Well of Sacrifice (IC)

The Yucatan has long been at best a marginally explored region of Latin America. As one of the great centers of the ancient Mayan culture, it holds many secrets long sought after by historians and archaeologists from around the world. The investigators are a small group of explorers whose mission is to seek out and survey sites for ruined cities and towns on the peninsula. A long lost piece of information leads the group into a dark corner of the Yucatan. What will they find and can they survive the Well of Sacrifice?

"Thank God, it's Hernando," says Anna.

"That's a relief," says David. "Maybe he was the one shooting. It could have been animals that attacked. Perhaps we should call out to him."

"Yes," replies Anna, the emotion she puts into that small word expresses her absolute relief after the vilest stress. She double checks with the others: "Shall I call to Hernando?"

"HERNANDO!" shouts Anna, and in Spanish, "what is happening? Juan is dead."

Anna's yell attracts Hernado's attention. He waves and calls back. "Senoirs and Senorita!" He then holds the rifle up in the air to make sure you can see it. "If you try and climb out I will have to shoot you!" He then aims the rifle at you and fires a shot. It hit's several feet above your group. He then backs away from the lip of cenote and disappears.

"Damn," Quinto curses.

"Sorry," he adds, forgetting Anna is there.

"Why is Hernado doing this?" the explorer wonders aloud. "Well eventually he'll have to sleep. We could try going up then. Otherwise we're sitting ducks climbing the rope up."

"Is he the only one doing this?" asks David. "If there's anyone else up there with him, they could take shifts on watch. We could wait until night to climb up. He may sleep then, and even if he's awake it would be hard for him to see us. The problem is that the bats will come out when it gets dark. We'll have to move to the other side of the cenote. Hernarndo's the one who said he didn't have a dream like the rest of us last night. Maybe he was lying. Maybe he did have one, and it got to him, drove him mad. He'd have to be mad to kill his own brother."

There is a thing that is strange. If he wanted to kill us, he didn't need to tell us, he just had to wait that we appeared and shoot when we were climbing. So, why shoot to the air? But you are right, we need to get out of here quick.

"No matter, Quinn," replies Anna when he swears. She goes to shout something else but stops herself with her mouth agape: "I don't know what to say! Let's take a look inside the cave and search for another way up?"

"Didn't we see everything there was to see in there?" asks David. "I wasn't the one who looked into the bats' nest, though. Was there a natural chimney in there? If so, we could climb out that way."

Mitch looks concerned. "Back into the cave? Those bats are killers I tell you. I was lucky to get out with just some scraps."

"I suppose you're both right. So what do you suggest?" says Anna.

One of use can try to see if here is at least another smaller cave. If there is, we will go there, wait that the night passes and tomorrow we will get out. I volunteer to go explore the place.- says Percy

"I don't relish the thought of sleeping here," says David. "I think a better option would be to climb up after it gets dark, when Hernando is either asleep or at least less likely to see us. Still, we may find something of interest by continuing to explore down here in the meantime, while it's still light."
OOC,Did anyone get injured by the bats? We could use First Aid.

OOC:   Sorry--too lazy to check, but was there more than 1 cave before (besides the little ones on our way down), and did we fully explore it?

OOC:   You did a quick search around the outer edge of the cenote and found the cave. You haven't found anything as big as the bat cave. Mostly small crevices and cracks. Nothing that you could crawl into.

Mitch has some superficial bites and scratches. Nothing that requires first aid.

Quinto thinks it over.

"Since we're trapped here for now, the cave seems worth checking again. If we wait until dark the bats will likely exit for hunting. It'd be safer to go in then."

"I wouldn't wait until dark," says David. "Those bats will be awake then, and when they come out hunting, they'll find us. Those gunshots may have disturbed them, but once they've gone back to sleep it should be safe enough in there as long as we don't make noise and alert them again."
