Garnets are worth some money I say we grab a few while we're here.

Drop... a handful of crystals. Let's hedge our bets here.

Acquired 8x Garnets

There are some relatively loose chunks you can break out, but overall this isn't an easy room to properly mine.  It does eat up most of the day.

More explorations?  Or do you rest?

[NJW2000]

Rest.

We've already put ourselves in a lot of danger... facing something while HP drained and tired/exhuasted would not be a good plan, and stuff here will attack in the night.

[IronyOwl]

Rest.

But we should definitely explore further in the morning.

Rest

[Devastator]

Gained 8x Garnets

For the next three days the fissure party rests.

Everyone recovers 1, 2, and 2 HP.

Trence is at 66/100 max HP, Willis is at 45/77 max HP, and Sessha is at 151/184.

Days passed, 7.

On the seventh day, when you go back to the drop zone to pick up the food, the darkness stands out to you.

..It's closer.  It's lapping at the edges of the base camp, and you don't feel confident about going to the southernmost glowstone torches.

We should try throwing a glowstone into the strange darkness.

We should try throwing a glowstone into the strange darkness.

Three glowstones.

The first one you toss softly underhand.  It lands in the distance, twinkling, failing to illuminate things properly, but still clearly visible, clearly corporeal.

The second one you throw overhand, tossing it far down to the south.  It vanishes from view, quite early.

The third one..  you toss it further than the first one.  Everyone can see it twinkling in the darkness.. until they blink.  Then each loses track of it, despite the others being able to still see it.  Fairly quickly, everyone blinks, and the spot of light is gone.

Let's use a scan crystal on the strange darkness and see if that gives us any info as to what's happening with it.

Nothing!  Unlike the mist, the dancing darkness doesn't seem to be a proper monster, so to speak.

[IronyOwl]

Bizarre. Well...

Sessha walks into the darkness. Willis stares, Trence blinks.

Sessha walks into the darkness. Willis stares, Trence blinks.

Sessha walks towards the darkness.  She does see the darkness surrounding her glowstones, and it does seem to press in physically, preventing the stones from lighting the area properly.  But nor does it end up actually touching Sessha.  She sees the darkness surrounding her, and.. moving somehow, but it doesn't touch her or what she's carrying.

For a while, both of the kids can see Sessha walking through the darkness, and see her surrounded by light.  Eventually, she disappears to Trence's view, while remaining visible for a bit longer to Willis.  Eventually, and not that much later, she disappears from Willis's view even while he's looking.

A minute or two later, Sessha returns, emerging from the darkness unharmed.

Check to make sure it's really her. Propose something fun that she would have, ah, historical reason to object to.

If it's really her, all three of us start exploring the darknesss-shrouded end of the chasm.
