"Take care Vickie. We won't be in the tunnels for much longer."
"Right then, if everyone else is on board, shall we?"
We'll gather up and join Sir Eklon and Lywenta on their way down to the tunnels. I'll share my plan for our last sweep, but otherwise follow their lead.
As everyone heads down the lifts you see Lywenta and Eklon walking on the water towards the NW tunnel. As you get to the bottom you can feel a solid invisible barrier on the surface of the water leading towards the NW tunnel. Soon Lywenta and Eklon enter the NW tunnel.
Travis, looking deep in thought joins the other's for breakfast. Afterwards he goes out to the stables, and feeds Sabrina some carrots, talking to the mare and giving her a groom.
He goes back to his room and prepares a detect magic spell to add to his existing list for the day, ahead.
Afterwards, he rejoins with the others, and speaks to Jason.
"I would also like to come and study the rooms of particular interest, the magic desk, the room with food in it," he says.
"Water Walking is not an uncommon spell, you will most likely be capable of it yourself at some point Travis."
Approaching the other two, I'll state, "Lady Lywenta, Sir Eklon, we plan to make one last quick sweep, using Ghost's nose as a guide. After that, if you are willing, Grant and I will be returning to lend a hand with the magical areas in here.
Out of Character: not moving slowly enough for search checks, so just spot and listen.
Spending a moment checking the surface layer field with a hand, I move back into the group, saying "This more of an increase in surface tension rather than walking on water, which normally applies to individuals under the effects of the spell. It's a whole layer on top of the surface itself. The duration and coverage is impressive."
Out of Character: I take it as you go back into the tunnel you will be taking the right hand passages to cover the areas you skipped that were to the left the last time you were in exploring?
In Game: Lywenta just smiles as she hears Grant. She heads in deeper taking the turns that Jason told her to arrive at the room that had the food. Does anyone other than Sir Eklon accompany her?
