Charlotte, Ellie, & Rallyn
Whatever faint noise Rallyn heard before isn't there now. The wooded copse near the grove is dead silent.
The three stand near the edge of a well-traveled path that leads from the main campus to the grove. It's similar to a wide deer path, more than a man-made road, although it is obvious the shrubbery has been tended neatly.

Sildarin
Sh'ar listens to Sildarin's questions stoicly.
"I have been in these tunnels for far longer than I originally expected. To help avoid aging and the side effects, I have been under the effect of a powerful psionic ability. While it greatly enhances my lifespan, while I am using the power my senses are dulled quite a bit.
"It's possible some very stealthy man snuck by while I was in this state of suspension. A normal man I would probably have seen."

"It's quiet on this path, you could almost forget what's happening. Almost." Continuing on, Ellie will move down the path.
OOC ---> Missed the call for the checks above, I posted them, but they wouldn't have done any good anyway. The dice are against me recently.

Now what should I do? Go back? No, we need to find a way out of here. Besides, there are people I can call friends up there. If I don't come back, they will surely wait for me. I have to trust them. And show courage."
Victor leaves the rope and let himself slide down the tunnel, protecting the lantern.

Victor
Victor's journey is swift and other than the pounding in his chest, painless.
The tunnel shoots down rapidly, and is as slippery as initially he feared. As soon as Victor releases the rope there's nothing holding him back and he races downward, almost as fast as he could if he fell.
The descent isn't completely uncontrolled. For some reason, Victor doesn't tumble out of control. The lantern stays lit somehow, and it shows a rapidly approaching level area ahead, about a hundred feet past where the rope ended.
Just as he is convinced he is about to die from the impact, there's a soft wafting of air and Victor lands as easily as a feather falling.
He is standing on a square dais, about ten feet across, with the tunnel open above him. Heading directly northward is what can only be described as another "imperial road." save this one is underground inside a huge cavern.
The exact extent of the cavern is more than his keen eyesight can pick out. The entrance Victor came through is against a natural stone wall on the southern edge of the cavern.

Ellie
Ellie moves down the path, oblivious to the dangers spotted by her companions.
The melting snow of the grove has started to refreeze and it's becoming apparent that winter is in Drell fiercely now. Whatever initially melted the snow isn't apparent, but the patches are clearly round.

"Well, at least I made it to the end. Now what have I got here?"
The musician looks around, searching for runes, ancient inscription or anything that could explain who built this cavern and why, truly impressed by the dwarven craft he sees.
(Search check 20 (!!!) + 2 = 22 Bardic knowledge check 6+7=13)
He looks also if whoever built the road thought about a way to light it, and if he can't find anything he lights a candle and leave in on the dais.
Then he walks along the road, looking for a passage to go upstairs, possibly.
[OOC: Zhure, I can go on alone, but maybe the others feel like they're missing the fun. I don't know what it's best to do, so I'm acting totally IC.]

"Understandable..."
So he dozed off and blames it on some power? Whoppee!
Not now! Can't you keep your snappy comments to yourself for once?
I could, but I don't want to.
Could you at least give some constructive criticism then?
I could, but I'm not sure if I want to.
Off with it, were stuck in this cave until the others come back or we solve a great mystery conserning this place. And the sooner we get out, the sooner you will see some females.
That's hitting under the belt!
Unfortunate but required when dealing with you.
Then ask him about the other tunnel and then go see if the newcomers are alright.
Thank you.
"Sh'ar, where does that other tunnel lead? We discovered some magic there, but that's about all we know."
