Gatto and the Captain chat, Gatto asking questions and the Darkling replying, sometimes with just a single word, sometimes with a phrase.
Gatto turns to Grimes and says, Here's what he says. His name is Clarence, by the way. He isn't sure where Greenstar is: she is to be sacrificed soon but could be in a nearby chamber or in the dome being sacrificed. Since Clarence is off duty, he doesn't know for sure, but there's a good chance she can still be saved. He says that they sacrifice her over the water in the largest dome on a platform where the Razemeth the Avatar comes up and eats the sacrifice. He says the Avatar is a large, black dragon and is to be feared.
Clarence says he isn't an explorer and doesn't know how you got in, but the way he knows to the surface is the volcano. He was there once, long ago. The huge cavern across the lava lake from here has many paths leading to other lizard colonies. He imagines that that's how I was kidnapped from my home in the Gemfarer mines.
Clarence says that he would have heard it if you were coming: the troops would have been mobilized. He says there are maybe thirty lizardfolk, both Darkling and Greens, in the domes at any given time. He has no idea how many you've encountered so no idea how many you have left to encounter. The last dome, if the sacrifice is occurring, will have perhaps somewhere between ten and fifteen lizardfolk, from the high priest to pilgrims come to make offerings.
Legend has it that Razemeth has a great treasure under water where he lives.
