As they continued down the hallway they passed another set of stairs. Scar couldn't help but cast a brief look inside in passing, wondering if there were any animated corpses down there as well. But all he saw was darkness, his glance too short to make out anything of significance. Not that he was about to stand still and look, however.
His sensitive hearing still picked up the moaning from the staircase they had just left. They had managed to create a good distance between them and the decaying monsters, but that would be of little use once they'd hit a dead end.
"Perhaps we should lock ourselves in one of the rooms," Scar suggested between his panting. It was the only thing he could think of that might work against these things.
