He eventually retrives one of the coal he picked up shortly ago from his guitar bag, takes aim and throws it down the chasm in an attempt to determine how deep the chasm may be and what happens when the coal hits one of the pinpricks.
(unsure whether this action needs a roll or not. But he tries to hit one of the pinpricks of pink light, so maybe it does?)

"Meep."

That's all Rolycoly has to say in response to Pyra and Kogekis' warnings, but they don't seem to be opposed to joining Team OS despite being too terrified to say much that's coherent.

Presumably, Kee takes the Adventure Badge out and uses it to send Rolycoly back to the guild (Kee actually being nice to them beforehand seems to be a huge relief), and everyone gathers back together to continue onwards.

Marcus had been watching Daxter, Pyra, and Kogeki from the sidelines, staying out of the bulk of the conversation itself but keeping an eye on it (not secretly, though).  He seems to be quietly contemplating something when everyone groups back up, and doesn't seem to be feeling particularly chatty right now.

Karen, meanwhile, had been attempting to calm Hoopa down.  The djinn went on a small rampage of sorts trying to assure itself that its powers still worked to some degree.  After a few near mishaps involving some rocks being warped and tossed around at increasingly high speeds and some comforting words, Hoopa seems to almost magically be back to its cheery self.  Karen seems to be a bit exhausted and out of breath from the ordeal, though.

----------------------------------------------

Everyone continues on through the side tunnel, away from the tracks that Carkol fled down.  The tunnel goes for some time before opening up into another chamber.  When it does, though, there's quite a sight to behold.

A large, yawning chasm is immediately in front of Team OS.  Dark as it is, small pinpricks of pink light can be seen glowing in the depths, though it's impossible to tell how far down they might be.

Across the chasm is a narrow cliff with what appears to be ruined tracks running across it, the pathway broken, winding, and leading who knows where.



*rolls*

One end of the broken pathway is visible from where the team is currently standing, and they can see that it leads into another tunnel.  Fascinating as it is, though, most of the group's attention is held by those strange pinpricks of pink light in the dark depths of the chasm.  What could those possibly be?

Marcus happens to be the one to spot something odd near the entrance/exit of the other tunnel, though, sharp eyed as he is.



"Hm?  Hang on, is...is one of those small, pink lights over on that ledge as well?"

And once he calls attention to it, everyone else sees it too.  A small pink light just inside the opening of the tunnel on the other ledge.  Except this one looks significantly closer than the ones down in the chasm's depths.

"What do you think it is?"

"Oh, I dunno.  Could be a lot of things.  But I do know that it looks like it could be valuable!~  Shame that I can't just warp over there and see what it is right now.  Can barely muster the energy to teleport a stone, apparently, let alone teleport myself by swapping locations with one of you lot...ugh...I cannot wait to get my hands on whoever sealed my powers!"



"Well, whatever it is, I don't think we're going to be able to reach it from here.  Unless anyone has some bright ideas for how we can cross this huge chasm that won't get us separated?"

"Maybe there's a way around?  That other tunnel has to lead somewhere, right?"
