Simulacrum Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 IC: Jilsud, Ta-Koro"Stubborn? Ha! You should have met my-" Jilsud suddenly paused, as if someone had thrown a switch and his brain was once again capable of logic. "Wait a minute..." He said, staring at her with suspicion. "Why are you so nice all of a sudden? You went from cold and cruel to warm and kind in a split-second." And then, as if the switch had been thrown back into it's usual position, the logic was gone. "Are there two of you in there?" Jilsud asked, pointing at Kohra's head as he smiled his idiotic smile that made one seem so trusting. Strange, considering it also made them seem mindless imbeciles with the reasoning power of a burlap sack. "Or are there more? I know a guy who thought he had eight dozen. Turned out someone had bashed his head in with a wrench, which, actually, explained a lot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 IC: EmbokThe Toa of Plasma accepted the second longsword, and studied it closely. Like the first, it was of excellent craftsmenship, and, as he had requested, it was a bit shorter then the last one. The blade was of medium width, and the hilt comfortably fit his armored hand. An interesting thing to note was the row of circular holes running along the center of the blade. These made it both lightweight and strong.Now of the real test. Focusing his elemental power, Embok channeled through the sword, and a glowing purple gas surrounded the blade, filling the room with light. The blade was unchanged by the sudden increase in heat, and the Pa-Toa nodded in approval. "How much?" he asked the Fe-Matoran.IC: CiryaThe Toa of Crystal found that to be a very low price, but hid her reaction. Cirya pulled the number of widges out of her bag, and gave them to the Matoran. "Thank you," she said, flashing the Ta-Matoran a smile to try and make sure that they got good rooms. - BZPRPG - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) IC: BloodstoneOn a street in Ta-Koro, there lie an inconspicuous tavern. Above the entrance to the tavern, a sign hung that designated the tavern as "Stained Sapphire Tavern." Inside that tavern, behind the bar, through a secret door and in a hidden room, a Toa of Crystal sat, sharpening his throwing knives. That Toa, whose true name had been lost to time, just so happened to be the leader of a somewhat small guild of assassins known as the Blood Clan. Bloodstone, Toa of Crystal and leader of the Blood Clan, finished sharpening his knives and laid them out on the table in front of him in a row. The other members of the Clan were out on missions he had given them, so he had the tavern to himself. He scooped up the knives on the table in front of him and placed them in his satchel. It was time for him to go on a mission of his own.Soon, several posters had been placed on walls and signposts around Ta-Koro:Blood Clan: Now hiringGo to the Stained Sapphire Tavern in Ta-Koro and ask for Bloodstone or Dagger. Join a league of the most skilled assassins-for-hire on the entire island!He continued on his way, moving south to Le-Wahi.OOC: Bloodstone to Le-Wahi.

Visaru Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 ICThe Ta-Matoran tossed them two keys and went back to his book, letting the thought of the two customers slip from his mind.Lara and Cirya glanced at their room keys, and followed the hotel's stone signs to the third floor, where eight doors opened into the hotel rooms. Lara fit her key into the metal lock of her door, and pushed it open. In her room sat a small bed, to her right, and an even smaller table, to her left. A window opened down onto the city of fire. Lara thought it was a very good room for the price. It was clean and the bed was comfortable; more than she could have asked for.She threw down her huge backpack on the floor, and walked out of the room, locking it and holding onto her room key. She waited in the stone hallway for Cirya to finish unloading, glad to be at her destination. -------------- Tarrok | Korzaa | Verak | Kirik -------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did their absence provide peace and quiet, it also made the Tavern become less of a secretive, dark headquarters for the Cult and more of...well, a Tavern.She set down the cup she had been cleaning and strode over to the window, where a wooden (closed) sign sat. With a quick gesture, she flipped the sign over so that the characters (open) faced the street. She strode back to the bar and continued to clean the cup.

Tabby: Toa of Cats Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) IC:As the team walked to the walls of Ta-Koro, where Miraul planned to show them some of the equipment he had bought, Vilak turned to Divan, and showed him his foot, revealing a slight hole in the armor where he had taken an iron spike in an earlier fight with a crazy crossbowmen."You mind fixing that, Divan?""No problem." Divan reached down and placed his hand on the foot. A tiny bit of metal, much stronger than usual, formed over the gap before a layer of orange metallic protodermis covered that. Divan has experimented with making a tiny bit of protosteel.-----Arriving at the wall, Miraul passed out six launchers, keeping one to himself. He spoke loud enough for all the Toa and Bijackal to hear. "Meet the Volo Lutu launcher, the latest addition to your arsenals. It functions as a grappling hook, which can pull you up a surface such as a cliff. Or, in this case a wall. Watch."Miraul spun, grabbing the Volo Lutu launcher, and pointed it at the top of the wall. He then pulled the trigger. It shot up a cable, a hook at the end taking hold of Ta-Koro's battlements. Tugging thrice to check the line's security, Miraul then pressed a button as it reeled him up to the top of wall."Your turn," he shouted to his team below him.Six grappling hooks shot up from the walls below. Miraul smiled. Edited August 15, 2012 by Tabby: Toa of Cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progenitus Worldsoul Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 IC: Morning had struck. Avya had left just before dawn, Hasil following her shortly after. A few hours later, Kamaehu and Ara'kas remained still. They were in the midst of a conversation, plans for the days ahead."What difference would it make, if the island were purged of The Makuta's servants, his champions vanquished? More will rise up, more than the likes of you or I could defeat. This island does not need warriors, whom would cut off the hands of The Makuta. It needs heroes, those who shear through his gates, even to what lies beyond. There is naught that I could do to save this island, lest that which would fade ere the next dawn." mused Kamaehu, a solemn weariness etched into the words. However, the response that followed showed instead a fiery determination, backed by a refusal to be wrong. "Even Heroes can fall, when placed against enough. You can't just sit around and wait for the more virtuous to do the work. If all the fiends you strike down are replaced the next, you've still bought the island one more day. You said it would be a hero who would break through the gates of Mangaia. Whom do you expect to get them there?" Ara'kas stood up, heading out of the inn. "Come, cousin. Your fire will burn a while still. Let's see what havoc has been wrought in the world"OOC: Ara'kas and Kamaehu to Ga-Wahi.

Flex Lord Splash Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) IC: Crystalia Ta-Koro Crystalia slowly made her way through the streets of Ta-Koro, light dancing over her black and grey armor as she moved, her armor clinking lightly as she stepped. She walked very fluidly, as if she was very sure of herself, and quite lithe.Crystalia was an interesting figure as she made herway through Ta-Koro. For one she was a Toa, and a Toa of Magnetism at that. Her dark raven colored cloak billowed behind her, and her hood was up, casting a shadow over most of his features. But even through the shadows Crystalia's eyes still glow an eerie yellow as she stepped through the street.Her armored feet were splashed with mud from walking through Le-Wahi not long before, but that did not really bother Crystalis much, she was used to trekking through Mata Nui like this, she’d spent most of her life on the island, moving from Koro to Koro as she took out targets. She loved being an assassin, it was the greatest feeling ever, when she plunged her daggers into someone. She had a worn letter clutched in her grasp.Crystalia had received the letter a few days ago, she'd been passing through Ko-Koro when a messenger had arrived, giving her the letter before walking off. The letter had intrigued Crystalia, at first she feared it was a trap set by a potential enemy, but after rereading it several times she wasn’t so sure. Crystalia had quickly made her way to Ta-Koro, just arriving in the city a few minutes ago.Now she made his way towards the Stained Sapphire Tavern the place the letter specified, looking for this Bloodstone and the cult of assassins it had mentioned, the Blood Cult. Crystalia’s large knives tapped lightly against his hips as she moved closer to the Stained Sapphire Tavern. The inn looked overly inviting to Crystalia after walking across Mata Nui for so long. Slowly she pushed open the door and entered the inn, her tall frame just a few inches from the top of the doorframe.Crystalia glanced around the inn, taking in how empty the inn was. Instantly the heat from the hearth assaulted Crystalia, she felt better now in the warm inn as she reached up and pulled her hood down. She moved towards the bar, eyeing the person who was currently cleaning a mug and raising a brow on her mask. It seemed that this Bloodstone was not in the inn, or if he was he was hiding herself, or perhaps he didn’t know how Crystalia actually looked. She stepped closer to the bartender.“I’ll take a glass of ale.” She told Dagger, taking a seat at the bar. "Would you happen to know anything about this?" she asked, and then she placed the letter on the bar and moved it towards Dagger where she could read it.
