Along the cliff wall, were you to follow it away from the cove a ways, you would come across a little indentation in the otherwise sheer cliff face. And in this indentation is a fairly straight mulberry tree, it’s branches brushing along the sides of the indentation, as if the cliff has wrapped itself around the little berry-bearing tree to protect it.
Were you then to climb this tree, to a height of about 20 or 30 feet, and happen to climb out to the end of a branch that looks like a thick braid, then part the leaves, you may be surprised to find a tall, narrow crack in the wall of the cliff face.
The “hallway” runs about 3 feet in before it curves to the left, back toward the cove. After another 3 feet, the entranceway opens into a much larger cavern, one with a high ceiling, and ample space for at least 6 elves to lay down. Along the edges of the cave it’s dark, very dark, so it’s hard to tell if there are any other openings into other cavernous rooms.
For the moment, Llune has gotten the bulk of the room swept and has laid down a few grass mats, nothing too fancy just yet. Near the entranceway is a basket with some orange fur and what appears to be some sort of thread-forming spindle. Also near the entranceway is a small hole in the wall that holds the cocoons of several sleeping silworms.
This room is for the Hurricane Pini Plot.

Dew walked into the cave, following her nose and the images Llune was sending to her. She easily climbed the tree and found the braided branch. She stared at it for a while, wondering if it grew that way naturally or if perhaps anotehr tribe had been through here with a tree-shaper. Once inside, she looked around, sending back to teh otehrs that the cave was probably big enough to hold everyone, even the water elf. To herself, she though that it might possible hold Morningtail, and Starsong adn Dacner's bonds as well, but she quickly pushed that thought out of her mind. She didn't like dwelling on things like that.
She walked around, trying to get used to the place. she liked the smell of it. She could smeel Llune, although somewhat faint, the sea and forest all in one. She found she was beginning to like the smell of the sea and forest together, and of teh various elves. She settled in, waiting for the others to arrive while leaning against one of teh walls.
((figured Dew would be teh frist to arrive))

Llune and the rest of the group arrived at the base of the mulberry tree, just as the first wet storm smells became strong enough for the sheltered glideress to smell them. The temperature of the air had changed, dropped.. Or wait.. Risen? It's hard to tell. No rain had yet fallen, but the sky had begun to darken. Llune had led them to her home as quickly as possible, sending to Dewpaw as the tree came into sight, **We're here, if you'd like to help with moving things up...**
"Here," she said as she arrived at the foot of the tree, breathless and nervous about the weather. "Up there... We can climb the tree or we can float..." She's got a basket in one arm and a handful of mats over the other, which she floats up and inside the cave opening. "What can I do to help?" she asks, holding her arms out for items to hold, or whatever else was necessary.

Blaze had taken up the rear of the group, one eye on the vast-deep and another on everyone else to make shure nobody went missing at the last moment. Backy had appeared quite suddenly and clawed his way up to the firestarter's shoulder, snuffling worriedly. At Llune's offer, Blaze handed her a half-dozen nut-cups he's picked up from the hut. **These might be usefull. Otherwise, do you think you and Savith can get us up there? I can climb, if I must, but Dewpaw and Peyote...** Blaze wasn't shure if he wanted to stay out in the rain or get lifted, and was trying to weasel his way out of it. Even as he sent, a single fat raindrop spattered off the rim of his hat, and he glanced back at the clouds, now veiled in a silvery curtain of rain that had not yet hit the ground. "Oh, blast. Here comes th' rain."

Llune takes the cups absently, her mind elsewhere, and those with magic feeling would feel a tingling as she sent to Dancer and Starsong. For the time being, the cups sit in her hand and she does not reply to Blaze at first. "Dewpaw is in the cave already. I will float you up in a moment..."
And then, after another few moments she speaks, absently, as if she's very far away, "Starshine has found Dancer, they are returning now..." Her eyes are still clenched shut as she sends just as hard as she can, to try and figure out how much farther off (and in what state) the two elfesses are.

Dewpaw jumped up and walked to the edge of the entrance, where Llune was. "Whatcha need?" she asked, holding out her ahdns to take anything the otehr elf might give her. she was still thinking of Morningtail and hoping he would be safe through teh storm. she was worried that two major storms in a row would be too much for the young wolf. She grabbed the stuff Llune had dropped off and hurridely moved them back into the cave, weaving through the stone hallway without paying much attention. once she dropped the stuff in a corner, she walked back to the entrance, still somewhat distracted.

Savith, ladened with items, slipped them from his shoulder as the first fat drops began to fall. "You float up mother, and steady those that come. I'll do the heavy lifting to get them up to you," he stated to Llune simply before glancing to Blaze. "Time is no longer our friend. You after Peyote," he said as he turned his gaze to the villager. "Ready?"

Peyote had packed everything up and was carrying a double armful when the group stopped at the cliff. She frowned lightly as she looked up, then glanced at Savith with a nod. "Ah... sure."

Pulled from her sending concentration by Savith's suggestion, Llune opens her eyes and blinks, momentarily forgetting what's going on, but only momentarily. "Oh.. Oh, yes, of course." is all she says, still sounding as though she's a good ways off, and then floats to the entrance of the cave, "Ready."

Savith watches his mother ascend and waits for her ready before he lifts Peyote from the ground with a thought. His eyes narrow at the strain of lifting her without touching her. His mind could feel the added pull of the stuff she was carrying. His chin tilted up, the start of the rain flung a fat drop here and there on his face even as the first of the lethal storm surge began to eat at the beach behind them. He worked as quickly and carefully and he felt he could, lifting Peyote up as an offering to his mother to take, working to keep his hold steady and even as he drew the villager even with the ledge and waited for Llune to take control.

Llune does her part to assist in Peyote's trip up to the cave. She steps outside the opening, holding to the edge and keeping herself aloft while she guides Peyote into the cave. Her forehead wrinkles as she's unaccustomed to lifting such a heavy load, and sweat breaks out on her brow as she concentrates, but it's so very helpful that Savith is handling the bulk of Peyote's weight. The occasional rain drop slaps against the stone outside the cave, or onto the broad leaves of the mulberry tree, and the sky continues to darken.

Savith sees Peyote safely to the cave before turning his attention to Blaze. "Your turn," he entones.

Blaze had watched Peyote's flight with trepidation, and from looking at how sheer the rock face below Llunes cave was, not even he could climb it. **I think i might just-** A fork of lightning arched acrost the clouds with a thunderous crack, and Blaze's hair stood on end. That helped with making the decision.
**Nownownowgetmeupintherenow!!!** He looked franticaly form Savith to the cave, not wanting to be caught in the downpour he knew followed the first burst off lightning, or to become the target for the next bolt. He shut his eyes, and waited for the worst.

Savith fought a snicker at Blaze's cat-caught-in-the-rain act as his magic flickered from him. It snaked out, collected Blaze, and peeled the weight of the world from him. Without the added burden of all the stuff Peyote had carried, Savith hoisted the both of them to the cave mouth, and to his mother's waiting grasp. The humor he found in the situation, that cold Chosen's pleasure at another's discomfort, played lightly on his features and pulled one corner of his mouth up in a grin. Yet, even as he drifted teh fire-starter toward Llune, the grin faded and he looked off toward the distance. **Where's Dancer and Star,** he questioned no on in particular.

Peyote fought from squeeling as she was lifted, and instead turned her attention to holding all the stuff and getting back to solid ground under her feet. She stammered a thank you as Llune guided her into the cave and while everyone else sorted themselves out, she busied herself with 'unpacking'.
