Beginning Deciding to take a break from your training and lessons, you have wandered off to the sea side. How you travel to the shore is up to your imagination, but when you have finally arrived at your designation it is late afternoon. As you stroll along the sandy shore and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves beating upon the shore, a glimmer inland catches your eye. Looking towards it you see what ever sparkled has vanished into a dark opening in the rocky hillside next to you.
As you wander over towards the hill, you can see that while it might be a tight squeeze, you think you can enter into the dark tunnel beyond.
Please write your reactions to this prompt and reasons for being here.
If you decide to leave without entering, then give a reason why and go to Quit.
If you wish to continue inside the tunnel, also give a reason why and go to Entering.
The outside world was scary, especially when he was on his own. The port city was very close to where they lived, and Kasen had often regaled him of his tales from inside the city, but Tohru had virtually no interest in such things. Too many people. Surely any one of them could see what a horrible mistake he was and want to lash out at him for it... So, no. Rather than go directly into town, the Dovaa skirted around it, finding himself walking along the beach. Feeling the sand squish through his toes was a pleasant and welcome feeling. And the beach seemed much safer than if he'd went the other way into the Terra Expanse! Everything seemed natural and normal... The sound of the waves against the sand, the wind whirling about, and the chirping of sea birds... He'd even go so far as to call it enjoyable...
But wait? A glance off to the side revealed something sparkling, that wasn't water or sand. Whatever it was had disappeared quickly, though, vanishing through a hole in a rocky outcrop. Tohru hesitantly took a step toward it. In a place like this, it seemed unlikely that anything dangerous would be lurking... And something glistening like that surely couldn't be evil. Why not follow it? He was supposed to be on an adventure, after all...

Entering As you squeeze into the dark tunnel, you can see a little in front of you. There are small animal tracks in the dirt beneath you. Wiggling your way slowly through the tunnel, you come upon a side tunnel. Both trails have animal tracks, though the path forward seems more traveled. Will you continue forward or turn and go down the side tunnel? Or have you had enough and want to crawl backwards and leave?
Once again, please respond to this prompt, what are your character's thoughts and feelings as they travel through this dark cramped tunnel.
If you
A) go forward, Go to "A: Forward,"
B) go down the side tunnel, Go to "B: Side Tunnel"

B: Side Tunnel Deciding to take this side tunnel, you squirm about and crawl through this tight space. As you squirm through the dark twisting tunnel; its rough walls scratch you with the sharp protruding rocks.
As you travel along this path you notice that it gradually slopes downwards. After a while, you see the darkness lighten. There is something ahead of you! As you crawl faster towards the light you finally see the tunnel suddenly open up.
RP response then go to "Cavern Room"

Cavern Room Looking around at your surroundings you see a small cavern light up from a hole in the ceiling. Tree roots have forced their way into this cave and opened up a path for light and water. A small pond has formed beneath the opening. In the middle of it you see a tiny island. It is covered in junk. Some rags, broken bottles and broken jewelry. Also amid the pile you can spot something sparkling in the light. The only openings that you can leave or enter this room from are from a tunnel that comes out half way up the wall or a tunnel that leads off into the dark again.
What do you do? What are your character's thoughts?
Do you:
A) Approach the pond and its pile? Go to "Loot"
B) Leave? Go to "Leaving B" if you wish go out the tunnel halfway up the cavern wall or "Leaving A" if you wish to go out the tunnel in the wall.

Loot! Approaching the pile, you wade through the cold pond waters. It is not deep and you can see small fish swim away from your noisy intrusion. As you reach the pile, you can see it is mostly rocks and trash gathered by some small creature, but amidst the trash you find an Ayrala and Peisio Dragon Orb! (one for each participant)
Now to leave. Go to "Leaving B" if you wish go out the tunnel in the middle of the wall or "Leaving A" if you wish to go out the tunnel in the wall.

Leaving A As you leave the cave behind you and crawl through the dark winding tunnel the sharp rocks protruding from the walls scratch and gouge you. It gradually slopes upwards, back towards the surface. After a while, you reach another tunnel. Looking down you can see the tracks that you made earlier. Following them out, you squeeze out back onto the surface. The sun is now on the horizon.
