Vel'sere Desert

[Lady_Conspiracy]

Oliza nodded, the voice had calmed her, and so calmed Entity, and the hope of water relaxed her more. Just trust yourself girl... Oliza thought to herself. "Perhaps we can take a break once we get there." She mused with a smile. It had been a long time since she had relaxed in the coolness of water.

As they follow deeper into the caverns they can indeed all feel water or more to the point smell it in the sands. The air is damp with moisture. Yet you could not hear even a hint at any running water around. The air seems sweeter, and their are small life forms skittering around. Steadily you have been going down a gradual incline traveling further into the depths of the sand. Finally as you begin to reach an opening you see faint light at the tunnels end it glows with an eerie green light. the floor beneath you has begun to look not as if nature had worn a path but the hands of people. Their are traces of stone blocks inset in the ground as if making a path and steadily the walls have become smooth and even. As you enter the opening end of the tunnel you see it exits into a huge well made antechamber lined with black jet wall panels and above a dome ceiling with massive clusters of polished green gem stones (The source of the light.). There is a faint humming and at the center of the chamber there is a massive fountain (it is bone dry) the air seems thick with moisture and it look like the only way out is either back the way you came or three other doors at the opposite end of the chamber; each with a unique rune making the top of their frames. They are round in shape and each door it made of a strange black metal. The runes are Cet in nature. (Baradeir can read them. The door on the right says body, the door on the left says mind, and the center door says soul.)

Selene padded thoughtfully across the desert. The sun glared down on her back, bathing her in the heat. She didn't know where she was headed, but the spirits had told her to move, and she had. She knew the caves well, but she'd not been on the surface for a while. Vultures crowed overhead, but she gritted her teeth and continued. On and on she journied, sinking sometimes in the sand, but continuing all the same. Suddenly, a gust blew sand in her eyes, she fumbled, trying to wipe away the grit, but not in time to see the chasm beneath her. She fell, her head smashing against the rocky wall, landing on her side. Blackness covered her vision... she was unconscious

When she awoke she was at the entrace tunnel of the same antechamber that our other adventurers are in. (((Welcome to the party mrgreen ))) Your still passed out; and any goods you mat have had were separated from you in the fall and recollapse of the tunnel roof.  

[Mad Madam Mimm]

Selene stirred and shook her head slightly, a throbbing pain spreading through her muscles. She groaned, partly from pain, partly from her own stupidity, to not look where she was going and now to be separated from her Bow, arrow and flask of water. She was surely in trouble... she looked around the cavern, as it slowly stopped swimming in front of her eyes. It was large, and she heard voices echoing around. She carefully stood, and waited. If the owners of these voices were dangerous, then she could still fight. She was, after all, of a noble breed of centaur.... for all they knew.  

[Gyzvx]

The spirits of this place whisper urgently to you they warn of the immense danger of this place. That many hungry eyes are watching you, that none of you are alone in this chamber. Slowly the door that leads to the original tunnel slides closed trapping everyone inside the chamber. Now only the three doors remain an option.  

[Lady_Conspiracy]

Oliza stared around, she was never nervous or frightened, normally fighting with a cocky laid back attitude enjoying the freedom of the fight... But now... There was a prickling fear of desperation holding her. Find the water... then get the hell out of this place! She thought to herself.

Clearing her throat Oliza turned toward the other two taking Entity's lead. "So... which way to the water..." She asked nervously, pushing her red hair behind her ears. She was trying to act all brave and cool but could feel herself failing miserably.  

[Mad Madam Mimm]

Selene heard so many voices echoing around the cave. The spirits were numerous here, and were all telling her to escape while she could. Then, the horrible grumbling screeched through her ears. The voices were quiet for a second, then kicked up again, yelling at her "Escape! Escape!"
between the ghostly echoes, she heard what she recognised as a living voice, though the words were indistinct. She would have to face the owner sooner or later. Picking a rock up for a crude weapon, she readied herself in case of enemies. She bit her lip, and stood resolute on the spot.

((Can I get a recap?))  

[Gyzvx]

(((Basicaly you went down the left path and down a tunnel into a large antechamber. everything else you want to know is at the top of page 6 of the forum. mrgreen )))

"Which way do we go Baradier?"  

[Ryougi Yasumaru]

can o whoop a**

"Body Mind Soul" Kanji read under his breath
"Which way do we go Baradier?"

((I think I'm supposed to be the only one who can read them))

"Three doors." Baradier said and read the runes aloud. "Body, Mind, Soul...those usually mean that what lies beyond them requires you to use those in the rooms." Baradier stated trying to form small figures to explain. "Body means you'll have to use physical Strength, Mind means you have to think and usually behind those doors is a maze of some sort, Soul means you'll have to use magic to survive." He finished and spread the water evenly between them. "We need to split up and each take the one we're more likely to survive in because the Cet were very good at making traps." He formed and arrow of ice and fired it at the ceiling making some of the gems fall. "If we each reach the back of the rooms I'm sure a passage way will open up to lead us further in."  

[Lady_Conspiracy]

Oliza nodded. "Intresting..." She smiled and shook her head wearily. "There is no way I'd be able to use phyiscal strength. Magic, yes, and the mind maybe... I'll take soul then..." she smiled, she was tired and worried. Her heart for some reason was troubled deeply.

"Kanji, please take Entity with you where ever you go. You should find him very useful." She stepped forward and entered the soul path, waving to them as she went. "Good luck friends, take care of yourselves!"

The tunnel was dark and Oliza shuddered as her friends disappeared. She wasn't used to being on her own, for she always had her beloved horse with her, but now... Her footsteps echoed around her, and Oliza wrapped her arms around herself carfully. "Hello....?" She asked the silence.
