"So, Mr. All-Powerful-Noble, you don't happen to have a magical orb on you?"

[Fyuria'sLeo]

Zerva looked out in shear fear as the person he was supposed to be protecting fell.

"Twill! He yelled crawling into the space.

"kitten, this is smaller than it looked." He moved towards the trap and looked into the darkness of the hole that was there.

"Twill, are you ok? Answer me!" Zerva yelled.

[Yoko]

"I don't like the sound of this."

He said as he looked at Skadi.

"We're running out of time. It'll be morning soon."

"...and questions will need answers."

Skadi gives Julien a sideways look. She sighs, and nods, walking over to give the still-sleeping barkeep a nudge with her foot. "The answers always depend on what questions you ask, kid." Turning to face him, she crosses her arms, frowning a little in thought.

"... So, the youngest member of what will be our crew just became Zombie-Bait. We gonna fix this?"

[Muffins?]

"I see no need too, nothing lost nothing gained." Murs answered Skadi's question before he bent down looking down the long tunnel. He slipped into a crawl and maneuvered his way down the dark passage way.

"Move it cowboy we got work to do" he said nudging the man in front of him.

[Fyuria'sLeo]

"What do you mean? We cant just leave her down there!" Zerva yelled pushing the man who nudged him.

"We've got to do something." Zerva said in an angry voice.

"Well, if these catacombs are anything like the other dwarven ruins I've encountered in my travels, then we should be able to access the dungeon, where she most likely is, once we enter the door."

[ForgottenBushido]

"So, Mr. All-Powerful-Noble, you don't happen to have a magical orb on you?"

"What makes you think I have the key?" he said with some disdain.

"Mur, what do you see down there? Can we all make it through?"

He then turned his attention to Skadi. "If we don't help her, she'll have plenty of the restless undead to deal with down there."

[Muffins?]

Murs was slightly taken aback when he was pushed be quickly recovered and gave the guy a nice hard shove.

"Look kid, this isn't a rescue mission. There was an inherent danger to accepting the job, there was no guarantee that everyone would make it out, and if someone was stupid enough to get caught then best of luck to them" He stood as tall as the cramped cave would let him and let his hand trail slowly to his back. He knew if they got into a fight in this cramped space he would have the upper hand. 'And this is why you don't use a scythe.' he thought to himself as he felt the pommel of his dagger slip into his fingertips.

Falling back from being pushed again he slowly got up and looked the man in his eyes.

"I promised I would protect her, I dont care about this stupid mission. Now move so I can check the hole to see if we can fit." Zerva yelled with his southern accent.

Zerva moved to the hole and started looking around it, noticing he could probably fit down it with out much trouble.

[ForgottenBushido]

Julien stepped over to the entrance to the secret passage, and cupped his hands over his mouth like a megaphone and began to shout.

"HEY! Are you deaf? I asked you a question god damn it!"

It was clear that the inquisitor was beginning to get irritated and was feeling a measurable degree of panic.

He looked over his shoulder at Skadi and gave her a look of "Do Something!"

Julien growing up had relied on Skadi many times to get them out of trouble, and in the many years since they were children nothing had changed.

[Muffins?]

"Well mister inquisitor, can't see much of anything." He said taking his hand off of his dagger and bending over the hole.

"It's not straight down, it looks like a chute of some sort. As for the door, from here it looks like I could pick that lock but I'd need to inspect it further, unfortunately I have something in my way." He yelled back to Julien and turned his eyes towards the man desperate to save his girlfriend at the last part of his answer. He began to get annoyed that this man hadn't gotten the hint yet and grabbed him by his shoulder shoving him down the hole.

"Looks like we'll fit though."

Balian snorted one last time before he was awoken by Skadi's nudge. "Huh..wha-?" He got up and went to where everyone was crowded around. "So, you found a hidden doorway, huh?" He just glimpsed Zerva being pushed by Murs. "Huh.... Another trap hole." He mused.

"Well, why aren't we movin' anywhere? The hole most likely leads to the sewers then to the drain just on the side of the castle walls. Doubt you'll find naught but giant freaky mice and spiders in there...."

[Fyuria'sLeo]

As the man grabbed him Zerva was forced down the hole.

"Ahhhhhhh what the hell?!" He screamed sliding down the chute.

As he tried to slow himself down he noticed it was impossible and just kept sliding faster.

After a few more feet of falling he flew out into an open area and landed on something soft.

Noticing that the barman finally decided to join the group.


"'This castle is built upon old catacombs...she's got more than mice and spiders to deal with down there."

[Yoko]

"Oh for the love of--" Skadi groans, why must (almost) everyone she meets turn out to be immature idiots? "I swear, they're just like children, this is absolutely ridiculous.." With not much thought she slips into the pathway, and places one gloved hand on Murs' back.

"Guess we don't have much choice, now." And with that, she pushes him down the hole.

"Hey, Julien!" With a glance back at the entrance, she grins. "Looks like we can bypass the door."

[Miss Soupy]

Looking around, Twill found she had landed in some sort of stockpile room. Pulling out her bag, she took some matches and lit the lamp she found. It seemed like no one had been down here for a long time, given the state of the dust and spider webs on everything. There were wood piles, bags of flower, boxes of candles, tins full of dried food. Whoever had created a room like this seemed to have been planning to live down here for a long time.

One side of the room seemed to be made into a makeshift office. There were maps and compasses, scrolls of parchment, and bookshelves in this area. Carefully, she unraveled one of these scrolls, and she couldn't help but gasp at what she saw. It was the blueprint of a ship.

An airship.

Balian sighed as the other 2 jumped down through the chute. He looked at Ragnarok. "Well, you gonna pick the lock or join 'em?" With that he jumped down the chute and joined the others with a deadpan "Whee."

"It appears that choice has been made for us."

Julien stands aside from the entrance, gives the barman a bow and hold his arms out toward the hole.

-Ahem- "After you.." he said with a smile.

[Muffins?]

Murs felt the girls hand on his well shaped ass and grinned before he was shoved down the hole. 'kittening great' he thought as fingers slipped off from the ledge and he slid down the chute. He pushed his glove protected hands on either side of him and his boots slowing him down to a comfortable speed. By the time he reached the end he was able to safely hop out and onto his feet avoiding the mess of limbs that was the Cowboy.

"I swear to god, her mother was a hamster" he murmured to himself and glared through the wall at where he thought she would be standing around now. He quickly turned away and quickly checked to make sure he had all his gear, pulling out a few matches from his small bag he struck it against the bricks next to him and illuminated the room around him.

"Well this is interesting."

Getting up from the hey he landed in he flicked his finger.

As a did this a small flame burst from the tips of them and slightly illuminated the area around.

As he looked around he gasped in amazement.

"Holy kitten, this place is amazing!" Zerva said looking towards Murs with an angry face.
