Boss hovered in midair, and thought. That wand...staff...thing. Even if it isn't the source of her power, it probably helps her focus. And she's winded now; if I take it she might not have any fight left in her. And she smacked me clean out of nowhere; maybe she has some kind of precognitive sense, or can tell where I'm teleporing. Either way, I need to be very, very fast.

Boss shook his head. No. No. Violence probably isn't going to work, and I don't want her to think I'm the bad guy here. Even though I totally am. Talking. Maybe talking would be better.

Boss cracked his neck, put up a psychic barrier around himself, and teleported back to the engine. "I just want-"

This time the beam of...magic...stuff...hit a barrier about six inches in front of Boss.

Boss teleported right next to Pink Girl, and, fast as he could, snatched the want out of her hand. Then, fast as he could, he teleported to where he was standing before. The whole action took less than half a second. "Alright." Boss said, showing the wand...thing. "Listen for a minute. My name is Boss, and I don't like fighting. And I don't want to hurt you, or anyone else, for that matter. Is there any way we can talk like...I don't know, rational adults?" Boss moved over and offered her the wand back. "Do you have a name, maybe?"

"That would be true if I didn't have nanites in my body that filter out most of it. I would have to drink two of these bottles back to back just to get a buzz. Same goes with smoking too," Matt said when he noticed the train landing with Boss on it. "Time to go to work," he said in a serious tone. Matt activated the laser cutter on the mech and cut the link between the locomotive and the rest of the train. Without missing a beat he also punched a hole clear through the boiler in order to kill the power. He aimed the ADS [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System] the mech had at the lady in case she tried anything.

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Melethia thought about it for a moment while the Imps continued disarming the wrokers inside the mine, then responded to Jenny. "Miss Jenny, with all the defenses they got there, ya really think they'd just let us walk off with what we need? 'Sides, they're guardin' somethin' big here, an' with all the defenses they got here, I wanna find out what it is."

She took a closer look around the area for the guards at the base before rushing into any drastic actions, as well as finding out what the main patterns were.


Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus, Kalastryn

Devon helped the Tonberry on his shoulder as he entered the area with Kalastryn and responded. "I understand what you're saying. I just wanted to let you know that I'll try to have your back along with Cadolbolg and the rest of his family."

As they went on, Devon heard the translation from the wrecked Door and thought about it for a second. "Hmm, this feels a bit too easy... Maybe there's some kind of magic going on here?" He could already detect the magic from the others here, but he wanted to focus to find out exactly how many auras were there.

Code:
Devon casts Detect Magic!

You detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.

[spoiler=Detect Magic info]1st Round
Presence or absence of magical auras.

2nd Round
Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura.

3rd Round
The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)

Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras.[/spoiler]

Time before the next level 0 spell: 18  seconds.
Slindis, Rugal, Lupito

Slindis held Rugal's hand with her own left hand, and she faintly smelled the whiff of gnolls in the air. [color=c20000]"Well, we did what we could, and we all became close contacts. Tira, when Panthyer gave birth to Sadei, I made sure to be her godmother! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be around her much, but Melethia spent a lot of time taking care of her... She'd be coming up on three this year if Eberron were still existing..."[/color]

The light sound of Padded footsteps could be heard from deeper within, but Slindis' Darkvision allowed her to comfortably maneuver herself and Rugal around a few recent droppings. [color=c20000]"Rugal, we'll have to make our way through here soon before the gnolls find us."[/color]

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

Storm was led by the tribals towards a strange forested area that somehow managed to grow on the Mesa, in the Heat, At that altitude.
They took him inside the forest and to their camp and that's where things got weird.
Aside from some Tee-Pee tents, there was a wide array of people from Businessmen to Cowboys to well known criminals.
All of them were lazing around, completely unaware of Storm's presence, either staring off into space or eating bowls of fruit and berries.
But he was moved now towards a sealed off part of the camp, adjourned by loads of holy looking symbols.

"Welcome...to the Spirit of the Clouds..." Veteran Child said as they came before a massive Redwood Tree, easily a few thousand years old and covered in a strange form of Ivy, Alpha was unable to find out exactly what kind.
There were also scorch marks from where the ivy was lit on fire, though age had granted the Redwood a hide thick enough to shrug off the flames
"Now, Bottom Dweller, use Hot Light to release the Spirit of Clouds and learn the secrets of the One Being." He asked Storm to using his flaming helmet to light that shit up!

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Squishy managed to get past easily enough as Melethia went in for a closer look.
The Elemental managed to sneak near the Lunch tent:

"-So she said "Not even with yours"!"
"That's funny, man!"
"Yeah...You hear about Steve and those guys in the East tunnel?"
"No...What happened?"
"Caught a bunch of them trying to smuggle out some of their find, He wasn't happy, Heard he used a Pickaxe."
"Wait...Are they dead?"
"No, because everyone can live after being stabbed in the skull by a pickaxe."
"...Huh...."

"I don't get it, I thought the was a Coal mine?"
"It is."
"But...We're taking out Iron..."
"Yeah, I don't know what it is about this area, just rich in ore I guess.
"But that is Geologically improbable!"
"....Huh?...."
"Grrr...Forget I said anything..."

Melethia managed to get a idea of some blind spots she could use and as the Imps managed to steal most of the guns off the populati-
"...Hey! Who took my gun!?" One shouted.
"What the?!"
"Alright, who's playing me?!"
Soon the entire camp began to enter a ruckus, every man trying to pin the other for taking their gun.
It was even enough to stop the Gatling Patrol, The way was as clear as it was going to be.

Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus, Kalastryn

Code:
Devon senses no magic outside of the faint essence of the Power Crystal, when I say a place is deserted, I fucking mean it! XD
The Sealed Door proved easy to open when you blast it with a Gem weapon.
Beyond it was a staircase that led down into a underground passage

Following it towards their target, they found that the passage had branching paths, 3 of them to be exact, Left, Right and Forwards.
The PDA didn't work as well underground so no using Sat Nav to pick out the correct one.

Rugal, Slindis
Rugal too heard the footsteps and DEFINITELY smelt the droppings, holding his nose at the sweet smell of animal shit.
"Oh wonderful...So shall we double back? if they are in this cave, then I question the value of moving closer to their location..." He said, wondering if they knew any other linking cave networks that they could flank them with.
"Tell me...do they die easily at least?"

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Melethia grinned at the mayhem that had been stirred up my the imps doing whatever it was that Jenny had asked them to do and urged the others to her. "Let's hit 'em now while we've got the chance, everyone!" She led the two inside with weapons drawn, ready to gut anyone that decided to attack them.

It was around this point that the imps started doing something incredibly nasty yet clever: after removing the large majority of the ammunition on sight, they began slipping the occasional gun in the ranks of the miners. The thought process was to sow even more discord amongst the ranks and have it spiral down to infighting.

Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus, Kalastryn

Devon looked at the split and thought about it for a second before turning back to Caim. "Well, we could all go one way here to find the gem or we could split off in pairs to cover ground. Should we opt to do the latter, we need to make sure one person with flight's on each team. Then again, we're already short on numbers, so that may not be the best choice..."

Rugal, Slindis

[color=c20000]"Hrm, it's odd that they're in this cave, but we should make our way back now."[/color]

It was right around that time that Rugal heard the faint whistling of an arrow headed their way. Due to that hellish training Slin had put him through with Teri, he instinctively dodged the arrow along with Slindis.

[color=c20000]"We've got company. They're tenacious, but they die just like any others."[/color] Rugal didn't even have to have the Aura Sense on to feel the shift to Water Stance, and they'd need it.

After all, they'd managed to find a stronghold of gnolls, and they were all aiming to capture or kill the intruders.

"Good. I need to limber up after that climb..." Rugal retorted, his pride kicking in as he used his Sense to locate the Gnolls and determine their line of fire.
"Dark Barrier!" He shouted as he formed a Ki Shield on his forearm and used it to block a few more incoming arrows.
"I got this side!" He stated before charging headlong against the Gnolls on his side, being careful to not trip over the nooks in the cave floor in the process.
Once he felt he was close enough, he flung his shield like a disk at the nearest one, hoping it'd hit.

As the water elemental slithered along the ground, he mulled over what he had heard, [color=9F9FFF]"Pickax to the head? Sounds nasty, whatever that is..."[/color]

As the chaos began breaking out, Squishy did as he was commanded, and hid in the shadows before his time allotted in the Material Plane faded... And then he was summoned back to his Cleric's side, and he began relaying the information he had gathered in quick Aquan to Teri, which Teri was quickly translating back in common to her allies, paraphrasing what was heard in order to save time,

[color=0E59E4]"Okay, apparently, this is supposed to be a Coal mine, there's iron coming out of it anyways. Weird. I'm gonna check for magic related phenomena when we get there. Also, there's a guy named Steve who's a hothead. Killed some would be thieves with a pickax. We'd best watch out for him. Garm, to me! Keep that nose at the ready!"[/color]

Code:
Teri's current amount of turn attempts: 4Undead/4Fire
Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Caim, Angelus, Kalastryn

Caim held up his hand with the ring on hand,
Code:
"We've still got these. I say we split up. It'll cover more ground and we won't all have to be cramped in a fight. Cadolbolg, go with Devon. Ton Ton, Kalastryn. Angelus and I will take the top route."
With that, the warrior began his advance towards the top route with dragon in tow. As they did, Cadolbolg waved goodbye to his parents, and his friends when he flew side by side with Devon. As they did so, the turtle tried to strike up conversation with the man his parents and pact partner trusted so well,

"So, friend Devon, I do not hope you mind me asking, but did something happen between you and friend Ton Ton? You seem awfully protective of him. Not that I mind someone watching my pact partners back, but he is able to defend himself very well; as both you and I know..."

He shuddered, remembering the feel of the knife in his skin. It was not often something was able to pierce his metal-like skin...

In the meantime, as the parties went their separate ways, Ton Ton did his best to strike up conversation with Kalastryn, his little lantern providing a gentle light in the darkness, [color=15650D]"I'm afraid we haven't spoken very much before, ma'am, but you seem to know my comrades fairly well. What's the history between all of you, if you don't mind me asking?"[/color]

Thanks to the efforts of the Imps, the team was easily able to slip past the Miners as they began to confront each other over their misplaced guns.
All that stood in their way of getting a butt load of Iron was finding it in the dark mine.
Jenny was glad they were out of the front yard and it's Gatling Gun, but Teri's warning hung in her mind as they proceeded onwards.
"Okay...So all we need is a vein or source big enough to suit our needs...But...We might be in a bad spot now, I mean, if they find us now, we won't have any way out..." she said as she grabbed a lantern and began making her way down into the depths.

Melethia acknowledged the warnings as she began making three notches every so often with her purple dagger.. "Yeah, I know... All else fails, we can use one or two of my bags to store the ore in." She kept a sharp eye out for anything out of the ordinary as they proceeded down the mineshaft.

The Imps split up into two major task forces at this point. One went to ensure that the attention would be drawn away from the main group while the others searched for the main Iron ore veins.

Devon, Cadolbolg

Devon waited for a good thirty seconds before casting a Light spell on the tip of his blade, then looked at the miniature turtle dragon. "Well, Ton-Ton helped me out in a big way a while ago, and he really does feel like some of the family I've not had since I've gotten here. Besides, he really is a great little guy. I don't mean to gush on about him, but I'd like to be there with you to back him up."

He laughed to relieve the tension he was feeling before continuing. "Wow, I must sound like a sap here. I didn't mean to weird you out, buddy." Although it was somewhat dark in the tunnel, the light from the blade made it quite easy to see for a distance.

Code:
Time before next Level 0 spell: 6 seconds
Rugal, Slindis

The shield hit the nearest mook, killing it before Rugal smelled the pungent odor rising and the grinding of the earth in the enclosed space. [color=c20000]"Rugal, their casters are summoning elementals! They're a good deal tougher than what you're used to, but killing the caster will sever the link!"[/color] She began working her way through to the casters, but first she and Rugal would have to work through the guardians made of the ground. Did I mention that they'd be assaulted by arrows while this was happening?

Earth Elementals are resistant to physical damage due to their DR, although SLindis and Rugal will be able to still deal damage. They're also immune to critical hits, but they take normal damage from all elemental hits and Dark Barrier tosses.

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

Storm looked at the Ivy and knew what the people of the clouds wanted him to do.
He knew what was going to happen, at least in a chemistry theory.
He turned on silent mode in his helmet.
"Alpha activate space-mode. We need to make this helmet airtight."
The Spartan said as he nodded towards the Chief and activated his speaker again.

"Okay then." Storm said with uncertainty.
He knelt and lowered his head which burned the ivy, he refused to take his helmet off.
"I took enough drugs when I entered this damned soldier program." Storm said to himself as he saw the ivy start to let off ... something.

"Yeah, I know... All else fails, we can use one or two of my bags to store the ore in."

After Squishy returned safely to his water bottle, Teri focused upon the path ahead, chanting in her usual blend of Celestial before casting Detect Magic,

Code:

[color=0E59E4]"You got the mundane traps Mel, I'll keep an eye out for anything spell based... Garm, remember what I told you. You smell something funny, lemme know right away."[/color]

The wolf gave a small growl in response, ears perked up for any sound that could give away a hidden opponent...



Devon, Cadolbolg

"Wow, I must sound like a sap here. I didn't mean to weird you out, buddy." Although it was somewhat dark in the tunnel, the light from the blade made it quite easy to see for a distance.

Cadolbolg shook his head, "Hardly, friend Devon. I asked you because I know you understand friend Ton Ton well. At least, to me, you do. And in that understanding, I hope to understand my pact partner better. Even if we did make this pact in a spur of the moment, I'm slowly realizing that I really do not know the creature I've made it with."

A moment of silence hung in the air, and Cadolbolg flailed a little, his wings flapping harder at the possible implications of his statement, "Do not get me wrong, friend Devon, I do not regret my choice at all! Friend Ton Ton is a strong warrior, and I trust our shared lives in his hands! But, as I said a moment ago, it is only as a warrior I really know about friend Ton Ton. If I want to be as good as a pair of pact partners as Mother and Father, then I need to understand, right?"

In that statement, Devon could see that the little turtle dragon, very unlike the Tonberry he often took as a companion, acted very much his age. In fact, like any other child, he was seeking to emulate his parents as much as possible; so much so that he even took on something as soulbinding as the pact. Whether that was a good or a bad thing, was up in the air...

Melethia nodded before searching the walls, and she found more odd ores besides iron. There was definitely something very odd about this mine, because these combinations of ore simply shouldn't be right next to each other! SHe couldn't notice any traps, but this was the most bizarre mine she'd ever been in.

Sadei did her part, helping Teri with the focus for the spell so an ambush would be less likely. What caused all of this to interweave like it has?

Devon, Cadolbolg

Devon brushed his left shoulder off, letting Cadolbolg perch on it as he talked to the second Cutie Bruiser. "Well, he's really bashful, but at the same time he has this small glow of confidence that he doesn't really know himself. Although I don't really know about what one of those pacts do, the fact that he chose to do so with you means that he feels comfortable around you enough to have that kind of connection. And honestly, if you want to know him better, hang out with him more. Kind of like that training with me, except without all the fire and shin stabs." He grinned, patting Cadolbolg on the head before addressing the next issue.

"When it comes to being pact partners, though, go at a pace that feels comfortable to you and try to be what you want to be. Even if it's different compared to what Caim and Angelus do, they'll be accepting of your choice even if they get a lot worried." He continued talking, trying to get to the core of the issue bothering Cadolbolg by literally being a shoulder to talk on.

The trio went deeper into the mine, Garm's nose and vision getting them past any miners that might have spotted them. They then noticed minecarts filled with a wide array of minerals, Gold, Sliver, Diamond, Emeralds, This was a Gold Mine in both the literal sense and the metaphorical sense.
"Wow....Guess that's why they needed the extra guards..." Jenny said as he shined her lantern over them, taking in the treasure in front of her.

She then looked down at the tracks and said "They must use this route to move Ores...Maybe if we follow it, we might find where all the Iron is."

Esia grabbed the wand and without missing a heartbeat, had blown off the weird dish that had been aimed at her. "My Name is Esia. Now, you two are going to leave these people and their belongings alone." She said and took up a defensive stance. "Or am i going to have to "convince" you two to not rob us, forcibly." she said, clearly up for the challenge.

[hr]

Dea sighed, probably the first emotion that Matt had heard out of her, if it even counts as an emotion. "She's annoying, too happy and bright." the monotonous girl said coldly.

Caim, Angelus

The Pact Partners went down the middle path, walking deeper into the temple and out of sight from the others.
As they went on, they set off a pressure plate at their feet, resulting in a stone wall rising up from behind them, sealing off the hallway they came in and preventing them from backtracking.
As Caim invested the path now sealed behind them, Angelus detected something moving towards them: Company to be exact.

Dozens of bone hands began to erupt from the sand below their feet, grabbing their ankles and whatever else they could get a grip on.
They then tried to pull the partners into the sand that claimed their lives long before.

Devon, Cadolbolg

While this was going on, Devon and Cadolbolg entered a wide open room with a Lone Mirror in the centre of it.
Before it laid a description:

The Mirror before you shows more than yourself, It shows who you really are within.
The Mirror before you does more than reflect your wishes, it makes them reality.
The Mirror before you isn't for greed, for it can end your life...

The walls had images of a man looking at the mirror, his reflection holding an apple despite him not having one in this hand.
The next image however showed the man with the apple and not his reflection.
After the mirror was a large stone door with a Key-hole, it was a puzzle alright...

Rugal, Slindis

Rugal ducked under a few more arrows as he tried to get a lock on the location of these Elementals Slindis talked about.
As he did, he backed up against something, a quick examination with his hand showed it to be a stalagmite.
Footsteps in front of him allowed him to locate one of the elementals and a wicked plan formed.
"Alright then. Lets see what you've got..." He said to his enemy before football tackling him and the pair of them locked heads.
Shifting this weight, Rugal managed to position himself in place to be able to lift the Elemental up with a Suplex.
Roaring from the effort, he brought the Elemental over his head and dropped him spine first on the stalagmite, impaling the creature and freeing up the path to it's master.
Bringing up his Slashing Aura, he rushed at the nearest Energy Field, unable to tell if it was the caster or not.
He DID know it wasn't Slindis so he had that going for him.
Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

Once the fire hit the Ivy, it released a cloud of what appeared to be pure white blinding smoke.
The entire village rejoiced at the return of the "Spirit of Clouds" and flocked towards it, taking deep breaths to inhale more and more of the sweet drug.
They went into violent spasms of Ecstasy not long after, it was like Weed, Cocaine and Opium all at once.
Whatever it was, it looked like one hell of a trip as everyone fell to the ground, drooling and with huge smiles on their faces.
Maybe Storm might join them?

"Your telling me, this lady is starting to get on my nerves. I'm glad this mech seems to be designed for riot control because there's a lot of non-lethal weapons I want to use on her now," Matt said to Death. Matt pushed a few buttons and a few seconds later a large square energy shield popped up on right arm and on the left a MK47 Striker. As he swung the shield in front of the mech and loaded the launcher with a tear gas grenade and setting the distance that it would explode, Matt asked Death, "You got a nickname I can call you? Calling you Death sounds weird to me, especially in front of other people."

"Call me Dea.(Day-uh, it's pronounced)" she said and looked at the train then looked at the mech. "This thing is a bit larger and no doubt thicker than the train in terms of metal use. Remind me why we are't using this to help feed and repair the ship?" She asked in her tone of voice that sounded like she was dead.

Esia looked at the me h and pointed her wand at it. "I'm not letting you take these people's money! They've worked hard for it!" She shouted at Matt.

"This mech is mostly made of lightweight metals so it can be easier to transport and we're looking for iron or steel," Matt said to Dea. Just then he heard the magic girl yell something about stealing money and facepalmed at his own ignorance. He forgot that other people would think they were stealing money instead of the locomotive. He flipped a switch and a loudspeaker appeared overhead while a microphone appeared in front of him. He pushed the button to talk and said, "We are not here to steal money, we are here for the locomotive and nothing else. Let us take it and we will leave in peace."

Caim, Angelus

It was nigh instantaneous on the reactions of both to attack their assailants, Angelus spewing fire from her mouth as Caim brought his blade in a sweeping arc to sever the bony hands from the limbs of the skeletons. However, unlike the dragoness, who found her way out; Caim was still slipping and falling to the skeletons about him. With a panicked look in his eye, Caim continued flailing as Angelus desperately tried to throw fire at the skeletons pulling him under.

"CAIM!"
"ANGELUS!"

Throwing caution to the wind, Angleus lit her hands aflame and dove back into the ongoing pile of skeletons, not caring so long as she could get her pact partner out of there alive. The moments that passed seemed to extend forever as the sand began covering their heads, making it harder and harder to breathe....

THUMP! The duo found themselves back on the ground of the room they thought they were going to die in. Looking around in surprise, the two found their gazes lock for a moment and quickly embraced in relief. A few moments passed as they stayed rooted to that spot, the comfort of the hug slowly taking the edge away from their near death experience moments ago.

As they adrenaline began to fade away, Angelus looked around in the dark, thankful that her senses were still sharper than a humans in this form; but decided that her human partner would benefit from some proper lighting. Setting a couple fireballs alight and letting them float in the air, in order for Caim's vision to be enhanced as well, Angelus searched the floor for any more pressure plates or sandy spots, lest they be downed again. She then motioned for Caim to follow after her steps, and tapped her forehead with a finger, "Let us stick to our pact voices for now. Who knows if there are sound based traps afoot..."

A curt nod was all she needed from Caim, and the two began further exploration of the room they landed in....

Devon, Cadolbolg

Cadolbolg listened intently to Devon's advice as they wandered to their destination in this place, and repeated a general idea of what he got out of the conversation, "So hang around friend Ton Ton more, and be myself; even if it's a bit different from what Mother and Father do? Well, I do understand that they are, Well, different in terms of how pact partners generally work, as far as I've learned. Their pact is far more... Ah, what was the word I heard... 'Intimate'! Yes, that one. It is something I am not supposed to be old enough to understand, I think. There are lots of those kinds of things...."

The turtle dragon seemed to slump at that phrasing, showing the common frustrations of a child. Wanting to learn so much, but being limited by age barriers placed. However, before this could be questioned further, the two came upon the mirror and it's riddle. However, before Cadolbolg could get a good look, Devon placed himself in the way; lest harm came to the baby turtle dragon.
