Torches, barrels, long since dried stiff leather and other mining gear rest on shelves just south of this elevator shaft. To the east, a dim light seems to be illuminating the passages. Cat can smell the unmistakable scent of glowstone.
Cat looks around.
Nyaa so many traps Nya and glowstone Nya I'm sure there are humans Nya! Or were Nya. I'm worried they must have expected the bulettes to come this far Nya! We must be careful not to get cornered Nya!

Cat leaves a lamp at the curve of the tunnel S of Yulya.
A Bulette would knock it over Nya we can see when they are coming Nya.
 
Cat moves 10ft N, 5ft E and only allows very dim light to enter the large tunnel so Alice can see a bit. She makes sure no light goes W so Alice remains hidden in darkness.

[Time: Thursday, Spring 27, 13:00, 10C Calm]

The dark tunnels and dusty halls are once again quiet. Nothing seems to be coming, so you all agree that the Northwest tunnel is off limits and it's time to explore more of the rest of this developed level.

Alice takes a look at the blocked tunnel again, beams crossing the tunnel seem impassible for anything larger than a housecat or a pseudopod suspended in space, the beams are placed in a strange manner and as Yulya takes a closer look, the walls have been reinforced in all areas except here, large rocks teeter on a hair trigger, this is a large trap, possibly meant to take out a bulette. It is unclear just how much of the area will become impassable rubble if anyone dares go that way. She can just make out a dim light in the passages on the other side.

"I'm not a mine safety engineer, but I don't think it's safe to go that way for anyone. Unless you want to waste half a day backtracking and waking up every mushroom and skeleton from here to level 2."



Alice presses north, followed closely by Cat.

To the Northwest, Alice sees an elevator shaft of older construction, clearly not the same elevator they used. In this case at least, this is the bottom level. The elevator is down but inspecting it further you notice the heavy chains have broken along with one of the main pullies, now off it's shaft and threatening to fall onto the elevator platform, remarkably resembling another trap. The chains dangling on either side of the pully seem to be the only thing keeping it from falling, something large enough to brush against them would have a multi-ton pulley fall on it. Whatever or whoever damaged them may have left them teetering here by accident, or as another trap.

Torches, barrels, long since dried stiff leather and other mining gear rest on shelves just south of this elevator shaft. To the east, a dim light seems to be illuminating the passages. Cat can smell the unmistakable scent of glowstone.

We can't be allowing that now can we? Certainly not while there's such a wonderful and consistent threat of death and dismemberment. But killing you permanently just won't do either, not while there's a hungry dragon to feed.

Don't care about UK, if they turn themselves around then maybe.

The rumbling sound intensifies until it seems like there could be as many as 4 additional sources, then stops, a crunching sound echoes throughout the chamber then all is quite.
"Don't even think about going back up there, and count ourselves lucky if they don't follow. I'll tell them personally, assuming we ever see them again, that they need an exterminator."
Yulya catches her breath visibly shaken.
Oh dear who thought there would be hordes of such creatures! I am beginning to suspect Daniella was right. What are we doing here? We need an entire army to conquer this place! If it wasn't for Sir Mormesk I would have called it a day and retreated to Phandain to report...

Yulya I am keeping the ring for now so I an scout! I'll return it as soon as we're done exploring. So stay behind a bit with your tingling armor!
Yulya nods and whispers
Yes please continue to scout!
Yulya goes 5ft  south of Nixie She again relies on her perception to search the area for enemies and traps.

Bernd, would you make an age exception on this one? ♡♡♡
Exception for what? Sex? Certainly.
But everything beyond that - I doubt she'd be interesting in discussing the industrial output of the Ottoman Empire in WWI with me. Most of those edgy alt-right women are fake 'pick-me-girls' who do it for attention, not because they believe in a greater cause. By the way, I wonder if that T-shirt could earn you jail tme in Germany. Probably.

Funny that you brought this up, I don't know of you heard of Amelia, she's a character from a cheap educational web game from Britain that was supposed to warn young people about 'Right Wing Extremism'. Truly an Orwellian nightmare, I played it. No matter what path you choose, your behavior gets labeled as 'problematic' and you constantly get warned that informing yourself online or participating in political protests could have severe consequences. Britain is truly 1984+Brave New World*Big Brother.



However - where there is Shadow there is also Light. The whole thing backfired gloriously, and the game's antagonist, a pink-haired girl named Amelia that baits the player with patriotic statements became a meme with a significant fanbase.

More regarding White Supremacy tomorrow, Alice says I need to sleep now and tupper's orders are tupper's orders.
Download the mp4 below, I can't post videos here. Will upload to /tulpa/ if I find the time.

Alice nimbly catches up with the others, crossing the tunnel on tiptoes to not alert any additional bulettes.
But we're the pest exterminators here! And I wanted to investigate that weird slime...
Well, as long as the blue skeleton guy is here, the dwarves can forget entering the mine anyway.
Yulya I am keeping the ring for now so I an scout! I'll return it as soon as we're done exploring. So stay behind a bit with your tingling armor!

Alice carefully proceeds North to Helga and takes another look at the passage East to estimate its safety.
Ashley you think a lynx could cross it safely?

Alice sneaks further N, pressed against the Western wall of the tunnel until she reaches the tracks. She carefully looks around for traps and enemies.

Thanks!
I wasn't sure myself!

4 bulettes, I wonder how anyone could ever have mined anything in here without being eaten immediately.

Result: 1 ki point will be returned.

Two arms, two skulls within 5ft, one action.

I presumed your disengage, if necessary was monk voodoo magic and therefore ignored the need if needed this time.
