Tayla, naturally, volunteered first to go across through the bridge while Jalna could only wait and watch her progress.  “Be careful, sister.” she told her with genuine concern, doubtful of the condition of the bridge when she first saw it.  Jalna’s worry was unfounded however as Tayla eventually reach the other side of this cavern without incident.  She was relieved.<br/><br/>Her half-sister informed her it was her turn.  Jalna calmed herself and went on in emulating what her sister did in crossing.  Nice and slow they say.  But in spite of that, things did not go favorably for the silver-haired girl.  A moment of unsteadiness caused  her to misstep and falter for the bridge’s foothold.  That was enough for the whole structure to finally give in, and all fall in the water, after the wear and tear it was subjected to.  Jalna had to swim the remainder of the way. Once she emerged out of the water, she wasn’t too fond to find out a number small, unlikely hitchhikers latched themselves on her.  “Ugh!  What are these things?” she groaned, as she one by one pulled the worm-like critters off her, especially those that clung to her exposed skin.<br/><br/>Moving on, the sisters eventually reached a ledge overlooking a cavern.  There was a natural stair that would allow the pair to descend to the cavern floor but they did not proceed just yet.  Tayla did not like the sign of the smell of rot she detected and used her keen eyes to discern for anything within the area - as to the reason why such an odor was present.  Jalna joins her in the visual search.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Acrobatics (Dex): Jalna-6; Tayla-15.  Perception: Jalna-9; Tayla-6/13<br/></div></div><br/>
