But alas, there is no hope of stopping them," Prssa realized.IC: Amalia: Parched Wastes:Amalia and Kono did not go off far-- rather some distance off Asheing.

He passed through a small clearing as the announcement went out. He did not understand but guessed he was in the green part. He saw a black dot. Was it food? He just had to see.

Magnus Greel Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 IC: Parched WastesVertan watched in awe as the Shepherds used their divine powers to turn night to day, and then thanked them silently for the clear way. He and Reptak made sure to stay close to the Parched Wastes-Ashring border to avoid any close contact with other slaves, lest they lose Reya.The Skakdi kept her over his shoulder as he carried the Toa of Water. His companion stayed low to the ground by Vertan's feet, acting very much like sand being kicked up, in case of an ambush as the headed for the Yawning Sunder.IC: Parched WastesSeeing as Nostala had left before he could answer, Greel simply continued the repairs with Desiana. Another successful day on the Island of Pain, he thought to himself as new "sunlight" shone through the remaining cracks in the buildings. OOC: Parugi, Blade. Make sure Nostala and Kairan open that cache very cautiously. There's no telling what trap might be set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 OOC: I learned things from everyone opening caches like there was no tomorrow last time. ... That being said, since Kairan was asleep for that whole incident, and none of the Wolves were affected... =P-==IC: Desiana//Oasis Ruins==-"I just hope they're careful..." Desiana said with a frown. It would definitely not be a good thing to lose two key allies at this point; especially when they were two of the original members, from the way everyone else had been talking. However, she put that out of her mind for the moment, and simply concentrated on repairing the ruins... If they couldn't get this to withstand attacks from others, and people rushed the ruins thinking the cache was there, then it didn't matter if that cache was trapped or not... They wouldn't stand a chance.

Parugi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 OOC: A trap? Of course not! It's just there for the Shepherds' purposes in acquiring Reya! Nothing suspicious at all about its location! 8DIn all seriousness, there's only one way to find out, isn't there? And if it isn't a trap, then better for us, right?If so... well, I'll have to resort to my leet Ackbar and haxxor powerz to avoid it. IC - Nostala - Parched Wastes: Nostala continued to run, deep in thought, though her movements did not indicate this. It was indeed curious that a cache had appeared so near by the Wolves immediately after they had found a base to operate from. The thought did cross her mind that this could be a trap, and if it was, she was prepared to defend herself.However,one other thing had come to her attention -- one of the black dots had also disappeared from the map, along with the indicator that had accompanied it and made it clear that it had been a contender. That, and the other dot had moved to the south of the island -- where there were no caches. Perhaps the Shepherds were simply using the caches as a way to go after the other blacklisted prisoner themselves?No; that's unlikely, she thought. Regardless, if there's even a chance that this cache is claimable by us, for once, then I'm willing to risk it.She looked up. They were already closing in on the cache; it really hadn't been that far away. She gripped her staff tightly."You ready?" she called to Kairan behind her. Just a few more minutes...

It might not happen, but then again; you can never be too careful."Just..." Kairan started to say, but then smiled, and chuckled."Never mind, it's pretty obvious right now anyway." Kairan said instead, as the two neared the cache.

Parugi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) IC - Nostala - Parched Wastes: Nostala looked back at the Toa of Lightning and smiled, nodding. "Likewise."She slowed to a halt as they arrived at the designated area. Searching first for other contenders - and not finding any -- the Artanian scanned the area with her eyes, looking for whatever would indicate the cache's position, as well as to get a reading on the terrain."Let's try to be quick about this," she said quietly to the Toa as she activated her mask. "I'd rather not get ambushed here."

All the while, he kept his sword on his shoulder, ready in case another slave decided to attack them.Where could it be, though? Kairan thought, as he scanned the surroundings cautiously.

We need to set up a forge first, but once it's done, your metal powers are useless if you can't make the weapon right. And I like my tools done right.""I am being tracked because I know some things not based off of conjecture. I have seen the Shepherds secrets. They want it to die with me. Well it won't!"IC: Arillan / Shimmering Maze"The cache can wait." hissed Arillan in reply, holding Jontan - who had now been with no oxygen, and no way to gain any, for almost 10 seconds - aloft in the air.

Magnus Greel Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) OOC: Well, you never know, Parugi. What might seem small and unsuspecting could turn out to be something big and dangerous. Like having a cache on the beach not hidden at all and containing slimy Kraata to stun you and give you a message that you've been blacklisted. Or finding a cache in a jungle where one-half is a bomb that can only be deactivaded by finding its counterpart or else big BOOM! :PYou never know what the Shepherds might do...IC: Yawning Sunder/Shadowtangle Vertan carefully walked across a temporary bridge over the Yawning Sunder. It was bulit of rope and wood, and seemed not to be able to carry much more weight than his and the Toa's. But he got to the otherside without much of a problem, grumbling over Reptak's ability to fly and why he couldn't.The group continued to move along the coast of the island, entering into the great forest of Shadowtangle.

And my name's Myr, by the way. I've heard the stories about you, and frankly, I'm not impressed." Myr had been both admired and feared by thousands, not for his skill with a sword (which was considerable), but for the effectiveness of his weapons.

There was no trap within the cache, it apparently was just a coincidence. Instead, safely contained within foam packaging was a syringe and a vial. The vial was clearly meant to go in the syringe and be injected into someone, injecting...whatever it was into the victim.The stuff filling the vial was odd. A sickly, almost luminous green viscous liquid that wallowed thickly in the glass tube. Those who had seen it before would have recognised it instantly. Hordika Venom...Amalia was wasting her time.
