Remember, you have entered through an opening on the top of Monsmoor, the name locals call the large prominent hill north of Tarne along the north reaches of the Selin River.
You killed the Bugbear guards and descended through the shaft to a large cavern where you defeated two Beholders. Neither spoke or tried to communicate to you during the battle, leading you to believe that neither was the mastermind that some call 'Atalya'. After a search through the cavern, Kaleb finds another opening in the ceiling. Nihil climbed the walls and determined it leads out as well. There is noise outside the opening but Nihil returns to the cavern floor. He assumes there are more bugbears at that opening. Helio Verum can either venture back out via either two exits or continue down the central shaft.
Rickul, having recovered from his near death experience, appears to not be as powerful as he once was . But he seems willing to move on.
