Halloween round 2 (maybe with less snakes this time, maybe)

Ow. Gloom rubbed gingerly at her brow, paw coming away wet with blood but as she continued to daub at it she could tell it wasn't a big scratch just painful... Probably just nasty enough to leave a mark... How would she explain this one to Audra? The path ahead of her didn't do much to help set her at ease and Gloom glanced back over her shoulder but honestly she didn't want to go back the way she'd come either so only place to go was... Forward. Swallowing the lump forming in her throat Gloom forced herself to focus on her breathing. With her nerves calmed somewhat she told herself she had time, she could use it. Gloom focused on the space around her, looking for structural issues. Cracks, puddles of water that implied the ice was melting. Anything to help her discern where she might be able to safely put her paws.

(Gloom is choosing Wisdom: Study the cave and find the safest path.)
