It's been a long time and i apologize for the long silence and lack of sketching... but it looks like Stu is going to be continuing his adventures as a regular SKETCH again! Praise the Lord!
Stu's feet hit a solid wooden beam at the bottom of the rope. It took him a second to get his balance. He looked below and saw some tattered rigging which didn't look like it could hold his weight, so he had to find a different way down...
Stu reached up over his head and found a rope that seemed to be strong enough to hold his weight. It was tied securely to something far down in the darkness... but secure none the less. He decided to head down to try to find Patty.
Stu eventually got to his feet and looked around a bit. The room or space or cave or whatever... was quite dark.. but some dim light came in from the hole high above his head. He looked around to see what he could see - which wasn't very much.
Stu didn't fall very far at all... He landed with a crash into what seemed to be a large wooden basket. His back hurt quite a bit so he laid there and waited until the pain subsided. Where on earth was he?
