Cat falls back to east tunnel. red X is her lantern staying there.
Alice goes to check out whats with the ladder carrying her lantern.
Yulya tosses a rock with LIGHT into the east tunnel (red circle) and then moves into the cavern if Alice determines its safe
Ashley does whatever

[Ashley] Nah, I'm just an American girl at heart. Anyway, the level is pristine other than the giant gopher, what's to worry about? Also, didn't you like put the carcass of a dead animal and spill sewer juice in Freya's sanctuary? Didn't you also abandon the party in the first ever fight to go practice your slime mold pose? Didn't you slap a helpful dragon in the face? Didn't you also threaten to destroy an ancient ecosystem of beautiful angel catfish just to kill other wildlife? These are rhetorical questions. Plus I gave you candy?! Did you say thank you once?

« Last post by Alice on January 02, 2026, 04:27:25 pm »Mrs. B knocks the lantern over with her tail before running after Ashley, causing it to flicker out.Alice's eyes narrow
I will not forget this!
She puts up the lantern again and re-ignites it before following the others.
"Excuse me? I'm from the negative plane in case you don't remember, I was summoned here as far as I can tell. Does that make me unworthy of care and kindness? Sheesh, sometimes I wonder if you're even emotionally genuine. Humph!"Alice is genuinely puzzled
Haa? I thought you're a human who somehow ended up being summoned into the Negative Plane? You're clearly not a being of the Negative plane itself. They're thankfully not stable in this world just like your summons. At least not under normal conditions I believe. And no, as you act right now you're clearly unworthy of that! Get yourself together and show a minimum of cooperation! We have a drow elf head to collect!
You make your way North, blindly following a catgirl Barbarian into clear and present danger. Ashley waits where she is.Alice has no idea what a gopher is but tries to imagine what the animal or monster who dug this tunnel might look like.
She looks East and sees more unstable tunneling, unlike the neatly cut and shored areas that have been stable for hundreds of years, Cat sees an intersecting tunnel that seems to be bored with teeth and claws rather than dug with tools, like a giant gopher came through, not caring to clean up the rubble and pressing it aside as it went. Relatively fresh surfaces are exposed including areas where veins have been completely ignored. A bright metallic and green vein of Mithril and copper ore glints in Cat's lamp light. Whatever dug this didn't do it with any regard for stability or prospecting.
That must be a big creature! The two fundamental questions are:
1) What does it taste like?
2) Does it have ears?
I guess we'll find out one way or the other. Where do we go, Yulya-sama? Do we continue on or take the lower tunnel eastwards? I don't like either but I think I hate the Western one a little less!
Alice follows to wherever Yulya decides.

Also how is Ashley not being evil? I'm not even complaining anymore. It's a simple question.
>betrays, manipulates and lies to her 'beloved' summons for selfish desires
>refuses to use her powers for the benefit of the party for no reason other than that she doesn't want to
>actively aids the enemy by letting her summons sabotage us by refusing to scout and even knocking over lanterns to put out the light
This isn't the neutral 'valuing freedom and living on a whim' anymore. It's open disregard not only for the feelings but also safety of her comrades, to the point of endangering the party
I may do stupid things sometimes and I am very much untroubled to harm (and eat) beings I consider pests, but you will never see me causing trouble to my comrades and friends on purpose, let alone endanger them. And I do what I am told unless that itself endangers us. So if Ashley's behavior is 'neutral', I never ever want to be accused of being 'evil' again!
With that out of the way, where do we go now? Whatever dug that probably is too big to fit in the man-made tunnels. So we should be safe there. Do we continue North or go back? Kashtan's right, moving straight through the middle with enemies left and right isn't the best idea.

NeutralEvil (NE). Neutral Evil is the alignment of those who are untroubled by the harm they cause as they pursue their desires.

"Got it. Yulya, be more careful!" Ashley winks at Yulya and snickers.
This is insane... Or am I the crazy one? We will all die here...
"Buck up, I have a feeling we have a lot more horrors ahead."
[Perception 1d20+5+1d4=20]
Yulya finds no traps, she's certain of it.
And yet, you keep coming back! If your fate is so bad, maybe talk to the girl that summons you and sends you to your deaths?
[Mr. Bigglesworth is immune to charm, persuasion and corruption against his master.]
"Don't listen to her Mr. B, you know I would never send you to your death! How silly." She pets him gingerly and cackles like she's cracking herself up.
He snuggles in to her arms and purrs.
Alice stares back at Mrs. B. Useless!
Mrs. B knocks the lantern over with her tail before running after Ashley, causing it to flicker out.
Well, It's up to you to share your money with them then! What would a demonic mecha-cat buy with money anyway?
"You just negated your own statement."
Demonic monsters of the Negative Plane aren't animals!
[Though they aren't necessarily animals, they are like animals never mind any similarities to anything you might know.]
"Excuse me? I'm from the negative plane in case you don't remember, I was summoned here as far as I can tell. Does that make me unworthy of care and kindness? Sheesh, sometimes I wonder if you're even emotionally genuine. Humph!"
Alice attempts to quickly see what's in the endless and numerous tunnels, their function is clearly to excavate ores, she can't find anything else interesting about them.
Cat again carefully moves N to the tunnel leading E and peeks across the corner but does not enter the tunnel. You make your way North, blindly following a catgirl Barbarian into clear and present danger. Ashley waits where she is.
She looks East and sees more unstable tunneling, unlike the neatly cut and shored areas that have been stable for hundreds of years, Cat sees an intersecting tunnel that seems to be bored with teeth and claws rather than dug with tools, like a giant gopher came through, not caring to clean up the rubble and pressing it aside as it went. Relatively fresh surfaces are exposed including areas where veins have been completely ignored. A bright metallic and green vein of Mithril and copper ore glints in Cat's lamp light. Whatever dug this didn't do it with any regard for stability or prospecting.
