day 117 :: Core Event

[bastionpc]

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.]

[Admittedly, a huge dragon carrying the core would be awesome. That would be a lot safer than having one person run ahead with it and play 'dodge the monsters.']

I could probably get you some rope, though we only have so much of it right now, so you'll have to use what we have.

[wayofvoice]

Anything that you could spare would have my appreciation.

[bastionpc]

Sure thing.

[Paarthurnax has acquired rope! Though he will likely need help tying anything to himself.]

[wayofvoice]

[Fortunately, Paarthurnax has managed to make quite a few friendly acquaintences since arriving at the Bastion. With the rope carefully held between his large fangs, he takes off towards a familiar ponytailed young girl.]

Aoi. Dream. Would you spare me your assistance?

[amphibian]

Sure thing! [Aoi quits practice-swinging her new weapon—a spiked club the same size as a baseball bat from the Forge—and places it down at her feet so she can take the rope.] For the bag, right? Duck a li'l more so I can reach!

[wayofvoice]

Greh, that is right. [He lowers his head appropriately and waits for her patiently.] Do you plan to venture out as well?

[amphibian]

[She loops the rope over and makes a knot that's more like a cluster of them, but it's secure even if unattractive.] Got it! Is that okay? [Just to be sure, she gives the ends a few tugs.]

Yeah, definitely! I've gotta do my part to help everyone, too! And I'm better prepared for trouble this time. [She picks the club back up and holds it out.]

[wayofvoice]

[He gives an experimental little shake of his head before seeming to become satisfied.] It will do well.

A more blunt weapon than I would have attributed to you, Zosiilkoz. Still, what brings us through another day is never something to be dismissed. Would you wish to travel with me once more as we go in search of this core?

[amphibian]

Yeah, but I know how to use this one, though! I play baseball. [She hops back a few steps, turns a little, and swings it hard across the air.] Homerun! Hehehe. [She puts it back down, though—she still hasn't figured out how to just idly hold it without being completely paranoid of jabbing herself with the spikes. Fun weapons probably don't exist, but this one is particularly un-fun.

Of course, she perks right back up at the offer.] Yeah, absolutely! I bet it'll be no problem with us working together again!

move the thread to the bluff then?

[wayofvoice]

I do not understand, but if that is what makes you more at ease, then it is a good choice.

[At the acceptance, he stretches out his wings as much as he can without knocking anyone over before pulling them back in.]

Then we shall meet at the Open Plains, and take to the air there.

[He doesn't want to knock anyone done with his takeoff.]

sure thing! do you mind getting it, or i can tomorrow morning (it is so bedtime rn though)

[amphibian]

Haha, maybe I'll show you how sports work sometime! The point is that a home run is super good, though.

All right! Heh, that core's as good as ours already! [She picks the bat back up and kind of...awkwardly holds it just off to the side before she starts walking. She'll figure out what to do with it eventually.]

[wayofvoice]

[And away they go!]
