Without much time to question what Layton had uncovered, Tenna was quick to get back on his feet, quickly hustling to summon his Shadow Guys by his side to escort him, and Traffy the Traffikrab, throughout the dungeon they found themselves in. At a moments glance- the room looked like a casual observatory- but the presence of the blue text alarmed Tenna, and urged him and his crew to move on immediately. Perhaps one of his allies could help him uncover the threat lurking in the room at a later time.

As Tenna and his Shadowy Henchmen pushed past the heavy set of double doors, he emerged into a creepy ruin occupied by cavely creatures alive and dead- and possibly threats further in. Traffy was as weary as the CRT, entering the room only after he took the first step, the weight of the door urging the others to follow closely behind as they navigated the next room. As the door closed behind them, the crew looked like they were about to regroup with Edward for a moment, just as he was scooped away by flying beasts after sounding a bell. Traffy looked up at Tenna, as if to ask [i]What now?[/i] in its own way.


“Don’t you worry, little guy! We’ll figure out where everyone else is- if Edward is still here, then everyone should be A-Ok!” Tenna was sure the Dreadnought could handle himself even without the Stagecoach, but the quicker they made their way out of… wherever they were, the better. “Just look around for anything valuable. I’m sure there’s something worth checking out here if they wanna rip our friend out of it.”

Tenna quickly sent his crew to work, asking that the Shadowy henchman make use of their leftover mining gear from the frozen mineshafts to collect some of the coal and lapis. Meanwhile, he and Traffy opted to investigate the leftmost room, the Gargoyles scooped Edward out of. Could they take Tenna and his crew to where they kidnapped Edward?

Once the veins of ore had been picked clean in the cave, the TV Host regrouped his allies to do a surface sweep of the water- searching for any dangers or clues below. Something was causing these bats to stick around.

The four travelers met in the leftmost room, where Tenna bravely reached upward to chime the bell, bracing for impact…

Once again the clamor of the bell heralded the arrival of gargoyles. They did not come to convey Tenna and his companions elsewhere, though. Instead they came shrieking with stone swords and crossbow in hand, red eyes blazing from their ghastly, snarling, frozen faces. They spread out to surround the Seeker and his attendees, attacking in a pincer maneuver punctuated by the crossbow bolts of the third gargoyle from the top of the winding staircase…
