"See, most of the ideas I throw like that are not serious, we're already trapped by who knows whom in an ancient tomb, I'm lightening the mood."

"For some actual constructive suggestions—I'm not sure how the weight here is distributed, but depending on that there could be a way for us to in fact dig out a narrow hole and climb out. That'd leave us exposed for a while, though, so we wouldn't want to do that if we can sense anyone outside at all."

"Quicker than trying to cut a new passage."

"Still kinda wish there were some other secret passage, though," she sighs.

"...You are very strange," Brin diagnoses.

Giggle. "Okay so let's spend at least five minutes thinking about this before jumping at the first likely-seeming idea for actually getting out."

"Won't Lord Occlus come looking for you?"

Permalink

"Well, probably, but I kinda wanna get out on my own and prove that I can."

Permalink

"Oh. Okay."

"I don't think I have other ideas."

Then time to implement the plan as described. Anyone outside?

Doesn't seem like it.

So she can proceed to find the best place to start digging.

"Try on the side there, beneath that big one."

Permalink

She does.

Moving rocks, it transpires, is hard work. Brin offers her staff as a lever for some of the more tightly jammed ones.

That helps. The Force does, too, and there might be some advantage to burning corners with her lightsaber.

A bit.

Eventually, she can see daylight glinting through the cracks at the end of the small tunnel.

Permalink

Oh good. Still no one outside?

Permalink

Nnnope.

Permalink

Then she continues digging.

Permalink

And then there was a way out.

Permalink

She... kind of wasn't expecting that to work, actually.

Permalink

That makes two of them.

One final check for other people then out they go.

Permalink

Looks clear...

Oh wait no here comes a large angry hungry Dashade at speed.
