The Deep Quarry stretched out before them.
Team Soup stood at the crater's edge, looking down into a massive bowl of jagged rock and glittering crystal. The walls sloped downward at a steep angle, covered in sharp mineral formations that caught the afternoon light and made little rainbows everywhere. The bottom was hidden in shadow, at least two hundred feet below.
"Okay," Renna said, peering over the edge. "That's more terrifying than I expected."
"The crystalline composition suggests high mineral density," Emric observed, already analyzing. "The reflections will make visual tracking difficult. We should rely on sound and movement indicators rather than sight alone."
Lyra adjusted her grip on her spear. "The crystals will also conduct frost energy efficiently. If we need to create a defensive perimeter, this terrain favors me."
