Rivet shrugs. "Information perhaps? The tale of what brought your new friend here, or any other dangers they might be able to warn us of. I know too little of what such an elemental could provide to ask in any greater detail."
Lwazi nods. "Anything about how it came to be here and what it has seen would be useful. Was it a spider that caused its unusual condition?"
"He... she? They? They. They came in here because of some curious sound which turned out to be the spider, and the shifting states are just how they are. Neat. What next?" Luca looks back at the others looking for an answer.
"Well, if they are well enough, I suppose they can return to... the Maelstrom, perhaps? Is that where they are from?" Lwazi looks at the creature. "And we will face these spiders."
Rivet inquires, "Were the sounds remarkable? In a possibly magical sense I mean? Beyond that I have nothing further to ask."
Midioto looks at the Chaos Elemental with sheer exitement in his eyes.
You say that your kind are common here? Are you native to these lands? Do you know the area well? We are first time explorers here, we came from a far away plane with a...
And I nearly died to a Raptorbunny once already, see?
Would you be willing to dally with us a while?
Luca beckons the Elan back to the group with a light-hearted chuckle.
Luca turns to the others in the party. "He says he's in. Ah, a good day I think. I'd be grinning with joy if I had lips."
Lwazi frowns slightly. A denizen of the Maelstrom would hardly be reliable, but he says nothing about that for the moment.
"Then let us continue onward," he says instead, cautious Leopard silently vowing to keep an eye on the elemental. "We should slay this spider and see what else can be gained in these caves."
the elemental shifts back and forth on it's feet, patiently waiting for the group to go somewhere.
If no one says otherwise, Lwazi leads the way down the nearest unexplored passageway.
"What sf gffd hells is this man Syhde! It's like he fghyksss half Kxhss ghttre."
What am I? I'm human! Pure human. And I'm half what?
when Luca says he will join,Alright guys! ONWARD! This cave isnt going to explore itself!
Midioto teleports to the front of the group once more.
As soon as the group approach the remaining passage it becomes apparent that the way is not as clear as the other passages. A truly massive amount of rocks seem to have fallen when their supports were burned away, and make the terrain difficult to traverse, and in places likely easier to climb than to walk. They also block line of sight to the other side.
"I anticipate no problem here," Rivet says as he extends climbing claws, "and I have a rope to assist any who have difficulty climbing."
"I can assist as well," Lwazi boasts. "This is hardly as difficult as climbing the great trees of my home."
Hey this looks like fun! Lets see :P
Midioto seems to be making a game of it, skipping from rock to rock. Its almost seems as if he is playing HopScotch to the tune of a giant cracking its knuckles...
He even goes so far as to bounce off the roof for a step or two.
Once he gets to about as far as he can while still being able to look back, he calls to the rest of them. HEY! Who wants a free ride and I'll teleport them across!
"I suppose thats better than waiting in the back, but what do I tell our new friend?"
The cavernous room on the other side of the rocks is dark, but
Midiotoziggeroto thinks he can see something large move in the distance.
Gin tries to get across as best he can.
TAG! YOUR IT!!!
And with dizzying and disorientating motion Midioto and Luca swap places, Midoto back at the start of the cave in.
Back at the start, he talks to the Elemental once again/
Midioto will once again teleport deep across the cavein, and then immediately turn around and swap with the Elemental in a series of s
OH! And be careful guys, I saw something large further down the cave...
Lwazi growls softly. "Best to allow me in front, then," he says, carefully making his way forward.
Luca casts Ironflesh after hes transported. His feathers harden to a sleeker black, keeping his eyes forward.
"Lwazi my friend, I'm flattered."
As soon as the two of them reach the top webs fly out of the darkness aiming to cover both Luca and Lwazi
Entangling them both
"Welp. Guys there's a spider." Luca regards his situation with a mix of downplaying his own terror and not quite having realized exactly what is happening.
Rivet whips out the same shears he was using to cut the webs earlier and says "Just be patient a moment and I'll have you free." He starts on Luca immediately.
Lwazi growls, drops his falchion, and slashes at the webbing with his claws.
Then he picks his weapon back up.
The tengu flexes his raptor-like talons and cuts into the webbing to remove himself as fast as he could, knowing what must be nearby.
Luca gets out almost instantly thanks to Rivit's sheers, and his claws are enough to cut the web off of Lwazi as well.
Guys! You ok there? Here, I got just the spell for you... Or not, it looks like you got the situation under wraps. Oooh! Spider! Eat lightning spider!!! justdonteatme.justdonteatme...
Lwazi nods a thanks at Luca before preparing himself for the coming beast.
Stumbling his way over the terrain, Gin manages to get across just before tripping and falling onto his chest.
Gin gets up and draws his fire-steel sword.
The monster moves forward, enraged at being struck with fire
Lwazi feels a bit of a shudder at the sight of the spider, but he grits his teeth and charges forward, his anger rising within him. His voice rises from a soft growl to a snarl as he slashes at the creature with his falchion.
