But I do see the word Vault in that jumbled mess."<br> <br>Bite spots, and slithers over to a mechanism, thinking for a second before moving towards the skeleton and pulling part of it off, she attempts to use it to activate the mechanism, staying well away from the stairs. "Be alert sssweeties."<br> <br>Wulf nods towards Selena, offering her a wink. "I can make you feel better later I bet, you know if you have the time." She sticks near the entrance to the area, keeping an eye out. "No worries Bite, I'm working on just that."<br> <br>The Snakes tampering doesn't little more than rustles some old machinery but luckly it doesn't trigger to the trap nor does it disarm it. The rest of the sketelon falls into a pile of bones causing a creepy clatter to echo off the walls, on of the bones fall on a pressure plate that cause math to activate and small flames to appear and brighten up the room.<br> <br>Selena shakes her head at the husky's offer. "It's not that kind of 'been better'. ...Anyone have a clue what this might mean by 'only the good can keep death away'?" She asks, gesturing to the odd little hole. "Looks like something fits in there, but..." The wolf looks a little perplexed, fishing around in her bag for something or another before producing a soul gem. "I'm guessing it's looking for some kind of item related to the church?" She muses. "Any objections to my putting this soul gem in?" She asks, displaying the 'Champion of Light' gem she's been keeping in her bag.<br> <br>Angus shrugs. "Might as well try something, we came here to find treasure." Not finding much else to do he decides to stand near Wulf at the entrance.<br> <br>Bite looks to Selena and tilts her head. "Sssweetie you're better off with this." she hisses a preist soul gem to which she has no attachment to at all. "If something goes wrong I don't want you to lose your nice soul gem." she hisses and giggles, tossing it to her.<br> <br>Wulf lifts an eye at Selena, making a mental note to ask her about what is troubling her later. "Yeah, best use a gem that is easily replacable." turning to face the group and the door she watches the group fiddle with the mechanism.<br> <br>The moment that Selena begins to inserts a the soulgem a screech is heard as something travels up the stairs rapidly. It doesn't take long before the group see the sourch of the screech, a large flame elemental in the shape of Snake with a staff. "Yune Dah Jilnoskun!" The strange creature cries out before attacking.<br> <br>Selena growls, lashing out at the 'guardian' with the bleached remains of the dead beings, the storm of bones forcing the elemental to vanish back into the aether as its being is displaced too much, too rapidly. Selena dusts herself off and shrugs. "Well. That was educational." She comments with a wry smirk.<br> <br>Bite drops her improvised weapon, the bone she had been prodding the mechanism with and stretches. "Well that was exciting sssweetie." she hisses and giggles. "So sssweeties, shall we see where it came from?" she quizzes.<br> <br>Wulf pushes her Sabre through her belt instead of it's sheath, that done she starts reloading her musket. "Yeah, let's go see with this beastie came from." She looks to the door and moves her head towards it. "So shall we go?"<br> <br>Selena paces cautiously towards the stairs, keeping an eye out for any obvious traps though she notes none. The wolf looks back to Bite and asks, "See anything there?"<br> <br>Bite grabs Selena and pulls her back. "Sssweetie it's not disarmed." she hisses a little angrily. She tilts her head and thinks, unable to determine the mechanism she giggles, and begins summoning an unstable elemental within the trapped area.<br> <br>Wulf blinks and shuffles back, spilling just a little powder. "Eh! Wait don't do that, that might set of a BIG trap, not just a localized one." The Husky watches on as she finishes reloading, not really able to stop the summoning.<br> <br>The elemental doesn't last even a second as a the stairs drop the elemental down to a small room where it is pelted with does of arrows a growl is heard as a black claw appears and grabs the elemental. The elemental explodes before the stairs close back up. A single very old crown lands in front of the party with and old Good king face on it.<br> <br>Selena looks down at the crown, then looks back to Bite. "Reckon it'd be worth a try putting that into that receptacle?" She offers, at a loss for another immediate solution to the trap. "After all, it is the 'Good king'." She comments.<br> <br>Bite does her best to hide a grin, staying focused on the task at hand. "If it fits sssweetie, why not?" she hisses, looking to gauge the value of the coin she's potentially throwing away.<br> <br>Wulf whistles as she watches the elemental drop down the sudden hole, her eyes watching the coin fly through the air and hit the floor. "Well if it doesn't fit I want it, it'd make a wonderful necklace piece." The Husky wanders over to the slot and looks at it closely as she waits for bite to finish studying the coin.<br> <br>The crown slides in the slot with a simple clunk before the fire light the tunnel and the group Passes safely into the next room. This room is filled with books that seems to be in a useless condition there is a bit of math scribbled on the ground but the largest items in the room is four different armors and each of them holding a scroll. The scrolls are red green white and black, the armors are the same color as the scroll they hold. The door at the end of the hallway is sealed with earth math.<br> <br>Selena scrutinises the statues, pointing out the white one to the rest of the group. "Dark magic on the ground on that one. The rest are enchanted." She notes. "Might want to avoid it." The wolf comments, taking a particular interest in the green statue and its scroll...<br> <br>Bite tilts her head. "Sssweetie will you do me a favor?" she hisses to Selena. "Drop that and on the count of three will you summon an elemental inside this armor?" she hisses pointing to the red armor. <br> <br>Wulf watches the math-users go about their business, taking this time to investigate other things. "Math... math here, math there.. math everywhere." She grumbles and continues to look around.<br> <br>The moment that the elemental is summoned the armor bulges in a such strange as the unstable elemental unevenly fill out the armor. The Taipan snatches the scroll with particed ease at a the armor collaspes into large chunk and starts to immediately rust away. As this happen the other armor follow suit as thier scroll burn away. The area turns a green hue as intense earth magic unseals the door. A curse is heard deeper in the ruin as some hushed and hurried speaking goes further down the doorway.<br> <br>Selena begins to make way over to the door, noting it's now unsealed. "Bite, what's on the scroll?" She asks hurriedly.<br> <br>Bite opens the scroll and scans the contents, tilting her head before rolling it up. "Well sssweetie i'm not sure but I guess we'll find out." she hisses and looks into the passage ahead, scanning for traps once more. <br> <br>Wulf takes up the rear, her rifle out and ready to fire scanning the area in front of the group as they travel along.. "I think we'd better find out what that noise was coming from that door, lead the way." |

A large badger stands before the group looking like she has a bad itch, "I've got good news, I've uncovered a large ruin that might be related to the old ones, We have it on good information that this place is possible still in use. I want all of you to be ready to take on this threat but what I want you to look for is on any information we can use against the Old Ones. I don't care what it is but I do care that you come back alive and well. I cannot go this time do to the good kings order...." The Badger grumbled before passing out a map to each of the gathered folks, "I am trusting you to go in, explore and report anything of use and remove all threats." She says with no argument tone. "Any questions?"
Selena shakes her head. "Sure. Any other information?" he asks, pulling her hair behind her and plaiting it for work.
Angus studies the map for a few minutes. "Do we have any information on possible threats?" He glances up at Kilsa as he checks to make sure his weapons are secure. "Also...why can't you go?"
"No questions." Kiyasai adds lightly before standing with her hands rested on her hammer. She looks pale and tired more than anything else, not in her armor.
Kilsa looks at Angus with an annoyed experession, "I am considered to important to go unless the place has been checked. Since I hadto fun this by the good king first I get kicked off the team." She growls and shakes her head, "Not matter. I know I can leave it in your capable hands. Now I have a cart waiting for you unlike the last time there will be a personal guard for the trip so no surprise now lets step outside." She lead them to a cart where a little moust in a robe smiles and nods at each of them before hoping in the car as a familiar bear hold on to the reigns. "Good luck."
Selena shrugs. "There weren't any surprises en route last time we headed somewhere in a cart." She comments. "And I don't think we'll be having a repeat of that other accident." She comments to the badger, waving back to her as she heads over to the cart.
Angus is given an annoyed look and just smiles. "Well you are important Lady Kilsa, and I meant no offense when I asked." He walks towards the cart and glances at the mouse then the bear. "Ya, hopefully we will be safe."
Kiyasai bows politely to the badger before she wanders over to the cart and clambers on, curling up and leaning against a wall. "The answer is still no, bear." The mew preempts.
The badger smiles at Angus, "I'm not upset with you, friend, I just want to be a apart of this. I will pray that that Creators guide you well." She says at the bear grins at Kiyasai, "Alright, but what about that cute Vixen right there?" He cuckled and the mouse slapped him in the ear. "Alright Alright.... YAH!" The cart begins to move quickly and smoothly as the bear speak, "I remember when I was young and bold I was able to fight off waves of waves of deadly Jarls while working on my papa's farm."
Selena looks unimpressed with the bear's boast, though the keeps herself silent and occupied with a book. "It's good to see you again, Kiyasai. Angus." She finally greets the pair.
Angus completly ignores the bear and instead starts to recheck his equipment. "It has been awhile hasn't it Selena." Turning to Kiyasai he gives her a slight nod. "And hello again Kiyasai, haven't seen you in Firmament in a long time. How have you been?"
"Busy." Is the best response Kiyasai can afford. "Been a lot to take care of. Worse job than royalty." The feline seems out of place without her armor, clothing simple and unadorned, exposing the snow white fur on her belly. "Just a day off for me is all." She shrugs, and looks at the path the cart is traversing.
The Cart ride is pretty uneventalful until a group of bandits appear in front of them, "Alright you get out and give use all you Hrik!" The mouse moved like a little blur and within seconds the entire group is dead. The mouse chitters and hop back on the cart as the bear rolls over them. "Old Roger could have done that with his hands broken." The bear says before the mouse smack his ear again. Three hours pass before the group is stopped in front of a stone slab on the ground with an open door ruins decorate the slab and the door leads to a set of stairs.
Selena looks back at Kiyasai a little skeptically. "You call this a day off?" She asks incredulously. "I'd hate to see what you have to do on a regular basis." the wolf shakes her head sympathtically, turning a few pages in the book, watching the mouse butcher the bandits with ease. "...Well, that was impressive." She comments. On arrival, she puts her book back into her bag and steps off the cart unceremoniously.
Angus places his hands behind his head and leans against the side of the cart. "Are you kidding, this is definitely a day off for me. No court duties, and no patrol." When the bandits appear his hand was already on his weapons, until the Mouse jumps in and slaughters them. "well....looks like Kilsa didn't lie..this trip is pretty safe." When the cart stops he steps off, and is instantly intrigued by the ruins.
"Hey. You were the one who said true Faith was too much for you." Kiyasai smiles a bit as her eyes close, shaking her form a little to warm up before she gets off the cart. "Don't worry. I felt the same way when I was forced to give up my mage classes too."
The ruins seem to be written in some language that doesn't look familiar to the group surrounds the entrance, A second cart is seen rapid approaching the group. The steeds come to a stop near the first cart, there seems to be a serpent and a Husky in this new cart.
Selena looks around the area cautiously, eyes settling on the door hatch for a moment. "Well, doesn't look like there'll be too much trouble from that trap." She comments, and waves across to the familiar snake and husky. "Bite, Wulf!" She greets the pair. "How are you two?"
Angus shrugs at Selenas comment. "Well you never know, we thought the same thing the last time we went exploring and look what that brought us." When he realizes who the cart had brought he smiles. "Bite, Wulf, Good to see you to again."
Kiyasai looks at the second cart with a resolute glare before she shakes her head lightly, clearly not who she was expecting. She pauses to look at the strange markings for a moment, but doesn't find anything that she recognizes, and then she just stands there and waits.
Bite hops off the cart, and heads straight over to the nearby others who are so eager to greet them, with the exception of Kiyasai who gives her a glare, which she confusedly returns to the feline. 'How dare they be unhappy to see her, clearly something is wrong with them' she rations. "Hey sssweeties, sorry i'm late, what's going on?" she hisses and giggles as she reaches them.
Wulf rolls off the cart, shrugging her Musket over her shoulder as she hits the ground with a faint thump. "Heya Sel, I'm doing better now that I am fully recovered. Howabout you?"
Wulf offers a wave at Angus.
The first room after the long stair case is a dusty room filled with dead rock spiders that have aged to the point of being white husks of their former glory. There is a pill in the middle with a run in it and the skeleton of a pig with bleach white bones. A weird set of text is above the skeleton while on the others side is another set of stairs going deeping into the ruin.
Selena smiles. "I've been better, I guess," Selena says to Wulf, descending into the ruins. "But at the end of the day I'm still intact. It's good to see you've recovered so well, though." The wolf smiles. Upon entering, she takes a look at the odd text and skeletons, wondering if there's any conclusion to draw.
Angus follows Selena into the ruins, his hands on his Rapier just in case. But when they move closer to the Skeletons and the text he stops. He takes a look at the text, and shrugs. "Well I can tell you one thing, this language isn't from Promise. But I do see the word Vault in that jumbled mess."
Bite spots, and slithers over to a mechanism, thinking for a second before moving towards the skeleton and pulling part of it off, she attempts to use it to activate the mechanism, staying well away from the stairs. "Be alert sssweeties."
Wulf nods towards Selena, offering her a wink. "I can make you feel better later I bet, you know if you have the time." She sticks near the entrance to the area, keeping an eye out. "No worries Bite, I'm working on just that."
The Snakes tampering doesn't little more than rustles some old machinery but luckly it doesn't trigger to the trap nor does it disarm it. The rest of the sketelon falls into a pile of bones causing a creepy clatter to echo off the walls, on of the bones fall on a pressure plate that cause math to activate and small flames to appear and brighten up the room.
Selena shakes her head at the husky's offer. "It's not that kind of 'been better'. ...Anyone have a clue what this might mean by 'only the good can keep death away'?" She asks, gesturing to the odd little hole. "Looks like something fits in there, but..." The wolf looks a little perplexed, fishing around in her bag for something or another before producing a soul gem. "I'm guessing it's looking for some kind of item related to the church?" She muses. "Any objections to my putting this soul gem in?" She asks, displaying the 'Champion of Light' gem she's been keeping in her bag.
Angus shrugs. "Might as well try something, we came here to find treasure." Not finding much else to do he decides to stand near Wulf at the entrance.
Bite looks to Selena and tilts her head. "Sssweetie you're better off with this." she hisses a preist soul gem to which she has no attachment to at all. "If something goes wrong I don't want you to lose your nice soul gem." she hisses and giggles, tossing it to her.
Wulf lifts an eye at Selena, making a mental note to ask her about what is troubling her later. "Yeah, best use a gem that is easily replacable." turning to face the group and the door she watches the group fiddle with the mechanism.
The moment that Selena begins to inserts a the soulgem a screech is heard as something travels up the stairs rapidly. It doesn't take long before the group see the sourch of the screech, a large flame elemental in the shape of Snake with a staff. "Yune Dah Jilnoskun!" The strange creature cries out before attacking.
Selena growls, lashing out at the 'guardian' with the bleached remains of the dead beings, the storm of bones forcing the elemental to vanish back into the aether as its being is displaced too much, too rapidly. Selena dusts herself off and shrugs. "Well. That was educational." She comments with a wry smirk.
Bite drops her improvised weapon, the bone she had been prodding the mechanism with and stretches. "Well that was exciting sssweetie." she hisses and giggles. "So sssweeties, shall we see where it came from?" she quizzes.
Wulf pushes her Sabre through her belt instead of it's sheath, that done she starts reloading her musket. "Yeah, let's go see with this beastie came from." She looks to the door and moves her head towards it. "So shall we go?"
Selena paces cautiously towards the stairs, keeping an eye out for any obvious traps though she notes none. The wolf looks back to Bite and asks, "See anything there?"
Bite grabs Selena and pulls her back. "Sssweetie it's not disarmed." she hisses a little angrily. She tilts her head and thinks, unable to determine the mechanism she giggles, and begins summoning an unstable elemental within the trapped area.
Wulf blinks and shuffles back, spilling just a little powder. "Eh! Wait don't do that, that might set of a BIG trap, not just a localized one." The Husky watches on as she finishes reloading, not really able to stop the summoning.
The elemental doesn't last even a second as a the stairs drop the elemental down to a small room where it is pelted with does of arrows a growl is heard as a black claw appears and grabs the elemental. The elemental explodes before the stairs close back up. A single very old crown lands in front of the party with and old Good king face on it.
Selena looks down at the crown, then looks back to Bite. "Reckon it'd be worth a try putting that into that receptacle?" She offers, at a loss for another immediate solution to the trap. "After all, it is the 'Good king'." She comments.
Bite does her best to hide a grin, staying focused on the task at hand. "If it fits sssweetie, why not?" she hisses, looking to gauge the value of the coin she's potentially throwing away.
Wulf whistles as she watches the elemental drop down the sudden hole, her eyes watching the coin fly through the air and hit the floor. "Well if it doesn't fit I want it, it'd make a wonderful necklace piece." The Husky wanders over to the slot and looks at it closely as she waits for bite to finish studying the coin.
The crown slides in the slot with a simple clunk before the fire light the tunnel and the group Passes safely into the next room. This room is filled with books that seems to be in a useless condition there is a bit of math scribbled on the ground but the largest items in the room is four different armors and each of them holding a scroll. The scrolls are red green white and black, the armors are the same color as the scroll they hold. The door at the end of the hallway is sealed with earth math.
Selena scrutinises the statues, pointing out the white one to the rest of the group. "Dark magic on the ground on that one. The rest are enchanted." She notes. "Might want to avoid it." The wolf comments, taking a particular interest in the green statue and its scroll...
Bite tilts her head. "Sssweetie will you do me a favor?" she hisses to Selena. "Drop that and on the count of three will you summon an elemental inside this armor?" she hisses pointing to the red armor.
Wulf watches the math-users go about their business, taking this time to investigate other things. "Math... math here, math there.. math everywhere." She grumbles and continues to look around.
The moment that the elemental is summoned the armor bulges in a such strange as the unstable elemental unevenly fill out the armor. The Taipan snatches the scroll with particed ease at a the armor collaspes into large chunk and starts to immediately rust away. As this happen the other armor follow suit as thier scroll burn away. The area turns a green hue as intense earth magic unseals the door. A curse is heard deeper in the ruin as some hushed and hurried speaking goes further down the doorway.
Selena begins to make way over to the door, noting it's now unsealed. "Bite, what's on the scroll?" She asks hurriedly.
Bite opens the scroll and scans the contents, tilting her head before rolling it up. "Well sssweetie i'm not sure but I guess we'll find out." she hisses and looks into the passage ahead, scanning for traps once more.
Wulf takes up the rear, her rifle out and ready to fire scanning the area in front of the group as they travel along.. "I think we'd better find out what that noise was coming from that door, lead the way."
