Spark to the Flame - An MtG Game (IC)

[Amaril]

Arin

The others bustle about examining features of the architecture, but most of their curiosity is lost on Arin--he simply stands in the middle of the balcony, mouth agape as he peers up and tries to make out the height of the ceiling far above. He'd always thought the main cavern of his home village had been as big as a cave could get; never had he imagined something like this. A small part of his mind that still holds on to reason wonders at the size of the construction all around. Could we...? No... He'd heard stories of the lands of the giants in the far north, but no one ever claimed to have seen them. Yet he can't imagine anyone normal-sized building something like this...

Wait...why's the noise getting louder?

Slowly, he turns around, toward the source of the sound. He'd thought it was just rocks falling from the tremors--so why does it make his stomach twist like that? "Uh...guys?"

Juri

Juri doesn't look up. She knew all too well how these things worked.

If there was an enemy near her, waiting to ambush her and the others, it would almost certainly drop down to attack. The height and element of surprise would make them dangerous. Still, she could at least draw some attention to herself while the others were occupied with the moving bridge.

Juri drew her blade about a third of an inch out of its scabbard, letting a small bit of blue light out from the scabbard. Settling into her own combat stance, Juri closed her eyes, waiting for a moment when whatever was above them would attack.

[Xiagu]

Dawn-Fang

Dawn-Fang turns back towards the group and is momentarily taken aback by the sight of the bridge rising into the air. Got the bridge... working, I guess? At least Liandra didn't seem to be in any immediate danger.

"Does that bridge go down?" they ask, walking back to the center of the landing with everyone else. "There's something big under construction down there. Nobody else with it that I could see."

The kitsune glances around, and sees Juri and Arin tensed and wary. They set down their lamp, throwing long, wavering shadows up against the fountain and cliff wall, and step between Radek and the door. Dropping into their own combat stance, they draw their sword and gingerly draw their jitte, testing how it feels in their left paw.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Near the foot of the cave, as in a hundred feet down? That project must be on the large side to be visible from up here, then?
Oh, you said "scaffolding". Definitely large, then.

The balcony you are on hosts a long dry fountain, and a pair of brooding statues flank the stairwell you came from.

Does our balcony (or the bridge) have any railings? And where is this dry fountain relative to everything else?

The jitte is just a refluffed shield. Does the paw injury keep them from using it?

[miinstrel]

Darevod Transmuter, 8th Level Darevod jumps as the bridge and stones grind to life, backing away from the ledge in a somewhat cowardly manner, one you imagine originates with his size. "Magic, magic, too much... Can't see, can't SEE anything." Trundling to the fountain, Darevod sits against its stone exterior and pulls his tome out again. He flips through the pages to a particular passage and then concentrates intently on it while drawing a diagram in the air to his right. Spoiler: OOC Show Going to start casting Detect Magic as a ritual... finishes in 10 minutes if we are here that long. If not, well I guess he'll just have to try again later.

Radek HP: 59/59 AC: 17, Psi Points: 31/44, Psychic Focus: Third Eye "Whoa! That's cool!" Radek exclaims. "This spellwork is... Well, I'm not sure I understand all of it. Let's see if I can figure how to make it go down..." Radek starts testing how the bridge works, touching the rings on the pillar. He does glance over his shoulder. "Just, uhh... Give me a heads-up if something comes through the door." Spoiler: OOC Show Arcana/Investigation: (d20+8)[24], trying to figure out the controls, and how make the bridge go down. Switch Psychic focus to Precognition (advantage on initiative rolls).

[Xiagu]

Dawn-Fang

Dawn-Fang turns their head to smirk at Radek over their shoulder. "Don't be so hard on yourself. You humans aren't that bad at hearing," they say, a playful twinkle in their eye.

[Jangoose]

Liandra drops into a crouch as the bridge begins to move, steadying herself without much trouble. The bridge looks to be settling near a new pair of landings, the slats spaced into broad stairs descending from one of the closer balconies above the group to a large archway on the other side. Bands of heavy runic lettering marks the far side anchor as the Archive, and the close side as the Armory.

From the new vantage point, Liandra can see more of the surrounding balconies, and the deep cracks that have begun to form in the cave wall above the group. On the Armory landing another collapse has covered much of the entry in rock and rubble.

The bridge starts to move again as Radek manipulates the rings, aligning one end with the Arcanarium, then another with the Cellar, then back again. With a bit of testing, Radek verifies his suspicions, that the markings on the rings represent an addressing system. Two unique endpoints to determine a bridge configuration.

The skittering noise gets louder. Arin flinches, Juri and Dawn-fang tense, hands drifting to their blades, and Radek and Darevod carry on investigating. The artifice here is so unique and fascinating. They aren't about to be distracted just yet.

@Darevod: You begin the ritual as you would normally, but once you begin to concentrate, you find some of the usual crutches are unnecessary. Since you woke up you've been more attuned with the flow of magic around you, and you find you can sense concentrations of magic around you without really exerting much effort. The fountain itself registers a magical nature, but not a particularly strong one, likely just residual magic from its creation, or perhaps from whatever fluid used to flow through it.

For a second, a tense stillness stretches on. Hands and paws still gripping blades, while in the background, Radek mumbles excitedly to himself as he fidgets with the pillar.

With a resounding crash, you all look up, just as the pile of rubble on the armory landing bursts outwards, sending a shower of rocks careening down to you.

@Liandra: As the haze clears you see a statue standing where the rock pile was. No, not a statue, a construct! A dark stone golem, a hulking ogre of a figure, with two massive tusks, and a great stone maul covered in glowing runes. It turns and in one smooth motion steps off the side of its platform plummeting the distance to where the rest of the group awaits. The landing buckles and cracks beneath it where it lands on one massive plated knee.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

A reminder that a base use of the color point system is to be able to detect concentrations of mana intuitively. You can gain complex information about colors of mana you are aligned with, and more general information about the rest. For information beyond that, you are of course still able to cast the full spell as normal.

Dex saves to avoid rocks for the 5 on the platform please. Juri, Dawn-fang and Arin have advantage on the checks due to their heightened awareness.

Liandra's bridge currently has her above and to the side of the main platform, not quite directly over, but close enough she could most likely make the jump.

For combat we will roll initiative and then you are welcome to describe your actions in any post order. I will do my best to synthesize all the different parts together in initiative order, but in the interest of keeping the posts moving I don't want to restrict what order you have to post in.

Feel free to include conditional statements in your posts if you'd like to have your actions reflect things the others might do.

Arin

Reflexes kicking in, Arin hits the dirt as soon as the explosion erupts, arms over his head to shield himself from falling debris. As he hears the last chunks fall, he quickly rolls and recovers his feet...and freezes at the sight before him.

A giant?

It only takes a second to notice the stone joints--not a giant, a golem--but that hardly makes it any less terrifying. Every instinct screams run, even as Arin catches sight out of the corners of his eyes of Dawn-Fang and Juri taking up fighting stances. They're insane...they can't hurt this thing with swords... He should run, they should all run, there's no way they can fight something like this...but his legs won't move. Unable to act, he stands rooted in place, time seeming to slow as the construct hefts its hammer...

[miinstrel]

Darevod Transmuter, 8th Level As Darevod leans into his book he starts noticing the magic instinctually and between the text and the auras swirling up from the fountain's interior, he is caught completely off guard by both the rocks and new arrival. As the floor shakes with the impact his muscles freeze and he ducks down behind the stone lip, replacing the tome into his pack. Intent on hiding there, as the others engage the gigantic beast Darevod conjures up his own internal rage and lets loose a gout of flame from his hand that streaks forward toward the construct. Spoiler: OOC Show Assuming others engage with it... Firebolt: (1d20+8)[22] Dmg: (2d10)[6] fire

Radek HP: 59/59 AC: 17, Psi Points: 31/44, Psychic Focus: Precognition Radek quickly stands up and spins around to face the golem. "Damn it! Looks like we won't be escaping so easily. Looks like an Izzet creation..." The tall mystic points a finger towards the monster, and a red lance of energy streaks towards the golem. Radek nods to Darevod. "Always been partial to fire myself as well." Radek glances at the young man, Arin. He seemed terrified, probably never been in a real fight before. Radek sighs, and sends a telepathic message, or more of a shout, to him. "Kid, focus! If you just stand there, you're gonna get squished!" Spoiler: OOC Show Attack with Energy Beam: (d20+8)[24] Damage: (2d8+5)[10] Fire damage.

Dawn-Fang
HP: 46/68

Dawn-Fang whirls around at the sound of the crash, and tries to shield their face as rocks rain down around them. This is becoming a recurring theme...

"Wasn't the door, but you might wanna look up," they say, as if Radek somehow didn't notice the rocks or ground-shaking impact.

Seeing Juri already diving in against the creature, Dawn-Fang rushes forwards to assist. Their ears are flattened back, the fox a bit apprehensive about how much their sword could accomplish against a hulking beast of stone.

Halting midway to the golem, Dawn-Fang raises their voice and weapons in the casting of a spell.

Liandra considers drawing her bow, or attempting to throw acid at the thing, but she'd always been better with a blade in hand. Not allowing herself to think of what may await her should she fall she takes a few steps back before making a running leap back to the platform.

Juri

As the rocks fell around her, Juri sidestepped effortlessly, drawing her longsword and holding it with both hands. The others would easily be able to make out the soft blue sheen given off by her blade.

As the golem landed near her, Juri immediately charged for it, ducking to its side to deliver a smashing blow with her sword. Immediately, Juri followed up her attack with an elbow strike and a roundhouse kick.

Whatever this creature was, it probably wasn't going to help them,and Juri wasn't going to wait around to see if it did

Rock rains from above, striking Darevod and Dawn-fang with a rain of jagged shards. Despite the chaos, Arin manages to dive to safety, a defensive reflex built from years in the Ascended mines, while Radek ducks behind the pillar to avoid the worst of the debris.

Juri barely breaks her stride as she effortlessly sidesteps through the barrage of rock.
Before the dust has even settled she is already leaping, shimmering blade in hand. Cutting through the air, she rolls into an upward swipe, her blade clashing off the golems side as it begins to rise to its feet. A flicker of worry crosses her mind as her followup blow glances off as well, but she brushes the thought aside. Centering herself, she sweeps wide with a broad kick, slamming a foot into an exposed knee joint with a solid crunch.

The golem stumbles.

Dawn-fang rushes out to join Juri, paws tracing a blessing in the air, while Darevod and Radek lob spells of fire and energy from behind cover, blasting away at the constructs tough plating.

As the golem falters under the assault, Liandra steels herself and charges, leaping powerfully from the edge of the bridge, blade in hand. With a crash she lands on the golem's back stabbing her blade between its shoulder plates, the blade's dark energy tearing at the joint. Dropping to the floor, she pivots, slashing again. Empowered by Dawn-fangs blessing, the cut strikes true, leaving a deep gouge in the plating.

Juri continued with her assault against the golem, swinging twice with her longsword, and bringing up her knee to strike against the golem.

Arin

The bottom drops out of Arin's stomach as Dawn-Fang, Juri, and Liandra all rush at the construct. Any moment, he expects to see their blades clang harmlessly off its stone construction, and then that hammer smashing them aside like toys--but to his shock, they actually manage to make it stumble, their attacks finding joints, lights and mists weaving around their swords. And then Radek points at it and fire erupts from his hand and where it hits, the stone breaks...

Arin is still standing there, paralyzed and gaping at the scene unfolding around him, when Dawn-Fang moves to screen him. And all of a sudden, he's not here in this impossible place watching all these impossible things, but back with the resistance, facing down that drudge, and then Mira is in its path, spear raised...

"Kid, focus! If you just stand there, you're gonna get squished!"

It's enough to break the shock. Heading for the only cover he can see, Arin bolts for the fountain, diving behind the barrier to hunker down next to Darevod. Unable to resist, he raises his head just high enough to peer out at the battle. "This is crazy...this can't be real..."

Darevod Transmuter, 8th Level The Vedalken is grateful to not be the only one hiding behind something and flashes Arin a timid smile as he forms the words of his spell again, hurling another burst of flame forward in time with Radek's, the two sending a pleasant crackle across the stone of the thing's arm, before ducking down behind the stone again. "Never seen an automaton? Usually more gears, more steam, less stone, but alllllll filled with aether." Darevod blathers. Spoiler: OOC Show Firebolt attack: (1d20+8)[22] Damage: (2d10)[13]

As the automaton stumbles, you press the attack, hammering it with blade and fist.

Juri dives deep, swords flashing as she whirls around, targeting exposed joints with surgical precision. Beside her, Dawn-fang darts in, to stab at the construct, shouting inspiration to the others as they do so. From the back, Radek lobs bolts of fire at the golem, its dark stone shell cracking under the explosive force.

As Juri swings her last kick, the construct snaps its hand up, blocking the attack, and grabbing the offending foot in its stony fist, before turning a burning glare on the rest.

Dawn-Fang grits their teeth and glares right back, their lips pulling back in a snarl as they weather the golem's mental attack. A quick glance confirms that everyone else made it through more or less unscathed. Well, almost everyone. Tsk...

Juri

Just as the mysterious creature attempted to grab Juri's foot in her hand, she reflexively drew her leg back in order to evade the creature. Somehow, being around the others steeled her against the wave of fear that she had felt wash over her. It wasn't something Juri was unused to - this was the type of magic the Kolaghan loved to employ - but it still would have caught her off guard.

Darkness creeps in at the edges of your vision as the construct glares you down. For a moment, all you can see is the blood red of those unblinking construct eyes.

Through force of will, Darevod ratchets up his mental defenses, blasting the creature with fire just as Liandra closes in for another slash. Her mind is shielded by a burning resolve so intense it spills over, filling your mind with that same determination.

Though she nearly falters, Juri manages to shake free of her opponent's grip, both mental and physical, buoyed by Liandra's presence. Throwing caution to the wind she vaults back into the fight.

Juri and Dawn-fang dash forward together, managing to land three solid hits between them, but the brute seems unphased by their attempts to hinder it. With each swing of your blades, the Golem's body gets weaker, its leg actuators visibly shaking, but the rage in its eyes grows stronger, threatening to drown out your senses.

In the back, Radek, frightened under the glare of the dark stone beast, attempts to grab at it with his mind. Make it go away! But his every effort goes unrewarded, unable to pin down the raging automaton.

With a metallic shriek of grinding metal the beast swings it's maul, impacting Liandra's armor with a sickening crunch. A follow-up fist grabs again for Juri.

The golems eyes burn with a fiery intensity even as its body breaks down, its stony exterior cracking under Liandra's assault. Two strikes rippling with a grim power slice open its torso, just as Radek sends a final burst of flame searing into the opening.

With a shudder, the golem falls to a knee. The lights of its eyes grow brighter and brighter, before exploding with a violent pop, a stream of blood red smoke pouring from the construct. Though you hope it is just a last vestige of the fear in your system, you can faintly make out faces in the billowing clouds, screaming in rage and pain.
