raza I remember seeing Loren use magic with the L’ma, but I can’t remember what kind, so the ice surprises me. Seems an odd fix, so I yell back to him “Can you magic up some pitch and something solid to put in the hole?” before kind of… easing myself/flopping into a straddle on his back, behind the fin. I just wish I had time to appreciate it more. But if he can get through the passage, I look back and wonder if we could also get the boat in, if we like, sit in it and guide it through, bracing against the walls with our hands? I don’t fucking know, but it seems important to keep the boat? Luckily, the glyphs are the right ones… but there’s something else there. I need a light, but can’t take the lantern from the boat. Tapping lightly on Sunjata’s back to get his attention, I say to him, “This is the right way, but there's also something else written up there and I need a light. Don’t want to go forward until I see what it says.” On the off chance one of the other is Attuned and they can do the mind talkey-thing, maybe he can pass the message along. -------------- Raza suggests pitch and something else to patch the hold. She rides orca-jata and reads the glyphs she can see, then taps him and says she needs more light to see the newly added glyphs the Firebrand

That came out in a distracted tone, since he was focused on keeping his makeshift patch in place. Indeed, though he was aware of his surroundings, he was letting the others worry about navigating.
To help prevent the ice from melting, he cooled the water around them to make it hopefully stay in place longer. He also continued to try and steer the boat left. Hearing the faint call echo from Raza, he glanced around at their belongings. Strangely enough there was a dim glow from the sword Sunjata had dropped off. The healer pointed at it, hoping to draw it to Melita's attention. If there was a message from the other man, the Launceleyn would relay it to the redheaded woman. Loren focuses on maintaining the ice patch and cooling the water around them. He also points out Flametongue to Melita. If Sunjata says something, Loren will tell Melita. Loren is going left.

i can't believe that you could just say
that "the answers unlock this gate" It doesn’t take a second thought for him to pause as Raza settles along his back, holding onto his fin. Nor does it take him long to navigate to the glyphs Raza can see, lifting a small amount up to listen to her as she taps him and speaks. A thought crosses him, stilling at the next set of glyphs to refrain from moving to shout down the Attuned bond.
Loren, the sword I left with Melita has a light. Like a torch, can we get it over here somehow? In the meantime, he offers Raza a deep rebounding hum of a sound to ensure that he’s heard her, pausing before the rocky outcropping with the other glyphs. Sunjata pauses at the second glyphs, tells Loren to have him or Melita grab Flametongue to bring over to give light to the area for the glyphs!

to be lit up from within vein by vein Stuck, for a few moments, lost in the annals of darkness – translations back and forth between those Attuned – and for those intervals of seconds she felt rather useless. She didn’t know how to read the runes. She didn’t have magic to stuff earth or ice back into the hole in the boat. She couldn’t shift into a beast. But maybe she could lend herself, somehow, someway – She’d thought about tossing the lantern, but there was no certainty that it wouldn’t fall into the water and they’d lose what little light they had. Loren, however, pointed out the sword, glowing amongst their pile of things. Quickly, she dove for it, removing it from its sheath, crimson gleam flickering within her eyes. “Here!” And she hurled it towards Raza and Sunjata, trusting the whale-form would be able to retrieve it if Raza couldn’t catch it. -- Melita tossed Sunjata’s Flametongue sword towards Raza/Sunjata!

raza We’re really fucking lucky with that sword toss - Melita must have stellar aim. I give her a thumbs up, hoping she can see it, and go to read the writing. But when I get there, my heart starts to pound in my chest - nothing like that has appeared in the Fingers before and I fall silent, running through the list of creatures in my head. First I think it might be the L’ma - but no, we’d saved it earlier. And it wasn’t threatening. Could it be - ? Can it survive out of the deep? If it is the great sea monster from the bottom of the Maw, we’re all totally fucked. Or maybe it has something to do with fire and it lived in the volcano? Either way, I’m very unsettled. I slide over to retrieve the glowing sword, oblivious to Sunjata’s injury (sorry dude) and say aloud, “It’s a warning that something has woken up. I've never seen it before and I’m not sure we should go any further... Can you get back out or do you need uh - help?” If Sunjata seems to need help. I try and use the sword as light to guide him backwards, away from the rocks. By the light of the sword I also try to turn and try to signal silently to Melita and Loren that we shouldn’t go this way. If something is awake, do I really want to be yelling? Not so much. I’ll explain once we get back to the boat. ------------ Raza reads the writing and relays the warning and dead end to Sunjata, offers to help back him out if he needs it. Tries to signal to Melita and Loren that the left hand tunnel ain’t the way to go anymore. the Firebrand

The boat was still damaged, unfortunately. So he continued focusing on the ice patch holding out the water. His magic continued to flow out of him, doing what he could to hold off the water and keep the ice in place.
If he was able to see Raza's hand signals, he'd try to get the boat out of the tunel using a combination of his water magic and an oar. Similarly, if Sunjata communicates with him, the healer would do the same. Loren continues to hold the ice patch together using his water magic.

i can't believe that you could just say
that "the answers unlock this gate" A quiet whine slips from his body as he feels the rocks brush up against his stomach, leaving small markings in their wake — that annoying feeling of being grated — before the sword flies over their heads and he stills, waiting for Raza’s word. The sentence isn’t promising, but Sunjata hums to her in understanding. We’re turning around! He shouts to the bond, hoping Loren can hear it.
And then he takes the painstaking moment to wiggle beneath Raza, trying to stay light enough to slink back and turn around to face the boat again and choose a new direction, hoping he doesn’t slice up more of himself than necessary. At least Loren’s on the boat and might feel willing to help out if he does. Sunjata tries to back out of the tunnel with Raza and the sword, back toward the boat to choose a new direction!

to be lit up from within vein by vein The unknown hovered and harpooned around them. The honeybee youth watched, as the sword made it, as the words were read, as the news was spread that something had been woken up. Based on their prior predicaments with monsters, mayhem, and anything else lurking around corners, within fathoms, they likely didn’t want to tangle with it. While they had weapons, she wasn’t certain the boat would be able to hold up, and getting immersed into something deadly or detrimental this early on would simply spell one more angle of disaster. “Okay, let’s go back,” was a quiet association, a level of disappointment. A brief sigh flickered and flooded, but then she marshalled on, head held high all the more. There were other routes to travel, and they hadn’t been fortunate enough to find the answer initially – that wasn’t how this world had ever worked. She went to grab an oar, presuming Sunjata and Raza would be following them, intending to help Loren guide the vessel backwards, from whence they’d come. “We still need to figure out how to repair this thing,” she murmured and whispered, as if not to disturb the rest of the tunnels, furrowing her brow, thinking, thinking, thinking as they strived to hasten along. -- Melita grabs an oar and tries to help Loren back out of the tunnel to go find a new direction. to be the sun MELITA Age: 7 | Height: | Race: Attuned | Nationality: Natural | Citizenship: Hollowed Grounds Level: - Strg: - Dext: - Endr: - Luck: - Int:

raza Now that we’re all back at the boat, I look at it with a critical eye - though Loren has valiantly kept it afloat, it’s clear ice just isn’t going to work. All of a sudden an idea comes to me. “What if we flip it? Might be enough room t’ give it an air pocket ‘n keep it afloat. Then we could tow it into wherever we try next.” Gesturing to the tunnels, I continue. “They both look more shallow ‘n this one. It could be safe until we get back.” Assuming we make it back. As long as Sunjata doesn’t get stuck in Orca form and beach himself, we should be able to tug it up and tie it somewhere. Looking down at Sunjata I pat him fondly (yes, it’s weird and I know it’s weird as soon as I do it) and ask, “I’m not sure what’s the best way. One of us might need to get wet. Can you hold all three of us or nah?” Regardless of who opts to join me on Sunjata’s back, I reach out for the items we’ve all brought - the lantern, the weapons, the bags, hoping that the others can help figure out the rest. As for which tunnel - I leave it up to them, my choice ended up being a dud. ------------ Raza suggests tipping the boat to keep it from sinking. If the others agree, she keeps her position behind Sunjata’s fin and takes the items they’ve brought with them. Raza abstains from choosing a tunnel again. the Firebrand

With that being said, his brow furrowed in concentration. A length of leather cord appeared in his hands. Taking it, he also picked up the oars. To the best of his ability, he tried to lash the oars to the side of the boat to cover the hole. It wasn't something he had any particular experience in, but hopefully his patchwork job would actually work this time.
Glancing at the other two tunnels, he frowned a bit. "I vote for the dry one. Straight ahead." However, he'd defer to the others' judgment if they had a better idea. Loren makes some leather cord using summoning and creation magic. He used it to try and lash the oars to the side of the boat to cover the hole.

i can't believe that you could just say
that "the answers unlock this gate" Silently he thanks Safrin for the ability to fucking get out of the cave, using what momentum he can get to get him and Raza backwards back toward the boat, shifting to turn and take the lead of the slightly sinking boat. He can vaguely hear Raza’s instructions on the boat, paying closer attention when she pats him – thinking nothing really of it, because at this point he certainly is an animal and just that – the instincts of that overriding.
So he speaks to Loren, because that’s the only way he truly can respond to Raza with the inquiry she gives. Tell her that at most I think I could fit her and Melita. You might have to swim as a goose or fly above though. There’s a hint of humor in that before bobbing his large head to the dry tunnel straight ahead. And he begins to head that way, prepared to get far enough to where Raza might be able to dismount on dryer land before he shifts to his regular human form. Sunjata tells Loren to tell Raza that he could probably only fit Melita and Raza on his back if they need to. He also agrees with the tunnel straight ahead!
