[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 627424, member: 799"] You stand atop of the mine shaft and peer down into a big black, black, black hole... You shrug for a second and one by one you descend. Ross makes it down to the bottom, so does James and Ray slips on the last few meters and plummets down on his back after a short fall. (2 damage to Ray, hp and relevant sanity loss listed at bottom of post.) When you step out of the elevator shaft at the bottom of the mine, all safe and sound as far as things go, you are immersed in darkness so complete it is more then a lack of light. It is dense and seeps into your skins; you feel like you are inhaling darkness with every breath you take. When you light your flashlights and nightsticks, the darkness presses closely in on the three of you, reducing the lights’ effective range to a few feet. The temperature here is well below freezing, and your bones ache with a cold that even penetrates your thick winter clothing. You all peer around in the few feet of light you have and you set off into the darkness, soon you three are lost in this underground maze of eternal darkness. After a few minutes you begin to shiver uncontrollably and your teeth begin to chatter. As you venture further into the darkness under these maddening conditions at the bottom of the mine a bizarre stench fills the tunnel. Rotting eggs soaked in a heavy musk, like the inside of some animal. [Ross 3 subdual damage from cold, James 6 subdual damage from cold, Ray 1 subdual damage from cold. Ross loses 2 sanity, James loses 2 Sanity, Ray loses 2 sanity] About who knows how many yards down in this dark maze of a mine tunnel, in the real heart of the darkness, you stumble upon two bodies, decomposed to little more then skeletons in the hundred years they have laid here beneath the rock. One of the skeletons is wearing the faded and rotted remnants of a dress. Around the corpse’s neck is a gold chain with a locket on it. The other body has little more flesh on its dusty bones, suggesting that it hasn’t been here as long as the other body but it has little clothing left as well. Near the right hand of the second body is a metal disc, two feet in diameter and covered in arcane runes and symbols. There are four oddly shaped holes through the object. [You have absolutely no idea how much time has past and how it is passing around you, distance and time our out of your grasp, you have only about 4 feet of light around you and the stench and dark are ever pressing in on you...] [Check up: Hitpoints: Ray 24 hp with 1 subdual dmg Ross 27 hp with 3 subdual dmg James 26 hp with 6 subdual dmg Sanity points lost within relevant time lap Ray 2 Ross 2 James 2 You won't run through all of your sanity points and be back at full before your next adventure so not relevant to list hte total, just the ammount lost within a small piece of time could effect your mind and inflict insanity and madness.
