Wolf hearing Gonyaul's plan chuckled some. "Have you ever explored a labyrinth of caves before? that plan will get us loss and killed. I have been studying the ancient people that once lived here and I will tell you the caves and tunnels expand across this mountain range maybe more. Let us see what supplies we have pack the equipment we might need to explore. You need to rest some as well going into the caves fatigued is a bad Idea." suggested Wolf.
Hunter then spoke up and told Blackwolf that the group went to explore the caves by the camp according to Alexis and while down there Voah and Tarmen were exposed to a toxic glowing mould that caused them to act odd and run off in the tunnels. Its been two days since they vanished and they needed to make a rescue team to get them. Also Gonyaul is panicked to rescue Voah so be patient with him. He also mentioned that the prospector insisted on joining them against his better judgement.
Wolf listened to Hunter's wisdom. "Two days is a long time. What if we eat pack up what we need and move then. I don't know if the horses can even go with us. I am sure there will be places they can travel but I have never seen them do well in tunnels. Also, I have some" he pauses and looks at Islana and give a sigh. "Sketches but if I show you anything you all most sware to tell no one about them. I mean it and don't ask too many questions about how or where I got them," said Wolf pulling out a book. "Out of these sketches can you tell me where we need to start?" asked Wolf.
Hunter stopped Blackwolf and said, "Maybe when we are alone."
“If it is anything like the cave system we have seen in Aquilo, we won’t be able to bring the horses. To dark, to many fissures. More likely than not, we’ll have to climb.”
Alexis explained.
To Hunter’s warning, she subtly nodded.
“From what Balt has found out for us, there should be an entrance in the fort itself most likely.”
Islana had been so distracted by the news she hadn't noticed the prospector until Hunter mentioned him. She glanced over to the new man to the group but there were far more important things to be concerned about.
The young woman listened to the rest of the group as she tended to River.
Hunter then replied, "Alexis what formation do you want us in the caves?"
Wolf gave an untrusting gaze at the prospector then looked at Hunter "Yes, I understand." said Wolf.
Gonyaul’s attention was bouncing around to all the side conversations. He wondered based on what everyone was saying, of which he didn’t catch everything, if they were closer to going yet?
“Let us find them first, then we’ll see. I‘d like to have both blades and eyes on either side, but single file or more will make a difference.“
Alexis decided.
Wolf stood thinking for a moment. "Alexis, Hunter, Gonyaul’s if you trust this prospector I will for now. what is the prospector's name? prospector, introduce yourself please." asked Wolf. as he moved equipment around between packs and saddle bags.
Hunter nodded as he then replied to Blackwolf, "So do you want me or Alexis to study your maps first? We can go elsehwere to do so." Hunter was looking at the book in Blackwolf's hands as he was talking.
Looking back to Hunter and then Alexis "yes that is acceptable," said Wolf.
Malacost stepped forward and cordially introduced himself to the newcomers. Up till now he didn’t want to get in the way of their reunion and conversations. At least that is what he was pretending. “Names Alcuin. Your friends here were so kind to let me tag along to aid in the start of my mining venture. If there is anyway I can be of assistance don’t hesitate to ask.”
"Wolf did not show much not even his normal greeting smile. "Nice to meet you Alcuin. I am Master Boyce Blackwolf you can call me Blackwolf or just Wolf is fine," replied Wolf.
Islana nodded to the prospector. The young woman was trying to shove aside the feelings she was having about this stranger. He was someone Islana didn't know. That had to be it, right? Besides, her friends had allowed him on the trip, so it must be her.
Once Wolf introduced himself, Islana spoke up. "I'm Islana. It's nice to meet you."
Islana nodded to the prospector. The young woman was trying to shove aside the feelings she was having about this stranger. He was someone Islana didn't know. That had to be it, right? Besides, her friends had allowed him on the trip, so it must be her.
Once Wolf introduced himself, Islana spoke up. "I'm Islana. It's nice to meet you."
Malacost nodded and didn’t seem to let on that he noticed the shift in Wolf’s demeanor. “Understood, Wolf it is.”
He turned and smiled warmly to Islana, the same greeting expression he had given the others. “Nice to meet you as well young lady.”
Wolf did give a slight smile "Alcuin, I am glad you are here you should have some experience with caves and tunnels if I am right? what about this area?" asked Wolf.
Malacost stroked his mustache thoughtfully. “First time in this area. But I have had experiences with caves, yes. No two caves are the same, but i hope my past experiences can be of use in finding these friends of yours.”
