Channelknight Fadran Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 Seems it’s that way for all of us, Kaeni thought to herself.
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 On 1/5/2023 at 7:53 AM, NerdyAarakocra said: Il'anque grinned. "By all means. This ought to be good." @The Bookwyrm "All right." Avi took the pelts and, after some work with her dagger and a simple spell, had three pieces of the silvery fur-covered skins to wear as cloaks. She drew a simple rune over each one, gave them a time limit of three days, for redundancy, and activated them. The pelts shimmered, their magic activating. Avi picked one up and wrapped it around her shoulders, turning invisible. She handed the other two to Il'anque and Isek. "Time to start climbing." @Frustration

The glengal didn’t make a sound during the event, the lightning striking and coursing straight through its body in one agonizing instant. It would’ve felt akin to a boulder smashing across its entire body, or perhaps a god smiting it from the inside out. But the instant after the shockwave roiled across the mountainside, the glengal fell completely limp. Smoke rose from its body with a quiet hiss. Kaeni would’ve been panting if any wind was left in her lungs to breathe. I’ikeq curled up into a ball at the sound, willing the world to disappear. In his mind, he floated, surrounded by a warm feeling. The feeling of home. I’m going to die, he realized. He’d always known he was less powerful than his fellow Reaper trainees, and deep down… He whimpered, waiting for the end to come. Voices penetrated his void, but he pushed them away. They weren’t here. He wasn’t here. He was dead. Quote Edit: I’ve been MIA mostly b/c of the SE AG. I suspect it’s the same for Tani. Edited January 8, 2023 by Szeth_Pancakes

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 Quote Aight! Time to write some timeskip. They'd all said "just a minute" to take a breather, but it had taken nearly fifteen to finally get back on their feet. With Ran'at's burn washed and dried, Mercury's fractures splinted, and Kaeni's whole array of cuts bandaged up, they finally began to continue the ascent up the mountain, leaving the smoking corpse of the glengal behind them. After that the mountain began to steepen. Kaeni found herself fighting through stabs of pain to reach out and grab handhold after handhold to pull herself up the slopes - it was beginning to equally favor her hands and feet, and from what she could see from here that wasn't going to change anytime soon. Being somewhat tired, quite wounded, and exceptionally grumpy, not many words were exchanged between the five of them; so it came as a starting surprise when distant voices sounded from up ahead. @Frustration @NerdyAarakocra @The Bookwyrm @DidIforgetanyonesorryIhaven'treallybeenfollowingyourguys'storylineatall
NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Meanwhile... Il'anque loved this invisibility cloak. She had seen no fewer than three monsters on this cliff face, and they had all ignored her entirely. This climb was short, but hard. It was almost entirely overhangs, and there was even a roof segment - a near vertical extension of the wall that Il'anque had to climb over - at the crux of the route. Nevertheless, using underclings - holds that can be gripped from the bottom - for stability, she made it up. She found a good place to attach her rope, and let it fall down. Hopefully, the rest of the group would have an easier time getting up with the rope set in place. Il'anque stood on top of the roof, and looked up. The rest of the mountain was a huge climb to reach the bald peak at the top. That was her goal. The White Iron awaited. @The Bookwyrm @Frustration Edited January 9, 2023 by NerdyAarakocra

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 Quote Well okay. I'm not gonna ban it - just bear in mind that a lot of monsters in the future rely heavily on senses that are not sight.

Mercury for the first time felt, weak. That she never would be able to protect others. The old fears came rushing back, keeping her in her dour mood. Just as she was feeling she would never get out of it, she hear some noise coming from ahead. It peaked her interest, just a little bit.
Frustration Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Isek dug a new spike into the wall, and using it to form a laticework of metal needed to support his weight. He had declined to use an invisibility cloak, primarily because it would have limited his movement so much he was more scared of falling than what creatures would do to him. Even now his chances of breaking free from the rock and falling to his death remained high.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Kaeni peeked over a crevice. There was one guy, just beginning the ascent of the steepest cliffsides to the Caves. A metal elemental; yeah, she'd seen him around here and there. But if he was on his own, why was he talking? And why had she heard more than one voice? He was another trainee, though. From what she could tell there wasn't any point in sabotaging each other, so there probably wasn't anything wrong by making a few extra allies. "Hello!" Kaeni called out. @Frustration @The Bookwyrm @NerdyAarakocra Edited January 9, 2023 by Channelknight Fadran
Frustration Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 "Hello!" a voice called out. Isek flattened himself against the cliff face, carefully looking around until he found the source of the voice, a collection of people bellow him. "Hey, I think we have company, the kind that won't try to kill us."
