Arveene wrinkles her nose, and then looks around as though she heard a noise. She readies her crossbow and whispers, "Those lugs failed to mention that something down here could talk. See anything, Sunny?"

Lorenzo stays in the middle or at the back, letting his tougher companions go first.

"Nope, nope, nope."
Its all your little gnome offers as the mental whispers in his head talk about eating him.
He backs up, wiggling through the group until he's last in the line.
Once he's safely not about to get eaten first he draws his weapon and looks ready to try the front door.

Grogg has seen some nasty things in his wanderings through the wilderness, and while the smell is unpleasant he has experienced worse. Not that he relishes the scent, but he wants to get in and out quickly. He takes the lead, pushing forward into the cavern.

As Grogg leads the group into the underground portion of the manor, they spot a one-eyed creature hiding behind one of the large stone columns near the west ends of the bridges. This monstrous creature has terrible talons and a large baleful eye peering at them. The creature seems content to watch, weight, and assess the group.
To the right/east of the group is a steep-sided fissure about 5-10 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The faint smell of decaying flesh is seemingly coming from the fissure.
Seeing that the group has not responded to the Nothic's suggestion, the creature speaks in undercommon saying, "Bring me flesh. Fresh meat. Hungry." The creature doesn't make any sudden, threatening moves, but it appears that the group needs to make an offering or they might be considered a threat.

Sasha looks at the others. She doesn't have any meat on her (and she'd make a paltry meal for the creature herself). "Anyone got anything?" she whispers.

For the first time since any within the cavern have met her, Arveene looks shaken. She swears under her breath, something about the bandits currently locked up.
She answers Sasha, "I read about it. They call it a 'nothic'. Just don't give it a reason to attack, or it'll use that eye to rot you down to the bone. That's all I remember."

"Aye, I remember. But do we have anything to appease it?"
