Back at camp, then. For now, if our little ragtag crew is done looting the corpse of that thing ten times over by now...
[YEAH HE SEES ALL Y'ALL OVER THERE]
We should get a move on.
[And so they do.
Really, nothing about the Underdark is pleasant, and the day is yet one more long one, though there are no more instances of exploration turning pear-shaped a second time. Once camp has been set up, Astarion is simple enough to find, keeping company with a book splayed open in his hands as is usual. Most everyone has turned in for the night; the center campfire blazes warmly, crackling and tossing out shadows here and there, but it's quiet. Almost peaceful, or as closely as the Underdark can afford a sense of true peace.]
