"Now... Are you ready to play?" IC

[truemane]

Aleister was still reeling with the pain and shock of the creature's touch. He felt cold and weak and violated. As though someone had reached down into his depths and taken a part of him away. Which is exactly what happened, I suppose, he thought to himself, Remember this, Aleister: it is a game, but you're not the one supposed to be having fun.

He shook his head to clear it. He felt slow and dull and... stupid.

"I can work," he said, finally, his voice a little lower than before, not as filled his usual unconscious arrogance, "I can work. What are you suggesting?"

[userpay]

T'risslyn arrives just in time, from following the voices, to see Aleister be touched and reel back. "Whats this now some sort of demon? I would think one would be more wary of such." Meanwhile his bird is further busy elsewhere.

um I forget exactly where the bird is right now but going off where we currently are back out into the room that thing was killed and send the bird down that eastern corridor.

"I'm not suggesting you can't, I just need to know you can. We need to get through the mine room, and something tells me your our best bet at doing such. So if you can work, follow me, we need to get back down to the mineroom. Ah, one last thing, Mara, you seem like an entertaining fellow, perhaps sometime in the future, we can sit and have a nice chat.?" With that finished, Carter begins walking back out and towards the mine room again.

With that finished, Carter begins walking back out and towards the mine room again.

Mara laughs, a horrible choking sound that does not seem mirthful in the least.

"I'll be looking forward to it dark one! You as well, Aleister. The rest of you should be more friendly... I won't bite unless you let me."

The creature giggles again, or at least tries to, then sinks further beneath the water.

The landmine room is much the way you left it. The sigil is still glowing ominously...

You see the same thing you did the last time the bird went that way. A door leading north, into dense mists. This is apparently the way Mara wants you to go.

Carter arrives in the mine room again, with Staking behind him. Both very alert and on edge due to the traps. Both seem to be awaiting the arrival of the trap-finder.

[mrcarter11]

Carter begins his trek across the room, using spiderwalk to traverse up the wall and across the room. Staking can simply float across.

[mrcarter11]

I traverse the walls, to get to the room with the fog. If I encounter any more enemies, I'll battle them as I go.

[Lix Lorn]

Emily follows him, floating above the ground.

[mrcarter11]

"Good to see another with me, we can head up to the fog room, and continue from there with his instructions."

[Lix Lorn]

She nods.
"Makes sense."

[CN the Logos]

The fog spills out of a hallway. It's about five feet wide and you can't see more than a few feet in front of you. It's also unpleasantly cold and damp.

You hear the crying again in the distance, echoing from somewhere to the east.

[Lix Lorn]

"Shouldn't we check that out..?" murmurs Emily.

[mrcarter11]

"Perhaps yes. I think we should try to get out of here first though.. Our group has dissappeared for the most part, and may not be coming back.. We need that key, currently."

Ready an action to attack with a maneuver the next time we are attack or effected negatively by something which can be attacked.

[Lix Lorn]

She nods slowly, looking around anxiously.

Assuming this is the hallway to go north in.. And it is the next round

"Let us continue my friends,"
With that, Carter turns into the northbound hallway and starts his trek across the wall and down the hallway.
