Up from the Dust: IC

Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to be a dick or anything, I just wanted to make sure everything was still going on and that people were still monitoring it. Now I know and I will wait with baited breath... ;)
 

OOC: Ok - the weekend did not turn out quite like I planned, but as promised, here is the post:

Airole cuts through the water like a fish and leaves a bubbling trail in her wake. She sees the surface just above her and he pulls hard, her lungs screaming for air. She reaches out and her fingertips just break the surface of the water.

Suddenly, something inexplicable happens...

The entire world is turned on its ear as the surface of the water bursts into shimmering light like the sun. Suddently, swimming is not so much of a problem as it seems that some cosmic plug has been pulled on this underwater maze. Hundreds of gallons of water gush outward of the portal that Airole just activated, sucking her and all of her companions along with her.

Coughing and sputtering, gasping for air, you look up and find yourselves in a dark cave. Your breath coalesces before your eyes and you feel the sting of bitterly cold winds and instantly begin shivering. Above your head, you see a large round cave that seems to extend directly upward into infinity. The edges of the hole in the ceiling still drip with water - already ice-cicles are forming.

It seems that all of your companions are nearby, but you do not see the imp. However, a large sheet of what appears to be solidified water is off to your right. The sheet is perfectly rectangular and its oddness holds your attention for a moment or two...

Until...

Someone behind you gasps. It is Airole and you can see that she has climbed up and over a rock ledge nearby and now stands looking at something which you cannot see right away. Scaling the ledge, you behold what caught her breath.

Roth ONLY: [sblock]As soon as you realize you are in the cave, again comes the tinny voice like before: [smallcaps]"...looks like a jump...can you confir***static***trying to lock it down! The signal is stra***static***"[/smallcaps].[/sblock]

Adauth ONLY: [sblock]As soon as you realize you are in the cave, again comes the tinny voice like before: [smallcaps]"...looks like a jump...can you confir***static***trying to lock it down! The signal is stra***static***"[/smallcaps].[/sblock]

Nebrios ONLY: [sblock]You suffered 32 points of damage from the creature's slams and 1 point of damage from the poke of a dagger. Also, as soon as the plug was pulled, you saw the creature quickly go ethereal.[/sblock]

Wato

As Airole gasps. Wato piches his belly button thinking on his warm clothes a splitt second later he climbs the rock ledge coming over on all 4, raising on his two feets and looks down.
His eyes wide open and with shivery teeth because of the low temperature “wwha-tt c-cou-ld thh-at b-b-b-e?” he says this just out in the freezing air not intended actually to be responded.

He starts going toward the strange building, almost like he was under the effects of a charm, with the hope of a fire and hot soup.

Wato's warm clothing appears upon his body, offering him some respite from the cold. However, now is once warm and dry clothes are wet from the water that was upon his body. Soon, he knows that he will again be freezing...
 

Larris Human Fighter

Larris stumbles over still disoriented from the sudden change and looks at the sight. He realizes that he is freezing and begins to strip off his sodden leather. He thinks of his navel and tries to produce his winter blanket.
 

Vargo (who never conjured his equipment in the first place) pulls himself upright, then shakes himself as dry as he can. He then pats himself down (once again as best he can) and squeezes as much water out of his hair as he can. Only then does he twiddle his belly button to summon his equipment.

(Assuming that time continues to pass without major events)

"Does anybody have any fuel? Some dead wood would be a great help over here!"

Knowing he will still be wet after this treatment, he pulls forth a tindertwig and a flask of lamp oil from his pack, finds a niche to pour the oil on, and lights it - a poor source of heat, but a start. He then pulls out his winter clothing and his blanket, dries himself with the blanket, then puts on his winter clothing.

The moment you think of it, it appears in your hand.
 

Now THIS is just like home, eh? Grundy nods to his companions who are still trying to recover from their plight. Grundy adjusts his greatsword and looks around at the people surrounding him.

Well, I don't know about you but I think we should make some sort of camp or head out to that small building over there and see who might be available to give us assistance. Seeing that this cold doesn't affect me, I will be more than happy to head out to do some scouting unless anyone has any objections?

Me go to boss! Valandra growls, glaring at Grundy...
