It Lies Underground (Closed)

[Strangerdanger101]

A little help...? Delmar appears to be stuck under a small boulder in the hole that the Worm burrowed through.

[Silentdarkness1]

"Oh. Sure."

 

Webber used his pickaxe to break the boulder.

[Strangerdanger101]

Now, how are we going to get out of- Delmar notices the spiders. -here. Uhh... why are there so many spiders?

[Silentdarkness1]

"We like to stick together when things get nasty."

[Strangerdanger101]

Ok then, now how do we get out of here?

[Silentdarkness1]

"Uh.....okay, gimme a minute. I think....I think I feel something."

 

Webber leaned so that his spidery head's legs were touching the ground, and emitted a spidery hiss. Little spidery hisses and cries echoed through the cave.

[Strangerdanger101]

Delmar backed away a bit.

[Silentdarkness1]

After about a minute, something broke through the cave ceiling. It was the leg of a Spider Queen. A bunch of spiders fell out, tied up in each others' legs, forming a rough ladder of sorts.

[Strangerdanger101]

I guess thats our way out, then?

[Silentdarkness1]

Webber nodded, and climbed up and out of the chamber.

[Strangerdanger101]

It's dark, very dark.

Oh, great.

[Strangerdanger101]

(Probably going to have to timeskip to keep this alive since it's pretty much dead)

[Silentdarkness1]

(Sorry. Went inactive for a bit Dx )

 

Judging by the sound of it, there were a lot of spiders nearby.

[Strangerdanger101]

So, now what do we do? I'm not even sure anymore.

[Silentdarkness1]

"We keep going up, I guess? There should be a way out of here somehow."

[Strangerdanger101]

It goes on for a surprisingly very long time, with it getting darker and darker, eventually light shows through small cracks, and you reach the surface. looks like the middle of a open field, with a few trees around. It's nighttime.

[Percival]

(This might be the perfect time to introduce our artistic friend.)

[Strangerdanger101]

(It may be.)

Despite it being nighttime, there is a small lantern that is almost out of fuel near Webber.

As if someone was already here.

[Percival]

(Shall I take over here?)

[Strangerdanger101]

(Sure. Oh and about the lantern part: It was not exactly meant for you but you can use that to your advantage if you want to.)

[Percival]

(No thanks.

 

After Webber reacts to the lantern, Ill post.)

[Silentdarkness1]

"Huh. Neat lantern. I think we may have gone past some of the weird light trees. I could go back and get some to fuel it."

[Strangerdanger101]

Maybe. But you don't have to. It could be useful, though.

(Okay. Also, please don't immediately respond to something that may draw you towards Tamera.)

 

Light flowed in from four tall standing torches, small bits of glass hanging from the tied bundle of wood. Each resembled a lantern one might find in an antiques store. In the darkness was a bundle of ripped grass and wood in a final corner, suggesting what has happened to the fourth lantern. The dessicated corpse of a hound was lying on the wood floor illuminated by the caramel color light. The creature was recently deceased, its shaggy fur still warm from nonexistent body heat. Its ribcage was ripped neatly in two perfect halves, the flesh and sinews of bone folded away like a book and its mouth was lopsided, several spikes of white ripped out of the creature's orifice. Strangely, there wasn't any indication on how it might've died. There was a lack of stab wounds, weapons, or even an irregular jagged line of cut flesh. The creature was dissected quite cleanly.

 

A young woman, her dress splattered with a small amount of red, was sitting where light met darkness, doodling away in a notebook. She looked up over the top of the leather sketchbook, staring at the creature.

 

"Just another nicked vein there, and.." She whispered to herself, erasing a drawing in the making on her book.
