Laurel was shivering violently as Drache pulled her away. The small woman sought comfort against the dragoness, still muttering, [color=f6989d][b]"We have to find her, we need to find her, we have to find her..."[/b][/color] Sirik heard the question directed at him, and silently shook his head. He'd heard nothing. When she gave out her suggestion, he simply nodded. 

He moved over to the rocks, inspecting them with his trained tracker eyes. Nothing seemed amiss with them. Her crouched down to get a closer look, his fingers reaching out, [color=2e3192][b]"I think there's some markings here..."[/b][/color] He touched one, not recognizing the language. The moment he touched it, the ground beneath him disappeared. It didn't fall through, it was simply gone. And he fell into the darkness without so much as a gasp of surprise.

If Drache took the time to study the glyphs, she'd not recognize them in the least bit. But if she touched them, she could feel a certain vibe, as if they were humming with power spent, almost... warm. Kraven walked over casually to the hole in the ground peering in, [color=39b54a][b]"I wonder if he's still alive."[/b][/color] He lit up a torch and tossed it in, and watched it drop thirty feet into water. On its way down, Sirik could be seen, legs split, holding himself up in a corner. The moment the torch hit what seemed to be an underground river of some sort, water shot up with such force that it would've pierced metal. Water and shards of wood from the torch rained down on the group. 

Kraven shouted down into the hole, [color=39b54a][b]"Oy, we saw ya ma... shit!"[/b][/color] He jerked his head out of the way as a tiny stream shot up where he was. It seemed touching the water or making noise would not be good for anyone's health. Any light cast on Sirik would reveal him scowling at them, followed by drow hand signals saying he could see a tunnel across the way for him and that a rope would be very appreciated. 

Laurel had stuck close to Drache the whole time, almost afraid to leave her side. [color=f6989d][b]"She's dying, we need to hurry."[/b][/color]
