'This grotto was supposed to be abandoned, only the dwarfs came here to mine so what the hell is making this shaking'
When he visited the place before there was no sign of fighting and only mining, for something this huge to be here and leave no trace made no sense
The thing that was causing his mind stress soon revealed itself, or rather, themselves
"Rock elementals?"
"It's that thing again?"
Just like the giant made of rock Ellis once saw there were now three such creatures moving towards them, unlike that weird giant though these guys had proper arms and legs, they all however lacked any intricate features however like fingers or facial parts
"Anput, move the cages back, Ellis block any stones they hurl"
He ran at the rock elementals in order to slow their advance, elementals were known for their aggressive behaviour attacking anything that wasn't an elemental, the precious Dreneonates might be killed if left in their place
