Synopsis: Dalton and Daniel go on an AQ, they hit all the places.
«Plot» Dalton is doing an R5 AQ for Spell Insight to Spirit Barrier
«Plot» Daniel says, "R4 Astral Quest, for Grade 2 Initiation. I'm fairly certain that means R4."
Dalton has been reaching out to the magical community, trying to find others who are interested in expanding thier knowledge and possibly working together to reach those goals. This evening is a test, to see how many show up at the appointed time and place to join together for an Astral Quest. Sure, the dweller is going to be a pain, but its also a bonding experience, sharing information. He settles down in the cot inside his lodge, activating the wards and then closing his eyes and stepping out of his body. He heads to the threshold and waits for the others, and the dweller.
The call of the metaplanes is odd when it happens, and on hearing about the request, Daniel is… intrigued. It has, after all, been quite some time since he's gone to find out any of the greater secrets. He checks some things, sets his trixaccess to go to a dropbox for the time being, and enters his Lodge.
The room is filled with an odd mixture of cultural symbols. Occult images you'd see in a Karl Kombatmage sim next to Quabbalistic symbols from the middle east. He ignores most of them for the time being, and goes to a small circle cleared for such an occasion. After a few minutes of prep work, the shaman lays down and prepares to head off to the metaplanes.
Its quiet when the two of you arrive, and before you have a chance to speak to each other the dweller appears as a giant floating head "BOOOOO!" it screams, the voice echoing through your mind louder than anything you have ever heard. Then the face starts to laugh "Ahhh, sometimes, its the little things that make it enjoyable. How are you two fine gentlemen tonight? Looking to expand your knowledge, seeking the secrets of the planes, well, sorry folks, we are closed tonight. I'm tired and I really don't feel like dealing with you, go away. Go cause the death of random innocents like you always do." At that moment, you feel pressure against you, its almost like something is trying to crush your will.

Dalton struggles against the oppressive weight that seems to come onto his mind, but he fights back, summoning his inner reserves and fighting back against the pressure "Not going to be that simple." he manages to remark "I've never backed down from one of these before, and I'm not starting this time."
"Really, I haven't been the direct cause of a death in /at least/ a month… your information is out of date," Daniel says, and then gets pushed back about half of a step. He frowns, and then a faint green glow appears around him like a bubble, only slightly deformed from the pressure being pushed against him from the Dweller.
The face glares at the two of you "Fine fine fine, go on, I hope you die." he sticks out his tongue at you then vanishes.

In front of each of you appears a door, the door is an intracate design of patterns that look vaguely familiar. The patterns look like they can be moved around, like one of those sliding puzzels. After a moment of studying them, you can tell its some kind of spell formula, but its in multiple pieces, and needs to be reworked.
Dalton looks over at Daniel and nods "Pleasure to meet you, I guess your the only one who came." he moves over to look at the door "Well, this looks simple enough." he murmers as he starts to move the patterns.

Dalton begins manipulating the puzzel, then jerks his hand back as he gets a mild shock at one point "Well, thats obviously not right." he continues to go back to work, manipulating the puzzel until it fits finally into place and the door clicks. He looks over to see how Daniel is doing.

Daniel nods to Dalton. "Yeah… it's been a while," he says, and then frowns at the odd formulae that appears before him. "Hmm… well, this is odd. It's got several different baselines for the pattern to build from. And… well, this is odd. It's got conflicting manalines? greek Water and Shinto Fire? That's not right… at all. But… Weird." He continues to mutter on like this for a little while, sliding some of the pieces around until they finally click together. "Huh," is all he can say to the correct pattern.
Dalton shrugs "Guess we go through." he reaches out and pushes open his door, stepping into the next place.
Daniel nods, and goes through the quick motions of what his puzzle represents. The firey water? Liquid flames? Whatever… Once they hit the door, it parts like a curtain, and the Shaman steps forward through it.
The next place as it is, is a small, almost tiny room, there is a single door on the other side. The two doors behind you close, and the place begins to fill with water.
Dalton blinks and looks down "Well, thats new." he moves across the room quickly and tries to open the other door, of course, it too is locked, and he cannot seem to get it open "I see no puzzel this time, or any key…."
You both feel the cold of the water against your feet, something that as an astral projection you would otherwise not notice, so it makes sense, that you need air here too.
Daniel looks around the tiny room and quirks an eyebrow. "So… now what?" he asks before stepping up to the door. He puts an ear up to it, and knocks on it lightly. For a second, a little bit of electricity dances across his fingers - stopping once he realizes that the water's already reached halfway up to his knee. "Lightning would be bad. Seriously. Ideas?"
Dalton steps back and nods "Well, we try blasting it I guess….hang on." He draws in mana energy, and a black hood and cloak covers his features, the cloak blows as if caught in a wind and he throws his hand out towards the door, mana energy lashing forth against the door itself.
«Auto-Judge[]» Dalton (#8435) rolls Willpower vs TN 3 for "Resisting D drain, not even rolling for the spell cause its going to fail :) Just need to soak the drain. Need 6 successes with Trauma Damper.":
1 1 4 4 5 5 5 8 = 6 Successes
The door does not budge as the spell impacts it. The water keeps rising, it is almost to your waist now.
Daniel looks at the door closely, and then looks below the water line for a moment. "Alright. I've got an idea, but… you might not like it," he says before rooting around in his duster for something. A moment later, he's got a half-meter stick in his hands… and a quick spin of it almost triples it's length. "You're gonna need to lay down while I try to pry the door open," he says. "Kind of a long shot, but I get the feeling physics is normal here."
Dalton arches a brow "Um, no, how about I just do this." he steps back, then concentrates, the black cloak and hood cover him again.

Dalton sighs, as, nothing happens "Well damn, its just really hard to make a small physical barrier." he gasps, then nods "Alright, whatever." he dives under and holds his breath.
Daniel waits for the man to dive down, and then jabs an end close to the bottom of the door. Once Dalton is on the floor, Daniel goes about trying to use him as a fulcrum.
Well, Dalton manages to hold his breath for a respectable amount of time. But no amount of effort budges the door, it just pushes Dalton down further in the water. Finally he raises a hand, then comes up for air, gasping "Thats not going to work." he stands up.
The water is now up to just under your chest.

The water, its, well, its not quite right, it may not even be water, it seems, well, thicker than water, at least when your in it, like its harder to move through than normal water, but just by a little bit.
Daniel glances at Dalton. "You wouldn't happen to have a way to get us out of this water, would you?" he asks. "I mean, it's either that, or eat electricity. Take your pick."
Dalton frowns "What do you mean? Your going to blast the water and evaporate it?"
«Game» Backup to offline storage commencing. Game may freeze for a bit…
Daniel shakes his head, and the electricity begins to flicker from finger to finger again. "Not quite. Water Spirits don't do lightning very well, and I don't feel up to the task of banishing it. Though if you'd care to asist…"
Dalton groans and switches to his astral perceptions, looking down at the water "Well whatever, banishment is simple, I can't belive I didnt notice this." He puts his hand down into the water, and makes a fist, focusing his will on the spirit thats trying to drown them.

Daniel nods to Dalton, and then glances down at the water for a moment. His eyes take on a faint white glow, and his fingers curl into something that looks akin to claws that tear into the water.
The spirit is shredded by the combined magical might, and dissapates, the water going with it. As the spirit dissapears, there is an audible click coming from the door.
Dalton glances to the door, then to Daniel "Who wants to go first?"
Daniel shrugs, and takes a quick peak through the door. "Hmm…" he says, before holding up a fist. "Match you for it?"
Dalton smiles "Well, I invited you to the party, guess I'll go first." he pushes open the door and steps through.
Ok, damn, its hot in here. Your assaulted by waves of intense heat, and thats it, just lots and lots of heat in the next room, at least, all you can see with your mundane eyes is an empty room thats almost glowing from the heat.
5tDaniel closes his eyes for a moment, going through the usual routine of opening his perceptions to the spirit world… even though that's where they are at the moment, in an effort to find out where the heat might be eminating from.
Yep…..Fire Elemental in the room, wouldnt ya know.
Dalton switches his gaze to astral perceptions and frowns "What, didnt we just do this?"
Daniel glances at the Fire elemental for a moment, and then offers it a little wave. "Heya… what's going on? Care to turn the heat down some?" he asks.

Dalton twists quickly as the spirit charges at him, he focuses mana energy into his hands and lashes out at the spirit, sidestepping and swiping at the spirit with the charged mana energy and scoring a hit against him. He grits his teeth, but does not drop his astral perceptions, ready to fight the spirit.

Daniel's aura flares and is surrounded by a faint shimmer of a winged being of some kind… claws, bat-like wings, looks like it's made of stone… Gargoyle in action. His hands weave an intricate pattern through the air, significantly slower than the other two move, but more… guided in their purpose, as though he knows where to place the blow before the elemental moves into his claw's path. And somehow, the ethereal claws cut through the flames before the fingers are even touched by them.
Dalton steps back, lowering his hands slowly and nodding "Nice work." he says to Daniel, then looks into the next room, stepping into it "A bit cooler now." he says, then looks around.
The next room is enormous, its like a cavern, and it goes on farther than you can see, just endless expanse in all directions. There is no apparent sign of which way you should go.
Daniel nods at Dalton, aknowledging his efforts as well, and stpes through the door… into the infinately large empty room. he spins around quickly, to find the door they just stepped through gone, as well. "Well, drek," he mutters, and then squints while looking around in other directions.
Two spirits appear before the duo, one dressed in blue, the other in red. They appear as children, and smile "So, are you going to play with us again?" they intone to Dalton, seemingly focused on him "Remember what happened last time!" the start to laugh.
Dalton frowns now, not really happy with the appearance of the spirits, his shoulders slump slightly and he nods "Yea, this time I'll play with you……" he seems a bit depressed at the moment.
Daniel raises an eyebrow at the other man but remains otherwise quiet. Then, he watches the odd children to see what happens.
The children both smile "Alright, what shall we play this time!"
Dalton looks to Daniel "Be careful, cast a spell at them, and they think the game is to shoot you, and last time I met them, they had human bodies, possessed, and the results of getting them out were fatal."
Daniel blinks slowly. "Um… kay," he says, and then watches the beings a bit more wearily than before. "So… what kind of game, then?" he asks.
Dalton shrugs "Thats up to us I guess, we have to entertain them somehow. Any ideas?"
After taking a moment to think, Daniel shrugs. "Hide and Seek? I'm not thinking of any way that could turn into being shot at…"
The two kids grin "Alright, hide and seek! Your it!" Then they both run off in different directions, very fast actually, they are gone out of sight in an instant.
«Game» Backup to offline storage commencing. Game may freeze for a bit…
Dalton blinks and looks around "Soooo, I guess we just start walking and see what happens."
Daniel nods before turning to the left. "I'll go look for the Blue one, I guess," he says before breaking out into a slow trot to try and keep up with the things that aren't there anymore. It makes sense in his mind, at least.

Dalton walks off as well, in another direction, just blindly hoping something happens.

Time goes by, hours it seems, its never easy to judge time on an astral quest. Soon you grow hungry, and tired, but still you walk through the giant cavern that you cannot see the end of. Eventually, you see something in the distance.
Dalton peers into the distance, then starts heading towards the sign of something different out here.
Daniel's speed doubles once he finally spots something different off in the distance. When the speed doesn't seem to make it get closer any quicker, he slows down. And then, he gets closer quicker? This pair are an odd bunch, that's for sure.

Well its moving, and its coming closer towards you, it looks humanoid, and…..ohh well…you just found each other.
Dalton sighs and slows down as he spots Daniel, but keeps heading towards him "Any luck?" he hollars out to the man.
Daniel looks around, somewhat confused. "Uh… not so much," he says, looking around in all directions (Yes, even up and down), trying to figure out what just happened.
When you look up, you see the two kids looking down at you, hovering in the air "You are boring! You couldnt find us! Lets play something else!" The kids seperate, each one heading directly at you, flying down and then actually into your body……..you feel something inside you, struggling to take control.
Dalton grits his teeth and doubles over, struggling to maintain control of his own body "GET THE FRAG OUT OF ME!" he hollars…
Daniel stumbles back a step at the force of the creepy body jump-into effect that just happened. "That's just wrong," he coughs before his eyes begin to glow faintly some more, and his teeth take on a more feral look.
Eventually the spirits give up and leave your bodies, both of them hovering in the air above you "You two suck!" and then they fly off into the distance, towards….something different.
Daniel coughs the spirit thing up before it flies away, and then looks to Dalton. "That was… disturbing. I take it we need to follow them?" he asks.
Dalton sighs and nods "I guess so, its the only thing that looks different out here." he starts trudging off in the direction of whatever it is
Daniel nods and follows along.

Eventually, as you get closer, you see a huge building in the distance. Time passes and eventually you get closer, finding yourself at the steps of a massive structure of stone, it looks like a strange combination of a mayan pyramid and a european castle. At the front gate, there is a guard. "Hold, state your purpose for entering." It calls out in a booming voice. The guard is decked out in what looks like medievel armor, and is the size of a troll, carrying a large spear.

Dalton tries to smile and be polite "We seek the knowledge that lies in the citadel, we belive we can find our path in your domicile. Please allow us to pass into your home."
"The world is a dark and dreary place… the knowledge that we seek will bring us the power to help to bring light back into it," Daniel says, backing Dalton up a bit.
The Guard nods "You may enter." it remarks, and the gate rises before you, granting you enterance into the strange castle grounds.

Dalton starts to head into the Castle, through the massive gate, he starts looking around, wondering whats next for them.
Daniel passes the guard, following close behind Dalton now. His eyes are, once again, turned in odd, non-normal directions in an effort to keep an eye out for the odd posession-obsesses children.
As you think of them, they appear! "HEY!" they call out "Dont let them in here! They suck!" they scream at the guard. The guard turns, looks at the children, then you two, and brings his spear to the ready. "Begone from here then!" he calls out at Dalton and Daniel

Dalton is really getting fed up with this place and this astral quest, so much for the easy ones where the citadel is a few challenges away. He draws forth mana energy, forming a stunbolt spell since he figures the armored guy is probably a bit resistant to powerbolts. The black cloak and hood of his shamanic mask cover him, and he releases the energy with a flick of his hand at the figure.

«Plot» Daniel says, "Woot! No damage!"
Its a massive fight, the two shamans vs the armored knight. The spear poses quite the problem for the shamans, but somehow, through the combined efforts of the two, they manage to do enough damage to knock the knight down "I yield" he calls out "You may pass." he then struggles to rise and heads back towards the gate.
Dalton gasps for breath as the fight ends, looking down where the spear managed to pierce his long coat, shaking his head "I'm glad I dont have to repair this for real." he mutters.

Daniel frowns at the children, and then turns /back/ towards the armor, mana already pulsing in his hands and ready to be thrown at it. "You sure know how to pick them, don't you?" he asks… and then he watches magic just skip off of the thing. "Great," he mutters, before going through a bit of a dance and weave to land some quickly placed kicks on the Knight. It falls, and the shaman is breathing somewhat deeply while resting his hands on his knees. "Well, this is fun," he says, before glancing back to where the children were floating.
The children cheered at first, then started booing as the knight began to lose. "No! You cant win! Your no fun!" They both dive down at you again, this time entering your body once more, and after a moment, you realize, this time, they are in control. You begin to walk through the castle, heading up stairs, and through various rooms, all this time you are unable to stop your bodies, just merly observing as you lose all control. Finally you both reach the roof of the castle, and walk out to the ledge. You can hear the childs voices in your heads "Can you fly?" they ask.
Dalton struggles, he tries to fight it, but this time its different, no matter how hard he tries, he cannot take back control of his body. He seems a bit alarmed at the prospect the children bring up, looking down over the edge at the ground below.
Daniel convulses a bit at the second leap into his body, and his failure to keep them back. His steps are slightly hesitated, but beyond that, there is nothing keeping him from walking towards the castle roof. His own prospect at flying is somewhat bleak… but he's done it before, so his fear isn't all-encompassing.
And then your bodies step off and you fall, you still have no control, no grasp of mana energy to save yourself with a spell, nothing, just the sight of watching the ground come up into your vision.

«Plot» Daniel says, "Stand at L. Bah…"
As you hit the ground, it all goes dark. There is a moment of shock, and you wonder if you just died, if the quest ended with you losing, and never returning to your body. You imagine what it will be like for someone to find your body where you left it, just an empty shell. Then you feel something, a breeze, a cool breeze on your face, and you realize your eyes are closed. As you open them, you find yourself lying on the floor in a room. As you stand up, you see there are the two children sitting in the room, each of them at a chair. "Fine." they say in unision "I will teach you what you want to know, come and sit and we will explain why you are so stupid in the first place."
