With a slight chuckle at Aunna's response, Alfie speaks up again, "Right, lets be off then."

Aunna doesn’t say anything for or against Behemoth’s statement. Instead, she just nods. “Let’s go then.”

Everyone "I am Halleth, but I did not come down here with these folks. Just be aware that I am currently hunting the companions I came here with." The pale skinned Halleth says to Aunna before turning and following on through the corridor. You all continue moving along for another 30-feet before finding frescoes on the walls of the intersection that depict dwarves at work. You all catch yourself look a second time as you notice the dwarve frescoes are actually moving. You see some that carve blocks of stone, others rolling barrels, and a group of dwarves clinging their tankards together before drinking deeply from them. As you all continue to the four-way intersection, you notice that Reggie the monkey waves at one of the frescoes who is also waving to him.
Looking straight ahead, you can see the corridor continues for 100-feet before coming to a tunnel carved into the stone wall on the left and straight ahead. The tunnel you can see curves to the right and out of sight. Looking to the left, you can see that the corridor continues for the range of the daylight coming off of Alfie's driftglobe before darkness takes over. 20-feet up this corridor a right turn leads into another corridor. Looking right, is just another, shorter corridor that goes for 60-feet before turning left.
Halleth looks each way before he turns to the group. "Rex and Midna are split, for what reason I am not sure. I will leave the choice into your hands everyone. We can either go dead ahead, or take this right." He says pointing out both corridors.

"You're sure neither of them is to the left though?" Alfie says pulling out his map book and making quick sketches and notes for later.

Everyone Without skipping about, Halleth replies. "I'm sure." He continues to look both ahead and then to the right.

"How is it you know where they are?" He looks back at Halleth with a confused look, "And what can you tell us about Rex and Midna? How do they fight as it seems it will come up judging by Copper," as he gazes into the darkness of the of the right corridor and the corridor ahead.

Mikey continues walking forward, turning to the group as he does. "Yeah, you should give us a little more information, your existence is strange in of itself."

Everyone Halleth stops and thinks about what Behemoth had asked before turning and looking at him. "I am unsure on what it is, but theres a pull." He gestures to his stomach. "I just know that it is them. Whatever, or whoever, brought me back has obviously tasked me with something. I think that something is finding the ones who wronged me in the last life. Rex is arrogant and is the leader of the Fine Fellows of Daggerford. He is a hulking mass, but nothing like you are." He smiles at Behemoth. "I look forward to when he sees someone of your size and stature. As for Midna, well, she is rather lazy in all honesty, but has some magical means. She didn't have much say in the matter, except what say she did have, she didn't use. Either because she couldn't be bothered, or she just didn't care. I am wondering why I am tasked with her too. She didnt lay a finger on me as far as I remember. And I remember it clearly." He trails off in silence before snapping himself out of it and looking to Mikey who is eager to move forward. "So, straight ahead is it?" He asks the rest of the group.

"Fair enough. Forward sounds as good as any. Which one's up there?"

Aunna quietly listens to the group’s conversation, not having much of an input, being so new. She follows along at the end of the marching order, her pointed ears are listening intently to anything that could potentially sneak up. There’s one question she asks, “Where’s the fortune?”

"We haven't found the library yet. Hey, can you see in the dark? None of us can." Alfie responds to Aunna.

Shaking her head, she says, “No. I can’t. Do we need light?”

"No, we have plenty of sources." he says pointing to the driftglobe over his head and then to Behemoths weapon.

Aunna was relieved that there were so many sources. Oddly, her mind wandered to the shelter she was just pulled from. Hopefully the fire goes out safely. She would really hate to cause a forest fire... Without thinking, she asked the others, "How did you all get here? Have you all been in here long?"

"We all came down from the yawning portal, been about three days now?"Mikey looks to Alfie for the a possible correction.

"Sounds complicated, as long as you that thing doesn't get you to turn on us," he laughs, "He wouldn't be the first to quake in fear of the great Behemoth," he gives a hearty laugh, "Doesn't sound like he'll be too much of a problem," he listens to Halleth describe Midna, "A lazy mage, I'm sure Alfie will prove more than a match," he grins back at Alfie before leading the group onwards.

Everyone Halleth looks back at Alfie with a slight sigh. "I'm unsure on which one is which. I guess we will see when we get closer." He turns and continues to follow Mikey and Behemoth through the corridor. You all continue walking for 100-feet before coming to the end of the corridor. You can now see there are two -5-feet-wide tunnels that have been carved into the stone. One straight ahead, and another to your left. "Halleth waits for the conversation between Aunna and the group finish before looking to the tunnel straight ahead. "I feel that would be our best course here." He says as he now takes lead and starts sidling through the tunnel.

Mikey tries to slip ahead of Behemoth in order to travel behind Halleth in the tunnel.

"Three days is correct. And it seems we've all come here for one form of treasure or another. We've all come via Waterdeep, but we do not all call the city home. What treasure do you seek Aunna?" he adds while following the group.
