Not Everything's Perfect RP

[Wylder Treejumper]

Skyle shook his head, "Girls. Never have understood them, never will." He clambered up the mountain with ease, staff clenched in his mouth, to a large ledge and reached a paw over and pulled Jasmine up. Just then, he noticed a well hidden circular indent in the rock. "Hello, what's this? It's just about the size of my staff..." He put the uncarved end in, but it ran into an obstruction before it could reach the end. "Darn it, it fits perfectly, like a key... but not quite!" He exclaimed frustratedly.

[Cornflower MM]

"Maybe...." Arya said, then saw something that looked like a window, or something above Skyle's head. "Hey, Skyle, what's that above you head?" She asked.

[The Skarzs]

Vargha wrested the stake loose. With his free paw, he began to loosen the rest.

[Wylder Treejumper]

Skyle wrestled with his staff. "Hmm?" he asked, ot paying attention. Finally he flipped the staff over and reverently slid the carved end in. A sharp click echoed over the mountain. He gave the staff a half-twist, and a loud rumble came from the mountain. All of a sudden, a hole opened up beneath Skyle's footpaws and he fell...

[Cornflower MM]

"Really?!?!" Arya complained as she went over to the hole. She stopped and looked at the window-thingy. It was a window, yes, but it was covered with something.
---------------------------------------------------
Lady Bryony had covered her window with some sacking and was busy doing something when there was a rumble....And a shadow blocking the light from the sacking. She went over to her window and tore off the sack, and fiund herself face-to-face with a squirrelmaid.

[Lady Amber]

Jasmine crawled over to where Skyle had disappeared , completely confused as to what had just happened. "Skyle, are you alright? Can you hear me?"

[Wylder Treejumper]

Skyle's voice echoed up from the hole, "I'm fine. There's some sacks down here that broke my fall. I'd suggest taking the stairs..."
Sure enough, there was a set of stairs going down into the pit. Skyle had been standing on the wrong end.
Skyle looked around the room. It was filled with sacks of grain, potatoes, and other vittles. There was a door at the far side of the closet, but it was covered in cobwebs and looked as though it had not been opened in many years. He shouted up, "Come on down! I found someplace we can hide from the horde!"

[Cornflower MM]

Arya stared at the huge badger lady in front of her face. The huge badger lady stared back. Finally, Lady Bryony broke the silence. "Who are you and why are you climbing Salamandastron?" Arya only squeaked. "Oh, I'm not going to hurt you." Bryony grunted, rolling her eyes.

[Lady Amber]

Jasmine started climbing down the stairs, beckoning Arya with her paw. "Come on Arya," she called. "Skyle has found a hiding place!" She paused her descent, looking up to where Arya was." Is there anything in there?" she said, indicating the window.

[Cornflower MM]

"Yes....A very scary badger lady." Arya said.

[Lady Amber]

"A badger lady?" Jasmine said incredulously, running back up the steps. "In this mountain?"

[Cornflower MM]

"Yes, my name is Bryony. The Badger Lady of Salamandastron, whih is the mountain you happen to be climbing. Now, would you like to come and meet the hares I commandm or not? I assume that's why you are climbing." Bryony said frankly.

[Lady Amber]

Jasmine came up beside Arya, starting to explain."Hello Bryony,er,lady, I'm Jasmine, and we're not actually climbing your mountain to see you're hares. We're running away from Mintagerun, an evil fox who has captured us and made us slaves."

[Wylder Treejumper]

Skyle eased open the door. It opened into a large room, but the light from outside failed soon after the door. It was pitch black. He scrabbled for his tinderbox, and, finding it, lit a torch from a sconce on the wall. The room was illuminated. It showed a huge badger in a suit of armor, sword raised above it's head. Skyle closed his eyes, and brought his staff up to ward off the inevitable strike...
Nothing happened. It was just a suit of armor...

[Cornflower MM]

"I see. Well, have either of had a friend who's fallen down a hole in the past few minutes? Because someone activated the other exit from the place where we badgers go to do secret Badger Lord and Lady things." Bryony asked, looking gruffly at them.
