The Media Wizard 2958 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Clavonita tied the 37 meter long rope around her waist, pulling it tight, her heart racing with anxiety and excitement. As she glanced back at Rigal, she began to move toward the hole once more. With Rigal holding the rope, Clava began to slowly lower into the inside of the ruins from the roof. When the two adventurers were confronted with the cave-in and the large, ancient door to the ruins, they both had decided to lower Clava into them by rope. Normally a suicide mission, the task was made easy with Clava's lightweight and skinny body. She looked about the dark room as she was lowered in, the air getting moist and damp as she descended. As her feet touched the floor of the ruins, she heard the scrape of boots on stone above her. "Woah!" Rigal exclaimed at the edge of the inclined hole. "Almost pulled me in!" Clava giggled lightly as she bent down and began attempting to light her torch, the sounds and echos of the caves more vivid than before. As she lit the torch, she closed her eyes, seeing the hundreds of burnt and ancient bodies littered about the great, stone room. "You okay?" Rigal said from above. "Y-Yeah", replied Clava, opening her eyes to look about the main chamber. "Alright, you should see two rooms," said Rigal. "One I think is a feeding room, the other a sleeping area." Clava gulped deeply at this information as she surveyed the bodies about her. As she approached one wall, she covered her mouth in shock. Before her were two burnt skeletons, embracing like they were during their last moments alive before being burnt alive. Clava looked at the deeply and knew she would never get the image out of her mind. Clava began to make her way down one chamber, kicking bones and dust out of her way until she reached a dead-end. "Damn," she said, frowning. She began to make her way back. As Clava crossed the main room once more into the other corridor littered with skeletons, she tripped with a yelp, falling down an incline littered with bones. As she tumbled into the room, she looked about, her fire now extinguished and strange sounds echoing off of the walls within. Clava jumped up and began to rush up the incline, running down the dark corridor, hitting her head on the stone roof a few times, cursing lightly. As she entered the main room, she frantically began taking some of the skulls and bones. "Grab what you can!" Rigal shouted down, the rope lowering once more. Clava did what he said and began collecting some more bones and then stopped, looking at the wall. She ran to it and took off the small pickaxe on her belt and began to chip away a medium sized piece of the ancient wall, shoving it into her satchel with the skulls and bones. Clava ran to the rope and wrapped it about her waist once more, happy as she was pulled up out of the abyss. Arriving at the surface, she was breathing hard. "Did you get anything?" Rigal asked. "Yes," Clava said in response. "All we need is to cut down some vines and we can head back to Salvus. Did you plot where these ruins are for future reference?" Rigal nodded and offered her a mug of Ale, but she declined it, much to the surprise of Rigal. As they gathered their supplies and gear, Clava could not help but feel happy and scared; she had made one of the largest discoveries in her career, but had sworn she was not alone in the dark ruins... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
