So you have decided on the stairway you will try to access first, after relocating your camp to the best defensible position.
This stairway is a tight spiral and you descend 30' to the first landing. Here you find thousands of what appear to be long thin worms covering the floor, although none come near the stairway as the landing has a very rough and abrasive surface. You scoop one up for a closer look and it is not a worm, at least not like any you've ever seen. It has a head more like a snake in appearance. As you watch you see that they are all crawling into tubes in the walls that seem to slope upward. Soon all of them are gone except the one that you are holding.
What do you do?
If you put it down, it will rapidly follow the others.
Up above you hear shouts.
If you return above you will see these thousands of apparent worms (but they are not worms, neither are they snakes) coming out of the ground and dispersing in every direction.
(none of you are familiar with the three stage life cycle of dragons)
After they have all departed you decide to wait to the following day to try the stairway again. During the night you hear strange sounds and then the beating of giant wings.
In the morning running from a point 40' from the stairway and continuing away from you there is a giant hole in the ground about 120' in length, 40' wide as the widest point and 30' deep.
