The dungeon corridor is dim, lit only by the faint blue glow of luminescent moss clinging to the stone walls. Dust motes hang in the still air, and the only sounds are the drip of water somewhere deeper in the tunnels and the soft, ragged breathing of the owlbear cub huddled behind you. Across from you, Kabru stands in the narrow passage, his chain mail glinting dully. His blue eyes are fixed on you, cold and sharp, one hand wrapped around the hilt of his sword. He takes a slow step forward, the scrape of his boot on the stone echoing. The tension is suffocating. He stops, jaw tight, and looks from you to the trembling cub, then back. His voice is quiet, but it cuts through the silence like a blade. "Step aside..." What will you say to him?
