Aloft: Castle in the Sky - Riakla: Discussion Forum - Larlak Residential RosterIn a world covered by endless jungle; one city rose above the rest.No, literally, it floats. In the sky. What do you mean it can't be true!? Where do you think we are, on the surface? No, we're in that city, right now! ... Ah whatever, just let me tell the story, or is that too much to ask!? ... Okay fine, you narrate then, I've had it. I'm tired of being criticized so much!...A world, surrounded by jungles consisting of trees, rocks and vines. Ancient cities, ruined due to the test of time. Former Glatorian and Agori, reduced to nothing but beasts. Giant biomechanical dinosaurs that wish nothing more than to eat you. Oh, and the warmechs, can't forget the warmechs. This is the Surface; the name given to the wide-reaching area of the world that has trees spreading as far as the eye can see. Sure, there is a lake; if you can even call it that; and some streams, but really, trust me, the majority is jungle.However; the surface is too dangerous for the ordinary citizens. Therefore, travel to the surface is a heavily bureaucratic decision. Red tape and all. How do we survive, then, if we can't travel to the surface? This is our city; the city in the sky. There are many names for the city, given by those pesky Vorox who try to eat us when we go to the surface, and by the beasts, but everyone who knows of our existence, knows us as the City in the Sky.Long ago, the world was struck by a rather large, and rather powerful earthquake. The Great Beings had no idea what to do, so they therefore created this city, and floated it into the sky. However, all the cities on the surface were lost, destroyed by neglect and the earthquake. It is said that this world; known now as 'Bota Magna' was once more diverse than trees, trees, and more trees. However, I'm not entirely certain if I believe that. However, these ruined cities; they have ancient technology inside them, said to be designed by the Great Beings themselves. Not many people know of the contents of these ruins, however, as they are said to be guarded by giant constructs; and few people return from an encounter with them... And the people who do; are too scared to say much of anything, or die shortly afterward from wounds obtained in a fight.We still attempt to gather ancient relics from these ruins, however. But, not everyone agrees, which leads to large shouting matches eventually; and that's not even getting into the Air Pirates. You know, thinking now, it might actually, in a way, be just as dangerous here in the air, as it is on the ground.There's more to this story, but we should probably end it here, the elders are getting slightly annoyed at us for spreading this knowledge... Try to help spread the word, though. Let the rise of the Machines happen again.aloft.jpegAfter the Shattering caused Spherus Magna to split into three separate worlds, a city was built on Bota Magna, and then lifted into the sky. All the cities present on Bota Magna eventually crumbled, either due to the Core War, or general disuse. This RPG takes place at around the same time as the Great Cataclysm in the Matoran Universe, and the central point is the floating city a mille above the trees, which is a gigantic city which is split into seven sectors, the middle one containing the titular Castle In The Sky. The Surface is littered with both ruins of ancient cities, and outposts made by either the Intelligent Vorox, or the Bestial Glatorian/Agori, who didn't make it to the City in the Sky.The Great Beings are said to have built both the City in the Sky, and some of the ruined cities, or at least the technology in the Ruins. It is said that the Great Beings walked the world of Bota Magna as well, even after the Shattering, though actual proof of that has never been found.The main draw to this RPG, would be exploring massive ruins, and fighting giant constructs, bio-mechanical dinosaurs, and the Intelligent Vorox, among other potential threats.GeographyThe entire planet is covered in mostly jungles, but there are some points where this is otherwise. There are a few mountain ranges, and these are noted on the map, along with a massive lake (now the largest standing body of water, and the size of many saltwater seas). The central region of this section of the planet is a dune covered desert stretching over some fifty thousand square mile, and surrounded by a ring of mountains. Other than that, it's just rivers and jungle.Ruins of Bota-MagnaMap of SurfaceThe ruins were once major cities spread across the landscape during the reign of the Great Beings. The foundations were crafted in the ancient past, when the Great Beings directly involved themselves with the planets people, before growing more reclusive and entering isolation. Many of these cities were destroyed during the Core War, the Shattering, or a combination of both. Whatever the case, they are mostly unfit for civilization, and most are far too large for the entire population of the Castle in the Sky.Each ruined city shares a number of characteristics - a coat of arms used to display a creature held special by that group, and a colossal creature of enchanted stone and ancient technology that wanders through the ruins or surrounding area; some peaceful, other seeking to destroy intrusions. From descriptions given, they are best described as being based off of the cities own coat of arms. They are highly dangerous according to all who have fought them, even those who were seemingly no larger than the wildlife.(Note - The buildings in these cities are massive, with twisting stairways leading to isolated, apartment sized rooms. Some major structures could hide an army behind them, and hold a couple of them within. The area the cities cover averages at about 1000 square miles each; still but a fraction of a percent of the forests total coverage!)Voruntund is a southeastern island, lying on the opposite side of Lake Vorunt from its sister city Voruntand. The city is composed mostly of domed buildings, as many that were once controlled by the Water Tribe are, and is present in some of the buildings on the City in the Sky, to match tradition. The symbol was the Gryphon, a Great Being created hybrid of a Bearded Jungle Howler and a Silver Forest Eagle. It likely once housed around forty thousand beings.Iztriliador is located in the southern areas of the known regions, and is mostly composed of towering boxy, stone buildings covered in stone and hanging moss. The city is incredibly small as far as the old ruins go, and may have only a couple dozen thousand. It was a home to the Iron Tribe. Its symbol is an enigma, appearing only as a red eye with a black pupil; a colossus has never been spotted here. The symbol is odd in a different way, as it appears on the walls and doorways of the ruins, which seem to have maze-like patterns to them.Ohmvold is located in the central-northwest and was another apparently small city, likely having only thirty thousand at a maximum. The entire city is surrounded by a huge, circular wall, and a massive keep dominates over it. The building are a hodgepodge of shapes. The symbol was the Rock Rat, a small creature able to gnaw through solid rock. It is believed to have been a city of the Fire Tribe that was the destroyed towards the beginning of the Core War. The interiors are lined with torches, which are oddly still lit; it is said that they were enchanted by the Great Beings themselves.Voruntand lies opposite of Voruntund along the shores of Lake Vorunt. Its structures are designed the same way as those in Voruntand, though much more plentiful, and with the presence of a trio of intimidating triangular pyramids with their top points removed. The symbol was that of the Talon Snake. This massive Water tribe city was a major one during its existence, and likely housed over ninety thousand inhabitants at one point. Inside the ruins, at least one segment seems to flood at one point, seemingly, though the technology there appears to still work.High Fane was a great temple dedicated to the ancient gods that the Agori worshiped before the coming of the Great Beings. The temple was abandoned prior to the Core Wars beginnings, and a great wall was constructed around it to prevent entry. There are numerous buildings surrounding it, in a variety of shapes - unlike those in Ohmvold, though, they follow a pattern in location, suggesting that all tribes once came here. The exact details of this cities symbol are unknown. It likely housed some fifty thousand inhabitants. The interior of High Fane has been theorized to be constructed out of sandstone, or a similar material.Pheosus was a city crafted by the Skrall and the Rock Tribe of Agori who served them. It is composed mostly of great towers, though many now are spread out across the ground rather than still standing. Its symbol was the Tusked Jungle Howler, a great cat with two large horns on its face. It likely housed some forty thousand inhabitants. There are many spikes lining this city, as well as the interiors of the buildings.Narcesti was another Rock Tribe city, with the same basic structures of its Pheosus. A notable difference is that the towers were made shorter, and connected by massive bridges that formed an intricate cobweb leading to the central tower, which had no surface entrance. The whole design suggests some sort of military defensive purpose, forcing enemy armies to clamber towards the top through thousands of Skrall warriors in close combat. The symbol was the Green Razorclaw, one of the smaller biomechanical dinosaurs crafted by the Great Beings with a clawed foot and a vicious appetite. Currently, most of the bridges have decayed and the towers fallen, making the central tower nearly inaccessible (nearly). It appears as if there is also some sort of anti-technology field or something surrounding the tower, as any airships that try to approach crash shortly afterward, with the survivors claiming odd things started to happen.Quetzilidriat was a city of the Jungle Tribe, and is found in the far northeastern reaches of charted Bota Magna areas. It was a small city, housing only thirty thousand or so inhabitants, and had the symbol of a Red Jungle Hawk, a massive bird of prey found in the forests. The cities structures are mostly large arches and bridges connecting to tower, similar to Narcesti, though with the incorporation of the surrounding jungle. This makes it a very odd place to navigate. The city is split in two halves, each on opposite sides of the river. Vines surround the majority of the objects in here, with moss growing on some things too; it's hard to tell if this is from neglect, or by design.Resedomanadia is the oldest city on Bota Magna. Its name translates to 'resting place of the dominator'. The structures here are varied and generally small in comparison to the rest of the planets constructions - they are much older than the others on the planet by at least fifty to sixty thousand years, including the High Fane. In that ancient past it was the capital of all of Spherus Magna; now, it is mostly claimed by the forests. Due to the terrible damage it has sustained, it is impossible to say how many may have resided here; likely, it was some seventy thousand beings. It is said that the central building contains the tomb of the cruel warlord who ruled here. The symbol is believed to be a Jungle Bat. It is unknown what is truly here, if anything; or if anything is even intact.Vizarana was known as the City of Blades, and is the most structurally secure city on the planet. Rather than an animal, the Rock Tribe inhabitants of the city (who use the same structures described in Pheosus) used the sword as their coat of arms; the bladesman their symbol of power. The city likely only held some forty thousand inhabitants. The interior is one of the oddest after Iztriliador; as the interior looks like it was just built a year ago, if that, even though it was obviously built way before the Shattering.Dragon's Fire Tower is the second tallest structure on the planet, a single tower in the midst of the last desert on the planet. It rises close to 2500 feet into the sky, and has a square base of nearly twenty square miles on its own. Some thirty thousand inhabitants may have lived in the tower, which bore the symbol of the Fire Dragon, a magnificent species of beasts that once resided in the Bara Magna region of the original, unbroken, planet. It is said that this tower has the potential to reach to another world.Unbroken Citadel was a city of the Iron Tribe, having the same structural designs as Iztriliador. Unlike the rest of the Tribe, the loss of Dreams never occurred to the people of the Unbroken Citadel, and they lasted into the Core War. When the War began, the inhabitants fled to the massive citadel in the center of the city and sealed themselves in behind its indestructible walls. When the Rock Tribe reached towards the end of the war, their entire army could find no way to break through the defenses. So instead, the Elemental Lord of Rock added to them, and sealed the defenses so its inhabitants could never leave. The Citadel remains unbroken even today, much like its coat of arms, the Vorunt Battle Tortoise. It is also likely filled with dead Iron Agori. In its heyday, the city housed some hundred thousand inhabitants, and was a major city. It is unknown what the interior looks like, but it is suggested that whatever it is, is shiny.Apprenshian can be found along the banks of the rivers to the north, and bears the coat of arms of the Plated Crab. It was home to some forty thousand inhabitants of the Water Tribe at the peak of its existence, and has the same design features as other Water Tribe cities. The inhabitants were said to be rather eccentric, as it is implied that Arkara was a descendant of the Water Tribe members who lived here.Jagged City, formerly a major city of the Rock Tribe, is found in the rocky wasteland surrounding the western mountains. It is surrounded by imposing walls, and within these walls rise numerous spiked towers which give the city its name. Some of the towers are still intact, though the Shattering destroyed some of them. Below the towers are many square buildings using a hybrid of Rock and Iron Tribe designs. The coat of arms is the Jungle Lurker, a six-legged spider with a small body and huge, long legs. If the name and outward appearances didn't already give it away, the interior walls look almost like they were broken, as there are jagged edges everywhere, and what appear to be cracks; however, this is simply the design.Babeldoran was the largest structure ever crafted, asides from the robotic forms of the Prototype Robot and Mata-Nui. It rises close to 4000 feet in the air, and is divided into two parts. At the base is a massive structure with a twelve mile diameter rising some 1000 feet, at which point the tower begins in the center with about half the width. Unfortunately, unlike Dragons Fire, this tower was unable to stand the shattering, and collapsed to the ground, shattering across the desert sands. The structure housed some fifty thousand inhabitants initially, and bore the coat of arms as the King Desert Longwing, a dragonfly like creature on Bara Magna noted for the spiky 'crown' on its head. It is said if you head to the very top of the non-collapsed portion of the tower, you can see what appears to be blue colouring all the time, even if the sun's setting and the sky should be red. It is said that this is a glimpse of another world.City in the SkyThe City in the Sky is a very large location, being essentially 7 cities, but connected together by integral bridges and steel beams, and other similar constructs. It has some natural components, likely added in by the creators of the city, however, most of it is rock or iron based.The actual city is allowed to stay in the air, due to an anti-gravity system, which is rather advanced for anyone to create; however, it is present. This anti-gravity system is present on the underside of each section of the City, however, the generator for it, is present inside the Castle in the middle of the floating island. This is powered by an energy source found in and around the ruins, and appears to also somehow be present in the Biomechanical Dinosaurs, which adds a subliminal reason for the Rite of Passage ceremony.Sector 1 - DwinheimDwinheim is where the citizens of the City go to practice sky diving, for the most part. Along with trained birds being present, Glatorian and Agori can also practice sky diving with bird-like machines, which are also used for travel to the Surface. In addition to that, this acts as a dock for the airships that are used to get around the city, and travel to the Surface. Dwinheim is more or less unoccupied, aside from a building or two that function as an inn, and a shop to get different things.Sector 2 - YksfoltYksfolt is the market centre of the City, more or less; they have elabourate buildings designed to get your attention, as they attempt to peddle off good that may or may not be usable and needed for either day-today living, or travel to the Surface. With the Rite of Passage ceremony season starting up again, people are much more willing to try and pawn off items that are actually useless for travel to the surface, so remember to be careful.Sector 3 - DrileivDrileiv is the education district; where the citizens go to learn different things, such as swordplay, or just generally things about the world and it's history and such. There is a dojo for the aforementioned swordplay lessons, and also a shooting range for practicing with a bow.Sector 4 - GnylonGnylon is the manufacturing sector; this is where the materials for use are made. Mostly it's just processing shops and such, but the Glatorian and Agori who work here, make the materials for later refinement. This is more of a natural area, compared to other places.Sector 5 - RiaklaRiakla is the entertainment district; where Agori perform music, or the Glatorian battle each other in arenas to please crowds and such. For those interested in the entertainment provided, this sector never really stops.Sector 6 - Larlakis the housing section of the City; where the majority of the citizens sleep. This is typically known as the residential area, though, of course, that is not it's true name.Sector 7 - The CastleThe Castle is where the Council of Elders meet, and due to that, and the fact that the generator for the entire city's anti-gravity systems is right underneath the Castle, very few people are allowed inside the Castle, or even near the sector itself. The castle has a circular design, and the outside is covered with patterns of gears, that move. It is theorized that these are, in fact, actual gears necessary for the Castle's correct operation, however, that has not been confirmed.Ruins, Monsters, and YouAs has been said before, you can explore ruins in this RPG. Aside from the typical dangers associated with dungeon crawling and ruin excavating, please keep these dangers in mind, handily written by one of your fellow dungeon crawlers:1. There are many large 'constructs' across the surface of Bota Magna. Typically there's only one per ruin... However, there could always be exceptions to that rule, so be cautious, otherwise, you might end up as part of the ruin's victims. We keep a list, you see. Thanks for the idea, Arkara.2. Vorox. Before, they were all peaceful. Or, at least, more peaceful than now. However, they got this odd notion that the entirety of Bota Magna belonged to them. Good going Arkara. So, now, they try and kill anyone who steps on their territory. Hence, they'll try and kill us the moment we travel to the surface, provided they know we're around. Therefore, at least make an attempt to not attract the attention of the Vorox. Otherwise, unless you're traveling alone, or killing a Vorox clan member is a task assigned to you, you're more likely to have one of your teammates kill you than one of the Vorox; out of frustration.3. Bio-mechanical dinosaurs. I have NO clue who thought having those around was a good idea, but I think it was partly Arkara's idea. So, yeah, big, scary, liable to eat you rather than look at you. Recommended course of action, stay away from at all times.4. Warmechs. Oh the Warmechs. Yeah, we managed to at least convert two of them to be on our side... But that left about 100 or 200, if not more, still on the Surface, ready to kill everyone in sight. ... And it even took a good number of our group to convert one of them. Nice work in causing them to target us, Arkara. Yeah, if you see one, run as fast as you can. If you're lucky, you'll get incinerated by the ultimate attack it has before it has a chance to try and torture you with those beam thingies it uses.On that note, there are indeed other things aside from those; normal creatures that were native to the Jungle have decided to move into the ruins, so your opponents aren't merely the overpowered things that lurk around down on the Surface, you get to deal with their cousins too.However, all hope is not lost! Occasionally, and I mean occasionally, you might discover a handy capsule labeled 'genetic experimentation: keep away'. If you ignore the warnings on that, you might just have a chance of gaining experimental powers, that, while not all that powerful, might still make a difference in the fights. While raiding these ruins, of course, you might run into some technology no-one has ever seen before. While this has a restriction of one per player genetic group(whatever that means), it is still usable, and is likely a good choice to fight with. However, these are also very rare, even rarer than the poiso- err, genetic material... Yes, genetic material, that's what I meant, why would I mean anything else? ... Right. The tech is rare, and you might not actually find anything; but if you find a second piece of tech, and you're the only one around, you can always hold onto it, and give it to someone else later. You just can't use them both at the same time, as advanced technology attracts the constructs, which is just as bad as it sounds.FactionsRemember how the Pirates and disagreements were mentioned earlier? Well, this is pretty much the detailed info on that... Also, there may be other factions present, including personally created ones, however, that only happens with staff approval, and of course, players can be Neutral to all factions.The FaithfulThe Faithful are a group who are dedicated to the Great Beings; they hold them in high regard for apparently creating the City in the Clouds, and helping with the technology that is used in the City. However, they do not agree with the Machine's motives, in effectively raiding what they perceive to be the Great Beings' old homes on the surface, just to find new technology. They go along with some raids, however, if only to gain more info on the Great Beings, and to keep the City, well, in the sky.The MachineThe Machine is the name of a group who care more about technology and machines, than anything or anyone else. They highly disagree with the mantra of the Faithful, at times calling them ancient relics themselves, for holding onto old beliefs which they consider to be worthless. They wish to excavate advanced machinery from the ruins, to expand the City, and make it entirely mechanical, caring more about the machinery in the City than the nature present on it.The Air PiratesThe Air Pirates are a group of raiders and thieves, who typically attempt to attack airships headed to the surface, however, they are also somewhat present on the City in the Sky, however, they are more subtle there. They are more or less made up of Skrall and Bone Hunters, who have left the City in the Sky willingly; however, there are other members as well, who might not have left the City, or might not even be Skrall or Bone Hunters.Rules1. IC and OOC are required, except in the discussion and profile topics. Please keep all OOC-only discussion to the discussion topic, if at all possible.2. Obey all rules of the site; which should go without saying.3. No killing other PCs without permission. That said...4. If you get into an impossible situation, then chances are, you're going to die. Not saying you can't try to survive, and I'll admit your chances of survival increase if you're in a group, but... If you're stuck, trapped in the air, and are currently flying toward a biomechanical dinosaur's mouth with the only airship that knows you're in trouble crashed nearby, then chances are you'll need to make a new character. It's unfortunate, but that's all you can do, because...5. There is to be no god-mode inducing here. Do not slice a tower-sized construct in half, in one strike, by yourself, facing it head on, without getting a scratch. It's just not cool. And if you manage to somehow miraculously get elemental powers, don't abuse those either.6. There is a limit of 5 characters for now, that might increase at a later date, however.PunishmentsThis is what happens if you ignore the above.1. You get a PM warning, telling you to stop that.2. You get a public warning, reminding you not to do that, and your character has an unfortunate event occur.3. Why did you keep ignoring things? Your character's dead, make a new one, and keep the rules in mind.4. Your character's removed, and you're not getting the slot back. Last chance, too.5. Well, hope you had a nice time in the RPG, because you're outta here... =/Profile SheetThis is a requirement for joining the RPG; if you don't fill this in, well, you can't play.

IC: Okavaung: Dragon's Fire Tower:Okavaung flew in circles, slowly ascending to the top of the tower with powerful flaps of his great wings. He would approach his master, Aclaraung, and ask his opinion on what their strategy should be. For the time was approaching that the Sohllikan would rise.

IC: Cerzei:The Skrall looked through her binoculars, eyeing the dragon being that flew into the ruin- coincidentaly Dragon's Fire. She had taken upon the mission alone, confident on her unique psionic skills to save herself if approached by the beast. She walked towards the menacing entrance to the massive tower. The rumors of what technology inspired her to go, along with the possibility of observing the resurgence of the possible Fire Dragons. She kept her staff at the ready, hoping the dragon she saw would not see her.

OOC: Anyone need a mail delivery? XDIC: DremOver the city he glided, swooping low whenever there was something he wanted to get a closer glimpse at. But that wasn't the only reason for his flight, he had an important message to deliver, or one he suspected that it was important. But it didn't mean he couldn't stop and take in the city. No matter how many times he traveled across it, it was always just as remarkable. And that last dive had him flying just a little too low for comfort, meaning that it was possible he could land.With a tightening of his grip on the handle, he began pedaling the back mechanism, turning the wooden fan quickly enough to give his flight a lift, pushing him back up into the air. Now, he really needed to focus upon his work. And not the... He began to swoop down once more, to check out another interesting sight he had likely seen hundreds of times before.

IC:To Hubertus, it had seemed as if the world had exploded, and the Glatorian was promptly thrown the ground, ears ringing from the sound of the explosion. He groaned in pain as he looked around, and sighed at the sight of Ignatius barely holding onto the edge of the airship."What did you do this time?" he asked."I was testing out my Thornax shooting skills."The Iron Tribe Glatorian facepalmed in exasperation."You can't shoot.""Exactly. That's why I missed, hit one of those volatile things nearby, and I got knocked off. Care to help me up?""No. We aren't that far up, so you'll survive."With that, Hubertus left."Hubert! Don't leave me you evil sonuva ...!"

IC: Cerzei:Cerzei cautiously crept into the massive doors of the Dragon's Fire Tower, using much effort into opening the doors- which had enough space for a dragon to fit. Signs of usage were evident. Cerzei noted this mentally, walking into the dark plaza.

IC: [Del Strata] - Larlak, Floating Shadow Restauran and Bar"Annnnnnnddddd... we're open! Time for the hordes of hungry adventurers to clamber in."Del held back a grin, before walking back to the counter. As she passed each table, the Glatorian double-checked that everything was clean and in order."Well, let's hope it stays that way," she muttered, before settling herself into her chair, with a contented sigh.The Floating Shadow was officially open for business.OOC: Just in case you missed it, The Floating Shadow Restaurant and Bar is Open For Business!-Void

IC: Hubertus, Ignatius, Titus - AirshipTitus yawned as he sat at a table, still tired from the events of the day prior, when he was forced to do all the cleaning, for his friends were off to do random other tasks. He could have gone and done them instead, but he was the resident sane man, so it was his job to keep everything proper and in check."Oh hello Hubert, Iggy," he said, noting the arrival of his two friends into the room. "You two seem pretty annoyed at one another. May I know why this has come about?""He -" began Hubertus, pointing to Ignatius. "-blew me up, along with part of the deck.""And he left me hanging onto the side of the ship," said Ignatius angrily."I see," replied Titus."Do you even have anything else to say?" asked Hubertus."No. Now go get back to work."

IC: Saphiron / Larlak - Floating ShadowThe first customer for Del Strata to deal with was a sweat covered, panting Glatorian. Saphiron made her way through the doors, looking as if she had just been run through the entire jungle. Which was to be expected, as she had been.Helmet under her arm, she moved to one of the front seats, in the far seat up at the bar, as she slid her helmet to the side. "I'll take a mug of Sunfire, if you have any in stock. If not, I'll settle for that Raptors Blood swill."OOC: And this time I'm not here to extort your money. :P-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

IC: KiarvaungIn one corner of the room that Cerzei had entered, Kiarvaung lay. It was the darkest corner, and his scales were dusty. In fact, with his eyes closed, he looked more like a pile of rocks than anything else.

IC: Tenzan - Drileiv, City in the Sky -Breath in....and out...in....and out....I kept up rhythmic breathing at a steady pace as I cleared my mind of all emotion, worries, and stress. I sat cross-legged in the park, just outside the dojo of the Drileiv. I began to to focus on what I was hearing. I could hear the leaves rustling in the tree above me. Then I focused on the sound of swords clashing, and arrows hitting bulls eyes in the dojo nearby. Next I focused on the wind, listening to it move through the city. My mentor had taught me to be like the wind, swift and nimble, always finding a way to get around obstacles...Thinking of my mentor caused me to drop out of my concentration momentarily. I sighed. It had been months since he'd gone to the surface, and still, he had not returned. Still, he had told me not to come looking for him on the surface if he did not return...and I would honor his wish....Yet I could not help but wonder if I should anyway?

IC: Tahnuk - City in the SkyTahnuk walked toward Yksfolt, intending to purchase a wepon. We walked toward the market area, looking for a suitable shop. "When will the next mission to the surface be?" he thought as he walked.OOC: Open to interaction.

OOC: And you have no idea how glad I am about that. :biggrin:IC: [Del Strata] - Floating ShadowDel nodded, reaching for a bottle of Sunfire, "Consider yourself lucky, a fresh shipment just came in yesterday..."Leaving it on the counter, the Glatorian, reached under the counter for a glass."That'll be six widgets," she said as she handed the drink over to Saphiron.-Void

IC: Saphiron / Larlak - Floating ShadowSaphiron took out a small, shining coin from her pouch. Well, not that small. The piece of inscribed metal was at least four inches in diameter and a good half inch thick; the ancients seemed to have been fond of such overtly large pieces of currency."Will this work?" she asked, offering the coin. Things like this weren't exceptionally rare, but they could still fetch three times the price Del had asked for.OOC: Looks kind of like this-MW_Icon_MI_Dwemer_Coin.pngYes I've been getting into Morrowind again don't judge me!-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

-==IC: Arkara==-Tahnuk found himself on the wrong side of luck; as Arkara showed up; and noticed him."Hi there!" Arkara said cheerfully, as he walked up to Tahnuk, who was likely wishing to get away from the Glatorian who had trouble follow him almost every second.OOC: Pitiful first post for my own RPG, I know, but this guy's neutral, so he doesn't count. I'll get in some posts for the leaders once I finish up something IRL.

IC: [Del Strata] - Larlak, Floating ShadowAnother entrepreneur might have thrown Saphiron out on the spot, but fortunately for the Glatorian, Del was not another entrepreneur. Her time on the streets had taught her how to recognize the value of things, and so excepted the coin with little hesitation."Thank you," she said, barely hiding her grin, "Well, since you've still got the equivalent of twelve widgets on standby, anything else you'd like?"-Void

IC: Tahnuk"Hello?" he said, surprised by the Glatorian who had suddenly appeared. "Do you know of a place where I could buy a weapon?" he asked, knowing his current weapoms were getting old.

-==IC: Arkara==-"Oh, probably; I think there's a blacksmith in one of the other sectors." Arkara said with a shrug."I find most of my equipment on the surface, people don't typically like to deal with me." Arkara explained with a slight sigh.

IC: Saphiron / Larlak - Floating Shadow"I might need a few refills. I would tell you the number of pieces that man was ripped into, but I don't think it's possible to count that high."She sighed before taking a long drink. "Memories down there don't end up pleasant. I guess I can count myself lucky. This will have been my 60th visit to the surface this year, and I still haven't lost any limbs, or run into a warmech. I suppose I should thank the Great Beings for the last one, but they're the ones who built the infernal things."-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

IC: Cerzei:"By the Great Beings..." Cerzei supposed the dragon was asleep, as it laid there with no movement. Dragons really were inhabiting the Tower. The valuable information that could be found was going to be blocked by the hulking mass of scales. The cloaked being sighed, quietly trying to maneuver to the corridor nearby.

IC-Aclaraung:Atop Dragon's Fire Tower stood a being, older by far than many of those within the floating city, or running along the ground. He was a creation of the Great Beings when they were young, larger by far than many of their other, newer creations, except one. He was resplendent in his golden-red scales, light reflecting off of him in a cascade of liquid glory. His massive wings were draped about him like a cloak, the bloody coloured flesh between accenting his body's colouration. His eyes were naught but large, glowing orbs, staring balefully out at that which was around him.Now, however, he sat, staring up into the bright sky, as his icy cousin came to him, seemingly to burn in the heat of the sun, moving as fluid as water as he moved up to the greater dragon."Okavaung," the being rumbled, turning his massive head to view the smaller being. "Where is your brother?"

IC: Okavaung: Dragon's Fire Tower:The light of the sun shined through the white Sohllikan's wings, adding waves of various shades of light blue to the beautiful display of color. In some spots, the two different colors met, creating a vibrant purple. The huge, old dragon (Not as huge or as old as his master, [Or "truh"] of course) exhaled twin puffs of cold air onto himself, trying to cool himself down. How he hated being in the sun like this. As he landed and Aclaraung spoke, he bowed his head out of respect for the ancient king of the Sohllikan. He lifted his head as he replied."I suspect he is within the tower, but I know not where. I am sure he will arrive soon."IC: Joskirre: Yksfolt:The glatorian wandered through the market district, making sure there was nothing else within the city that might be of use on his excursion to the ruins of Narcesti. He ducked into an alley to reach a new line of shops and avoid making a big circle.OOC: Managed to squeeze in a post, iBrow. Might be able to again, later. You can have your guy be in the alley.

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung snorted, dispelling the heat about himself for his ilsk. The younger cousin and servant would find the air much more bearable."The old sleeper continues as he will," Aclaraung growled, slight amusement in his voice. "Come, let us find him. You may retire to more...icy climes when I am done with you." He pushed himself up, shaking, loose scales flaking off, already being replaced by new."I need some metal anyways. I assume our store of gold is still strong?"

IC: [Del Strata] - Larlak, Floating ShadowDel raised an eyebrow at Saphiron's story, but kept silent for the most part. "If it helps," she said, no longer able to keep from adding her two cents, "I know where you're coming from. None of my experiences on the surface have been exactly fab. See this:"The Glatorian rolled up her sleeve to reveal a long, jagged scar running almost the entire length of her arm."Got this from one of those beasts down there. Nasty stuff, nasty."-Void

IC: LarlakCandor walked out of his house and locked the door. He kept his keys on a small chain necklace.Placing it around his neck, he started to walk down the street.Today he wore simple cotton clothes and leather sandals as it was too warm to wear armorThe Skrall had decided to go for a walk and maybe later a snack.

IC: Okavaung: Dragon's Fire Tower:Okavaung breathed in the cold air gratefully. He started toward the edge of the tower again as he replied. "You assume correctly. It is indeed strong." After this, he leaped off the tower, immediately going into a dive.

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung walked to the edge as well, jumping off. As he fell he unfurled his great wings, swooping down over the treetops, light filtering through his wings and shining off his scales, lending credence to the name 'Royal Star.' The blood-red light filtering from his wings, interspersed with thin, veiled strands of gold played on the forest below him, accentuating his shadow as he glided back into the sandy area around Dragon's fire tower."Okavaung!" He roared. "The doors are open, and I see a Glatorian's footprints! Come!" He burst through the doors like a charging bull, seeing Cerzei walking through the room."You insolent child!" He growled, stepping forwards, his claws scratching on the ground as he breathed deeply, proceeding to expel liquid flame flying straight for the smaller being.

IC: Saphiron / Larlek, Floating Shadow"There are some things in this world that can't be argued, and that's one of them."She finished off her drink in a final, complete chug that would have impressed most Skrall, before setting the glass back down. "And, of course, the moment I come up here, I have to deal with some Machine thugs trying to steal the power core out of an airship! If I didn't know better, I could have sworn I spotted a dragon over the central deserts. At least they're extinct, unlike every other creature down there!"-Toa Levacius Zehvor :flagusa:

-==IC: Arkara==-"Dinosaurs that can fly?" Arkara asked, not knowing how he didn't know that some dinosaurs could fly."And really, anything. Who knows what's in those ruins, just waiting to attack." Arkara said with a shrug. It was, in a way, obvious why everyone avoided him.

IC: Saphiron / Larlek, Floating Shadow"Certainly." she responded. "But it just seems to be getting worse. I wonder if half of those in the Machine have even taken their rite of passage yet. If I had my way, I'd take the lot of them down and deal with one of the big ones en masse. Let natural selection make short work of them. Maybe send the survivors after a Construct."She shook her head. "No... that's just taking it too far. I'll be honest with you - the worst part about landing on the surface isn't going into the jungle. It's the ruins. We have to land in them in order to go, but it always gives a sense of unease. I can still remember when they were thriving cities, but now... nothing."-Toa Levacius Zehvro :flagusa:

-==IC: Arkara==-"Others seem to think so; but no; I've seen one myself; one of my first trips. The problem is; everyone else died during that trip." Arkara said, his smile faltering for a brief moment, before returning once more."However, the thing is that there's really not much we know about, in terms of the Surface. We need to be on guard."
