Everyone You all continue to move down the stairs for a total of 180-feet down before finally coming to flat ground, the corridors still made from the rough hewn stone you are all used to seeing. You all start walking and notice the soft sound of banging coming from ahead. As you continue to walk it gets louder and louder. You get 70-feet from the stairs and can see that up ahead, the corridor continues for 40-feet before turning right. Just 10-feet ahead of you is a right turn, and the banging seems to be coming from there.

Peering past Behemoth mikey calls out loudly, "I wonder what that banging noise is!"

Having walked for what feels like forever and not seeing an end in sight. Alfie flips a few pages and begins taking notes and occasionally asking the appropriate follow up question for clarity. When he noticed the banging though, Alfie goes silent again. He focuses on the sound, trying to see if he can place the pitch and rhythm with something he may have heard in the past.

Alfie You focus on the sound of the banging and think of what sounds are being made. You recognise it to be something hitting wood, like a hammer or some other blunt object.
Everyone The sound of the banging stops briefly, before continuing on again.

"Someone is hammering wood. Perhaps the goblin king is preparing little coffins?" Alfie whispers while trying to hold a chuckle back.

Mikey roles his eyes with a smile, "I am sure not everything down here wants to kill us." Mikey shrugs, "We should go say hello."

Behemoth laughs, "I suppose it's worked before," he grins at Mikey and glances at Halleth, "So investigate the banging?" He walks the 10 feet towards the turn off.

Everyone Halleth looks forwards and just nods before following everyone. When you get to the left turn, you can see a small 10-foot section of corridor that then opens up into a room. All you can see is the trash and debris that litters the floor.

"I suppose not everything wants to kill us down here, but there's something to be said when everything else wants hide because it thinks all the other things what to kill them. Lets see what was here." Alfie takes a minute to scan the room fully, before slowing moving through it to see whats inside.

Behemoth makes sure to keep ahead of the group and also has a glance around the room, otherwise seemingly just standing guard.

Mikey stays quiet, sticking close to Alfie. He mutter's a few words quietly, "strike true." (Cantrip guidance. D4 added to skill check)

Everyone You all move into the room and can now see it is square in shape, 30-feet each side, with another 10-foot corridor that leads into another room to your right. The walls in this room are adorned with bas-reliefs that depict dwarven figures carrying supplies of sorts, except the faces have been chipped away and replaced with silly charcoal drawings of goblin faces. The banging is coming from somewhere further into the next room.
Alfie You look through the rubbish and can see rotten scraps of food, mixed with broken furniture and scraps of leather, rocks and tattered clothing that is torn asunder. You don't find anything special within the trash.

When the banging starts up again, Alfie points to the next room over.
Telepathically to Reggie, "Grab a small rock or two and be ready".

Seeing Alfie pointing out a direction Behemoth begins walking that way, "Maybe this will be your working forge Mikey."

Mikey smiles, "Maybe!" He then moves beside Behemoth excitedly moving towards the next room.

Alfie smiles and shakes his head. He then turns to Reggie and says, "Guess we're not being quiet." before following the group.

Everyone Reggie clambers around Alfie and reaches into a small pocket, and pulls out a handful of small rocks before climbing back up to his seat on Alfie's shoulder. You all move your feet through the rubbish that littered this room and into the next room. There is no litter on the floor here, but the bas-reliefs of dwarven figures with their faces chipped away and mock cartoons drawn. You can see an exit in the right of the room and a corridor that comes off the top corner of the room. The banging of wood stops as you enter, but then continues after a half minute. You can tell that it comes from the corridor at the top of the room and Behemoth moves towards it to light the path. The corridor continues out of the light's range.
Alfie You notice that Halleth is staring at the exit in the right of the room. He looks to be very distant at the same time.

Everyone Wthout looking away Halleth responds to Alfie. "We're close to one of them. Through there." He whispers as he continues to stare into the darkness beyond the right passage.
