#Dungeon 23 Project - The Ruins of Mount Auyán (Day 008)

When you return to the corridor and continue forward 30' a voice says, "The grue feeds well?"

What do you do? If you do not say anything or if the response is incorrect, then ...

After 30 seconds the voice says again, "The grue feeds well?"

What do you do? If you do not say anything or if the response is incorrect, then ...

"They don't know the passphrase, attack them!"  "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."

(BTW everyone should know the passphrase.)

In the area of the voice, several humanoid creatures come out of a doorway and engage you in combat, if you survive you may continue. However, if you defeat the creatures, the voice will begin screaming Fire! and will continue repeating that. 

What do you do? 

#5 If you enter the room that the creatures just came out of, it is about 30' x 30', it is well lit and contains tables, chairs, bunks and other accoutrements. At one end is a cooking area and a chimney leads up from it. A fire burns and the room is a little smoky. To one side is a pile of wood.  There are shelves and cabinets near the cooking area. On the tables are mugs with what smells like ale and a jug is on one side of each table. There are cards and coins on each table. Behind the bunk area are racks with some armor and weapons with quite a few empty slots.

There are no secret doors or traps to find.

When you return to the corridor the voice will be quiet. You will either find more of the creatures or you will not.

#6 10' further down the corridor on the opposite side is another door. It leads into a room that is 20'x15' and the floor of the room is sand. You see nothing else in the room and the walls are bare. In the center of the floor the level of the sand is about a foot lower than at the edges and it slopes down to the center from all the edges. 

What do you do?

BTW

Somewhere you might run into this creature, it is known by many names and if you can see into the ultraviolet, then this is what you would see. Otherwise it would be completely invisible to you and it is only encountered in the dark. If a light were to shine on it, then it will instantly teleport away and you will not be sure that you saw anything. It normally attacks from behind, grabs its prey and teleports away.

One name is The Appetite!
