"Hmm, very interesting. It would appear that this snail's carapace radiates abjuration magic quite strongly. Maybe you are correct I think we should take a little bit with us to run a few experiments on. Perhaps it is useful in a magic ritual of some sort." Phaern says, passing on his discovery.

*Kelthet, the tiny little snail crawls out of the slime pool and begins to climb onto your boot, and eventually up your pant leg. Its flailing head just barely tickles.*

 

[Erekose13]

Phaern tries to cut away some of the snail's shell to experiment on later. Provided his fire sword is still at hand he will use that, if not then he will just try to break off a loose piece. Once done gathering things he will see how Atlas is doing. If everything is fine he will watch for Leesea and see what she has turned up in the passageways leading out of this cavern.

"I am doing fine, friend. Just a little winded." *Looking at Kelthet he says*"looks like you've been adopted." *Atlas, says with a smile.*

OOC: Sorry! My email notification didn't let me know there was something happening!

*Kelthet peers at the small snail, and then shrugs.* "It seems harmless enough. Maybe I'll keep it - it's probably a better conversationalist than I am." *He peers around, trying to determine what the snail might have eaten. "Incandlis - do you know what sort of food it might need?" *He also does his best to fashion some sort of carrier for the critter, possibly out of a lantern or the like. "It might be good luck to keep it. Or it might try to eat me while it sleeps - we'll have to see." *He lapses back in to silence after fishing out the snail, and examines the shell as well.* OOC: I don't suppose the Sight is useful here, eh?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Right now the little snail is not particularly powerful, according to the Sight. Indacalis says that one so small probably only eats fungus and mushrooms, but as it gets larger it will need meat. In an empty lantern you can put in a layer of slime and the snail seems content with this. Add a little water and food every day and it should be all right.*

Leesea returns to the others once she is satisfied with her exploration.

"Well," she says, "there are a lot of exits and passages around here. I checked out a few of them. Some neat rock formations, a colony of bats, some large mushrooms, and a short way past that there is a fast moving but shallow stream. I suppose if there are bats this far in, there is probably an exit to the surface for them. Didn't see it, though. Nothing looked too threatening."

"You know I had a thought. I know wonder of wonders right? I bet the mother was protecting her young. I do wonder at there only being the one though. Also why did she single me out?" Atlas asks in puzzlement.

 

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet shrugs.* "It almost seemed she was after the Mule. Or the one who thinks like one." *He grins at his weak joke.* "You entered her territory, perhaps? It was only when you approached that she attacked."

 

[Erekose13]

*Flying over as Leesea returns, Phaern asks, "There sure appear to be a lot of different passages down here. I don't think we are ment to follow them all. Did the red caverns continue? I think the next colour we are supposed to follow is orange. Were there any orange caverns yet? As long as nothing looked threatening I guess we should wait a bit till Atlas is feeling himself again then head down where ever the red caverns lead."

*Remembering his journal, Phaern sits down for the rest of the hour to record the days events. He wants to keep everything in there, all the memories and all the battles. He even tries his hand at drawing Kelthet with the baby snail in his hand. It doesnt look much like him, but the snail is cute.*
