 'You have found yourself in one of the lowest levels of the mountain. A colony of stone huts litters the top of a impressively large structure. The area is lit only by torch light and the figures of people can be seen moving around. Most seem tired and despondent as they move. Many can be seen carrying or using mining equipment. Unlike every where else in the city there seems only to be people of ashy gray skin, you don't remember seeing these people any where else in the city.

Shinken made his way to the bottom of the pit and quickly moved off into the crowd of huts. He could feel his stomach rumbling and he must have looked exhausted. He would try to find sanctuary among the people here, shunned by the world above. he approached a grey skinned individual and spoke his request. "There wouldn't happen to be a place where I could find something to eat and a place to sleep for an hour or two would there?" If he could integrate himself with these people maybe he could find a way into prison from down here.

Several plump, gray skinned women will surround you and direct you to a hut. Overwhelmed by them, your clothes will be removed before being pulled into a tub of warm water where they will scrub and clean you. Once finished food will be brought to you on a table and trey, they will indicate to go to the next room when you're done before departing.
In the next room you'll find a gray robe and a plush bed but little in ways of furnishings. You may sleep there.

Shinken was surprised at the level of hospitality he had received from the Irikura. They had insisted on giving him a bath and then they had brought him food. Which he gladly devoured. When he was finished he was lead to a room with a plush bed.On top of that he found a plush robe which he donned happily. There were no other furnishings, but he didn't care. The bed looked so warm and inviting that he collapsed into it and quickly fell asleep.

A time later you find yourself floating in a reservoir of cool water. Your body feels oddly light and relaxed, as if the waters themselves are cleansing you of any ailments. You can hear the steady sounds of mining in the distance. You awaken to the rhythmic sounds of metal against stone. You notice that you have been covered in a warm blanket of furs, the origin of which you are unsure of. Nearby is a tray of food laid out for you. For the time being you seem to be unwatched and free to move as you see fit.

Shinken woke to the sounds of industrious mining. He felt that he was unusually warm and realized that he had been covered with furs. That was when he smelled something sweet. He looked over to see a pastry of some kind and some vegetables. He quickly got up and began to eat. It was only after he finished his food that he realized he didn't know how long he had slept. Leoman could already be getting tried. That was something he couldn't let happen. He didn't want to leave without thanking these people for their hospitality so he moved to the entrance to the hut and stepped out. He looked around seeing if there was someone he could speak with. Perhaps they would know what time it was, and maybe just maybe he had found the rebels.

Averus Ikaru
Averus watched ahead of him as he began to pick up speed, and the group of soldiers turned toward his direction and saw him running toward them. He watched as they raised their weapons and shields toward him, ready for the combat they assumed was coming toward them. Averus smirked, then turned as he put as much speed out as he could muster as he made the leap of faith to the bridge. He watched as he soared forth, looking right at the bridge...as it passed by him as he began to plumet into the darkness below.
He watched with wide eyes as he turned in mid-air upwards, looking as the bride turned into a small line quickly from the distance. Averus panicked, looking around for any sort of ledge or something to grab on to. Yet, as he looked around he saw not but air nearby that he could even touch. All Averus could do now was wait for whatever the darkness below held for him...which at this rate he felt like it would be a quick drop and a sudden stop.
Soon he slammed hard into something, knocking him out. He felt cold and wet, floating now in the water as his mind soon awakened after who knows how long. First he opened his eyes, and found that he was in a body of water. He had no real idea how he even survived the fall, but yet he felt light and relaxed. He tossed it to being some kind of miracle, one he was glad to have happened after he not so well placed jump. Averus turned his head a little as he heard some kind of clinking and banging, the not so subtle sounds of mining. By that miracle, he had ended up in the mines below. He sighed a little, turning as best he could as he began to swim toward the closest place that he could get out of the water.
Averus hoped that his plummet would have the guards believe he had committed suicide and was thus dead, making things perhaps a little easier on him now. But, that did not mean he was not on guard. If he was in the mines as he believed, there might be guards here as well. He tore the bandages from his face once he was out of the water, too soaked to be able to wear anymore. He took off his wet coat as well, wearing it over his shoulder. His first goal at the moment was to get to somewhere warm, and try to dry off. So, he moved his way carefully through wherever the body of water was, heading toward the sounds of mining to see where he could get to.

Three young woman step in your way, their gray skin scantly clad in light fabrics that hug their body. They pull at you to come back inside the hut with them, their hands moving about your body generously. You can see a shore to the right of you, a dim light glowing in the distance. Before you a large structure made of a strange looking metal stands in the water. The sounds of mining comes from atop it. You notice that a pathway leads from the top of the structure to the left of you.

Shinken was surprised when the three scantily clad women stepped into his way. He didn't have much time to say anything before they were pulling him back into the hut. He didn't want to be rude to these people that had treated him so well, but he also really needed to find a way to complete his goal. Still he would need allies if he was going to get his mission done and offending these people seemed like a good way to lose allies. Perhaps it was part of their customs, though the way their hands moved across him he felt it might be something else entirely. "Thank you for the food and the bed. It was all very pleasant. Is there someone in charge I could offer my thanks to?" Shinken asked as he found himself being pulled back into the tent. He hoped that he was making the right call with these actions. Any delay risked making his objective impossible to achieve.

The women giggle, pulling you back to the bed. Pulling the furs over themselves, they lay on you on you. "You can offer your thanks to us." One says, another bringing a bowl of grapes to feed you as the final nuzzles their lips gently against the base of your throat.

Shinken began to feel as if these women wanted more than just his thanks, and while it was an enticing idea he could help but feel he would be wasting valuable time staying here with the women. "Surely women so beautiful as you must have husbands." Shinken said deftly attempting to gain information on the situation he was in. If these women did have husbands he certainly didn't want to anger them. Perhaps he could get some information out of them since they seemed to eager to please. "Are you this hospitable to all your guests?" The young gennin asked. At this point he knew he had two options, to lay here with the beautiful women, or to chance offending the Irikura and trying to find a way into the dungeons. He decided after a few moments of consideration that he would cease his weak protests and allow the women to take their 'Thanks' from him. When they were finished he spoke up again. "Truly Your hospitality knows no bounds. Your people are oppressed here, segregated and looked down upon, even though you are the backbone of this city. It is a crime that they treat you like this. I would very much like to speak to your leader and pay my respects." Shinken said trying once again to get a hold of someone in a position of authority. With how the Irikura were treated, and looked upon in this city the young gennin doubted that they would have any love for the people in power. Hopefully he could use that to his advantage and gain some assistance in his task of getting inside the dungeon.

The women simply shook their heads, one placing a finger on your lips. "You can direct your thanks to us." Another whispers, offering a grape to you.

Having already laid with these women Shinken began to wonder if they wanted to keep him here forever. Time was starting to crawl onward and he felt the clock ticking down. He would try once more before he pulled himself away from the situation. As much as he needed allies they wouldn't do him much good if he lost his shot at his goal. "And how might I show my gratitude? Because I assure you I am grateful." He said hoping to get a clue as to how he could appease these women.

"Enjoy this." The first woman purrs as she extends a grape to your lips.
"Enjoy me." The second woman hums, her gentle touch moving your hand to her chest.
"Enjoy everything." The final woman whispers, leaning forward to kiss the grape into your mouth.

Shinken gave up protesting and simply enjoyed his time with the women. It was a relaxing and restful time and he was going to need his faculties about him if he was going to figure out how to free Leoman. He couldn't let the man be executed. This place needed to change. Not only because it was unfair how the Irikura were being treated, but because there had to be a change of leadership. The way this place was run, needed to change, and he had been given his orders.
