In a semi secluded spot in the hills stands a survey team of three beings. Two badgers who vaguely resemble each other and a heavy clan sized mole being. A somewhat cloudy day, as the group awaits the volunteers with bated breath. "You put up the fliers?" "Yeah, threw about thirty on the bulletin boards." "You were supposed to spread them out!" A brief uninteligible arguement transpires...
Technetium approaches the survey team quitely, coming from one of the trails leading in. She throws her cloak hood off and looks around for the others, who should arrive soon-ish, unless she got the location wrong, and she's approaching a random team of miners that are about to be extremely suprised at the sudden arrival of a cloaked fennec.
A young plant being moves towards the group, dressed in his usual body covering heavy cloak, with his double blossom for hair apparent for all to see, wafting his jasmine scent. Rokarion arrives the scene, and bows his head in a polite manner, "Greetings ladies and gentlemen, I am assuming you were the ones to request our aid? Mind if I ask what will this job entail?" Rokarion asked in his usual calm and polite tone.
Luck moved along her own trail, also seeking out the survey team that had been seeking assistance. Upon spotting others Luck pulled her hood up and quietly moved around the edge of the group, watching the others closely from a safe distance.
Landing a short distance away, Natska pauses a moment to adjust her black domino mask and then puts on an easy grin, walking up to the small group of people, one of the copies of the flyer held in her hand. "Excuse me," she calls. "I am here to assist. What is the matter at hand?"
Cassidy drops from the sky, landing next Natska with a soft thump of paws on the ground. Everyone else was already asking, so she remains silent, brushing off the sleeve of her red tailcoat with a whitegloved hand. Natska gets a happy pat on the back before she reaches up to adjust her hat and turn her eyes skyward for a moment.
The badgers continue to argue about proper placement of job notices. Right up until the big mole thwaps them both on the head and points them to the group. "Wait, who're you calling a lady?" The left side badger speaks, then the right badger: "Quiet, Jim. You're the help we asked for, right? Of course you are. Asking about the job, so, short version: Found a new shaft. Some kind of rare ore in there. It glows." "It doesn't glow, it's the fungus that glows." "Whatever. Point is, it's really dark in there and noises keep coming from it." Almost simultaneously, the three point towards a cave about twenty meters away. "So, whenever you're ready, we'll follow you in. Probably. It's dark." "You said that already."
Technetium looks out into the cave for a few seconds, then lights a ball of fire about a meter in front of her head, and then turns back over to look at the crew, "Right, then. So, we go and look for things of intrest, and do a survey, instead of you guys, which it is literally your jobs to do surveys? Meh. As long as we are paid." She begins to wander off in the general direction of the cave, waiting for the others first.
Rokarion nods, "I was referring to Lady Wirefur. My apologies if you mistook yourself for one." Rokarion says tone unchanging. He then looks at cave, "Hopefully there are other items of interest in that cave." As he says that, some slithering under his cloak can be seen, soon enough a vine appears out of the cloak and rising a bit over his head, the tip of the vine having a smaller jasmine blossom. Rokarion's body then starts glowing slightly a white colour, the glow seems to slowly fade from his body and focus only on the vine's blossom, when that happens the blossom glows even brighter until a shimmering light similar to that of a lantern appears out of it, "I believe we might need more light. Let us head off then."
Luck nodded once upon hearing the explanation from the badgers. Quickly the small female moved behind Technetium hiding in the shadow cast by the orb of fire. Looking back for a split moment Luck started to rest her hand on the dagger by her side, not afraid of what may lie in wait in front of her but rather those behind.
Natska sways back for just a moment, giving Cassidy a quick hug, then saunters towards the cave opening. "But lady Wirefur, if some horrible monster is lurking in the darkness, they can't finish their work! And who better than us to deal with it?" She grins wider and then draws her knife with a flourish, happily taking point as she heads into the cave. "Don't worry, good sirs! Whatever is down there is about to have a very bad day." She looks back at Cassidy and gives the fennec a wink, then adjusts her pace into the more measured steps of a quiet, stalking cat.
Cassidy gives a curt bow of her head and follows after Natska, smiling softly beneath her mask as her tail sways. "I am just happy to be doing something. I needed a break from my painting and felt like doing something fun." She leaves her hands folded behind her back as she wanders into the cave, not terribly concerned about anything jumping out at them that she needed to be particularly prepared for.
The opening to the cave is large enough for 5-6 average sized beings to walk side by side through. As mentioned by the badgers, 'tis dark. The badgers and mole stay with the group as they enter. The light provided by Rokarion and Technetium illuminates quite a bit of the walls, mostly just stone with occasional lichen as the group moves inward. As they walk, the as of yet unnamed badger speaks: "M-monsters? I heard skittering before..." Jim thwaps him on the head, in a similar fashion to the mole. "Quiet, Dan. If there are monsters, do you really want them to hear us?"
As the group makes their way through the cave, the path begins to wind downward. A slight angle at first, but it drops quickly, taking them further down. The big mole speaks: "Watch your step."
Technetium coughs lightly, and continues sweeping the fire around, with the intent to reveal things whenever they are supposed to be revealed, and she is careful to be sure she doesn't slip on any litchin along the well, also taking care not to slip on any wet rocks.
Rokarion looks around the te caves as he moves with the group, "So tell us about this ore you are here to survey. Is it a merely a better version of a known metal? Or is it some kind of new discovery?" Rokarion says in his usual tone, his blossom tipped glowing vine moving lazily around focusing on the less illuminated areas to ensure that nothing escapes the group's sight.
Luck continued to move in Technetium's shadow, eyes surveying the edged of the cave. As Rokarion spoke Luck found her intrest peaking and took a small piece of litchin without breaking stride. Tounge in her cheek Luck threw a small scrap of litchen at Thelergramor's orb of fire in an attempt to see what exactly would happen.
"So," Natska asks as the group continues along the winding path. "It is nice to see people are trying to reclaim the mines! You have managed to avoid any unpleasantness so far, yes? No urges to murder eachother? No more suicidal thoughts than you are otherwise normally prone to?" she asks, tail flicking. She pauses for a moment, ears perked as she listens for strange noises, then continues on with her easy pace.
