Tynx: Klasi! Are you alright?!

Klasi: I don't know... my leg hurts... and my arm... and my ribs...

Tynx: [Walks over to Klasi] Can you walk?

Ouskar: *bends down* What hurts most?

Klasi: Uh-uh. My leg hurts most, maybe?

Kitty: Maybe you all could carry her. I think I'm a little small... for the moment.

Me: No shapeshifting!!

Kitty: *pouts and goes back to rubbing up against Klasina*

Ouskar: Right. *crouches down* Can you get on my back?

Tynx: [Watches worriedly]

Ouskar: We'll get you up to the top and decide what to do from there.

Jaimie: * watches worriedly *

Tynx: [Ears prick up] Did someones stomach growl?

Ouskar: Mine didn't.

Klasina: Maybe if you help me?

Kitty: That was definitely not my stomach. *goes farther back into the pit/cave/thing*

Tynx: [Tail twicthes nervously] Kitty, wait! Where're you going? [Follows Kitty]

Jaimie: "I heard it...I think it might be up here."

Me: "Maybe not."

Jaimie: * ignores me *

Tynx: [Pauses] Jaimie, don't move. Keep a look out. Ouskar's gonna come up with Klasi. If you see something, keep very still, and don't make eye contact.

Me: You're reassuring.

Tynx: Thank you.

Jaimie: * stays very still *

Me: "Not going to help with avoiding eye contact..."

Jaimie: * furious *

Me:

Me: Er, that's a bit beyond my first-aid knowledge.

Ouskar: I'm going to get in front of you... *explains*

Me: Mine too. At least, the broken ribs...

Klasi: Alright. Then I put my arms around your neck? Kai does that some times. *giggles*

Kitty: I'm investigating! Now shush. I think I smell something.

Ouskar: Correct, grab on and I'll move you to the rope and rig a sling.

Alina: Is it too late to join in?

Tynx: I figured you were investigating. [Follows Kitty cautiously] Feel free to join in, Alina! But be careful, there's someone, or something, else in here with us, and it might not be friendly.

Alina: In what way do you mean "Not friendly" ?

Adrien: *walks in after Alina* What other meaning does "Not friendly" have? It means not friendly

Alina: *with a sigh* Thank you for that, Adrien.

Adrien: *sarcastically* You are very welcome.

Jaimie: "Can you guys hurry it up a bit?"

Ouskar: No. Injuries must be treated cautiously and carefully. Rushing will make them worse.

Jaimie: "Right." * nervous *

Alina: Come, we should catch up.

Adrien: Right. After you.

Alina:

Tynx: [To Alina] Yeah... not friendly. Probably something that lives in here, and doesn't like us in here.

Me: You do a good job at sounding comforting.

Tynx: [Ignores] Alina, Adrien, you two stay up there with Jaimie. We'll be up as soon as we can.

Adrien: Yes Sir, *draws sword*

Alina: Okay then....who is Jaimie?

Tynx: Jaimie is Shawn's character. She's really nice.

Jaimie: * smiles at Tynx's comment * "I'm Jaimie."

Me: "Character description is here, if you want it."

Kitty: *nose twitches* Ugh... it smells like rotting meat back here. Maybe a troll or dragon?

Klasi: *grabs onto Ouskar*

Tynx: Oh, that's just what we need. Be careful, Kitty. [Sniffs, but then scrunches up nose] Eww, that's awful. What died down here?

Me: You probably don't want to know.

Tynx: If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked.

Me:

Ouksar: *carries her carefully to rope and begins making a sling*

Adrien: Right! *motions Alina to follow him as he hurries toward Jaimie*

Alina: *smiles despite the situation that they're in* Hi Jaimie! I'm Alina. Do you know what exactly is going on, besides trying to figure what that awful smelling thing is? *pinches nose and sticks out tongue making an amusing face*

Jaimie: * glad not to be alone * "Hi, I'm Jaimie. Ugh, I don't know what that things is. We were going to look for treasure before the ti- The tide."

Me: * headdesk *

Jaimie: "We need to get Klasi out of there and head farther back into the cave, Tynx."

Tynx: Don't worry, Jaimie, Ouskar and Klasi are heading up now. Kitty and I will be up soon.

Jaimie: "Okay, be careful."

Kitty: @Tynx - I will be? I had no intention of returning! I want to explore! *bounds farther into the pit-cave-thing*

Klasina: *is carried by Ouskar*

Tynx: Kitty, the tide's coming. If it reaches this pit it'll fill up. And besides, I'm not leaving anyone alone or behind.

Alina: I think we should follow Ouskar. What if something is waiting for them at the top?

Adrien: Lady Jaimie, what do you think? Should we follow Sir Ouskar and make sure he and Lady Klasina are safe?

Ouskar: *reaches top and sets her down gently*

Kitty: Okay, no intention of leaving until the tide comes in. It shouldn't be too soon, right?

Klasina: *winces slightly as she's set down but smiles* Thank you, Ouskar.

Tynx: [Pauses] I'm not sure. We probably have enough time to explore a little bit, I guess. Let's just... be careful.

Ouskar: You're welcome.

Jaimie: "I think it will be safer if we go farther back. It looks like the cave slants upwards." * pulls out a roll of bandages * "Would these help?"

Alina: Go farther back?...Like, farther back into the cave? I don't think so! There could be something...something big and...and blood thirsty!

Adrien: Alina, shh. Let the girl speak. What happened to Klasina to cause her to get hurt? Those bandages might be needed if she's wounded. Good thinking, Jaimie.

Kitty: Careful is my middle name! *glances back towards Alina* Who cares if there's a blood thirsty monster? I can handle him!

Klasina: *from up above* You have no middle name.

Kitty: Completely beside the point.

Klasina: *smiles at the girls* Bandages probably would help. I think my leg might be bleeding...

Ouskar: She fell. I have some herbs in my pack. *gestures to pack which he set down*

Tynx: [Smiles] Well, Miss Kitty Careful, let us advance with due caution. [Looks behind him] Klasi's not terribly hurt, is she?

Ouskar: Not fatally.
