As the light dances across the walls the shadows appear to leap and dart before your eyes. The passageway splits, offering a left turn or a route straight ahead. As you stand to take stock of the situation, Mal starts to sniff the floor with a sense of urgency, his attention absorbed.The dog starts to snuffle forward, nose pressed to the ground. He has clearly caught a scent of Ameiko. He starts moving to the left passage, shuffling along, intent on his task. As you warily follow him you start to hear the faintest of noises from ahead. The muffled whistling of a man, coming at you from far away, or behind a wall.The left passage itself takes a right angle, opening up into a new passage. Before are three visible doors. Two spaced out along the left hand wall of this 35 foot passage (that appears to turn right again at the end), and one straight ahead on the far wall where it turns to the right. You can feel the faintest of drafts emanating from the first door on the left, and the even fainter hint of sea air.The second door appears to be the source of the whistling. Suddenly it stops.Mal moves silently ahead, his feet padding with great care as he follows the scent. He takes the briefest turn towards each door before sniffing on a few feet past the second door. He stops, his body rigid, pointing ahead with the entirety of his body. Ameiko lies in the room at the end of the passage.But ... something awaits in the second room to the left. Silence is required, so first to post gets to chose what you do ..........OOC: I will be flying to New York early Wednesday morning, so other than perhaps a post tonight, there will be no update from me until Saturday. See the OOC thread for info.</blockquote>
