The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[bluecrimson]

David, Devon, Kud, Melethia, Riki, Teri
Devon looked around the room while he talked to Teri. "Thanks for the help, Teri. You look like hell, though. Let me touch you up." He put a hand on Teri's sleeve, and the cleric was cleaned up from the Perstidigation spell cast on her. A look around the room told him the room had to be fairly old, and it probably wasn't a good idea to linger in the water. He lifted up his shortsword which still had the light from earlier issuing from it to brighten up the room.

Melethia shook the water off her like a dog and went over to Teri and Devon. "Speaking of stuff, how can you two come in here with so little on? Here, lemme search through here and see if there's something fitting you two..."

Tajuh
As he stood his vigil out there, he saw the drop pods beginning to fall. "Wall with everyone else in the crew behind me, hordes of angels before me. It's time to make sure none of them interfere with the extraction." He gave a small chant and drew both shortswords that had the enchantments from Slindis' rapiers put on them from his wallet before focusing on the fallen angels that were about to land.

Slindis, Rugal

With the last impact Rugal had to move out of the way as the titan fell through six floors of the temple with its momentum and settled in a corrosive acid pit, eating away at its armor. It tried to swipe the spiked chain to get back up, but the acid made short work of that.

Slindis easily moved out of the way of the flaming grease, and the grease caught fire below the titan from that same spark, charring the titan as Slindis got a few clean stabs through the titan's legs.

 

[bluerocker]

Angelus, Caim, Jake

The duo turned to realize that Jake was there the whole time, and Caim covered his face in a palm; clearly looking embarrassed,

"Ah, you're the one who broke me out... Just -- don't mention what you saw to anyone, alright? It's bad enough I get flake for being a murderous asshole; I don't need people knowing about my baggage. What happened there was... Private."

He flexed his hand a little, and looked back ahead,

"But, thanks for the save, Panzer. Furiae would have done me in otherwise..."

David, Devon, Kud, Melethia, Riki, Teri

Teri laughed at David's conjecture, gave a nod of thanks to Devon and muttered something in Celestial, to which her eyes took on a faint glow as she looked about, [color=0E59E4]

"Hmn... I'm not seeing anything magical so far, save for the floor. There's a light relaxing sort of spell here, but nothing super notable. As for your thought, Mr. West, I have spoken with an Angel once. He wasn't too bad, save for his position in the Hierarchy. Otherwise, it could be safe to assume either divine or Alien origins. The one I spoke to alluded to the former, but that doesn't completely eliminate the later..."

[/color]

As she continued scanning, she heard Melethia's question, and gave a soft sigh, [color=0E59E4]

"Not all of us are able to be well-prepared or crafty as you are, Ms. Melethia. Up until before we jumped, all I had in terms of magical items was Sadei here; not that I mind having her."

[/color]

Her eyes continued to scan the environment as they wandered to the hallway, the Light spell on her staff providing some comfort in the unknown place...

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David, Devon, Kud, Melethia, Riki, Teri
Before David set off, he took a chance to take a look at the towels that Riki spoke up.
Despite being unused for ages, they were still quite soft and absorbent.
".....This are nice towels....." He said as he picked though them, picking up a red one.
With the manner as if he was stealing some prized artefact (...Which he KINDA is), He threw the towel over his shoulder and went down the hallway after Riki, using the "torch" Devon gave him.
"OI! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT WANDERING OFF!!? *I'll* Lead." He snapped as the kid before taking the lead.

Slindis, Rugal
While he was expecting some class of trap, a actual acid pit?
"...Unusual, but not un-welcome..." he commented before he turned back to the Titan Slindis was facing, slowed slightly by the fire it was standing in.
He ran over and said "I'm going to try and make an opening, Get ready to strike."
After his warning was given, he ran to flank the beast, placing it in-between Him and Slindis for an attack at 2 fronts.
He got in a few quick jabs, enough to get the monsters attention.

Dark Tomoya LOLZ NINJA'D ^_^.
Location: Mexico | Desert.
Time: Evening | January 1st.
Weather: Stormy.

As Tomoya was about to leave, something Hiryu was not going to allow to happen, He heard a voice from behind him.
"There is no escape..."
"Well about fucking tim-"
"LEGION!"

On command, a horde of robotic panthers and hawks came into view and pounced on the angel mid-sentence.
While they clawed and bit the Dark one, He knew it was meaningless to try and disable him.
Still, getting attacked by several dozen robotic animals tended to anger people, him especially.
And to kept this act up, he disappeared back into the desert, back to hiding in plain sight.

 

[bluecrimson]

David, Devon, Kud, Melethia, Riki, Teri

Devon rolled his eyes. "Really? You're in the temple of a fallen angel and you steal a towel?" He honestly didn't feel too comfortable with taking anything, since there was a chance of something being corrupted.

Meanwhile, Melethia pulled out a pair of gloves [http://ddowiki.com/images/Item_ChargedGauntlets_Description.jpg] and some goggles [http://ddowiki.com/images/Goggles_of_Time-Sensing.JPG] and handed them over to Teri. "Here you are, miss Teri! These should help out a bit, but still be careful."

Slindis, Rugal

The titan did a wild slash around it then reared back to exhale a noxious cloud on the two as the aftereffects from the other titan falling through the floor caused the cracks to spread, leaving only a small gap. Slindis and Rugal would have to get across fast, but leaving that titan behind them would be a bad idea as it likely knew the area quite well.

Slindis breathed the fumes as she stabbed the titan a few more times, creating more holes in the legs to weaken its support. [color=c20000]"Rugal, we need to finish this thing now before it uses that breath again!"[/color]

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David, Devon, Kud, Melethia, Riki, Teri

David shot an offended look at Devon.
"Hey, It's not just a Towel. It's an Angel Towel taken from one of their oldest temples. Sure, it's not as nice as a golden idol or some crystal skull, but in principle, it's just as valuable." He said as he rubbed a bit of dust off it as the group left the bath-house.
"Besides, It's one of the few things we've seen here that isn't trying to kill us. that alone works for me."

Slindis, Rugal

"What the-"
Rugal was taken off-guard by the gas attack and inhaled a rather large amount of the cloud.
The effects were near instant, he began to cough and choke loudly which in turn caused him to inhale more of it.
Before he could be overwhelmed, he retreated from the gas cloud back the way the pair came.
He heaved over and choked up a large mouthful of blood before coughing hard again.
Once he was done, he turned back to the beast and wiped his mouth with his arm before smashing it into the ground.

"POWER WAVE!" He called out as a projectile raced across the ground towards the armour's legs.

 

[bluecrimson]

David, Devon, Kud, Melethia, Riki, Teri

He grinned. "Well, you do have a point there. Melethia, I hate to ask, but I'm kinda weak on the equipment side as well. You got anything in there that I could use?"

Melethia let Teri try on the equipment then looked at Devon. "Well, ya did help me out earlier, mister, so I think I can find somethin' in here..." She rifled through her bag, finding a pair of metal studded gloves [http://ddowiki.com/images/Cesti.png] and an elegant ring [http://ddowiki.com/images/Sigil_of_Stormreach.jpg].

"Now take care of those, okay? I'm gonna beatcha up if they're messed up next time I see 'em!" She stuck her tongue out as she searched the bath house for anything else of note.

Slindis, Rugal

Slindis jumped to the side as the shockwave wreaked havoc on the already damaged leg, causing it to break and topple over. [color=c20000]"Rugal, we need to get across while we have the chance!"[/color] The hole was a ten foot gap, and any slipping would result in falling into that acid pit.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Slindis, Rugal

Rugal stumbled a bit after his attack, entering another coughing fit as he motioned Slindis onwards as he began to make his way over.
The Beast struggled to get upright again as his leg was now in a rather bad state, allowing Rugal to run past unharassed.
"Right, You go F-*Cough*-irst...I'll be right behind you..." He gasped as the poison began to take effect.
He then proceeded to watch the Armour as Slindis crossed the gap.

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis, Rugal

She edged along and quickly got across. [color=c20000]"Rugal, don't you give up on me now... Come on, make it across!"[/color] She began preparing the spell to get rid of the poisoning as she anxiously waited for him to cross.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Slindis, Rugal

The armour was advancing fast on Rugal as he went for a jump, not wanting to risk the ledge for fear of a cough knocking him off balance.
It was cutting it close, but he managed to make the jump before he could be introduced to the beast's Axe-saw.
He rolled on landing, ending up on his hands and knees as the armour tried to follow.
Good News: The weight of the monster and the already underlying structural weakness ensured his side crumbled and he plunged to join his brother in the acid pit.

Bad News: He took down a few floors on The Fighter and The Drow's side on the way down, causing the floor they were on to become unstable.
"Son of a...MOVE! N-*Cough*-NOW! RUN!" He shouted as he forced himself up into a sprint away from the edge before their side capsized.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Angelus, Caim, Jake
Jake nodded gently, the look on his face still showing his disgust at those demons. "Vor, those things are horrible. Just another bunch of enemies that were defeated. Your secrets are safe with me, sorry to say but I've known them for a while. Teri as well. We're thorough in our work... But I digress. We need to move on and link up with some others."

Jake then looked in his webbing, pulling out a few water bottles and some sammiches from a pouch. "Here, eat a bit and you'll feel better guys. I might not be the best fighter, but I'm usually pretty well prepared if I know what's up."

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis, Rugal

The two sprinted as the floor collapsed behind them with Slindis tugging Rugal's hand to urge him on. [color=c20000]"Hurry up, Rugal!"[/color] Much like a house of cards, the floor below them collapsed behind them as they sprinted for 20 meters. With the last of the rumbling stopped, they looked back to see that a large portion of the floor had caved in. [color=c20000]"Hold still while I get that poison out of you, Rugal."[/color]

She chanted and placed her hands on the man, purging the poison from his system as the two took a breath. [color=c20000]"Can you continue on?"[/color] Slindis looked Rugal over to check for any injuries she may have missed.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Slindis, Rugal

It was touch and go for a second, but the duo managed to get out of the danger zone before the floor collapsed beneath them.
Once it was safe to do so, Rugal heaved again and coughed up some more blood, prompting Slindis to use a spell to expel the poison from his system.
The two took the chance to take a breather before she asked if he could keep going.
"Indeed...Just right after fire, Poison is the thing I loathe to fight against the most..." He said as he spat out a few more drops before standing upright, taking in the damage they caused.
"That...Was a little too close for comfort. What about you, You alright?"

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis, Rugal

She looked at Rugal with a bit of concern. [color=c20000]"I've had to deal with poisons in my time, so it wasn't too bad. And when you deal with fire, the smoke is the thing that's going to get you. The fire's easily dealt with when you have the right spells."[/color] True, the poison would mess up quite a few people, but she could get past them after the events of that day.

Teri, Devon, Riki, Melethia, Kud

As Devon made his way through the baths, the image of Ella hitting on Puce flashed through his head. "...you're shitting me. Damnit, Ella!"

He would have to have a stern talking to with her after they got out of here.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Slindis, Rugal

Soon Rugal was back at his peak and ready to proceed.
"Heh...When fighting those with fire as their domain, I find smoke has little to do with it!" He smirked as they marched off from the wreckage behind them.
"Though, I'm a little concerned now. That was merely one security measure. While we are skilled enough to overcome it, I fear the others mightn't be so fortunate..." He added, worrying slightly about Melethia.
"You bring any means to contact them? When I last saw them, I wasn't in a position to arrange a comm-link or something of that nature."

Teri, Devon, Riki, Melethia, Kud

"....Who the hell is Ella?!" David exclaimed after Devon's outburst, clearly he was yet to met the latest Demonic member of the Rising Dawn.
"Does anyone know who or what he is talking about?....Anyone?....[sub]Yep, Only Sane Man[/sub]..." He remarked as he lead on, avoiding the odd trap and raised plate.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Devon, Riki, Melethia, Kud

After graciously thanking Meltheia for the gear and trying it on, Teri found to her pleasant surprise that the googles fit wonderfully, and the gloves were a comfortable fit. She could even say that she felt a little stronger with them on; but that was probably a moment of confidence more than anything.

"...you're shitting me. Damnit, Ella!"

The Cleric tilted her head in confusion with David, [color=0E59E4]

"I'm a little curious too... A friend of your's, Devon? And what are you mad about? You were just fine a minute ago..."

[/color]

Angelus, Caim, Jake

Caim frowned at the notion of food, but when Angelus gave him another glare, he complied and took a small bite out of a sandwich half. It was some time since they last had food; wasn't it? Caim didn't realize that until he noticed the sandwich was gone. Funny how one doesn't notice such things when they're hungry.

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis, Rugal

Slindis shook her head. [color=c20000]"The League back home had rings for communication, but I don't know if they work any more. I've certainly tried using it plenty to contact others from there, but there was hardly a response. If I'd been proactive, we could have had them spread out amongst every member of the group, but that's for another time."[/color] Her memories went back to that exploration group, remembering faces that she'd likely never see again.

Thinking about the League brought her to her daughter, and then the attacks in the forest. [color=c20000]"Rugal, were any of the shades encountered of anyone that wasn't in the group? If that's the case, then my author's here."[/color] She pulled out the picture that she had gotten from the Red Mage attack, and although the face looked a bit different, he could clearly remember that as the man that had aided Melethia somehow.

Teri, Devon, Riki, Melethia, Kud

Devon tried on the well-fitting gloves and managed to get the ring on his right index finger, then turned to Teri. "She's someone I met while I was training down there, and she's Kurumu's half-sister. I don't know what exactly was going on to cause it, but apparently she was putting the moves on fairly strong. Considering what I went through to get her here, it's more than a bit messed up. And thank you for the gear, Melethia. It's much appreciated." The gloves certainly made the man feel looser and a bit stronger, and he felt a bit more confident with the ring on.

Melethia turned to the two and nodded. "Well, Miss Teri, you did help us out back there even if you are a bit scrawny. And mister Devon, whatever that touch of yours did, it really helped me! Just try not to wear yourself out, 'kay? The young elven girl went ahead worked through the bath house and methodically disabled each trap, placing valuable metals in her pouch.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Angelus, Caim, Jake
Silence blanketed the three as they each ate a sandwich and drank some water. Finishing up, Jake packed the bottles away again.

"So, we gotta keep moving down and forward to get to this stone then. I wonder how those two little kids are doing and if they're dead yet. Entitled little bastards, I wanna wring StormShaun's neck for introducing those two. Fucking anime protagonists, they aren't even from a real fighting series..."

[HEADING=3]Dimension: Avatar Adventures Universe[/HEADING]
Location: Corrupted Temple of Light | South America
Time: Morning | January 2nd

Corrupted Temple of Light: | Aftan | Akane | Gabrielle | Mark |
Akane wiped her tears on a sleeve as Aftan was okay, and Kokoa saved as well. He voice was very quiet when she spoke. "Thank you Mark. You saved both my loves... We are indebted to you. I want to go *home*, and not have to deal with this. But we must, or there will not be a home to go to. I'm sorry everyone, I am not strong enough... But I will try as long as you all do."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

[HEADING=3]Dimension: Avatar Adventures Universe[/HEADING]
Location: Corrupted Temple of Light | South America
Time: Morning | January 2nd

Corrupted Temple of Light: | Aftan | Akane | Gabrielle | Mark |
Akane looked up at the Dramatist as her tears stopped, brought about by the kind words of the Demi-God. She sniffled one last time and dried off her tears. "Mark... Thank you."

She pulled the man into the hug the three Knights were sharing, and they all spent a moment there, the warmth of four caring people. Even Kokoa stopped crying, drying her tears upon a fluffy tail. Releasing Mark, Akane Kokoa and Aftan all helped each other stand up.

"Faith... I had forgotten about Faith. I was too far lost in the loves of my life to think of anything else than loving them and loosing them. I've...I've been really shaken, but with everyone by my side we can do it! I can do it!"

Though there was no fire behind her eyes, they no longer held the look of a desperate and broken woman, but a caring determination. Akane held her hand out, and created a fireball to hold aloft for light. "It's time to find the others. And clear this temple..."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Slindis, Rugal

Rugal seemed puzzled at the mention of Communicator Rings, but he dropped the topic once Slindis brought up Devon and a picture of him.
"....Wait a moment....Yeah, I've seen him. He watched over Melethia for a while back at the camp. A fake of him attacked you? Make sense to send the creator after the creation." He said as he looked at the photo.
Then it hit her, the one who ruined her world, made her life unbearable was with her daughter.

Teri, Devon, Riki, Melethia, Kud

"Awwww...It's like Christmas over there." David quipped as each of the authors began to equip the gear Melethia gave them.
I have got to get me one of those hammerspace pouches... He thought as he checked a corner before advancing.
