Final: Purple

[voidtreckermods]

It has been a long and exhausting trek through the underwater caverns, even in the rare times they surfaced onto sandbanks they are attacked by creatures from the sea.

But eventually they arrive, one last water filled tunnel and a short climb they arrive in an large dry cave. In the centre there is a marble plinth. On the ground nearby there is a shell bowl, intact luckily but toppled off to the side.

Fighting

More pressing however are the two shark head beasts and uncountable number of crabs in the cavern. It seems, no matter how exhausted the voidtreckers are their fight is not yet over.

Preparing the chamber

Though the chamber doesn't have all that much in it, what there is is in a mess. There has been a concerted effort to wreck the place. Ripped tapestries cover the walls and there are candles, some smashed, some just toppled. The place smells strongly of a mix of different smells as if oils had been poured out, indeed there are empty and smashed bottles around.

At some point during this fight their SCA's glow and through them they may hear some familiar voices. It seems there is more to do than just fight crabs and indeed clearing this mess might not be able to wait until the battle is over!

Clear the chamber and set things to rights! Whilst also fighting off an army of crabs!

"Sounds simple enough," Cassie says.

"We should stick close to them in case they want something more specific from us than that."

The perils of being short.

Re: Ifrit, better late than never

[laurefindil]

"That works," Glorfindel said, watching her torch the crabs. "A little early for the post-victory barbecue, though." Fortunately he was now flameproof. Though he wasn't entirely sure about the wetsuit.

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel laughed. "You could have just made something up and I never would have known, you know."

He fished out one of his spears. The point was a little worse for wear, so he used his sword to quickly put a new point on it. "After you," he offered.

[laurefindil]

He looked down at the dead sharkbear. "Or...we could move these dead bodies out of the center of the room?"

[laurefindil]

"Hm." Glorfindel looked up at the space in question. "How high up does it need to go? If you stood on my shoulders, would that be high enough?"

[oripyrothy]

"You think this is a barbecue? You haven't seen nothing yet!" You mean anything, Ifrit.

Still, she punctuates her words by turning up the heat. Flames intensify, and even start licking back towards Ifrit, her skin blistering from the heat. Her flames would eat away at any fire-resistance (including what meager resistances Ifrit herself has) so be careful about getting too close.

Willing to burn herself up to get the monsters? Yep. She calls it Scorched Earth.

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel looks at the priests and other VoidTrekkers coming up behind them. "Careful of backburn," he said. "It's fine to cook the enemy, but we wouldn't want to cause any issues with our friends."

"You...aren't affected by your own fire?" he asked hopefully, seeing the flames start to lick back at her.

[cassiefuckingcage]

Cassie smiles a little in spite of herself.

"That works, too. Probably shouldn't forget the missing head, either."

The way he seems to naturally take charge, Cassie guesses Glorfindel must be a leader or commander back home. Certainly he'd make a good officer in her own universe.

"Okay, it means the Awesome One," Reno said with a light laugh. He shook his head.

He mimicked a bow with a flourish of his hand and then started walking calmly towards the second shark-head. Then suddenly he dashed forward, trailing the light of electricity from his baton once more.

[laurefindil]

"Naturally," Glorfindel responded dryly. "Who knows what trouble it will cause if we forget our head."

He looked over the beast in front of them as he put away his sword. He'd already wiped it clean, of course, as well as the tonfa. "Thank you for the loan," he said handing it back. Then he bent down and picked up the shark tail and started dragging the thing. While elves were stronger than they looked, the dead monster was rather heavy.

[laurefindil]

"Think I'll just keep calling you 'Reno' for short," Glorfindel said, laughing too.

He was right behind Reno, bounding up once again as though Elves and gravity only had a passing acquaintance.

[cassiefuckingcage]

Cassie returns the tonfa to its proper position and heads to the bearshark's side to grab it by the shoulders.

"This looks like a two-person job."

[aablublublu]

She thinks it over for a moment, but only for a moment.

"Shouldbeenough." Dignity is for when lives aren't on the line.

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel nodded. "Some monsters are harder to carry than to kill." He carefully stepped around a still flailing crab. "Others, less so."

"How about up against that wall over there," he asked, pointing with his chin. It was near the entrance, so away from the altar, yet out of the way.

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel agrees. He knelt down next to a rock that, if she used it, should allow her to easily mount his shoulders. "How's this?" he asked.

[cassiefuckingcage]

Cassie nods. "Should be good enough. We're only looking to clear the room, not set up a picnic."

She takes a last glance at the beast before beginning her way back toward the other one.

[laurefindil]

"I certainly wouldn't invite them," Glorfindel said with a grin.

" You have military training?" He asked, following her to the other former m9nster.

[cassiefuckingcage]

"Yeah," Cassie says. "A whole lot of it."

She grabs this one by the shoulders. Some of the oozing has subsided from where its head used to be, but she figures it might as well be her who grabs the messy end. In for a penny, in for a pound.

"You seem like you're an officer yourself."

[theturksway]

"Sounds good."

Reno preformed an attack as he dashed past the creature. Then turned around to face it. "How quick do you think we can make this one?"

[sendiintheclown]

Trowa nodded at the order, turning his back to the smaller boys. "Nothing will get past me." His voice was flat and serious, fully intending to make sure he was telling the truth. He had knives at the ready, and was willing to die if he had to.

I think we can take it in two or three tags! :D

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel brought his sharp pointy stick down and jabbed it in the closer eye of the sharkbear, and used the stick itself to propel himself past as well, managing to avoid being clawed. Landing softly, he grinned at Reno. "Since it's us, pretty quick."
