The air tickles against my mana sense, a new sensation, like a pool of shadow lapping against my mind. There's something else that's off about this tunnel. It's too… civilised. The usual crags and stony pillars that jut upwards or downwards are curiously absent. It's almost as if someone had curated this section of tunnel to make it more palatable to move through.

Oh snap!

Have we come across another travelled section of tunnel that the humans use? Or does someone else live around here? I can't rule it out. It's time to engage stealth mode! Which I have to say, I'm not nearly as good at now, given my size… It's better than nothing!

[You guys hang here for a minute. I need to go and explore this tunnel to make sure it's safe.]

[Hurr?] Tiny grunts.

[No we can't just fight everything. If we run into those Legion guys, they'll be more trouble than we need right now. Use your head.]

[Harr!]

[Yes, I was a bit harsh there, I apologise.]
