Nobody got your spear Rath but you finally shake the effects of the psychic shock emitted by the death of the golden mind eater just in time to see a large translucent hand grab it and disappear undewater with it.  A large swirl of water and a gurgle sound and the lakes water disappeared down a drain and then you and the party are standing in a drained lake.  The only water remaining are a few ankle deep puddles and bits of flotsam scattered around the muddy lake bottom from centuries worth of travelers and workers.  A chattering sound from the Lizardmen who are bobbing their heads at each other and then at you.  They quickly continue in the direction they were leading you.  Dardeaya following them closely as if afraid to be separated very far from them. 

They move up a slight slope and a few minutes later the ceiling lowers and all of you have to stoop.  Over the hours a low rumbling sound began to be heard and then the rythmic tap of large hammers in the back ground coming from a hole ahead of you.  You are heading straight towards it moving faster and faster and the Lizardmen appeared to be pulled towards the sound.  Suddenly Dardeaya darts ahead and stops facing you just in front of the 4' hole in the wall and spreads his arms out to stop all of you from advancing.  The Lizardmen utter a low growl and point their long spear points at his chest but he doesn't budge an inch.  A small boy holding off 3 giants with deadly spears aimed at him but Dareaya is adamant about not moving. 

Dardeaya

The sounds, the smells they are not real,  It it is an illusion. 

One Lizardman lowers his spear point a few inches and shakes his head as if confused.  The other two tremble in their eagerness to skewer the poor lad but theor orders to guide and protect them have stayed their hand.  Still a wrong move or a wrong word could push them over the edge as they hear mining and smell their kin just on the other side of the opening.
