Channelknight Fadran Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I have decided that this must be r e v i v e d. By the time they'd made it down the well, Ellis was covered with sweat. It was cold and damp, which was nice, but did nothing for the smell he was probably emitting at this point in time. "So where do I put this thing?" He asked. @xinoehp512 @Condensation @Mystic Syn
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 i have been summoned “Don’t ask me,” she said after dropping down the well. Q brushed herself off, squinting in the dark.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Cupra glanced around, squinting her eyes. "Strange," she murmured under her breath. "This wasn't here before..." Ellis suddenly felt a chill emanating from the amulet. @Channelknight Fadran
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 He shivered, reaching into his pocket instinctually and attuning the Amulet's power. Oh. Wait. No. Ellis pushed away the power. "It's... calling."
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I was gonna offer to join this but then I realized I prolly don't have time.
Condensation she/her Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 "Calling? Calling you?" Melody asked.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Gerald frowned. The fact that the amulet kept acting up was... concerning, to say the least. "Would you rather one of us held it?" he offered. 20 hours ago, xinoehp512 said: "Strange," she murmured under her breath. "This wasn't here before..." "What wasn't here before?" asked Gerald. "These tunnels," said Cupra. "Before... it was just here."
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Q frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Would you rather one of us held it?" he offered. "That's probably a bad idea. You couldn't handle it. You--" Wait. I squeezed his eyes shut, shoving away-- Ellis shook. "I can't."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 1 minute ago, Mystic Syn said: Q frowned. "What do you mean by that?" "As in, it was there." Cupra pointed down the tunnel, which curved slightly away from the bottom of the well. "Short tunnel. Big gold doors at the end. Impossible to miss." Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "That's probably a bad idea. You couldn't handle it. You--" Wait. I squeezed his eyes shut, shoving away-- Ellis shook. "I can't." "What do you mean you can't?" whispered Gerald urgently.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 "It won't." Ellis--I--Ellis pulled his hand away from his pocket. "It's--"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "It won't." Ellis--I--Ellis pulled his hand away from his pocket. "It's--" "Normally, when someone is reluctant to relinquish a newly found artifact, that's a really bad sign." Gerald twitched his tentacles. "I've seen people possessed before. It isn't pretty."
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I squeezed my eyes shut again. It was still calling. "T--take it away."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 1 minute ago, Channelknight Fadran said: I squeezed my eyes shut again. It was still calling. "T--take it away." The amulet thrummed angrily. Without further fanfare, the Gray Man dropped down the well.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I whipped out my sword, spinning around to face him with a speed Ellis couldn't have possibly had by himself.
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Q rose an eyebrow at Ellis, concern flickering in her gaze. She forced herself to look at the newcomer instead, her knives appearing in her hands.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 The Gray Man whips out his own own sword, his mouth stretched open wide in a soulless grin. He moves to strike- far, far faster than before.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I slashed, blocking a strike. Sparks flew as I slid to the side, darting back in with a cold fury.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 The ground squelches. The Gray Man's eyes flash black. From the shadows, two revenants emerge. They charge - not at Ellis, but instead at Melody and Q. In their hands are a pair of well-worn daggers. The Gray Man matches Ellis's strikes with superhuman strength, but he remains defensive.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I ignored the revenants. Blade on blade, clatterings and clangs through the air. Weaving my blade left, right, and center, I-- Wait. Ellis pulled away, turning to the revenants; to Melody and Yulong. No. Nonono. This-- A piercing agony shot out from his spine, hot blood running along his back and coating his shirt. Ellis shouted in pain. I spun around, back to my enemy. The pain faded and the wound closed.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Dark sludge bubbles out from the wound as Ellis heals it. The Gray Man pauses, tilting his head slightly as he gazes at Ellis. He waits until Ellis is ready once more before striking again.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Quote Ellis totally knows what he's doing here and what's going on. Do I? No. "Begone." I hiss.
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Oh flip. Didn't realize we were actually going. Let's get going then, if it ain't too late. 29 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: From the shadows, two revenants emerge. They charge - not at Ellis, but instead at Melody and Q. In their hands are a pair of well-worn daggers. Q swore under her breath, quickly bringing her blades up to block the revenant's attacks with one, giving a quick slash at the creature's neck with the other.

The Gray Man freezes in place, quivering slightly. 22 minutes ago, Mystic Syn said: Oh flip. Didn't realize we were actually going. Let's get going then, if it ain't too late. Q swore under her breath, quickly bringing her blades up to block the revenant's attacks with one, giving a quick slash at the creature's neck with the other. The revenant leaned back clumsily, the blade nicking its neck.
