Taking Sapphira's hand in one of her own and Basil's in the other, the huntress takes a deep breath, taking solace in her sister's gentle squeeze of her hand.
Once they've all joined hands, Kelda looks back at Master Ardin, "Okay, we're ready as soon as you are. Thank you so much, for just everything. We really appreciate it." She says, while trying to mentally prepare herself for magical travel.
You feel your stomach drop as the room fades into nothingness. A moment later, you find yourselves in a barren building. Empty bookshelves and crates line the walls and a thick layer of dust kicks up as you materialize.
Sapphira scrunches up her nose at the musty smell in the room, "Eewwee...gross, where are we?"
Kelda shrugs while looking around for anything to help them find their way out of the abandoned mines, "I'm not sure exactly. I was pretty young when the mine was shut down, so I've never actually been in it. I've only heard stories of what it used to be. It looks like this might have been some kind of storage room or office? Let's just look around and see if we find anything to help us get out of here."
Kelda explains while searching the room for any clues on how to get out of the mines.
"Ardin said we'd be at the quarry, so probably one of the outbuildings." Lysitia replies, taking in the condition of the abandoned building. "I guess once we're outside, we'll have a better idea of how far we are from Varota."
Nodding, Jade moves around the fringes of the room looking for anything notable.
Jade determines that this building has been thoroughly and methodically cleaned. The bookshelves and crates are crude objects and not worth salvaging.
A solitary door provides the only exit from this room, but Kelda's eyes are drawn to the wall opposite of the door. Something seems off to the dwarf.
Kelda goes to the wall that doesn't seem quite right, and inspects it more closely.
Kelda sees that the wall was definitely crafted by dwarves, but notices a part that doesn't look like the rest. A solid whack could probably break it apart.
Kelda runs her hand over the wall for a moment, "Hmmmm....interesting."
Taking out her hammer, Kelda swings at the odd bit of wall.
Kelda manages to put a crack in the false bit of wall, but not enough to break through.
Kelda takes another couple whacks at the wall.
Kelda grunts in frustration before taking another swing at the wall
Kelda makes no progress on the wall, only wearing herself out.
"Let me try love!" Lysithia says casting a spell to empower her staff.
Taking a deep breath, she embraces her natural growth, increasing in size as she drives the butt of her staff into the wall with as much force as she can muster.
Breathing heavily, Kelda nods and steps away from the wall to give her love room.
Lysithia breaks apart the weak part of the wall and uncovers a small iron coffer.
Returninging to her normal size, Lysithia uses the butt of her staff to push away the debris, taking a moment to study the iron coffer.
Kelda sighs as her love comes up with the most obvious solution to the stubborn wall, "Why didn't I think of that? Good job love, I wonder what it is?"
