« Last post by Joy on December 28, 2025, 09:22:46 am »[Time: Thursday, Spring 27, 09:00, 10C Calm][Earlier typos were perpetuated, it is in fact Thursday, moon: 46% waning][The Blades have been honed, everyone is rested, a new day has begun. Subtract 1 ration for everyone but Ashley to cover the travel and breakfast.]
Everyone packs up and it's time to head off again.
Ashley grouses, "Leave the ears alone! Anyway, why didn't we just take the elevator? It's locked you know. Is it some kind of self-flagellation thing?"
As Ashley Panther, Ashley could make the trek back, transform again and bring the elevator down in about 5-6 hours.
[Time: Thursday, Spring 27, 12:00, 10C Calm]
Several hours later, you reach the bottom of the stairs. This level is oddly in better shape than the previous one, but the shoring is ancient, perhaps untouched in centuries, there is no evidence of any being, living or dead, the air is stale from old wood but a very slight stream of fresh air is still circulating up the stairs. It is ever so slightly warmer down here, leading to the natural convection.
There are no glowstone lanterns here, only the occasional conventional lantern, dark for centuries but functional, still intact from the days this mine level was still active. The shaft you ascended was likely made to chase ores and connected to the next level for convenience. Otherwise the area is pitch dark and beyond anyone's sight aside from Ashley's Blindsight and Truesight. Whatever light you were using to descend the steps is lighting up the area around you. The small room at the bottom has three ancient crates and two oddly shaped metallic busts on the walls reminiscent of a goat and a pony, revered animals often used by dwarves in mines.

We went down here without half of our equipment!
Relax Nya even I can't carry all of that at once Nya!
Cat hauls all the equipment down the ladders step by step before reaching the resting spot
Nyaa I hope we can take the elevator back up to bring all the loot Nya! Don't wanna drag all our things up this way Nya!
With the tent set up, Cat rests from the undead scare and hones her sword
Alice Nya hone your blades and keep watch with Ashley Nya!

« Last post by Yulya on December 27, 2025, 06:42:14 pm »In the most unlikely turn of events a timid Cat is leading away an aggressive Yulya who keeps rambling.
I am fine with being lectured by bandits drow elves - even dragons. But for a cleric to follow the orders of an undead? I would rather go back to the tea party with the goddesses! It was peaceful there!
Yulya sets up the tent so the rest that was so rudely interrupted can continue. she scans the area for potential threats before retreating into the tent to regenerate her hp.
Alice what did you mean by THEM? Did you have something against undead in your ship? I doubt I can put Sir Mormesks soul to rest without his consent and with him around riddling all visitors with holes we can hardly report to have cleared the mine of threats. The only realistic option is to return with Summer should we survive this ordeal...

Russia is an angry wasp and you euros are doing the spider dance in fear.
Russia is not the enemy, even Putan would say he's not interested in Europe other than to protect his interests from Nato pressure.
China is the enemy and good ole Whinny the Poopoo is sweet talking the world, offering cheap honey to the masses. Who the Chinese consider no better than flies. Slaves at best. China is open about this, they believe they are the only race that should exist, all other races are less than human. It makes it very eaay to justify world domination and half the politicians here are all for it given they get their daily honeypot
.
Russia will be on our side eventually, and you can choose China if you want but don't be complaining when your sky starts losing pixles.
Didn't work out too well for Iran.
Now I have no clue why we're in bed with Isreal, but if it means we can bomb terroists with impunity then I'm okay with it.

ok thx that really was a major oversight. aside from preventing a fist fight between a peace cleric and an op undead - Cat will also have to drag heavy sacks down ladders and stairs. i still suggestb we rest as planned until Cat is healed and Yulya has regained her mp and a full focus. have all blades be honed?
