Still forming stalactites house a menagerie of blind species, hungry and willing to go to war for the sole purpose of consuming a freshly living meal. The Drifter, being the only freshly living organism below the surface, is sure that these parasitic hominids created the tempting sounds from the descent a moment before. Is this the cost of exploration? An excruciating death? Certainly not. Though the Drifter’s intentions were never to erase a colony of native organisms living in the Dungeon, he is filled with regret that he must obliterate the creatures in order to preserve his own life, and in turn, the glorious quest he must complete.
