The others were staring past her. Ilyana turns her head and nearly fell over in surprise to see Terilu striding up and introducing himself.

She shuddered, remembering the dark cells in prison, the bats nesting above, rustling, chirping, covering the floor and herself with their guano....

But after Terilu talked to one of the undead, she shook her head to clear it.

"Invade...?" she demands hoarsely, pulling herself upright. "It didn't attack us, nor do we know the numbers down there. Look how wide that opening is, it's designed for several people to come and go. There could be hundreds down there. If we go rushing in, they could retaliate and go after the caravan. They...."

There was a rumble behind them. "What the...?" she demands, turning around. Something unseen hit, making the ground shake and knocking her off her feet as the trees swayed above her. For a moment, there was silence, then what wildlife that still lived in the Emerald Forest began screaming at the top of its lungs.

Somewhere, on the other side of the caravan, there was smoke rising.

"That would have woke the dead!" Ilyana yells, then glances worriedly at the tomb entrance.
