We’re really fucking lucky with that sword toss - Melita must have stellar aim. I give her a thumbs up, hoping she can see it, and go to read the writing. But when I get there, my heart starts to pound in my chest - nothing like that has appeared in the Fingers before and I fall silent, running through the list of creatures in my head. First I think it might be the L’ma - but no, we’d saved it earlier. And it wasn’t threatening. Could it be - ? Can it survive out of the deep?
If it is the great sea monster from the bottom of the Maw, we’re all totally fucked. Or maybe it has something to do with fire and it lived in the volcano? Either way, I’m very unsettled. I slide over to retrieve the glowing sword, oblivious to Sunjata’s injury (sorry dude) and say aloud, “It’s a warning that something has woken up. I've never seen it before and I’m not sure we should go any further... Can you get back out or do you need uh - help?” If Sunjata seems to need help. I try and use the sword as light to guide him backwards, away from the rocks. By the light of the sword I also try to turn and try to signal silently to Melita and Loren that we shouldn’t go this way.
If something is awake, do I really want to be yelling? Not so much. I’ll explain once we get back to the boat.

Raza reads the writing and relays the warning and dead end to Sunjata, offers to help back him out if he needs it. Tries to signal to Melita and Loren that the left hand tunnel ain’t the way to go anymore.
