Algrim nods to the druid "Aye sounds good ta me."

Castinus - human thief

Castinus waves away the stench. Yes, let's! he says. He'll keep an eye out for traps and anything dangerous.

The gas-bat toots again, coming closer.
If you would like to explore our cave, that is fine. You can pass through if you want also. We are happy to have friends such as you.

If you can get rid of some of the more pesky horrors outside and perhaps dim the lights, it would be wonderful. We hunt better in the dark. Or if you can send an insect swarm our way, we would feast for days.

If you do decide to come in, please hood your light. We much prefer the dark.
Another fierce toot and a plop of white substance falls from the creature. You notice that the floor is covered in the guano. The droppings litter the floor, and many strange fungi grow in clumps throughout the whole area.

There are also some chairs here, the majority of which face not the center of the ship, where the forest (and perhaps one time, garden) is, but the outer walls.

You hear more toots in the "cave" area. Seems there are quite a few of these gas-bats in the room.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes chuckles at each of the "toots." He smiles at Castinus and says "These are my kinda bats. But I agree, let's keep moving." He carefully walks around, hoping to not get pooped on.

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk is grateful his armor suit keeps all of the gases out.

"Sure, let's keep moving through this cave."

He tries not step in the poop.

"We will do what we can to get rid of the pesky horrors," says Ulster. "Thank you for warning us of them. And thank you for letting us through your cave. Alas, some of us need light to see, but we will try to dim our lights. Happy bug hunting!"
To the others, Ulster says, "We may pass through. Please shield your lanterns as much as you can; the light bothers our new friends."

Dieter will switch to infravision and turn off the light emanating from his staff as he proceeds behind the golum.

You can hear and smell the gas-bats more than see them, staying a bit away from you as you make your way through the cavernous room.



You avoid the guano as best you can. The little golem beeps and whistles and fiddles with what appears to be a bar area, although every surface is covered. You hear a grinding noise and a part of the north-east wall moves, opening, it would seem. Beyond this "window" lies a star-scape like you've never seen before: the night sky, but all appear to be closer than you are used to.

Dieter - Mage

Oh my, what do we have here... I remember scenes like this in the observatory, on the planet we were on before this one... I wonder if this all ties together in some way...

Algrim looks at everything likes it's all magic and avoids touching anything.

Castings - human thief

Castinus looks with interest at the view of the stars. His thoughts drift to Shae, and he keeps silent.

The floor begins to tremble slightly and you hear a hum. Then scene in the large window changes considerably.

Image

The gas-bats flit and fart. Ulster gets the impression that they are distressed by something.

Gads! Dieter will turn toward the golum: What did you bring about? Dieter will grab onto something for some stabilization. Whatever it is stop it!

The golem squeals, and then fiddles with more things.

The floor lights up in multicolored squares, focused on your feet. Guano is lit from below and the mushrooms glow in the strange lighting.

Image

The golem squeals again, and continues his fiddling.

The floor lights move in odd patterns. Music starts coming from the walls and ceiling, an odd, strange sound with a beat. You find it difficult not to want to dance to it.

Strange shapes appear in the air, also shedding their own light. They move with the pulse of the music, it seems, and they pass through you like phantoms.

Image

The golem is giving off beeps and whistles now, and continues its fiddling.

Then the music stops. The lights die down. And the metal screen over the large window closes slowly.

The room returns to darkness. A gas-bat toots in the distance.

The golem appears back near Dieter, emitting a low "sorry" sound.
