Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Since noone will say yay or nay to spending most of our gold...))

Thorifin went to the man at the desk, purchased the Belt of Hill Giant Strength, and swiftly equipped it. He then grabbed the small halfling by the collar of his robe and pulled him from the store, seeing the greedy gleam in his eyes. "Off to the Underworld," he stated, leading the way to the destination, since the elf had gone ahead.

Kal felt himself tugged away from the store and saw it was the self-righteous Dwarf. He grumpily followed along, having little to no choice.

Thorifin lead them to the dark tunnels, nodding once to the commander at the recognition, out of respect. He then turned to the Elven lady once they were in the darkness, knowing she was the one that was going to lead them down here. He began to reach for his holy symbol of Murgoth around his neck to pray for light amongst this darkened path, but then she offered the natural resource of some berries. Thorifin knew Murgoth would rather him use the natural resources of the land and save the blessing for a battle, so he accepted the kind offering and ate some of the berries. He saw red heat signatures from bodies and cold blues on walls and other things. Even then though, they were faint signals and seem to only barely escape the darkness. He turned to the elven body signature and nodded in acknowledgement of being ready to head out and in appreciation for the sweet gesture of help.

Kal smiled at the darkness at first, but then dropped the happy demeaor when it became pitch black. He wasn't scared of the dark, in fact, he usually loved the dark. But in this instance, it was forboding for him. Creatures that lived down here did not focus on sight as thier main sense, therefore, his specialty of vanishing in front of his enemies eyes didn't help down here. They focused on other senses, which made his job more difficult. He ate a few berries and then began to head toward the front of the group, only stopping beside the elf for acknowledgement of his skills for trap detecting. He knew she would lead the direction, but he would watch for traps. He was feeling very competitive right now beside the elf that was also proficient in his skill.

((Is letting Kal know that stuff about creatures that don't use sight godmoding? I figure he lived in the city, so he dealt with dogs and the like, so I figured he might know this stuff... but... Idk...))

Erron glanced at the berry skeptically, he wasn't too well versed in herbalism, aside from knowing which leaves are good for....finishing and which weren't. He shrugged and tossed one in his mouth, chewed a bit and swallowed. Within a few seconds red blooms began to emerge before his eyes, it was rather strange but at least he could make out the cavern walls and some of the nearby party members. He looked around a bit while listening to Tjaden's question.

"I have a feeling that while the wild things that live here aren't exactly going to be friendly, if a sentry spots us and alerts the enemy, we will soon find a much more difficult foe than nature intended." He said softly to avoid making an echo.

Tjaden nodded. It was a small thing, but the knight could handle the wanton bloodlust of a wild animal with a sturdy response. However, if they had to deal quietly with an encounter with an enemy, Tjaden was not the most skilled in stealthily dispatching opposing forces. He stalked along brooding this eventuality.

Kal nodded at the eye idea, knowing that was the safest route of exploration. Then followed behind the eye's path as soon as it was known to be clear. He saw the blue coloration of the walls leading to three tunnels. At which point, he turned back to the group, more so to the elf lady and Thorifin. "Which way?" he asked them softly, since they were the experts down here.

Thorifin turned to the elven woman at the fork in the tunnel. He'd been deep in the tunnels, but this was slightly farther than he had ever gone. Usually the dwarves weren't stupid enough to follow the dark elves all the way back down. They were smarter than that. Following the dark elves would mean ultimate demise since they knew their land better than any dwarf ever would. He politely waited for a response for Kal's question, which he would have worded more politely, but Kal's wording got the point across.

((It has a post or two left in it, assuming it doesn't get destroyed))

The elvish woman glared from behind her blindfold at the halfling.

"I cannot say. These tunnels were not here the last time I ventured this far down, only one was present on my last journey. Due to obvious reasons, I cannot tell which of these is the original tunnel, as the topography of this cavern has changed... The only manner that I could tell would be after we entered it and found the subterranean river that is a decent trek away, sadly even my enhanced hearing cannot detect the movement of the water for some reason..."

"I cannot determine which is the correct path, but yes, I can determine certain characteristics of each of the tunnels."

The left path seems to radiate a small amount of heat as well as the distant reflection of light.

The center path seems the darkest, but there are markings on the walls, impossible to decipher by anyone in the group.

The far right path emanates a faint scent of pheromones and sweat while no sounds can be heard.

"I will see if the path is safe with the eye, Though note. I'm not that good at spotting traps so there may be some." Selce sends the Wizard's eye to scout out the center tunnel.
