Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Shayuri]

Inamar concentrates again on her magical senses, peering around at the room, and the goblins, to see if there's any magic still lingering in the air, or on any objects.

 

[Voadam]

Inamar focuses her sight, searching for auras and gets a sudden sharp headache. She can feel the power within her to do this but she pushed something too hard, too fast, and feels a little off kilter with her command of this connection to the magic within and without. She takes a deep breath and focuses her sight again but this power seems beyond her control for the moment.

Weylan wills it and a spike of psionic energy springs from his closed fist, providing illumination. He maneuves his way inside past the corspes across the root and vine floor. As he steps cautiously towards the hole he pauses as the vines start to give a little under his feet. The hole extends beneath them slightly this way and to the north end of the hole and he is not sure it will bear his weight. If he had not proceeded so cautiously he is not sure he would have stopped in time. The ground beneath the hole on the south side seems secure and he maneuvers around that way to peer down over the edge.

Vines creep down the edge into a steep descent of an earthen tunnel and will require careful climbing to descend. The smell of the earth is strong here and deep within the tunnel you can hear a distant chattering, more rats lie below.

 

[Pyrex]

"The crow obviously expects us to find what we're looking for in here, so it looks like down we go."

 

[Voidrazor]

Seeing Weylan's perilous progress around the hole NR4ZN says, "My lords, would it be permissible to break down part of the south wall of the hut? Normally I would not ask such a thing. But, the vines near the entrance will not bear my weight."

 

[Pyrex]

Weylan warily looks around at the already damaged hut, "Can you do so without causing the whole structure to collapse? It's already in poor shape."

 

[Voidrazor]

"I cannot be certain of that Lord Weylan. If you prefer, I will enter through the front, with the understanding that I'll simply fall to the tunnel floor."

 

[Voadam]

NR4ZN enters and is able to keep his footing by staying to the South side of the open aired living plant structure. It is clear that the vines over the north end of the hole would not hold his weight and he might even cause a collapse of some of the earth there if he strayed over in that direction. The illumination provided by Weylan's mindblade is sufficient for the warzoder's damaged optic systems to see by and he too detects the sound of numerous rodents below. The vines down the hole do not look strong enough to bear the weight of the warzoder should he use them as support ropes to climb down, though they are conveniently placed for lighter humanoid type beings.

 

[Voadam]

The crow sits atop the edge of the hole at the center of the building's roof, looking down upon you as you wander in.

 

[Voidrazor]

OOC: Can we tell how deep the hole is? I'm thinking NR4ZN will have to jump down.
