[WFRP2e] The Power of One - Part 2 - "Transire Benefaciendo"

Taalia Giovanni


Taalia peered as best she could into the dim cavern below, as if it were an enormous portrait framed by jagged, broken earth, sheets of grass and crooked earth-roots. She could feel the springboard like compression of the ground beneath her, long-buried experience wretched up to remind her of what unstable ground was like - something that was all too familiar from her time as a slave.

Pursing her lips as she heard no response, her excellent hearing not even detecting the shuffling movement of clawed feet upon freshly dug earth to reposition that might suggest a waiting ambush. The boy himself was quiet, but that was probably because he just heard someone speaking the language of the rat-men and had shut his mouth out of fear.

Making a calculated estimation that there was no Skaven present and the boy had just fallen foul of a collapsing tunnel, Taalia looked over her shoulder and back at Bella and the others. Holding the rope with one gloved hand, she signaled that she was going over and down, before looking back at that hole, stepping forward, cautiously, taking her time and using tension within the rope to 'walk' over the edge and down.


OOC:

Down we go.
