The end of an Adventure

Well Raul is certainly in a pickle, in his attempt to find materials in the cave he went down the wrong path and nearly broke something when he fell down a hole, ouch! He had scrapes and a forming bruise on one of his limbs, he isn't sure which one as they were all thrumming with pain, thrumming? it's a real word trust me. Anyway Raul stared up at the hole he fell through and saw his magic filled lamp hanging on a tiny rocky corner that it got caught in. He let out a sigh and looked around a bit trying to figure out what he should do, he checked his pack and dug through it for the emergency lamp in case he lost the first one.

He filled it with a bit of magic just to look around the area and saw that it was just a hole with nothing interest- no wait! what's that! he saw something shining in the small bits of light that shined on the wall of the hole, he got a closer look with his lamp and saw a rather strange looking rock, it was dull and ugly on the outside but the small bit of chipped away inside he saw was this really lovely green rock. "Oooh boy this looks like it'll be fun" his tail was wagging unaware of it doing so at the prospect of the new rock he found "Wait i think i have some tools to get it out" they searched through the bag again trying to find his rock carving tools.

This will do as he got a small hammer and chisel out as he started to work on it, it took a bit of time to get it out but once he had the palm sized rock in his hand he looked it over "I think i have a few guys who will like to help me study this" fellow artisans as they'll figure out what to name it later but right now he had to get out and get back to camp to "hmm...oh!" there were some remnants of ropes along the hole he didn't notice since he used weak lighting to look around to conserve on magic.

He stared at the rope for a bit trying to think but he heard something curious, real curious, it sounded like footsteps. Wait. Is that someone also exploring? "Hey!! down here!! careful there's a hole!" he warned the other that was approaching, there was a pause before it continued forward as Raul hoped it was someone friendly when he saw the shadow appear before him and then "baaa" is that a killy? shoot he thought it was a person as they waved up at them, wait! killy's don't go out on their own this far out so somebody should be nearby "hey buddy! can you bring your owner or friend here?? i need help!"

They gave a little bleat and kind of tilted their head at him, ok maybe smaller words "can you bring help?" he tried that instead hoping they understood so they retreated for a moment making him sigh out, good they're going to- WHAT IN THE WATCHER. Raul quickly dove and grabbed the killy in his arms as it had jumped into the hole instead "wha?? what the heck???" he held the other in confusion as the little cossprout looked so proud to have made it. This isn't exactly what he wanted but maybe someone will come looking for them so they'll show up? hopefully? Gosh this is a bit of a pinch as he sat down and pet the killy softly.

They took out some veggie sticks he had packed and kept fresh with some minor magic as they offered one to the killy and both sat there eating them in silence, the killy seemed to really want more but raul kept them out of arms reach "hey no!" they shared a few soft moments before staring at the rope ladder above them if only he could do something about it, even if he managed to grab it the rope might tear away and he'd just fall back down, he sighed out before squinting at it some more, what was that tickling the ladder? he didn't notice it outside the hanging lamps light "is that...some grass?" huh so even grass grew in caves huh.

He didn't think there was any plant life here but seeing it now, wait this- ah crude! the killy got hold of his veggie sticks and now they're looking so proud of haven got them making him let out a snort of laughter "ok ok have them but don't go looking through the bag at least" his train of thought interrupted so he didn't think on the plant "hey don't put that in your mouth" he said taking something out of their mouth "is this rope?" oh guess this is where the other half went "listen just cause ropes are made of fibers....Oh!!" they looked up to the grass spot "Fibers! I can make what plant growth we have and!!" killy you beautiful dummy!

Raul went over to the grass and puts his hands to the rocky wall, they start focusing their magic on a spell to make plants grow but he had to focus on the shape of the plant they wanted it to take, he was going to make the grass grow into a braided rope that connects to the one that's hanging over him, it was taking a lot of effort but the killy by him started bumping it's head into their legs making him lose focus and there wasn't much grass grown as they collapsed onto the ground "oh man i can't think with you bucking around like that" they said as the killy curled up on his lap.

They could at least save the killy by throwing them out the hole when he recovers his energy he spent trying to make the ropes connect "Ach where did ye go ye wee lil beastie?" that voice! he knew that gruff voice! "Down here!! watch out for the hole!" shortly after saying that there was a shadowy figure looking down from the top "Of-" killy bleat "course ye would be down in a hole ye silly lil thing!" Lennox was here! he was out here trying to find that specific cossprout. They told him to wait as he lowered his sheperds staff down the hole for them to grab, Raul grabbed his bag and the killy before taking hold of the staff, with great effort both were lifted out.

Both sat there by the hole and the killy with the mischievous grin and look, innocently looked up at lennox with a happy tail wag "Oh no, ye goin' te be grounded like te rest of te cossprouts that escaped" Raul laughed at that. Guess Lennox was also part of a grand adventure as he thanked him for the help "I thought i was going to be down there forever" they got up and started walking towards his camp to have a bit of a proper lunch with a fire. "Oh so have you ever seen anything like this?" he showed him the green rock "don' think aye have but its right lovely" he admitted, the two started frying up some vegan sausage.

"Can't wait to go back home and get started on this, it was worth camping out here" Lennox can't say much on that cause he would rather spend time with the animals but to each their own as they spend a good moment just relaxing properly with food in their hands and one possibly chaotic evil killy, what a heck of a camping event for old Raul as they will eventually start packing up and heading home to show all the artisans the beautiful green gem.
