Garion turned and looked up at Hazel.

"Are you saying that this place could change at anytime to trap us here? Garion had a thoughtful look on his face. "that could Explain how they got smith so fast a tunnel opened up beside him something grabbed him and the the tunnel closed like this one."

Johnny went over to Suzy and sat down next to her. He liked the young woman, who had impressed him in the army by standing up to those who looked down on her. They had worked together before and her medical abilities had saved his life on more than one occasion. "I'm glad you're here on this one." Johnny said. "I have a feeling that we'll need medical attention before this is over." Johnny sighed. "We have a bigger team than usual, which means more firepower. Unfortunately, we have more gear, and since not everyone on the team is familiar with recognizing traps, we'll have to go slower and we'll be pretty noticeable to whatever killed Smith. I just hope that the added guns make up for that. Either way, if there isn't a second exit, we're in deep trouble, so we need to push forward." Johnny opened a wooden box he had brought from the ship. He took out and loaded a Tommy Gun as well as checking his pistol and machete. Satisfied, Johnny leaned against the wall and took out some rations. "Judging from the dampness" Johnny commented. "There's probably come sort of underground stream nearby. If Hazel is correct about the shifting architecture, that's probably how whatever got Smith escaped so quickly. We'll have to be on guard."

I need to get some sleep, I'll post again around 7 AM Eastern to continue the story.

At the mention of the word 'eldritch', Will's ears pricked up. He looked to Hazel.

"Miss Edwards? Could I talk to you about the, uh, apparent magic? If there are such forces at work, I'd like to study them, and perhaps work out how they are generated"

Suzy was excited that Johnny had sat down next to her, she wanted to get to know him better.

"Ahem, yes, I am glad as well! We make a good team you and I, considering the fact we didn't die in the war!" she laughed, not wanting to seem eager, "Perhaps moving slowly is the key to surviving, the slower we move, the less likely we are going to be picked off one by one."

"You're probably right about what got Smith", Hazel said to Garion, "Although I'm loathe to risk my life tonight by going to check for residual warmth".

She walked back up from the guard post to the rest of the camp, careful not to touch the cavern walls. "Nice to meet you Professor Duquence", she said with a grin, " It's always rare to find a scientist who's willing to conceive of the possibility of the paranormal.".

Will shook his head and smiled "The best scientist should believe nothing, but neither should he believe anything false. I'm not for or against magic, but since it seems to have happened here, I would be a fool not to accept it as a possibility." he glanced to his notes, "Can you work any magic yourself, or sense when anther is using it?"

"Well I'm no witch if that's what you mean" Hazel replied, with a thick Germanic accent, "Although there have always been rumours about some of my female relatives. Anyone can detect the occurance of supernatural events with the right equipment and knowledge of symbology."

She pulled a sleeping mat from her bag and spread it out as something to sit on, glad of its waterproof covering. "although it doesn't take an expert to know we could be in some deep shit here".

After a few hours, when everyone had gotten a few hours of sleep, Johnny called the team together. "Alright people, have some food and get your gear together, in a little while, we're going to go deeper into the tunnel to find another exit."

Garion Stood up and stretched. "Don't worry, I will protect you." Garion said with a smile to Tad. Turning to Jonny he smiled. "So when do we head out."

As the group began packing their bags, Will asked Hazel another question "What kind of equipment do you need to detect magic? If you can name it, I've probably got it with me, or at least, something near enough to be modified"

Johnny led the group down the tunnel, gun in hand and stopped when he came to a small pool of water in the ground. "Wait here" Johnny said. "I'll check it out." Johnny cautiously approached the pool, and saw that though small, it was far deeper than it appeared. "Maybe this is the underground stream." Johnny thought. He didn't see anything though, and was just turning to give the group the all clear, when a hand shot up through the surface of the water and grabbed Johnny's ankle. "Gah!" Yelled Johnny, surprised. Johnny fired his Tommy Gun into the water, hitting what ever had grabbed him. All of a sudden, the pool disappeared, covered by the tunnel floor as if it had never been there. Before Johnny could say anything to the group. a pool opened in the tunnel behind the group, blocking the way they had came. The band of explorers stepped away from the pool as a creature erupted out of the water. It was hideous. The creature looked like a bizarre hybrid of human and fish, with green-gray scales that covered it like armor, razor sharp claws and shark's teeth. As if that was not enough, a second, then a third creature climbed out of the pool and started advancing on the group. More and more creatures leaped out of the pool, red eyes blazing, and making screeching sounds that unnerved and nauseated Johnny. "Take them down!" Johnny yelled. He fired, hitting one in the head and sending it backwards in the pool. Still more monsters kept coming though, out for blood.

No matter what mick said he knew he was terrified of this place as much as the next guy, he just didnt want everyone to think of him as the scared one of the group.

Wills hand went for his pistol, and he drew it out, loosing three bullets into the face of the first monster. It fell, and Will retreated, trying to get his camera out

Garion Acted instantly opening fire with both guns until his clips ran out and then holstered them, and drew his sword. Cutting only the ones close so not to get in the way of others.

"They don't look like anything I've ever seen!" replied Will, "Do you think they're intelligent?
