[RP Thread] Cries of Urnung: Book of the Bladebringer

[Dragonson]

"Swim up? They're below water? Ekiron, you have to get the flyers up as fast as you can! Get everyone out! What's happening? Tell me, fast!"
Sunrah said with a mix of panic and determination.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

As Sunrah's words crept through Meyla's skull they became incoherent, distant. She found her eyelids closing, her mind shutting down. So tired, so cold.
Her fingers twitched slightly, a last desperate attempt to reach out for help.
But despite her best efforts her lips remained sealed and in due course she found her eyes joining them.

 

[Phoonix]

"I don't know if they are Sunrah. we were in a room and some barrier separated it from another room filled whit water. the room we were in started filling whit water soon after though, but I was pulled out!" He explained.

 

[Dragonson]

Immediately a wave of psychic energy started flowing through the link between Sunrah and the group.
A few words was imprinted in the minds of the entire group, and with it a slight bit of renewed energy.
Get out of the water. NOW.

 

[L2love]

As Sameal started to swim through the water he look up at the platforms and began to swim towards the platform till noticing Meyla he began to swim to her to pull her up with him or to at least aid her.

 

[GunSlinger]

Leo quickly understood the situation they were in, everything coming into focus, Meyla drowning with Sameal swimming to her soon adrenaline kicked in. Leo, with the use of his wings to swim, quickly swam upwards there he saw a platform and swam over to it.

 

[Dragonson]

Leo managed to get his wings into position to swim, and swiftly got to Ekiron's position on the platforms.

Meanwhile Samael grabbed Meyla and started pulling her upwards, fighting against the streams of the Maelstrom.
They moved slowly, but they moved upwards.

DM: The group's previous location now completely flooded.

 

[Wolfe]

Marais attempted to use the power of the winds to raise him and any of the others stuck in the swirling pool onto the platforms.

OOC: Elemental Channelling activated. Don't think I ever really disabled it, really.

 

[Fussiler1]

He was swimming with the group upwards.. at first he had been calm but slowly panic had taken him over -- illustrated by his silence. He hadn't been planning to show any sign of it, and silence, well, it concealed his panic. Illios shook his head and just focused on the swimming. He started swimming faster as he felt the urge to reach the platform became bigger and bigger.

 

[-Peper-]

Agron uses both of his hands and his wings to swim upwards, which is heavy because the streams.

 

[Dragonson]

With the aid of Marais' magic, the group soon reached the surface.
Samael, dragging Meyla, were slightly behind, but managed to get her with him.

Not a second later than the last person had left the water started swirling even stronger.
The whalesong returned, not almost like a screech of pain.
As the adventurers stood on the platforms, exhausted and dripping with water, something started moving from the bottom of the room.

DM: All members of the group are now on the Platforms.

 

[Phoonix]

As everyone reached the Platform Ekrion walked towards the doorway, examining it.

 

[Dragonson]

The doorway was open, leading into another crystal-lit corridor.

 

[Phoonix]

"we have to get out of here guys, and fast!" He then walked towards the edge of the platform and peered into the water. "GO!" he would stay here until everyone was trough.

 

[-Peper-]

"Understood." Agron ran towards the corridor, passing the doorway.

 

[Fussiler1]

''Fine by me..'' he said while moving in slow-motion towards the corridor with a grin on his face. He chuckled and followed Agron in a quicker pace then before. Much quicker.

 

[Dragonson]

While the group was nearing the exit a deafening roar came from below them, shaking the room once more.

 

[-Peper-]

Agron tried to stay on balance while keep running. "Come on! Faster!" he shouted to the team.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: A variety of New feats have been added to the feat list.

IC:
Back in the water filled room something slammes incredibly hard into the platforms from below, shaking the room yet again and causing the great statue of a robed man to crack.

 

[Phoonix]

Ekrion looks at the statue, shocked. "PEOPLE, MOVE!" he then yells before grabbing Meyla, swinging her over his shoulder and running trough the doorway.

OOC: enjoy the ride Grey. xD

 

[Dragonson]

The great being smashed into the platforms again, cracks spreading beneath the adventurers.

 

[GunSlinger]

Leo quickly ran towards the corridor.

 

[-Peper-]

Agron paused, he looked to the platform then continued to run.

 

[Dragonson]

Another hit, and the some of the platforms started falling into the water.
With a loud 'BOOM' the statue of the robed man litterally exploded, and small bits of stone rained down on those still in the room.
With the statue gone, the ceiling started moving downwards, the sounds of a very old and unused mechanism resounding through the corridor.

Those running could see another room at the end of the corridor, apparently torchlit.

 

[Phoonix]

OOC: L2love should better post O Or he'll die.

IC: Ekrion ran trough the corridor into the torchlit room.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: Lol, inactivity=death.
IC: Agron quickly spreaded his wings (don't know if the corridor was big or small) and dashes to the end of the corridor.

 

[L2love]

OOC:Mmmkay time to run.

Sameal followed the group as quickly as he could till they reached the end of the corridor.

 

[Dragonson]

Those who entered the torchlit room found themselves in a grand arena.
Around them they saw countless statues of robed men like the big one in the previous room, staring down upon them from the countless stone seats.
In the other end of the room was a great stone door.

 

[Phoonix]

Ekrion sat Meyla against the wall and crossed the room towards the door, examining it.

 

[Dragonson]

Ekrion found that the door was pretty unmovable.
It was solid, and looked like it had held for millenias.

OOC: Anyone not moving out of the water room will be DM-Moved out of there by my next post.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: Lol to prevent inactivity killed.
IC: "Cannot be opened?" Agron asks. "Then there should be something here..." Then he examines the surrounding.

 

[Dragonson]

Meanwhile the remainder of the party had walked, dragged or crawled themselves out of the water-filled room, and as soon as the last one left the ceiling blocked their way back.

Back in the arena, Agron noticed some sort of mechanism in the middle of the room. It looked quite broken.

 

[Phoonix]

Ekrion sighed. "I don't think it'll be as simple as to just pull a lever... Not that it is ever as simple as that." he shakes his head. "I think We should prepare for the worst."

 

[-Peper-]

"What, like an ambush?" Said Agron while still examining the mechanism.

 

[Phoonix]

"Or a trap, The fact alone that this room is shaped like an arena worries me." he said.

 

[GunSlinger]

"I agree." He said, somewhat worried.

 

[Dragonson]

Slowly, as more people entered the room, the mechanism in the room's middle started moving.
Light started shining from it, and a low humming came from the floor.
Then there was a sound of metal hitting metal, and the process started over.
This repeated itself six times before stopping completely. At this time cracks had appeared in the floor near the mechanism.

 

[-Peper-]

"Look what this thing have done.." Agron walked towards the crack, touching and examining it.

 

[Dragonson]

Upon Agron's touch, the mechanism attempted another try.
But the same thing happened once more.

A horrible grinding noise gave away that further damage had been done under the floor.

 

[L2love]

"It may be effected by weight if you can fly do so now." Sameal told the others.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

*Meyla is now conscious*

"ASHEN!" The scream tore from Meyla's mouth with the force of an unforeseen storm. The pain in her emerald, bloodshot eyes was distressingly evident, her absence from the world of the conscious had been far from bliss and sweet dreams. Cold sweat clung to every inch of her skin, which in turn had paled several shades. Wheeling wildly about the Faerie seemed to be searching for something, or... someone.

 

[-Peper-]

''Yeah yeah whatever you want.'' Bored, Agron tried to fly, hover above that mechanism then touched it multiple times. ''Do you like that, strange mechanism?''

 

[Dragonson]

As soon as Agron left the floor, the mechanism started again.
This time, the process continued after three tries.
A great light shone from the mechanism, and a chessboard-like patter suddenly became visible on the floor, creating zones of black and white on the floor.
With a loud creak, the great door opened.
Behind it was only darkness to be seen, but somewhere in there another mechanism started, the sounds of it's rusty gears echoing through the arena.

 

[-Peper-]

''Chess board?'' Agron said ''Looks like we're gonna play a game.''

 

[Fussiler1]

''Chess? I love chess.'' he mumbled, a bit amazed as he stared at the board.
''So.. who's going to play?''

 

[Dragonson]

Slowly, something moved out of the dark.
Ekiron, Samael and Meyla immediately felt the horrible corruption surrounding it.
Meyla realised what it was faster than the others, as she recognized the taint of the Entity.
The dreaful power that could only really be described as 'Wrong'.
The thing's dark aura immediately started stabbing at the minds of the adventurers as it walked into the arena.

It was a golem. An old one.
Made from stone and iron, the spinning gears inside it visible through a hole in the chest where a human's heart would have been.
It was around two and a half meters tall, and a single, purple eye looked down upon the group from a horned stone head.

 

[GunSlinger]

Leo gazed at the large automaton.
"A golem? Are we gonna fight again? This is getting tiresome."

 

[-Peper-]

''Learn to enjoy fights.'' said Agron to Leo.
Without any thinking, he unsheated his axe, ran towards the golem and trying to attack it.

 

[L2love]

Sameal breathing began to get faster as the corrupted Golem entered "Let's see if David can over come Goliath." Sameal unsheathed his weapon preparing for a retaliation attack from it.

 

[Dragonson]

Before Agron could reach the golem, it made a strange gesture towards him with it's right arm.
Instantly the white field that were below Agron at the time started glowing, and a force field shot up from it to prevent Agron from leaving that exact spot, trapping him.
