They encountered a monstrous snake-like creature with a human face, warning them to leave, but they defeated it. However, they soon realized they were not alone, as more hissing and chanting voices emerged from the fog. Trapped by the surrounding cliffs and depths, they reluctantly investigated further. Finally, they discovered a loose slab on the floor, revealing a hidden stairwell leading downward.
