Securing the Supply Line

Sunday, November 6th

Magnar began his journey back to Pittsburgh through the dwarven tunnels, starting his journey after seeing Georgio and Sanura off into the pit to return to Pittsburgh through more conventional means. In order to travel as lightly and freely as possible, Magnar left any supplies he had with him back in the branch of the tunnel they were using as a base. Sven and Marra were staying behind to ensure their new base of operations remained hidden and any dwarves from Agartha who evacuated from the city would be greeted and protected appropriately. Magnar donned his wolf cloak, which was beginning to accumulate a serious wet dog smell from the repeated trips in and out of the water with only small amounts of time spent in musty dwarven tunnels in between. He slung his axe across his back, leaving his hands free to navigate the tunnels as necessary and feeling fairly confident he wouldn't need a believable mortal disguise for the relic weapon.

Magnar started his journey at a slow trot, hunching his back slightly and bending his knees so that his head would remain below the jagged surface of the top of the tunnel, had anyone been watching the cloaked figured maneuver through the pitch black tunnels he would have looked more like an animal predator than a human. His considerable dexterity and experience navigating through tunnels such as this made his movement smooth and natural, though Magnar mentally noted to himself that the tunnels clearly were not designed for smooth or easy travel. The floor of the tunnel was at least as jagged and rough as the top of the tunnel, no provisions were made to smooth out a path to enhance the footing, a fact that was easy to dismiss when traversing the tunnels at a normal pace, but as Magnar picked up his pace the unstable footing became a focus of his travels. Magnar soon passed the second branch off the main tunnel that he had explored earlier with similar results to the one his companions were now staying in, he did not even pause to consider the tunnel as his purpose was clear and Marra had informed him that dwarven miners would be quite easy to discover even without slowing down. The miners would have very little reason to conceal themselves in tunnels they believe to be secure, furthmore unlike Magnar they would be forced to have some sort of device that gives off light so they can see which should quickly give away their presence while keeping Magnar fairly concealed in the darkness of the tunnel.
