[IC] Temple of Dorgan

Sophie joins Jorn and kin beside the door, doing her best to look around the two and into the room. She too felt the intense heat, and began to fan herself with her hands. "Well you know, before hopping over into the unknown, I think Mimic could check and see what's over there. Maybe he could let us know if there's a worm hiding out." She suggested. Mimic ruffled his feathers, obviously not enthused with the idea of flying over magma himself. However, he'd do just about anything if it would help Sophie. "Will you check for us Mimic?" Sophie prodded. With that, the bird hopped from her shoulders and cautiously flew forward. He searched the area, also listening for anything that could pose a potential threat.

Mimic had disappeared through the door, but not too long after the raven was back.

Mimic took his usual spot on Sophie's shoulder once he returned. "There is a door on the other side. I saw nothing else." He said to Sophie. "Thanks boy." She praised him. She let the others know what the raven had said, and was relieved to know he hadn't spotted any worms.

Gathering his courage, Kin steps into the room, examining the gap as best he could, hoping to figure out a way across it. He knew that jumping and distances were one thing his body couldn't overcome easily, even if his confidence could. But there was no way he was turning around now, there was more fighting and treasure to be had past the gap.

"I'm afraid to try rope, in case the heat from the magma burns it. Can anyone else think of a way to make this gap easier to cross?" It may be easy for YOU guys to jump 10 feet, but that's bordering on my limit for distance, jumping safely.

"We have an abundance of worm and dwarf corpses in the various halls." Branwen spoke lightly of them, almost as though she were giving directions to a store. The fact that those corpses had once been living things meant nothing to her. "If we gathered them into a pile, they would likely last long enough in the magma to serve as a ford, assuming we crossed quickly. It does not appear to be extraordinarily deep." The dwarves would have to do without an honorable burial, but that really wasn't her problem. She avoided actually moving into the hallway for the moment, merely to stay away from the extreme heat it gave out. Not that the room she was currently in was all that much more comfortable, temperature-wise.

[Manzokushi]

Branwen had beat him to the punch. It was obvious this one was crafty. Which would prove to be a useful talent amongst guilders. Jorn spoke with a nod towards Branwen, "I agree that the use of the corpses would be the best choice, given heat flares and the burning point of rope. The worms should do nicely and hold up well under the heat. Based on the appearance of their anatomy, they are designed to live in this type of environment. The two we killed should prove to be more than enough structure for our crossing."

He left the room and proceed back down the hallway to retrieve the farthest worm corpse first. "Kin, if you would be a good lad and help me drag this blasted worm back into the room."

[Linwelin]

"'Lad'? That's not a word I would use if you want my help!" Kin said obstinately. Then he sighed, "You're lucky I'm against jumping enough to want this new plan to work. Fine, fine, I'm right behind you." As he followed Jorn to pick up the corpses, he turned quickly, looking pointedly at Branwen, "Try not to miss me too badly." He then exited the door chuckling.

[Eireleen]

"I will do my best." The girl replied with an annoyed frown, wiping her forehead. She wanted to lean back against a wall at least, but doing so would likely burn her back. At first, she resigned to simply stand there as they gathered the corpses. But after a few minutes, out of nothing more than boredom and a desire to get out of this blasted furnace as quickly as possible, she began helping to drag some of the smaller dwarf corpses as well. The sooner this got done, the better.



A few minutes later...

All in all, there were two worm corpses and seven dwarf corpses. A considerable mass, and hopefully, enough to plug a ten-by-five feet gap. They had them all stacked before the magma flow, blocking the hallway. "Kin, Jornathel, and I shall push them over in tandem. They will not last long. Everyone must be ready to run across immediately." She states, turning to the pile. She takes a moment to refresh her protective ward before placing her hands on it. "When you are ready, take position."

The work moving the corpses of the dwarves and worms that they had come across was hard work. For being short and stocky, the heavily armored dwarves were quite heavy. They had to worry about touching the hot armor, as well as keep on the lookout for any other creatures that they might come across. The labor was exhausting and the heat didn't do much to help. Eventually however, they managed to pile the bodies in one place.

Kin gets into a sprinting position, ready to dart across the bodies as soon as possible. Then, a question pops into his head. "So...how are we going to get back?" He looks around, genuinely curious to see if anyone has thought of this.

[Eireleen]

"The locked doors from before can likely be opened from the other side." Branwen said, pointing through the wall to the previous room. "If not, it is safe to assume that fate will continue to spit upon us in the form of more worms." When life gives you lemons, crush the life out of them and use their wrinkled, lemon-flavored corpses to bridge a gap of boiling hot magma. "The armor of the dwarves may be worth something, but I would not think it feasible to carry them in this heat. If there are no objections, we may merely toss them in with the rest of it."

[Manzokushi]

The labor was tiring and Jorn was not happy with doing this sort of labor. But he loathed the idea of bathing in magma, the whole idea just seemed absurd. So with a hard grunt and an air off annoyance at the whole situation he got to work. "Oh, I do apologize Kin, perhaps outside of this insane heat, I shall work to construct a more suitable calling for you." He gave a mirthful chuckle amused at the humor of the situation even though the heat was quite unbearable.

Once the pile was in place, Jorn nodded in agreement to Branwen. "The worms should go first, they will last longer in the heat than the bodies."

With that Jorn joined the others ready to sprint across the expanse.
