Slowly the shapes in the darkness came into view with the awareness of a massive headache. Aitana started to sit up and regretted it immediately. With a groan she laid back down on the cold stone. She had been picking flowers, and then .... The thought was like a word on the tip of the tongue. She couldn't remember what came next. There had to be something to connect her last memory with where she was now. She could make out some skeletons and furnishings. It appeared to be a single room at the bottom of a set of stairs. Light was filtering in from the stairs. The room was not as dark ask it could have been. There was a fire in the middle of the room and a few candles in recesses along the walls. They did little to add cheer. The room was clearly an abandoned crypt of some sort.
The dryness in her mouth told her that she had been unconscious for a while. She reached for her pack and fumbled for some water. It was a good thing she always carried plenty. The cloth was cool and damp. An alarm went off in her head. Her pack should not be 'cool and damp'. It should be warm and dry or cool and dry, but not damp. There was nothing damp about this place. The water skins must have broken in her fall.
Aitana laid there a while longer and steeled herself to cast a small spell. For a moment the pain in her head, then a feint green glow enveloped her. The effort was draining, but at least her head felt slightly better after the glow faded. She really needed to get out of this place. Something about it was blocking her ability to heal. She sat and gathered her possession that had scattered. She started to stand and sat right back down. She must have broken her leg. Again green glow enveloped her and faded, and she tried again and sat back down again. This was going to be more difficult than she expected.
She rummaged through her pack until her fingers hit a smooth stone. A few incantations, and ... nothing. It was cracked and apparently it was not going to be able to transport her home. She could not get out on her own legs and her hearthstone could not take her home. She needed help. Aitana cocked her head as if listening. Yes! They were still there. She could hear the voices of her guildmates. At least that part of the hearthstone magic still worked. Could they hear her?

Re: Lost!
Sind fell for the arcane trap that trapped Aitana to an even greater extent then her. It took the combined efforts of Grellix, Lanite, Ralleo and mah self to free the two.
