Do we have something that can be used as a light source? If so, use it. If not, find something that can be used.

Tristan pushes the nearest guy in.

Tristan frowns at the ladder before checking the room for anything.

Nitro has no clue if it's dead end or whatever, but decides to find a way of crossing it.

A fate can be changed, everything will change. A destiny is just a container that keeps the liquid in - in this case a person.

"Flaring guy, you can manipulate the fire in the torches. Mind moving them around a bit? Might be good to see if we're missing anything below or to the sides."

Go over what I know about the specifics of Bursting. Would it be feasible for our resident gas-creation specialist to lower us gently via a layer of pressurized air or something?

Create a vacuum in front of my hands and walk around the edge of the platform. If there's a rope or something we can't see, that might pull it up.
As above, so below.

Faressain

"No, I won't mind that as long it'll be worth it." Nitro took the torch flames as well.

Nitro: 17

Ferris can see no light sources except for the pair of torches the party holds.

Tristan walks around, examining the platform on which he stands in the dim light. He sees nothing but a small arrow scratched into the floor behind the ladder. It points out into the abyss.

Jack pauses to think. After a moment he concludes that it should indeed be possible, though not safe by any means.

Nitro plucks the flames from the torches. Even now, able to move the light as he wishes, he can see no end to the chasm, either above or below.

Iapetus does nothing.


A dull rumble shakes the room. Moments later, a cloud of rock dust falls from the unseen roof and scatters over the platform. The trembling stops quickly, replaced by a foreboding silence.

Check the surroundings of the area. Also use an ingot to create an axe.

"Huh, there's no end of this. It seems like we need to try to climb down." Nitro reports to everyone/

"Or slide down. Climbing down might take a while."

Faressain

"I'd prefer safety. What if someone falls from like 30 feet? A death?" Nitro was seen climbing down the ladder.

Ferris sees only the round stone platform on which the group stands, an arrow etched into the ground, and the vast, dark chasms on every side.

Nitro cannot find a ladder to take him downwards - the only ladder leads upwards, back in the direction from which the party came.

Examine the arrow etched onto the ground. It might mean something.

The arrow is shallowly etched into the ground near the edge and somewhat hard to see. It points off into the chasm at an angle, perhaps indicating a specific area of darkness.

"Hey, maybe we follow the arrow?" Ferris suggested to the group in a gruff manner, "It might lead us closer to whatever we are after."

"Whatever. I couldn't find a ladder which would lead down." Nitro answered.

"Maybe we rockclimb down or something. I don't suppose any of you have rope?" Tristan asks.

Wordweaver

"Hm..."

"Conjurer, flarer. You guys up for something?

Conjurer, you're basically going to have to create the a ladder for the two of you to descend on. If you ever feel like you can't maintain the amount of matter you're making, cut down on the rungs nobody is using and leave the supports in place. If even that stops working, give the signal and come back up. No point in plummeting to your doom.

Flarer, you basically climb down after him and illuminate as much of the place as you can. If you see anything, tell us and we'll complete the ladder or find some other way to get down.

If there's nothing in reach below us, we basically do the same thing on all sides by replacing 'ladders' with 'platforms.'"
As above, so below.

"Hmm, same here." Nitro decides to follow after Nuke.

Ferris: 10
Iapetus: 15
Nitro: 20

===

Ferris crafts one of her ingots into an axe. It looks sharp but not particularly sturdy.

Iapetus creates a ladder over the side of the platform. It descends downwards into the darkness, looking fairly stable.

Nitro effortlessly manipulates the flame into a hands-free torch. He and Iapetus descend.

The ladder stops perhaps thirty feet down. The unnatural darkness fades slightly at this depth, revealing that Iapetus and Nitro are perhaps halfway to the ground below.

Iapetus feels strained with the effort of holding so many rungs.

Jack speaks to Iapetus and Nitro from above.

"All right, guys. Flarer, you get back up here. We know where the bottom is now, and keeping too many people on the ladder is probably dangerous.

Conjurer, I can see you're pushing yourself too far here. You don't actually need all the rungs, just the two sides for support. Wait for your friend to get back up here, then stop maintaining any rungs you aren't using. Create new ones as you descend, and get rid of the old ones. Hopefully, that gets you all the way to the bottom and we can start using you to run everyone else down."

"Shaper! Be ready, because the conjurer may not be able to sustain as much ladder as he needs to. If that proves to be the case, I'm thinking you run upstairs, fetch some rock or something, and we gradually begin to replace the created matter with that to lighten his load."


"That sound good to everyone?"
As above, so below.

"I suppose, let's just get everyone down quickly, I'm kinda struggling."

"Well, kinda agreed, but who will enlighten the way? Wait, nevermind." Nitro goes upwards.
