Excavation

[Cifero Windtail]

"I'd prefer you didn't," said a voice slightly behind Sij... close enough to hear, but just far enough away so that none of their weapons would reach. "I didn't come to be killed, just to help."


(I won't be able to get on much, just a warning... my parents are monopolizing my laptop.  )

[Sij]

Sij turned around quickly and tried to make out the supposed companion behind him. Making sure to be a safe distance.. Just in case.

           "You must be the missing one. Welcome to our group. We will make small talk soon enough. Just stay close, we don't know what could happen in here, these buildings are very old. And who knows what may dwell in here."

Although the new person joining us surprised him quite a bit, he still plans on protecting them just the same as the others. Innocent until proven guilty is a phrase that Sij goes by when it comes to who to protect and who to destroy.

           "You've given us quite a shock, it probably would have been better to yell when you entered the building. Sneaking up like that could have proven to be a very big disaster." Sij chuckled slightly.

           "Either way, welcome to our group. But lets get going lest we lose the others." And with that Sij continued on his way down the stairs with the rest, motioning back for the new friend to come closer. "Make sure to stay close."

[Suzumibachii]

Spinning around suddenly at the sound of a new voice behind the group, and immediately reaching back and pulling her daggers out. She looked at the new comer. Her scarlet eye now uncovered by the spinning motion giving off a very faint barely visible bioluminecence.

Hearing his voice, She sheathed her daggers again and turned to move down the stairwell calling back. "Next time dont sneak up on people down here,Everybody is a little tense since we cant sense thing as well down here"

[Døvu]

Dovu laughed after the scare by the new adventurer. "See, the only thing we have to fear down here is ourselves."
Just then, the brittle stairs creaked louder than usual and started to cave in. Dovu nearly fell down into even heavier darkness, but caught the stair in front of him. Suzzen's bioluminescence mixed with a rush of adrenaline made things much more visible for the time being. He wasn't sure what happened to the others behind him and Suzzen, but he quickly started to pull himself up.

[Sij]

In a flurry of action, Sij immediately grabs both lizards by their cloths and throws them behind him as far as possible. as soon as that happened the stairs broke just under his feet. Sij manages to barely grab the ledge. Cutting his hand on the shattered steps. His strength is great but because of the shape of the stairs they are difficult to hold on to. With blood dripping from his hand he begins to slip. So he quickly grabs as much as he can with his other hand in an attempt to hold on longer. His grip now is better but not by much.

              "My new friend, can you give me a hand here?" Asking the new feline in our group. "I've got the strength but not the grip. Haha"

[Colioli4]

Ghorlo is surprised by the newcomer, but not that much. When he walks down the stairs next to Suzzen, he is puzzled by a creaking noise under them... Without realizling fast enough that they are in danger, Sij is already there, gabbing them both and pulling them back to safety. He falls himself, and Ghorlo is scared that his rescuer has dropped to his dead, but Sij's voice is enough to prove otherswise. Because of his blindness, Ghorlo doesn't dare approaching the gap, not sure if he knows where the edge of the pit is. So he waits for the others to come and rescue Sij. However, as he steps back, a shiver goes through his body as he feels a dark force nearby. Something... strange, and ancient... Evil...The others may say whatever they like, there is SOMETHING with us down here...

[Suzumibachii]

Hearing the creaking noises,and feeling herself being thrown back. Taking a moment to find her balance as she looks around trying to see where everybody is. Throwing off the cloak on her arm she moves closer to the edge of the whole. "Are you OK?, Quickly grab my hand" She extended her arm toward the human now dangling. "I cant see the bottom, so if you fall i dont know how far it will be" using her tail she wraps it around one of the still intact railings.

[Døvu]

"Is everyone alright?" Dovu said once he pulled himself to safety. The gap was a good six feet wide, and would prove a challenging leap of faith for anyone. Then he thought of something. That might have been our only way out.
"We should find something to use as a bridge..."

[Beatnory]

Beatnory had no idea where he was and what he is doing. the only thing what he know for sure is that he needs food and water. fast.
step for step to somewehere to uknown. when beat decided to give up he heart something. it wasn't close to him but there was something.
I could be food so he has to go. quickly he ran towards the sound.

[Sij]

Sij grabs Suzzans arm and uses his cut hand to push himself up as he pulls on her arm. Once he was safe and sound on the not so safe stairs he realizes how much of a challenge this may be. The gap was huge, he might be able to clear it, but he would have to get a running start. And he's pretty sure the stairs would break where he lands anyways. So that's a no go.

             "Thanks, friend, for your arm. Is everybody else okay? Is anybody hurt?" As he was saying so Sij ripped a bit off of his cloak, just a small strip and wrapped it around his hand. Thankfully it's his shield hand. So he doesn't need it for his sword. It's not extremely deep but he should still keep it wrapped.

             "So, how are we going to pass this?" Sij chuckled a bit. "Do we have any source of light even?"

[Beatnory]

beatnory stumbled over a stone. he could almost cry so much hungry he was. He stood up and wiped the filth of his coat.
he tryed to look around but everything seemed blurred. probably due to the hunger.
with difficulty he could see a building left of him. without thinking about it he did enter the building.
beat didn't had energy to worry about where he was and looking around. just walk, everyone what he did.
after a walk he saw a group of furriers. they where doing something but beat didn't care. mabye they have food.
with his last energy he ran to them.

(I hope this is okay)

[Døvu]

Hearing the footsteps coming quickly Dovu's heart began to race and his blood flushed cold from his skin. He took out his tomahawk and prepared for anything that could be coming down the stairs. "Somethings coming!" He shouted, getting to the front of the group up the stairs. Beatnory bumped into him nearly sending him tumbling down the stairs. It was just another furry. "Jesus, you scared the crap out of me....let alone nearly killed me. Dont run in here..."
He gazed back over the hole. "Welcome to the group. We're in a bit of a situation."
Dovu looked to the side of the wall and saw the old rusted handrails that stretched along the wall. He sat down over the edge and grabbed a hold of them. "I think this will hold." He tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end to the group expecting someone to catch him incase he fell. He started hanging off the handrails and slowly worked his way to the other side of the gap. The rails creaking and bending violently.

[Suzumibachii]

Whispering to herself "Wasn't planning to use this in front of others again" Reaching back to her dagger and very discreetly making a small cut on her arm. Moving some of the blood onto her markings. The Marking on her arm shifting a little as she does, cringing in pain, She looks around to see there isn't anybody standing to close to her "I am sorry about this...." Whispering in a language she barely understands the marking on her arm and eyelid starts to glow with a dull eery purple light, not very bright but enough to illuminate some of the stairwell and the hole.

Her breathing much heavier "Do what you need to do I cant hold this for very long". She noticed Dovu making his way across the gap with a rope, she cringed again. Using some the power she had acquired clearly having a heavy cost

[Colioli4]

There it is again. The dark, satanic aura. He smells blood as well. Lizard-blood. It is the Lizard-woman. She produces the dark signs, speak a forbidden language. A slight growl comes out of Ghorlo's throat. Let's... keep an eye on her... I don't trust this devilish magic... or whatever it is... I can take care of her if she threatens us... or herself...

[Sij]

Standing firm Sij grabs the rope that Dovu tossed over. Not worrying too much about the new fur that just arrived at the moment. His primary concern was Dovu. Gripping the rope tight and lowering his stance in case anything happened.

           "Just take it slow Dovu. I've got the rope and I'm sure I could hold you but lets not experiment with that." Directing his speech at the new fur he spoke in a somewhat lively tone. "You've arrived at a bad time right now my friend. Just take a seat until this is all sorted out. I say the same for the rest of you, take a seat and gather your nerves. Everything will be fine."

Sij returns his focus to the situation at hand. Dovu is the only one with enough experience to guide us. Or at least that's what he is assuming.
