Grimacing, she pushes to her feet as she watches the creature depart. This could mean more reinforcements would be arriving soon. She made her way to Uriah first.
You mind if I use the wand I gave you? I think now is as good a time as any to prepare for a more serious battle.
Uriah uses the Wand to give Aeron armor for 1 hour.
You chase down the creature and kill it as it tries to hide in within the corpses. Without aid from its brethren, or the alien creature it is fairly easy to dispatch.
Yvell sees that no more chokers seem to be present and sighs a sigh of relief. " Well then, now that the disturbance is dealt with, we can fully examine this area. We are supposed to destroy it but I am not sure if it must be a particular portion or the whole complex. Regardless Aeron, you need to be healed up I believe we should use our blessings at this time.. we got alot done today and shall have more done on the morrow, the Lords of Rust will know mortality. Let's investigate the rest of this place for anything useful and then find what we need to destroy. "
At that, Yvell will make a more thorough perusal of the complex and if needed venture outside as well, he will use the Autograpel to get himself to higher places if it looks like it is needed.
"I say when we finish searching this place we go to our base and sleep. This has been a very tiring day." Val says looking through the room. She casts a spell to aid the search.
Searching through the building you find two grenades with jagged icicles drawn on the spheres. Valtyra doesn't sense any magic.
Yvell studied up on the subject knowing these items.. explode.. but not much else as the visions of the ship crash flow through him the icicles mean... something, that is all he is sure of. powerful explosions could be used somewhere.
Uriah doesn't know much about relays or how to destroy them it seems.
Both Yvell and Uriah know that destroying the receiver array (I keep thinking its a relay) can be achieved by placing explosives at the base of the dish, on top of the building.
Yvell just uses his Autograpnel to pull him and anyone else up there then leaving the explosives at the base as he has no way to use intricate methods.
" Does anyone have the ability to set these otherwise.. I will have to blow it and jump down. Unless someone else wants that honor. "
As the group busies themself with a search oh the complex, she moves to Valtyra and poses the same question offered to Uriah hoping to use some charges from the cure wand to heal her wounds.
She then makes her way outside with Yvell as he asks for aid in the destruction of the dish. She pipes up in an effirt to be helpful and hopes she can perform the task so no others would be in harms way.
Aeron sets up all the grenades you have around the base of the dish throws a grenade and leaps off the side of the building, rolling on the ground as ice and gas and other explosions destroy the receiver array.
Yvell, having the spike of the autograpnel still lodged in the building gives Aeron the nod as they both leap off. As he comes down he twists his body and retracts the line to slow his decent though it wrenches his arm harshly.
He plants on the ground somewhat fine.
" We seem to have done quite well for the day, I believe we all deserve a rest to prepare for the 'morrow. Let us return to base and cook a hardy meal. The Lords of Rust will meet us in combat in the Arena.. and at that time... They will wish they hadnt committed some of the atrocities I have seen. " Yvell places his hand on Aeron's shoulder, pulling her up and blessing the android with his gift.
I could use the time to study the items we have found, they may be of use.
" I took that into account, we will gather all the resource we can before the plunge. If possible gain greater renown and recruit some prospects to learn of us.. I also have the final idea for our.. emblem.. it may suit you all if need be. "
You head back to your base. It looks exactly as you left it.
Phylla does some shadow boxing, practicing her strange new skills.
Aeron thanks Yvell for the healing energies as they move off toward their base. Upon their return, she heads directly to the common area and seats herself before the fire. She pulls out the necromancers spell book and begins to pour over it falling into deep concentration as she attempted to learn it's secrets and unravel it's mysteries.
Yvell does some sparring with Phylla and Muga if he wants, he then feeds his plant companion and teach her more ways of the world, answering her questions truthfully as he can and well as he can.
Yvell checks on the well being of some of the more unfortunate scrappers around the place and tell them of ways to prevent issues or give rations if needed. Inside the base at the end of the day Yvell works on a Flag that will bear the Symbol of their gang and practices with magic to attempt and solidify it.
He pondered on the failure of the crash landing and how ominous that seemed to ell but sought within himself to not make the same mistakes. It was true.. he was getting softer? Or would less abrasive be correct? He noted mentally everyone's strengths, weaknesses, outward goals`.. personalities. His.. clear budding of.. feelings for particular persons.
He prayed to Ragathiel.. such that he would continue to do what is right.. ad if need be.. what is needed to be done.
Uriah continues his study of the strange items, the vision in the crashed ship continues to vex him. How does this tie to the evil of the Technic League and their persecution of those gifted as he?
The next day, he wakes studies the items again. This time he achieves a state of Higher Focus before attempting to coax their information out of them through Psychometry.
a timeworn red cylindrical device with a nozzle on one end and a handle on the other
Black Gun
a timeworn very large gun with a cylindrical barrel the size of a human arm (14 charges)
three grenades with a black sunflare
a timeworn bright red plastic cylinder (6 inches by 2 feet)(3 charges)
a timeworn 2 foot long egg-shaped device
a tight form fitting suit of reflective material with a red stripe
a strange gun colored yellow with a small dish at the tip (9 charges)
a small metal device with a slot for a smaller metal chip
Yvell, I believe I've made a breakthrough on some of these...
Icicle Grenades = Zero grenades
red cylinder = fire extinguisher
black gun = i think its a dart gun
very large gun = grenade launcher
Most of your grenades should be gone from destroying the Receiver Array. You can keep the zero grenades though.
red plastic cylinder = not sure
egg shaped device = not sure what this is
tight form fitting suit = still aren't sure, some kind of armor
strange yellow gun = still don't know
small metal device with slot = skillslot (a port you install into the back of your neck, like the Matrix or Ghost in the Shell.)
Yvell seems to look up from w white flag wearing his Studded Leather armor at Uriah's proclamation. " Oh, is that so Uriah? What is it that you found out? Is any of it of use to our cause? "
Well this one.. Uriah holds up the large gun like device Can be loaded with Grenades, hurling them a long distance and unleashing devastating power at a range.
And this Uriah holds up the smaller Dart Gun Can be used to deliver debilitating poisons
This item here.. Uriah holds up the small port Is called a Skill slot and is implanted inside someone's head, giving them knowledge of a variety of topics. I have seen this done by various League members
Finally, this item can be used to destroy fires. Uriah points to the fire extinguisher
Uriah looks pleased with himself, even if the items aren't all THAT useful.
Yvell thinks on the usability of the items Uriah discovered and the enthusiasm the man clearly showed for such things, he seemed.. much Like Ibuki but clearly had a differing aura about him. Once he had contemplated enough, the Half-elven paladin gave a nod and curt smile.
" The ability to launch those destructive spheres from long rang could be devastating if we wished to weaken the enemy fro afar with little danger to us. It is large however so It would seem Muga, Valtrya or myself would need to wield it. I am not sure how effectively that may go.. though I seem to have gotten accustomed to the apparatus built into the arm of my armor. "
" I don't believe I should e using any poisons but the ability to take out fire without magic is useful.. On this.. 'Skill Slot' is there any way of knowing what it enhances.. or .. if it is safe? "
"Oh boy... A way to make our fights even easier? Boy, that's EXACTLY what I want." Muga is nearby, lounging on a chair, snacking.
Uriah enjoys Yvell's questions, he rarely has anyone to speak with about his fascination with the Numerian artifacts and their other worldly origins.
Regarding the Skill slot Uriah says
Well, I don't know...I would need to study the Skill Slot further. I know that the League has...individuals...who are skilled with implanting them.
About the Grenade launcher Uriah says
I don't think you have to be very accurate, the radius of the blast can be...quite large. I'd be interested in trying it out.
Aeron enters the room, her nose still stuck in the tomb as she overhears the conversation even if it was only bits and pieces. She looks up for a moment and surveys they room before settling her gaze on Muga. Complately missing his sarcasm, she replies.
Exactly what you want? I was always under the impression your methods were bordering on insanity with a strong dose of "death wish" myself. But eliminating masses of enemies can still work to our advantage.
She moved through the room taking no heed of her outfit. She moved her shirtless form over to a window and continued reading. Upon inspection, she... was obviously a he. His lanky frame and hairless torso sported a mass of crisscrossing scarification type welts that looked more like circuitry rather than any decisive decorative design. The design was so intricate and subtle though, it was difficult to even make out unless hit just right by the light to offer a slight shadow from the raised portions.
He moved to a window and set Oblivion on the window sill and rested the book on his lap as he continued studying.
Sitting crosslegged in a yogi's pose Uriah snickers at the Android's joke.
Indeed Muga. You do seem to have a...certain attitude about things. he says with his eyes closed. Perhaps some meditation would help you focus more on the way of Odayakana senshi
Uriah uses the Tien words for Calm Warrior, a term he picked up from a Vudran Yogi under whom he studied for a time.
"Heh, would you be interested to know that it's the first time I've been given that advice?" Muga leaned back, setting the food aside.
Muga suddenly took the pose of thoughtful old storyteller, with one squinting eye, stroking an imaginary beard while holding an equally imaginary pipe."It was always, 'Slaughter everyone I tell you too while laughing maniacally. Make it a gruesome carnival that inspires fear.'" Lowering his hands and tilting his head forward and slightly to the side with an eyebrow raise, he continued. "I rather think I've come a long way towards Odayakana senshi since then." The shark smile curling its way into his lips made it difficult to tell whether Muga was being serious.
After bonding for the rest of the day, you find sleep and wake up the next morning ready to go.
My offer stands. You may meditate with me any time you wish...
You meet with the rest of the gangs briefly. They don't seem like they won't to help enough to endanger themselves. Dinvaya is curious but also doesn't want to leave her clocktower.
" I simply wish for a few individuals for the entrance of our gang into the arena "
" Do not worry about endangering yourselves, I simply wish you to watch the display and see your enemy fall while reclaiming some of your territory "
" We have destroyed that Receiver and most likely aim to defeat the Arena battle. I would expect you to do nothing but watch your enemy lose in the arena with your own eyes.. though the explosives you might have had might help us in the battles AFTER the arena fight. "
" Dinvaya, we have become much stronger than when you last saw us and gained much renown. I think now would be the perfect time to gather some information on your creations and compare them to the martial prowess of the combatants. And even more.. perhaps think about your return to Torch. There may also be music.. "
