Kaylee takes the right turn. Her paws are quickly stepping into more and more water. She's ankle deep, and it's getting deeper. Being a feline makes it easier to see in the dark, however it's impossible for Kaylee to see when the tunnel will end. Her paws can barely touch the ground now as she is forced to start swimming. She finds it difficult to keep afloat, especially when she realises she has to dive under the water. There's no more space for her to breathe, but how much further until there'll be another air pocket? She could drown if she was under for too long.
She dives. The water is bitterly cold, but she kicks her legs. She doesn't want to tire easily, but she knows if she doesn't make a move on, she'll run out of air. It's dark, wet and cold, and she is starting to panic. She considers turning back - perhaps she should've taken the other path that Marlee had been on?
Kaylee tries to keep her head near the surface, hoping for any kind of air pocket. Her heart is racing and her lungs are burning, but she keeps her cool as the water drops and she can resurface. Gasping for air, she realises she's not out of it yet. The tunnel branches off to the left. She now has the option of continuing her journey in the water straight ahead, or veer left.

Valkyrie chooses right. Usually, the path would be fairly safe, but for a hallucinating wolf, anything could harm her - including herself. Loud breathing can be heard nearby, but it appears to be on the other side of the cave wall. What could be residing in here? Whatever it is, it sounds large and vicious.
Once Valkyrie reaches the end of the tunnel, she hears Clegane's voice to the right. He's speaking to someone? Who could that be? Or is it one of her hallucinations again? Valkyrie doesn't know anymore. She can't be sure what is false or what is reality. She is now stood at the end of the path with three options.
Left appears to be heading towards the loud breathing noise, right appears to be where Clegane's voice came from, and straight ahead? That would be diving head first into the unknown. What will Valk choose?
ooc; Okay I'm going to clarify the posting order now that everyone has posted (because I'm confused myself).
Order: Mactíre Hunter Mika kevlar Neytiri Pluton Leader Smiff
So, it's Mika's turn to post now (:

After taking the path ahead of him, Virgil was greeted by the sight of a chasm. It looked like he would be able to jump across but the rocks didn't look completely stable. What if he fell trying to reach the other side? Would he be able to get to the bones at all? Was there some kind of rule about turning back and choosing a different path?
He decided to take a chance anyway. If he was truly meant to die here, so be it. The more time he stood here thinking, the more time the others would have to reach the center of the cave.
Virgil backed up a few steps, putting some distance between himself and the edge. Once he thought he had backed up enough, he raced forward and kicked off of the edge. He easily reached the other side but, the stones under his feet started to crumble. Virgil's heart beat rapidly as he struggled to get to safer ground. He rapidly pulled forward with his forepaws as pushed his hind feet on the rock wall.
After successfully pulling himself up, Virgil crouched a few feet away from the edge trying to catch his breath. The snow leopard hoped that he would be able to survive this, he would really hate to die before giving Novus a chance to do anything against the packs.
He stood and walked forward, approaching three more paths. He stood there, looking at the paths and thinking before choosing the path leading right.

Virgil carefully makes his way along the right pathway. It is dark and damp, and he is sure he can hear something squeaking above his head. As he continues to walk, he accidentally kicks up a stone from the ground, and it hits the cave wall with a loud bang.
Shrieking fills Virgil's ears as the bats are awoken from their nest. They flap around their unwanted guest, trying to force him away. They are only small, but they are a nuisance. Virgil speeds up, trying to get to the end of the tunnel as quickly as possible. However, the bats are now enjoying the commotion and aren't letting up anytime soon. They are no real threat, but the high-pitched shrieking is extremely annoying.
Finally, Virgil reaches the end and looks from left to right. The bats have quietened down and are flying back to their nest to sleep. Phew. That was annoying.
Now Virgil must make the choice between left and right.

As Felicity delved deeper into what seemed like an endless cave, she could feel her paws sinking into water. She frowned lightly. How deep underground was she? She only slowed for a moment before she continued her trotting. If she hastened, she could probably get further through this cave - but how?
She needed to get ahead of the game and she needed to get ahead fast. As she continued moving, she found the water rising further up her legs and lapping at her underbelly. Felicity turned her head to the side, spotting a much safer looking path (and much drier).
But safe was something that was unfamiliar to this particular poodle.
She could feel the current attempting to push her body back but she surged forward. There was no way she was going to go back now - balls to the wall. Her paws were barely touching the bottom of the lake but her claws clutched on to every rock that she could manage, pushing her way forward as best as possible. Her muzzle hung open from the effort, tongue lapping at the water as she went.

Felicity takes the much harder decision to try and walk against the current. It's difficult, but manageable. A couple of times, she misses her step and is sent a few metres downstream, causing her to do it all over again. It's an exhausting process, but perhaps she will be closer to the centre?
It takes a lot longer than anticipated to reach a place to finally get out of the river. She is wet, cold and tired. Felicity scrambles up the bank and looks around.
Something begins to crawl along her back - a spider perhaps. She was close to the next turning, and quickly looks left and right, wondering which way would benefit her the most.
Neytiri's turn

Due to Neytiri not posting, we will be skipping her turn. Marlee is too exhausted to move from the current of the water dragging her down. She manages to crawl onto the bank and collapse, breathing heavily.
Pluton Leader Smiff's turn ^^

Water dripped from her luscious coat, droplets falling from the tightly wound ebony curls as she finally emerged from the water. Her muscles burned from the effort the lake had proved to be, groaning in protest to the message her brain was sending: keep going. She eagerly looked for the next decision she had to make, head turning from left to right.
As she licked her chops and panted quietly from the physical exertion, trying to catch her breath for the next mini-adventure ahead, she felt something tingly crawl across her back. The uneasy feeling hastened her decision process and she began to sprint down the left tunnel, nerves squelched by the wind whipping her fur back.
Maybe if she ran fast enough, the spider or whatever creepy-crawly was would dislodge itself and she could move more carefully. Or she could slam into a wall with her brazened overconfidence.

Felicity turns to the left. The spiders that begin to descend from the cave ceiling retreat into the distance as she sprints away from their nest. She's lucky she hasn't been bitten!
I sudden roar shakes the cave. It sounds almost like a bear. No, that can't be right. As Felicity approaches the next fork in the path, she tries not to think about the huge animal that may be residing in the next paths.
Left or straight ahead?
Srsly, ANYONE wanna have a post? Pluton Leader Smiff Mactíre Mika Hunter Neytiri ?!

Welp, you all suck apart from kevlar. So! kevlar wins the internet and I would've given her 10,000 tokens but my token thingy appears to have disappeared. Instead, Kevlar, you can buy the whole Gift Shop if you want. Because I love you <3
