Closing in on Taye

[Asinjin]

Laz says- “Great, get to praying.”

Cyrus says: “I do not wish to forsake Taye, but these creatures sound like the worst sort of beast for me to fight. I have only ordinary weapons and no magical defenses. I will go with you, but if we think some of us will be needed to carry the wounded afterwards, I can also wait with Vechi. I will give Gareth my bracers.”

Wirlpakura responds, "We came with magical items, including the slaying arrow I mentioned before.  If we can find them inside, they would be helpful.  And I am willing to be wielded by mostly anyone to end the scourge of these beasts.  I am nearly indestructible, so I can harm the creatures without risk of being damaged.  Whoever I am with cannot be harmed by lighting and I can fly them around.  I can also defend them either in hand or dancing.  I also am able to perform a few blessings."

How far do you go from the entrance?  How much time do you spend?  Are you hiding?

"Sadly, I cannot sense light.  I can sense heat, so sunlight or torchlight.  None of that was inside.  My friends and companions cast light spells to see.  I could feel the airflow, which was strong at times and weak at other times."  after a pause  "I recall them saying that one of the rooms had a magical clock."

Oz asks Wirlpakura: "Do you know if these creatures are sensitive to light or heat? I could always pray for some spells to keep them at bay."

"I don't think the light hurts them, but they prefer the dark.  Heat no, but fire burns them."

Esra tells Cyrus what he’s doing. I’ll spend however much time we have available. I’m not hiding but behaving in my normal inconspicuous manner.

You fund after an hour, that there are no significant vents on the rocks around the entrance.  There are cracks and holes that may lead down.  The rocks have expected vegetation and insect life.
