Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-2

[Anastasia]

With a bunch of wiggling and scraping of armor against stone, Sacchin reaches the bag! She can brace against the walls and grab it if she so desires!

[Carthrat]

Does the chimney still go up?!

[Anastasia]

The chimney goes up another one hundred feet. At the edge of your vision, you can juuuuuuuuust make out what looks to be a metal grating blocking off...something. You can't see from here.

[Carthrat]

For the time being, then, Sacchin simply tries to grab the bag with one hand, hoping her legs and other arm can keep her steady!

[Anastasia]

This is quite easy! The bag is gotten! Ooooh, it's a bit heavy, like something worthwhile is in it!

[Carthrat]

Sacchin shakes it a little and tries to peer inside!

[Anastasia]

There are two things inside. One is a dark, smoothly polished stone. The other is a steel plated key.

[Carthrat]

Pocketing them should be simple enough, and then Sacchin faces the daunting prospect of trying to climb towards the grate at the top- although that might be impossible (and in the end it may all be for nothing.)

[Anastasia]

As Sacchin begins to climb, she feels funny. She feels heavy, very heavy. Like she's carrying a huge load on her back. It makes climbing slower, though not impossible at about half of her previous rate.

[Carthrat]

She must be tired. It's not unreasonable, and she continues trying to reach the very top of the chimney!

[Anastasia]

It takes a lot of time and effort, but Sacchin reaches the top! A thick, well made mesh grating blocks further progress. As Sacchin's muscles strain to keep her up, she can peer past it. She can see nothing but darkness, an inky black darkness.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin pounds on the mesh a couple of times, hope fading as she realises it's probably well-made (where's shoddy craftsmanship when you need it?)

[Anastasia]

It's every so slightly loose to a weak pounding. Perhaps, just perhaps if you hit it hard enough...!

[Carthrat]

Sacchin is certainly willing to try bashing it harder!

[Anastasia]

Sacchin hits it! It doesn't budge to this attempt!
