Sending his sight out Drake gains only dark, hungry urges coming from within, a hunger that seeks to be sated.

Metal-like creature? Or flesh'n'blood?

Both Drake and Curren for a moment stand stunned.
Before it occurs to the gnome that escape may be the best option for something wicked this way comes.

Drake picks himself up from the floor of the cylinder, which they haven't yet left.

"OK, that's different..." quips Frank "We need to get going. Unless you've got a really good reason to stay I think we need to turn this thing around and get out of here!" he says to Curren.

Does this cylinder/lift look like it goes back up? Can Drake work out how to send it back up?

The travel cylinder appears to have been crushed in the cave-in, however as if by tradition there is an intact branch tunnel that leads offto your left.

Then fate has decided upon a course of action for us.

Curren has been a bit quiet since the 'beast' arrived, which Frank will put down to fear.

Now the dimunitive man grabs hold of Currens trousers, just above the knee, and tugs to encourage him to move.

"C'mon lanky, down there! Quick!!!"

'You really are a turd Frank, a turd in the classic sense!' The cockney's voice quivers with rage and trepidation.

'That bladdy thing is probably on the prowl for more of your magical essence!' as he backs up from the fearful spectacle to follow Drakes urgings to escape.

What has happened with the insects as the roof of their home has fallen in on their heads?!

' An' it won't ask your permission this time! You garden ornament reject!' he exclaims hotly. I can understand once, but not playing the devils odds three times! Jesus!'

They appear to have been engulfed in the avalanche.

Frank has no chance of keeping up with Curren by running, so casts a little spell to give him a speed boost. He floats along keeping up with Curren, and at head height.

"I'll put that little outburst down to stress, captain, but I really don't think that thing back there is the Gagglething. I didn't pick up anything similar to last time, and it didn't seem to be metal!!!
Don't forget you came here of your own accord! It could be after you, did you think of that you great lanky hairless ape!? Did you!?!?!"
