Further Down Carthum’s stone clatters against the wall beyond the pit, spreading light across all of the landing ahead, silencing the shadows of corners and bleeding into the area’s various exits. The pit in the centre of the ground appears to tunnel downwards at a slight angle, with the...

Interlude: Emma - Colors Combined Fifteen years ago - The Year of The Feather She was beautiful despite her misery, stood at the cliff’s dizzying summit with tears streaming down her face. One at a time like droplets of rain, they collided upon vertical black stone, on a long and dangerous...

Interlude: Lirrel - Early Cuts There was a light tapping at the base of the barn door. An energetic and rhythmic percussion that could only be his son. The boy had a predisposition to music, often conversing in song and converting whatever found objects and old farm tools he could get his hands...

Aletia: Dodging Arrows The young elf lightly took Bill's hand in hers and nodded. They had an understanding. Not a solid trust or friendship by any means, but they would find a way to ensure Jabbar's death was not in vain, nor Vallio's or a whole host of other victims. She knew deep down...

Annit: The Second Landing The young rogue took a few steps back from the door, sighing and clearly disappointed in her failure to wiggle the lock open. Shrugging, she decided to let the rest of the team determine its fate, either to let it be or take a more direct approach. So Dain wanted to...

Annit: Second Landing Annit caught Carthum’s gift of a jerky in one hand, smiling in thanks before nibbling on a corner. “Thank you, not bad if I say so myself. What is this flavored with? It's not a herb I'm used to.” The young rogue had spent most of her years in the township of Kalair, so...

Gonna miss you Hillsy7! Always enjoy your fine work. Hope you come back to us soon :D

Annit: Second Landing Annit loitered in the half-dark at the opposing door for a while, pressing an ear against it, detecting nothing save for a light draft through it's gap against the floor. There were no sounds of clanging metal or nashing teeth. All she heard was her colleagues in...

Second Landing Pushing through the smog, Dain’s torchlight surrounds the group in yellow swirling haze. The miner’s grease certainly has its own special aroma that lingers on the nose, but nobody chokes or gasps on the way down. Perhaps just the odd sneeze or wheezy breath. Reaching the next...

It began with smouldering, a bitter smell wafting up the steps whilst grey smog arose beneath the torch. Then it caught. First a small flame waltzed a few feet like a drunken miniature dancer, but with each flicker and turn it grew. Waves of bright glowing orange heat drifted outwards, sizzling...

Annit: A view from behind Annit stood to the back of the landing and considered Dain’s heavy words. He was probably right that if there were other things down below, they would know they weren’t alone soon enough. It was a worry, but she felt strangely comfortable in the presence of such an...

Further Down So that's how it is done... Annit grinned as Jeovanna's arrow was loosed. Down the steps, there was a definite sound of metal eating into metal. What a shot! She'd stuck the thing right in its helm, at which point the whole mass of plate seemed to crumble into nothing more than a...

Black on black <Round 4 Init 9 - Annit Init 7 - Jeovanna Init 5 - Otiroth Init 4 - Armor (-32 hp) Init 3 - Metea & Dain Init 1 - Carthum> Metea’s blast once again sparkles and snaps its energy against the oncoming threat. Perhaps there is some comfort now, in the mysterious armor looking very...

Coming up the steps Set off the trap on purpose? Annit quite liked the idea, the sneaky and curious part of her definitely didn’t object to this concept. “I don’t know!” She called back, “force to the plate near the hinges might do it!” A young woman’s arrows weren’t going to bust it open...

Coming up the steps - Round 3 <Round 3 Init 9 - Annit Init 7 - Jeovanna Init 5 - Otiroth Init 4 - Armor (-15 hp) Init 3 - Metea & Dain (Fully healed) Init 1 - Carthum> There was still no way the rogue girl was going to get a shot in, especially now the priest had moved in to touch the wounded...

Coming up the steps - Round 2 For the barbarian it sure wasn’t easy, stabbing at a foe who mostly isn’t there, with a ranger in front couching low on steps and making attacks. As Jeovanna pokes the blade forward she loses her grip, and the weighty greatsword slides off onto the step below...

Coming up the steps - Round 2 <Round 2 Init 9 - Annit Init 7 - Jeovanna Init 5 - Otiroth Init 4 - Armor (lost 15 hp) Init 3 - Metea & Dain Init 1 - Carthum> Annit looked on from above as fingers of crackling energy made the armor jiggle a bit, the energy definitely causing the foe’s metal to...

Coming up the steps Unfortunately, it seemed the ghostly armor either wasn’t listening to the warnings, or simply couldn’t speak on account of not having a “face”. It kept coming, clunking it's way up the steps through the additional illumination of Otiroth’s bolt of flame. Fingers of red...

Coming up the steps Dain’s torch flys and cuts an arc of light through the cool air, before landing and bouncing down several rungs of steps. The sounds of something metallic upon stone hastens greatly then, almost rhythmically tapping in increasing volume… towards you. A torch’s slow dancing...
