Dumb
The descent went slow and in silence, the atmosphere felt off but it may have just been due to effectively walking in circles for quite a while which likely would've made any 'normal' individual lose any sense of direction or time. However, eventually, somewhere around fifteen to twenty minutes later when trying to reach fo rthe next step all they met by was an even floor, a couple steps more forward and the walls disappeared in the darkness to the sides and their guide stood still for a moment listening. Fortunately for the pair in theshuttle, the dice did not make any noise due to their texture.
What they could hear in the darkness was... clicking, two kinds of it, one of some hard and sharp tipping against the solid floor, almost like robotic legs, the other more organic, almost like a chitter.
As their eyes adapted to the very dim luminosity in they could see massive shadows in the dark. The Caravan leader nodded. Then turned towards them, breaking the silence, although only barely.
"We will be heading another floor down, don't make any hasty movements, don't make any loud sounds."
He looked off into the darkness a couple moments longer then nodded again.
"Come."
As they passed about the midway point of the room, they saw smaller shadows moving about in the dark, illuminated by similar dim red lights, some of them humanoid from which they concluded they were the other caravan members which descended earlier, the seemed to be tending and herding even smaller shadows, moving between the legs of the massive ones. However the most interesting thing of the whole scenery was likely the revelation of the larger shadows.
What they saw was a large, bulbous orb of flesh hanging from a midsection from which thin, stilted legs extended, the exact number of which they could not determine. Atop of it, high above them, sat a familiar looking structure, it was the trees they had seen outside of the settlement.
Hal paused for a brief moment, holding his lantern up in the air to get a better view, looking at it then pulling one of the dried leaves out of his pocket, his gaze wandering between the two, simply noting "I see." in the end, continuing to follow their guide.
Reaching the other side of the room, they descended another set of stairs, this time considerably shorter and turned around to another set, eventually ending up another room, not quite as high as the former one, but equally as expansive, they couldn't see the other ends of the room though what they could see that even from the point where they were standing there were murals on the wall depicting various sensible or less senible scenes from what was presumably the history of the planet.
It was here their guide stopped and sat down on the staircase.
"We are here, take a look around, I will tell you when we leave."
