YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN RIGHT NOW! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW STICKY SLIMY DISGUSTING AND PUTRID SMELLING YOU ARE. GET OVER IT!
@Omega Redux
The want to lash out for @Crimson Ruby 's own incompetence became grave as the beastfolk admitted to having recklessly taken a leap of faith. It served her right, and she felt content with a sigh to represent the immesurable dissapointment at the moment.
Until another figure came from behind, quick to draw her flintlock and take aim to the newcomer, @Herculean Drakecon, until he introduced himself. A fearless knight this one, and her aim went low once he proved his allegiance to the expedition.
"My apologies - If we are lucky it's not broken and can be put back on place, I rather not have capable hands busy with carrying the wounded." Shane explained, eye turned back to Ruby. "Worst case scenario, this is a nest. I'm not sure, but there are human bones everywhere, and corpses made out of chitin."
And then she turned back to Herculean with a questioning look on her face. "Exert extreme precaution. There is another person with us who went on his own, but we know not what kind of dangers lie up ahead. I trust you didn't find anything on your way here?"

Ruby winced at the idea of putting it back, but she also didn't want to become a potato bag being carried by @Shane
"Shit! Then let's make it quick. I hate this place now." She said angrily (and with a vaguely broken voice).
"What? You will carry me? Can you help with that?" She asked @Herculean Drakecon, surprised, but kinda pissed at the idea. But she was getting mad at everything anyway, so it wasn't noteworth at this point.
If I don't make it back with the others, please take care of the folks at Pormont. At least until they can take care of themselves. They may seem like they don't need help, but everyone does. Be the light that I know the both of you were meant to be. Don't let the darkness take over. Be better than the rest of us. (What follows is a moment of unintelligible screaming—or is that wailing?—until the message just ends abruptly.)
@Ayna Nietzsche @Pete Simpson
Are you guys all right? Be careful, okay? Just finished my thing with the Nerd Herd, and everything should be fine. Hopefully. (You hear some weird sobbing as the message ends.)
