“How does it look?”

“Nae guid, laddie.”

(Not good, boy)

Dalrak answered Roland while hitting the collapsed passageway with a pickaxe that he grabbed from the ground. He was a dwarf so he knew a bit about living underground and in caves.

“It's gonnae tak' us at leest a day tae clear thes it ur moor.”

(It's going to take us at least a day to clear this, or more)

The tunnel that they came from was in shambles. Dalrak also mentioned that he was unsure how deep it had collapsed in there, they could very well have to spend days digging themselves out. This wasn’t the biggest issue though as the real problem were the ant monsters that could come from any of the other tunnels that connected to this larger cavern.

The area they were staying in had about fifty meters in diameter and three meters in height. There were four tunnels connecting to it and they branched out into more. Some were dead ends and some led to places like this one. They had two options, either digging themselves out in hopes that the passage that they previously took didn’t collapse in any other section. The other one was going through the tunnels that connected to another exit.

“I don’t like this, they never mentioned that this place suffered from earthquakes.”

Roland voiced his opinion while the rest of the party gathered. Everyone was on high alert the elf was standing closer to one of the corridors and was listening for any approaching monsters.

“You think it was something else?”

Orson asked while kicking a rock that tumbled down the rocky cavern. It produced a small echo that traveled through the large open space.

“Not sure, could have been one of the other teams fighting the ant monsters under or above that corridor.”

He gave his opinion. Maybe the other teams were fighting strong foes and used some explosive magic to get away. Things like spell scrolls were common enough and the party with tier 2 adventurers could have had some tier 3 ones with them.

“Aren’t ants good
