Ensuring the security of their sleds and dog teams outside the cavern, the companions take a brief pause to gather their thoughts. During this momentary interlude, Sirilk takes on the role of scout, venturing ahead to assess the entrance of the Ice Cavern. As he advances, his keen eyes take in the tunnel-like opening that stretches about 20 feet. The interior, bathed in a diffused light that filters in from the sun, reveals an almost surreal luminescence that casts intriguing shadows against the icy surfaces. His heart echoes with gratitude for their swift sleds, for the realization dawns that had they chosen to trek on foot, the encroaching dusk would have transformed this place into an abyss of darkness.

Having ascertained the safety of the entrance, Sirilk signals for his companions to join him, and they all enter the icy cavern. The ground beneath their boots is firm, compacted snow, rendering any tracking efforts futile at this stage. A subtle symphony of shifting ice echoes within the cavern, a gentle reminder that this whole structure is suspended atop the frozen bay, held in delicate balance above the frigid waters below. Despite this constant tension, the cavern exudes an unexpected sense of sturdiness and beauty.

As sunlight filters through the cavern's surfaces, the play of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing dance upon the icy walls. The companions find themselves in a serene, almost otherworldly environment, their journey taking an enigmatic turn as they step further into the heart of the cavern.

Siril has his bow out. He will back up Mazer.

If we are still in exploration mode, he continues to Scout.

Posted: **Tue Aug 08, 2023 11:21 pm**

Mazer will allow Falas and Siril to do their thing. He will keep back a space or two to not spoil their efforts.
He will use the exploration: Defend, just in case.

Posted: **Wed Aug 09, 2023 8:32 am**

If no one is searching for traps, Falas will switch to exploration:search mode. He is wielding rapier + dagger.
He moves quietly to D4, hoping his low light vision will show him more of the space.

Falas advances... scanning the area ahead of him for traps.

How would it suit if Mazer and Van unstealthily went in the vicinity of B6? We could view more and draw attention away from the stealthy types.

Falas whispers Can maybe Siril quietly move to the upper right side [a5/6] to get a peak what's around my corner? if safe then i can move to [F5]

The newly formed band of companions progresses cautiously within the mesmerizing ice caverns. Sunlight, diffused as it passes through the crystalline walls, paints intricate and radiant patterns that playfully dance and echo in countless reflections.

Falas and Van, their senses attuned to the surroundings, discern no immediate threats in their path. Instead, they find themselves captivated by the ethereal beauty of this frozen creation. Each step reveals a new facet of the ice's splendor, drawing them deeper into its enchantment.

Mazer, however, remains vigilant, his senses sharpened, ready to raise his shield at a moment's notice should danger rear its head. His unwavering focus is a sentinel's sentinel in this seemingly serene but unpredictable environment.

Siril, mindful of the potential perils that could lurk in this icy realm, moves with utmost care. His steps are as silent as his presence, a whisper in the cavern's cracking noises, ensuring that neither his footsteps nor his actions betray his presence to any lurking threats.

Seems to be clearer ice - as opposed to the general ground, which is more whitish ice.

Posted: **Fri Aug 25, 2023 3:57 pm**

Siril carefully scans the area around him. Are there any signs of tracks or might one way look more worn than another?

Currently, the hard ice does not provide any tracks to follow. This is why I didn't request a Perception roll for those who are in the Search Exploration mode..

In that case, he'll carefully sneak to F8 and peek around the corner, If he sees anything he sneaks back to E7. If not he stays at F8.

Falas continues to try and be quiet while searching for traps, moving G5, peeking around.. if sees nothing, then sneaks to H4 - sticking close to walls to try for cover for all moves.
