otter Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Game Master:Just as Ghaieden landed, firmly on the other side, his stone stopped tugging, momentarily, as did Cotan's stone, and Fury's...blade. The light far ahead of the Vortixx grew brighter, surprising him, and Ketru, with its intensity. The light then pushed against Ketru, inciting him to run faster, as Ghaiden began to move up behind.When he noticed something. The Shadows were moving, seperating into forms similar to those of Toa and Matoran and other species, coming up to inhabit the airspace as they ambled through the tunnel, not stopping.The tugging that was felt by the first three beings, through their items, began anew. Trying to draw them through the singular tunnel, as though there were no moving shadows within. Even then, a skeptical being would not assume danger, they would merely chalk it up to the light and the mists interacting oddly. Other beings, however, would have different theories. Different things to worry about.And this far out in the tunnels, Ghaieden and Ketru were all alone. profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His eyes were those of a shark, careful, gleaming, yet hungry; instantly, the experienced old man felt a slight shiver of fear, replaced by determination."Odd pick for a midnight stroll, eh?"

Oh well. Time to finish the mission.He noted the shadows, but didn't particularly care. He just attributed it to being Ul'Kar or one of his minions watching him.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appeared to have given up and just continued on. Good - then he wouldn't see what hit him next. Ghaieden raised his arm and fired three Rhotuka spinners. Energy, and completely silent... aimed at the ground to the left, right, and just behind his enemy. He didn't mind a direct hit or not - he just wanted to catch the target in the stasis burst.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
