Ashy's Oathbound Campaign, IC [ARCHIVED]

[Vendetta]

Xerxes looks at the device skeptically. Sure, he can levitate things with his mind, including himself... but floating around solely based on physics and technology... man, that is just crazy. But, he smiles to the War Valco and with a short bow of respect, begins the process of selecting a glider.

"Perhaps a three person device would suit me better. Can one person not work the... uh... what ever it is that controls it, leaving me free to manifest my Psionic powers, should the need arise?" He asks after looking over one of the Guant wings.

As he looks over the 'gliders' a sense of awe comes over Julian. To be able to fly without the aid of magic...to see the world around as a bird..what better thing could there be? Of course a more logical sense also sees them falling from the sky uncontrollably...but whats the good of living without risk??

Me am walkin'. Says the Half-orc who turn's abruptly to walk back the way he came, shaking his head.

Tristan says nothing, and doesn't move, but his expression makes it clear that he is strongly in favor of joining Baja for this little expedition.

"It is best that we save as much time as possible, if this will shorten our travels, as we have no other way at the moment," she says casting a scolding glare to those who seem less inclined, "we will travel this way." Turning to Isror, she smiles warmly, "thank you for the gift. It will be used as best as it can." Turning her attention to Yarrish, she says, "as it seems these devices are in our best interest, it is best we know how they work and how to use them. If you could?"

 

[Ashy]

Yarish looks from Kiera to Baja and then back to Kiera. "So, who am I teaching?"

 

[Vendetta]

"All of us." Xerxes says, stepping forward and casting a warning look to Baja.

 

[deadestdai]

Not even trying to hide his scowl, Baja complies and does his best to learn about these new and none-to-safe looking wings.

 

[Ashy]

Yarish happily begins training everyone, in shifts of three, on the operation of the gauntgliders. You soon learn that piloting one of these strange craft is more intuition and the movement of one's body than anything else, and those skilled with their minds and hands soon get the hang of it. Further, the three-person versions use the same methods while allowing the two additional passengers freedom of movement of their hands (while inadvertentedly providing the needed additional ballast)...

While some of the others are taking their test flights, P.C. asks Kiera, "So, what are your plans, Kiera? Where are you heading?"

Isror, Yana, and Qty'tyl take off in their own gauntgliders and after showing some of Yarish's lessons in practice, depart on scouting missions of their own.

The day is spent, amid the various discussions, learning how to fly these new, unusual craft (which don't seem nearly as unstable as they appear) and drinking copious amounts of water, as the twin suns of the Forge beat unmercificily down upon you. At the end of the day, Yarish calls for a halt to the practice for the day... He is a bit worried, as the others should have returned before now.

OOC: Please let me know if there is anything that you need to do today in addition to learning to pilot the gauntgliders. Kiera, please respond to the question above...

In the spare time of the evening, Baja checks over the groups supplies. making sure that nothing is going bad (Lizard snacks) and asking their new friends if they can help to replace anything that they may need, including fluids.
