Escape from the Mines (Shunna Maza , Ubi Sunt & Callie)

[DM Vitkyng]

shunna proceeds down the east passage, slowly and carefully. As she nears the corner she can see a the light begins to take on a purplish glow, and a loud buzzing can be heard. The buzzing vibrates the very air, making your teeth and bones start to ache.

When she reaches the corner, she peeks round it and sees that caution has paid off. Twenty feet down the corridor after the corner it opens up into a vast chamber, with several guards patrolling the edge of a gigantic hole.  There is a floating platform in the center of the hole, about 20' lower than the floor of the rim of the pit, where technicians in some sort of environmental suits work on some sort of equipment.  Beneath the platform, the pit crackles with energy. Some sort of controlled reaction is sending a beam of energy up into the bottom of the platform, or maybe the platform is firing a beam of energy into the pit, it is hard to tell.

You haven't been spotted yet but you are obviously expected. The two guards nearest are crouched down in defensive posiions, blasters aimed straight down your corridor. If you step around the corner at all they will certainly see you.
