**Grenn took the lamp from the roof. He slipped into the tunnel behind Flame. It was pretty cozy inside this tunnel.**"So Flameclaw do you think this tunnel will lead us to the holt?"

"Who knows? It may," said the wildcat rather carelessly, "That vixen seemed to think it would." Flame's eyes seemed to glow, the pupils not being black, but orange and his irises a strange brown, not their usual blue... or maybe their usual green, not even Flame could work out the colour of his eyes.

Typhoon felt his way into the dark tunnel, guided only by the lamp in front. "Has anyone thought of what we're going to do once we're in the holt?"

"Well we could send me in. I'm an otter. I could say something like I wanted to join their holt and stuff and sort of scope the place out."**grenn shurrged. He wasn't really a stratgiest.*

"Typhoon and I could go, as in, it's not like someone could be unimpressed by us two, a badger gains respect with anyone because they're powerful beasts and pretty much always go for the "good" side. I'm relatively impressive... Please, I'm just telling the truth, and most beasts think twice before attacking me, or else they see what happened to the ones who didn't do so and consider very carefully." Flame shrugged, he wasn't a brilliant tactician, but he knew what first impressions did and how they affected a beast's thinking.

Typhoon nodded, though it didn't make any difference as he was behind Flameclaw and Grenn. "I suppose you're right, Flame. But didn't that vixen mention something about a old fox fellow? Maybe we should look for him first."

**Grenn looked around at the other beasts. He knew that there ideas were really good since the had the wisdom of seasons on them.He was just gonna do what they told him to do.**

OOC: Grenn, you might want to change that post, Flame's only about 22 seasons old, young compared to Typhoon and most other beasts. His fighting ability, experience and size make most beasts neglect his age. (he's experienced because he's been either fighting for his life or running for it since he was 14 and till he was 19, the first few years with an experienced campaigner)

OOC: The old woman from behind? I don't remember that.
Flame nodded, "Yeah, we may need all the help we can get, but unless anyone else'll lead... then I guess I will. Does anyone not want to go on and investigate whatever we see?"

OOC And just then, the Animator had a sudden and fatal heart attack.....
BIC **As the venturers progressed, the tunnel widened, and the Left-paw side wall held sconces protruding at Flame's Head height, and the air began to smell faintly of rotting flesh....**

**Grenn saw the torch holders. He used his light to light one. He blinked a few times to get used to the brightness.**"It smells kind of odd in here."

Flame's pupils narrowed considerably from the almost round shape that they had been to an almost hair fine slit, slowly widening as his eyes became used to the light. His nose wrinkled at the smell. "It's dead bodies, either they're a long way away or they're very old or relatively fresh." He took a torch from the wall and started foreward, looking around carefully for the cause of the smell.

**Grenn felt the walls. He wasn't sure exactly what he was looking for but if he found something it might be useful. He found some cave drawings. They were of a holt of otters. Some building ships and some killing other beasts.**"Hey guys I think I found something."

Typhoon walked over to Grenn. Though the badger was not exactly a expert on art, even he could see that the paintings were rather crudely done, the ships were out of proportion to the otters and also because whatever that had been used to paint them had flowed down the walls before drying up. The paintings were done only in one colour: dark brown. The fact that blood also left a stain of that hue set the badger thinking while he examined the paintings. He didn't find very much. "The conditions in this tunnel have preserved these paintings so well that they could have been made anywhere from a millennia back to last Tuesday... Nothing much we can find out..."

Flame moved over and examined the paintings closely, sniffing the paintings and even tasting a flake. The cat was no expert on painting either, but he did know that the paintings were newer than a year old, but more than months old. He looked closely at a figure in the background, painted much more detailed and it looked like it had been touched up from time to time, with several colours. "You see that figure," Flame pointed with a claw at the small and detailed figure in the background, "It is hard to see, but there looks like there's a battle behind him, a miniture battle, and, not only is it a fox, but the fox's paw is over a half-otter. The fox is painted better than the others, and it also has several different colours, white and red and black. This fox we're after may have been a survivor from a massacre by the Holt Shimmerripple. And our artist."

"Sounds like he could be the old guy that vixen told us about. Seems like he's got all the answers to this mystery."

"Well then he should be around here somewhere."**grenn looked around and called softly."Hey old man are you around?"
