Destiny now lies in the hands of...

[Ebiris]

"We will. Thank you for taking us this far," Alicia says, advancing now around the bend into the area where none but the world serpent are permitted. It's for a good cause, though!

d100 real quick.

You go around the bend and in. It's quiet at first - no sounds, just an expanding passage. Soon enough it opens up into a vast burrow tunnel, stretching in both directions more miles than you can see. The stone here is perfectly smooth, as if polished down and smoothed over. The ground is so polished it's slippery, your reflections seen where ever you look.

[Ebiris]

"Which direction do you think, Syala?" Alicia asks, getting big once they're out here. And recasting sensual blessing.

Syala looks around before she points to the left, "That way," she says, taking to the air. "Let's fly, it's faster and we have a lot of ground to cover.

[Ebiris]

Alicia takes off in that direction with Syala then, compressing space as they go to speed the journey.

[Anastasia]

How fast will that make you?

[Ebiris]

Basically move speed of 200 plus an extra 3500 each round covered via shortening distance.

[Anastasia]

You begin to move fast down the tunnel, around turns and bends. You travel it for perhaps a few minutes, miles covered in the blink of an eye. As you do, you begin to notice it - the ground is starting to shake below.

[Ebiris]

"Hold up," Alicia pauses and presses a foot to the ground to see what she can feel.

3 mile tremorsense.

[Anastasia]

Something vast and gigantic is coming from far away -  miles and miles, but it's moving lightning fast and the earth trembles in terror of it.

[Ebiris]

"It's coming, get ready," Alicia warns tersely.

"Brace," Antenora seconds, spear at the ready.

Syala just smiles as you hear it - a roar loud enough to shake the tunnels, a cry of pure fury and anger. In an instant it thunders forward, covering miles in the blink of an eye. The vast gray Jormugandr looms above you, so mighty and vast as to fill the entire hall. It is like a mountain given form, a serpent surely large enough to coil around an entire country and squeeze it dead - or perhaps an entire world, for it goes on farther than you can see. Eyes of blazing green stare down at the three of you, mere specks before the vast wyrm.

[Ebiris]

Seeing how angry he looks, Alicia has a moment to think that just perhaps, they may have miscalculated their approach on this one.

"Jormungandr. We mean no offence but our need is dire. We must confront the guardian who wears your face!" she calls out, bolstering her words in the face of the world serpent's immensity.
