Into the Depths: Investigating the Shimmering Shore Tunnels (Group 1)

As Úlfr headed toward the older woman and winged man others had gathered. Before any plans could be decided the earth suddenly shook violently. Úlfr leapt to the side as rocks and earth cascaded down. One of them grazing his shoulder and kicking up a cloud of dirt and dust as the world around began to settle once more. Úlfr coughed sharply, lowering his head as he hacked from the dust that had suddenly swarmed his lungs when he'd taken his most recent breath.

Peering about in the dark tunnel he could see a few strands of light filtering down from holes in the earth above. He could see a few other forms in the darkness and quickly made his way over to them. The older woman was there as well as another pair. He did not recognize any of them but he heard the older woman call herself Isa. "Well… that was certainly something. Name is Úlfr, please let me know if I can be of assistance." He noted the rapid breathing of the young lady, noting she seemed near panicked but he was not the most comforting of sorts and he knew it.

His eyes flicked to the walls, noting the furrows along the walls of the tunnel. One of his ears flicked back and he glanced to the older woman once more. "Are there… any large tunneling beasts in the lands of Auster? It seems like something massive made these tunnels by moving through the earth. Perhaps its digging is also the source of tremors and destabilization of the ground?"
