Day 1 - Undermorning
Rargh the minotaur, looks out to the turbulent waters submerging the portal and sees the wet spray of an apparent hole in the bottom of the pool. Just to make shure, he wades in and the currents tug at him, trying to pull him under. But rargh is a strong swimmer. He clings on the the caveside and approaches close enough to see the wide open drain. It is more of a channel of sorts, almost perfectly square and probably manmade, exploring it further would be foolhearty though. He swims back.
KrikClik the Kenku, Glides over the water, his reflexes and keen perception help, and with time, he snaps at a fish and cuts it in half. Oops. He continues and ends up collecting several fish, more gently, its enough for a full days meal.
Shigon the Salamander, stands beside the streaming water and prepps his claws for some fish grabbin'. He is discouraged at first, then the attempts turn to hours, untill he spots a fish floating down peeking out of the whitewater with the stupidest look on its face. He snatches at it. But it turns out to just be a severed fishhead. maybe it is just bad luck, but his lack of skill at fishing is apparent. The wily little fish are fast. Some tools of some sort would help. he has time to think about it, His Intellect would say a net, a fishing line, bait, a trident, would all help.
Furtuka the ghoul, Explores the surroundings. He investigates the bridge. Its is made of old wood, it is nearly at the point of breaking, multiple people on it at a time would be bad. He investigates the island in the stream. It seems a large amount of debris has piled up in the eddies here. he investigates the debris island, combing through the pile. He casts aside slime, vines, and pebbles untill he reveals part of a barrel! It is sealed. He spends the rest of his shift digging it out. it containes some old crystalised honeycombs! 20 units worth.
The Sprite goes about reducing the darkness level with its spells. The scattered patches of glow moss begin to spread across the walls and ceilings over time. (darkness penalty here is now only -3). The moss begins to compete and crowd out the other clinging funguses and the area is now only merely gloomy.
Rahal the Gargoyle, walks the perimiter, and the waterfall is too treatcherous to navigate up, and the drains are really probably just certain death, he determines that clearing the rubble is the best way out. and begins clearing rubble and throwing it into the stream.
Sly the incubus explores. He wanders over by the waterfall. It comes out of a narrow horizontal rift and cascades down. It is not entirely filled with gushing water, the upstream could probably be explored with climbing gear and a small frame. He peers into it and notices the faint smell of corpses in with the other smells. It takes him a bit but there seems to a hidden opening behind the waterfall. He braces against the water and kneels down to enter. It is very dark. Inside he can make out a small natural cave, and also 3 moving creatures, but it is too dark to see clearly. They Hiss! Sly nonthreateningly makes some cooing noises to lull them. His eyes adjust a bit and he can make out 3 Assassin beetles - Dog sized carnivorous beetles with mandibles underlying vicious barbed pincers, known for sneak attacking people in their sleep. Presently they pick over some bones and snap them in their mandibles.
A FIGHT HAS BROKEN OUT
The Beetles rear up and threaten Sly! Sly's seductive voice seems to have no effect, they are very dumb! The Beetles charge forward!Sly steps inside and stands up, posing dramatically! The creatures Turn tail and run! They scurry Into the dark recesses of the cave, but they have nowhere to run. Sly raises a finger to his temple and uses Mindlash, but it is too dark to make good eye contact., one of the beetles panics and becomes enraged! it charges the threat! Sly retreats back out the waterfall, but between the waterfall, uneven terrain, and his own bumbling he is far too slow. He breaks out of the waterfall with a slash on his backside. One beetle chases him out biting blindly.
Shift 2 will continue once the fight is resolved
