Act 2, Scene 3: Twisting Paths

[TristenC]

Katten swaps to her hand axe and begins to climb down. The passage is damp and uneven, but plenty of handholds and the narrow passage make it easy enough to keep one's purchase by pressing against opposite surfaces with elbows and knees.

She descends some 60 feet or so at an angle until the passage begins to level off, clearly carved by natural erosion. Her whiskers detect the faint stir of air and the mustiness of the air begins to freshen

[Styrius]

Findalsip winced at the sound of the scraping metal as Katten goes into the opening. He marvels at her bravery. He is keeping track of where they are in the the cavern. Nothing in the chest excites him but the stones yet they aren’t rubies. He agrees with helping the group provision. “Perhaps some of the items belong to the freed people” he remarks.

[Jenara]

She hugs herself against a wall, making herself look small as she moves onwards. Was this an escape route? She ponders.

[TristenC]

Katten continues on down the twists and turns of the tunnel as it shortens but widens out. More and more fresh air fills the space until eventually it opens to the outside.

The pale blue of moonlight reveals the far wall of the chasm, though the exit is shielded by a wide overhanging rock. A ledge runs off to the West that curves around the natural irregularities in the canyon wall. From here it seems she must be 60 feet or so down from the Chasm edge itself!

[Styrius]

Findalsip gathers what he can so that he can return items to their rightful owners. The captives could use some better news in addition to their freedom.

[Nocturno]

Nocturno will wait patiently at the edge of the hole Katten went into. Listening for signs of trouble.

[Jenara]

Marvelling at the sight she pauses, allowing her body to take in the fresher air.

"Come. See. Strange." Katten calls back keeping the axe close as she steps carefully towards the edge.

[Nocturno]

Noturno will sheath his weapon, and crawl in.
