OOC: So if Jalkron puts it on, he'll lose his iron power, and in an hour gain the power of a toa of magnetism?  What about when they take it off?  Do they not gain their element back for an hour after that?

IC: Jalkron catches it and examines it.  "So your saying that this thing will mess with my elemental powers?  I loose my iron powers and get magnetism?"

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron watches with interest.  "If I could control iron and magnetism, I would be unstoppable.  Yeah I know it won't work at the same time, but if we figure out how these things work I would really like to keep the magnetism one.  Aokora, anything else you want to do in here or can we leave.  I'm getting really tired of these tunnels, and I feel like there's another trap I missed and it's going to spring any second and kill us all."

IC: Jalkron

"There's nothing I can detect.  Aokora, would you like to do the honors?"

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron nods, and scans the room.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron walked up to the bull and placed his hand on its forehead.  Metal flows from his hand, covering the bull, capturing every detail, except the holes in its body.  He steps back as the metal moves, causing the bull to stand upright.  Jalkron grabs it's spear and places it in its hand.  he looks over his work and nods, then turns and says, "Now let's get what we came for."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron returns his staff back to normal and wipes the blood off the end.  He asks, "Is everyone alright?"

IC:  Jalkron

Jalkron was not taken off guard, it had happened once today, and it would not happen again.  He noticed the bull the instant the hatch started to open and as the javelin flew towards him he swung his ax, splitting it down the middle.  As the bull charges Jalkron level's his staff and changes it again, the ax head melts into the staff, which becomes pointy, still impossibly sharp, and it grows longer, aimed right for the bull's chest.

IC: Jalkron

"The bull is obviously able to move quickly thought whatever passages are behind the walls.  That means they should be fairly large, and I will be able to see it coming from a long way off and set up defenses it won't be able to smash through."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron noticed the bull's arm with his mask, ,which gave him time to avoid the worst of the blow.  However, it still clipped him, knocking him onto his back and stunning him slightly.  Shaking his head, he stands up, leaning on his ax. "We have three options.  The first is continue down one of these tunnels.  The second is follow the bull through the hatch into the walls.  Finally, we could turn back, although I have no intention of doing that.  I suggest we follow it into the walls.  There will be less traps, if any at all, and it won't be able to surprise us by jumping out of the wall."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron glances down and does what she asks. "No more interruptions if you want to survive!" he shouts when he's done.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron angles the ax downward, aiming to cut the spear in two which would be possible due to the sharpness of the blade.

IC: Jalkron

"It was hiding, now shut up if you want to survive!"  As the bull charges at him Jalkron forms a large ax head on his staff, it's edge sharper than any forged blade, and swings it at the bull, while forming metal ridges on the floor to try and trip it.

IC: Jalkron

"Wait!  Let me check it out first."  Jalkron reaches out, trying to detect any traps.

IC: Jalkron

"I don't see what you are so upset about.  I destroyed the saw blades, the water trap wasn't a big deal, you actually enjoyed swimming in it, and since we know where the trigger tiles are for the fire trap we can get past that without too much trouble as well.  So we go forward, get what we came for, and leave.  I'd actually rather go back the way we came.  We know all the traps that way."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron jogged back across easily, then knelt as Aokora climbed onto his back.  "That was definitely one of the easier traps to avoid," Jalkron said as he let Aokora drop down to the ground.  "How much farther do you think we have to go?"

IC: Jalkron

"Relax, you are not going to be roasted.  I'm more skilled than that."  Jalkron walks down the hallway, easily avoiding every trigger tile.  When they were through he dropped her and said, "That wasn't so bad.  Hey Aokora, do you want me to come get you?"

OOC: I didn't say I didn't like it, I was just curious as to when and why.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron sighs and kneels down.  "Get on," he says to Orca.

OOC: When and why did you start calling your matoran Orca?

IC: Jalkron

"I trust mine far more.  Zaara, do the tiles form a pattern of any kind on the floor?  I want to get over there."

IC: Jalkron

"Walk down the hallway and see which tiles trigger the fire.  Then we can not step on those and we'll be good to go."

OOC: I'm regretting not having Jalkron fix the saw trap right about now.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron grabbed a lightstone and looked down the hall.  He created a small ball of metal and tossed it down the hall, right in between the holes.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron drops, splashing everyone when he hits the water.  "Keep your job, Aokora.  If there's one thing I hate, it's sitting still and being cooped up inside.  Yeah, I'll go first."  He heads into the new tunnel, activating his Arthron and again taking no lightstone.  

IC: Jalkron

"I'm not showing off.  I'm conserving elemental power and getting up here as fast as I can.  If this doesn't work I want time to figure out something that does."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron falls, clutching the object in his hand.  He forms spikes on the toes of his boots and on his gauntlets, then jumps as high as he can, digging the spikes into wall.  He does this again, launching away from the wall and up, towards the hole in the roof.  After a few more jumps he reaches the hole.  Ignoring the strain on his muscles Jalkron uses his staff to put the object in the hole.

IC: Jalkron

"Allow me."  Jalkron bends down and bends the metal aside.  He lowers his staff through the hole, and when it reaches the object the staff grows a claw and clamps down on it.  Jalkron pulls it out and examines the object after returning his staff to normal.

IC: Jalkron

"Wait.  If wee need to go down, I'll make the hole.  I'd rather not burn myself on the white hot metal around the edges of your hole.  Aokora, what do those markings say?" Jalkron asks as he points towards them.
