" Ahaha good, good! I do think it is working yes and with excellent timing, I can see the passage opening now."

I also note that the skull we entered though is shutting as well. The grinding sound continues to echo throughout the cavernous confines of the room though we no longer need to put pressure on the statue. I suspect now that this is a hydraulic over-ride of some sort.

I note that Fields has taken the Spanish saber for himself and Clara still has the shield and pick should she need it.

I select a fresh torch from a few mummified limbs wrapped together, I suppose we could use the dynamite and collapse a tunnel if something truly dangerous is coming for us now, and did you say they were being led? I did not notice a leader among them.

Regardless this new passage was is, well it's quite a shift from the austere and sterile crypt. The walls are lined in stone panels depicting dark, curly headed youths and healthy young women engaged various modes of pleasure beneath an endless forest of gold and a star-filled sky.

A bright, white light catches the end of the tunnel in a regular fashion.

you know the phrase 'when the gods play dice'? well right now the gods are playing a game, one of them was using the mummies as his game piece. stay on the look out for traps, would be just like them to have a pitfall right in front of the stairs.

>>202307

That might be true. Or it might just be a bunch of odd creatures playing a game. But what I know is, it's a metaphor for premonitions we may receive about upcoming events. How real it is I can't say, but I can say that "Red has a Trump Major, and his turn is coming soon" means something big is coming, and it's out for your heads.

"Led" is something of a stretch I guess. Suffice to say whoever set up that mummy trap didn't anticipate the existence of firearms, and probably doesn't plan ahead too much. But that's only one player in the situation, and others are much more dangerous.

The hall ends in what looks to have been some kind of waiting room. It looks vandalized and stripped of most ornamentation, though a few rags and bones litter the floor.

There is a large and formerly ostentatious chain bridge here extending out over darkness, Fields creeps up near and eyes it, testing the the first step carefully with his hands.

We didn't mention it before because it did seem a bit sketchy and of questionable use. It was only recently that it seemed to become suddenly very relevant and deadly.

If I had to guess I would say the origional inhabitants of the city may have caused some of the damage, perhaps before it was buried. Although, something about how this city is buried, yet still functioning in a way does not make much sense with any appropriate timescale.

>>203706

If a civilization arose that gained the power to completely destroy themselves, how would you ever know? Don't underestimate old stuff.

It seems Fields would rather die than have his life hanging in the balance with yours. How odd. Anyway, continue down the bridge.

We proceed to cross the bridge, Clara and I take the lead, while Fields moves somewhat ponderously behind us.

>"Uh, air is awful in here. You smell that?"

"Stagnant, rotten really, probably bats or somesuch creature calls this home."

>"Are bats really blind I wonder, wouldn't theh just hit the walls?"

"I wouldn't know, never asked one."

bat's are not blind, their eyesight is just very weak. and they see via echolocation. a method of seeing by hearing. it's complicated but needless to say bat's don't need light to navigate.

>>203848

Bats aren't blind. They have tiny eyes though so people think they look blind. They avoid running into walls in the darkness by screeching really high and avoiding the resulting echoes. Echolocation.

Why is Fields moving so slowly? Is he just nervous, or is he really struggling to stay upright? He's not super heavy or anything, is he? Also I...think there's something below the bridge...

>>203848
It seems as though Mr. Fields is afraid of heights. Look after him, won't you?

That is quite interesting, if somewhat inapplicable in our current situation.

While he has loaded himself up with valuables Fields didn't show any signs of slowing before the bridge. We've reached about the middle and he's at a snail's pace, creeping along, clinging to the the railing.

>>203852
Yes, yes of course, I must help him. I pass Clara the torch and go back.

"Fields, do you need some help?"

"I-I can't, I just..."

"Look just hold on, I'm coming, you should hav-"

He slips, his sack of valuables spilling between the over-sized slats.

For a moment he heaves and I'm afraid he may dive off after it, instead he vomits and I catch a whiff of the acrid bile as I steady him.

"Look, no, don't look down look at me. You are 'not' going to fall. Just don't look down, there is nothing to see there."

just get him up and keep moving. promise that when we tell the story we will just skip this part.

Think of your hands. Feel your hands holding the railing. Strong hands. You can do this. Just keep thinking about the feeling of your hands holding the railing.

>>204422

After see if any of the valuables can be still saved.

Not likely we can't even see how far they fell. Regardless, he is still wearing enough expensive looking jewelery to make the Queen blush.

"Just think of your hands, not the fall, not the treasure, just your hands and how strong they are. We're going to skip over this part when we tell the story of course.

We'll come back with workers, and equipment and lights. Think of that, the 8th wonder of the world. You will be famous. We just have to keep moving"

"Thankyou.. I just... heights... the air.. and-and that damn light keeps..."

His head jerks up and his eyes snap open as he fixes his gaze somewhere behind me.

"Oh God... The light, The Light has stopped moving. It's just STOPPED!"

oh damn, pick the sod up and book it. we need to get off this thing yesterday!

"Ehh?"

His voice hisses in panic as I turn to see the light from the nearest tower is indeed focused directly at the two of us.

"They're watching us... They are aware! We have to move, NOW! RUN!"

Fields leaps forward, I hear a kind of snap and he's suddenly running faster than I've ever seen anybody run.

>"Wait, what's goen on? What's happening?"

"I don't kno-"

"RUN!"

The light is still tracking him.

move move move. he must be using some kind of speed boost magic.

>>204703

You heard the man. Cheese it! Shit is about to get real! Don't stop now!

If the light shines on you though, fire a bullet at it. This is a hunter you're dealing with. Running away just makes him chase faster.

Extracts of 90 year old Sec Data Core Log on the first day of 'The Incident" at Site 'B'

Log is approximately 3 seconds concerning the decision processes engaged in the firing of Luminary Tower 16 in what is now the Alpha Lab Gardens next to the Specimen Housing Center.

Findings are... not quite as expected.

I hear a whine and sudden mechanical shriek as Fields is lost in the glare of a crackling shaft of obliterating energy, board are blasted to bits and chains spit sparks as the pyrotechnic spectacle sweeps back along the bridge, towards us.

>>205141

THEY'RE SWEEPING THE WHOLE BRIDGE WITH THAT THING JUUUUMP

>>205141

Might be a good time to try save the rest of the valuables!!!

We jump, we fall... God if you are there... I would like to land on something soft... if that be your will.

Preferably not those valuables...
