[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7405982, member: 6799460"] [b]Triple Fork[/b] Annit has a brave face on, and a very convincing one as she moves to the front. What to worry about? She is among the youthful and talented! Some skilled in magic that grows stronger with each step forwards, and others who have proven excellent at dissecting foes with simple edged steel. A few rats, spiders and bats, the remote possibility of illegal miners or bandits. That’s what she’d expected. Instead they’d witnessed undead, fey, demons and constructs. So in truth, beneath the pretty and calm exterior, Annit was extremely concerned. She had come to both like and respect her colleagues. If long-lasting harm should come to any of them, such guilt would be unthinkable. Otiroth’s recent close call, that had been a real eye opener. Nothing down here was to be taken for granted, or approached with overconfidence. Dain by her side, and smiling to him, they moved forwards with Carthum's light-imbibed stone. Heat and the bitter smell of burning coals gains intensity with each step, and that is all they appear to be to Otiroth’s well-tuned nose. In the last working moments of Carthum’s magical detection, the priest notes a strong presence of magic somewhere near… abjuration, but also something unaligned to particular school, yet so far, out of sight. Zig-zags like the great incisors of some mammoth black stone beast are trod, until dim light greets the party at a nearing bend. To the left, a ten foot wide hole in the wall comes into view. Ahead, the light reflects off something not-quite-shiny, not-quite-solid. A gelatinous form lies on their path some twenty feet off, like the tail of some great black pre-skinned eel.
