As the two men ran through what seemed to be an endless catacomb of almost pitch black tunnels Tydirium started to wonder why he was still jogging behind the tall hume of which he still towered over. Suddenly the hume stopped dead and gripped his scythe.
"Elvaan you there?" He whispered harshly.
"Yes, I am." Tydirium replied in a similar tone.
"Don't talk you idiot it'll hear us!" Ciriph shot back at Tydirium.
"But you-"
"But nothing don't talk and we might be able to sneak past it." Interjected Ciriph.
Tydirium looked around himself and soon came to realize he was no longer running down a tunnel but had come out in what seemed to be a huge circular room deep within a cavern. The creature that Ciriph was obviously so worried about must be near here but Tydirium couldn't see a think but meager outlines in the ground and walls.
Then the sound hit him first it sounded like a deep rumbling not unalike his close friend Dunadies snoring. The sound began to grow in volume and gain in pitch until the sound was a intense squealing that causing Tydirium to drop to his knees and close his eyes tightly alike he did when he was a small boy. Suddenly the sound cut out Tydirium stumbled to his feet weakly when he finally managed to open his eyes the site before him was one of total carnage.
What appeared to be a giant scorpion looked like it had been gutted and hacked up like the lobsters off the coast of Mhaura. "Oh how I miss Mhaura" Thought Tydirium then he remembered why he had left his holiday home there n headed back to San'dOria. "Stupid Mithra I hope he looks like an elvaan." Tydirium thought about his Bastard son who he had ran away from.
He then realized that Ciriph had somehow disappeared.
"Ciriph where are you?!" He called looking around again.
"CIRIPH?!" He bellowed feeling a panic attack on its way he began to count to ten when he heard some strange noises coming from the scorpion..
"Nyum mmm nyum nyum nyummmmm."
Tydirium saw the tail of the scorpion twitch and begin to rise up until the very tail split open and Ciriph walked out looking amused and holding what looked like the scorpions liver.
"Hello, I'm sorry about before they hadn't fed me in a while so I get a bit angsty without food, this scorpion isn't scallops tropicale but its better than most of the stuff we will find around here. Want some?!" He said cheerfully offering Tydirium a bloody mass of guts.
"I'll pass, how did you bring that down? I thought you couldn't hit anything?" Tydirium asked feeling sick at the sight of the mess that Ciriph claimed was tasty.
"Hmm you see I can hit things with good old whackey sometimes. I just miss in really inopportune moments mostly like before." Replied Ciriph cheerfully again Tydirium began to think he had changed greatly.

So what are were you doing in the prison then Ciriph?"
"Hmm I don't remember I went down there to visit a very good mate of mine Novalmuge you heard of him?" Tydirium nodded in the affirmative. "Oh good, lots of people don't like him because hes close to becoming something that they fear greatly. Anyway he was teaching me the attack with a scythe called 'Spiral hell' its a very nice looking move lots of spinning and killing involved. Any how I was on my way out when that pompous arse of an Elvaan Trion bumped into me, I apologised but he wouldn't have any of it next thing I know I'm in prison. So how about you?" Asked Ciriph as he reached inside the scorpion and took a chunk of it and began to chew upon it.
"Well I was doing a few bits and bobs for Halver when he asked me to find Trion a wife. I thought I did a ruddy good job as did Halver but Trion didn't we had a scrap and here I am now." Tydirium said feeling better to have a common cause with Ciriph.
"Ah! Well it would probably be beneficial for both of us to avenge our injustice upon that Dhamel of an Elvaan?"
"Yes Ciriph, yes it would!"
The two men shared a few more words and the plan was set. First they head out of the caverns of Rangeoumont pass then they find there way to a city then they find the pub. Then Trion will be hunted down.
"I like your plan Ciriph but I have one problem with it."
"You do? What would that be?" Inquired Ciriph looking hurt.
"We find a pub on the way to a city."
"Agreed, but first we need to get out of here..."
