[11:53][DOIC6]Dalliance@Gonz.:(Precedence, geez, where didt that come from [11:55][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The gang moves further down the tunnel without incident, until just as they enter another chamber, Aquila would find his foot about to land on a clutch of eggs. Ettore would seize him by the arm.. [11:55][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to try and pull him back before it was too late! (Teamwork, reroll Aquila) [11:56][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he stops his foot and puts it down to the side* Gratitude.

[11:57][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As Valkriss did so, she would see multiple clusters along the sides of the cavern and on the walls. [11:58][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:T'Ghor...look [11:58][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am seeing it. Scanning the eggs right now. [11:58][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A few mid-sized worms scurried out from between the clusters, hissing but remaining near their clutches. [11:58][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we probably should not be in here. If anything provokes these creatures it would be us being in their nest. [11:59][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:-lowers her rfile at the sight of them just protecting their own [11:59][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:If we are careful..we should be fine..they dd not imemdately attac [12:00][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:They are just stayignear their.cltuche [12:00][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... if we give them a wide enough berth we should be fine. [12:01][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] "They're stuck to the sides, so if we stay mostly to the middle, everyone wins. [12:01][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, we give them as much space as we can. And we continue moving." [12:02][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:Admirable species to be hones [12:02][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "If we go single file, we could make it to that next tunnel." *She pointed across the room.

[12:04][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Valkriss, roll to lead the conga line [12:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*With care and grace in each step, Valkriss navigated the chamber past the clutches of eggs. The worms kept a careful watch, scurrying along with the line to make sure they were being careful in.. [12:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:their passage, but ultimately they made it to the next tunnel without incident. [12:07][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I have to admit, they are kinda cute.

The light appeared to be coming from within. [12:10][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:Uh huh..well the worms didnt put this her [12:10][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Don't imagine they didn.

They could see a Beryxian woman weeping softly. [12:17][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:as a Trill man gently pat her back.* "It was millions of years ago, Calyxa... what's done is done...

[12:18][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:-moves towards them now [12:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They looked up as they heard them. A Kirtascan woman stepped out from behind one of the towers. [12:18][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He pulled out his tricorder and started scanning the towers curiously. [12:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Trill] "We've come across some unsettling news... uh, but who are you?
