[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.]

[ Sonic is lucky he talked rather than just walking up. The knight's free hand curls up inside an area that would be more or less protected by the sword that gets lifted in automatic response - odd, unless anyone remembered that Duke had magic.

There's a little bit of an irritated exhale and the knight sets to moving that log. ]

So, nothing going to try to follow you back then?

[ Since the shrubbery seems thick enough, that's going to be one wall. ]

[While the trio has their talk and inspects things, kicking the log will eventually yeild another cache of about 20 shards. But the important part is that eventually the log will start rolling, and it will roll all the way down the bluff, eventually crashing into a tree.

If the trio follow the log, they'll find the way to the bog.]

[Colin cringes as the log goes rolling down the hill. It's not quiet, and it's not subtle. On the plus side, any wildlife around is probably totally freaked out by the ruccus it causes...]

Well, that should give us some room...

[He looks off after the log for a moment, wincing as it crashes into the tree]

Really hope something wasn't living in there...

[fastest_thingalive]

Hey, neat!

[Sonic went to pick up the shards, before looking back at Duke]

Yeah well, I kind of left skidmarks all across the landscape, so if we need to follow that back, we can... Hold on a second.

[Sonic dashed down to the tree where the log crashed, and then back again in literally seconds]

... there's a bog nearby, for the record.
