[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Ventus gets down from the cage. Shiva is retrieved, still asleep. It doesn't seem like she was much of a captive, since the door was unlocked and there's a latch on the inside. But that only makes things even weirder...

Ventus examines the Shiva to make sure it's really her. She's wearing a simple chain necklace, like you could buy at any jewelry shop for cheap. It reflects the purple light strangely.

Oh yes, and you took the red thing. It comes free with no resistance. It feels strangely weightless, like pumice.

You can hear the creatures circling around the firelight, baying to each other like ghosts. You can even see their shadows - they're about half a meter in size, and that's all you can really make out.

Once you've brought the torch down here, you can see other cages on either side of this one. You also see some burnt trees, a shelf of crumbled black marble (raw from the earth), and a long spiky ridge of black earth. Well, you assume it's long - it goes well beyond your red light. Up on that ridge, you see a bigger red light than any that are down here with you.
