Finding a good position so that they could look, Alicia used her magic to shine a light into the opening on the wall. The sight they were greeted with earned a wince, light glinting off the edges of shells in a manner that promised they were very good at cutting things. [color=aba000]"Well that's not ideal,"[/color] she muttered to herself. 

She dropped back to the ground and looked over to Alex as he asked what they had said. [color=aba000]"Some creatures have decided to make that place their nest, and they have very sharp edges,"[/color] she explained. 

Of course the group was still far from helpless  at this point, and Connie set to work trying to keep the creatures from waking up. Whether it would work was unclear, but it was probably the best option they had right now.

Thinking over it some more, Alicia came to an idea. [color=aba000]"Alright. Alex, Ronin, Miko? The three of you have Reinforcement magic, so you have the best chance of making it through in case they wake up in spite of Connie's magic. Go through the passage and see if you can find some way to let the r4est of us access the castle."[/color]
