The cave system is extensive, but the path is relatively straightforward. About two hours later the two will finally exit the caves and into a forest clearing, the cottage nowhere in sight. the ooc Play this out as you wish. For every 15 minutes spent in the caves, roll 1 d4 to determine the amount of damage they receive in the caves from falling, tripping, bats, etc. You can roll post-by-post or all at once.

They made their way along slowly but steadily. After a few minutes, Jerry had started humming quietly under his breath, concentrating on his limping steps as he leaned on Dylon for support. The occasional stumble sent pain up his leg, but he carried forth. They just... needed to follow the light.
"Flushed down, in the underground~
Tryin' hard not to make a sound~"
He sang suddenly, hit by inspiration, but his impromptu song was cut short as he gave a strangled yelp as he tripped again.

Dylon winced anytime Jerry stumbled, empathetic pain felt in his place. He was lucky he only hurt his hand. Walking for so long had to be painful. Just how long was this path?
"What song is that? I don't recognize it.." He asked him after some time had passed, wincing as a bat rammed into the back of his head.
At least he hoped it was a bat.

"Woah there!" Jerry ducked as the bats flew by, giving a tight whine in his throat as the bats hit him as well. They scrambled forward, away from the growing torrent of black fluttering shapes, and once they had caught their breaths, he panted, "I was just... making it up. Doesn't seem the bats are fans ahahaha..."

"Wow.. yeah let's keep the tunes to a minimum... or a halt." Bats did not seem to be music fans.
The further they walked, the more it seemed the end would be a long way off. Many more stumbled and trips occurred. Dylon stubbed his to on an unseen rift in the path, earning a short yelp and then groan.

"Ahaha... s-sorry, it's um. A nervous habit." Jerry laughed weakly, but looked quietly depressed in the light of the flashlight as they made their way along. A stumble here, a catch there, more bats...
"Careful!" He tried his best to help keep Dylon from stumbling off the cliff side of the crumbling path. Even if both the trainee's legs were functional, the guy was starting to look worse for wear. "We've got to be almost there..." He managed, limping forward to try to lead the way just as the ground started to rumble, a rock flying down to knock the back of his head.

Jerry's help was appreciated, since Dylon was not tumbling down another hole. That was always a good thing. Dylon felt the need to fuss over Jerry as a rock slammed the back of his head, instinctively looking it over for abrasions. "Too dark in here.. remind me to check that when we get out of here.
Dylon banged his injured wrist on some un-forseen jutting out rocks in the walls, wincing each time it happened.
"Soon, man... soon."

"I'll be fine. Let's... let's just get out of here..." Jerry winced, rubbing the back of his head, but hurried as fast as his injuries would let him. After a while of stumbling, quiet cursing, and nearly plummeting to their death, Jerry was laughing under his breath. "You know... I used to be... cripplingly afraid of the dark, you know? Ahahahahaha.... Good thing I've discovered a lot worse things to be afraid of by now"

"Did you? I never would have guessed." Dylon smiled, "Although that's a sad way of putting it..." It would have been a nicer story if he simply overcame his fear.
The young man tripped, smacked into walls and was bitten by bugs along the way. By the time they reached the end, finding a wooded clearing, he was near done.
"Wow.. how long were we in there?" He panted, taking a breather by kneeling on the ground.

"It felt like... forever. I don't know." Jerry panted, flopping down beside him to rest. He squinted around, pushing his scratched glasses up his nose to try to take in the landscape. There was... definitely no sign of where they had started. "Shoot. Do you um. Have a compass? How are you holding up?"

HP: 6 "No compass. Sorry." Dylon smiled apologetically, "I'm um.. tired." A friendly but tired laugh escaped him, his bones seeming to ache even worse now that he was resting. "40 foot fall, impromptu dip in the water, and a cave of wonders. What's next for us?"

"It's... certainly been a day. Hopefully... we can figure out a way to find the others..." Jerry grunted, carefully removing the shoe on his wounded foot with a wince that made him hang his head against his chest for a moment. Then, carefully began wrapping the swollen ankle with his tattered, bloodstained orange scarf. "Do you.... need a splint or anything? I don't have any proper runics with me..."

The sun had already set by the time they made it out, leaving them with a depressing choice: stay and camp in the middle of these likely hostile woods, or wander the unfamiliar terrain in search of their party?

"Um.. my wrist hurts but as long as I on't use it too much, I should be fine. I'm more worried about your ankle. Is your head feeling okay?" He tried to divert the attention from himself, leaning over to see if Jerry was bleeding at all.
"It's dark. We should just.. wait for daylight again. The others will be here for five days, right? We'll be fine. I hope. Besides, we could both use some rest." Dylon swallowed, scratching his head. "That is.. if you agree with me." He forgot there was a kind of pecking order here.

"We'll... stay here. I don't think... I could walk another step tonight." He sighed, brows furrowing as he glanced around in the moonlight. "Do you see anything we could use for cover?" He fidgeted in his coat pockets again, finding just a few scraps of jerky and some rather soggy peanut butter crackers. "Provisions are slim, I'm afraid, unless you brought anything... I can keep first watch if you need some sleep."
