Fallen Angel [IC]

[Fanog]

Thomas, still kneeling at the ogre-bug corpses, hold up a hand as if to stall the others. He keeps his voice down, not wanting it to carry too far into the cave. "Wait. I think we should take a bit of time to get to know everything we can about these creatures. It might give us some essential information..."

[OoC: Repeating my previous action. It seemed like Erekose missed it.]

((OOC: dont have much time at the moment, wanted to appologize for the frequency of updates, I have had trouble accessing the site lately. I will post my next post later today when I have more time. ))

Thomas finishes searching the bug-ogres and comes up with their two huge longspears (easily 25 feet long) and two gems a piece (4 total). The gems are small and aquamarine in colour. He stands ready for the others who are impatiently waiting at the first tunnel.

Syfis continues around the corner and down the hall a short ways to investigate the opening heading south again. That particular passage looks like it continues on a ways, though only a short way down the passage on the right is another opening.

Unless he'd be the only person remaining, Michael stays put, knowing his armor is a dead giveaway of his approach.

Syfis heads down the hallway and into the right opening, mantaining her position to be as close as to the roof of the area as possible, only going down the light up the surroundings if she needs to.

With a curious frown, Thomas picks up the four gems. He slings his bow over his shoulder and walks over to Michael. Seems he's planning to stay here, at least. Syfis hasn't been away that long, I think we'd better wait for a moment. Her plan seemed reasonably safe, let's just hope we'll hear from her soon...

The young Thomas looks a bit worried as he shows the four blueish gems to the tall warrior. "Hmm, didn't find as much as I'd hoped. Each of 'em had two gems. I'm thinking it might be some kind of payment - don't you think? Why else would they carry the same kind of gems? - Of course, they might just have found them in the cave or somehwere else, and divided them equally among themselves. It really doesn't give us any clues..."

With a small sigh, he puts the gems into his belt pouch. He looks peers into the cave where Syfis went only moments ago and takes his bow to hand again.

The opening to the right opens into a smaller chamber as equally rough hewn as the rest of the complex. Two of the ogre-bugs are crouched inside and appear to be resting. Seeing the glowing mist over head they stand up quizzically and stare at it. Other than the bugs there is nothing of interesting in the room. Before turning to the right and into the chamber the hallway continued south.

Back in the cave entrance everyone else waits patiently for Syfis. Sounds of rain can be heard pounding the ground outside, though the lightning appears to have stopped. The rain water runs down the muddy entrance slope into the large cavern you are in before draining away into the soft ground.

Syfis moves out of the room, floating quickly away from the ogres and continuing back down the hallway.

 

[Erekose13]

Moving quickly back out the way you came from and down the hall you find that it turns to the left (east) and travels a short ways. Looking back before you turn the corner you see that the bug-ogres have gotten up and are following you. You can quickly out distance them if you continue, however they can see that you have moved in this direction. Once around the corner you come to a junction in the hallways. A corridor passes perpendicular to the one you are travelling down presenting you with four options (left, straight, right, turn back). Behind you you can hear the ogres heading in your direction thought they are still a ways behind you (and of course have no idea what you are).

[Someone]

Akaros notices the sudden cold in his feet: the running water that is turning the dirt into mud and soaking his boots. He puts nervously the greatsword over his shoulder; the idea of drowning in a flooded cavern is more than enough to make a cleric of fire nervous.
