Logs:Cave In

Cave In
RL Date: 2 April, 2015
Involves: High Reaches Weyr
Type: Info
What: Something causes a cave in in the High Reaches caverns. Several people are trapped.
When: Day 5, Month 6, Turn 37 (Interval 10)


At about 5:30PM on day 5 of month 6, a low thud that many brushed off as their imagination was followed by a louder, deeper booooooooom and then a vibration that wasn't strong enough to dislodge most people.

Long story short, a cave-in situation is occuring right now in a series of caves and a hallway off the Weyr entrance. Five people, that we know of, are trapped behind that wall, though only four will be known initially as H'kon is trapped within a trap. (Like Inception, but rockier!)

Initial rescue attempts were thwarted, but a hole was eventually made to allow for air to circulate some, food and water to be sent through, and new glows for light. It's a hole the size of a USPS medium flat rate box (google if necessary for dimensions and approximate size).

The weyrs immediately above have been vacated as the floor, while not disintegrated like one blue dragon suggested, are decidedly unstable.

Of immediate concern is how to get people out and not have the ceiling fall further, and the miners, smiths, and woodcrafters are working together on that along with blueprint specialist archivers from Harper Hall. Why it happened and how it happened is a secondary, though very curious, concern.

The official word from on high is that people who have no business there are being warned away. There will be journeymen ranked crafters of the miner, smith, or woodcrafter variety posted there at all times, just to make sure no one does anything dangerous.

Play points:

  • Visit the trapped people! Talk to them through the hole in the wall!
  • Talk amongst yourselves.
  • Progress notes will be posted intermittently as to how the crafters are doing.
  • On Monday, a great rescue attempt will be made and while we have initial volunteers for that aspect, note you can still get in on the action by letting me know. :D
