Day 3 Recap:

The group awakes to a bunch of glowing mice around them and decide the best thing to do is follow them.

The mice lead them to a large cavern where everything glows and a mysterious dust floats in the air, though thankfully this one doesn't seem to be trying to kill them.

Hemlock giddily sets about collecting samples and running tests. After a while he announces he doesn't know what the dust is, but he's found its source: an ominous hole in the ground that seems too straight to be coincidental.

Naturally, Hemlock decides they should enter the hole and see where the dust is coming from. He leads the other two down safely.

The caverns below look suspiciously as if they were created, with mysterious signs of use, but the group makes camp after a few hours anyway.

Shockingly, the day ends without Hemlock's leadership resulting in catastrophe for the group (at least so far).

The Reluctant Spelunkers awoke suddenly to the site of a small glowing mouse sitting atop Hemlock's head. Shaking the creature off, we all stared at it in curiosity. It was covered in tiny bioluminescent baubles and, as we looked up, we could see several more similar creatures running around in the distance, their lights bobbing up and down in the passages of the cave.

After a few minutes of watching in confusion, we ate, packed our things, and followed the little glowing mice - wherever they might lead us.

Hemlock, led us to a far corner of the bioluminescent caves and pulled aside the branches of a strange underground tree, revealing a relatively round hole in the ground, carved perfectly straight and cylindrical, descending deeper into the ground.

Staring down into the strangely circular pit as it spit out a strange dust, we wondered how far it descended. We kicked a rock inside and listened to it as it bounced against the walls before finally hitting the bottom.

Hehe, so the passage down the hole was "just large enough for them to squeeze through," but Madness is so much bigger than the other two I suspect that means they could've been doing aerial acrobatics all over the place while the poor guardian was just trying not to scrape anything along the walls and ceiling. :D

Okay so this was my day 2, leading into the water cavern:

Ichabod - curious/independent/flight, treasure, chemistry/alchemy/alchemy/flying ace
Kite - cautious/cooperative/fight, seemed like a good idea, stealth/awareness/climbing
Cuddlebug - curious/cooperative/flight, knowledge, ...can't remember/swimming

Quote:

We awoke to darkness and an eerie sense of silence. The only sounds were the distant drip of water and the occasional flutter of bat wings. Uncertain of whether it was day or night, but feeling rested enough, we figured this was as good a time as any to pack up and continue our journey.

We spent what seemed like hours wandering through the branching passageways, each coated in a number of different species of plant and fungus. It was almost uncanny how much life was growing down in these incredibly dark and phenomenally cold places.

In fact, it was too uncanny. Ichabod, growing suspicious of the unusual lifeforms in the area, began to examine them in close detail. There was no good reason for them to be growing here so abundantly, with little source of nourishment, and something about them didn't seem quite right. After minutes of poking and prodding of leaves and mushrooms, Ichabod turned to the group: 'I have a bad feeling about all this plantlife.'

As nervous as these plants might have made us, they were only plants and no strong and brave dragon flees from plants. We decided to continue on.

As we continued to walk, collecting samples of the plantlife around us, we noticed that we had started... *yawn* to grow.... *yawn* quite sleepy... That's funny... oooooh look at those colors..... spinningggggggg.....

The world around us began to spin and fade to black. None of us remember much of what happened after that, but we woke up an indeterminate number of hours later in an unknown place with a raging headache. There weren't any plants around in this place, but we had absolutely no idea where we had just come from. Additionally, Ichabod seemed to be fairing much worse than the rest of us.

Cuddlebug tried to tend to the headache, but was unable to do enough to spare Ichabod from becoming incapacitated.

Still incredibly tired, despite having been unconscious for who knows how long, we decided we should find a safe place to rest. We were in no condition to move on, so we had our meal, logged our activities, and tried to sleep as best we could.

Day 3, frozen lake (thank god Cuddle's a swimmer):

Quote:

"Whoops" awoke to the steady dripping of water. It was warmer here, although only slightly. The stone walls of the cavern we had rested in were damp with a heavy steam that had flooded into the passage overnight. Although our vision was obscured by the fog, it was warmer than we had felt in quite a long time, so we didn't mind too much. Ichabod was in an improved condition, but with the dense mist a cough had begun to set in.

We ate and packed our things, hoping that our now-damp gear would not freeze over in a few hours when we returned to the inevitable chill of the Fortress of Ends.

Progress through the dark and foggy passages was slow. The droplets of water reflected the lights, making our lanterns useless, and without our lanterns we were completely blind. There was very little use in trying to keep up the pace of our previous days, so we kept our tails to the right wall and slowly felt our way through the passages, praying we wouldn't get ourselves lost. Cuddlebug led the way, wondering all the while where the source of this fog might be. We found out with a single step, taken straight into an ice cold pool of water.

The cavern here opened up into a massive underground lake, stretching hundreds of meters in each direction. The mist here was heavy, hanging just above the surface of the water, allowing us to see above it by stretching towards the ceiling of the cavern, which was quite low. If we were to pass through this cavern, we knew that we had to try flying over it. Even if the water was not yet frozen, being wet and walking into the colder areas of the caves could be disastrous.

Confident that we could navigate the lake by climbing around the walls, Kite, led her teammates in a slow climb around the edges of the lake, looking for another passage to follow.

We continued following the lake for quite a while, spotting no surface tunnels to venture into. There were numerous channels submerged underneath the lake that seemed like they might be of interest, but underwater travels were something we wanted to avoid. When we had circled around the lake in its entirety, ending up right where we had begun with no alternate paths in sight, we decided that we had no choice but to attempt to navigate the underwater paths.

Cuddlebug led the way and dove beneath the icy waters to scout out a reasonable passage. When she returned, she told us that one of the channels reached the surface not too far along and that we could easily get there. Following her lead, we were able to navigate through the lake to a new series of caverns.

Rushing to the surface above, we knew that we needed to dry off quickly if we were to avoid hypothermia.

Ichabod tried to create a fire with some sticks and vines we had gathered, but the materials were too wet and would not light. Shivering and cold, Cuddlebug's condition was growing worse by the minute.

Kite tended to her companion, and was fortunately able to do well enough to leave Cuddlebug patched up and ready to continue on.

We spent the rest of the day wandering through the passages that spiraled around beneath the earth. When we once again grew tired, we found a small cavern filled with crystals of ice in which to make our camp. Curling up together to preserve our warmth, we logged our activities, ate our meal, and slept.

Edit: I think I've got it. There are 2 people who fell into the hole in the slippery passage. Anyways..

"We're hunting for a giant, a creature, a danger~"

"This was not what I wanted to wake up to, so please hush~!" A cranky leader rose to remonstrate his student for her (loud) singing.

I couldn't help it. Looks like somebody got up on the wrong side of the floor today."

Nero was not pleased."Everything is cold. The floor, this meal, our bodies...the only thing running hot is my temper!"

So was mine, actually."...Looks like somebody...Needs to chill.."
"...Anyway. Lets get going. Eeny Miney.."

I pointed to the left tunnel, and Nero dashed in. Concerned for their "leader's" recklessness, our intrepid heroines followed after him.

...but as we ran, I doubted. I confess, as the weakest of the team, I fear confrontation. As the path grew rougher and wider, I slowed. Until. "I'm not feeling so intrepid anymore. Lets turn back."
I don't want to fight anymore. Let's not, and say we did?"
Mila was not pleased with that suggestion. But she could not say no to my big-blue-eyes-trick. Or maybe her courage failed her too? I'll assume it was the former.

It was when we doubled back that we heard shouting. We had gone past Nero.
Or had we? The spiraling labyrinth had twisted and turned us till I knew not which way was forwards or backwards. And it was more twists and turns we took to find our team strongest. But I was truly lost now.
Thankfully, Mila made a map.
"Mila for MVP! You really need to learn from your disciple, mister." He bit back a retort and simply praised the Guardian, but I could tell he was..seething? Bitter? And a bit relieved.
He had not wanted to be lost here forever either. But Mila, she looked..upset?

At some point, we came across a path we found strange. How so? I could not say. But it had piqued our attention and curious, we went in.

As we walked, the tunnels grew less and less stone and more and more ice - very slippery ice.
Steering was difficult, and stopping hurt. In the end Nero and I climbed onto Mila- at least this way, only one would be hurt, and no one would be separated. For the first time that day, Nero seemed pleased.

Then the floor inclined downwards. Towards a crack in the path.
We all screamed.
And that was when Mila saved us once again. She pulled an ice pick from her belt and jabbed it deep into the icy floor, preventing us from sliding straight into the depths of the ice.

"I can't take it anymore!" I wailed. Out of consideration for me, we inched our way back.

The rest of the day was spent wandering amongst a series of small but interesting caverns. Somewhere along the line, we began to notice pick marks in the walls and the occasional line etched into the floor, but thankfully, nothing (else) happened.

At day's end,my teammates were not in good spirits. I fear we may not survive the journey.

[quote=Log - Day 3 - Beast Tracks]Blame Sydney if anything goes wrong, it was his Idea awoke within the cold and barren tunnel. After a quick meal, we packed up our gear and continued to follow the tunnel, wherever it might lead - hoping that this time we might actually be able to catch it if we moved quickly enough. Trying to keep as fast a pace as possible, we soon came to a turn in the tunnel, and then another turn, and then an intersection in which two equally round and equally straight tunnels crossed each other. If we wanted to find the creature, we would need to figure out which direction it was in presently. Vornion led the team in a careful inspection of the passages, trying to determine which one had been most recently traversed. It was difficult with little around but scattered rocks and ice, but we eventually came to the conclusion that our best guess was that the creature made a left turn most recently - and so we did the same. We walked down these peculiar tunnels for hours, when suddenly we spotted something. A number of slender black tendrils, looking like a soot-covered mop, scurried across an upcoming intersection in the cavern. Running after it as fast as we could, we realized that this intersection had near hundreds of passages of varying size heading in every direction. How could we determine which direction the strange creature went in? After peering down each and every passage, we were stumped. Eventually, we chose a passage at random and hoped that maybe this one would be the correct one. We soon realized that the tunnels had led us round and round like a maze, and finding our way back would not be easy. At least, it would not have been easy if not for Mortuus, whose incredible map of the caverns would allow us to easily navigate the tunnels we had covered throughout the day. We picked out an interesting side passage that we had seen along the way and made our way back to it. As we walked, the tunnels grew less and less stone and more and more ice - very slippery ice. If any member of the team had claimed to not have fallen on their nose at least once, they would be lying. We all fell, many times, sliding across the floors and bumping into icy pillars and the occasional rock. It would have been hilarious, if not for what would happen next. There we were, slipping and sliding our way through the tunnel, when the tunnel began to incline steeply. It was too small for us to fly, and too late for us to try anyway. With one fateful step, we found ourselves plummeting faster and faster through the tunnel, when we began racing full speed towards a narrow crack in the floor of the passage. In a moment of quick thinking, Vornion pulled an ice pick from his belt and jabbed it deep into the icy floor. The other members of the team grabbed on to his tail, preventing us from sliding straight into the depths of the ice. We carefully and slowly climbed our way up the incline and away from the crack. Having realized that the icy passage was far too dangerous, we made our way back to the stone caverns. We spent the rest of the day wandering amongst a series of small but interesting caverns. Somewhere along the line, we began to notice pick marks in the walls and the occasional line etched into the floor, but nothing particularly interesting came of it. When we had grown tired, we made our camp, ate our meal, logged our activities, and slept.[/quote] dammit Vornion, if it weren't for you we would have been in for a real treat

With one fateful step, we found ourselves plummeting faster and faster through the tunnel, when we began racing full speed towards a narrow crack in the floor of the passage.

In a moment of quick thinking, Vornion pulled an ice pick from his belt and jabbed it deep into the icy floor. The other members of the team grabbed on to his tail, preventing us from sliding straight into the depths of the ice. We carefully and slowly climbed our way up the incline and away from the crack. Having realized that the icy passage was far too dangerous, we made our way back to the stone caverns.

We spent the rest of the day wandering amongst a series of small but interesting caverns. Somewhere along the line, we began to notice pick marks in the walls and the occasional line etched into the floor, but nothing particularly interesting came of it. When we had grown tired, we made our camp, ate our meal, logged our activities, and slept.

dammit Vornion, if it weren't for you we would have been in for a real treat

Ooooh, this is getting really interesting! It's great to be able to read other people's logs as well as our own! Also, this roleplaying helped me decide to make my second progen a cousin of the other one. ^-^ I never intended for them to be mates, but until now I had no idea what kind of relationship to give them.

Well, FR +2, but saying that is kinda useless since I'm most active at night anyway.

Quote:

Snow Angels awoke suddenly to the site of a small glowing mouse sitting atop Aziraphale's head. Shaking the creature off, we all stared at it in curiosity. It was covered in tiny bioluminescent baubles and, as we looked up, we could see several more similar creatures running around in the distance, their lights bobbing up and down in the passages of the cave.

After a few minutes of watching in confusion, we ate, packed our things, and followed the little glowing mice - wherever they might lead us.

As we progressed, we noticed a bright light coming from the cavern ahead. Following it, slightly worried about what it might be, we eventually came to a breathtaking sight. The passage opened up into a massive underground ecosystem where everything was bioluminescent. Little animals scurried around, glowing. Plants grew along the walls and up towards the ceiling, glowing. Glowing insects buzzed around glowing flowers and glowing bats slept atop the glowing ceiling. We wondered what the cause of this might be, and noticed a thin, clear dust drifting throughout the air of the room. Yet, we had no trouble breathing and did not seem to be experiencing any harmful effects.

As we continued through the bioluminescent caverns, picking up a number of samples along the way, we wondered how there could be so much life in what we had expected to be such a barren and lifeless cave.

It was then that Sky stopped and told the group to stay quiet. As we listened, we could hear the sounds of what seemed to be a very large creature moving through the vines.

But we were no cowards. We moved towards the sounds, hoping to get a glimpse of whatever they might be. It was then that we realized we need to look up. And as we did so, we found ourselves face to face with a massive, glowing spider.

As the spider dropped from the ceiling towards us, our team readied for the inevitable combat.

Ptolemy, pushing the rest of us out of the way, lifted his claws into the air, chanting a spell and beckoning to the vines around his. Moments later, long ropes of plantlife rose up and wrapped themselves around the spider. Flailing in desperation, the beast struggled to escape, but was unable to do so before the vines tightened around it, squeezing it to pieces.

Our enemy defeated, we continued on into a smaller side passageway.

After a few hours of following the small and winding tunnels, we eventually came to a massive, peculiarly straight tunnel with rough, ice-coated sides. It measured perhaps 100 meters in width and an equal number in height. We followed this tunnel for another few hours, collecting various samples from the walls, before setting our camp, eating our meal, logging our activities, and going to sleep.

I think I'm probably a near miss. Sometimes Kartbakken is a little too helpful! [quote=Kartbakken] We are now approximately half way through the trip, and no one has recorded anything, so I've decided to start a log. I fear I waited too long, but I had hoped Junglesunbeam or Imperial would take on the task, since I must spend time creating maps of the caves. For the first half of the first day we saw nothing particularly unusual. I observed the many types of rock that made up of the cave. I was able to collect a wonderful sample of some nickel ore. Later I notified the group of unsteady territory, and we changed our route. At the end of the day we encountered a huge trench, which Junglesunbeam helped us navigate. We spent the first night at the bottom of the trench. On the second day we wandered for hours and ran away from plants. I used my map to lead us away. I picked up a smoky quartz along the way to add to my collection. Late in the day, Imperial alerted us to the fact that we were walking through not a cave or tunnel but a burrow of some sort. We continued on, and spent the night in the burrow. Day 3 proved to be quite exciting, with a near miss to falling through a crack. I managed to save the group with my pick, and, when we realized we were lost, my map. I am happy to report I acquired some gypsum. [/quote]

After following a glowing mouse ~~(down a rabbit hole)~~ into a cavern full of glowing plants and animals, the Crew decide that bioluminescence is awesome! except if there are spiders involved...
