They end up walking quite a long time up the hill, closer to an hour. They start seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Are they about to get out of the underground and back into the forest?
No, not yet, it's just a room full of lightbulbs. That are alive and have small feet and arms, as well as a little face. Lightbulb Walkies are friendly monsters that light the way for people. They've been popular at Nightwake festivals, but no one's seen them in a long time. Apparently, all of them have ended up getting lost in the Silent Mountains. If you let them, they will follow you in hopes of making it back to the city safely.
In other words, you may have an escort mission in your hands. Just getting them to the airship station is enough, since the natives there will know about them.
Otherwise, they're free to continue with extra light to guide them along the way.
