Group6 goes north up the passage, and down into the rock, Earthgliding below the Parrot Cloud Of Death6, while the Parrot Cloud Of Death6 goes Earthgliding up to let group6 pass at a safe distance. Then group6 comes back up beyond the parrots6, and goes further north to be able to move the Parrot Cloud Of Death6 a safe distance from location6 so that Ror6 can BOOOOM it, while at the same time group6 continues to stay a safe distance north from the Parrot Could Of Death6. The parrot6s return to the passage and maintain their distance, following group6.
All this maneuvering puts group6 a little more than 200 feet north of location6, with the Parrot Cloud Of Death6 a little more than 100 feet north of location6, following instructions from Janis about keeping a safe distance to make sure no parrot6 is harmed by BOOOOM6, and no one in group6 is harmed by a parrot6.
Ror6 thinks “
BOOOOOM!Love, Janis” and one more time, the floor heaves. A blast of sound and wind hits first the parrots6, and then group6, but they are no longer exactly in line with the north passage leading away from location6, and the passage widens, which together blunt the force of the blowback from the blast. The clatter of a stinging rain of stone shrapnel splashes against the walls of the passage, but the front edge of the rolling pebbles stops short of the parrots6.
Back down the passage around location6, a crash of rock tumbles from the ceiling onto the floor, with thud after thud nearly deafening to Tremorsense. The sound slows to a gravel spill, then stops. Fading echoes from the passage suggest it is now a dead end, or mostly so.
The uneven ceiling overhead in the passage grinds and groans through shake after shake. Fine grit sifts down onto heads and shoulders. A cloud of rock dust envelops the party……...
.........The maneuver to separate BOOOOM, parrots, and party, took group6 all the way through the widened area and slightly into the north passages beyond it.
Just beyond that point, group6 discovers holes that seem the same as group1’s recent report on the Link, two of them. The holes cross shortly to the right, and both continue onward in all directions.
The holes are a roughly uniform height and width, but the walls are not carved, and the floor is not once-smooth, polished stone, now cracked, like the other passages are. Also the ceiling is a more or less uniform height at about 20 feet, unlike the tumbledown ceilings in other parts of the warrens. The corners are rounded and uneven as well, and all surfaces are covered with short scored marks, like shallow scoops taken out of the dense stone. There is hardly any dust on the walls, and hardly any scree where the rounded walls meet the uneven floor, unlike the tumbled piles lining the meeting of walls and floor in the earlier corridors.
A few tumbled areas where parts of the ceiling have fallen partially block these holes, but it looks like picking a way carefully past the falls is not difficult.
All info goes on the Link.
