WAYFINDING: Furnace Mountain (little guys edition)

Who: Akechi, Firoza, Ring Spirit
What: Wayfinding in Furnace Mountain
Where: Lavaflow tunnels
When: After his previous mission in Heavy Downmoor
Warnings: LORE. ...wait, that's not a warning?

After the trip through Heavy Downmoor, Akechi honestly expected more hardships to come. Yet, with his familiarity with the region and the combined skills of his teammates, the trek toward the tunnels is startlingly smooth. Of course, his careful use of Tailwind certainly doesn't hurt.

Yet the tunnels are surprisingly cool and dry. The molten rock, aged with time, bears ancient footprints that draw Akechi closer, and he flutters down to the ground to inspect.

"It appears we may be on the cusp of an incredible archeological find, though we mustn't let our guards down."
