Astra looked at the figure in dumb surprise when it answered in such a
timid voice. Fred looked up from behind her, equally surprised. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" said the same little voice and laughed merrily. Suddenly the top of the great creatures head opened and a gnome jumped out. "Didn't expect that did you?" it said happily, "I just use that thing to scare away the less pleasant inhabitants of these caves. It's run by clockwork," he gave the fake guard a pat and then turned and walked through the door. Astra and Fred looked at each other and followed him in, velus at their heals. "Say, ain't it a bit nippy walking around naked down here?" the gnome asked casually. "I... sort of lost my clothes," Astra answered. "Ah, I see. Happens all the time," the gnome said. "So you want to get up over ground then? Just come this way."
