Hailey Navarre

Hailey watched the progress for a moment, “Huh, that sure is slow. But for the gear alone it might be worth it. Can you conjure up water, Aja? That way you can summon it, toss it and let the ray of frost chill it in the air as it falls. It coudl speed it up.”

She pointed past the body, “There is also another tunnel down there. Maybe we can go around from the other side and then you would not need to get rid of as much of the mold. You keep at it, and I will go take a look and report back.”

Hailey moved back past the others to the other tunnel and looked around the bend.

From Zeta's and Hailey's suggestions Aja begins creating water with one of her prepared orisons and Olrich uses his newly prepared cantrip to destroy the brown dust. Olrich now thinks that it will only take about 15 minutes to clear enough so that it is safe enough to get down to the body. If they continue for an additional 15 minute they could eradicate the dust all together.

As Hailey moves away Aja also casts a light spell to allow the two to continue their effort of killing the dust. Hailey returns back to the intersection and down the untraveled path. As she looks around the curve she sees into another cavern is there. This one appears to be much larger with another ledge. Beyond the ledge she sees the top of a hut that appears to be partly made of metal. Hides and some sort of fibrous plant matter makeup the rest of what she can see of the hut. She detects the slightest hint of scraping. It is as if someone were trying to move quietly but accidently scraped something.

CURRENT MAP

Note: The ceiling height of passageways has averaged about seven feet while rising to ten feet in caverns. The exception was the dust cavern which is almost 20 feet at its highest. This last cavern that Hailey has found appears to be much higher.

Hailey Navarre

Hailey crept a little farther along about 5 more feet only; knowing full well the light from her sunrod was giving her away. But she was still using the tunnel’s bend to provide some cover. The hut and the slight noise was an indication of something alive, and her first thought was that it could be the large frog’s owner.

[sblock=OOC]Updated Map- If nothing seen, then move another square after that.

"Your plan appears to be achieving excellent results," notes the arcanist to Zeta. "I believe about fifteen minutes of my casting the same spell over and over and over and over... well, after that we should be able to get to the body for recovery and identification. Double that time and we can probably be rid of this mould altogether, unless of course you were all being serious with your enterprising suggestions."

 

[Guest 11456]

Aja and Olrich continue to work in tandem to clear a path to the body. Meanwhile, Hailey moves as quietly as possible forward and peers into the unknown. Other then a better view of the hut nothing much is seen. So she moves forward a bit more as before. She now sees that there is at least two huts and the cavern is proving to be vast. But still no real signs of life.

Vandor

Vandor watched for a few minutes while the others worked to clear the mold. Hailey had wandered off by herself. He thought that was a foolish thing to do but as he had observed in the short time he had known her, she was a very headstrong young woman.

"I'm going back here to keep an eye on the passage. We don't need anyone sneaking up behind us.".

Crossbow at the ready, Vandor moved ten feet back to be able to watch the tunnels and more importantly, watch Hiley without her thinking he was watching her.

Hailey Navarre

Hailey stepped back from large chamber. She had accomplished a quick look while the others were busy with the mold, but she was exposed by herself. She had thought others might come with, but none had… Then she spotted Vandor.

She whispered, “There is a big chamber ahead. I heard something, but I don’t see anything. See if Zeta and Twist want to come take a peek with me.”

The gunslinger moved back down the tunnel, dropping to her hands and knees before reaching the ledge. She elbow crawled the last 5 feet onto the ledge.

Hailey now has a better view of the cavern. It appears that there are at least four of the strange huts made of metal, hides, and some sort of fibrous plant matter. To the south of these huts yawns a dark pit. The ceiling looks to be nearly 30 feet at its highest. The ledge she is on slopes down to the cave floor ten feet below. Scrambling down the ledge requires a successful DC 10 Climb check.

Meanwhile Aja and Olrich continue to work on the mold while Twist and Zeta watch. Vandor has moved back to the intersection to watch both Hailey and the group.

Note: Your sunrod provides 30 feet of good light and 30 more feet of dim light. I chose to split the difference as far as the map and showed out to a distance of about 45 feet.

Vandor

Vandor nodded in reply to Hailey and watched her go back towards the cavern. Once he was satisfied that thing was jumping out to kill her, he returned to the rest of the group.

"Twist, Hailey found a cavern with a couple of huts. She suggested you and Zeta come take a look."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

[section]Twist's eyes widened with excitement. He elbowed Zeta, "C'mon! Let's go spelunking to see what Hailey's found." Twist followed Vandor, who lead the way and pointed down a side tunnel. The ratling could only just make out Hailey from where she stood at the ledge overlooking the huts. He loped forward and nudged past Hailey to join her at the overlook.

When he saw the huts, Twist pressed himself against the rock wall and hunkered down, trying to hide from view. A small hiss of displeasure escaped his teeth.[/section]
