"Careful, there," Cedros warns, pointing out a fallen log as Caoimhe helps him slide over it. The verdant rainforest, though gorgeous, is bursting with thick vines, roots, brush, and trees that make every step difficult.
While the ruins that your expedition made camp in as well as other nearby sites have been devoid of any meaningful discoveries in the last weeks, Cedros has made an incredible breakthrough, but not without Naia's shared expertise. After studying lines of ancient text and patterns on the impassable door in the island's central cave, you've found that a supposed chasm nestled deep in the jungle may have the answers you need to finally get past this ancient barrier.
You spent a week to finally locate the chasm using small scouting parties. Now, the several of you have set out to find out glean whatever new clues you can from exploring its depths. You've been hiking for two days now, and the promise of being only a single night away from the chasm has helped keep morale despite the humid, bug-ridden conditions.
"Is everyone doing alright?" the wizened dwarf asks, looking back to take a headcount as you continue to push your way through the thick vegetation.
