Re: IC
Repressing a shudder, Fenn follows.
Re: IC
As the fog bank engulfs the trio, their green-tinged field of vision is narrowed almost entirely to what is directly in front of them. They come to a set of stairs descending downwards, very strange for this sort of building, and the fog seems to waft up from the bottom of them. Heading down the stairs the distinct smell of sea water and decay becomes stronger and stronger.
OOC: The stair case is narrow enough that you have to walk in a single file line. Whoever is first please make a DEXx5 roll. |

Re: IC
Anakunaisi is wounded, so he lets somebody else go first...

Re: IC
Anakunaisi follows, an arrow readied on his bow.

Claudius brings up the rear, gripping his greatsword in both hands.

Re: IC
As the trio progresses down the stairs, Fenn brings them to an abrupt halt. Before them the stairs halt suddenly, leading to a steep drop to who knows what below. The fog is thick, and had Fenn been less surefooted he would have discovered that the hard way. This is clearly a trap made for less keen eyed strangers wandering through the fog. Leaning over the side, Fenn can see clearly man-made hand and foot holds carved into the stone where the stairs end.
Re: IC
"We will need to climb down here," Fenn reports then lowers himself to the first of the handholds and begins to descend into the chasm.

Re: IC
Anakunaisi puts away his bow. He holds his knife between his teeth as he follows Fenn into the chasm.

Re: IC
Claudius sheathes his greatsword across his back and descends last, his skills as a climber proving useful.

Re: IC
The going proves difficult for Claudius as well.

Re: IC
The green light is dim, the fog is thick, and the surface the trio clings to is wet and slippery. While climbing down both Anakunaisi and Claudius slip, they both scramble for purchase but neither are able. For a moment things seem dire, but then both scouts find that they are not falling, at least not quite. Instead they find themselves floating downward. It is a sensation like being underwater but still being able to breathe, and it is extremely disorienting at first. Also, if any of the mercenaries called out while falling, or when he realized he wasn't, he'll find that he was unable to speak or make a sound.
OOC: Fenn can make a 0/1 SAN test for seeing his companions levitate, the two experiencing it can make a 1/1d2 San test. |

Re: IC
Anakunaisi
Instead of the bone breaking depth, Anakunaisi is plunged into the void of weird, mind-bending and reality morphing sorcery!

Re: IC
Claudius is disturbed that he is floating slowly downwards, but he is not about to complain.

Re: IC
After taking a moment to adjust to their new reality, how do the scouts proceed?

Anakunaisi
If it is dark, Anakunaisi instructs the guards to light a torch.
He looks around: what is the place they are in? A corridor? A hall?
