Silva Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Quote Sorry it's so short. I'm in class. Pry stepped after Araha and Damaya. At this point there was no reason to back out, she was here. But that didn't make stairs downwards any less freaky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gancho Libre Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Riathor nodded. "Sure, why not?" he asked, then followed everyone down the stairs. He didn't know why he was acting so... casual. He wanted to tell them all about... He didn't know. He was here, but why? However, Riathor knew the answer wouldn't lie with dead guards. He would have to follow... them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Knight Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Quote Alright, I'm FINALLY FREE! Let's do this! I'll transition over to a DM-like role, for the rest of this. On 10/4/2018 at 0:15 PM, Sorana said: She turned around and started towards the stairs leading to the cellar, carefull to keep her emotions in check. It was strange to be back and to have five people following her, fighting for her. Or at least they did at the moment. Apart from Araha, she only had talked for a while with Pry. The rest were complete strangers. She had no other option, but to trust them, hope that they didn't belong to the man. Shuddering she grabbed her staff tighter, her knuckles turning white. The man. If the Space Marine woman was right, he would be down there, doing something. And that would mean, that she had to face him. Cold spread during her body and she suddenly had to force herself to take another step. Everything screamed at her to turn around to run away. But she continued to walk down, felt as if she was part of a nightmare. Her own personal nightmare. She stopped at the foot of the stairs and looked around. Nobody was here. Unusual, but in the end it meant, that there were less people that could turn into victims. Stepping back, she waited for the rest to arrive, her fingers tight around the staff to keep them from trembling, showing her silent terror. The basement wasn't entirely silent. Quiet whispers reached Damaya's ears, coming from the storage room to her right. One moment, they were laughing; the next, quiet sobbing. Every moment, they seemed to shift, getting more and more horrific as the seconds went on. On 10/4/2018 at 0:43 PM, Cyanic said: "Good idea." He replied and stepped forward, taking the lead, then paused, taking off his helmet and using his mind scan. He determined that there were indeed some presences around, in the basement, but he couldn't distinguish between them. "Be warned: Presences around, unsure if Chaos or other," he said as he re-equipped the helmet. Quote Note the following two things: 1. Deras' helmet doesn't sense anything behind the door to the right. 2. The mind scan also returned a huge blank spot, just under the unknown rooms. It's almost like they're shielded. @Silva @Gancho Libre Edited October 9, 2018 by Grey Knight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanic Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 "Correction. Sense close nothing, means multiple presence around." Deras pointed to the rooms, first to the storage, "no presence, possible similar shielding," then to the two blocked out rooms, "rooms obstructed from mindscan. Different. Expecting army." "Not comforting," Araha chimed in. "Leave it to me." Ran said as she began flying toward the storage to scout. "Not this time, Ran," Araha stopped her, "Something tells me that's not gonna be a look in and get out situation," she looked to the team around her, then to Damaya, she approached her friend and spoke in a quiet tone: "Damaya, we can just leave now, I came here to find you and I'm glad that I did and that you weren't harmed. We can just leave now. Deras would be able to shield your mind, no one would be able to find you again." @Sorana She then turned to everyone else, "let's go back upstairs, we'll come back here once we have a good plan," she spoke in a low voice. @Gancho Libre @Silva 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sorana Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Quote @Grey Knight Glad you're back! Damaya shook her head. "No, I won't go back up and hide for the rest of my life." she replied, although it would have been the right thing to do. "There are whispers." She looked at the door. Running, hiding? "We don't know what's behind the door, so we can't make a plan." Feeling utterly stupid she walked over and pressd down the handle to open the door. @Grey Knight @Cyanic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanic Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) @Sorana Araha rushed up, putting a hand on Damaya's, to stop her from opening the door. "Alright," she looked her friend in the eye, "I'm with you." "but if we're going to do this, we'll need to do this hard and fast," she told her friend, then glanced at the 'army' that she said she'd brought, Deras, "we'll have one chance to do this, then the whole place will know we're here if they don't already," she added a bit louder toward her other companions @Gancho Libre @Silva. The fact that Deras didn't feel any presence from here, but Damaya was hearing whispers meant that, whatever was in here, wasn't a civilian. "All yours, Deras." She told the man. With a nod, he walked up to the wall instead of the door, and pulled a fist back, then hesitated. He summoned his shardblade and cut a few swaths from the wall, not quite a hole, but enough so that he wouldn't just pierce the concrete without breaking the wall. And just large enough to fit about three people through. When that was done, he readied a kick and pushed. With a loud crack and a low boom, the chunk of wall burst forward going at high enough speeds that when it hit the other side of the room, the chunk turned into bits and quaked the entire house as well as destroying the other bit of wall on the far side, though it was the basement, so the hole on the far wall opened only to rock and dirt instead of the outside. Deras walked inside, shardblade at the ready as Araha guarded the flanks, waving for everyone to get inside the hole. @Grey Knight Edited October 10, 2018 by Cyanic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gancho Libre Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Riathor climbed through the hole in the wall, Pushing off some metal whatevertheyares to give him stability. Once he made it to the other end, he waited for the others. He looked around the room thy were in. He summoned his shardblade. Then, tentatively, he reached out with his mind to his spren. She didn't answer, as always. Riathor didn't have acess to his surges any more than he did the day before. He sighed, then turned back to the hole to wait for the tohers. @Grey Knight @Cyanic @Sorana @Silva 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sorana Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Damaya climbed through the hole and looked around. She felt uneasy, afraid. And yet, there was hope. However this ended, she was either dead or free and while dead wasn't prefered ending, free sounded almost too good to believe it. Walking over to Riathor she felt Coru buzz slightly on her arm, urging her on. She stepped behind Riathor with a small uneasy smile, her dread open on her face. She had never been good at hiding her feelings. @Gancho Libre @Silva @Grey Knight @Cyanic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaya replied, pushing a strand of hair out of her eyes. "I didn't want to startle you. I'm sorry." She shifted her weight from one leg to the other and stepped back to put more distance between them. @Gancho Libre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something leaped onto Riathor's back, biting into the back of his head. Behind him came a dozen horrors, swarming from the crates in the storage. They were little more than ball-shaped mouths, but each one was covered in tentacles- lots of tentacles. They surged across the ground in a blue tide, heading right for the opening in the wall. @Gancho Libre @Sorana @Cyanic @Silva 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyanic Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Araha went inside after Pry and saw the swarm of ball-things, as several plans ran through her head. Sparks! she swore in her mind, failing to plan for multiple small enemies. She pulled the one off of Riathor's head and stepped on it @Gancho Libre, finding that they were easily killed, but still, there were too many of them. What was Deras doi-- As she thought that, one of the mouth balls was flung into the swarm, killing it and a few others as it slid along the ground, spilling gore everywhere. When it settled the body of the thing barely looked like a body at all. Another ball flew into the swarm and killed multiples of them, then another, then another. She looked to Deras, who had already activated his outer shielding, and had a singular red, fiery spren on his side, just one this time. He was throwing around ball after ball, scooping them up and throwing them in one quick motion, too fast for the eye to see. That armor was really something. Then she remembered something: @Silva "Pry! Tap all the heat you can!" They should be burnt at the touch." She yelled to one of her allies. As she payed attention again, she caught one of the balls of horror tumbling toward her and lunged, she caught the thing in both hands, slamming it into the ground, and stomping on it, killing it. She looked toward Damaya and realized she might not be able to fight this, so she put herself in-between Damaya and any of the other creatures. One of the creatures bit her shin and it hurt, blood pouring from the wound. She picked it up and stomped on it, killing it, one made to lunge at her, but she batted it away, then another, and she hit that as well. She wasn't killing them with each blow, but they were looking injured even from just that one punch. She inhaled stormlight to heal the shin wounds. She would-- Araha felt one of them leap onto her throat and before she could pull it off, it bit down, blood spraying everywhere. At this moment, she didn't even feel pain. She fell to the ground and the beasts took the opportunity to swarm her body, attacking and biting. In their attempt to eat her, their horrible gnashing teeth also inadvertently bit each other, but that didn't matter. What was the strangest thing was that she felt none of this, no pain, not even the biting, though she knew what was happening, or what was probably happening in that writhing pile of beasts there. She thought of her end and how pathetic it was to die to these small creatures, not even able to protect--. Then she realized she was fine, standing a few feet beside her friend, still in a stance. What was that? An illusion? Mindtricks? But no, there was still a writhing pile of beasts on the ground, that was where she just was, right? What was that-- as she continued thinking, a whirling blade cut through most of the creatures who were gathered in a pile, the blade landed on another creature then disappeared, and another whirling blade shot through the cluster, killing even more. The creatures grouping up allowed Deras to kill a few of them with decisive strikes. Ran darted forward, blurring past the few and made multiple sweeps on the ground, Adhesing large swathes of the ground and sticking the beasts to them. One of the creatures bit at her, but it missed, then she flew into the jaws of another, reemerging completely unharmed. Deras was in the middle of the room, which made the creatures focus their attention on him instead of the other more vulnerable members of the party, but Araha stayed vigilant just in case as there were still a few stragglers that were making it through and she just batted those away, protecting herself and Damaya. She didn't know exactly what just happened before, but she wasn't counting on it to help her if it happened again. Deras was still standing, but he was covered in the things from head to toe as he kept using his shardblade in large sweeps on the ground, killing multiple dozens per sweep, they were clearing the room out. Only a few balls remaining. Araha backed herself onto Damaya's shoulder, head on a swivel as she stayed vigilant against both the swarm and the hole in case anything was trying to get through there. @Sorana @Grey Knight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gancho Libre Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Riathor curse. What had started as an awkward situation had turned into an attack! He burned Steel and saw that the beasts carried no metal in them. Oh well. There were other ways to kill a wierd ball-shaped mouth. He burned pewter and tin, feeling the flying shapes swarm around the group. He felt the rush of air by his head. Riathor sighed, the Flared pewter, spinning around and slamming his fist into one of the creatures. On contact, however, he didn't pull back; he let his arm continue it's motion until he hit a wall, smashing the beat between the stone and his fist like a walnut. Immediately, he spun around and stomped on another one, sending almost liquidate guts spewing out. Then, he was almost decapitated by a shardblade. Riathor jumped back, hitting another wall and crushing two more monsters. One of the group members had a shardblade. Well, Riathor wasn't too sad about that, even if it did arise a strong sensation in him to see his own blade. Riathor nodded in respect to the Shardbearer, he didn't seem to notice. Riathor shrugged and pulled a couple of small spikes from his pocket. There were a dozen ways to kill a man with Allomancy and common construction nails. Riathor smiled and shot the spikes through the group of beasts slightly denser than the others, ripping through them. He felt a monster bite his elbow and Riathor jerked his arm in an amazingly fast motion, using the laws of motion to rip the beast from his flesh. Riathor stopped a moment to catch his breath. What had he gotten into? Edited October 11, 2018 by Gancho Libre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
