The Wayfinders - The Wreck of the Archon

Shayuri · Nov 30, 2012

Whisper spies Kraken's wave and nods to Midian.

"I feel like we're missing something, but you're right...if we haven't seen it yet, we probably aren't going to. Lets get back. Kraken's flagging us down anyway..."

She vaulted off the top of a shelving unit and glided down to where Kraken and Doral waited.

"We didn't see anything obviously dangerous, but there is a way through. What did you find?"

"There's something in here that's carried a crewmember in there," says Kraken, pointing to the small hole in the wall. "It's probably not worth worrying about, but we should be careful - there's something small but unpleasant in here with us, eh? What's you see from above?"

Midian Rightson, human druid

A brief swirling about Midian's foggy shoulders suggests a shrug.

"The ... whatever they are's seem cagey. We didn't catch sight of any directly. We do have the layout of the room, now, so if we want to get out of here," his cloudy eyes dart another glance at the blood trail, "at least we don't have to wander blind."

"Shall we press onwards? I see nothing that indicates we are heading towards our goal." Doral announces.

Dr Simon · Dec 12, 2012

"I don't see much point in poking about in there, eh?" says Kraken, pointing to the hole with the tip of his falchion. "Show us this way onwards, but everyone keep an eye out for freaky possums."

Shayuri · Dec 12, 2012

"Follow me," Whisper instructs, and leaps forward to land on the next row of shelves over...flapping her wings to carry her across and keep her balance once perched. "Midian and I can lead you through."

Midian Rightson, human druid

"If they're inclined to leave us alone, I say we do the same," Midian agrees with the others. A section of swirling mist rises from his form and points. "Between those crates was the path to the other exit," he says.

The group begins to thread its way through the maze of stacked and toppled crates. Whisper and Midian course along above you while Kraken and Doral wind their way through the stacks at the rear. You are nearly at the end when Whisper stops up short and frantically motions for you to halt. Ahead of the group on the ground, the crates curve around a corner. Something must be on the far side.

Whisper, Midian
From the air you see low shapes milling about in the aisle up ahead. They look like big rats, about the size of a raccoon. Each one is horribly deformed. Some have extra eyes, noses, or entire heads. You see long gangly front arms, muscular hind legs like rabbits, and scaled tails on others. As you watch more of them creep out from behind boxes. They continue to crawl over and around each other for a few moments but then something strange happens. Their tiny ears perk, their heads lift, and their noses point in the direction of your earth-bound party. They spread out in an evenly spaced formation and begin to creep down the aisle sniffing and squeaking to each other.

Midiian Rightson, human druid

Midian suppresses a vocal response to the gathering. One of the dark recesses in his fog 'face' expands: the elemental equivalent of a raised eyebrow. Trailing vapor curls to point to his ears and down to the others as he looks to Whisper. He has no way to send them a quiet message that might not draw the rat-things' attention, but he recalled Whisper making use of such measures so that they might comisserate without drawing too much attention during Professor Gallaway's droning lectures in Basics of Transmography back in the day.

Meanwhile, finally having a good look at the creatures, Midian tries to apply his knowledge of nature to figure out if he can discern what these atrocities might be, and might respond to. Perhaps a conjured geyser would send them scattering...

Kraken grunts and readies his falchion.

"Figured they might try to track us," he says, with a sideways glance at Doral. "Let's teach them that humans aren't for eating."
