Bob's eyes are shining, and he seems to have forgotten his earlier fear. "Tha' was AWESOME! Ah can't believe y'all took down a DEMON! Never tought ah'd see anythin' like that wi' my own eyes!"

And then, suddenly, the fear is back. "Did y'all hear that?"

Shale looks upwards, just in time to have a peeble bounce on the place where most humanoids have their foreheads.

This can't be a coincidence


He races for the recently opened door without waiting for the others.

Artemis is stirred from the beginnings of his slumber.

"Yeah.... that's not good..."

Faster than thought possible given his recent battering at the hands of the devil, Artemis bounces up, picks up Gil and runs after Shale.

"LILLI! BOB! Hurry up! We're moving on!"

A huge chunk of rock falls from the ceiling as you dash for the exit, pulping the devil's corpse. There is a rumbling overhead that swells in volume, louder and louder, and just as you reach the iron door, part of the ceiling collapses, filling in the sparkling pool with a mound of broken boulders.

A large chunk of the ceiling falls above one of the vortexes and is sucked in. An instant later it is spit out of one of the others and ricochets around the room, destroying one of the rickety bridges. Lilli ducks through the door just before it smashes into the doorframe and shatters.

The door opens onto a wide tunnel that slopes downward. At the top of the slope, a train of 3 linked mine carts sit on top of a set of tracks that disappear off into the distance. The rearmost cart is filled to the brim with chunks of silver ore.

The ground rumbles again, and the tracks buck. A wedge of wood is dislodged from beneath one of the cart wheels and goes bouncing away down the tunnel. The carts jerk forward a few inches before they're stopped by the one remaining chock.

With a grunt, Gil becomes conscious, eyes blaring open in alarm! AAADAMASEE-UP WAKEOUT! screams the bleeding scholar, bouncing on Artemis' shoulder.




OOC: Can't give xp, but that was a great response to Bob Someone! JNC, masterful treasure distribution.

Artemis doesn't miss a beat, running straight for the carts.

"Everybody in! No pushing, no shoving, there may be safety exits, but you won't want to use them!" he grins.

Artemis helps Lilli into the cart with Bob, makes sure Shale is coming, Then kicks away the last chock and giving the cart a running push while jumping into the lead cart.

Though he's not that strong, Shale helps Artemis pushing the cart. As it starts moving and adquires speed, threatening to leave him behind, the shardmind apparently explodes into thousands of crystals, which quickly gather inside the cart and reform as Shale again.

Maybe my appreciation about the safety of warping space so close to those vortexes was, after all, flawed

Lilli nods appreciatively to Artemis as he helps her in to the cart.

"Thanks; that was way too close...oh noooo...I broke a nail..."
