Haggerty proceeds on his own as Danmor and Arim reenter the back room of the building.  Arim kindles a sunrod to light the way.Landing upon his shoulder, Arthael feels urgency in the demeanor of Crow.  A sense that he may be needed back at the warehouse turns him on his heels and he rejoins the group.  On his way he passes Haggerty who explains the others have returned to the hole but that he is still heading to the Chandler's to check out what might be happening on that front.Passing through the gate to enter Upper Jalston, Haggerty takes a quick left to head toward the Chubby Chandler's shop.  Glancing to his left, he gages that he must be directly southwest of the hidden tunnel entrance in the warehouse.  Of course, he can't see the warehouse because it is beyond the Bazaar Overseer's building and the wall that surrounds Upper Jalston, but he feels confident he is on a line with the tunnel if it were to extend in a relatively straight direction.  In fact, in his mid, he'd be a little over one hundred feet along its length at this point.  Turning to look along it, should it be longer and still straight, Haggerty sees that the Bazaar is now in the full swing of mid-morning business.  "Better the devil you know," old Slort used to say to him.  By this he meant that while it was common knowledge among the town watch that local business people were sometimes disreputable, the folks that made up the community of the Bazaar were "outsiders" and not to be trusted.Back inside the warehouse, Danmor takes in the aroma of the damp clay mixed with sand and sea water.  Having no experience with underground structures of any kind, he just feels happy that the stench of sewage isn't included in the blend of smells.Arim suggests a plan regarding Crow as Arthael walks back into their midst.  Without waiting for an answer to his suggestion, he bends down to enter the tunnel.  He sees that the tunnel goes for thirty feet and continues.(OODM: Trying to keep two separate groups in synch can be tough.  Best to post your intentions and allow me to let you know how far you get.  At this point, Haggerty is as far as in front of the Overseer's place, Arim is in the Tunnel Entrance while Danmor and Arthael are now both standing over the hole that is the tunnel entrance.  I know that Haggerty was planning on going to the Chandler's place, but he may have other thoughts based on spotting the general direction of the tunnel.  I know Arim is planning on just scurrying along the tunnel, but he also made a sugestion to Arthael that requires attention before he can just crawl ahead of the others because I don't know if the Crow is going along, or Danmor, or Arthael so I don't know if I am describing the three of you in the tunnel of just Arim or some other combination.  Danmor suggested that he might be needed in the tunnel but never stated that he explicitedly plans to follow Arim nor whether he plans to follow immediately or with some space between.  Arthael is now back at the tunnel, said he doesn't want to go in the tunnel without a light source, but hasn't actually said he intends to go into the tunnel, in what order, or with what timing.  Choices, intentions, "marching order", intended tactics while in the tunnel,  plans for other eventualities?, etc., please.  If/then statements are a good way to handle your posts.  "If I see a Gelatinous Cube in the tunnel, I will attempt to back out.  If someone is in my way as I back out, I will try to club them to death/unconciousness and crawl over their lifeless form to safety.  If I wet my pants again, I will blame it on the Crow.  Ignoring all else, I plan to run to the edge of the cliff and dive to the bottom of the chasm..."  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Intentions and actions but not results or outcomes, please.  The more you give me to work with, the less I have to stop when coming to a point where a decision needs to be made.)</blockquote>
