Return to Stonehell Dungeon
Leah listened with interest to Brandli's story. "Does 'prowl-lapse' mean die? Because that is what happens when you die. Big worms come out of you. We had to dig someone up because we thought he might have been a vampire, but he was just a bunch of worms and bugs. I never saw an ogre though."
Leah was fortunate to be right behind Ben in the marching order. So he was right there for whenever she had important information to provide, information such as "Do not sorry, I will make sure nothing sneaks up behind us as we go, because that is my job, to guard us from behind. That is very important, because when bad things sneak up on you, they almost always do it from behind. But I will see them coming and keep them back. Also, do you think vampire worms could be a thing?"
Unfortunately, she also noted that she was right next to noted roué Devin in the marching order. "Just keep your mind on Stonehell instead of on me, and we will be fine," she informs him brusquely.
Despite whatever fears the others might have about her guarding the rear, she would actually do a good job of it, frequently turning and scanning behind them to make sure nothing was trying to creep up on them. She took a comfort in the role as well- she had been behind herself before, so she would not be lost there if they all had to turn around and have her lead the way.
Once they entered the room, she looked about and said, "This is a kitchen. That makes sense, since orcs have to eat. I was told they cooked over a firepit or ate people raw, but they must also have other things they like to make and eat too. Maybe they have bed and breakfasts?" She laughed. "I am going to start a bed and breakfast, but you can bet I will not have orcs cooking in the kitchen, so do not worry about that if you come to stay."
Since there was nothing immediate to fight in here, and the corridor was only 10', she then said, "I will watch out where we came, in case something is coming, I can warn us. But if you need me, just call, because I am only a pole away." She went back the ten feet to the door they had just opened and watched intently, looking and listening to make sure nothing came out of the corridors.
