« Last post by Joy on December 31, 2025, 08:54:46 am »What is in the other two crates? Can you open them Ashley? But be careful!
Ashley asks Cat to help and between the two of them they've opened the crates. Just as in other levels, the larger crates are filled with mining supplies, but in this case, the leather and fabric have aged to uselessness, they're stiff and unusable. The tools are fine though. Nails, picks for the large and the small, hammers, digging bars, and other sundries.
Ashley I would like to cast LIGHT on Mr. Bigglesworth and send him to the tunnel going North to scout! If he finds no enemy we should proceed there while Mrs. Bigglesworth is our rear guard!
"Ah... nah." She picks him up like a little baby.
"He may be part machine, but it's also part alive, he's not a tool isn't that right Mr. Bigglesworth?"
The cat stares blankly, like he's seen things he can't un-see, like the weight of the world is on his shoulders, like he's been beaten and stabbed, bludgeoned and crushed, torn apart, eaten, chopped in twain and blown to bits. Those eyes have seen things no mortal being should have even seen in one lifetime.
"I'll carry a lamp, I can do that with Cat in front."
We need a second light for Mrs. Bigglesworth. Can she carry this lamp? It looks light enough to me!
Mrs. Bigglesworth looks at Alice with quiet disobedience.
"It's not like they're getting paid to do this." Ashley quips.
Ashley casts Truesight and flanks Cat as they move to investigate, Carrying Mr. Bigglesworth like precious cargo.
[Ashley has denied the opportunity to add animal cruelty to your list of crimes.]
Cat moves 5ft NE and carefully takes a peek around the corner North. Again there's a whole lot of nothing, dusty tunnels continue to branch, this area looks like it was heavily excavated. There is a partial collapse to the East, otherwise, very old shoring has stood the test of time. The Ceiling in some areas extends dozens of feet and branches to other dark passages. To the South another ladder heads up to the unknown, again these passages are the result of years of excavation and prospecting. The remnants of veins are left on the walls in some sections including the precursor stones for Platinum, Copper, Silver and a very lustrous ore filled with speckles that are as shiny as polished metal. The metallic tone is clear for anyone to see, the low grade ore chipped away at as thoroughly as possible, but left for structural support, is in fact unmistakably Mithril. Ashley attempts to find any part that might yield good enough ore for a sample, but in this area it's well picked clean, leaving only low grade ore at best.
In the tunnel to the North are another set of supplies, an axe, a hammer and five more barrels.

If the coast is clear, she positions a lamp there to keep the area lit. She also keeps her bow ready with a honed arrow.
Nyaa so many tunnels!

Heh, at least this is good to set things on fire!
For now, Alice keeps her position and readies her bow to shoot anything that approaches with a honed arrow.

The oil is so old it's nearly solidified but will still work.Yulya is both relieved it's not a trap and disappointed its just lamps. She takes one lamp and hands out the others.
Well - at least something useful. It is better than treasure protected by some vengeful undead. What is in the other two crates? Can you open them Ashley? But be careful!
After inspecting all crates Yulya decides to move North.

If Ashley agrees Yulya casts LIGHT on the brave cat giving him a beautiful orange glow imitating a lantern.
