Travel to the quest.

On the bright side, there are six of us here for this one. Maybe it won't be so bad.

Your party walks the bustling streets of the big city for awhile before finally nearing the location mapped out on the scroll. The area around you is rather overwhelming. You feel like you could spend weeks trying to see everything the city has to offer, and you start to miss your cozy manor back home. Though, it isn't the time to think about that. The house in question is up ahead, and is seems so strangely ordinary. It's unnerving that such a mage could live right next to everybody in a calm, comfy neighbourhood.

Two guards stand outside the door, likely making sure no thief ends up finding his way inside.

"We were sent by the queen," you say as you hold out the scroll.

One of the guards takes it and looks it over. "So you were. Be careful down there, eh? There's a secret door open in the basement. Can't miss it. But we haven't even scouted farther than the staircase under orders of Her Majesty."

The other unlocks and opens the door. "Basically if you die, it's on you."

"Thanks." You retrieve the scroll and head inside along with the others.

With Rabbit's Foot and Niki in front, you make your way through the otherwise normal home and down into the basement where you spot a passage leading straight through the stone wall and downwards. It's an eerie sight. Somehow, it's even more unsettling that a light flickers from within instead of it being a pitch black cave.

"All right. No torches needed," Niki says and immediately begins down the flight of stairs. "C'mon, RF. Let's clear a path. This'll be easy."

"Be careful. We don't know what--" you try to say.

Niki hurries on ahead and the rest of you follow.

"Seriously, Niki. You need to stop running straight into danger!"

"Calm down, Kyle. When has it ever gone wrong?"

"Every time!"

The stairs turn and lead into a tunnel of stone bricks, illuminated by pale blue lights along the ceiling. Though it's only about ten feet wide, the hall is quite high. You'd have to stand on someone's shoulders just to bare reach the top.

Niki suddenly gasps as rope binds her legs, and yanks her up into the air. She hangs from the ceiling by her ankles and struggles to escape.

While she bends up to yank on the ropes, you let out a sigh. "I told you. This place might be covered in traps."

She takes the rope in two hands with all of her strength and tears it apart, causing her to fall with a thud onto the harsh ground. "Damn it... Ow."

Rabbit's Foot extends her staff and taps it against the stone. "Allow me to take lead. I'll make sure to warn us of anymore obstacles. Just be careful and walk behind me. I have to say, my reflexes are quite good, you know!"
