Log;

Jaime supposed he was basically leading this expedition, but it was a little awkward since he was the youngest as far as he could tell and also didn't know where they were going. The Scarab wasn't being particularly helpful, either because of the city!magic or because it was angry at him for telling it very sternly not to keep any records of their trip. He was armored up, of course, so anyone who'd only seen him as a scrawny kid might have been a little surprised, now that he was winged and blue (but still scrawny).

They were gathered at the part of the Underground where there were still some (slightly sketchy) shops and no visible monsters. "Okay, everyone. We're all here, so...let's get going. Experienced fighters to the front and back, magic users around those without major powers or combat skills, and...I guess that's it unless someone has a better strategy."

[ooc: Basically, you can post with your character for anything taking place in the Underground during the trip there. Please say whether the thread is open or not. I'll post with Jaime for a few random events, and eventually when the clock is reached. Haven't heard anything from the mods about that, so I'll probably hold off posting about that until tomorrow. Other than that this is a giant free-for-all.

ETA: Have heard from mods. The deeper underground, the more/more dangerous the monsters. They can be anything beastly, so feel free to NPC stuff. Also, there will be more difficult terrain, cave-ins, caverns, etc. At the end, they will be able to see the clock but not actually come close enough to touch it.]

A moving clock? If it was as big as he'd heard it seemed like it would be a hard thing to move. But who was he to argue when the whole damned city periodically tore itself with some new curse? Besides, the clock at Deling City had moved too. Not necessarily the same way but hey. Not really his problem, right?

"So we just wander around until we find something?"

"There are some ways that are more likely than others, I've found," he said with a bit of a smile. "Generally, down is the direction to go."

He came across a fork in their path and chose left, which was slightly steeper of the two.
