[Game Thread] Chapter 4: Tainted Sands

[Surreal]

As their ground collapsed beneath them and swallowed some of their comrades, Sul's body hung strangely limp in the air above the pit, seemingly unaffected and unaware of what had just happened. Celestine flew over and plucked his friend from the air, who could only look about with glazed eyes as if still in a dream state.

Celestine peered into the gaping hole, wondering just what could have caused this... and whether that strange abberation was the cause of it.

Celestine sighs sadly - more companions lost and with Sul in his currently mostly useless state ... Celestine began to worry. The druid had no intention of flying down into that hole - while he knew an idealist might go searching for the lost companions, Celestine hadn't lived as long as he had without a healthy amount of realism. So, carrying Sul, Celestine flew swiftly away from the spot.
