Into the Depths: Investigating the Shimmering Shore Tunnels (Group 4)

The party grows defensive, studying the monstrous beast to see what they can learn. Wake hurls a rock at the creature, and it reacts surprisingly- what looks like it pupil suddenly splits open, and the rock disappears inside. The action is followed by a horrific grinding noise- and then the worm shudders, letting out a guttural noise... and then a plume of gritty dust billows out into the air, accompanied by that same smell as before, something equal parts sulfuric and putrid.

The beast hesitates for a moment before lunging its meaty body forward, sending the group scattering.
