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

[mato2]

OOC: it is for those that don't

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: All I know is speedbreaker

 

[Arcisal]

OOC: I didn't....

IC: "Wait!" roared Arcisal. Chasing them might lead us right into a trap, but nevertheless, Arcisal sprinted towards Meyla in hopes of catching up with the faerie.

 

[Dragonson]

As Meyla and Arcisal charged down the corridor the rest of the group heard a creaking sound behind them.
Then the great gates that allowed them to leave the Arena slammed together, blocking the way back.

 

[L2love]

"Looks like the only way is forward like something is leading us." Sameal looked back at the gates being closed on them.

 

[-Peper-]

''No way back, as always.'' Agron proceeden through the corridor quickly.

 

[GunSlinger]

Leo sighed at the dilemma and walked deeper into the corridor.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: By the way people, i'm doing a serious nerf of inspiring pressence and a minor nerf of Battle Veteran.
Anyone that doesnt like the changes and has one of the the feats can swap it for something else.

IC: As the group ran down the corridor the fleeing warriors suddenly disappeared into thin air.
When the group reached the place they had disappeared, they found nothing special whatsoever.
The corridor just went on and on, into what seemed like an endless tunnel.

 

[-Peper-]

"Where'd they go?" Agron said as he examined the tunnel.

 

[Fussiler1]

Suddenly he stopped and frowned. ''Wait, I'm hearing something.'' he said while looking around, looking for an outside source of the sound. Finding none, he concluded it was indeed in his mind and let the muffled voice speak.

 

[Dragonson]

As soon as Illios gave the voice inside his mind frredom to speak a stream of words flowed through his head.
Words speaking of mirrors, illusions, smoke and spirits.
He raised his hands to his ears as if to hinder this stream of words, and as he did the others saw his eyes undergo a change.
His pupils disappeared, and his irises seemed to blend in with the white area around them.
Both his eyes were now entirely white like those of a blind man, but whatever had caused this was not finished.
Instead of his irises and pupils appeared a strange circle of runes which was rotating slowly.
Then the voices in Illios' head stopped. He removed his hands from his ears and looked up.
EVERYTHING, was diffirnent.
He looked around in amazement.
They werent inside the corridor anymore, they were in some kind of underground jungle.
He looked behind him and saw the entrance to the corridor not far behind them.
All around them huge trees shot up from the ground, which had changed from rock to dirt, and right in front of them was a huge thorn-bush.

While he looked at all this in amazement his companions stared at him in confusion.
DM: Illios gained the 'Spirit Vision' feat.

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: Details spirit vision?

He staggered back and his mouth fell open in utter amazement, in the sight of a beauty which was unmatched in all of his life. It all felt strange and he didn't understand what had happened. Illios just stared at the enviroment around him, the proud and tall trees, the thick bush, decorated masterfully with thorns. All of this was a work of art and he was the first spectator to see it! Truly, he felt honored and asked himself: was he, too, changed? He could only wonder and his shift gazed to his compagnions, to see their face expressions. He chuckled at their confusion and then focused on the bush. What was that supposed to mean? Was it just a bush? He would find out soon enough, he guessed.
Illios then just sighed and shook it off him -- returning to his own, sarcastical self.
''Okay, now that's done.. anything else? No? Then let's move, aye?''

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Nope.
And man, your character is being such a jerk right now.

EDIT: I found it kinda hard to describe how Illios' eyes looked, by the way. So i made some rough concept art to show what i mean.

ART

ALso, the nerf on Inspiring Pressence and Battle Veteran has been done.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: Where are you guys?
IC: ''Yeah yeah, whatever.'' he started piss off right now.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Hmm... I'm starting to wonder if we're gonna have theese dead periods every week.
What's going on guys? You just not feeling like playing or is this a period where you dont have much time to come online in?

 

[Phoonix]

OOC: I personally am in the middle of my exam period and right now don't really know what to post :/ I'm in an inspiration dip, so I started playing minecraft. xD

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: I kinda find that at times we reach these points where it doesn't make sense to post, there's no obvious thing to do - I'm active but I really feel awkward posting anything after the above for some reason.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: Can we just move on then ?

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Well, if noone feels like posting anything i can pull some DM magic.
But please do inform me when you are in a such situation. In my opinion that's one of those times that using OOC is OK.

I'l wait until abit later today, and if noone has done anything i'l push you abit forward.

 

[L2love]

OOCersonally for me I'm in finals week so that's my reason.

 

[mato2]

OOC: it seems kind of pointless to me to write: Daegor moves down the hallway over and over, the group atm is moving down the hallway now we're waiting on you to tell us what happens next

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: No, the group stopped for a few reasons.
One thing is that they saw the bandaged warriors disappear, and another thing is that something happened to Illios.

But well, if your character continued walking i will post according to that...

IC:
While the others of the group stopped, Daegor continued walking.
He moved just a little further than the place where the bandaged warriors had disappeared when he hit something.
Some sort of invisible barrier... That stung. Small cut opened on his arms as he hit whatever-it was, and if he tried to push against the barier more appeared.

 

[Arcisal]

OOC: Well, it seems odd that no one else is posting. Besides, I've been spending loads of time on learning Unreal Engine.

IC: Arcisal hurried forward to meet his old friend. "Cuts! The barrier must have some sort of resisting enchant placed upon it, no doubt by a powerful spellcaster. We must be wary from now on, this tunnel proves to be more and more surprising each time..."

Arcisal observed the cuts on Daegor's arms. They were clearly not physically induced, only magic could do such a thing. But an attempt is nevertheless fine. Focusing inward, Arcisal murmured a bit as he tried to heal or kill the pain in the cuts on Daegor's arms.

 

[Dragonson]

DM: Minor Action. No roll Required.
Arcisal slowly closed the small cuts on Daegor's arms.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Meyla brushed past the Daegor and Arcisal, stopping just in front of where the barrier appeared to be. She pursed her lips. "Is this intended to keep something in, or to keep us out? The way it cuts. They're far from fatal, it's merely a method of deterrent. I've got a strong feeling were getting dangerously close to our goal."

 

[mato2]

Daegor swung his mace at the barrier. At that point something gave him strength, something from within, he knew he was gonna hit hard, and focused al his energy into his mace.


OOC:
Attempting to use the warp gifted feat to enchant the mace and go through the barrier.

 

[Fussiler1]

''It's a bush.'' he simply commented, while staring in front of him.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: Is Wolfe still in this?
Meyla glared at Illios. "Got any bright ideas, sir?"

 

[Dragonson]

As Daegor swung at the barrier he didnt even get to enhance the swing with magic before he could feel whatever-it-was giving in.
The sound of breaking branches filled the air.

 

[GunSlinger]

OOC:
So Illios is the only one who can see the real place.

DM:
Leo walked past them before the barrier and gently closed his eyes, trying to send out a psychic wave through the area.

 

[Dragonson]

Before Leo could even get started something negated his spell.
He heard a silent laughter inside his head.

 

[Arcisal]

"A bush? Perhaps the elements shall aid us now..."

Arcisal concentrated on whatever invisible bush that now stood before the party. His arms were flexed but hung deftly by his side while at his hands, small sparks, small but yet unnoticeable, could be seen, while his shoulders were hunched. He concentrated inward, to find the heat, use it, bend it, to may way through out path.

The torches at the side were suddenly strangely larger, and more fiercer as well.

OOC: Using the elemental feat to burn the bush.

 

[Phoonix]

OOC: all that, for a bush...

IC: "a bush you say?" he frowned. "that seems... awkwardly out of place... can we walk around it?"

 

[mato2]

Seeing Arcisal's fiery display Daegor moved back.

 

[Fussiler1]

''The bush is huge. I'm not sure entirely sure if you can walk around it, to be honest.'' he answered. ''Thick, strong, defiant. Still, it's merely a bush in the jungle. Fire should work.''

 

[GunSlinger]

"Fire would work, if you wish to burn the place and us with it." He said sarcastically.
"Also, did anyone of you hear someone laugh?"

 

[Dragonson]

As Arcisal started channellling flame, a silent voice inside his head asked him if he REALLY wanted to use fire magic right now.
DM: Yes = Action will be Completed. No = Action will be called off. Answer in OOC.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: This means something very dangerous will be happen? Lol dunno.

 

[mato2]

Daegor stepped further back, he had a feeling something could go very wrong.
"Arci, you sure you wanna do this?"

 

[Arcisal]

OOC: Sure, why not. Not like there's another way.

IC: Arcisal nodded. It might possibly be the only way. As the heat in the air intensified, small embers could be seen on Arcisal's palms, embers brighter than usual...

 

[Dragonson]

A foreboding feeling hit the group.
As Arcisal started channelling flame, the world around them became blurred.*
And there was something else too... Arcisal felt it, they all felt it.
Something was trying to suppress his magic, something was trying REALLY hard. Magic was litterally thick in the air around them.
Arcisal felt whatever it was trying to pry it's way inside his head, and his psychic defenses went into action...
DM: Mind Duel: All pariticipants get 1 dice for every 5 will they have. The side with the highest total value wins.
Arcisal (13 Will): 2 dice: Roll: 6 and 1 (7).
Unknown Force (16 Will): 3 dice: Roll: 2, 3 and 1 (6).
...and he managed to push whatever it was out of his head.
The world around them got more and more blurry. Slowly the corridor's walls seemed to fade.
He concentrated on his channelling...
DM: Channelling Activation (DifLevel 2): Roll (1d6 +6 from Will and +2 from Inspiring Pressence (Ekrion)): 1 (9). Success!
...and flames burst forth from his hands.
He shot forward a burst of flame at the barrier, and a loud 'FWOOSH' was heard.
The something weird happened.
The walls faded into nothing, the barrier in front of them became visible, and the entire group saw where they was.
They were standing in an enormous underground jungle. Not far behind them they could see where they had left the tunnel.
The invisible barrier was a great thorn bush, now ablaze.
And as the group saw all this, the fire started spreading. Fast.

*Illios does not see the blurring.

 

[GunSlinger]

Leo looked around amazed at the jungle scene he was now in but saw the burning bush, fire spreading quickly.
"Quick we have to put this fire out!"
Leo held out his hand and tried to create a psychic barrier to suppress the fire by limiting the amount of air feeding it, around one part of the burning plants.

 

[-Peper-]

"What was that?" Agron repeatedly blink his eyes. As soon he finds out the 'invisible barrier' was only a bush, he started to calm for a second before he reacts again. "The fire's spreading. Can you put them out again?!" He said as he cuts down burning bushes.

 

[Fussiler1]

''Of course he can. A mage can surpress fire.

.. Right?'' he asked as he started to frown about his error in not mentioning the jungle. Had he really screwed up this time? He merely looked at the fire spread and prayed silently that a mage could surpress fire.

 

[Dragonson]

Before the two member of the group that were doing something could carry out their actions the fire reached them, and they had to step back.
The fire was spreading at an incredible speed now. It was like someone poured oil on it, burning swiftly in places it should not.

 

[Fussiler1]

''By the.. What the hell?'' he screamed out in amazement and terror. ''The fire is literally fed by the raw magic that's getting pumped here.''

 

[Phoonix]

"we have to get out of here!" Ekrion yelled. he then started to look around, searching for an exit of sorts. "we have to get out of here right now!"

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"Flyers?" Meyla muttered as she looked around for high, inflammable ground.

 

[mato2]

"Back to the tunnel?" Daegor looked around, it seemed like the only viable option.

 

[GunSlinger]

Leo spread his wings and ascended, looking around for an exit.
