It took little time to realize that the burned out structure had more problems than that of a fire, and it seemed the rats they had encountered not only once, but twice, had what could be a nest deep underground. The Goliath surveyed the surrounding area once more, taking note of the gnawed floorboards and most of anything that was left in the way of furnishings. She could certainly feel the tension from the Elf, as her lithe frame passed the Goliath with a resolve that wanted this only to end. But who didn't? There were certainly a few times where the thought of never actually returning crossed the woman's mind. She figured a dozen or so large rats were going to be the least of their troubles.
Vah'lux stepped closer to the gaping mouth of the tunnel, which was not at all inviting to one who spent most of her days above the ground, where one could look up to the heavens as both Kavaki and Manethak graced them with their presence. Underground, however, there was a certain disconnect that was felt from the deities, even though it was untrue, and while the Goliath kept a steadfast outlook in most situations, staring down into the pit of the unknown was not something she hoped for.
"Are we to venture down...there?" The pause was pretty obvious, pointing her glaive toward the tunnel's opening, only to realize one simply fact. She was large as was her main polearm, which meant...
"Ah, time to downsize..." She nodded, slinging the glaive behind her back and adjusting the leather straps to secure it, before pulling out the large hand axe hooked on her waist and taking a few swings from side-to-side. "Small but mighty." She said with a grin to no one in particular.
