Samuel stands over the objects, regarding them carefully. "If those are eggs, they're bigger than any I've ever heard of, much less seen. But...what else could they be?" He glances again toward the downward-sloping shaft, wondering what sort of creature might lay eggs like this. Looking back at the "nest", he crouches down to take a closer look.

If these were eggs, then taking one could risk angering whatever creature they belong to...and they had all seen what sort of devastation this thing could cause. But who was to say that it would even notice? They could scoop them up, race out through the other tunnels, and be back in Santa Fe before the creature even noticed they were gone...

As he contemplates their potential actions, he slowly reaches out a hand, pausing with it just an inch from the surface of the eggs. He holds it there for a few moments, his hand faintly trembling - as if he expected the egg to burst open at any moment - then extends his hand to place his palm against the surface.

Underground; in the Dark Samuel reaches his hand out with trepidation. The tips of his finger shaking as they reached closer and closer to the strange object. Finally, his fingers glided across the object as he expected the world to end around him…but moments passed, and nothing happened. The oblong object felt cool to the touch and leathery, but without the tanning effect, almost like the hide of a living cow. It reminded him almost of a strange thick-skinned fruit, its thick outer region protecting something soft and delicate on the inside.

Moments passed within the tunnel and very little seemed to change save the occasions shift in the strange slime as gravity pulled down a glop here or a puddle was stepped in there.

One way was still a dead end, and one of the three ways out was certainly a death trap for anyone who got too close, that left the two tunnels at the far side, one to the left and one to the right.

Danny got down to the edge of the pit and extended his hand. "Sam, if you are going to grab that thing to bring with us, now is the time to do it. I can help you out of that pit if you need it. Otherwise I’ll go in and grab it. Either way, we need to get moving."

Bethany
left-aligned image
Once the others were done with their egg-napping,
Bethany accompanied the group towards the right-
hand tunnel (which is what they had agreed to
before) holding the lantern aloft.

Right Hand Tunnel
She begins to wonder about them outloud, "If this thing lays eggs and is this big what does it eat? Cows I'd guess, but what if it tunnels to the town? What if those really are eggs and they hatch? Will they only eat cows or will they too head towards the town?" Once the others are done with taking an egg (if it really is one) she takes out her knife and slices into the others.

Done with the grisly task she follows Bethany out and to the right. Not sure if what she did was the right thing and yet sure that she has, at least, saved some people from death. Still there's the matter of the creature itself and she says, "Once we get everyone out I'm going back in. This thing can't be allowed to hunt people."

Omelets? Ahyoka slides her knife into the strange object. The leathery skin offers some resistance but the knife pierces through when enough force is applied. Amidst a wealth of slimy fluids, a small reptilian-like worm slides out into Ahyokas hand. It writhes and moves, trying to shy away from the lantern light shining from Bethany’s lantern, but it is unable to move of its own accord as its body just convulses back and forth.

Writhing and squalling in an unsettling whine before curling up and dying. Right before your eyes the dead wormish creature begins to dissolve into the same strange goo that was inside the egg, and within a minute there is nothing left in Ahyoka’s hands but a strange, acrid smelling goo, causing her hand to begin to burn like it had been touching a sheet of mountain ice for far too long.
OoCIs the plan still to take the egg and exit the caverns?
