"That looks to be the last of it, anyone here wish to proceed inside?" Bolum the hawk offers, gesturing to the ruins entrance. "It's trecherous but not too dangerous." he says as he examines the walls one last time. They have spent days of effort decoding what they can, but the story must be sent to the reserachers for futhre examination, one cannot simply trust carvings about kitsune, there may be an underlying meaning. Bolum then looks to the group for an answer, seeking volunteers.
Zero opens his eyes from his medtation. Standing up, he nods. Taking another chance, Zero pulls out his blades, inspecting them to make sure they're in good condition.
Mazurek would definitely be one of the first to volunteer, "I'm ready to continue onward, sure!" He had been off to the side out of the way of those recording, warming up with some of his martial-artist exercises. It left him sweating a bit as well and he used his wings to cool off now.
Walden looks almost exhausted from having recorded all of that writing. However, Bolum brings up an awfully interesting point: the interior. "That's not a bad idea," he tells the hawk. "If we leave before exploring it, we could be missing out on some valuable clues. Besides, what if someone gets hurt? I've gotta be there."
Moroko has his book out and is taking notes of the images, "Oooh I hope there are more riddles." He says to no one in particular. Moroko seems to have made it through inreasonable good shape through judicious use of air magic. "Tally ho then." He offers to the hawk indicating that he's game.
Ryusho is busy fiddlign with his soul gem, spesifically the knoledge crystals, as he had been shifting and sorting them over the past few days, trying to find what he felt was the best combination for the current scenario, and was still oding some last minute checks before they got up to go in
Bolum claps his hands together. "Excellent. Shall we proceed then?" he says as he wheels around on a boot heel, and proceeds inside the ruins. They are dark, the stones iniside almost yellow in color, at least until they fade into the darkness.
A small bead of sweat runs down Zero's brow. Wiping it away, he inhales deeply before taking shakey steps to follow Bolum into the unknown.
Mazurek lets the others go first again, "I'll take up the rear again, guys. Just like last time." He had healed completely of the injuries the creatures in the previous cave . At least his shorts weren't damaged.
Ryusho similarlly had recovered from anything that may of bothered them before as he hums softly, slowly getting up as he gets his equipment and all gathered and packaged, "...I feel like I am as good as I can set myself up for things, unless I have time to change a crystal later...so This feels good for our situation, I'm ready." he says nodding softly, "Let us head on, I will help with the way, I suppose I can keep an eye out for traps and the like just in case..."
Walden chuckles and says to Ryusho, "I hope so. I'm not so good at that sort of thing," he says, pulling out a torch and lighting it. "Really, I can't wait to see what's inside, though. Hopefully something wonderful, some lost bits of knowledge perhaps!"
Moroko seems content to make for the middle of the group like a good non-dragony mage. He offers to Walden, "Probably something trying to eat us again. Fascinating!" He says brightly as he keeps his staff in front of him probably expecting tentacles.
Zero gulps and moves his hand to his sword hilt in case he needs it as he continues to move with the group.
As they proceed inside the ruins the center of the floor triangles upward, making an uneven surface dividing the hallway in two. Bolum stands on the left side, seemingly unsure of which side he wants to be on but unable to walk on the centerpiece.
Ryusho blinks a bit, and after seveeral secconds..he decides to take a crown out of his coin pouch..and flip it...just to decide, if he can not decern anything that looks like a good choice between the two...
Ryusho decides to flip a coin to decide....after a moment...
The other dragon makes the choice very easily on whether to be on one side of the slope or the other... Maz traverses the hall from the very center and does so on all fours. He gets his own light in this mode of locomotion by having his mouth open and letting flames roll in his mouth, which allows him to look to either side without having to worry about stumbling into anything unexpectedly.
Walden finds himself drifting toward Moroko as they walk. He laughs a little at what the lupine mage says and responds, "You might think me strange for this, but the crazy tentacle creatures were actually my least favorite part of the trip." He looks ahead at the split ahead and says, "Oh, two sides? Left is the obvious choice, of course."
Ryusho then chooses the right side...
Moroko doesn't seem overly concerned about the direction. He offers to Walden, "I would think right would be the right side." He says smirking but then pauses,"Aaah well the tentacles weren't favorite but they were fascinating!"
Zero looks at the two paths, gaze switching from one to the other. Closing his eyes, he almost seems to be asleep standing up. After a few seconds, he opens his eyes and looks to the left path.
The group continues upon their selected side, having clear view of the others at all times. They proceed for a while until a pillar breaks the triangular formation, a kitsune shown looking straight down the triangular divider, and in this case at Mazurek. Bolum gazes at it for a while before continuing. As he does so the walls shake slightly, the light from the entrance dies off as a wall blocks the path back to the blockades start. The triangular formation begins to rise up at a moderate speed, Mazurek will be crushed if they do not drop off onto a side now.
Moroko blinks as things start rumbling he puts his hands out and looks up towards Maz, "I say, you may want to jump? Hmmm so looking down means don'tgo there."
Walden cries out in shock as the middle starts closing itself. "No!" he exclaims. "Why's it doing that? We're gonna lose sight of each other!" He looks to Bolum and Zero in concern. "W-we can always go back and meet them, right?"
Mazurek can't help but wonder just what Walden found in tentacles that made them alluring, but he can't speak it aloud due to focusing his flame to light his way. His thoughts are interrupted when the ground beneath him suddenly begins rising. The rumbling actually causes him to stumble and become a bit off balance, and he tumbles off to one side. He ends up falling to the right just as panic grips some of the group, his tail barely making it out of danger before it is too late. If he had jumped, he would have hit the ceiling there...
Zero draws back as the middle closes itself. "Ah Great
Zero draws back as the middle closes itself. "Ah Great!! Just what we need!!" he hisses, more to himself than anyone else.
Ryusho Mrphs as he glances back, then forth, apparently leading the way out of the three here, "Well, Lets see.." he says softly, and then rubs his head, "Well, I guess we keep going?" he says after a moment as he glances forward, then back...
Mazurek grunts, getting to his feet after the tumble, "I might have triggered that if the Kitsune statue-pillar was the trigger for that trap." Yes, his flame had died when he was forced to choose which side to go on. He shakes himself a bit, "Forward. We can't go back if you noticed." He halfheartedly gestures to the blockade behind.
