[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7232550, member: 6855223"] [b]Day 112: Investigating the Mine[/b] [gm]The construction is simple. Natural stones were roughly squared and stacked. Each individual piece is heavy enough to stay in place so that mortar, which would be difficult to manufacture with the given soil, was not used. The wooden beams are fitted into slots. Part of each structure is carved into the rock face. The part that is not is roofed with a sort of thatch. The thatch is mostly useless after such length of unattended time.[/gm] [gm]The mine, at this point, is wide enough to walk 2 abreast.[/gm] [B]Once inside the mine, Sheldon creates an area of light around himself[/B]. "[COLOR=#008000]I will stand in the middle of the group. I will need to concentrate to move the illumination with use. I will let you know when I am tiring. The others of you will need to divine for metal or stone[/COLOR]." [gm]Sensing for metals produces trivial results for iron. Anything usable has been mined. Some of the offshoots indicate chromium, molybdenum, and titanium, but everything is faint.[/gm] [gm]The mine is enormous. There are offshoots and branches in all directions, most of which are crawl spaces. The main path is obvious. It is decided, for the time being at least while others wait outside, that the smaller paths be ignored. About 50 paces into the mountain, the group comes upon a long dead corpse. It is practically mummified. It is face down with its head pointed toward the mouth. Its clothing has mostly deteriorated away, a miners pick is still grasped in its extended right hand, a kind of torch in its left. All indications are that this person fell forward and died of no apparent injury. The miner's pick is perfectly functional and appears to be of quality manufacture. Searching the immediate area more thoroughly, undisturbed tracks indicate that this male Mhytre was struggling to walk for some distance before collapsing. Traveling farther in the main path descends markedly. It can be seen up ahead that there is a carved bore taking the mine directly down deeper. Before the party can continue, Turtle pushes to the front, runs ahead a few step then turns to face the group, growling. Turtle rubs his nose a few times, staggers, then falls over playing dead. He repeats the entire process. It seems fairly obvious what he is doing. Bolo clarifies that Turtle's sense of smell is much greater than their own. Whatever he is smelling it will prove fatal and he does not wish us to continue forward.[/gm] [/QUOTE]
