Instead of small bones, we go... - Tradução em português

Hi !

I still doing the translation of the game Trine and once again I need your help.

The scenario is: Our heroes now have to pass through the Dragon Graveyard and there are a lot of dragon bones all over the place.
A character is arguing that going to a place called "Dragon Graveyard" may not be safe, because she thinks the bones can come back to life.



The sentence:
"So instead of small bones, we go where the big ones rest.

I'm pretty sure I should NOT translate it literally. How could I translate this keeping the sense ?
