FINAL INVESTIGATION

[It is time.

The chill which had come from the now-open, unnumbered room has now begun to seep into the rest of the Depths. It seems to call to the Titled, beckoning them to come forward and to face whatever is now beyond that door.

Fie and Rubedo were right - that room was, indeed, the exit to the Depths. And at the end of the staircase is a door, which the Skeleton Key can very easily open. A few seconds later, the door at the top of the stairs opens.

And the city within the cave below is revealed to them, as they stand on a platform high above the ground.



The ruin still looks as new as it did the day it was built. The air here is cold mountain air, though the only light seems to come from one massive building carved into the very rock of the cave. There is nothing coming from the mouth of the cave save for snow.

On the door they just came through is a single parchment of paper which reads "LEINALZIND OUTER DISTRICT." Each building, they will find, is labelled similarly. Which means there is only one conclusion.

Welcome to the city of Leinalzind, Titled. And good luck, teams.

You will need it.]

[Fresh fruits and some salted - but still fresh - meat. Jerky, too. It's all in barrels and delicious.]

[poorlovefool]

Finally!

[Then Eric is taking a snack break. Others may feel free to join him.]

[carries_war]

[Bork bork! Grrrr. Have a doge running up and acting like it's your fault the food he smells isn't already in his mouth. The person on the other end of the leash, at least, is more reasonable?]

Woah, is that what it smells like?

[poorlovefool]

Mmhmm! [The best he can answer right now between shut lips - it's not in Sisi's mouth because it's in Eric's mouth. It's been a week since he's had meat so the taste has left him without a care in the world for this brief moment. He swallows, surrounded by sparkles.]

It's good... Who's a good boy? [Sisi is, so he'll take something out of the barrel for him, yay]

[carries_war]

[Bork bork! Sisi grabs the offered food and runs off to eat as Jr. walks up and looks into the barrel, before reaching in and grabbing something. Don't mind him talking with his mouth full, food that isn't people!]

Damn, forget what I found, this is the most important discovery here!

[poorlovefool]

[He does not mind, honestly, he would've done the same thing if he had had to answer a question any more complicated than yes or no. So he'll stuff another piece of jerky in his mouth and talk around it.]

Right? Finally having some real food, that's better than any stupid old pamphlet.

[carries_war]

Or design notes in a language I can't even read.

[Yeah, he's...he's stuffing about as much food as will fit into his mouth. How is he even talking around that at all?]

Fould pro'y dake a 'ook a' i' 'ader, fough.
