FRP: Cavernlight Company

[Wyrd 1]

Wyrd silently pulls out two wooden tools, hesitating a moment at something else before leaving it in her pack.

"I've also a few torches if we want to move back from the wind and mists. I'm not sure this paltry fire warrants saving..."

[Lawrence Berell 226]

"Yes"Says Relok'oth,"It matters not too me.But I have medical supplies on me..." And with that he extracted 5 apples and some herbs(leaves)and spread them out on a blanket.

[Sigvried 2]

Thyst caught the map of the dwarf and stared at it. He had little interest in Relok'oth's supplies but gave him a small nod.

He looked at his fire and finally turned to Wyrd with a bit of a smug look.

"Well this is something to write down in history books. An elf wants to venture deeper in the cavern and the dwarf wants to try his luck outside."

Thyst lit the second map with the dying camp-fire and held it in his hand. As the flame brightened it showed two possible ways. Either a shallow crack in the nearby wall or a larger pathway. The latter one was traversed by Iblees-spawn but only one with a knowledge of tracking would know --Thyst did not.

"Well what is it going to be? The crack, The large tunnel or outside?"

He gave no eye contact saying this. He kept his eyes on the tunnel, his choice was obvious.

[Lawrence Berell 226]

"Tut-tut-tutunnels?"exclaims Relok'oth,his brow suddenly sweating,"You cannnot be serious."He gulps,and looks the Wyrd for reassurence.

[Wyrd 1]

Wyrd smiles slightly at Thyst's words and takes out a torch. She lights it on the dying fire as well and holds it up.

"I'd just like to get out of the cold." She looks down the larger tunnel as well, "Though I've never known one of these tunnels to be completely free of Iblees' taint."

She turns to the dwarf, "Perhaps we should defer to a tunnel-runner's experience?"

"So ya saying, a Dwarf wouldnt go underground, but an Elf would? Ya hav no idea what Dark secrets and beings lie down there, ya fool! Lost many brothers like this, walkin into tunnels without caution. But,"Looks at Relok'oth"I hav to agree with Wyrd and Thyst on dis one. Despite da tunnels being dangerous, we arnt fully aware about da creatures dat walk on da surface." Looks at the entrance and back at his companions."So yes, we are goin into da tunnel. Wyrd lead da way, ya hav da torch. Relok'oth and Thyst walk in da middle. I will cover da back.

[Lawrence Berell 226]

"Ulp"Says Relok'oth,"But I get aweful claustrophobic.It would be better for me to go at the back if anything."

[kozeljko 0]

Kozeljko looks at him with a sinister smile: "I didn't say dat I will walk on da walk, I said dat I would cover our back, if ya know what I am poitin out, har har.

[Sigvried 2]

The torch was lit on the last sputters of the fire and the party descended through the larger tunnel. After the talking with each other they all silently agreed that survival goes first but suspicion still slowed them down.

Thyst for example kept turning around to glance at the dwarf, he vaguely trusted him but only for so long every time he didn't have his eyes on him.

Apparently he also did not feel like engaging in conversation until they found a better spot to spend the night.

[Wyrd 1]

Wyrd lead the group slowly; whether her speed was due to caution or distraction could be inferred from the twitch of her ears whenever one of the others moved suddenly or let a foot fall too loudly.

When the tunnel widens abruptly she slows further and stops, the far edge of the torchlight revealing a split, the left tunnel descending and the right ascending. After staring into the darkness a moment longer she half-turns back to the group with a small shrug.

[Lawrence Berell 226]

Relok'oth looks slightly green...He is also rocking back and forth...

[Sigvried 2]

"Right." the orc growled softly.

"I'm not keen on descending any further. If anything, going up might lead to another exit. It won't stop the storm but I'd rather know my options before making a new fire."

That said they were nowhere near a good spot to camp the wind from the tunnels simply blew to hard to ever start a fire.

[Lawrence Berell 226]

"Have non of us the strength to shift these rocks?"Asks Relok'oth."They look loose...who has a pickaxe?"

[Sigvried 2]

"Even if we had one I am not keen on making a lot of noise now!" Thyst snarled at the elf.

Kozeljko walked slowly behind, listening to the conversation. When he saw that they were stuck, he walked to the tunnels and inspected them. His attention caught some symbols on the wall between the tunnels:"Lads, here ar some symbols of som kind." He looks at them closely "I cant read it, Wyrd could ya com here, maybe you can?"
