Led deeper into the monstrosity of flame, lava, and smoke by Dog, Hawk and Wren were not exactly the happiest of campers. They followed carefully, trusting the stallion wouldn't take them into danger, but there was something... Wrong about being down here. 

"I'm still pretty new to dungeoning," Wren admitted, pressing against Hawk's side. She wouldn't say it aloud, but she was grateful to have the two level-headed phlegmatics around, even if they took her far out of her comfort zone. "So... I dunno about being this deep."

"It'll be fine," Dog replied, pausing and turning to bump noses with her, hot exhale warming her face even more than the heated dungeon level. "I'm here, we both have you."

Hare looked incredulous for a moment, "we do?" before grunting and adding, "We do!"

Wren laughed, ignoring the dusty hoofprint on one of Hare's forelegs that Pup the wisp buzzed down to inspect... at least she thought that's what it was doing. She was quite amused by this pair, though they were still all getting used to each other. She'd never been this far down, and had in fact been very new to dungeoning at all. She'd been telling the boys just now that she'd lived a happy life on the surface until she'd been following a particularly intriguing creature and had been separated from her band. After roaming for a bit on her own, she'd come across a dungeon entrance and had wandered in without a care in the world.

Then gotten lost.

Dog wished he could be that careless.

He was the first to notice the circle, painted in reddish brown across the floor of the furnace up ahead. Giving a stamp of warning, he led them towards it, observing the shape. A circle, with a triangle within and shapes unfamiliar... but for one. He pawed at the silhouette of a Courser's head.

"What does it mean?" Wren asked, to which Hare snorted and shook his head, admitting he had no idea.

"I'm not sure," Dog said. "But... I know this scent."

Wren gave a soft laugh, chiding good-naturedly: "Smells like hell, which is where you're from, dragging us down here."
