h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*lands near a pile of rocks*

Do you think we are in the right place?

There certainly appear to be caves and there is a ladder leading down into that one.

*pointing at a ladder protruding from what looks like an underground cavern or passage*

Judging by the footprints, there seems to have been some activity here recently.

*wanders around looking at the footprints and the hole*

The ground has collapsed quite recently. Munchkin's footprints are clear: they're on top of the dust layer. He went down the hole using the ladder. There are several other prints. These *points* could be Lil's but they're hard to see because they're below the dust layer so, if she was here at all, it was before the landslide.

Let's look around a bit more. There are a lot of celery tracks .

*Finally catches up to Amy and Caer.*

Did you find anything significant?

There's a ladder going down in to caves and Amy has found celery prints.

An awful lot of celery prints. The Celery must be fitter than we think.

Lets see what's down the ladder.

*climbs down the ladder and ferkles for a maglite*

*calls up the ladder*

It is some kind of tunnel and there are footprints heading in one direction.


*calls down the tunnel*

CoooooooooeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE

I don't like the look of that hole... and Munchers is already down there. *looks up* I'm going to look up there on the top terrace.

*flies up to the top terrace*

Then I'll stay here until the others catch up.

*finds herself in front of a magnificent edifice with pillars shaped like celery* the doors are open* Amy quickly puts the DFB into its goo leather carrying case and slings it over her shoulder before slipping quietly inside the church*

*Scans the area, keeping a lookout for trouble.*

*Rides up to where Witty is standing and dismounts.*

What's happening?

*Notices the hole and footprints.*

Everyone down there?

*Approaches the village and sees a couple of posse members off to one side. Rides around to the other side and makes his way up to the church.*

Hi, Garius.

Caerwynn went down into the cave system trying to find Muchkin. Amy flew up there *points* to scout around.

I agreed to wait here until the rest of the posse caught up. I haven't heard from either one of them. I hope they are ok.

*Peers down into the hole*

Ooooooo! Caves!

*Turns back to Witty, eyes aglow.*

Uh, I think I might just mosey down into those caves, there.

*sighes*

Ok. I'll wait for the rest here.

*Sits down and gets a nutri-grain bar out of her tote bag.*

*Witty notices a clump of salonistas milling about in the distance near the ranch house. Pulling a compact mirror from her tote bag, she tries to signal the posse.*

*the thunder of hoof beats seem to be approaching, preceded by a cloud of dust*

*the cloud of dust almost, but not quite, completely obscures something fawn and red approaching much more slowly*

Titania, do you think you could tell Gandalf to kick up less dust?
