*slowly rocks backwards from his sitting position and passes out*

~~the whisp, confused and oddly stirred by these events, dances over to mnzrr and into its ear~~

*Kitty stands and turns back towards the cave, heading through the swamp*

*Stretches, gets up, and follows Kitty*

Squik squelsh

*follows along too*

*Kitty leads the way back to the cave, the whisp occasionally floating over the ashes in the basket Menza remembered to pick up and occasionally floating over to Menza's pocket, out of which the big key stuck*

*Kitty waits for the motley group to reach the cave, before letting out a huge roar*

Ummm, could you give me warning next time. I think I need some clean underwear.

the entrance to the cave is blocked and there is no light within...

they get the feeling that they are now deep underground...#

*Kitty waits for Menza to turn his torch on, and then silently pads once more to the back entrance of the cave and into the dark tunnels beyond*

*fumbles in the dark till he finds the torch*
