[QUOTE="theredrobedwizard, post: 3207459, member: 21340"] [b]Chapter 1.0: The Preluding[/b] "I've almost got it," Mika said as she tried dilligently to pick the lock impeeding the group's progress, "just a few more seconds." "We don't have a few more seconds," Jaysen bellowed out, moving between Mika and the fullisade of arrows heading in her direction, "if you don't get that khyberspawned lock open we'll all be skewered by those natives over there." "The prefered term is 'Umbragen', Jaysen," Joi said calmly as she jotted down notes about the natives peculiar tattoos. "Well, I don't much care what they call themselves," the young knight retorted, "I call 'em an excuse to exercise my running-away training." "Jaysen," came a shout from the fray, "get up here and introduce these natives to the kill-y end of your sword." "I can't be in two places at once, Myk, and your sister needs protecting," Jaysen replied mockingly. "Go to him," said what looked like one of the Umbragen helping Mika with the door, "we can handle things here." "Dammit, Taelor, stop lookin' like them natives; you're creeping me out," Jaysen said as he charged headlong into the lines of battle. "Why is it that every time I think we're making progress, you boys have to go and screw everything up," the group's healer spouted off from behind her tower shield. "Well, we are exploring forbidden Umbragen holy sites, looking for lost artifacts of the Age of Giants," Joi calmly explained, "which is a crime with a penalty of death in most Umbragen societies." "And you didn't think of mentioning this before," Mika exclaimed as the lock finally fell from the door, "Come on, we're in." The group's two warriors broke from their melee and charged towards the now open door. The rest of the group was already waiting inside. As Jaysen and Mykel crossed the threshold, Taelor slammed the door shut and clipped one of his locks onto the portal. "Just what *are* we in, anyway," Mykel asked. "The Tomb of the last Giant King, Rugethnir," Joi answered. "Why do I get the feeling that things just got worse," Mika quipped as she started searching the path ahead for any suprises. ---------- -TRRW [/QUOTE]
