[Event] Temba's Peak... And It's Depths

[trpmods]

0 Hours And 0 Minutes Until The Eruption
It’s hard to imagine how things will play out from here. Behind you, down a dimly lit corridor and up vine covered steps is a door that will not open until it is safe once more. Past that the city that has been the home and base of operations of He Rows for years may no longer stand. Before you the same dimly lit corridor, the metal grating of the walkway, the close metal walls. Scattered near the edges of the corridor streams of Funfronds in all shapes and sizes run, some hauling the young and elderly along, none carrying anything but themselves. These little ones also seek the shelter of the depths, though at least they had known of the potential.

All around the walls seem to shake, or is that maybe the planet itself. Hard to tell. You don’t have enough information yet. But with the noises echoing down from above and the swelling of heat it’s probably better to throw caution to the wind and keep moving. Who knows what the depths most had not even begun to suspect will offer you, but it’s better than what was going on outside, that much is certain. Better to face the unknown mechanical darkness below than to brave the looming disaster above.

How did it all come to this? What have you all done to be punished like this? For surely the metallic catacombs you’re being led through now indicate that the last few days aren’t a matter of pure chance. No, there are forces at work here, secrets to be uncovered, and for once, you might actually be able to figure them out.

Or maybe, He Rows, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Maybe we should go back to the start.
