    Gabriele will watch Pietro and Zdenko with a grimace. 'Try not to make so much noise. If there's anything else down here I don't want to encourage them.' To Severin, 'Climbing down all the way to the bottom seems like asking for trouble honestly. Unless the stairs are blocked.'

    Harman simply shrugs at Severin keeping his reasoning to himself for the time being. Stairs would be safer but we'll have to take the rope down to the level below either way. Speaking of rope do we wish to leave this run of rope here or should I untie the end here and climb down on my own means? I regret not buying more rope.

    It takes a few minutes for everyone to climb down to the next level, and then for Harman to untie the rope. Then you all head back down the stairway to the rest area. After a everyone pauses to catch their breath Marina cautiously moves to the edge of the lift shaft and peers down into the darkness. "I think you kin lower yourself down this way. Or we could check if the stairway is clear."

    "My arms are getting tired from all this rope climbing. I say we check the staircase first," Severin replies.

    You head down the stairway from the resting room, descending another few twists of the staircase. After a few minutes, you find yourself in a large underground cavern. At your end of the cavern you see the wreckage of the lift, twisted and rusted. The chain that held it is piled up around the bottom, as is the broken counterweight. The builders of the mine have built out a stone platform at this end of the cavern, rising out of the water that covers most of the rest of the cavern. A causeway of sorts leads further across lake, into the darkness.

    If they were on the surface Gabriele would have felt the need to scout ahead. As it was she'll stick close to the torches and try and keep an eye out.

    "Well, at least we can be sure that Inselberg won't be running out of water any time soon," Severin whispers at the sight of the underground lake. "Seems to me there's only way forward from here - I'll go first," he says and begins moving cautiously towards the causeway.

    After checking the platform and finding little of interest, the small group cautiously heads out across the causeway. It's well built, with a flagstone path about five feet wide atop it. Every so often there are ornately carved stone lanterns; here a kneeling dwarf, there a few strange animals. They are obviously unlit at the moment. The torchlight flickers and reflects off the water as you move. It's not surprising that Harman, from his experience taking a long watch on the riverboats, spots it first... the ripples in the water are going across the current. Something's moving down there... moving directly towards the causeway! Severin spots the strange ripples a moment later. Some sort of shadow in the water. He sees, out of the corner of his eye, Marina twitching as she reaches for her sword.

    Then the water explodes in a wave outward and upward as six huge shapes burst outward, huge pale lizard-looking things, with long claws and a scaly, spiked head filled with jagged teeth. They charge up the side of the causeway, biting and snapping...

    Seeing the ripples head towards him Harman tightened his grip on his sword and raised the torch in his left hand trying to cry out a warning but not being able to get it out before the lizard folk sprung from the water.
    Harman slashed away at the one that landed closest to him on the causeway. Quick the enemy is upon us. he shouted as his sword cut through the air and sliced towards his targets arm.

    One of the beasts heaves itself on the causeway. Severin backs away from it, shield up between him and the beast. It hisses at Severin, long tongue flickering out at him. Severin now finds himself cut off from the rest of the group...

    Harman strikes at the beast but it skitters out of the way before his blow lands. Meanwhile, it lunges towards him and bites at his leg with its needle-sharp teeth. Harman fends it off with his torch and the beast hisses at him. Gabriele hears the beast lunge out of the water at her and as she turns to face it, it bites at her side. She nimbly sidesteps it and it's mouth closes on air. Behind them, they hear Marina shriek as she is bitten by one of the other beasts, and Zdenko and Pietro curse as they draw their weapons.

    Gabriele is surprised but she's a bit more prepared then she was when she crossed the mountains. She'll wrench her leg back even as the creature's jaws snap shut. Only her training with Morillo allowed her to keep her feet. With the torch held in one hand she'll draw her sword with the other and try to force the lizard in front of her to keep it's distance. 'Stay close.'

    "Oh, you must be joking!" Severin curses in desperation as the giant lizard cuts him off from the rest of the group. "What're you coming at me for! The big juicy ones are over there!" he shouts, unhooking his mace and doing his best to fend off the monster.

    Harman hacks down with his sword on the lizard's leg as is it tries to lunge in for another attack. His sword crunches through the lizard's scaly hide, and blood begins to flow. Severin and Gabriele jab and swing at the beasts attacking them, and the lizards snap and hiss back at them. Behind you, you can hear a loud booming shout from Zdenko.

    This was bad Harman thought as the lizard still was pressing its attack. He had hoped to kill it quickly to come to the aid of his allies. He could hear their cries of pain and shock. Time to finish it Harman he told himself as he kept pressing his attack on the lizard trying to bite his legs.

    With a satisfying crunch Harman smashes his sword into the beast's back, and it twitches for a few moments before going still. As he pauses to catch his bearings, to one side he sees Severin fending off one of the lizards, and to the other he sees Gabriele strike a quick blow at another lizard, only to have it lunge forward and bite down hard on her left arm. The light of the torches flickers madly as it reflects off the cavern walls and the water below and the ceiling above. There is a splash as another of the lizards rolls into the water, blood streaming from wounds on its back.

    Gabriele will swear in pained surprise as the lizard bites down on her arm. She'd been bitten by a wolf before but this was so much worse. There was nothing else to do but to try and hit it with the sword in her other hand as she shook it off. If she gets it off her arm she'll foccus on trying to avoid getting hurt like that again.

    Although distracted by the pain in her arm, Gabriele hears the faint scratch of claws on rock. Severin's hackles rise and he dares a quick glance upward. And as Harman scans the caves, he suddenly remembers to look up. Almost directly above them, climbing along the ceiling is a huge specimen of the lizards, far larger than than the others. It is crawling along the ceiling, claws grasping on the rough rock as it hunts for prey...

    Harman let's out a cry Shallya have mercy! as his eyes take in the monstrously large lizard creeping along the ceiling of the cave. He moved quickly to free Gabriel of the lizard snapping at her. Harman could tell the woman had already been bite hard in the arm as red was spreading along her sleeve. He came up behind the lizard with a flurry of stabs and slashes hoping to catch it off guard as it's attention was on Gabriel. However the fear coursing through Harman as he took in the creature above was sensed by the lizard before him and it successfully evade all of Harman's attempts.

    Severin manages to strike the lizard with his mace. The creature's thick scales crack under his blow, but his attack leaves him open to the creature's swiping claw and it manages to hit him in the head. Harman takes a couple of swings at the lizard attacking Gabriele, but its thrashing tail and sinuous movement makes him unable to land a good hit. Fortunately, the lizard is perhaps, too distracted by Harman to be able to hit Gabriele again.

    Behind Gabriele, you can see Zdenko turn to try and help Marina, while Pietro is trying to fend off the attacks of one of the lizards. Then, with a silent jump, you see the big lizard above let go from its grasp... it twists its body as it leaps, and opens its limbs wide, giant folds of skin stretching out. It glides down from the ceiling and with a sudden thump, it lands just behind Pietro, and advances towards him.

    Severin ducks the worst of the lizard's attack, but still stumbles backward from the blow. Looking up as he steadies himself, he observes the giant lizard landing behind Pietro.

    "They FLY?!! The bloody things FLY!! Behind you Pietro! It's behind you!" Severin shouts out loud. Knowing he can't abandon his comrades, he return to the fray with a frustrated growl, snapping his mace forward in a series of swift attacks.
