[QUOTE="talien, post: 2379784, member: 3285"] [b]The Children of Leviathan - Part 8e: The Caves[/b] “I have the key,” said Bijoux, dangling the gold ring from one of her claws. “Perhaps we should leave?” Vlad pointed to Kham. “Cal, get Kham. Let’s hope that portal leads to somewhere safe.” “No!” shouted Kham as Cal picked him up like a rag doll and strapped him onto his back. “We can’t leave the cannon!” “There’s no way we can carry it,” said Vlad as a volley of spears pierced several crates near his head. “You’re right,” said Kham slowly. “We can’t carry it.” Vlad and Kham shared a knowing nod. Kham encompassed the other crates and barrels in the room. “See all this? It’s ammunition and blackpowder to fire this cannon. Grab a barrel.” Bijoux peeked into the small cave. At the rear of the cave was a circular stone arch one and a half spear lengths high made of greenstone. It was carved with disturbing and lurid aquatic motifs. “I’m not sure where to put the key,” said Bijoux. Ilmarė shook her head. She fired two arrows and two more cultists dropped. “Me neither. Stick it into something that looks like a keyhole and twist.” Vlad grabbed a barrel of blackpowder and uncorked it. Black, fine grains trailed behind him. “Now what,” shouted Vlad as he ran over to Kham and Cal. “Run,” said Kham. Cal started to take a step towards the portal. “Not us. Not yet.” Bijoux wrinkled her nose at the portal. She stuck it into somewhere into the carvings and turned. The portal began to pulse with a sickly green aura. “Yuck,” she said. The hail of spears stopped as cultists swarmed over the crates, closing in on the small cavern entrance. Vlad barreled past Bijoux, trailing blackpowder, and disappeared with a FWHIP! in a green flash. “Time to go!” shouted Ilmarė. She dove through the portal and flashed out of existence. Bijoux gave one worried glance over her shoulder at Cal and Kham, then dove through the portal herself. “Now Cal! Run!” shouted Kham. Cal pounded towards the portal, Kham facing the other way in his truss. One of the cultists stepped through the entranceway, spear raised. Kham tossed a match onto the blackpowder trail. A sparking path sizzled its way from the gate, between the cultist’s legs, out from the cave entrance… The cultist looked down at the fiery trail and then behind him. “The Altherian government sends its regards,” said Kham as Cal hurled them both through the portal.
