Airole brings up a spare shirt from her navela nd begins to use it to dry off as well as possible. "Well My leathers are soaked this is just great, I guess I have no choice, and I dont see any greys about so it should be safe enogh," to more herself than anyone else. After getting as dry as possible and pulling her hair into a pony tail she imagines her Red Morvalion plate and helmet, along with her sword. when she has gotten a bit more comfortable in this unusual environment she the aproaches near the meager fire after storing her wet things(and hoping that they will dry where ever they go) raise the face plate and smiles at those near the fire. She then leans against a ridge and begins to meditate. (thought bubble).oO(why are we bothering to waste time scouting the place, its not like we have anywhere else to go)
Now somewhat more settled, Vargo thanks Larris for the food, and begins the rite of binding. Knowing the unsettling effect his rites have on those who worship the divine rather than imprison it, he moves behind an outcropping and begins his rites.

Still somewhat disoriented from their utterly strange day, many of the companions huddle around the meager fire, shivering in their various stages of wetness. Larris looks around for something to burn, but finds nothing but bare rock and ice. Wayne fails in his attempt to conjure items from his home from his umbilical, but those that attempt and return or summon items which they had upon their person at the time of their deaths manage to do so without difficulity...
As Vargo and Adauth meditate/concentrate and regain their store of spells for the day, several members of the party, namely Kal, Wato, and Grundy (as well as his creature companions) wander off out of the cave of the mouth and vanish into the snow.
They soon find the going far more difficult than they had imagined, wading through several feet of snow drifts which all lie over well worn mountain boulders and rocks. Eventually, however, they arrive at the bottom of the short, but steep slope and see the structure before them. They soon trudge through the knee-deep snow and arrive at the structure, nearly frozen: ears, noses, and the tips of extremities quickly turning blue. Wato places an ear up to the side of the structure - it feels like ice.
Wato: [sblock]You first hear a deep, steady thrumming sound that does not disipate. However, after listening for a few moments, you can make out, over the chattering of your teeth, two irregular sounds. What seems to be the striking of metal upon metal, or perhaps another hard surface can be discerned - it sounds like an organic sound - a non-automated sound for certain.[/sblock]
Adauth: [sblock]Overhead perspective: You see the structure, which sits roughly in the center of a deep chasm. All around it is a flat, featureless field of snow which ceases sharply into well-rounded walls of stone and ice. Beyond the chasm walls, you see more ridges of rock, punctuated by more dark chasm holes rimmed with snow.
Interior perspective: Within, the structure seems oddly alien with strange panels and devices the likes of which you have never seen. Lights shine wanly in places here and there and you see the signs of slight habitation. The interior of the structure is dominated by a central clear tube that is lined with cables, ropes and pulleys but that also contains twin spiral staircases that seem made of glass. Circular walkways ring this central tube and hallways erupt from this central walkway into various other parts of the structure. Down the chasm, you see what appears to be the far off flicker of torchlight and hear what sounds like a couple of someones banging on something. Occasionally, you will hear a muffled voice like a curse or a muttured oath. Also, a deep, thrumming sound seems omnipresent within the structure.[/sblock]

*Roth waits until his brain has warmed slightly by the fire, calling for his clothes and weapons while he warms his chilled flesh. Once his thoughts have been restored to moving slightly faster than molasses, he ventures a thought or ten.*
"I heard something in my head, alarms and ringing and other things. I think someone knows we're here and I don't think they like it. I wouldn't like it if someone came to my place uninvited, but I don't thing they're very nice because they haven't even given us any tea, and my mother always said you're supposed to offer travelers something to eat when the come in. But I don't think they expected us, and that's bad. Hey, where did those others go?"
*Jalen calls her clothes back to her, and also a curiously engraved iron pot. Placing it above the fire on a tripod, she murmurs a blessing, and (hopefully) the pot filled with a delicious-smelling stew.*
"At least we can get a bit of food while waiting for the others," she says softly.

OOC: Wato is a good ways away from the group in the cave at this moment - there is no chance that he could yell (even at his loudest) and have them hear him. Remember that we are split into two groups at this point - the "scout group" who walked out to the structure and the "base group", who are about to be enjoying hot stew...

The smell of hot, thick stew quickly fills the cave drawing audible grumbles from several stomachs. The stew is rich, thick and brown and is brimming with large hunks of tender beef, buttery potates, perfectly cooked peas, delectable carrots, etc...
Jalen: [sblock]The glowing green "threads" are still here, connecting you to all of the other characters (and them to one another as well), but they are a bit harder to see here.[/sblock]
Roth: [sblock]The alarms are gone, replaced now with static. Occasionally, the static is interrupted with bits of words or phrases, but they are generally unintelligable.[/sblock]
