Not Quite Dead Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) IC Karna "Red lightstones dot the tunnels and chambers below, outside light would be useless." The priest enters the tunnel, within five steps the darkness envelopes him. The air of Mangaia is not so much openly hostile as it is otherworldly and mammoth. You feel as an insect on the skin of a beast far larger than yourself. For it to roll over and crush you, or swat you with it's tail would be no more an act of violence than one of habit or ignorance. The sensation is humbling, there are things much bigger than any one man, no one could enter and retain their prideful illusions of granduer and importance on the cosmic scale. Karna is aware of these things, he is a less fearful man than most. But the dark around him brings up questions of this endeavor's sanity even in his own mind. "...Come." He calls out to the others behind him, simple echolocation has told him the tunnel is mostly straight down until intersecting with one of the actual tunnels of Mangaia, hopefully they will find a lightstone there."

ARROW404 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 IC: The RecluseHe shook his head derisively. Fools, the lot of them. He couldn't imagine how they could even think of siding with a being who gave off the presence the tunnels did. It simply defied logic. Done with the carving, the took his momentary leave of the temple to replenish his elemental reserves. He realized that with a new tunnel opening so close by, Rahkshi could be upon them at any second, and he had used up a large portion of his energies on decorations. He crossed the red clearing, to the edge of the jungle and put his hand to a fallen tree, silently absorbing it. He was disrupting the ecosystem within it, he knew, but there were other places those organisms could hide. He needed the energy, thus was the way of nature.

Not Quite Dead Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) IC Karna Karna did not respond to Skorm. The Ba-Toa had the wrong idea in his head, he came here seeking treasure, for lack of a better term. But he did not understand that nothing was given freely in this world, anything he gained down here would cost him something. His allegiance, his blood, perhaps what was left of his soul. *crunch* The De-Toa abruptly stopped, he turned to the group, his hand raised to his lips. A signal anyone would recognize. "Silence." To his sensitive hearing, faint scrapings were detectable ahead. They were not alone down here. Karna used his elemental energy to deaden the acoustics of the small area of the tunnel they occupied, sound inside would not travel past a few bio. "I can hear movement in the tunnel. Perhaps one hundred bio ahead, there is at least one bend in the path between us and... Whatever is there."

(Daedalus) Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 IC: Trauer Trauer was conflicted. His master had no intention of fighting these Rahkshi, even though they were most likely feral and wouldn't think twice about killing any of them. Pacifism was admirable, but in this case, it seemed foolish. How could his master spread his message if he died because he refused to defend himself? It didn't make sense. Shaking his head, Trauer stopped debating. He wanted to follow The Heretic and he wanted to learn from The Heretic, but he couldn't do either if either one of them died. No, he would fight. If his master didn't approve, Trauer could apologize later. As Teren used to say to him, "Ask for forgiveness, not permission."

Not Quite Dead Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 IC Karna Saved his life? More likely was that it had been saving it's next meal. Renewed sounds, the pair of Rahkshi are moving now. If they had heard them or if it was chance, he could not know. His Akaku showed no change in their expression or body language. They just slowly walked through the tunnel. Zombie-like in their movements. "They're coming our way, conceal yourself as best you can. We will strike the Quick-Healing rahkshi as soon as it is within range." Karna wriggled into an alcove, the jagged walls producing shadows that broke up his sillhouette. He reached into his satchel, chewing a root with stimulant properties. It had been many years since he last fought. Many more since he had fought anything this dangerous. Fear made his blood pump fast and furious, he was sure his heart would've been audible ten bio away. It was exhilarating.
