*Evie crossed the gauntlet with her dedicated outfit of camo capris and a matching a-shirt revealing her upper arm dragon tattoo that wraps around her left arm. She has black sneakers on, without socks. She has a messenger bag with the usual material.* ((A magnifying glass, a large magnet, 50' of light weight rope, 3 sterno cans, bic lighter, WD-40, mini-maglite, leatherman supertool, a roll of duct tape, a roll of dimes, a roll of pennies, first aid kit, a tuning fork, a sharpie, a gel pen, drawling tablet and box of charcoal, colored chalks and regular #2 pencils and a compass.))

*Sarah goes Hispo in the umbra, black furred, sleek and powerful. Shes of mid-size in the garou spectrum of things. Around her neck is the same beaded medicine pouch that seems visable in all forms. Theres a few charms braided into her maine and ruff, that aren't visable in her other forms. On her back sprouts magestic wings, silver grey with black tips, and black striping on the flight feathers*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:31:35 PM)
Well tha's the question isn't it? I suppose I should tell ye wot I've found out. Mebbe Talisman Seeker can answer that question... Bein as its her speciality. Hydra's Fangs is a whip with two tails, an' teeth of a dragon wored into th ends. It was lost in Panagea, but Gaia only knows where it is now. It has a bronze handle. Th last thing I saw in mi... well, dream... was three paths. One of gold coin, one of iron veins, one of silver. They smelled each of cotton, jasmine and peppermint... then I woke.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:32:02 PM)

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:43:07 PM)
Lost things umbral wise....tend to gravitate to somewhere not nice.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:43:27 PM)
ye don't know where this is takin' us though?

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:43:30 PM)
Never been there....but the Abyss....kinda like the Umbal grand canyon only suckier.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:44:05 PM)
so if we get knocked off our path we're fucked... that's wot yer sayin'?

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:44:06 PM)
So... how do we get there? Do we at all?

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 9:44:18 PM)
Ew. *Kara makes a wolfish face, then shudders.* You guys wanna go there? You're dumber than I thought. If you make it back, I want a story of what you all did and how.

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:45:00 PM)
Well I might be OK, *flexes wings* maybe.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:45:21 PM)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:45:43 PM)
*sighed* Bloody Hell. Well then, ye an Calliope both. *looked to Sarah* An' I've not a can o Red Bull... So seriously, how we do this then, is there a trail or somethin? or just "poof" and falling forever?

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:47:02 PM)
I've an idea... but not th' idea how t' accomplish it... a spirit o Pegasus I could ride would solve a lot o problems. I've never tried t' summon such a spirit though.

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:47:14 PM)
I don't know never been there.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:47:32 PM)
*looked to Kara* Wot are we up against?

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 9:47:34 PM)
*Kara brightens a little.* -ws- I could make you a bridge there, but getting out is harder.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:47:36 PM)
or how are ye gonna convince it to let ye ride, and then how're ye gonna get it to go there

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:47:36 PM)
Canyon's have edges...I don't think it's POOF and a fall.

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:48:09 PM)
But then I learned this from a Galliard who thought a purple stuffed monkey talked to him.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:48:31 PM)
Its spirit could've. *shrugged*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:48:46 PM)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:49:11 PM)
*to Rory* Luv, Pegasus is mi tribal totem. Still not certain I could convince it t' take us there.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:50:18 PM)
stag wouldn' let me ride it without a damn good reason... just because it's yer totem doesn' mean it's automatically yer friend

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:50:24 PM)
Not real adventuresome are you? Never just went on an umbral trip to see where it takes you?

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 9:50:25 PM)
-ws- Same way you get out of any other umbral realm. Walk. But the place is a spirit-magnet, and tainted. *Kara continues to grin brightly.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:50:43 PM)
How long before the taint affects us do ye think?

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:50:51 PM)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:52:45 PM)

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:53:08 PM)
i aint leavin' ye alone in this, to wotever end i'm with ye

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:54:37 PM)

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 9:54:45 PM)
*Kara throws back her head and howls, gently loping around in a circle again... before a shimmering path of a moonbridge is forged, a few feet off the ground, looping upward.* -ws- Off ya go, then, all four of you.

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:54:58 PM)
Four?

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:55:05 PM)
*blinked and looked behind them*

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 9:55:13 PM)
[Pay no attention to the little wolf behind the curtain.]

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:56:00 PM)
*shifted to HIspo for speed and strength, waiting.* Four? *counts, just in case she got it wrong. She shrugged and lept onto the bridge and waited for the others.*

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 9:56:24 PM)
*The fourth member of the group is a nondescript wolf, offering a light smile. Surely you all invited her along, even if you can't remember her name at the moment... right?*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 9:57:02 PM)
*also shifting into hispo, he looked back again at the wolf coming their way, noting the small but undefinable familiarity then started to trot ahead onto the bridge*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:57:22 PM)
*Evie was sporting a silver-white diamond shapped patch of fur running the length of her snout from between her eyes to the start of her wet nose. The result of having her soul leeched by Heart Nail.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 9:58:53 PM)
*Evie waited until they were all together and then took off at a good pace to follow the moonbridge.*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 9:59:18 PM)
*steps on the moonbridge*

Kara "Finder of Lost Things" (Oct 25, 2010 10:01:34 PM)
*The fourth wolf lopes along, pretty much forgotten in the travel, keeping to his lupine form, a grey-brown with slightly smaller features than normal and wide golden eyes.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:03:34 PM)
*Evie galloped at a strong pace but not so as to tire them.*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 10:04:01 PM)
*pads along in Hispo, not taking flight unless she really has too*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 10:04:02 PM)

*And, as the group can only run as fast as the slowest member, sunrise has the group still on the bridge as the poor Fianna is panting. A brief respite is likely in order, and the moonbridge -is- stable, despite being somewhat hidden by Helios's gaze. As Rory flops down, the tagalong just curls up to rest, watching over the fluff of his tail.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:35:52 PM)
*Evie sniffed the ground, prepared to regret it, but trying to remember the scent of where they landed anyway.*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:36:23 PM)
*And Sky Chaser jumps off as well. After a moment, the metal grating ot the landing vibrates once... then sinks into the ground. Down, down, down. Down it goes. Sinking, falling, drifting... and it goes past a landing, then another... then another fifteen, the world getting darker and darker... before it stops. Kerchunk. It appears that the mining shaft has ended in a cave lit by mining lamps. Evie's sniff gets rusted metal and oil.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 10:37:20 PM)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:40:15 PM)
*shifted to lupus now, more for stealth's sake. Smaller and so harder to spot. She drifted forward quietly, saying nothing now. She let her ears twitch and nose catch anything other than the metal and oil and her party. (spending gnosis to activate Heightened Senses.)*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:41:01 PM)
*It appears that the cave the group found themselves in is a dead-end one way, with a few gnawed bones tossed about... the shaft behind them, with the rapidly-ascending lift vanishing into the darkness above and cutting off the sunlight... a lit curve ahead... and an opening off into an open space where Rory and Sky are looking out. At least it's not a sharp drop, more of a curve down...*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 10:43:05 PM)

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 10:52:04 PM)
*follows the others*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 10:52:41 PM)
*looked back at sarah, then flicked his gaze upward to see how they were supposed to get out of here*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:54:24 PM)
*Evie edged toward the lit cave using her senses to try and be aware of what ws before them. Not quite leaving the area yet but trying to figure better on what their surroundings were.*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:55:14 PM)
*As the group heads... down... the lit cave seems to have the lights spaced a bit less frequently. There's an occasional side branch. One or two head back toward the pit, a few into solid rock, and a few more into passages set at odd angles. About a hundred yards further, the lights end... and a large pile of bones nearly closes off the cave ahead. One branch heads left, toward the pit, another right, into darkened passages.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:56:31 PM)
::ws:: Ideas? Seems its either th other way, or down into that darkness there *she sniffed trying to sniff Bronze and not necessarily expecting she'll find any.*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 10:56:59 PM)
ws Six of one half dozen of another?

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 10:57:24 PM)
*sniffed in the direction of the bones*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:57:29 PM)
(looks at the lamps, do they come off the wall?)

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:57:54 PM)
[If you don't mind pulling a few hundred yards of electrical cord and the rest of the lamps off.]

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 10:58:09 PM)
(ah, electric lamps, nevermind ;) )

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 10:58:13 PM)
(sounds like a good time to me!)

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:58:14 PM)
*Yuck. The bones smell AWFUL.]

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:58:17 PM)
*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 10:58:59 PM)
*huffed at the smell, wiping his nose then sniffed toward the right for any of the described smells*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 10:59:45 PM)
*The sniff down at the darkness... draws a sniffling sound in return. Something is alive down in there, but probably a ways in.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:00:14 PM)
*growled and lowered his tail* we're not alone

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:00:15 PM)
*ear twitched.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:02:00 PM)
::ws:: I expect a frackus sooner or later. *she directed her eyes down the dark tunnel, she concentrated as she glared.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:02:32 PM)
*stepped forward, prepared to meet whatever it was head on as whatever it was already knew they were there*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:02:49 PM)
*follows along slowly...tensing*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:05:11 PM)
*yelps a bit like someone boxed her ears... with sledgehammers, taking a step back. When she recovers* ::ws:: Don't sense the wyrm here.... its like looking for radiation on the sun.

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:05:32 PM)
*flicks an ear*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:06:19 PM)
*shuffle.. snuffle... skitter... pad. And a little black cat with huge, wide green eyes pads up the darkened cave, looking over the Garou... then it grins. TEETH. After a moment, it fades away, leaving the eyes and smile, the eyes vanishing after about twenty seconds, the grin after about thirty five.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:06:48 PM)
the cheshire cat? *sniffing into the tunnel again*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:06:59 PM)
*she looked that way... she saw the cat.* ::that can't be good::

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:07:55 PM)
:: Well, unless anyone's a better idea... I say we head there an see wots wot ::

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:08:10 PM)
ws Your hunt.

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:08:13 PM)
*ROAR! Something -huge- is past the bones, and as the echoes and ground-shaking stops, there's a small whimper from down in the darkness.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:08:33 PM)
i'll lead this time... *yelps at the roar* wot the bloody hell was that?!

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:08:49 PM)
[Something much, much bigger than you.]

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:09:02 PM)
:: Face it, there's no right way to go. So lets go that way:: *points with her nose*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:09:05 PM)
(sounds like something that'd make good eating and mounting of the head on my wall!)

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:09:32 PM)
*followed evies directions, leading the tribe, whatever it was he wanted to be the first one to face it... gotta love ahrouns*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:09:55 PM)
[Heading toward the pit, the roar/bones, or the whimper/darkness?]

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:10:07 PM)
*Evie let the Ahroun lead* (whimper darkness for now)

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:10:12 PM)
(up to evie, i'm just following directions)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:13:00 PM)
(afk 2 mins to feed the beasts)

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:13:48 PM)
*The guest wolf gulps a bit.* P-probably best not to go somewhere dark, here... *But she follows along, probably to not be left alone.*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:14:08 PM)
[Animals or children? :D]

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:14:24 PM)
be careful up here, there's a quick turn and a sudden dropoff... *goes deeper into the darkness, sniffing at the edge and listening for sounds that didn't match the party or signs of unwanted company*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:14:58 PM)
*The whimper happens again, apparently from... down, past Rory.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:16:11 PM)
(cats, and back)

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:16:41 PM)
evie... we can either go back, or go down... but there's something whimpering down here

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:17:29 PM)
::I say keep goin, if ye can see:: (can we, at all?)

Morgan O'Donnell (Oct 25, 2010 11:18:37 PM)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:18:53 PM)
*Evie felt her way alone behind Rory, careful not to step off any ledges*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:19:09 PM)
[Only the far wall across from the way you came in, a bit of the curve. Rory's tail is visible, but ahead, it's cave-black. Where he is, there's a ledge in the darkness.]

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:19:12 PM)
*nipped at evie to warn her when she got too close to the ledge, staring down into the darkness again*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:19:13 PM)
*feels her way with the others...goingly slowly and carefully*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:20:16 PM)
*followed rory's tail and checking every step she makes before putting weight on it.*

Morgan O'Donnell (Oct 25, 2010 11:21:06 PM)
*she trailed along behind them all, having at some point in the journey fallen into rear guard

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:21:07 PM)
i'm on the ledge now, evie... we go back or down... or up *looking up from where they were* but i don't think i can climb from here

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:21:08 PM)
[Jagged floor edge ahead, dropoff into the darkness.]

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:22:01 PM)
*The guest wolf, Sky Chaser, steps behind the group, tail tucked between her legs, as she swallows. The whimper happens again, from down/forward in the darkness.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:22:46 PM)
*closes his eyes, trying to guage how far down/ out the sound is coming from*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:23:35 PM)
*if there's room, evie gets up against the wall and shifts Homid. She makes sure there's room for her to remain standing before she does, and that the ledge will hold the additonal weight.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:25:01 PM)
i can't get a solid lead on where it's coming from... it's echoing too much, can anyone else try to find out where it's coming from? if it's coming from a few feet down we can jump

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:25:37 PM)
((too tight quarters for flight right?))

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:25:53 PM)
*if that much succeeds, she pulls her messenger bag around her side and fidgits inside it pulling out the mini maglight. She clicked it on and looked around them, and down into the dark looking to see what can be seen.*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:26:06 PM)
[Do you -really- want to fly in the darkness, this close to the Abyss?]

Morgan O'Donnell (Oct 25, 2010 11:27:48 PM)
*she listened intensely to the sound that they were trying to gauge*

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:28:02 PM)
*A few dozen yards ahead, the jagged edge of the path matches the opposite of the ledge that the Garou are standing on. Between them, the floor opens straight downward in the otherwise roughly-oval-shaped cave/tunnel. Into more blackness.*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:28:33 PM)
((not a good idea if I can't see))

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:28:57 PM)
*huffed, eyeing across the way to the other ledge* i can jump it

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:29:23 PM)
[Well, with the maglight, you can see the tunnel ahead, with another curve to the left... and the drop a dozen or so yards down, sheer walls.]

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:29:25 PM)
Rory, don't ye fall.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:30:21 PM)
trust me, i don' exactly wanna fall... *paused, then looked at the woman with wings* evie... you got rope in that bag?

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:31:03 PM)
aye... (the list she brought with her again ((A magnifying glass, a large magnet, 50' of light weight rope, 3 sterno cans, bic lighter, WD-40, mini-maglite, leatherman supertool, a roll of duct tape, a roll of dimes, a roll of pennies, first aid kit, a tuning fork, a sharpie, a gel pen, drawling tablet and box of charcoal, colored chalks and regular #2 pencils and a compass.)) plus her usual equipment.)

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:33:04 PM)
*Click... rattle... click... clackity... whimper. Something is happening down in the darkness, kind of like a few dry bones being dropped together, or dice... and the sound of a lost puppy.*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:33:46 PM)
*looked down into the darkness, trying to guage the distance again*

Morgan O'Donnell (Oct 25, 2010 11:33:48 PM)
*this distrubes the youngest member of the expedition and she paces a little*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:34:48 PM)
*just watches so far shes not been able to figure out a way to help exactly*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:35:04 PM)
Wot'll it be? Can ye make it or not? We don't know wots down there either. We've two other direcitons we could go.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:36:25 PM)
it's about 30 feet... i can make the fall but i don't fancy my chances once i hit the ground... *then looked across* i can make that jump too, but i was more thinking we'd send talisman seeker across with the rope to tie it off so those that can't make it can climb across

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:37:23 PM)
*Rattle, clackity... and there's a yelp, then a wet ripping sound, followed by an echoing scream. The blood-chilling vocalization continues, as if something's in tremendous pain, before there's another ripping sound, and the scream trails off into a choked gurgle. There's only clacking and ripping sounds, then.*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:37:29 PM)
*perks up and noses forward to study the situation*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:37:50 PM)
ws I think .........whoever it is just died.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:38:03 PM)
Bloody hell...

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:38:14 PM)
[Happy Halloween, puppies.]

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:38:16 PM)
*growled, his claws digging into the ground* an' whoever did it is about to meet the same end...

Morgan O'Donnell (Oct 25, 2010 11:38:46 PM)
*She too voiced a growl, not speaking even in wolf speak

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:38:48 PM)
Awright, not that I don't love a good brawl... an we may come back this way but jumping over there, we may not be able t' jump back. Lets check th other way?

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:39:54 PM)
it's 30 feet, ye got the rope... i'll just saunter down there, rip the critter a new ass, an' be back before ye can say halloween

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:40:46 PM)
*sits and looks towards Evie*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:41:05 PM)
Rory this is th abyss. wotever just died may have been of the wyrm as well as anythin else here. We're here fer Hydra's Fangs...

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:42:17 PM)
an' if it wasn't? *looking down again and shook his head before turning and padding back down the hall*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:44:23 PM)
*she looks at Evie expectingly, shes been usually quiet through most of this, at first perhaps cowed by the location, but now well, shes dismissed many ideas mainly because it's Evie's challenge.*

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:45:52 PM)
If it wasn't, its dead anyway. Lets not get caught up in other problems. We could spend a lifetime here killin th wyrm but we'd become it if we tried.

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:46:18 PM)
ws No probably just chew toys ourselves.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:46:52 PM)
.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:46:54 PM)
Or that. *she shined the light on the other tunnel so Rory could jump*

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:49:58 PM)
*called back down the tunnel* there's not enough running room!

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:50:25 PM)
*sighed* Unless anyone has ideas, lets try th other way? We can always come back t' this.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:52:05 PM)
Everyone head back *she shifted lupus again*

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:52:05 PM)
ws I can't try winging it when I can't see where I'm going or if theres something I'll hit.

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:52:29 PM)
*Evie shines the light so she can see* Can ye do it?

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:52:43 PM)
what's going on? what're we doing?

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:53:13 PM)
I'm workin on that. We've been sittin here doin nothin. so either ye have an idea or lets go th other way an see where that goes.

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:53:43 PM)
i was waiting for you people, i'm still down in the tunnel... so we're headed the other way?

Sarah Runningfox (Oct 25, 2010 11:54:06 PM)
((I got an hour left))

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:54:19 PM)
(me too, sadly :/ )

Sky Chaser (Oct 25, 2010 11:54:42 PM)
[Awr. I can speed it up and rush the rest, or we can do the hour and another scene, soon.]

Rory Donovan (Oct 25, 2010 11:55:18 PM)
(i'm fine with either, but this is evie's scene so it's her call)

-Bloody Mary- Evie D'Arque (Oct 25, 2010 11:56:12 PM)
(whatever everyone wants to do is fine, but lets do something because we've been at this point for about 25 minutes. I think its largely PMing back and forth that's stalled us :) What exactly would it take to cross the pit? I have only a vague idea what we're even seeing)
