day 117 :: Core Event

Who: Everyone who wants to participate
Open: Open
When: Day 117
Where: Prosper Bluff --> Jawson's Bog
What: The PCs go hunting for a core, and get caught up in a dangerous situation
Format: log, action, etc.
Warnings: Some threads will contain triggering material. Those threads will be labeled as such in the headers.


[Some time has passed, and more people have arrived. It seems as though things have been turning around since the last hunt for a core. So when Nathaniel comes to tell everyone that another core has been located, and that they'll need to go get it, his somber attitude might seem a bit strange.]

Alright everyone, I'm getting an energy spike in the general area of Prosper Bluff, so I'm pretty sure a core is there. Unfortunately, I can't get an exact location on it, just a general area, so you're going to have to go down there and root it out yourself. It should be somewhere on the bluff, which will make for an easy recovery, since most monsters stay away from that area.

However, there is a chance that the core might be a bit further East, in Jawson's Bog. If it is, just leave it there. It is not worth risking your lives to go in there to get it.

[Everyone is free to talk to Nathaniel before leaving, if they want, or they can just be on their way. Either way, the NPCs will be waiting for them to return.]

[Nathaniel has probably realized that at some point a dragon has joined the ranks of the Bastion, but, well, if he hasn't... Paarthurnax is approaching him right now, pale eyes focusing on him.]

What makes this Bog so dangerous, if I may ask?

[Ippo adjusted the light armor underneath his clothing, jumping on the balls of his feet a few times to get used to the weight before he took on rechecking his hand wraps. A few tugs and a slight readjustment near his wrist later and he slipped his gauntlets on; slamming them together for alignments sake with a confident nod. He felt more optimistic about this trip...somehow he had the feeling that things were going to go a-ok, or at least he hoped.]

Well...what can you tell us about the area itself? The more we know, the better equipped we'll be to handle the situation, right?

[ Seimei had been standing off to the side, listening and watching without particularly interacting. He left a good deal of socializing to Kaoru and Taisan these days, slipping into old habits.

On the upside he'd been less moody by comparison, meditating on events and doing his favorite pastime - napping. Now another core was available and Kaoru had been showing more and more interest in endangering himself. It frustrated the onmyoji, but he would never deny the boy anything, regardless of how much he wanted to.

Watching the conversation with dragon had been interesting, and he was honestly relieved that great beasts were surviving the end of worlds as well. Yet his attention was not for fascinating creatures.

When there was a spare moment, he moved forward, bowing politely to Nathaniel and folding his hands in his sleeves. ]


Please tell me more about this bog. I understand your misgivings, but with cores as rare as they are for us, and with such large companions joining our cause, we will need more space and the only means of accomplishing this is cores, so far as we have found.

We risk our lives every time we go out - how is this any different?

[Ippo stayed towards the front of the group, his fists clenched tightly and his muscles firmly tensed in case they ran into any resistance. He was an in-fighter first and foremost; meaning that the faster he could get into an opponents space, the better off he'd be...it only made sense for him to be where he could do that. Not to mention that he'd rather himself take an injury before anyone else here...partly because he knew he could withstand the abuse, but mostly because he cared.

He might have felt a sense of good tidings at the Bastion...but now that he was here, those feelings were giving way to a nagging feeling in the back of his head; all of the times he had stepped foot out on to the skyway...something had gone terribly wrong. Would this time truly be different? He looked down at his fist and nodded to himself in affirmation...he would do his best to see to it.

[ Walking in calm silence with Taisan resting on one shoulder, Seimei kept the greater portion of his senses focused outward, beyond the immediate area. Ears strained, nostrils flared, lips slightly parted. He focused less on his eyes and more on other sensory input.

Before leaving the Bastion he had prepared several ofuda, weary of being unable to cast spells freely without such implements. The one he held before himself between two fingers was specifically for alerting them to the presence of anything alive - anything. Friend or foe was irrelevant anymore. Anything alive was worth investigating - or eradicating, in some cases. ]

[ Following along the main route and keeping in sight of the others was easy enough, and Seimei felt confident that as a group they were doing well enough, all things considered. No senseless bravado, no rushing into danger.

Yet.

Now the bog, and Nathaniel had warned them. Still, he had not arrived entirely unprepared, carrying spells written to cleanse the air - with any luck, though that was sparse of late - and of course, Taisan.

The shikigami hovered nearby, flapping his flaming wings lazily with a complete lack of interest until issued orders. ]


Well. I appears if we want the core we have little choice but to proceed. I volunteer, of course. I have spells that may help but I refuse to send others in armed only with uncertainty.

[ He withdrew a small stack of ofuda from a sleeve, gesturing vaguely. ]

Anyone that goes is welcome to try.

[Landing is going to be a tad... difficult for Paarthurnax. The bog is just too thick and full of trees. Not impossible, mind you, if he decided to put his full weight behind it, but that's not what he has in store. Instead, he keeps up in the air over them all. It's a pretty good view- perfect, in fact, for helping him spot all the beasts off in the distance. He calls down to those still on the ground.]

Beasts are approaching, quickly- we must leave.

[In theory, he could try and eat everything, but he doesn't want to risk Aoi's safety. Besides, he already understands that the Core is their priority. Now that it is in sight, the only thing stopping them is the four unconscious individuals.]

[Regardless of the choices anyone makes, Paarthurnax speaks again-]


Su Grah Dun!

[-with his Thu'um, the words getting right into the very being of those still conscious. They'll feel lighter, somehow, like they're the very wind themselves, and quicker especially when it comes to attacking. Not Sonic's level of speed, mind you, but something to make more than enough of a difference.]
