"Hrunf," the foremost Bugbear grunted, placing his hands in his belt in what was a more relaxed posture once Isiliva was firmly planted in the ice.
"So long as you don't try anything, your skull as well as those of your companions' shall remain intact, or I am not Brak, son of Buldre, sonson of Bronk." He banged his chest with a closed fist.
"These are my compatriots, much to my dismay — Donk," he indicated to the Bugbear behind him with the pot raised over her head. She, also realizing there was no immediate threat, carefully lowered and it was set aside with a heavy
thunk. It seemed to have belonged to an arrangement further near the back of the thirty foot wide chamber, where the ashes of a fire laid smoldered underneath a mounted spitrack. And close by, in the corner, laid the bare bones of a reindeer.
"-and Knerk." he gestured to the remaining Bugbear who by all accounts looked like he had a poor grasp on what was going on.
The interior of the Spire seemed much like the exterior, with the same swirling spirals suffusing its every nook and cranny. And of course, as the entrance had indicated, everything was upside down — the ceiling had become the floor and the floor had become the ceiling. A large double-doorway, surprisingly with the doors still attached though hanging in the air, was situated in the eastern wall, while a smaller doorway stood in the south. In corner opposite of the animal carcass was a hole that pierced straight through the ceiling.
Map! Note the doorways on both the eastern and western wall, as well as the hole in the southwestern corner.
I see there's some strange artifacting going on with the tokens, where they're chopped off. Oh well, such are the woes of working with very large photoshop files.
Edit: Added in Mallory's token, as she made the save.
Edit 2: And Farwalker's!
