Round 575

Merrin helps Varikka navigate the collapsing chamber, keeping her steady as they move through treacherous terrain. "Stay close," she murmurs, guiding them over unstable ground. The sound of rushing water grows louder, and Merrin can feel the vibrations intensifying through the stone floor. "We need to keep moving fast," she says urgently.*

Varikka nods grimly, her scarred face set in a mask of determination despite the pain shooting up her leg with every movement. "Aye," she growls. "But this whole place is coming down around our ears. And I'm not sure how much longer I can keep going on this damned foot."
