The First Psalm
Zora hesitates for a moment before speaking. "I wouldn't trust you with a cup of water. No, I'll do it. I need to know I am more than just... whatever this all is. And if something there can help..." Her voice is not at all convincing, but there is some conviction in her eyes.

Jötna had begun to amble further south a few steps and almost forgot about the group and being dead. She was lost in a limbo of thought. Then, the tone in Zora’s voice breaks through her trance. Wait! She’s going down the well?!

Eager to keep moving, but curious to see exactly transpires with talk of someone going down in the well, Katalin holds up at the edge of the small clearing, between to two paths leading further into the forest.

Every step is like pushing through molasses. Only it's fear. Not her fear, but the fear of something inside her. Zora makes her way to the well. The idea of the well was anathema to something that now resided with the dead woman. She stares at, and the down the dark pit.

Althea stands on the edge of the group as the other girls bicker about how to proceed. When it is suggested that they move on, Althea gently raises her arm and coaxes her bird to seek the way once more.

"Which way now friend?"

The way down the well is deep and dark and with a shimmer of purplish liquid at the bottom. For how deep it goes Zora has no idea.
The others seem ready to move on as Althea's bird zooms through the woods, finding a path. If that path is the right direction, or just a comfortable path for a bird to fly through, that might be uncertain.

Above the treetops the moonlight night is slowly being replaced by a dark overcast. As a few drops of rain splash down on the ground.

"’course I’ll ‘elp you miss, but Ise scared for you. Please be extry careful."
Jötna moves back to the well, takes a long look at the rope for sturdiness, and then grabs the handle. "Put yer foot in the bucket then. I’ll ‘old this here handle and let you down real easy, right?"

"Did someone say power? Step aside, woman. I'll go." Magdalene sits atop the well wall and puts her foot in the bucket while grasping the rope. Let me down gently and I will rappel off the well walls as I've seen my men do. Oh! A memory has returned. I had men that did as I bade."

Glaring at Katalin she then looks at Jotna. "Well? What are you waiting for?"

The First Psalm
Zora nods at the woman, taking the rope gently from Jötna. There is a determination in her eye, likely due to the proximity of the well. The pulley of the well helps bear the weight of the other dead woman. Only once Magdalene is a ways down does Zora let go of the rope and watch the handle spin. She turns to Katalin. "Cut the rope."
OOC:
Welp.

Katalin nonchalantly closes to the well and slices the rope clean. "I am disappointed that we had to sacrifice the bucket, but that's the least we could expect." She immediately returns to her position between the two paths leading away and then heads down the one indicated by the raven's path. "This way everyone?"

Lilly's mouth hangs open but no sound comes out; her eyes are wide, but no light of understanding is to be found. Lilly looks from Katalin to Zora and back again. The she looks to the other dead girls.. can anyone explain what just happened?, her stare pleads

"The girl was a danger to us. She would have thrown us to the wolves for a rusted coin. She wants what is in the well? She can have it." Zora shrugs, but a hint of confliction hangs behind her eyes.

"Ise jus’ trying to ‘elp. Nunna my bizness, really, whut the fine ladeez duz." Jötna clearly is practiced at avoiding getting involved with the drama of the rich. She also backs away slowly.

The First Psalm
"H E L P! YOU BITCHES. Get me out of here!"

She doesn't panic. She is much too angry and arrogant for such a useless emotion. She knows she has a crowbar and staff and a rusty sword attached or in her backpack. She plans to use those to walk her way up the wall of the well. She presumes the fall into the liquid saved her from .... from what exactly? She was already dead.

The First Psalm
Althea gasps at the betrayal and lunges for the pulley in an attempt to grab the rope before it disappears.

"You can't!" she yells in a knee jerk way but then stops cold as Katalin cuts the rope.

Althea hangs her head in sorrow for a moment until Magdalene's voice barks from the well once more. She rushes over to the edge and peers down.

"Hold on! I'll find a branch!"

Lilly looks at Zora almost apologetically as Magdalene calls from the well, but then as Althea acts, she too rushes to the well and cries out, "Hold on, Magdalene, we’re going to get you out"

I'd like to point out that Magdalene has never given us her name and I am not sure she even remembers it herself.

If the others are hellbent on helping her, at least she can help us. "What is down there, sister?"
