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.]

No offense taken. You may recall that not all of us were injured. Some people prefer to rush headlong into battle and complicate matters. Others prefer to take a more cautious approach.

[ He sighs, rolling his shoulders to relieve tension. ]

If we can get close enough, Taisan could perhaps get the core himself. He is expendable. I can always summon him again.

[ Ignore the sullen hunching of the recently self-aware flaming bird nearby. ]

It is not up to him. He is my servant and only exists here because I wish it to be so. Under normal circumstances he would not exist at all, to be able to make his unnecessary complaints. He would have no form at all until i needed him.

I have, perhaps, been giving him too much freedom?

[ He asks with an imperious tone, arching a brow and glancing sidelong at the shikigami, who wisely says nothing and looks away as though something very interesting were elsewhere. ]

Regardless, he will do as I say. If it is possible, it is my intention to attempt it. Provided we even find the core in time.

Hm. Taisan does not need to breathe, however we have not thoroughly tested the distance we can be separated with him in a physical form. The length and breadth of the Bastion is as far as we have attempted.

Now might not be a bad opportunity. If he dissipates, he can return and tell me immediately.

However, I do not know of anyone else that does not need oxygen. I could write spells to purify the air around a person...though my arts are restricted. To what degree I cannot know without trial and error.

I dislike risking others for experimentation when there are so few of us.
