Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Festy_Dog]

Selim carefully looks at the hallway floor in the vicinity of the secret door, looking for tracks in the dust which may indicate the direction they should take if the suspect set foot in this hallway.

[ooc: Merry Christmas all! ]

 

[Raylis]

Elysia frowns "It doesn't look like anyone has been down here...what's that?" She starts down the left, dagger at the ready.

 

[stonegod]

Laura raises her eyebrow at the girl, but says nothing for now.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim stops analysing the floor and follows Elysia.

"I am far from deaf or blind, but these consistant instances of me failing to detect what others do is beginning to trouble me," the soldier admits as he follows his acquaintance.

 

[Raylis]

"Women's intuition, don't feel bad" Elysia says shooting a grin back at the boy.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Following the path to the left, they eventually reach a gaping hole in the floor, leading down into the darkness below.*

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim kneels down beside the hole, holding the lantern over it to get a better look at how deep it is and what lies at the bottom.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The hole extends downards quite a ways, perhaps twenty or thirty feet into what appears to be a sub-basement of some sorts, filled with empty barred cells.*

 

[Festy_Dog]

"You both seem to have better hearing than I. Any suggestion on what path we should follow?" Selim asks.

 

[Raylis]

Elysia looks down the hole, chewing her lip, "One of use could climb down there and see if there's anything but cells down there."
