<I agree, we need to try to avoid these things as best as we can. That would be the ideal situation. But we have to be prepared for anything. If we do get caught by one of those things, and I do hope that never happens, then we have to seperate Forlirn from Frilarth and Frilarn. If they are targetting his bloodline, then that will ensure one of them gets out.>
"Very well, i'll make sure that I take your words to heart if you choose to speak." Matt said as he began decending down the cavern. "And you need not worry about me Forlirn. When I was a slayer, it was common for us to scale up cliffs in order to surprise our targets. If I survived that, then I can survive this."
~A comet causing a calamity? I wonder what they could mean by that?~ Anne thought as she listened to the speech. She also noticed the oddly dressed mage (or at least she assumed it was a mage) with the others. *That man has such poor tastes! How could one be expected to take him seriously when he is dressed like that?~ Curious as to what the mages were talking about, Anne interrupted the speech. "Good Sir, I missed the beginning of your speech. I was wondering what sort of reactions you expect to see in individuals? Will these reactions impact the ranks of the nobility?" Though technically rude to interrupt, Anne personally believed that others were expected to listen to her if she chose to speak.

<Separating them would definitely be in our best interests... though I have a feeling that Forlirn would be the best to keep alive, if we had a choice. He seems to be the most knowledgeable about Nrilgroth. To be honest, I don't think we have much of a chance at all without him.>
"Good, good," Forlirn replied, narrowing his eyes slightly as descended farther into the chasm. "It would be quite ironic if we came all the way here and, after preparing ourselves to face horrors beyond our darkest nightmares, one of us trips and breaks his neck."

"Ah, well, I'm certain you've heard the legends," the mage responded, pausing for only a short moment. "People go and get themselves involved with some magic of some sort and next thing they know they've been changed into a dragon or some sort, unable to turn back without going on some quest of some sort. Now granted, they are legends, but most legends have a grain of truth to them. And the thing with magic is it can really mess you up if you don't know what you're getting into. Magic is, of course, everywhere, so it's hardly going to mess things up normally. But this kind of magic isn't normally around, probably hasn't been around for years and years now, and we're not quite sure what it does. Chances are, it won't do anything at all, but we have noticed that certain people seem to be sensitive to magic. Thus, we thought we'd offer everybody a chance to make sure they're safe rather than just hope they're safe. The precaution is probably unnecessary, but you might as well know for sure instead of take the chance."
((I would have no problem with you submitting an ancient dragon. It'd probably be a good idea to give me a general overview of what you have in mind, first, as I have plans for quite a few ancients that I've yet to introduce in the thread.))

<I agree. Although there is no way to ensure that whatever is in there will not go after him. In that way, we do still rely on luck. Do you really believe that we cannot win without Forlirn though? I agree that he is useful and is increasing our chances of victory. But we've gained a lot of information from him. I personally think that we could still defeat Nrilgroth, though perhaps not as easily.>
Matt nodded and continued working his way down the chasm. As he got closer to the entrance, he drew his weapon and prepared himself mentally for the possible battle that awaited him.
"I see, thank you for your time good sir. I shall leave you to your work." Anne replied. She glanced at David, who was still bartering with the merchant. ~I think I shall buy one of those amulets. No doubt David will laugh at me for doing so, but I would rather be safe then sorry.~ She slowly made her way closer to the mages. Approaching the oddly dressed mage, whom she assumed was the one to talk to about selling amulets, she said "Excuse me mage, but I was wondering if I could purchase one of those amulets from you."
((Great. I can talk to you ingame at some point and give you an overview of my idea if you would like. I'm able to talk whenever is good for you.))

Although not a great fighter without magic, Rhen drew his sword. In the back of his mind he was thinking of how helpless he felt at that moment with only a sword. He hated the feeling. Although he knew the dangers of the void, part of him wanted to get lost in the energy and power that the void held. But then he remembered both Matt and Forlirn's words about not letting the thought of power corrupt his mind and pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the matter at hand. His grip tightened on the hilt of his sword, the black void crystalline structure that covered his arm clicking as his grip tightened.

Taika silently followed them, drawing one sword and wielding it her right hand, her non-dominant hand. ~I will save my left hand for later, although I am quite ambidextrous.~ She let her ears and nose take over the main focus of her mind, as the dark chasm made it difficult for even one with her eyes to see.
((Sorry for not posting in a while...spammers make me nervous... Mind if I post another bio? My posts are really short, so another character may give them more purpose.))

<Well, I think it would take us a lot longer without him. Possible longer than you have to live without the proper magic. We can't just run into the Abyss and expect to accomplish anything without proper planning beforehand, and he's been studying it for hundreds of years. Even then, I don't think we have much of a chance. Our enemy is an ancient, after all.>
"The chasm is very deep," Forlirn said, the sight of his form almost imperceptible in the darkness of the crevice. "It will likely take some time before we reach the actual ruins, should we continue at a normal pace. You'll probably want to ready your flashlights."
Frilarth quietly entered the crevice, frowning gently in apprehension. He seemed to be looking between Rhen and Taika.
The "mage" blinked, eying Anne boredly through his glasses before gesturing toward one of the other mages.
"He's the one handling sales," the young man answered, yawning lightly. "My purpose here is one of observation, primarily that of this comet's link with the same event occurring concurrently on Neuva."
((Very well. I can't say for certain when I'll be online as my schedule can vary greatly, but I'm normally online after 7 p.m. eastern time during the weekdays. I'm often online weekends, but my times are irregular. My private is always on while I play, so you should be able to message me if I'm online.))

<That's why I believe we need to warn the people of the worlds about the threat that they face. If we had an army by our side when we entered the abyss... well, I think we would have a better chance of victory anyway. Maybe we could even see victory within my natural lifetime.>
"Good point Forlirn. I think you have the flashlights in those bags. Can you give us them?" Matt asked. He remained surprisingly calm despite entering an area that was obviously very dangerous. ~Just like in my slaying days. I go in quickly, avoid contact with the enemy until given an oppertune moment (which may never happen considering what I am going up against), get any info that we can find, and get the hell out of there before I am killed. If I keep my cool, this should go off without a hitch.~
"I see, I apologize for the intrusion. If I may bother you though, I believe you are wasting your time here. The other world does not have any magic in it. What could possibly occur over there?" Anne asked.
((I'll try to talk to you sometime this week then. I can't give a specific date or time because i'm still working on my character. I should be done sometime this week, but I have no idea when. Also, just so you know, I'm probably going to keep some of my characters details to myself because there are some things I want to keep secret until an oppertune moment in the RP arrives.
EDIT: I personally think that someone should be seriously hurt and/or killed while in the ruins. They've been built up as a dangerous place so I think it would make sense. If you don't want to harm one of your characters, then you can use Matt, but please don't kill him.))

"How do you propose I hold a flashlight with only one hand when I am already holding a sword? Unless we brought headlamps I guess we will have one less blade." said Rhen, slight irritation in his voice.
~My condition is really starting to annoy me. If only I could find a solution aside from a mechanical replica that freezes up to replace my missing limbs. I know that Matt said I should not worry about it as much and put it aside but I find it hard to when I am constantly being reminded of it and my helplessness. Perhaps the void will hold a secret or two that I can use? Yes........perhaps it might.~ thought Rhen starting to let the though of power cloud his mind again before he shook them off as before and focused again on what was going on in reality.
(( When Darlatan posts about the comet I do plan on having something happen possibly so you might get your wish Conqueror. Maybe not a death but something close to it....))

<We'd have to plan it properly, though. We don't know what Nrilgroth is capable of in the Abyss. For all we know he could be able to just wipe out anything that wanders into the Abyss. Were we to go into the Abyss without knowing that... well, I'd rather not be the reason an entire army suddenly dies.>
"I can," Forlirn replied, stopping and rummaging through the supplies. He removed a flashlight moments later and offered it to Matthew, awkwardly holding it between two talons. "As for you, Rhen, I'd suggest staying near somebody with a flashlight. Though since it won't be freezing at the level the ruins are located in, you may be able to use your mechanical arm again."
"The exact nature of the absence of the lack of magic within our natural laws is one of debate in more scholarly circles," the man answered, somewhat dryly. "And does not seem to be entirely lacking in every possible aspect. Nevertheless, this is an important event. It would be remiss for us to ignore our Elunian partners during such an event."
((I shall hopefully be available whenever you decided to discuss the matter with me.
As for the matter of characters being seriously injured/killed, I shall remain mostly silent. What I will say is I will not force anything on anybody, provided nobody does anything ridiculously stupid.))
