[Epic] Scions of the Endless Falls

[Kelleris]

Anyone who is listening closely to him can hear Arion introduce a few new names into his little rhymes, which have grown steadily more abstract as his mind works (though no less funny for all that): Taos Rez, Whogle, Aevai, and something that sounds like a prolonged hiss.

He continues to think, mind working as quickly and intricately as the whirl of colored spheres he continues to keep aloft.

 

[TheOneAboveAll]

“I can think of four reasons we are still alive: 1. Those that have destroyed our world have exhausted themselves and are waiting to recover. 2. They don’t know we survived. 3. They don’t care that we survived or 4. They are doing something more important than destroying us.

I don’t think we can afford any undo attention at the moment. I think we have a lot of information we need to gather including the relative strength of the gods who destroyed our world, who they are and any weakness we might exploit.

"If you find those reasons to be true then swift action is best. We should act before any of those situations change. Asmfar as undue attention is concerned we will bring attention to ourselves. That is a matter of fact. I wish to be proactive and not reactive, with beings of such power that may be a mistake."

[/QUOTE]The Gods, be they puppet or free willed beings will not take it lightly if we begin to mess with them. I think we need to stay away from anything divine at the moment, while we try and figure out what is happening.[/color][/QUOTE]

*Solarion chaffed at this. He could not understand how these beings of power could believe the gods were mere puppets in anything. He himself as a being of great power serves a god by his own choice because he sees the power inherent in such beings.*

[/color][/QUOTE]Leaving us with a handful of options:

Sigil, the planar crossroads will undoubtedly have answers, but acquiring them will require skill and knowledge. It is also a place most likely to carry rumor of our existence back to ears we would rather not hear of it.

The Fiends, some fiends have their ear to the ground and an act of this monumental evil will surely have drawn their attention. But we all know the dangers of dealing with fiends, and I would prefer some other course of action, because outsmarting fiends is a risky proposition.[/color][/QUOTE]

"I will not make any entreaties with those of the lower planes. Such foul creatures could not be trusted anyway."

The Celestials…With all respect to Solarian, I would prefer to leave the Archons out of this for the time being, as there is an off chance this was “meant to be” and the Archons may not aid us or possibly hinder us for some larger goal. I think our best bet is to ask for assistance from the Court of Stars.”[/QUOTE]

"In this I feel you may be right."

 

[Wrahn]

"If answers can be found here, then I think Solarian, you are correct, swift action is the best."

*Rahveon begins walking toward the cave.*

"If answers can be found here, then I think Solarian, you are correct, swift action is the best."

*Rahveon begins walking toward the cave.*

*Solarion followed him to the cave. He was glad someone here agreed with him on something at least.*

 

[perivas]

The dryad smiles as her suggestion becomes the source of action. "Come, Loudbark, let us see what Devom had planned." With that, she is lifted onto Loudbark's shoulder and they march behind the anthromorphic elephant/half-dragon warrior and the celestial.

 

[Kelleris]

In a blur of motion, the show is over, and Arion stands up. He moves wordlessly to follow the others, expecting hollyphants in his future.

 

[Ferrix]

Sigrún runs a hand through his hair, seemingly shaking out some thought in his head, and then follows the others, curious as to what they have in mind might be within this cave.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Walking to the minature mountain, you all walk inside the grand cave. Within a dozen steps it is as dark as any cave miles from the surface (though some can still see clearly). It is truly the mother of all caves, the walls covered with waterfalls of rock, and a great staircase of calcite leading up to a strange glow. As you draw closer, you can see the glow is coming from a pool made of shiny black stone, like obsidian. The obsidian has small cracks in it, which are glowing with white light, and leaking a shimmer substance the consistancy of mud into the glowing pool.*

 

[Kelleris]

Blinking at the sudden darkness, Arion focuses for a moment and whispers the word "ranwai". A pearly mist, glowing with a peaceful inner light, rises around his feet, sending tendrils of subdues brightness wherever Arion turns his gaze.

He waits for a reaction from the others. When dealing with mysterious glowing lights, it is best to let others do something first.

 

[perivas]

OOC: "All enter?" This must be a huge cave if Loudbark can fit inside!

The darkness makes the dryad a bit uncomfortable. Rather than a compliant, she invokes a dweomer enchanting one of her bags on her belt, which immediately begins to glow, illuminate, then shine as bright as daylight.

Seeing the glowing pools as a potential sign of the divine, Caira does not wish to appear rude. So, she lets out a respectable and moderately volumed cry, "Disciple of Devom!"[/olive]
