"Oh, hm, that's unfortunate. Well, then we should probably leave." Quest nodded. He turned towards a direction in the road - with seemingly no thought to destination - and began ambling off distractedly.

He muttered softly to himself: "how would something so small cause a hole like that? Had the bulk of the mass burned away, leaving only the ingot?

"Could It be moving very fast!??"

"Could It be moving very fast!??" 

Quest turned, and a blinked for a second before registering the question. "I, hmm, possibly. I mean, probably, right? The object would have to be moving very fast to dig so far. And falling would probably get it that speed." Quest mulled over it for a second. "Hey, um, shadow man, did you notice any sort of strange heat down in the hole?"

The room was filled with soldiers, both in armor and out. Some seemed to be training, while others stood guard.

The walls were covered in weapons- mostly spears, though there were a few devices that appeared to be fancy crossbows. The primary focus of the room, however, was the armor.

Two main kinds were represented- the golden kind that could change its shape, and the reddish metal that some of the soldiers had used to pull off remarkable displays of power.

Yerik's eyes lit up as he scanned the room.

Miyako grinned widely as she looked around the room. She longed to pull out a sword and test steel with some of the soldiers in the room, but knew that she was already exhausted from the princess's training and the hangover of her shadow. Miyako sighed internally. It would not be wise to further tire herself, no matter how fun all the toys looked.

Miyako caught Yerik's expression. "Eh, Acolyte. You're at home a forge right? Do you know anything special 'bout all the weapons here, especially with coming from here and all?"

"The metal was glowing red initially."

"Yes," replied Yerik. "Do you remember when I told you about special metals that I could use to make magical weapons?" He gestured. "Well... here they are! I suppose you've seen the soldiers use them, so you know a little bit about how they work."

Also, in the other storyline- did a meteor just crash into the planet?

"Hmm. It might not have been magic,  just heat." Quest added. "I mean, I think that's how meteors work?" 

Quest glanced around. "Should we, um, maybe be having this conversation somewhere else? If there's nothing else in the hole, we should probably leave."

"Nah. Don't remember at all. But I'm paying attention now." Miyako edged over to one of the racks and furtively picked up a red swords. She began checking its balance, cradling it gently.

"Run it by me again. The red one's come with some extra punch and the gold ones can bend shapes, right? How does that work, in action? How do you command it? I've seen a lot of magic swords and they all cut different."

Yes that did indeed happen.

"Ok. Do you guys want to try to follow the road in either direction, or, um, hide in the woods somewhere, or, ah..." Quest trailed off shrugging nervously. "Where were you guys going anyway?

"Yes. I just can't make them in shadowy areas, or when the sun is set."

 "Could you make one of other people who might catch the pink lady's attention? Like we did? Distract her? And Muriel?"

"Oh that's a good idea! Problem is, she'll probably go up to talk to them and I can't make the illusion speak."

Meanwhile the caravan was packing up and getting ready to start moving again.

"Have them be like deaf or something. It'll frustrate her more and maybe give us more time"

"Good thinking." Whist glanced around, and then settled behind a bush where no one would see her concentrating. A moment later, a single figure, realistic enough looking, began traveling down the road in the companies direction. 

Muriel spotted it within minutes, and road away to confront 'them.'

"Okay y'all. Let's go."

Grace followed after Muriel within a few minutes, probably annoyed at the hold up. 

You hear her distantly exclaim, "What is it this time?"

Whist stayed behind the bush to concentrate. Herman waves for Fiadh to follow him as he and Jert start to sneak towards some nearby trees. A few of the other soldiers follow, trickling by one at a time.

Fiadh follows Herman being as quiet as possible. Which considering the way she lived in the past was pretty quiet. It had taken her a lot of work to develop her silence to something she could turn on in a moments notice. She was very proud of it.

They make it to the thicket and are easily able to take cover there. Half of the soldiers hid with them. 

"The rest of the boys will pretend to come looking for us, and then we'll all escape together!" Jert explained. 

"We'll make our way to the city using a round-about way to avoid running into them again," Herman added.

You can't hear her, but Grace is clearly frustrated with Whist's figure.
