[center][color=306EFF][h1]Vola[/h1][/color][/center] [hr] [b]Current Location[/b]: North Caves [b]Current Activity[/b]: Acting as bait for Akeno [@King Cosmos], Gren [@Lucius Cypher] and Grunthor [@Kazemitsu] by exploring the caves with Lazash [@Crusader Lord] while keeping an eye out for anything useful. [hr] Vola smiled gratefully at Gren as she accepted the Spear Thrower. [color=306EFF]“Thank you, Gren, I appreciate this.”[/color] Testing the weight, Vola gave a few experimental swings to get used to the movement while listening attentively and contributing to the planning where she could. The cave was a huge unknown at this point, and she was really nervous about going in there, but once she commits to something, she follows through, so she tried to channel all of her nervous energy more productively, by practicing a little with the Spear-Thrower, as well as helping the others make preparations for the exterior where they needed it. When it was finally time for her and Lazash to enter the cave, Vola had managed to more or less get rid of the nerves and turn it into something more akin to…a grim determination? Eh. Something along those lines anyway. Entering the darkness, Vola was on high alert, scanning the surroundings closely for any signs of movement, danger or other signs of anything living here, while simultaneously keeping an eye out for anything useful like special plants, or the ore that she and Gren had originally planned to collect. Spotting some mushrooms growing by the cave entrance, Vola followed Lazash’s example and collected a few. They might end up coming in handy and even if they don’t, it’s always handy to learn more about the flora in your world. It didn’t take long before they were moving once more, heading ever deeper into the cave. The journey uninterrupted so far. Vola wasn’t sure how she felt about that. On the one hand, still being alive and uneaten by cave-critters was amazing, but on the other hand, the longer they go without encountering danger, the more that the suspense she’s currently feeling seems to grow as well. Like as if whatever’s in here will become more dangerous the longer they go with encountering it. The calm before the storm. Encountering the bug was almost a relief, for all that it almost made her gag as well. While it was much bigger than any bug ever had any right being, it didn’t seem outright hostile, so Vola didn’t make the first move either, following Lazash’s lead and holding. That doesn’t mean that she is at all relaxed. Oh no. The Spear-Thrower was loaded and ready in her hand, ready to fire the second either Lazash gives the signal or that that thing makes a move to attack them.
