Allistair speaks up. "Well, between all the languages known by us, perhaps we should try what we did before, have people listen at the door in groups of 2 or so and see if we can figure out what this is? Knowing about that white dragon certainly made dealing with it a little easier."

Harp nods in agreement. "Mund, would you go with your brother and Salix first, since they seem to know more than the rest of us. If they don't recognize it, then we can have Kal and Ragnar see if they do."

In case I have to say it explicitly, Salix will do as Harp requests.

Mund will too. Of course, since Mund knows Orcish, he'll take a listen as well.

The two humans and the 1/2 elf split off from the party and try and work their way down the hallway as quietly as possible.
When they are about 10 feet from the door they can hear whatever is in the room. The three listen for a while, looking at each other every now and then, curious looks passing between them. After about 30 seconds they head back up the hallway. Shaking their heads they report that none of them understood anything to be a language. "I doubt it was a language that was being spoken, or rather yelled. There are certain patterns and such that languages have and that had none of them" says Allistair.

OOC: Does Allistair or Ragnar have the Enlarge Person spell memorized? We used that once before against the land shark and Harp is thinking (dangerous proposition, I know) that that maybe useful once again.
Mark, Surin mentioned that the "thing" sounded "big" What gave him that impression? Did the sound impressions come from well above his hearing height? I am just trying to determine if Harp has enough information to think the Enlarge Person spell mgiht be appropriate?

I'll answer that -- "Look at how you're walking around compared to how, say, I walk around. Your legs are a whole lot longer and bigger, so your footfalls are a lot heavier and farther apart than mine. From what I could hear, I'd guess that they're pretty big."
