Into the Depths

It's definitely colder past the door - far colder than any of the party has ever experienced, unless they've traveled very far up into the mountains. Temperature in here hovers just below freezing. It's also very humid and damp.

OOC:

Remember, the island the group lives on, which constitutes the entire world as they know it, is very warm - lows in the mid-fifties in the winter, highs well into the hundreds in the summer. All the mountains but one are timbered right up to their peaks due to the temperature and the rainfall (anywhere else many of them would be high enough to extend above the timberline.

Cerallos

A chill goes over Cerallos both from the cold and the unnatural way that this passage is iced over.
"What in heavens have we stumbled upon on down here? Master Skath, would you like to use my hood for a blanket my friend? This is unbelievable."

Gavril

"Guess it just goes to show, 'be careful what you wish for'. We all wanted to get out of the heat, we'll it ain't hot in there. To think I was worried about getting overheated in my armor." He untucks his duelists' gloves from his belt and slips them on, though the light kidskin offers little warmth. "No use standing around here until our feet freeze to the floor. Lets see what's down here. At least it is too cold for snakes in there." He considers a moment, "if we start to suffer from the cold I'll have Diddious break out my wardrobe. We should be able to find some extra layers for most everyone, but Skate, of course. Perhaps we can make a warm cloak from a face towel?" Pulling a flask and taking a healty swig he holds it out to the others, "a little brandy to warm your insides gentlemen?"

"A face towel?" Skath will buzz up to Gavril's hat, pluck the feather and use it as a sled and begin sliding down the floor.

Béar

Taking a generous swig from the brandy flask, Béar spots Skath acting-a-fool with a big feather.

"Ha Ha!"

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Laughing at the little fey's antics, Gavril snorts, "A most expedious means of transport."

 

[arkansasdave]

Béar

OOC: I'm assuming that Skath's antics do not get us all killed. If so, Béar will wait for him to get the tom-foolery out of his system.

Into the Depths

The intrepid party makes it's way down the long, rimey corridor. Footing is treacherous enough to give several of the group serious worries about fighting or doing anything tricksey. The diminutive faeborn is having a blast, riding on the feather and using his mysterious, shadowy 'wings' for propulsion. However, he soon realizes that he'll far outstrip his peers (due to their slow, careful progress) if he's not wary.

Into the Depths

The passage is 13 feet wide and about 6 1/2 feet high, with rough walls and ceiling. As the party makes their way down, it is eventually revealed that this hall extends about 60 feet before ending in 6 shallow flint steps. The steps descend about 5 feet into a large chamber - from the party's position at the end of the hallway the lantern light only reveals that the space opens up, and the space in a small radius past the stairs.

The sound of dripping water echoes through the chamber, though the temperature has definitely dropped even more - now well below freezing. White tendrils of condensation drift and twirl between stalagmites and stair-stepped risers of dark stone.

OOC: I'll try to get a map up this afternoon or this evening so you can get a better mental picture.

Cerallos

OOC: Is the entire surface of the chamber iced over too? And where is the water dripping from? Any light source or anything from anywhere besides our lantern?
