The smell of blood still pervaded the creepy underground tunnel under the lakeside outpost as Vivian and Lily was moved forward cautiously.
They had yet to meet Big Beardy and his company, so they did not know that the four ascetics had already informed Gelton and Ophra about the tunnel. But, they did expect that news of the tunnel must have reached the person in charge of the diocese. So, the two of them carefully scanned their surroundings when they arrived at the outpost earlier for fear that investigators from the church may have set up camp there. However, luck was on their side as Gelton had postponed the investigation to another day. Vivian and Lily did not see anyone there and there were no traces that showed strangers had been in the tunnel too.
