She shouted, leaning in close.  "Of course we must check the tunnel!  It's practically sure to have gold or something interesting!  And it might open into the city, too."  On the other hand, Starstrike didn't know about this detour, and they couldn't tell her... but no doubt she wouldn't mind being warm and cozy in the tavern waiting for them.<br/><br/>Gesturing to try to overcome the armour's interference with her casting... fortunately they were only cantrips, so she could keep trying until they worked... first a<em>light</em>spell on her staff, then<em>dancing lights</em>to bob down the tunnel as far as they could go and stay in sight, to give the trio some foreknowledge of what was ahead, on this stretch at least.
