The cavern was not well maintained, and he could see cobwebs and other signs of neglect. It was clear that the cult had not been using the cavern for long, and they had not put much effort into keeping it clean. The torches were running low on oil and some had already burned out, leaving areas of the cavern in complete darkness.
As he made his way towards the altar, he could hear the sound of whispering and murmurs coming from deeper in the cavern. It was clear that there were other people present in the cavern, and he knew that he had to be careful.
A man approached him, asking him similar questions to what was asked earlier in the day. Kishin answered as truthfully as possible, and the man seemed convinced, if only for a moment. But then, the man called him a spy and his men gave chase. Kishin played along and ran, since he doesn't know how strong the enemies are. A good sign is that there's nothing being casted.
Kishin quickly turned and ran back through the tunnel, eventually losing them as he went through the alleyways. Once he was sure that he was safe, he returned to Guard Captain Devon to tell him what he had found out. Devon was grateful for the information and rewarded Kishin for his efforts. Kishin returned home that night, feeling a sense of satisfaction for a job well done, he knew that it was not easy but he was glad that he was able to verify things. He was ready to take on any other task that may come his way in the future.
