Astrorious Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 rather than teleporting him as Gary had expected, the pearl turns red and lands on the ground on the other side of the plasma. "Umm.... well that's interesting..." Gary Throws another pearl, this time more up and over the plasma rather than through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) --Alexandira-- The Blue stuff IS more eco. While the Yellow Eco was out of context for Alexandria to a startling degree with it's imitation of, or tribute to, the nature of magic, this Blue Eco deals directly in velocity, speed, energy, electricity, and motion. Quote Floating Blue Eco: A Mysterious ball of energy, associated with Speed and Electricity, without a container, it is used automatically. When used, the user gains 3 Dex for 2 Turns, and Their Cooldowns lower by a free turn as the energy flowing through them increases their speed and energizes their bodies and tools. (18, 2) This is stored as well as 3 More Hard Light Bottles, and for the first time, Alexandria is "Faster." as her study causes her body to absorb the energy. If only because she is walking in Fast Forward... Everything from her end seems to have slowed down quite a bit. She is also emitting a field of Electronic Empowerment, causing any devices on her person that might be charging or recharging to do so faster, and any unpowered devices to have a sudden internal power supply. --Gary-- Throwing the next Ender Pearl, Gary Teleports far away, taking a hit for 4 Damage. --All-- The Lurkers leave behind their gear. There are two of these. Quote Spiked Wood Description: : A hunk of wood with bonus spikes of wood. Type: Weapon Damage: 2d6+Str Minimum Stats: 1 Syn Weight: 5 SYN/INT Threshold/Bonus: 3 Int: Heavy Things take time, Spending a turn to lift this weapon over one's head allows them to change it's damage dice to 3d10. Special Qualities: Can be converted into a "Throwing Spiked Wood" out of combat. Quote Throwing Spiked Wood: A hunk of wood with bonus spikes of wood, when used, deal 3d10+Dex Damage. Without any alterations, this weapon breaks when used like this. Can be converted into a "Spiked Wood" out of combat.

Aurorix Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Jade picks up the weapons of the Lurkers. They might become useful later. He takes a look up at the Red path and the vent spewing out red material. Curious about what exactly it does turns to Alexandira and asks, "Hey, mind boosting up onto the Red Path over here? Also these Lurker Weapons may prove useful, you can have some if you're interested." Pick up Spiked Wood x2 and Throwing Spiked Wood then call over Alexandira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRage Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Alexandria cooperates with Jade. She's curious about that red stuff too. It's probably another form of eco to analyze and collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrorious Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Gary looked around at the forest around him. he had landed quite far form where he attempted to through the pearl, but this could be adventurous. "Well, if we can't move the rocks... I could mine them; but I will need a pickaxe" Gary punches trees to get wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurorix Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Once Jade was lifted up to the red path he turned around and tipped his to Alexandria and spoke, "Thank you kindly. Now..." He turned around now walking over to the red vent sticking his hand out. "Only one way to figure out what this does." He wasn't warned about any red substance or Eco, only the black kind. So hopefully this won't have any adverse effects. Walk over and stick his hand into the stream of Red Eco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 --Alexandria+Jade-- By Boosting up off the other, Jade reaches the top of the Red Path, at the end, a Vent spewing a Burning Red Plasma, which they stick their hand into. Quote Floating Red Eco: A Mysterious ball of energy, associated with Raw Power, without a container, it is used automatically. When used, the user gains 3 Str for 2 Turns, and ignores 2 RES as red Energy wreaths their body and fuels them with destructive power. Jade feels strong enough to crush boulders for 2 turns, like their body is a wrecking ball, practically. --Gary-- Punching the trees, Gary obtains 4 Wood Logs.

Aurorix Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Jade pulled out his hand as he felt the red substance coursing through his body. He clenched his fist as it glows a deep red. The power coursing through him made him feel like he could take on the world. He turned back to those boulders blocking the entrance covered in the black eco. "I guess the first plan is backfiring, oh well. This place is source of green eco right? So being a little tainted for a short while shouldn't kill me." Jade mumbled to himself. He jumped off the red path and over to the boulders aiming for a spot with no or the least amount of Dark Eco and gave it a nice punch. Punch the boulders in the part with no or the least amount of Dark Eco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 --Jade-- Punching the Boulder pile, Jade manages to smash one, then another, and finally, there is nothing but rubble remaining after several blazing punches. Behind the boulders... ...There is a Locked door. A Pad on the ground in front of it has a stylized emblem of a lightning bolt, the Door is a solid wall in it's arch, with no visible seams.

Aurorix Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Ah, so this must be why the man said it needed blue eco to open. Jade turns back to Alexandria, "Hey, try pouring that blue eco onto this here pad. I'm sure that's how we unlock this door to get it." He points down the the pad and move the piece of grass in his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrorious Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 after only a small amount of punching, Gary obtains four logs. "Well, its not much, but it should do... lets see..." Gary attempts to craft two of the logs into planks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 --Jade-- ((For the sake of Expedience) Jade, having waited all of 3 seconds, becomes frustrated. The side effects of Red Eco driving them to just do it themselves. They go up the blue path, changing their charge to blue eco with the now cleared vent after using a nice heated punch on any log which may or may not be there, and then opening the door. This all happens pretty automatically, and the door opens, revealing the inky depths ahead. --Gary-- Gary obtains 8 Wood Planks from the 2 Logs.

Aurorix Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Alright, finally get the temple open. Now it's time to head inside! But what about Gary? Bah, I'm sure he'll catch up. Where did he go anyways? All that Jade knows is that standing around is getting nothing done so he enters the temple. Enter the Temple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Henderics Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 --Jade+Mitsu-- Jade and Mitsu go into the temple, following a tunnel of pure metal, which echoes and glows with lines trailing along. They come to the Tunnel's end, a Central room with a pillar in the middle of a gaping hole, Floating autonomous platforms intermingle with floating high speed spheres, which move overhead in dizzying formation. Flight, they think, is not recommended. The Pillar has another lightning bolt emblem on it. To two sides, there are two stairwells, one on the right and left. You cannot see where they lead from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurorix Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Jade whistled at the sight of the interior of the temple. Definitely not what he expected, though then again he didn't know what to expect. Seeing Mitsurugi head left he decided to follow behind her. In places like these it's best to stick together.

Astrorious Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Gary crafts a crafting station using 4 wood Gary crafts a tinker table (combination of all t-construct tables (mostly because I am lazy and don't want to waste anyone elses time by crafting a ton of things(otherwise it would have been 4 crafting operations))) using 2 logs, the crafting station, and the remaining 4 wood Gary punches more trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 --Mitsu+Jade-- Mitso and Jade take the Lefthand path, immediately to their right in the path is a closed door, which is ultimately recognized, then ignored as they move on, due to it not being operable as far as their cursory probing can tell. They come to a room filled with a Lime green Toxic Pit across the middle of it, pistons move in and out of the Pool, artful engravings on their heads, they submerge and re-emerge periodically, and an Esoteric Device sits on the other end of the pit. The Pistons are moving too fast to utilize them as platforms as is, unless the person involved had either a fetish for being thrown into a ceiling at high speeds, or an extremely strong grip to avoid that fate. A Ladder goes down into the pool of green juice, and on the other end of the pit, there is also a vent, currently inactive, with a pressure plate near it, jutting out like a rude gesture. --Gary-- Gary Easily Suceeds, this isn't his first rodeo, after all. Punching more Trees, Gary is eventually bitten by a snake in one of those trees, a strange reaction, probably some kind of randomly generated effect for this tree type or something, Gary might think. He takes 4 Damage in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Mitsurugi looked at the platforms for a moment. It would be quite difficult - or perhaps completely impossible - for most of her compatriots to cross to the other side of it and interact with the device located there. However, she wasn't quite bound by the same rules. She took a ready stance for a moment, then leapt gracefully over the pool, magically gliding over to the other side, unless something were to interrupt her flight.

Aurorix Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Jade looked at the pit and thought to himself, "No way in hell I'm going to jump this, we should probably find a different way to-" He then noticed Mitsurugi beginning to leap over the pit. He then thought to himself, "No way in hell am I going to let her show me up!" He then followed behind her trying to time his jump just right to get across.

DragonRage Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Alexandria obtains Red Eco samples, and follows Jade into the temple.

Hal Henderics Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) --Gary-- Gary Crafts a Wooden Sword and a Wooden Pickaxe Quote Name: Wooden Axe Description: More hammer than axe, a crude tool of carved wood.

(17, 3) Jade leaps across the pit, while getting gut checked by the edge, they manage to reach the other side, and scramble up. --Alexandria-- (9, 19) Going into the temple, samples obtained, Alexandria attempts to use a hard light spoon to get a sample of the toxic goop, but in addition to it electrocuting her for 4 Damage, the spoon is raised to reveal that it's tip has been comically reduced to a blackened stump of Spent nanomachinery and photons trapped within. She will need something stouter than that to take samples of the horrific substance. Edited February 23, 2017 by Hal Henderics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurorix Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Jade O'Duffle Well he's made it across, amazingly enough. Now lets see about that pressure plate. The quickest way to find out what it does is to stand on it so that is the plan. Jade walks forward and steps onto the pressure plate and activate what it activates.
