Scene 3 - The Ardeyn Run

Alright, let's get Climbing Checks (Might?) from everybody slinkying their way down the chimney.

I promise not to kill you all with one perfectly timed GM intrusion.

Katyu, Micah, Vinny, and Duke all succeed in making the descent, although K and M need to dodge a small, continual avalanche caused by Vinny's method. Huval and Domic follow quickly, once the Queen decides to take the story way, riding a lightning bolt down.

At the bottom, the chimney opens to a natural water carved tunnel and Katyushka manages to find boot tracks heading down one of two possible routes. Downstream, if a dry water channel can be called a steam. Downhill, then.

Which way do you go?

The long journey into the underworld is... dark. Treacherous. Perilous. Did I say dark? The Queen has this static electricity thing going on, that keeps you from falling in chasms, but unless you have some other kind of light, you're going to get migraines pretty fast.

Domic stares wistfully at the bright glove. "I bought this on Earth. It was a LED lantern, but when I brought it here, it changed, as items that don't fit the recursion often do when you Translate in." He scratches the back of the hand holding the globe. "That reminds me, something had been bothering me. That weapon we're chasing. It came here through an Inapposite Gate, and even though it wouldn't change right away, it won't keep its form here forever. Within a few days, or maybe a week, it will turn into something that fits the local Laws. I don't know if that will render it powerless, or just work on magic rather than Rukish technology."

Continuing through the tunnels, lit by Domic's light, you come upon a carved area. Clearly the work of industrious beings, you realize that you are in a mine. Domic indicates that the Nammu mountains were once mined by the Qephilim, and this appears to be one such enterprise.

In an open area, a large square cavern with the walls carved like buildings, you feel a growing unease.
