ooc: Abyssalstar , Kray , ReubanBrightwood , Sonnie Wu. Sorry for the delay in posting this. Family time was longer than expected each day.

Narration:

Beneath Funderland is a series of tunnels. In fact, it is below a good chunk of Sacramento. Rum Running Tunnels, some sections even used to have tours. Mostly dull grey stone, sometimes brown, often covered in dust and dryness, with its own ecosystem of fungi flora and verminous fauna. The Lost discovered they had access to these tunnels through the theme park.

Being a paranoid lot, the Lost have sought to secure the tunnels as a fall back point and/or to ensure it isn't used to ambush them. Armored doors with multiple locks, metal mesh fences, traps, and walls have secured access, but the Lost discovered something concerning in their last visit. Signs of battle and tales from a dead detective about invisible monsters that melt when killed having infested the tunnels. Tunnels Gremlins by decree of Director Sonja Wu.

The Lost now prepare to return to the tunnels, having come with supplies to help solve this Tunnel Gremlin problem. Cameras, traps, barriers, and bright lights to confirm the existence of the Tunnel Gremlins or not. Which is why the Lost have gathered at the reinforced door that blocks the entrance between the tunnels down from Funderland and into the rum running tunnels.

The old wooden door has been replaced since the Lost first visited. In its place is a sturdy, thick wooden door with multiple hinges compared to the norm. This is to account for the extra weight from the synthetic insulation metal sheets nailed to said door by the Groundskeeper of Sacramento. The door is quite tough, on both sides. There are two padlocks in place in the middle, locked, with dead bolts on the top and bottom, also secured. Circe was paranoid enough to do this on the interior side too.

Their wheel barrow of supplies includes 3 portable very high lumen spotlights, 3 LED lanterns, 4 LED head bands, 4 hard hats, 4 expired 5lbs bags of fine grain flour, 3 LED flashlights, 5 walkie talkies, work gloves, and under a tarp is a 7 foot reel of barbed wire.

Circe:

Circe felt under armored for this, but she really doesn't have the riot suit intact yet. So, body glove it was for now. She was of course quite well armed too, but that was to be expected with Circe. She adjusts her harnesses, checking the wheeled box of supplies. Click, click, the lights were going quite well. Including the small light she'd Velcro attached to her shoulder harness. And pointing backwards. Paranoid? Maybe.

The Ogre makes his way through the door and down into the tunnels under load along with duffel bag off weapons that perform double duty as tool he has a a large bed sheet stuffed full of bits and pieces tied over both shoulders and its significant enough to be putting him off balance.

Stumbling over to the spring queen drawn by the backwards facing light the load is loosened and sent crashing to the ground from which bits and pieces make short bids for freedom. "Uh. Dam." Something was going to make itself a pain to find no doubt. "Hey Circe." Big fingers go to tip his hat only to remember he isn't wearing it today instead the head protection the summer queen had scrounged up for the giant has taken its place. "Ah." Instead grapping that by the top and pulling up an inch in his best facsimile of a show of a respect.

The duffel bag is to thrown down and a variety of tools come out a new and more lethal looking fire axe one with the spike on the back, a shovel, and of course his trusty sledge hammer. "Uh. I brought more snare parts in case we find somewhere we forgot, otherwise they can just be used for odds, ends and repairs if we need them." She had been the one to tell him of rats chewing through concrete so chewing through a snare trap seemed very possible. Hence spares and repairs had sounded like a good plan.

Circe:

Circe is checking her pockets as she hears the heavy footsteps behind her. The option is likely Kray, with a minor chance of Sonja doing little jumpy hops. And then it was voice the told her who it was. "Sup Kray," she said as she turned to see him. She was pulling out a tablet from a large pocket.

And her eyes dart to the duffle bag as it clatters to the ground. "Percussive selection. Great idea on refills. Could refill if we find something troublesome," she cheerfully says as she points at the wheel barrow, "Brought plenty of light, since you said these things hate it. Probably the brightest these tunnels will ever be."

Circe was probably not exaggerating. She holds up the tablet to show Kray. There is a cable attached to it leading to a box with a variety of holes on the side. "Got a card reader attached to this. Can review footage now, instead of leaving and coming back."

It made sense to her. And it was lighter than a laptop. Circe tilts her head to the side, but makes sure not to move her ribcage much, trying to look past Kray. "Uuuh, you didn't see Queenie Sonja bouncing around , did you?"

A shake of his massive shoulders results in a full on stretch as each joint cracks. "Uh. No I didn't see a bouncy monkey queen on way down down." Not sure where she was.

The moving over to the barrow of lights a headband is taken out and wound instead around his massive bicep and tighten to form more of an arm band. "Ah. Not perfect but it'll do." Things were just made to small for him most of the time.

But spring queen or no. "Uh. You want be to start shifting this? Might as well get started." Gesturing to the improvised sack of spares and barrow of equipment. "Ah. Better you keep hands free." Besides he could drop the barrow in instant to fight anything that got in his grill, but why bother when keeping a gun in Circe's hands meant less chance anything got that close.

"Disappointing," she shakes her head, "She was a good, well, not bloodhound but sniff monkey I suppose." Well, that is her suggestion for the term anyway. Maybe Sonja forgot or had other things to handle. Worst case scenario was that the Steepscrambler was playing ninja, waiting to jump out at them in surprise whilst forgetting who Circe was. If Circe had given Sonja a copy of her own bulletproof body glove, then it could be funny instead of tragic.

"So Kray? It is just the two of us? Eh," she shurgs as she muses without a hint of irony or awareness: "We can make it if we try."

It was going to check cameras whilst lighting up the night against photosensitive monsters. This should be fine, they had the equipment to keep the things away. "We can adjust shit if you want. Have tools and talent. Luke, uh, belt attach a lantern to your belt or coat."

She will help him make that happen if that is what Kray wants. All else fails, tarp into a toga style sash with the lantern tied to it.

As for shifting things around? "Oh, sure man," she waves to the barrow, "Load it up, turn on the lights, and if you feel the need to yeet it at something," she gives him a thumbs up as she checks her vest for something, "Go for it."

Big object meant big impact. As for what she was finding? Keys. The door was still locked. Circe goes over to unlock the padlocks. Then proceeds with the deadbolts. Circe Thinks for a moment and instead of just opening the door will go and grab a spotlight. And a headband, attaching it to herself as she turns it on. Then the spotlight is turned on and the Lost can surely see as if the sun was out. Circe is confident she can bring up the shoulder slung SMG quickly if need be.

"Okay, they hate light right?" She says to both herself and Kray. "Open door, bright light, Tunnel Gremlins run. Or blind a rat, whichever!" She cheerfully says to Kray.

"Let me know when you are ready," she says to Kray, spotlight trained on the door.

Narration:
The level of illumination in the tunnels is extreme with what the Lost are bringing. The Lost can even see the discolorations on base of the stone walls where rats have tried scratching at the wall.

Future perception rolls will have a bonus.

Cocking his head a little at the summer queen. "Uh. Has she ben training to find drugs at airports?" Its what the phrase puts him in mind of. As for it being a two lost job. "Ah. We'll be fine." There wasn't even a guarantee the gremlins were down there.

Taking the advise an lantern is affixed to his belt for good measure on the opposite side to the one strapped to an arm. "Uh. There we go should be all lit up." Not his usual mode of operating but if it gave the advantage then its something he has no issue with.

His improvised sack is added the barrow then grabbing the handles and taking the strain under load. "Hm. ready when you are." Clearly out gremlins in the secret basement tunnels, just another day.

Narration:
As the Lost open the door, there is a panicked squeak and skittering from the tunnels. The bright lights frightens some rats, sending them running in fear. The Lost can see them bumping into walls, night vision clearly ruined, as they continue to flee the lights. There are small discolorations on the metal plating of the door tunnel side, at rat height. Looks like they failed to claw through the door.

The Lost can proceed to the cameras, make a perception roll for the trip through the tunnels please. Due to bright lights, do it at a +2 to visible searching.

"Has she?" She responds in confusion to Kray. Sonja had done well smelling in the tunnels last time. "Eh, yeah. You are right. The lights should work," if there was any Gremlins to be chased away. The real test for her mind would be if something breached the barbed wire.

Circe nods at Kray being ready. Then opens the door as she aims the light with one hand, other gripping the gun's handle as the door swings open. Then chuckles as the rats flee from the light. That was anticlimactic. "Ha, oh ho ho ho ho! Wonder if this'll be a pattern."

"Light on, guns on," Circe takes the lead. Not because she is eager to encounter another invisible creature, but due to Kray being big. It'd be hard to shoot around him. So, Circe in the lead as she lights up the tunnels.

Re adjusting his grip on the barrow as the handles come up that much higher when he lifts them, the alternative is bending down low which he doesn't want to do. "Uh. I don't know thought you did. You called her a sniff monkey, made me think of the sniffer dogs at airports." Although it was hard to picture the newly crowned queen of spring sitting still for long enough to hold that job down.

The rats make him feel more uneasy then the confided space or the threat of the gremlins. "Bah. And if the lights don't well we know lead and steel works just fine on them." Although losing an arm or a leg would be a pain. "Ah. I'm still for pouring a whole lot of poison down into that pit." Not once had crossing it made him feel any less then uneasy. "Uh. Or petrol and a match." Both worked.

The lights do nothing to alleviate the flickers of what is and what is not that hound the ogres senses constantly but they do through everything he perceives into more light which helps in its own way.

Narration:

The rats continue to scurry away from the Lost's light. Circe is distracted by her own thoughts and notices nothing.

Kray however will notice the trails in the dust. Rats, roaches, wheel barrow, and shoe clad footprints are amongst the tracks. But not anything new since last time.

The Lost are able to proceed to the first intersection. The chain link gate is unharmed. Their procession is unhindered as they head East to the Bridge. There lies the first trap, bait, and camera combination.

The trap is hanging from the air with a sizeable rat in it, as in the size of a small dog. Quite dead and starting to go bad. The Lost can search (perception or survival) the Bridge area if they want, or retrieve the camera data.

Circe:
"Oh," she says but does not nod as Kray explains the airport thing. That made sense sure. Though, she didn't see Sonja doing the office work parts of it. Therapy animal or ~~clown~~ entertainer sure, but not office work. "Think she'd flee the bureaucracy part."

Rats, it was just rats. Pun? Maybe. Later. After they were in the clear.

"True that Kray," Circe agrees with him. "One dude took on a pack solo and died of wounds instead of ripped apart by them. We can do better." Though Circe could've just forgone armor and weapons for Phantom's Glory. It'd just make getting the video cards hard. Poison or petrol? That gives her an idea. "We got gas masks. Bleach and other cleaners can make a gas. Few gallons of each, tarp and tape off the room. It'd be full of poison!"

It was an idea. Huh, the gate was intact? No way those things got through then. The wine is safe!

Lights and guns lead the way. No trouble yet and then the first catch of the day. A really big rat.

"Huh. We caught an extra large rat," she informs Kray. Circe retrieves, activates, and puts down one of the lanterns. More light! Then she will retrieve the memory card from the camera. "I'll get this downloaded Kray. We want to watch it now now or later behind the plated door?"

It was a tactical decision. Check before going forth or rush the job and retreat to known safety first?

The ogre puts the wheelbarrow down on the Funderland side of the bridge no sense balancing the load over the short expanse while they stopped here. "Oh. Dam the rats are getting bloody huge." The thing caught in the trap looked like it didn't need to fear cats that was for sure.

Rotating his great shoulders back to work out a crick. "Ah. I don't know about that she took the director job." And that had involve at least some bureaucracy right? Although her being less attentive had been part of the argument to convince him not to fight her appointment, so there is that.

Fire, poison, gas all good options. "Uh. If we can make it and it does the job I'll pay for whatever it is we need to get them out of here." Yeah he really didn't like them. And fire meant they were half way towards a meal. Speaking of, he hefts the shovel from the wheel barrow to poke at the decaying carcass strung up in the snare. "Uh. You reckon this past the point of no return?" Yes he is contemplating eating the thing. Either way it needs to come down and the trap be rest which the Ogre will busy himself with doing.

The video feed is the main reason for being down here today. "Uh. Might as well watch it now while I'm resetting the trap." Kill a couple of birds with one stone.

Perception failure

A task that is clearly taking his attention away from his surroundings.
