(YBA) Cait Sith in the Passage of Death (Pt. 2)

[tleilaxu]

Cait makes his way out of the caves without a problem. He sees no more centipede creatures on his way out. Cait stands underneath the ridge of rock in the thin passage....

 

[Wicht]

Turning to the east Cait Sith continues on his way.

 

[tleilaxu]

As Cait leaves the this pass, he enters a wasteland. He can see a ring of mountains extending outward from either direction like a caldera. In front, Cait sees sand whipping around. It is difficult to see far in any particular direction. The sand is ruddy in color. Cait notices that his sores have begun to heal and the itching gone away, but the palm of his hand where he grasped the sword is still blackened.

Cait continues east for a few hours until he is in the midst of a dust storm. In the distance he hears a call, though he can't hear what the voice is saying...

 

[Wicht]

"Any direction is good when one does not know where one is going," says Cait Sith and he heads towards the voice, shielding his eyes in an attempt to see better.

 

[tleilaxu]

In the distance Cait can see a small, childlike figure. It is crying and yelling for help

 

[Wicht]

Cait Sith hurries forward, straining to see what is wrong with the child.

 

[tleilaxu]

How close do you approach?

 

[Wicht]

just close enough to tell what exactly is happening, after which Cait will reevaluate the speed and direction in which he wants to move.

 

[tleilaxu]

When Cait gets abou 20 feet away, he can see that there is a little girl sinking slowly into the sand...

 

[Wicht]

"Rope, rope, I knew I should have brought rope," worries Cait Sith as he watches the girl.

"Don't worry," he calls out in what he hopes is a reassuring voice, looking desperately around for some way to help.

Then he has an idea. He mutters his words of magic and tries his shove spell on the girl, trying to aim so as to propel her backwards and not further down.

Shove!
