Down the Crack Your chosen path zigzags through the rock and all are aware that you are descending, as each yard of progress seems to drop by a foot or so. At times, even Annit is able to be at eye level with Jeovanna up at the front. A short time into Dain’s chosen crevice, the ground begins...

Watch your Step Great creatures from the deep, harpies in flight, falls down an enormous makeshift staircase; Annit's team seemed to have been stained with pessimism. Not really a surprise having encountered armored constructs, walking bones and crackling baby demons already. If they didn't...

Watch Your Step The sorcerer’s lights frolic about, covering a great distance and providing much needed extra visibility to your survey. It's a dizzying drop, Metea would gaze upon. The base of the void is right at the edge of a Tiefling’s aptitude for seeking within darkness. Occasionally it...

Annit Young Annit’s eyes widen as the empty void becomes visible ahead. At last, some space, a reminder of the world beyond these walls where a sea churns and sunlight burns. The cause of this expanse is a mystery to her. Father never mentioned the possibility of such an environment...

< Lovely work everyone! Here ends Chapter 3. Head on over to Chapter 4! http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?631841-The-Kalarian-Precipice-Chapter-Four&p=7392475#post7392475 >

The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four Some time ago... For the few who dared continue to delve and dig, competition was fierce. With no legal needs to draw lines and no tenements written to council scrolls, the operations had quickly become unstable and anarchistic. Securing sites deep within...

Small Discoveries At some point during his prayerful rest, some of the priest's questions are answered in a loose and roundabout way. Suru’s justice combined with Metea's subconscious stimulation of the little man has clearly helped. A tiny bit less pale, a loosening of the suffering expression...

Small Discoveries: Otiroth Such a sweet little thing, Otiroth’s gem. Somewhere, back in your bloodline a Dragon’s blood was mingled with some unknown ancestor, bringing with it both power and a delicate connection to treasures of the past. It is this deep innermost part of yourself which...

Small Discoveries: Metea Handling the spyglass further, Metea remembers further contents of the recent rest’s dream-state. A lone human man takes slow delirious steps under a burning sun, his skin reddened and dry from drenching heat, and footsteps within endless sand dunes trail behind him...

Small Discoveries The remainder of the group’s attempt to rest passes uneventfully, although they awake to a rather grim scene. Bat carcasses litter the floor, in fact one could be forgiven for thinking the previous occupants of the space were better versed on the virtues of tidiness. Luckily...

A Hatred of Bats Finally, Annit stirs and leaps to her feet, immediately unsheathing a dagger and rushing over to Carthum. "What!" Dead bats lie all over the floor, such a mess. Clearly there were many more just moments ago! She moves beside the barbarian and strikes at them, managing to down...

Round 3 Jeovanna: 22 Otiroth: 18 (-4hp) Carthum: 18 (-4hp) Annit: 15 Bat swarm: 13 (-19hp) Metea: 6 Dain: ? Now that, was effective! Metea's torturing energy crackles and rebounds through the horde of annoying beasties, many of their membership dropping dead in the process. Numbers reduced, the...

A Hatred of Bats The barbarian's direct approach seems to work, though less fall pulverized to the ground than anticipated. Resistant buggers! They move so fast. Carthum's attempt at a shield bash leaves a few batty remains stuck to it, which will probably require scraping off later. Sadly, he...

A Hatred of Bats Now this, is a moving Target if ever there was one. Jeovanna's sword swings into the dark winged army, but almost like reflex they scatter, leaving her to only carve thin air. Then they reconverge, bursting in, but not without fatalities. Otiroth's cone of powerful heated...

A Hatred of Bats The awful clicking and screeching intensifies! Seconds later a large mass of fluttering cave-dwellers begins to spew from the crevice's raggard jaw, slowed only by the narrowness of the shaft. The swarm is chaos. You, it seems, are not welcome here. <Jeovanna and Otiroth roll...

Hour Three A lady of the wilderness, Jeovanna has heard familiar sounds before. Up in trees nestled against rivers. Dark shapes soaring in lonely skies. Some, even couldn't resist the alure of orchard farmer's easily nibbled fruit. The humble bat. But this sounded like way more than one. So...

Hour Three Guard duty schedule: 1 - Otiroth & Metea 2 - Annit & Carthum 3 - Jeovanna 4 - Otiroth 5 - Annit & Carthum 6 - Jeovanna 7 - Metea 8 - Dain The priest and rogue's shift goes quietly while their companions do their best to snooze, study or simply rest their weary bodies. Not an easy...

Hour One The first hour of this quiet time passes peacefully for those on watch duty. Otiroth and Metea hopefully keeping an eye upon the area’s potential entry points. Thinking upon the red stone and the glass disc. Listening out for the sounds of oncoming threat. A bit of attention paid to...

Dreams of a Long Slumber Darkness has stolen from you all sense of passing time, ever since your first anxious steps into the old mines. Weariness is clutching onto you, a result of both physical exertion and keeping those sharp minds honed. This is no place to proceed in a wounded slumberous...

Hunting (Dain, Jeovanna, Otiroth) Butchery! Where once one tiny horror stood, now there are two… separate pieces. Dain’s final angry swing has torn it clean in two. The meat quivers one last time, and is then still. The battle done, a quiet claustrophobia returns to those within the crevice’s...
