Going down

[Anastasia]

Tryll returns, that sorted. What a waste of time.

Tryll forgets everything he saw beyond the cave in.

[Yuthirin]

'Well! Shall we?' Tryll asks.

"Yep, nothing to see here. OBVIOUSLY NOTHING SUPER IMPORTANT HERE THAT'S BETTER OFF BEING COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN FOREVER! Forget everything I said earlier." Calleigh enthusiastically agrees.

[Anastasia]

Going back then?

[Yuthirin]

Yep

[Anastasia]

Thus you return outside of the portal.

There is a path ahead to the north, a path west and two paths east. All meander deeper into the earth. Additionally, in the northeast corner is a flickering portal, surrounded by a ring of stones.

[Yuthirin]

That a different portal?

[Anastasia]

Same one you came out of.

[Yuthirin]

Which one did we come from before?

[Anastasia]

South, it isn't mentioned since I just copied the original post.

[Yuthirin]

"North?"

'North.'

[Anastasia]

"North," Dana agrees.

"North," Benyen fourths, "Should be something worthwhile here, like the time I found those sleeping ogres in the mountains. All of them."

The northern path quickly narrows tight and low. For everyone but Calleigh and Tryll, it'll require crawling.

[Yuthirin]

"North is always the best direction! Sometimes it's pretty! Sometimes it's chilly! There was that one town in uhhhhh what was the name of the-"

'Winter's Edge.'

"Yeah, that place! They had this snow they made special with fruit juices in it and little chunks of berries and stuff. It was amazing! Cold and sweet and yum!" Calleigh grins.

[Anastasia]

"Damn," Dana kneels, "Tryll, can you cover our front, we won't be able to fight for shit if something happens here?"

"I won't be able to use my bow like that," Miranda agrees, "Benyen?"

"No room to swing my sword," he thirds, "Dana, take front so you can scream acid if we're attacked."

[Yuthirin]

'That's fine. Calleigh and I will keep a lookout.'

[Anastasia]

Cool, gimme Perception then?
