He looked upon her face, sensing some vague familiarity that he couldn’t quite recognize. He dismissed the feeling as nothing more than something trying to claw its way to the front of his mind. Perhaps it was a nostalgia of some sort?
“Tekun Valos. A pleasure Elenwe…” He groaned as he stood up painfully into a sitting position. “…Broke my light. Damn.” He let out an exasperated sigh as he slowly climbed to his feet unsteadily. “…So…how long have you been down here and how do we get out? Ugh…” He groaned again, clearly sore from the fall. “…that hurt.”

Almyra begins looking around the room for anything that may open the door. She closes her eyes for a moment, channeling a small amount of her magic, then opens them. The strings are now visible to her, and would assist her greatly in finding something linked to the door such that it would open it.
It would be revealed that the wolf's head on the door could be pressed. It would slowly and creakily open up the stone door, a gust of stale air and putrid stench greeting the explorers standing outside this chamber. The room was completely pitch black, and would require illumination or darkvision.
In the Rift...
Elenwe sat up straight, and lit her own lantern, giving a little more warmth in the sheltered rift. It was actually spacious down below, with three small caves surrounding them.
"I'd say about an hour has passed... though I'm just now shaking off the effects of the fall." She set her sword to stand against the rock formation, the sheathe made of leather straps allowing Tekun to see the Frejlordian frost blade. The runes indicated its owner: Elenwe, daughter of Svefnir.
"...We're actually in the middle of a cave complex. I haven't moved much, really... Its a large den of wolves, and they're currently circling us, waiting for us to make a move." She said, letting out a sigh. The tunnels were low and narrow, putting anyone at a major disadvantage against the beasts.
"I tried talking to them, but it seems they haven't eaten in awhile, and won't let us pass unless we find them food... or become food."

Seeing that the wolf head was directly linked to the door, Almyra pressed on it. As the door opened, she seemed not to mind the stench. She had been through a lot on her various wanderings, nauseating stenches were far from the worst she had endured. She held up her hand and created a small orb of chaos energy in her hand, it glowed a dim green, illuminating an area of about 8 feet around her.

"Oh god that smells awful." Garth said as the door opened and he was assaulted by the putrid stench. Piltover smelled at least hundred times better than this place did. In Piltover one could smell the delicious food from a block away. It was quite dark, and unfortunately while his augmented eye gave him increased vision, his other eye did not. When Almyra created an area that lit up eight feet, Garth decided that maybe he could help further. He took off his backpack and removed climbing rope and a flashlight. Then he reassembled his LS-457 rifle after removing those parts from his backpack.
Then he took the flashlight and tied it to the bottom of the barrel on his rifle with the climbing rope. He turned the flashlight on illuminating about ten foot cone in whichever way his rifle was pointed.
"I figure the more we can see the less things or traps can catch us off guard." Garth explained his actions as he pointed the end of his rifle into the darkness. He held it up in a shooting position this way should there be a monster he would be more than prepared.
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!
Adelheid entered the place right behind Garth. “[It seems like something died in here…or a lot of things]” Then with a movement of her hand an Ex-revolver appeared in one of her hands and a lantern on the other. “”
As the emerald light of Almyra's sorcery brought illumination to the long abandoned room, The chamber floor was littered with the bones of the dead... skeletons, but missing skulls.
The room would not be silent for long, as the 'bats' on the ceiling Elenwe described awoke- and were not bats at all. These horrific creatures seemed like demonic, winged heads, mouths and eyesockets aglow with an otherwordly green energy. Six Vargouilles descended upon the party, opening their assault with their stunning screams, attempting to disorient their prey...

As the Vargouilles screamed, Almyra fell to her knees, gripping her ears. If any came close to her though, she would attempt to attack them using her Hands of Change, she may miss, and her attacks would not deal much damage to them, only slightly stronger than as if they were punched, but if she could reorient herself, it would lead to her dealing more damage to them with later attacks
Adelhied felt the terrifying screams of the foul beasts that inundated the place increased by the eco of the room. She felt an unnatural fears clouding invading her mind and a numbness invading her body surely products of some short of magic that the creatures used to weaken they prey…weaken silly. "[Well note to self never trust on spooks again…ever.]" She shot one of the creatures on the center of the head and ran to Almy and shyboy in order to help them.

Garth saw the skeletons and noticed their missing heads. Then the bats....that weren't bats. Rather they were heads with wings instead of ears. Garth stepped back at the sound and tried to focus the mana into the barrel of his rifle. The screeches were too distracting, and it became hard to concentrate on that task. His augmented eye did not seem as bothered by these disorienting screeches, however that did not account for the rest of his body.
Seeing of how he could not generate mana he fired off shots. The first shot was more accurate than the rest, and was most likely going to hit or graze one of the Vargouilles, or that is at least what Garth hoped. However, for the most part he was trying to use the gunshots to counteract the screeches. And if some of the rounds hit the beasts then that would be two bats with one bullet.
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!
The trio's weakened counter-attacks proved ineffective, swatting aside two of the creatures only a moment, but Garth's bullet destroying one of the minor undead. The other three swoop in, distending their jaws, and come in for a 'kiss' with each of them...
In the Rift
Spooks was unable to keep communication with the group as the hungry growls of wolves began closing in. She gripped her sword in worry and anticipation.

Almyra's first hits may not have done much, but it helped her to regain her focus and better regain her orientation. As one of the creatures would try to kiss her, she would create her claws and slash at it. They would cause more harm than usual, it would be as though they were sharper than normal and more able to cut through any magical protection.

His eyes widened with surprise. “…You’re the daughter of Svefnir eh?” He questioned as he finally got to his feet and full height. “…I didn’t know he had a daughter. You seemed to have turned out well; I’ll be sure to ask you one hundred questions after we kill these wolves…” He thought back on it; it seemed like only yesterday he was in the North, killing wolves with a certain green Kunoichi. He unstrapped his bastard sword from his back and looked ahead, now on his guard.
“I’ll be damned if I go out due to wolves.” Why was it always wolves? “…Stay near me. I have a reputation for being Immortal. I’ll protect you.”
"You knew my father? well, we'll get to that when we have ourselves a nice cozy fire."
Spooks sighed, looking at the cave, the wolves, then their swords. "I... don't think we can swing our weapons around in the caves. And they're not coming out in the open either." She turned around worriedly; a wolf was about to attack from behind, but having seen it, it simply walked away for another opportunity. These creatures weren't stupid- they had the advantage of home territory and they'd use it.
The wolves in front of them meanwhile, were growling and baring their teeth. They wanted to ambush these humans, not engage in a straight up fight.
Adelheid waited until the foul creature was about to kiss her before drilling it’s head with a summoned giant screw after that she pined the creature against a wall if it was not death it shouldn’t be able to move anymore. “[Ok these creatures are either perverts or this is a fancy way to kill us or convert us…]” She pointed her guns to the rest of the creatures. “[Are all of you OK?]” She asked to Shyboy and Almy to see if they had fend off their part of the swarm.
