Fenris is waiting beside a fissure down in the deep quarry, petting what seems to be a huge, purple buffalo with six legs. The fissure itself glows from deep within with a bluish light. Not an uncommon sight amongst the crystals and mushrooms down here.

As her work for Flora had found itself winding down to an end Sara had passed through the city with her few greetings to the guards and civilians on her way back to the inn and had lady luck smiled, another far more interesting job to wind down with. After scanning the board and its list of somewhat interesting jobs Sara had grown skeptical at the possibility of anything worth while.. until she had found a job that almost jumped off the board at her. "Fenris.. huh.. name sounds familiar. Cave-diving? Always fun.. sure, I'll take it." she had mumbled to herself as she skimmed over the basics.

After signing on with the guild representative Sara had left the inn behind and had quickly flared her wings wide open before swiftly taking to the skies and finding herself speeding on her way to the cave she was to meet Fenris. It had taken only a few minutes before she set down just a few scant feet away from Fenris and looked around expectantly before waving to the Tiger in question, "Hello! I'm guessing you're the one that posted the job? Name's Sara, I'd like to help you."

Kazel is the next one to arrive by air, landing elegantly a few feet away from Sara and Fenris. The avian seems largely unarmed and unarmored, only wearing some simple linen clothing. She stretches her arms and wings before neatly folding the later behind her. She quickly strides over to the couple and gives them a slight nod. "I heard something interesting and potentially dangerous might be about to happen? I am Kazel." She smirks. "So what is this about exactly?"

The young canine known as Iorek is walking over, picking up pace when he spots Fenris, smiling with his tail swinging gleefully "Hey Fenris, I made it, how are-" he stops when he realising the glow coming from the fissure "Aw sweet!" he bounds over with excitement, passing the other two with a quick "Hi!" before looking down the fissure. The young lab is wearing armour, well with the size of it and his small frame, it's more wearing him. He is also carrying a long sword and a metal buckler. His unusual red eyes lighting up with curiosity as he looks into the depths.

Zuri dashes up to Fenris as soon as he sees the friendly tiger being. The small salamander has dressed for the occasion, and is garbed in a light brown vest worn over a loose-fitting cotton shirt, and matching brown canvas shorts and hiking boots. Strapped to his back is a canvas pack, no doubt carrying various supplies that the salamander thought would be appropriate for the occasion. His right arm is bandaged from shoulder to elbow, and smells faintly of curative herbs.

He stops in front of the tiger with his signature bright smile. "Hi Mister Fenris! I'm ready to go too!" The excitable salamander looks around at the slowly gathering group, greeting each in turn with a wave. He pauses as he sees Iorek and skips over to him happily. "Iorek! I made it!" He joins the equally excitable labrador in peering down the fissure, already leetting his imagination run wild as to what might be down there.

A number of minutes after the excitable salamander arrives to the scene a really young looking plant clad in a body covering heavy cloak arrives at the scene. The nonchalant looking youth strides briskly towards the group of gathered beings, his jasmine smell wafting from his double blossom of a hair. Rokarion leans closer to the shorter salamander, whispering something before adjusting himself and waiting for the tiger to speak.

Shizuko picks her way through the quarry, the elderly feline moving with sure steps and a hand near the hilt of her sword in case of trouble. The leopardess' stripes seem particularly bright today, although that could be bcause of the deeper, dark shadows caused by being this far down in the quarry. Something subtle in Shizuko's posture relaxes as she approaches the group of people, and when she reaches Fenris she bows her head to the tiger and gives him a smile. "Hello, Fenris. It is good to see you again."

Millicent makes her way along at a leisurely gait, ensuring she'd arrive neither first, nor last, but somewhere squarely in the middle. A hand propped lazily on the pommel of her sword, and the hood of her coat tugged up. "Yes, nice seeing you," she agress with the leopard, tail flicking behind her.

Fenris gently pats his new buffalo friend on the snout and stands to address the gathered Freeswords, respectfully returning greetings as they are given. "I confess," he says, "This is a rather larger turnout than I anticipated." The big tiger waves everyone over to the large fissure. It opens to roughly double the height of the average being and is wide enough that even Fenris' buffalo could fit through if necessary, and it seems to widen out just a little way down. There is no path, of course, but the steep ground looks passable enough.

"I am not totally certain what to expect down there," he confesses, "All I can tell you is that a certain benefactor, who prefers to remain anonymous has asked me, and by extension, you, to explore this cavern and retrieve anything of interest." He stops talking for a second and looks thoughtful. "You know," he says, "This will be easier to show than to explain. Come on." The tiger pulls a coil of rope from the saddle of his beast and carefully ties it off to a protrusion of rock and tosses it down the gently glowing fissure, then quickly vanishes into the cavern, using the rope for balance on the steep surface. "Come on, then!" comes his call from below.

After the introduction is made Sara turns away from Fenris briefly to look over the rest of the free swords and gives each a wave in greeting, "Well, good meeting you all!" she exclaims exhuberantly before looking to Fenris just in time for him to begin his speech on what she could expect. As the mention of 'anything of interest' comes up Sara had begun to raise her hand as if about to ask a question, though it doesn't go as far as that before she drops it back to her side as the Tiger continues and ultimately answers her question before it's even made. "Alright, sir. Lead the way, and I'll follow." the lizard woman continues as she pulls a single pistol from underneath her cloak and follows past the two free swords just at the entrance, and down into the caverns below just behind Fenris himself.

Kazel leans over to look down to see how deep the ravine actually is, after a few moments she grins widely as she jumps into the frissure, ignoring the rope. She is swift to open her wings and glide down, landing safely on the floor. She mutters to herself, "I knew it was a good idea to not bring my armor." She dusts herself off and summons a little flame to sit in her open hand, illuminating the cavern better, but only slightly, more importantly it helps the others spot her. Looking up to the opening, she yells, "Looking safe down here."
