@silvcrlining, @dcwdrops // As much as Anya prided herself on her knowledge of all the valley’s ins and outs, the mines were not her forte. The dark, cramped, and monster-infested caves never piqued her interest like the forest’s hidden, grass, and sunlit pockets. However, wherever someone needed help, Anya always nosed her way in. So she found herself in the mines, strapped with a borrowed sword, pickaxe, a pack full of snacks, and of course two more to her search party. The town had made “quick” work clearing the avalanche over a couple days, but nobody knew where the slime hunters were now. Each crunchy step echoed under their feet, and Anya’s eyes darted continuously in every direction.
“I don’t see any ladders. I think we need to dig around for one,” she said to the others, acting an expert despite her novice experience.
