel and stood just inside waiting for his eyes to adjust. Normally when one stepped into a cave the first thing they noticed was the chill, but not this time. The air was ever so slightly warmer than the air outside. Just enough to be noticed if you were paying attention but not enough to slap you in the face and grab that attention. His vision adjusted and brought to him a cave that was...totally unremarkable. He'd been in lots of caves over the years and this one was more or less what one would expect minus the subtle warmth and the noxious stench. Tyrian walked over to the nearest dark wall and placed a paw on it. He'd picked it thinking that maybe out of the sunlight he'd get a different result; that he'd find something typical and unremarkable. But no. It too was uncharacteristically warm. Certainly not hot, but definitely not the cold, clammy surface he expected to find. A fresh wave of sulfur was carried to them on the breeze. Yes, breeze. It came up from the depths and aside from stinking Tyrian didn't know what to make of it. Breezes were kind of an outside thing, no? He wrinkled his nose and said, "Mmm rewards." "" |
