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

Noor startled as a paw reached out for one of her own, wide eyes swinging towards the older blue woman. It took a moment for her words to actually process but as they did Noor tried her best to follow along, to try and get her breathing back under control.

It almost happened faster than Noor could understand, one moment the dark tunnel, the next debris and dust and something large and moving. Noor hadn't really put much stock into the worm idea, that would be ridiculous... Right? Now as it spun an eye towards them Noor felt the panic starting to rise again. She froze for a second, then instinct took over and a growl ripped through her throat, fangs bared and body settling into something that spoke of violence in turn. Though she darted her gaze around, knowing she wasn't really a fighter and waiting for a signal, a sign, something.
