Follow the away team: Fuu, Becky, Robin, and Kiera

The four women made their way into the dungeon, gradually pressing forward. The glowing blades of Fuu's naginata, and Robin's rapier made for a ready source of light, but something about the dungeon seemed to muffle it, swallow and consume it as the blackness tried to press its way in around them. Kiera's torch didn't do much more to keep it at bay.

Energy seemed to thrum through the very walls, seeping and racing somewhere beyond their immediate perception, as though the entire dungeon was alive. The three pressed onward nonetheless, standing at the ready for the arrival of whatever unknown threat they would happen across first.

Elsewhere in the shadows, creatures began to make note of there presence, some began to stalk the group, sliding through the darkness through means that may not have seemed possible, burrowing through the stone, or through **** of uncanny will causing the tunnels themselves to reshape into their hunter's path. Nearby, a monstrous abomination that was moreso an amalgam of writhing tentacles used it's stalk-like appendage to weave through the shadows, it's attention closely fixated on the three women.

It wasn't long before the group arrived at a four way split, with three branches shooting off into different directions of the dark. Fuu looked to Kiera for direction. The gruff woman simply declared "Forward" before following her own command. The other three filed in behind her as she lead them down the center path, with Fuu and Becky fully on edge.

Fuu could feel the walls shifting around her, shaping and reshaping even the paths they had just come from. It felt like it was trying to make her sick, and it took some focus to keep herself steady.

The four pressed forward, and it wasn't long before the path looked like it would open up into a room once more.
