Kryner figured they had to be involved with whoever was in this mine, "I think those were the lookouts, but kids with a gun, doesn't make sense why not full-fledged goons that know what they are doing?" Kryner wondered aloud while Danny hushed them,<br/>"Movement." He scoped in in the dark and fired killing someone hiding behind a mine beam and shouted,<br/>"Argh! Mav! Third corridor!" Kryner fired the spear and it sent arcing rumbles so loud it could be easily heard a mile underground. Hoss had covered his ears while Danny bolted his rifle action back and kept a move on,<br/><br/>Using his hands to communicate since everyone was still deafened from the crack of thunder from the spear, he led them along to a side passage. From there it was a couple more sneaky corridors down to a steep staircase that lead down to the main access of the anti-chamber that held the white crystal. That was long gone, but new mining equipment was set up to get the chunks of ore out and then... the pit where the thorns were entering from had been lit up to show it was a pit with a massive brick of jade.<br/>"So that's where they came from... Branchs was freeing the thorn consciousness from the jade... how that's impossible you just turn to energy." Kryner muttered to himself until a thought occurred, not doing that but rather the jade is a giant lure for Thorns. Regardless there weren't any people moving around down in the site as they likely were looking for the party trespassing in the mountain. However, two shadows could be seen across the room, a man leading Theodore bound and gagged out from a room.
