D1: Ashin's Commission (El Jefe judging)

[Rystil Arden]

"We concur. Several hordes of weaklings and a spectral shade from beyond the void are enough for one day. The ingrateful Bainlunders do not even deserve what they have gotten so far, so they have no room to complain if we take another day. The only possible issue is the timing on our original commission from Ashin. Was it not said to be a bit time-sensitive? We would hate to see a whole city of people who asked politely for our help destroyed because we spent so much time helping ingrateful racists."

"Hwhrrr..." Michael mumbles through cold stiffened lips and his helm.
He might be nodding in agreement. Or his head might be flopping around. It's a little hard to tell.

(OOC: Of course, in the land of metagame, it would suck if the shadow was the final encounter and the next room was just the treasure, but Zaeryl doesn't live in that land )

"Hopefully, our friends strength will be restored with a little rest and perhaps a few prayers." Ironwolf says, looking Michael over with concern. "I don't think the time situation is so desperate that we should press on with Michael in this state... and I'm not 100% sure that this place doesn't have something to do with our original mission. It certainly seems this place is one source of darkness infecting the land, anyway, and it's hard to say how far its influence might spread."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Very well. As long as we do not lose sight of our earlier goals, we do not care. We are perfectly happy to drain the power from the essence of any menace that crosses our path."

"Um, I hate to intrude, but if we are leaving, could someone help me get back across this pit?" asks Eternity as she releases her hold on the energy she had been channeling from deep inside. She looks across the pit and wishes that she hadn't been the first to jump.

 

[Patlin]

"Now that the shadow is dead and can't distract you, it should be a pretty easy jump. If you don't think you can make it, though, we can look around for things to dump into the pit in order to fill it up."

 

[B4cchus]

"i'll throw you a rope so you won't fall all the way down if youmiss the jump. I think we can take a short peek in here tomorrow before we move on."

Muffled Plosives...

Michael makes a strange noise under his helm.

"Ikes."
"Ikes."

He teeters about in a vaguely agitated manner.

 

[Patlin]

"Michael says to be carefull of the spikes!" Ironwolf calls back.
