It fell into silence.
Esfir glanced towards the others, tilting her head back to the entrance. If they had gone and ran, perhaps escape would have been easy after all. Nothing had descended from outside the caves either, nothing had squashed flat the critters that had scurried away after that booming roar. If there was nothing that was coming for them, what did that mean?
She swallowed, gathering her wits in her guts, and stepped further into the darkness. Her bare feet padded quietly against the stone and dirt, her brow furrowing with focus as the orc runt approached one wall and continued alongside it. What could that roar have been? A nocturnal creature, just scaring away those that disturbed its rest? A wounded creature, putting on a facade to intimidate those away from approach? Or simply a predator who wasn't interested in hunting?
Hah.
Perhaps it was literally just the delayed echo of the explosion from before, warped into a nightmare-scream by the twisted caverns of the cave?
