> When you enter the cavern, you realize how little you can see. The light from the moon obscures itself as you make your steps forward. One of your companions takes out a lantern. It's a good thing you're a bit prepared.
Time passes, the Cavern inclines upwards.
> Steep and taxing. The walls of the cavern are not very inviting. They serve a hollowness found in most dusky places. Not unexpected, but still all the same. There is a dripping from it's ceiling as well as you pass sometimes, a source of water maybe? You ponder the thought only briefly. You decide to take intermittent breaks and put people on watch patrol as the others rest.
>
Save the Dragons
and
Toogeloo
go first. You drift into sleep...
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!
> You are awoken by a scream. Worse, the scent of blood...
You see Save the Dragons mangled corpse on the ground, lying there with a weapon piercing right through his chest. His eyes are still open, yet his body has lost all sense of warmth. His facial expression is mortifying, as his mouth hangs wide as well.
Spoiler: Save the Dragons was...
> You all are jolted by this. Where is
Toogeloo
? You see them sleeping.
Without second thought, you attempt to shake them.
No response.
You try again, this more forcefully and passionately. Wake up Toogeloo! Wake up!
Nothing happens.
Spoiler: Toogeloo was..
> The sudden realization hits you, Toogeloo too has passed. The loss of comrades tightens your chest. You feel a burning sensation in your body. Your fingers clench and form a fist. You rue what has happened here. You regret that you couldn't save them. Who did this? Was it one of your own? Someone else?

> The continued walk through the cavern is somber. Expressionless. Everyone hangs their head low and trudges forward despite everything. The jovial feelings you had of adventure are almost completely gone.
Time continues to pass, you walk and walk. The cavern takes ahold of you. The walls become oppressive. The physical pain you felt is no longer present, rather you are accompanied by a numbness. You feel your vision blur as your mind dulls. You just want to forget what happened.
> Suddenly, you feel a breeze, and a faint light. You and your companions all rush towards it. Desperate and clinging. You all step forward into the light.
You see it. The sun greets you once again.
> You find yourself standing on sand. A beach? Here? The sight of blue as seagulls surround you. The smell of blood is replaced with the smell of sea salt. How could something like this exist inside of Yggdrasil? The calming water seems good enough to drink from. It would almost be tranquil had it not come after tragedy. Still, you let yourself soak your surroundings in. The gentle breeze feels good on your skin. You and your companions all take a deep sigh of relief.
We must continue to climb the tree. Not just for our sake, but for those we have lost.

I used a negative utility ability on someone. I won't say more than this since it cannot generate a guilty.

If that was a vig shot onto STD, you had better have a GOOD GODDAMN reason, we got his wraith-fruit last night and the last 48 hours of day one he was BLEEDING town.

I get the feeling either a) the vig is agency captured or b) the scum piled their innate shots onto the same targets.
