As the ground shakes, the ceiling starts to cave in! 

If you rolled a 10 or higher, you passed. 

7 bludgeoning for Kora and Perci, as the earth starts falling on top of them. Burying them slightly, the rumbling stops for now. 

Sylrie, you notice some of the earth has fallen on top of the crystal chambers, and they seem to be intact. The ones in the far corner seem to be holding the very earth up. 

Everyone else who rolled a 15 or higher passed! Those who did not are prone, but uninjured. 

Perception checks for everyone in the hallway. 

Aria picks herself up off the floor carefully, grabbing her bow as well and letting out a breath of relief as she sees it's still intact. Sivi sloooowly sticks his head out of her bag.

Aria Perception: 7

Sivi Perception: 14

Sylrie managed to keep his composure this time, and good thing as his pride really couldn't take another hit today. "These Crystal Chambers don't seem to be getting damaged!" He said calling out to the others.

Percival pushes off the earth that managed to fall on him. "How good for the crystals."

Hearing the struggled words from Percival Sylrie looks his direction, and then see's Kora is also under earth, he moves over to help removing the rocks, dirt, boulders, off of them. "This place is coming down around us."

Kash stands up and brushes himself off with his mage hand

"Son of a..." Kora growls as she pulls herself from the rubble. "I don't know that we have time to investigate these cocoons, best we not get buried with them."

She takes a moment to catch her wind. (Second Wind: 11 hp healing)

"Let's keep going. Sylrie, lead."

Perception: 16

John attempts to lift a Cocoon over his shoulder. Yes, we should keep going. I’ll hold this- if I turn into an animal, everything I have changes as well, so of I need to I can keep this and transform. He looks up at the earthen ceiling. I don’t like this.

Sylrie nodded to Kora, she was tough, and he didn't mind taking orders from her. They needed to get out of here before these earthquakes brought the whole place down on them. But what was causing the earthquakes? 

Sylrie moved forward, continuing to keep his senses sharp and alert for any new danger.

"That's a good idea, John. How small can you transform? Can you become something that can burrow?"

As the group gets going, Kora turns to the newest member of Greywind. "Aria, if we are buried, next to John, Sivi is the most likely to get out, being small. He can carry a message, yes? The LT needs to know what we have found, if we cannot tell her. Who has parchment and pen?"

"Kash, your magic, to message someone, do you need to see them?"

"My range is limited and it doesn't work well through solid stone....but as long as I'm familiar with the recipient and they are close enough I do not need to see them."

I can almost certainly become something small that can burrow. First thing I think of on the top of my head is a Badger. John says, but then looks at Kora. But I don’t plan on abandoning anyone here. Let us proceed, for none of us are being buried tonight.

Aria nods. "I can send Sivi with a message if we get caved in as well. Between him and John, at least one should get out." She hides the chill the words give her.

Kora looks at John with a kind look, that is meant to take the sting out of her next words. "You'll follow orders, Johnothon, if that moment comes." Then she looks to Kash and Aria, "Okay, then we have several chances to get word out, if it comes to that. Whatever secret is being kept here must not remain secret. Understood, Greywind?"

She hardly waits for an answer. "Good, now fall out. Sylrie, let's go!"

Sylrie looked behind him from across the room, and whispered a silent Message to her, <<Already on the move>>

<< Good man, thanks >>

The path back does seem to have crumbled down, leaving very little to no room for escape, the main chamber you are closest too also took a large hit. You can feel the rumbling underneath your feet again, shaking softly compared to what has already befallen this area. Johnathan, you notice that the way out seems blocked, except for maybe enough room for a small animal. 

Sivi starts losing it, running up and down Aria's shoulders and arms. Squawking, which is a very new sound coming from the little flying primate. 

As the party moves to fall out, you run your hands across the earth that now blocks your path, in front of you in ruble and stones. Dirt and mud, cake the floor around the cave in. It does SEEM like the way back is blocked off. The rumbling starts to intensify but peters off again. 

Kora:

((OOG Think about what you would like to do next, you all have a pretty good game plan it sounds like? Investigate and take in your surroundings. ))

Kash wants to check out one of the open crystal things
