~~Throne Hall~~ ”So they summoned us to fight powerful m-monsters in other dimensions?” She says intimidated by the whole situation. She clenches her staff in both hands in fear. ”But why me? S-surely there are way better people for this kind of task than me from where I come from.”

~~Throne Hall~~ Hayle sighed. She didn't know where she was and now these two obnoxiously introduce themselves. Oh well, it could be worse. Hayle grabbed Dackly's hand and lifted herself up. ”While I could've done without the scare my name is Hayle, H-hayle Aster.” She brushed whatever snow that was left on her off. ”So do you know where this place is and is it anywhere near Ostia?” She asked the pair hoping they'd have some insight into their current location.

~~Throne Hall~~ Her fear slowly started to diminished and turned into confusion as the snake women start failing her rapier around. Maybe they didn't want to kill her? Then she got a bit ticked off after the snake admitted to trying to scare her. Who does that? She ought to freeze her where she... stands... slithers? Ah you get the point. But she restrained herself, she shouldn't freeze her even if she was being an annoyance. But then blocks and a green flame... spoke to her? This place is all types of weird isn't it. ”Uh... yes... I suppose so...” She spoke a bit confused and daunted by whoever or whatever she's talking to. ”What exactly are you, if you don't mind me asking?”

~~Throne Room~~ Hayle felt uneasy walking alone through the empty halls. It didn't help that she felt she was being followed or maybe the blurs she's seeing is just her mind playing tricks on her. Then Dackly made her spontaneous introduction from behind her and she jumped scared out of her mind. She let out a loud scream before falling on her butt and spewing out magical frost into the air above her which then turned into snow that fell all over her. Hayle looked behind her to see the a snake women towering over her. She pointed her ice staff at the monster shakily and spoke meekly, ”Y-you better s-stay back! I'm warning y-y-you!”

Hayle Aster ~~Throne Hall~~ As the darkness slowly faded away Hayle would soon realize that she was on the floor of a strange throne room. ”Huh... where am I?” This was definitely not that place she was before and why was she here? Maybe she was just having a strange dream, yea that was most likely it. She tried to force herself awake by pinching herself but all she felt was pain. I guess this is real. Well, just lying on the floor won't get her anywhere. She slowly got up and swiped off any dirt on her robes, mainly focusing on the white sections as muck tends to show up easily on white. She wandered around a bit before calling out, ”H-hello? Is anyone else here?” Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to be speaking out loud since she doesn't know if the people around are good or not. But, eh, it's already too late.

Jade O'Duffle "Well, so much for that idea. I say we come back once this place has had a bit more time to be cleaned up." Jade speaks before walking towards the exit. He would have liked to explore the place more but there just was not enough time. He went to where the ship was suppose to some back to and once it arrived got on board. Leave the Graveyard and head back to the Castle

Jade O'Duffle Seeing the locked door ahead of them Jade ponders on how they could opening. Finding the key would be too dangerous with all the Dark eco still present and the ship would be here any second now. "Well, I have a single idea. I say we try it and if it doesn't work we head back." Jade tells Enma. He goes to the door, checking it one more time to see if it was truly locked before just trying to kick the door open. Check if the door is actually locked, if it is attempt to kick it open.

Jade O'Duffle After looking around Jade heard footsteps coming from behind him. Cautious he had his hand near his gun, just in case the one approaching wasn't so friendly. However, it seems that it was only one of his comrades. Strange how these two would get acquainted in an infected graveyard of all places. "Heh, lets just say I had some unfinished business here. Mainly coming here to find out why this place has been infected and maybe find something interesting here or there. The name is Jade by the by, Jade O'Duffle. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He followed his introduction by tipping his hat, though he had to put more work into the pull. Man, that upgrade really made the better but also heavier.

A smile grew back onto Belros' face after the wyvern's lick. For some reason he just couldn't be anger or sad around the guy. "I guess instead of being jealous of the two, I should be happy for them..." He his hand on Ecquis' head before scratching behind the wyvern's ears. "Besides, being angry or sad all the time is something neither of us right, Shadow Savior?"

While leaning against the wyvern Belros couldn't help but feel something familiar when looking at the Romani couple. Like starring at the two being happy and safe once again made him feel immense sadness and anger. "Oh yea... they're so similar it almost makes me sick just watching." He thinks to himself angrily before letting out a sigh. He wanted to go up there so badly and tell them how lucky they are that they were around to help and what could've happened if they weren't. But if he did that he'd only be digging a deeper hole for himself and ruin the mood. He wasn't going to have another bar situation but life really is unfair isn't it. "Teh, I guess some people do get happy endings after all." He mumbled to himself forgetting Ecquis was still near.

Did the wyvern really trust him enough to start to want to circle around him? Ussally most animals would be a bit scared to interact with someone they don't know. Or maybe he's confident that if Belros did try something he could fight back. Either way, Belros shrugged. He couldn't think of a reason why he shouldn't take a seat around the draco. While he was spotless in terms of battle wounds, he was still a bit tried after running up and down those hills. He waited for Ecquis to settle in before sitting down himself, leaning against the wyvern.

Belros glanced at the wyvern who nudged him. Did the draco want some attention? Well, he did just ferry three people across the river, himself included. He let out a sigh. He couldn't say no to him. "Yea, you did good today too buddy." He remembered that Myrdwyn scratched him underneath his jaw so he went to go scratch him there. He really knew nothing of wyverns nor where they did or didn't liked to be pet.

"Gah!" Belros yelped as he was picked up, rather obnoxiously, by the wyvern. Why couldn't she have picked him up like last time rather than by this draco's talons? "Hey uh, Myrdwyn, next time we try doing something like this could you just fly me over regularly? Getting lifted up by the talons does really inspire confidence, but other than that I think it went pretty well." He would give a thumbs up if he weren't still held by the wyvern. "Speaking of which, mind dropping my off? I prefer having my feet on the ground."

"Teh, well isn't this great..." He muttered before yelling out "EVERYONE, YULLEN NEEDS SOME HELP ASAP. WE'D BOTH BE GLAD WITH SOME HELP DOWN HERE!" It hurt his pride to ask for help but he didn't have any healing aids on him so there was nothing he could do. "Oh no... We have to help those two quickly!" Alunda speaks up before trying her best to clear the path as much as possible. Alunda moves to I11 and attacks Mage D with Photon However, this mage seemed to be more capable than the rest as he was easily able to jump out of the way of Alunda's strikes.

Jade O'Duffle "Phew, that could've ended badly." Jade speaks to himself with relief. "I should really find a lantern or something to light this place up. Oh wait..." He pulls out one of the spiked woods those creatures by the temple dropped. He then loads his gun with pyro rounds and lays the wood onto the ground before firing a couple of rounds into tip of it to catch it on fire. Now with a light source illuminating the area Jade looks around for anything else suspicions before moving forward. Turn Spiked Wodd into a Torch using Pyro Rounds and then check the nearby area for anything dangerous.

Jade O'Duffle Being wary of the remnants of Dark eco around Jade makes his way through the main path. "I guess this dark eco stuff is more resilient then I realized or maybe there was just a lot more in here than I thought." He mumbles to himself as he enters one of the Catacombs that seem to be the least infested with Dark Eco. Enter one of the Catacombs

Hayle Aster, Ice Sage

Jade O'Duffle After Jade was done with his tinkering he headed off to the graveyard. He assumed the green eco had cleansed it of it's corruption and it was safe to explore. They had been gone for a while, I'm sure it couldn't be THAT slow, could it? Head over to Graveyard

Jade O'Duffle As the queen bug was impaled and soon defeated Jade spun his revolver before putting it back in it's scabbard. "We did good today everyone. Let's grab what we came for and head back." He spoke before heading over to where the stone tablet was and picked it up. He also picked up what seemed like an equal portion of precursor orbs lying there. Also some of those honeycombs and wax maybe useful. Unfortunately the acid from the bug seemed to have gotten inside his grass pouch and all the grass was either already wilted or is now soaked in acid. He dumped it out and filled his pouch with some of the honey combs and the wax Picked up: 25 Precursor Orbs Precursor Slablet 3 Honey Combs 1 Black Wax Once everyone was ready to go he headed back through the portal and back to the lab where he set the Slabet on a relatively empty table. "Alright Lass, here's what you asked for. I hope you can make good use out of it." He spoke to Lua Da tipping his soggy hat to her. Honestly he needed to fix up his hat. It was worn before but this is just ridiculous. "I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna use your lab for some tinkering." Jade spoke to her before taking the orbs he had, some power cells, and some yellow eco and starting tinkering with his hat. After a bit of work his hat looked rejuvenated and filled with new life. It was also integrated with precursor technology and had a glowing yellow indent in the front of the hat. Apparently he had integrated a plasma blast system within the hat. But he didn't stop there, with some left over orbs he had from before he took some green eco from her workshop and made a new type of ammunition for his gun. If it worked properly, which it should then he should be able to heal his allies with it. Crafting:

The Mage seeing and hearing the knight's and his clunky armor's approach, the mage attempts to jump out of the way of the javelin but his leg still gets gashed buy the spear. He then angrily retaliates with a plume of fire Cheat Sheet:

Jade O'Duffle (16/38 HP, 4/6 Pyro Rounds) "Just be careful not to squish yourself." Jade tells Mitsurugi before stepping back and opening the bottle he had filled with green eco from before and using the green substance it to patch some wounds. Use the Green Eco in the Bottle

Jade O'Duffle (25/38 HP, 5/6 Pyro Rounds) Jade became furious after the bug got muck all over his precious hat. He's had that hat for ages now and to see it in such a sorry state saddened him beyond belief. "There are a couple a things in this world that you just don't mess with...ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS MY HAT!" He voiced his anger at the bug even though it probably couldn't understand his speech. "You'd with you hadn't done that you insect." He then fires a bullet at the queen once more, once again aiming for her face. Aim to Kill with Pyro Rounds on Dark Vespiquen
