Not Quite Dead Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 GMLufon might've taken a few down. But being outnumbered, outgunned and in the enemy's home turf, he most definitely wouldn't have made them regret too much. He, Kat and Mokeron (the last of these three had somewhat confusingly ended up with the first two instead of feasting and drinking in the barracks) were led into the chassis-house after handing their weapons over. If any of the natives were surprised with the Ta-Matoran's gender, they did not show it. Inside the structure was a rather cozy and comfortable dwelling. Rugs and furs covered the bare metal walls, old train innards and upholstery provided seats and walls to the home. The entrance also comprised the living room, a bookcase sat on one wall and a fireplace was opposite it. The dank chill of the tunnels was counteracted somewhat by the cracking orange-maroon flames. In an old conductor's chair near the fire sat a wizened figure. He was a matoran of... some type. His organic muscles and tendons were wirey and thin, coloration pointed to either Magnetism or Iron as elemental affinity, he wore an old grey Hau that hid soft blue eyes behind a sort of visor that had been added on. "Welcome, outsiders. I've heard of your entrance and meeting with our people." He gestured to a row of seating opposite him. "Please, take a seat." * * * * * * Against all odds, the hike up to Burial went off without a hitch. The quintet of Cor Saeva, Shard, Zekev, Logan and Dix had reached the island by noon. They had not needed their climbing gear as the stone stairs had been left completely exposed by low tide, this saved them from dealing with the toxic waters as well. The island was a fair bit higher and larger than one would've expected at a distance, they were likely half a kio above sea level. The waves crashed into the rocks far below. The shoreline was marked far away by a line of damp sand and marine life that had been stranded by the retreating waters. All in all, the island was a good kio across at low tide. Logan had speculated it was volcanic in nature, rather than a reef island, basing it on several things he had noticed and explained with long paragraphs of speech. Sunlight had penetrated the entrance way, it opened into a building that was completely out of place in time. Swords, axes, bows and rusty pieces of crude armor lay scattered about. One crate even had tools for food processing that were thousands of years behind current technology. As far as the party could tell, no electrical wiring or indeed, electronics of any sort were present. The antechamber branched off with three paths, one of the north, to the south and to the west. The west likely led to the central courtyard. Perhaps the others led to the outerwall and buildings. "Alright," Logan handed out sheafs of paper. "Cor Saeva and Zekev, you'll be heading down the northern passage. I'll be taking Shard and Dix with me on the southern passage. My guess is that they'll eventually meet up or open into the courtyard. Please map everything you can see, take notes of anything, well... Out of place would be the wrong term, given the fact we're in a prehistoric castle. So just take notes of anything that strikes you two as especially out of the ordinary." He shouldered his greypowder rifle, taking point and moving to the south. "Safeties off, anything hostile gets a double tap to center mass." * * * * * * One by one, the golems fell. Fire was something the author had forgotten the party possessed a powerful tool of destruction against beings of such a flammable nature. The golem that Oblitus had fired upon went down as it's legs collapsed, it's body slowly burning to ash and tar. The last one rampaged towards the two matoran nearer the tree, luckily for them, it was easily avoided. It ran into the tree with a dull crack and - Fell through. A great chunk of the tree's bark had been broken, the trio heard the golem tumble and crunch it's way... Down? Peering into the new entrance, the matoran would find quite a peculiar sight, the tree's great trunk was hollow. Inside, a network of thick vines and branched continued downwards for at least a hundred bio, bioluminescent light filled the great cavity. Far, far below, a reddish glow was present. The same as the lightstones that had guided them through the first part of their journey, augmented by the faint ember of the guttered out golem. ...but close to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Quite Dead Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 GM"Scouts can be wrong, can they not? My people are well versed in remaining unfound. As are the Hadals." His tone drained of jovial pretense, obviously Lufon was not the sort to entertain niceties or be entertained. "I'll be blunt, my people told me you triggered one of our traps, an unfortunate situation. But nothing to start firing at my people for. We've not killed or expelled you from our caves because you can prove useful to as, and, I believe, we can prove useful to you. So, tell me. Are you here by accident or purpose? If you're... Searching for something, we might be able to set up a deal." * * * * * * At Cor Saeva's prodding, the skeleton did indeed crumble. On the other side of the ruins, Dix responded to Shard, "not yet, buddy." The corridor around them was slightly dissimilar to the one that the other pair had taken. It did not open to the inner courtyard and had a dank, dark appearance and atmosphere. As with the entrance room, crates and chests of weapons and armor sat in corners or were hung from the walls. All of them were ancient, metal pitted and dark. The most complicated one was a longbow. "Weird stuff here, eh? I'd have assumed the ruins out here would all be great old tech-y looking buildings like Motara has. This place is a dump even by our standards." The Su-Matoran mused to Shard. Ahead of them, Logan called a halt. "Looks like a dead end over here." The bulky Vortixx stood in a circular room. Perhaps under the tower that had seen towards this side of the castle? The walls were blank and empty of devices. The ceiling was lost in darkness, so if anything was present, it could not be discerned. If only one of them could make some light... * * * * * * The vines were quite sturdy, some of the strands as thick as rope. Intermittent branches and limbs snaked their way around the hollow, providing places to rest and reassess the next move. It was a fairly safe way to getting down, though it begged the question of how the ascent would fair. It was also quite slow and boring to write about, a great hollow (underground) tree trunk extending over a hundred bio into the ground was quite the interesting concept, but the actual appearance was quite vanilla. So instead, perhaps the slow series of rappels and rests would be interspersed with conversation or speculation. ...but close to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
