Amelia stands, looking between the three paths, quite literally at a road block and unsure which way to go.
uuhhh. guys, um hey, where did everyone go?! So deep in thought was she, that she had completely missed the others leaving. With a Eep she quickly ran down the path of the lightning bolt. I always loved thunderstorms. besides, lightning is quick, and more importantly, free. How I'd like to be.
A spirit of an elf appears and smiles, she calmly says, "I know you must rush to find the Wardstone but freshen yourself and eat before you go. Trust me it will be worth the time."
You find a suit of armor and several sets of clothing set aside to dry.
Down another tunnel to a fine room with a pool of clear water, furniture, couches, bowls with fruit, and piles of folded towels next to the pool. You can see two more tunnels that come into the room and on the opposite wall a short tunnel that looks out over a forest.

You also see Saronis swimming in the pool, finishing cleaning his armor.
Upon leaving and seeing the spirit she thanked them warmly before she saw Saronis her heart lifted. "Love" She breathed as she moved to the swimming pool.
"I always trust you beloved, but let me get my armor off first. Not the strongest swimmer am I." Maqan reminded him before she took her chain shirt off, as well as her boots and socks. "How is the water?" She asked as she stepped in, testing the water.
When she found it to her liking she entered fully and wrapped her arms around Saronis, lips meeting his in a passionate kiss. After all this was the last room before they where out right?
His smile forming into a grin watching her undress, he coughs before saying, "The water is a bit chilly but after you have been in it for a while it feels great. The spirit said if we swim along that tunnel we can find the hot springs."
He wrapped his arms around her waist, fully kissing her back passionately. She could feel he was already fully erect. "Mmmm, mmmm, let's get to the hot springs before the others come along. We can have some alone time."
She pulled his hand a bit before she dove into the water and swam for the hot springs. Once there she removed the rest of her, now wet clothes, and set them out to dry a bit before climbing into the much warmer waters with a sighed.
"After... After that battle I..." Maqan paused and said no more. She didn't want to ruin the moment and just enjoy her lover's touch. As he lavished attention upon her breasts, she reached between them stroked him gentle.
Urdrsk begins to take his backpack while asking a question of the spirit. "Dò yá knòw hòw clósé wè áré tò thè sùrfàcè?"
Hegron grabs the opportunity to drink from the fresh water falling from up above.
He takes off his boots, clothes and gear, placing them carefully in the shore but closeby, then enjoys a dive in the clean water to wash off the remaining gore from the mimic attack earlier.
Once done, he retrieves his things, dresses and looks for another way out of the cave - if none presents itself, he will try to wade in closer to where the pool may be emptying to the underground tunnel.
huh... thats strange.. Her curiosity and natural wanderlust gets the best of her and goes down the path that the illusory stones hid.
The spirit does not reply to Urdrsk but with an open palm directs your gaze to one more tunnel leading out to fresh air and a view upon a forest.
The path that you came from continues on in another tunnel along the way. Down that tunnel you come to a fine room with a pool of clear water, furniture, couches, bowls with fruit, and piles of folded towels next to the pool. You can see two more tunnels that come into the room and on the opposite wall a short tunnel that looks out over a forest.

The stairs end, after about a hundred steps, onto a mine cart track and crude tunnel. Just beyond the track you can see helmets, pickaxes, pitons, and an assortment of mining equipment. The tracks run to the left for a bit to a closed door. As the tracks run into an open tunnel the other direction.
Dealing with the animals in such a good manner and interacting with the hawk gives you several options: gain a hawk as a familiar, increase your fast healing by 1, or you can speak with animals 3/day as the spell at your level.
The added phoenix spirit within you gives you the ability to either gain true resurrect 1/month as technically before it should have been 1/year (1 minute after being slain), [or] gain the phoenix bloodline of a sorcerer and +2 cha.
Bathing in the hot spring makes one of your tattoos powered up, your choice. You also confer it to Maqan, let her know what it is and such.
He couldn't hold back any more especially after her words, pounding into her letting his ecstasy take over and he shuddered within her. Enjoying their kiss and just holding her to him in the water. He shuddered again as the pleasure engulfed him fully. He whispers softly when their mouths separate to breathe, "I love you Maqan. You make me whole."
"I love you too Saronis." Maqan told him as she laid her head upon his chest, listening to his heart beat. "There is... some things I wish to speak of when we get out of here. I promise they're nothing bad. It is just my time upon this world will be much less than yours... so I want to make the most of it." She explained, then she moved on of her hands down his arm to take a hold of his hand. She moved it from her hips to the front of her body, placing his hand over her womb. "I want to ensure you won't be left all alone when I'm gone."
There are two packs hanging on the wall with several weapons near them.
Once you get out of the water you notice a tattoo on your right arm. It seems to be faintly glowing with magic.
Hegron takes a look around before entering the room, then pauses hesitantly as the spirit appears - "Well met... I am Hegron. Do we know each other?"
Seeing Urdrsk, you notice that his heavy armor is mimicing Saronis' style with the same burning bird on his chest.
With his flashy armor on, the dwarven hero waits for any others to arrive by sitting in a chair. When Hegron walks in, Urdrsk greets the young half-orc, turning his chair away from the pool as to give Hegron some privacy.
Relaxing a bit as he senses no ill will from the Spirit, Hegron washes his face and hands on the bowl of clear water, then using one of the towels to dry himself.
Partaking from the fresh fruit, he profits from this moment of respite and rests in one of the couches - "Thank you for your hospitality" - he nods at the spirit, biting down on an apple.

"Master Urdrsk!" - Hegron greets the dwarf - "I do not know what to make of this very unusual experience - are you well? Your armor - it seems to depict the same heraldry as the one belonging to Saronis?" - he adds, picking up two peaches and beginning to eat them after a thankful bow to the spirit.
The dwarf sulked, looking to an empty corner, trying not to insult the spirits further.
He eyes you with a knowing look but gives you a kiss. Quietly he says, "Just something to be more aware of, don't cut our time short... plus you have the little one to think of." The last sentence is said with a giggle.
You remember how the rune looks and could draw it.
Once done with the room to the left you head to the right down the tunnel.
Continuing on you see a tunnel to the right. The mine cart tracts don't go that way.
Once she reaches the tunnel, she looks down it with wide eyes. She glances back towards the tracks, back down the tunnel, back to the tracks, before jogging in place for a moment and saying Ohhhh, I know I shouldn't... before walking down the tunnel without the tracks.
"Ok, no more talk about it" - Hegron smiles - "How was your trek to this place? Mine was... Strange"
He swims up into the main pool. Once he breaches the water he looks back just in time to see Maqan do the same. He waves to Urdrsk and Hegron, "Hail there fellows!" then continues to swim over.
Urdrsk gives a non-committal wave to the swimming elf noble. Ancestors, please don't let him say anything about the armor!
"Those look impressive indeed... Were you already familiar with those titles? I don't think I ever read anything about them" - the half-orc seems genuinely curious, observing the covers up close.

"Well met again! Are you well?! You seem well.." - Hegron greets Saronis.
"Hey everyone!" Maqan said with a smile as she got out of the water. "There are hot springs back there! They're great." She told them as she tried to wring her hair out. "How was your paths here?"

"Nò, bùt thèsè tòmès àrè òftèn qùòtèd ìn òthèr dwàrvèn tàlès ànd hìstòrìès", Urdrsk began. "Stònèwàrdèn Clàn ìs à mìnìng clàn, bùt Ì'vè àlwàys wàntèd tò lèàrn hòw tò smìth, màkè wèàpòns òf hìghèst qùàlìty. Fòr èxàmplè, stònè àrmòr ìs òùr òldèst yèt hàrdèst tò mànùfàctùrè àrmòrs."
