Into the Depths

Gavril moves to the door, inserting the fingers of one hand through the crack . . .

As the door swings open , a breath of bitterly cold, wet air skirls through into the bottom of the shaft. The rosemary scented flame of the lantern illuminates a long, straight hall leading off to the north. The hallway is 10 feet wide, and the ceilings are a little shy of 10 feet high. The hallway extends beyond the circle of light spread by the lantern. Every surface north of the door glistens, as though covered with a film of something slightly damp.

Cerallos

Cerallos lowers his hood and draws his quarterstaff and awaits his turn to fall in line to proceed through the door.

"Nice thinking about the undoing the ropes Master Skath," Cerallos whispers.

Cerallos

"This looks nothing like a gold digging site to me. I've got a bad feeling about this."

Skath

Cerallos lowers his hood and draws his quarterstaff and awaits his turn to fall in line to proceed through the door.

"Nice thinking about the undoing the ropes Master Skath," Cerallos whispers.

"I don't know that it will help with Diddious still there, if anyone happens on him they will know there are others somewhere as the animals seem to suggest more than one, but nonetheless they will have to explore all the holes as we did. To be honest, I am a little concerned with him up there by himself. I hope the snake we killed was the only one."
As Skath speaks to Cerallos, we will take a seat on his shoulder.

Gavril

"I have to agree, but I did not think the old fellow could make the climb down." Gesturing ahead he adds, "besides I think whatever trouble is in the area will be through yon portal."

Cerallos

"No, I don't think there's any question that it was best for him to stay there." Cerallos barely turns his head to Skath on his shoulder, "I just can't get over this feeling of this tunnel, very strange." Continuing, "But then all of the events we've seen have been strange."

Béar continues, on his guard, down the tunnel with the rest of the group.

OOC:

Sorry, I didn't realize anyone had actually stepped into the tunnel. I'll need a marching order - you can fit two abreast if you so desire. Assuming Béar is first in . . .

IC:

The large, brutish looking warrior leads the way into the tunnel, his bulk eclipsing the light from the lantern as he passes in front. As soon as he sets feet past the door, he begins to have trouble keeping them under him. He realizes, somewhat belatedly, that everything shimmers in the lantern light because it is all covered with a sheet of ice - floor, walls, and ceiling.

Béar

Béar will relay what he knows to the rest of the party.
"Very interesting."

Cerallos

OOC: So Mike is it notably colder past the door or is the ice just a mystical kind of thing, like Athelstan's ice bombs?
