Truth Behind the Sacrifice

Korrin nodded. "Yeah. Every once in a while, some Half-Drows would come to inspect our tribe to check on the statue and ask us to offer sacrifice with the bodies of dead cavemen. That's all I can remember about it."

Ram rubbed his chin, his eyes narrowing as he studied the rubble. There had to be more to this than just a statue. He felt an odd pull toward it as if something was hidden beneath the surface.

"Alright, help me move this statue," Ram said, signaling to Korrin as they began shifting the broken pieces. 

Bit by bit, they removed the shattered stones, finally clearing the space around the statue. Beneath it, to their surprise, was a dark underground cave, stretching below the statue's base.

A chill breeze escaped from the opening, carrying with it the scent of earth and something faintly metallic.
