[caverncity]

You've spent one day at rest in the mountain. You can have two more if you need them, but that might not be wise, seeing as you actually have the chance for a head start. Your call, travelers.

While you're deciding, the cavern dwellers are still quite hospitable. Some of you may even be given gifts; best not to lose those any time soon. The road ahead may be darker than you've yet seen.

[ mission: decide when to move on. optional: butter up a local, maybe get cool swag. ]

[busy trying to decipher the contents of the remedies he received from the local healer]

[he's pretty sure a lot of it is dirt and rocks]

[cabineyes]

[ picks up one of his rocks. ]

These won't get you far.

[frogface]

Thanks, I would have never gathered that myself.

[tosses bottle back into the bag]

[modern and alien medicine. i miss you...]

[cabineyes]

Maybe they want you to make a potion out of it.

[ hey dust can be unbelievably effective. ]

[frogface]

I'm a doctor not a shaman. I know this place functions on a whole new level of fucked up, but that doesn't mean shit if you don't know how to work with it. I prefer logic and biology, thanks.

[pareidoll]

[buttering up you say?]

[thisbites]

[ crouches beside her. you seem to be doing a fair job of being in charge so far. ]

[pareidoll]

[looking at silk scarves. where do they even get the colors for this...]

How's the gang?

[thisbites]

[ cardbetas. except only one of them is a wolf it's sad. ]

Recouping.

[ have they ever chatted beyond her ogling him fishing, challi. ]

What's the plan?

[pareidoll]

[once he got her water while they were on the boat]

Tie up loose ends here and tackle the tunnels good and proper once we're good and ready. It shouldn't take too long, not if we mark our way. Keep track.

[butgrandma]

[shes all tuckered out from rock people partying hard, wake her up if anything important happens]

[thisbites]

[ settles down in the chair by her bedside, sometime after talking to clara. ]

[butgrandma]

[s-sits up and pulls blanket over herself]

Is something wrong?

[cabineyes]

[ can i have a gift too? ]

[ no? maybe i'll just help myself to one. ]

[caverncity]

[ ponderous, heavy footsteps. ]

[cabineyes]

[ oh hey. ]

[ sets down the vase he was inspecting. it wasn't worth much anyway. ]

[caverncity]

[ trundles up beside him and looks at the vase. ]

[andspace]

[ didn't take anything. ]

[butgrandma]

How are you doing so far?

[you know since mysteriously arriving in a foreign land and being forced to travel with a bunch of sweaty humans and maybe not humans]
[aka another day in the life of the doctor]

[andspace]

Fantastic. Reminds me of the Aztecs, without all those pesky human sacrifices.

[butgrandma]

Aztecs?

[she really needs to pick up a history book]

Nick and Clara said they were Chinese.

[now shes really confused]

--I didn't mean this mountain, anyway. I meant you.
