Date:


«Plot» Dalton says, "Dalton is doing a R4 AQ for Spell Insight into Influence"
«Plot» Pyre says, "Pyre is doing an R4 Spell Insight AQ into Powerbolt"

The Threshold is like it always is, dark and empty, the dweller will make his presence known soon enough, but for now, you are both suspended in nothingness, the only thing you can see is each other.

Dalton smiles as he looks to Pyre "First, we have to get past the dweller, he will try to rattle you, say something to upset you, you just have to use your mind to resist him, don't let him get to you, and you'll be fine."

Pyre seems nervous, this is the first time she's ever done anything like this before. "What, what happens if I fail?" she asks Dalton.

Dalton shakes his head "Thats not a good idea, you can die here, this is very risky, so don't try for anything too hard."

Pyre nods, "I'll do my best" she replies, standing there waiting for the Dweler to show up.

The Dweller appears, a living flame of fire this time, but with blue flames for eyes and a mouth, inside a red bright larger flame "Good evening travelers, its so nice to have company. Of course, you really should go home, you both will regret coming here today. The man lies to the woman, to protect her, how special, and the woman lies to herself, its a sad tragedy, all of you, swept up in deciet, all of it will crumble around you one day. Go home now, before I have to spank you for lying."

Dalton shakes his head "Words, thats all you ever throw at us, and we know the power of words, you are simply lying to us as well, we are here to learn, and we will not turn away from this."

Pyre blinks for a moment but stares the Dweller down, "I am not leing to myself, I would be foolish to do so" she replies. "We are here to learn" she ads.

The dweller speaks "So be it." Then, all is dark again as he vanishes. When light returns, you are in a room, its a cave actually, and the only light you can see is from the flaming elementals in front of you both. The come at you suddenly, charging forth with thier flaming bodies.

Dalton raises his hands and manipulates the mana binding the spirit together, he rips and pulls at the strands, sending the spirit back to its home plane, which in this case, is here, so it probably wont be gone long.

Pyre seem's taken off guard, and seems to strugle, but manages to gather herself. She looks at the elemental and closes her eyes, doing as Dalton did and banishing it. When her eyes open she looks to be sweating a little now.

Dalton looks to Pyre "Well, thats the first test, that was fairly hard, lets hope it gets easier from here on out." He looks around the cave, then points to what looks like a light in the distance "Lets get going."

As you near the light, you see it is another fire elemental, but this one simply stands guard in front of a doorway. As you approach it raises one flaming hand. "Halt, you must prove your worth to get past me, tell me why I should let you pass."

Pyre looks at this thing, "Let us continue down the road that is our birth right, you have no right to keep it from us."

The Fire Elemental simply nods, and moves aside the door. Gesturing for you both to enter "Take care on your journey." It says.

Dalton moves forward and opens the door, heading in first.

In the next room of the cave, it appears there is a massive lake of lava, with a small path heading into its center. Out on the center of the path, you can see another fire elemental, this one holding a spear made of flames. "Come! I will not let you pass with idle talk, and your magic is of no effect to me, face me in battle if you dare!"

Dalton runs forward, trying to defeat the creature before Pyre can be hurt, he leaps at it, throwing everythign he can into one mighty punch. As he hits, the fire sears at him, but does not hurt him, but the creature is somewhat resilant, and as it staggers back, it thrusts its spear out towards Pyre.

Pyre trys to dodge out of the way, but unfortunatly..the yelp from here, and the blood shows that she was too late. As she ends up standing there holding a cut, that has torn her shirt across her stomach.
«Plot» Pyre says, "here should be *her"

Dalton quickly moves after the figure, hitting it repeatdly until its very form begins to dissapate, finally he gasps for breath and turns around to check Pyre "Are you alright?"

«Auto-Judge[]» Dalton (#8435) rolls 2 (to Frostlog) for "Next Place, from Battle to?":

Pyre nods,holding the cut on her stomach with her hand, which is now bloody. "Yea..yeah I'm ok" she stammers in reply to Dalton.

Dalton helps Pyre up, then leads her farther along the path through the lake of Lava, as they both reach the other side, there is another door in the cavern wall. This one has two locks on it, and each lock has an intraciate pattern on the door next to it, a pattern that moves when touched. Dalton looks to Pyre "This is a puzzel, we have to figure out what the pattern represents.." he starts to study the pattern for a while "Could be a spell, mine looks like a spell I know actually, what about yours?"

Spell Design / Rating M Physical

Dalton manipulates his pattern, forming the pattern of a spell he has already learned, finally there is a clicking noise as his door unlocks, he turns and watches Pyre.

«Auto-Judge[]» Dalton (#8435) rolls 2 (to Frostlog) for "Next Place, from Knowledge":

Pyre shakes her head no, "Not entirely, it looks like someting I was studying.." she manages to wrap the pattern around but only for a moment and loses it, as a shock hits her and she yelps again grabing her head.

Dalton moves over to grab Pyre "Are you alright? Can you go on?" he seems concerned "We use my door, come on, it cant be much farther."

Pyre looks at Dalton, panting and holding her head. She doesn't speak but she does give him a nod yes, that she will go on.

As the door opens, you step forward into a dark cave, in the distance, you hear a screaming, a cry for help! Its a womans voice, and Pyre recognizes it as Watons "Help me! They are eating me alive!!" She screams again…

Dalton turns and looks to Pyre "I guess we have to help them." and with that, he starts running up ahead towards the sound.

Pyre's face goes pale, and she yells out "Wanton!" as she bolts onward past Dalton.

Up ahead, the light illuminates a room, its covered in, beetles, little angry red beetles, in the middle of the room lays WAnton, screaming and tied down with chains, the beetles climbing all over her, biting at her skin, blood flows frmo wounds here and there, and you cannot get to her without simply wading through the beetles, and getting bitten yourself.

Dalton jumps forward into the mass of writhing beetles, hurring towards the chained up WAnton, he knocks beetles off the woman, then begins casting spells at the chains that bind her, the shackles bursting with the impact of the powerbolts.

Pyre bolts up to Wanton and wades through the beetles, with Dalton's help she picks her up and pulls her out of the beetles. Of course, they bite her all over and she grits her teeth.
You both work to free Wanton from the beetles, and as soon as the last chain is burst from magic, the scene suddenly fades. You are again in blackness for a moment, then suddenly you stand in a vast library, no people, only infinite books.

Dalton glances around and grins "Well damn, we made it, this is the citadel, guess we find a book on what we want to study, and get to reading. Congrats Pyre, you made it!"

Pyre is still looking at her hands, now realising it was not real. She crys lightly, and then looks up at Dalton and nods slowly heading in to find the book she wants.
