Event: Passage in the Abyss

[letsplayamod]

[Well, even down in this squalid prison, you have gained some amount of levity. Just a day prior, an impromptu attempt to channel one of you to the land of the living put you into contact with not only the rest of your friends, but Athena herself.

That all comes to a sudden halt, but you're free to continue with perhaps a renewed strength. For once in a long while, it seems like things are getting interesting.

A day later, that's when the rumbling comes.]

That is it! I cannot wait a moment longer... My strength must return, and so my hunger must be sated.

[It's Typhon, he sounds mad.]

A mess of mortals, trapped in my personal cage. Perfect for feeding on!

[He sounds like he's on his way.]

[Down the path Sayo started they continue on.

Unfortunately, anyone is bound to hit the dreaded loop de loop that brings them to where Aglaea's threads first led them.

Maybe 2-B will hold better luck? At least this path gave them some very useful beverages and a helmet.]

[Well, something's better than nothing at least! Backtrack they indeed do, and when they reach the initial path split Aglaea will again reach out with her threads as they move forward. Enemies, hidden rooms, traps... she'll be searching for them all.]

[letsplayamod]

[The threads do their job well, revealing no traps awaiting them in the immediate. They weave around the corner and pause at three-way stop. Options 1-C, 1-D and 1-E await them...

And the ground beneath their feet trembles from an epicenter very close by.]

[tailoredfate]

[Hm... can she tell the general direction relative to the routes in front of them?]

[letsplayamod]

[Based on how close she and Sayo are? To the right and north.]

[tailoredfate]

[... Hm. Figures. The one straight ahead looks like it might intersect with where they came, so they might not have any choice but to go towards the rumbling.

She turns to Sayo.]

Which would you pick?

[letsplayamod]

[Overhead an unfortunately familiar voice bellows.

Threads, don't fail them now.]

[ after a moment's thought, worrying at her lip she indicates 1-E. if she's picking on more than a whim or a gamble, she isn't letting on. ]

We have to hurry...!

[letsplayamod]

[If it is a gamble, it certainly pays off. 1-E carries them around a corner, forward over the shattered wall and to a reunion.]
