PRP: Tunnel Trek Returns

[Circe]

The Lost have returned to the final stop on their trip to the Western half of their tunnels. The Y intersection leading to this area now had a mesh get cemented into the floor and ceiling, a swinging gate included. The Changelings worked fast to secure their back door. They might want to add a padlock too at some point. Granted, most Lost and Hobgoblins wouldn't be slowed down by it at all, but wildlife certainly would.


And Circe was happy to return there to finish this. After making Walmart quite profitable. Goblin Market hobs would hate the concept of such a place if they ever learned of it. The Fairest was more armored this time then prior, including the anti-snake gaiters. She would be glad to finish this. The wheel barrel had been brought back to their newly installed gate.


So that the Summer Queen could load in both snake hooks and both extra snake gaiters into it until the Liam and Sera arrived. The things were a little awkward to attach the first time, thank you manuals. She'd help.

[Seraphina]

Someone tells you leather pants were good against getting bit by a snake, you wear leather pants.
These were not her good pair, but they were still leather pants, and she loved how they made her legs and ass look. Maybe she should wear them more often? A thought for later.

Steel toed boots, knee high was laced tightly to her legs, no way a giant lizard thing was getting one of ‘em this time. Her hair was braided down in back, the green effortless weaving into it. The green had been weird, but she had come to love it.

Walking into the area, “Hey Circe!” greeted the Spring. “How’s it going? Something I can help with?”

[Liam Gelt]

Liam enters shortly after his Monarch, now armed and armored to the Ogreish teeth. He's wearing heavy boots and thick leather pants which, while just short of padding, still covered his ankles. In his hands he carries a raccoon trap and a couple of cattle prods: baton-sized implements capable of shocking errant wildlife; these he holds with as much care as he can.

"Hey all! Ready for the next march?" He sets his raccoon trap in the wheelbarrow if there's room, then shows off both batons. "Careful with these, I've already almost zapped myself. He offers one to Sera, knowing by now that Circe makes a habit of keeping herself well armed. "This should keep any more Gilas off your toes, Sera. Think you'll need one of these Circe?"

[Circe]

Circe:
Liam was not wrong, seeing as how Circe's belt featured not only her pistol and a knife but a plethora of pistol magazines.


"Oh ho ho ho, we are Team Tight, our asses certainly look it! Though fer tight fashion, I seam better dressed then the Springs." Well, Seraphina and Liam might have the legs tight, the Summer Queen's garment was tighter. It covered her chest and, well, everything below the neck really.


"Yes ya can Sera," she grabs the gaiters and making room for the trap, "You and Liam. Show me some leg." Circe waggles her eyebrows, "So that they can get extra armor," she whacks the gaiter in her left hand against the gaiter on her left leg. It is a very solid sound.


As for the cattle prods, "Good fer poking things in holes. Plus rubber," she smacks her own armored ass, "Keep me from self zapped. Or the two of ya from zapping me if something needs a rasslin'." Something non-lethal like a cattle-prod probably wouldn't penetrate. Then again, the Springs' own leather trousers likely would stop the zap from getting through. Then again, she had the sticks too for hole poking.


"And which way do we want ta go at the end o' the tunnel? Left or right?"


As soon as she has access to a leather clad leg, Circe will start strapping on the snake gaiters to her Spring comrades.

Narration:
The cage fits into the wheel barrel. Left would be West and right would be East. The three Lost are currently at the Gate on the map.

[Seraphina]

A smile and wave were offered to the Orge, “Hey Liam.” Carefully accepting the offered baton, turning it over in her hand as she looked at it. “Awesome! Thanks!” making sure to hold it on the correct end, away from her body. “But I’d love to see one of them get these boots off.” Sounding quite sure of her boots.

Raising an eyebrow to the Summer, “Seam better than a Spring?” sapphires widen, “Shall we have a spin off?” joking, but a little serious as well. Not that she knew she was the best Spinner, that honor still sat with Mhairi in her opinion. But Sera was pretty damn good in her right. “But yeah, I love leather pants.” And they loved her.

Looking a bit confused, “That’s going to be a bit difficult. Between the leather and the boots,” which went up to her knees, “I’d have to take the boots off and then the pants. And I’m not sure what the plan was today, but I don’t think it includes me half naked.” A smirk and laugh.

“So poke and zap.” A nod, “Got it.” Didn’t sound complicated.

“I say right. Why?” a shrug, “Sounds good?”

[Liam Gelt]

Liam smiles disarmingly to Circe, but he's a bit self-conscious about the tight pants comment. He's not the kind to consider himself attractive, especially when compared to the beauty of the Monarchs present. "Well thank goodness, I was worried those lizards would start aiming for our butts instead of our legs." Wait...that probably wasn't the best way to phrase that. He stretches his leg out so Circe can present the leather gaiters and then the Giant assists in securing them around his thighs like lightweight greaves. His legs were already feeling a bit heavier, though that was hardly a problem to his strength. He chuckles at the passage of puns between Circe and Sera, glad to be in the company of good-humored Lost.

"Right sounds like a good way to go." He thinks back to their last trip down here. Was that section of tunnels near water? Would they be using the aquatic drone Circe had? He was certainly looking forward to seeing the little gadget at work.

[Circe]

"Of course, yer tightness is only have as complete as mine," she slaps her silicon covered arm, proudly showing of her superiority in this endeavor. "Yer hubby probably loves leather on ya more than you do Sera," Circe laughs at Seraphina.


"Ya wear the gaiters over yer clothes Sera," she explains the gaiters, "Just like most other armor, observe! With the lovely legged lieutenant Liam" With Liam's help she demonstrates how they are put on. "Thank you Liam. Now, we just need ta protect the least muscled legs in our group," she looks to Seraphina and sings, "Come on, give in ta peer pressure, go martial."


She looks to Liam, "Back me up here bro. I'll even lug the wheel barrel on the way this time."

Narration:
Whilst the Lost bicker, in the dark there is naught of note. Humans scare away small animals, and the Lost are more dangerous than humans. Whence they do get moving down the tunnels, back to whence they last stopped, they can keep their sense peeled for trouble with Perception rolls.

[Seraphina]

The Nix laughs, “Now that would be a sight!” the lizards going after butts.

Another laugh and shrug, “You’re probably right on that one.” Maybe it was time to wear them more often.

When Circe explains the gaiters go over the clothes, she nods, “That makes more sense.” Having not been aware of that before, she wasn’t embarrassed by her lack of knowledge. The Treasured never claimed to know everything.

As Circe demonstrates putting them on Liams leg, she nods with ohh’s and ahhh’s. Shrugging, she walks over and lets Circe put them on her legs.

Grabbing one of the headlamps from her bag, she puts it on her head, ready for the adventure!

[Liam Gelt]

Liam gives a playful spin-turn once the gaiters are attached, modeling them for the ladies present. "You know, when I was little I loved getting dressed up as a cowboy. Good to know there's still stuff like this in my size." There's a wistful look in his eyes for a moment, as he thinks back to when he could truly be called 'little'. "It's not like we have to wear armor day-to-day, so I'm glad we have a refresher. Hey! Have you made armor before, Circe?" It wouldn't hurt to know where to get something custom-tailored if it was needed. If not for size, than maybe for scaring foes off...in a knightly, preventative kind of way of course.

Liam looks a bit surprised at Circe's offer to push the wheelbarrow, but doesn't begrudge the Summer Monarch. "Sure! Be my guest." He takes point, unless one of the Fairest take it first, and keeps his eyes peeled for any possible knee-high dangers.

[Circe]

Circe:
"Well, it would be glutes maximus dining fer them," she jests on the butt eating. Not an original joke, she'd gotten that from a cannibal in San Francisco. At least Seraphina was willing to wear the damn armor Circe bought. Though in all honesty? "Okay, Liam?" She looks to him as he spins, "Gaiters look better on you then us. I will admit that."


As for the question of making armor, Circe hefts the wheelbarrow as the three head into the tunnel in the direction of the undiscovered country. "Yes," is her quick answer of making armor, "Made kindling armor, pretty armor, and real armor from bones. Wyrd cheat on all save what I'm wearing now," Circe can't hold the wheelbarrow and emphasize with a slap again but she could wiggle her hips plenty, "Tight and a good under armor," then winces, "Bitch ta pull off when yer cut through though. Better ta just destroy and recycle."


It was possible that doing that with her forge meant the silicon rubber suits were more fae then mortal now, but they'd showed no signs of such to her. Plus, there was always loss of material when she tried doing that.

Narration:
The Lost do not see the dangers in the tunnel. They do see the footprints and several horizontal paired lines cutting through the dust of the floor. A quick look behind them by Liam reveals common sense information. Those lines are from the wheelbarrow. He knows it is their own tracks. Circe is able to notice a few mice quietly scurry about in the tunnels, hiding from the lights of the Lost. They don't attack.


The three have no new dangers as they return to the T junction, taking their right turn. The path doesn't rise or fall, just staying the same before turning North. And then East and North again. Thus do they find their first challenge.


The path has terminated in a flight of downward stairs. Wide stairs but still stairs.


The Lost may make perception or Wits + Survival rolls to notice things. The three have two options for proceeded. First, they can make a combined Strength roll to get the wheelbarrow down the stairs with everything still inside it. It'd take a few minutes to roll it down safely.


Second, take 40 minutes to empty it out, carry stuff down, and reload it at the bottom.

Circe:
Circe frowns as she looks at the stairs, "So? Who wants ta brace this thing from the front on the way down?"
