Tryll blocks with another chained disintegrate!

Aaand like that, more of it's dust in the wind. As it passes by safely, "Good!" Miranda calls, already heading down after them. "Let's show them that no amount of rock and ruin will stop us."

Debonah's smiling a bit as she heads down, "Oh, this is going to be good. An intelligent enemy is one worth defeating."

[Yuthirin]

"Yay! TWO dragons! Twice the loots!" Calleigh cheers as they proceed.

[Anastasia]

Down you fly - until a massive crash echos again, more dust thrown into the air. Everything is silent after that, no noise whatsoever. Merely silence, merely the stillness of the earth.

You reach the bottom - a dead end with nothing but stony rubble here, littered about from the collapse.

[Yuthirin]

True Seeing?

[Anastasia]

You don't see any awry with true seeing.

[Yuthirin]

'Five minute rest while we search the walls.' Tryll & Calleigh spread to either side of the cavern, phasing into the walls and rotating throughout, checking both walls & floor for passages.

[Anastasia]

Perception.

[Anastasia]

Checking the walls, you find narrow tunnels - only big enough for a rat or raccoon to pass through, perhaps. The walls are honeycombed with them.

[Yuthirin]

'The walls are filled with small tunnels. Nobody but Calleigh could comfortably fit through them, though. We may need to go back up a bit.' Tryll says.

[Anastasia]

"Unless the dragons can shapeshift," Benyen speaks up, "I've met dragons that can do that. In which case we may not be able to follow them any more."

Debonah scowls, "Like rats in the walls?"

'We may need to,' Miranda replies to your words, "At least into a situation where we aren't so vulnerable, or return later with better protections."

[Yuthirin]

'I could disintegrate toward the cavern I found them in before, but that will take time, will not be subtle, and will use up a significant portion of my manifestation ability.' Tryll warns, 'It WOULD give Debonah a bit to recover, though.'

[Anastasia]

"In other words, our choices are all poor," Benyen agrees.

"If we leave now," Dana says slowly, "The assholes will be locked in here tight. We'll give them time to prepare, knowing they have an enemy willing to strike them, or pack up and leave."

[Yuthirin]

"So if we stay, a bunch of us might die. If we leave, we might lose track of the Ruby." Calleigh summarizes, "Right?"
