xccj Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IC: Xyron pondered for a moment. His delivery needed to be prompt, but since he had already lost his trail, the delay would be inevitable. Besides, some extra gold could be useful."I'll help you out for a bit," Xyron said. "But then I need to get a move on. I'm headin' for the City of Fire.""Really? Then why would you come through here. This mountain pass is usually not accessible. You should've just stuck to the coastline.""I must've recieved bad information," Xyron grumbled. "Anyway, where's this hidden treasure?"I believe it's up this mountain. The shrine over there proves that there was some settlement here in the past. So I think I'm on the right track.""Then let's find this stuff!"

Shyyrn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IC (en route to the monastery):Thanks to his disk, Byrn was largely impervious to the mountain's frigid air. What would have ordinarily been a biting, piercing chill for the native desert-dweller was reduced to a tolerable airiness, as if he was simply strolling through a springtime field.His companion was looking just as comfortable--strange, considering he was a Le-Matoran. "Hey, Xyron, aren't you cold at all?" Byrn asked.OOC: Let's assume our characters already found out each others' names; saves the awkward 'Hey, what's your name?' posts. -Shyyrn "Let me realize that my past failures at follow-through are no indication of my future performance......They're just healthy little fires that are going to light up my resolve."

Perhaps it was the monastery that Byrm kept talking about. Either way, it would get the two of them shelter from the storm, and that would be good enough.

Shyyrn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IC (Gates of the Monastery):"We're here," Byrn said, his voice unconsciously going to a whisper as he and Xyron approached the once-sacred structure.Before them, the whirls of snow parted, revealing a once-great gate in severe disrepair. Where gold paint and intricately carvings of Kanohi once adorned the posts, only a dull sheen and eroded faces remained.Reaching forward cautiously, Byrn pushed the gate. It swung open without protest.Before them was a bleak, empty courtyard, and beyond... a cavernous opening into the building itself. It yawned open like a beast's maw, swallowing light.Steeling himself and taking a deep breath, Byrn stepped forward-"Wait!" yelled Xyron, grabbing Byrn's arm. "I think we're forgetting something!"Byrn turned to look at his companion, surprise and a hint of wounded pride in his eyes. "My supplies will cover for the both of us. I've explored many temples over the past few years, and I've survived through them all. What could I possibly-?""Light, Byrn! Illumination!" Xyron pointed to the door. "We won't be able to see a thing inside of there! We would just be blundering around in the dark!"Byrn looked toward the dark, forbidding entrance, then back at Xyron. He sighed. "You're right. I never thought of that... What are we going to do?"Xyron thought for a moment, then said, "I do have to go to the City of Fire... How about we go there for supplies? And while we're down there, we could recruit more people!"Byrn smiled. "That sounds like a pretty good idea."OOC: I apologize to everyone for the relatively contrived nature of that last post, but it was a convenient way to get Xyron's previous duties out of the way and tackle the monastery wholeheartedly. -Shyyrn "Let me realize that my past failures at follow-through are no indication of my future performance......They're just healthy little fires that are going to light up my resolve."

xccj Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IC: "So, you know this area pretty well?" Xyron asked. "What's the best way to get to the City of Fire?"Byrn shrugged, and pointed off into the snowy distance. "There's a glacier over that ridge, which had a gentle slope towards the north. That would probably be the best route, but we'd have to go around the ridge.""Why not go over the ridge?""Because it's quite a climb. It'll take longer.""Hey, I can climb pretty fast." Xyron said. "And if you're worried about weight, then I have a way around that too." He tapped his gravity disk.Byrn looked thoughtful. "You know, that could work. Although the storm will be pretty nasty as we climb up.""What? On the other hand, let's take the long, less stormy way around."

EmperorWhenua Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 PLOT POINTIc: Basilli walked with purpose through the breezeways of the stone fortress the Disciples called home. His followers parted to allow him passage, most of them giving him bows of loyalty as he passed. Normally, the commander would respond in kind to them, but this time he did not. This was urgent.He heaved his weight on a door and the brown stone slab opened wide, revealing one of the rooms. Stepping inside, he saw the simple tapestries on the walls and the metal chains that hung on cabinets. Candles and incense burned at the windows, their scents and aromas pushed in with the breeze. There was no carpeting, no gold, no anything of wealth, and a large stone slab was all that looked like furniture in the room. "Hopka!" he called out with urgency, one of his lesser used voices. "Where are you?" he said as he closed the door behind him."Here," the old matoran said as he came from around a corner. "Basilli, how can I help you?" He was dressed simply, contrasting with the decorations of the room. A simple black poncho was all he wore, and a silver linked chain was wound around his neck, a sign of his practice as a civil adviser. He was the Elder of the stronghold, an adviser to the leader of the Disciples."I need your advice," Basilli said, seating himself on the slab that served as the elder's table, bed and sofa."My knowledge is yours," Hopka said in his wise tone."I need to know if now is the time to strike the mainland. In the City of Water, to be exact.""Oh, Basilli," Hopka said, his face turning sad as he came closer to the commander and sat next to him. "You know We are not military advisers. I cannot advise you on matters of bloodshed -- it is against our ways!""Bollocks," Basilli retorted."I'm sorry? Did you think otherwise?""No," Basilli said, reaching for something in his pouch. He pulled out a communique and handed it to the Elder. "But your friends in the City of Fire do.""What...?" he said as he looked over the contents of it. "They would never... This is preposterous! The Elders would never disregard our true calling," he said. "Where's your proof?""You're looking at it, Hopka," Basilli countered. "That's official Army parchment. That's all the proof you need."The elder got up and walked in circles, thinking of a solution. "I still stand by my oath -- I am not your military adviser and never will be," he said. "But IF my associates betrayed Us, then there has to be something else afoot. What I suggest -- and it pains me to even suggest this -- is to bring those elders here. Maybe then we can figure out what is going on.""Every advantage Frareo's Best get is a disadvantage to us," Basilli said. "Let's hope we can recover from this before it gets out of hand.""You have my blessing, Basilli, if that matters to you."The commander said nothing more as he left the room to gather a strikeforce.
