[The Aron leads Imogen's group swiftly through the labyrinth tunnels of the Caverns, heading deeper and deeper down. It seems unsettled, skittish, but it's still a good guide and it isn't long before they reach a craggy opening that the Aron says will open into the mine.]
[At the same time, Jade's group finds themselves following the tunnel that the Nosepass point at. Although long and winding, there are no other tunnels branching off from it, and it isn't long before they arrive at the same opening as Imogen's group does.]
[Before anyone can speak, however, the whole mountain seems to shake. Sharp snapping sounds and dull roars echo through the whole area as the ground splits open and the shaking disturbs the rock, causing entire tunnels and caverns to cave in. Behind them, the entrance to the mine crumbles and disappears.]
[But there's no time to worry about the loss of their objective, not when staying inside the Caverns may mean that they'll be caught in the destruction of the earthquake.. They have to leave - now.]
