Easily enough done.

'We're in,' Emily says, 'Now we just follow the caverns.'

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and continues on, sticking to stealth until they get to a good place to send out the lizards.

[Anastasia]

So that I can adjudicate this, what do you consider a good spot?

[Iron Dragoon]

Somewhere that provides hiding for the non-stealthy people, but as close as I can get to help minimize the distance the lizards have to go.

[Anastasia]

On you go. Ahead is a larger chamber - filled with old bones and remnants. The winds blow softer here, yet have the occasional gust.

Alyssa can feel it immediately. Souls hover in the air, just past common visibility.

[Iron Dragoon]

So I haven't messed with souls much. What's going on here? What can I roll or do to figure it out?

[Anastasia]

K:R.

[Anastasia]

This is highly unusual. Normally souls become larvae or other such things in a Lower Plane. They don't just hover here under normal circumstances. Something's trapped them here, stopped any sort of final judgment or rest for them.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa relays it to the others and then turns to work at figuring out what's going on.

[Anastasia]

'My money,' Bastian begins, 'Is that they're hunt victims unable to move on.'

'It probably is,' Emily agrees, 'But I just checked and not all of them are evil. Some are but some aren't. There's innocents mixed up in there.'

Lady Honeydip's mental voice is composed, 'Then we free them, one way or another.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Let's just make sure this isn't a trap. Eyes open for anything. '

[Anastasia]

'Which means we free them when it's time,' Bastian points out, 'And not before.'

'I know,' Emily's voice is a little sour, 'But soon.'

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, 'Tower first then?'

[Anastasia]

'Tower first,' Emily agrees, 'We'll free them on the way out.'
