Bellamy stands looking at the gushing water pouring from a large pipe in the Purification Center, down in the Waste Pipes under Firmament. The stout old fox is safely out of the way of the water, standing on a cement walkway along the edge of the greater pipe, waiting for his requested help to arrive.
Cara walks her up behind the stout old fox. This time, she is equipped with only a rapier and her own clothes. As she gets close enough to her, she stands patiently on the cement walkway as well. It wouldn't do to get her wet at all.
Zuri strolls along in the center of the group of approaching beings. The small salamander has once again eschewed the protection of armor for much lighter wear, and armed with but a staff that the agile being certainly does not need to walk with. He moves up to and stands in front of Bellamy, giving him a quick salute in greeting.
Bazalt follows after Zuri a small grin on his face and Bow in his left hand. After his talks witht eh fox yesterday there was no way he wasnt comming And as part of the parthfinders he sorta had to go. He nods to everyone gathered so far and sighs.
Reginald , arriving form the direction of the city and armed for an expedition out into the wilderness of Promise, silently joins the group. Moving to the edge of the precipice, he crouches a little and leans forward for a few moments, trying to take a look at his surroundings and the pipe without getting wet. Quickly pulling back, he turns to the fox. "What are we looking for, exactly?" Whilst waiting on a reply, the lynx comes across Zuri, who he nods in greeting to, and Bazalt, to who he offers up a loving smile.
Rokarion arrived later by himself. The plant being was clad in his usual humble attire minus his cloak as he approached the group. Rokarion nodded his head and joined up with Zuri.
"Why would records be all the way down here?" Cassidy asks as she makes her way through the undertunnels, keeping herself close to Natska. "Seems like an awfully strange and convenient place, don't you think? 'Hey, we've got these important things that just so happen to be located deep underground in a dangerous adventure location!' Why is it never in a library?"
Natska quietly snickers at Cassidy's qeuestion. The jaguar finishes getting her gauntlets locked in place and flexes her fingers, then nods. "Maybe there was a library down here, when Beings lived in the tunnels and before we all moved up to Firmament?" she offers, then shrugs. "And maybe they figured it was useless information, since there were no dragons left, so they left it behind?" Her ear flicks. She looks over the rest of the gathering adventurers, then nods at Bellamy. "I didn't expect to see you out of the city! I am here and ready, however."
"Excellent," Bellamy says, looking over the gathered beings, "Very punctual. I expect this shall be an excellent bit of adventure." The sturdy fox strokes his mustache and nods toward the large, gushing pipe in front of him. "After watching a dedication the other day, I find that my fancy has turned toward learning more about our Elemental Dragons. Imagine my surprise when my studies turned up the fact that these very beings are largly responsible for the installation of these tunnels and waterways! Unfortunately, most of the information on the Dragons themselves is in the central part of this facility, which makes it rather difficult to access. That is where you all come in." He steps to one side and waves a hand at the gushing pipe. "Here is the front door," he says then holds up a strange Creator device shaped like an egg, "And this is what you will need to get the records I hope to find. You need only place this on the main information terminal. Once you are past this watery barrier, I should imagine it is a straight shot." He smiles at the group, egg still held out. "Well?" he prompts, "Hop to it!"
Cara quickly turns around and looks to everyone else, "Okay, is anyone here an expert in operating creator tech? Also, do we have anyone who happens to be good at water magic? I'm thinking that we could have them help us move through water." She sends a pleasant smile out, hopeful that someone in the group can fit the criteria mentioned.
Bazalt Blinks "Why is it Always bloody water?" He sighs and then Smiles to REginald. "I swear....please-SOMEONE Be able to do water magic.. Please..." he begs. "this..will get worse for me.. wont it?" He rubs his head, frowning.
Zuri smiles up at Cara.. no, practically grins as she asks for water magic. "I maaaay know a thing or two about water magic, maybe... " He raises his staff in a rather over-acted and dramatic fashion. "Worry not, friends. I will keep you safe through these treacherous waters! Step one... let's make sure noone drowns." And with that he starts weaving a quick mathemagical equation, something to help his friends overcome the watery obstacle.
Reginald offers a sympathetic smile to Bazalt, as he waits patiently to see what Zuri can pull off. Although he does not show it, he really does wish that the salamander is successful in removing the water obstacle in front of them, as this lynx has a dislike of water just as great as the shadow's.
Rokarion nods his head the Bellamy before he looked down on the salamander as he began casting his magic. The plant being decided to wait as he quickly went over some of the basic creator tech facts in his head
"Maybe, Natska. Maybe." Cassidy looks incredulously at the water before sighing. "At least I'm wearing my leathers today and not my suit. At least THESE are mostly waterproofed. I still can't say I fancy this. And I roughly know creator objects. In that I've read the texts and manuals, at least."
As Zuri's magic settles over everyone, a new sense of vitality spreads through the limbs of the party along with a sense of confidence. At least as far as the water is concerned.
"Fine work, young man," Bellamy says gruffly, "A fine water breathing spell. Best of luck to you all. I shall be here, waiting with baited breath." The veteran fox takes Cassidy's hand and plops the little egg-thing into it. "Simple as can be," he reiterates, "Just set it on the terminal, this will do the rest. Don't worry. It is completely water proof."
Cara jumps into the water without much care in the world upon being enchanted with the water magic. As she lands in the water, there is a large splash that occurs as a result of her mass landing in the water. Her head goes under for a moment, and then comes back up, "Well, let's get going."
Zuri smiles at Bellamy. "Thank you Sir! I do try!" He begins to walk forward towards the gushing pipe, raising his staff in both hands. He knows some of the group are... somewhat hydrophobic, so he channels his water magic to try and split the water spout in two, to at least allow the other beings to step trough without getting thoroughly drenched or getting knocked on their feet. He walks into the water as such, confidently.
The water does not quite split at Zuri's command, but it does slow significantly, the top of the pipe becoming clear, just a little bit. Swimming through just got much more manageable, especially since there seems to be a bit of air at the top now!
