It had been four hours since the trials with abyss, and no one was up for going any further. Luckily, they were all rather adept at pitching camp, the only true struggle having to go find water. Usually not everyone needed to go along, but since the group wanted to clean up some of their gear after trudging for miles through a mud pit to get back to Leiken and Aehwyn they'd all decided to follow the sound of water. It turned out to ...

Ever since the incident at the grate, everything had been a lot quieter as of late.  Usually, Euele wouldn't mind so much. It let her sort through her thoughts and come to terms with whatever had happened during these extensive stretches beneath the surface of the earth.
