~Legacy FEF~

OOC Thread is here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174669.0)

~♪~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGd88ZdS054)

Upon the tidally locked planet of Centralia, there exists a city of the same name. That city burns now, overrun by man and monster. These forces are under the command of a man who calls himself the War Breaker, a powerful wizard who is capable of using advanced magic to tear open magical portals. These portals allow himself and his forces to move from one world to the next, subjugating their people and establishing the rule of the War Breaker on every plane of existence. The city of Centralia is special however.

Centralia is built around a mighty temple, in which only a few are permitted. Those few are named Guardians, and what they guard is the Nexus. An ancient and mysterious device that allows one to scry upon other worlds and times, for those who know how to operate it. Since ancient times, using the Nexus to travel between worlds and times has been forbidden, and any who would seek to use it for such a purpose would be killed or banished.

But now, nearly all the Guardians have been slain in its defense. A great magical barrier prevents the approach of the remainder of the War Breaker’s forces, but it will not last forever. And when it falls, the War Breaker will be able to move to any world with his wicked army, and all worlds will be steeped in blood. Blood that, were I not to act, would be upon my hands.

The Nexus is under siege. I am the last survivor. My friends and colleagues fell to the might of the Conqueror while I alone survived. But for the sake of all worlds, I cannot allow the Nexus to fall. I… know that what I am about to do is forbidden. Wrong. But I must. This ritual will call forth warriors and heroes to fight by my side, to slay the Conqueror and restore peace. The nature of the ritual does ensure that they will not begrudge me this. But will I be able to forgive myself for doing what must be done?

Enough. I cannot waste what time I have. I must begin.

In a harshly lit room of polished marble, eleven heroes lay upon soft beds, slowly waking, one by one. They are unarmed, for now, and each of their heads are in a deep fog, barely able to think. Their names, that they can recall, but little else. At the far end of the room, a man sits in a simple but beautiful wooden chair, observing them. A book sits beside him, likely set down as those before him began to stir.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) As one of them turns their eyes upon them, he swallows hard, and speaks. “Greetings, warrior. Are you able to stand? I, and every world, must ask you to offer your strength unto me.”

Everyone is in!

Catherine Hirana woke up, and immediately started taking stock of the situation without apparently noticing the man. She remembered her name. She remembered... mostly implicit memory, she figured; things like what things were, language, and so on. Her explicit memory was essentially nill. That was not normal. She assumed, at least, considering she couldn't really remember if it was normal or not. She then checked if she had anything on her - the clothes on her back. Her glasses. That was about it. She looked around - ten more people waking up, in addition to the man who had spoken. Well then. The man seemed to know something more, so she followed that - she stood up, and turned to the man.

(https://i.imgur.com/8QuSEkJ.png)"Yes, I can stand. What do you mean, offer my strength?" she said simply. She remembered her various skills with magic, she was fairly certain. She didn't remember how she'd learned, but what she had learned was still present. Good.

The Donnar were a mighty tribe, one of the mightest of Jaiep. They were talented hunters, masters of tracking, and the Ravens of the Donnar, the great shamans who saw the tribe's hunts become successful through masterful divination were the greatest and most celebrated of the tribe's members. Among the greatest was Pwyll, son of Lleu, son of Gwydion, and the only Raven greater still than him was Branwen, his daughter, and the woman who had helped save Jaiep and the other worlds of Tardore from an otherwise inevitable doom, even reclaiming the lost world of Cor and its people from their spectral half-life.

By all rights, Branwen ap Pwyll deserved a dignified entry. She alone of the heroes gathered, perhaps, could lay claim to having saved multiple worlds, not just her own. She alone could claim to have ridden Cliona, her faithful giant raven, upon the waves of Jaiep's oceans, the icy peaks of Tangur, the verdant rainforests of Ssistyl. She alone could claim to have saved an entire world, an entire planet from the folly of the worlds around them.

By all rights, Branwen ap Pwyll did not receive a dignified entry.
....
The shaman woke up, sprawled on the bed in a decidedly undignified manner, groaning. She wrenches herself to her feet, her head pounding, the strength seemingly sapped from her bones. She felt nothing but the clothes on her back, the memory of something held in her hands rapidly fading from her mind's eye like a dying candle's flickering light.

And she knew nothing.

(https://i.imgur.com/QoWsQp1.png) "This.....this isn't home."
(https://i.imgur.com/Ik3tHgb.png) "And yet I can't remember what home is."

The bearded man speaks. She recognises the attire as foreign, not of her home, but the question was what was home? The others too were foreign. She didn't recognise any one of them, not that she was sure she could given she couldn't remember a damn thing.

Otiros rubbed the back of his helmet in pure confusion when he noticed he was slumbering on a completely different place and bed. When he tapped the side of the bed trying to reach for his crossbow..There was nothing, this was truly odd-What was he even doing before he ended up there? Slowly he sat on the bed and glanced around to examine his odd surroundings before fully turning his attention to the stranger directing his other towards him and the other unknown figures.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "I feel...Dizzy. Where are we? What is this place?"
The armored figure stood up and tapped his armor a few times, not even understanding WHY he was slumbering already geared up in the first place.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "...I have no idea what is this place, or where I am from. And the more I think about it, the more concerned I grow. What is going on?"

Besieged? That meant danger. The shaman kicks herself mentally for even taking so long to think of that; her mind was foggy, far too foggy for her liking. Branwen was groggy; she was sure this man had something to do with it.

She wanted answers.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "The function of the ritual that I used, unfortunately, does not preserve the memories of the target. Though according to first hand accounts of the previous casting, your memories should return over time."

"The people around you, and you yourself, are great and powerful warriors. Each called from across worlds to aid me in my darkest hour. We are under siege from a massive number of foes. And we have precious little time to make ready before they are able to attack this temple properly. We must make preparations with haste."

(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "...This brings a LOT of new questions. Such as...Why did you have to bring us here in the first place? Don't you have your own troops to defend your kingdom?"
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "And I do feel a bit...Weak, is this also a consequence of your magic?"
At this point he was concerned that him and those other people were being dragged in the middle of a war in a state they really couldn't fight properly. But then again, it wasn't like they had an option there now, was it?
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "I take it you are at least willing to provide us with weapons?"

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) The man looked down at the floor. "We have some automatons, but... I am the only guardian of the Nexus who remains. Without you, I have no chance." At the subject of weapons, he seemed to grow more confident. "Yes! I can, of course, arm you. Though I'm afraid what I have available is not particularly exotic... But I'm sure there will be weapons that you can use easily. Medicines as well."

Branwen needed to know as much as possible. She didn't remember very much, but fighting, that felt natural, that felt like something she could do.

(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "...A crossbow, yes, that's what I will be needing."
Even if he couldn't remember about his own home, he knew for a fact this was the kind of weapon he used for fighting.

Catherine nodded. Temporary amnesia, then. Hopefully the key word would be temporary.

(https://i.imgur.com/8QuSEkJ.png)"If we are to be provided weapons, a tome. Some variety of fire is preferable. ...Also, a notebook and writing tool would be appreciated, but that is not quite as urgent a concern." Logically speaking, she should be confirming whether this man was in fact the "good guy" before she agreed to help.. But at the moment she was short options and he was asking for her help anyway.

(https://i.imgur.com/Ik3tHgb.png) "I request a spear, then.....and perhaps a steed. Something that flies."
The feelings of reins beneath Branwen's fingers and the wind beneath her feet felt....familiar. Not that she could remember where from, but presumably it was something she'd done before if it had felt right.

Vahn woke slowly, fighting through the fog as a drowning man might struggle to reach the air. When he awoke, he felt instinctively that something... no, everything, was wrong. His hand reached out for... something by instinct, to help him get up. What was it again?

He lay there for awhile, eyes barely open, and listened to the chatter. Two women, two men. Why were there people around him? That was something else that felt wrong, but he didn't know why. With a tired grunt, he managed to force himself into a sitting position, and then swung his legs off of the bed.

He was dressed in a traveling cloak and leather armor. From that he could deduce that he hadn't intended to be sleeping. And one of the men talked about needing warriors before he cut himself off. Vahn reflected on that. Why him? Was it his name? He felt his name was important, but he could also feel death in his bones; he didn't remember much, but he knew he was old. Would he be of any use?

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyfafy621fhr4dp/Epilogue.png?raw=1) "...A staff, or a club. Something hard. And dark magic that weakens my enemies. I can still use that."

'Still'? Why had he said that? But he felt that that was correct. His magic had been getting weaker as he aged, and now it was all but gone. But his hand to hand experience was still ingrained in his old muscles. He just needed a chance to stretch them out.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyfafy621fhr4dp/Epilogue.png?raw=1) "Brannon... Vahn Brannon."

And perhaps he would also remember, eventually, why his voice sounded like someone dragging a heavy coffin over gravel and broken glass. He touched his throat; perhaps the heavy scar tissue there had something to do with it.

Did anyone have a stranger journey than the self proclaimed Artist of the Abyss? In a place where heroes where more shade and memory than true substance, where flesh had given way to souls, where the endtime darkness sapped the very sun from the sky and the Gods rotted on their thrones...a heroine was summoned to the land of the still-living, still-breathing, not yet ruined. As if gravity had suddenly upended, or the seasons turned from winter to summer in a handspan.

Iris had always dreamed of recreating a world in her own image, one with color and life-though in this central paradox of our story, the moment Iris found this living world, she could not remember that she ever had desired it so.

...

The woman in the corner took several minutes merely breathing in and out steadily. She seemed confused and lost, much more so than her companions. Every motion seems hesitant, like a child learning to walk. Iris stays very still.

(https://i.imgur.com/EnzPc3X.png) "...Iris...my name is Iris..." She says to herself, quietly-repeating it several times.

...

Eventually, she reflected on the conversation being played out.

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "...Right. Now something feels familiar about all this." Iris said to herself, steadying her stance.

She somehow knew this-only through the trial of combat would she find what she had lost. She clung to this feeling, as it was comforting...about maintaining a purpose when you had nothing else...and being the last ones alive, bailing water from a sinking ship...the mans desperation was clear to her as...something she couldn't recall. But it was different as well, in a way she also couldn't fathom. For now she would let that purpose the guide her. There was a sense she had so much left to do...and something grand, yet to be done. Of course-some mysteries, like some knots, were best cut through directly.

He had chosen this warrior well.

...

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "I will require...well, I forget. I performed...magic. But I hated...it was so much more...I was...I am an artist?" Iris asked the man who had summoned her. She began to make a swishing motion with her left hand, as if holding a short stick of some sort. "Since I am reduced to farcical pantomime, what is this? I am not like the blonde girl. I need certain additional things to do my...work. I performed...a kind of investiture." Her tone grew cold and demanding, as this vital piece of her identity seemingly eluded memory.

(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "A few weeks? Good, for a moment I thought this siege truly was already knocking on the gates of this place...This will give us enough time to at least prepare a proper formation."
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "...And hopefully enough time for us to get some of our memories back too."
Otiros' attention turned to the other stranger speaking up, and as he openly said his name, perhaps it was time for him to do the same.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "Otiros Dryadson."

Post by: Dwarmin on September 26, 2019, 10:54:50 am
Iris didn't know what to think of the man in the garish purple armor, like a walking talking bruise.

But the older man seemed familiar somehow. Not in a sense she knew him (though she couldn't know she didn't know that), but in a sense he would have fit in where she had been...not that she could remember she had come from....

Her tone thawed something as she turned to them, though it was still decidedly frigid.

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "...Pleasure to make your acquaintances, Mr. Dryadson...Mr. Brannon. My name is Iris Baker. "

On instinct, without conscious thought, she performed a perfect curtsy, bowing and bending her skirt. Very formal. She had no idea why she had done that. She fault vaguely ridiculous.

Catherine raised an eyebrow at the new girl speaking, feeling a sense of curiosity that felt familiar. She wasn't sure what she did for a living, but it would seem that it involved questions. She didn't know any practice besides healing magic that needed something besides a tome. Of course, she could well have forgotten.

(https://i.imgur.com/8QuSEkJ.png)"Oh? Yes, names, of course. I am Catherine Hirana. I'd say it's a pleasure, but in these circumstances..."

Seeing her formal introduction, Vahn attempted a bow in response. It wasn't the best - he wasn't used to them and his body didn't like the sudden movement besides - but he felt it was good enough for politeness's sake.

Iris brightened as the young blonde woman spoke up. There was something about her that made her stand out to the artists eye. Hair like...a fine morning in summer. Just like the Purple Paladin and the Greying Geezer, Iris briefly reflected on how her mind seemed to be picking up primary colors first before anything else. This was a clue...she conferred with the Summer Sorceress as she pondered this.

(https://i.imgur.com/ryD9PIf.png) "...oh yes, things are quite horrible, and are bound to grow worse." She admitted mercilessly, her strange teal eyes flashing with mischief. "An endless siege, no one left but us to guard the gates, impossible odds against an unknown foe and all that. I wonder if we're the first group he's brought here? Or the last? So many questions...

If this was a play I'd be preparing for tears in the final act...but somehow, I don't feel at all discouraged. Maybe I've been through worse? Who can say..."

Otiros responded to the polite greeting by closing a hand into a fist and slamming it against his chest plate to salute.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "It is a pleasure to meet you all. It seems that we will be working together under these specific circumstances."
The armored figure took a moment to examine the new strangers, both appearance and behavior considering at least some of them were now awake and speaking.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "Do not admit defeat before the battle even starts. We do have enough time to prepare against this unknown foe, and while I am not sure how capable each one of you are-I would assume strong enough to give this stranger a reason to bring us here."
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "For now gearing up and learning more about this force we are going up against are priorities. If he is willing to share us some information about what we are going to face, that is."

Julius’ eyes snapped open to the tune of throbbing pain. It coursed through his chest radiating outward, bringing feelings of absolute coldness with it. It chilled him to the bone and kept Julius frozen, not even able to  move, or cry for help, or even observe his surroundings.

And then suddenly... it stopped. The pain vanished in the blink of an eye, so suddenly that it would make one wonder if it was ever really there. Confused and alarmed, Julius attempted to push himself up into a sitting position, but for whatever reason his mind felt slow to start, and his body with it, and it took him a couple tries before he managed to avoid sliding back down onto the downy bed.

Looking down, he could see that he was wearing a strange outfit, made of fine materials that for some reason felt... unfamiliar to him? It seemed like it didn’t quite fit either, the green shirt pulling tight around his neck and shoulders, while the jacket may have been just slightly too large. There were bigger concerns at hand however, and Julius turned his attention to the others in the room, silently observing while he caught his breath. And the more they spoke... the more he could feel something else blooming in his chest. He didn’t quite know why, but with every word he could feel his heart racing in exhilaration.

(https://i.imgur.com/zIOf0lf.png) “A gathering of heroes. I... I need to... I’ll gladly join you! Give me a weapon... anything will do. Something like this... this... quest. I know not why but I can feel my heart sing for it. I think.”

He sat up straighter and pulled himself off the bed. With his first step he stumbled, nearly tumbling right onto the floor before catching himself, and as he stood he shook his head to clear his thoughts.

(https://i.imgur.com/dwSDP43.png) ”Apologies, I’m getting ahead of myself. My name... my name is Julius Orto. It is an honor to be selected for such an auspicious gathering.” He said, giving a nod to each of the others in the room.

When seeing him stumble, Iris had made the preemptive protective movements that indicated she would have caught him had he fallen all the way.

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png)"Yes, some of us have had a bit more trouble waking up than others...quite an excitable young man. Good morning, Mr. Orto."

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "Strip a blade of hilt, basket and ornamentation. Is it still sharp enough to cut?

The working may intentionally shield certain parts of our memories to make us more...pliable. I don't mean some sort of enchantment, just a way to let us get accustomed to this world without things distracting us. Maybe Mr. Vahn over there has a Kingdom he's in charge of, for example, and now his sons are squabbling over the throne with swords. Maybe I own a little bakery in some corner of reality, and the oven is growing cold. Over time our memories return, but we are then committed to this place. And our sense of commitment-of duty-I feel is strongly bound to each of us. Now we can concentrate on what really matters. Defending everything...or destroying what needs must.

An unfortunate concept.

Maybe the magic chose us-or we were chosen-because once you took away everything else...we are duty bound, and the most efficient killers that could be found in all the worlds. Well, at least I would hope I am...I feel I am always seeking perfection."

Another figure groaned, and began to shift, a massive, 6'5" man of middling age clad in remarkably heavy armor, with an equally massive shield on his back, one which had been pressing into the bed -- when the figure sat up, the bed appeared to have quite suffered from the armored man's presence, crushed in parts. It took him a little while --through much of the briefing-- to finally move off of the bed... yet, when the man swung his legs out and stood up, he made a solid step, and then another, a stolid figure.
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"I suspect that I am getting a bit too old for this."

He pulled the shield off of his back, looking it over and rapping his armored knuckles on it once, twice, coming to a rapid decision.
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"I think I've got this shield for a reason, though. I may as well protect with it."

Now, he looked over the others -- an eclectic bunch, to be sure, but that didn't really seem to bother him as much as it perhaps should.
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"Hello there. My name is Alexander Jorinn. I'm afraid my memory is full of fog like the rest of you, but it would appear that I am some form of knight."

He looked over his shield again. He felt an intimate desire to use it.

Catherine made a mental note to write down the facts and theories once she had a notebook. She didn't know for sure, on account of the memories, but that felt like something she did a lot.

It is far too dangerous in the wrong hands. Were I not alone, I would have been flogged for even suggesting the idea of it's use.

A sturdy young man, perhaps in his late teens, stirred as he choked on empty air. There had been a curious sensation of being buried alive, gone almost at once but still disconcertingly real. A byproduct of the summoning ritual a strange male voice was talking about, perhaps? Well, he'd probably never know and it probably didn't matter. Even through the haze in his head it seemed pretty clear that he was not, in fact, buried.

The man swung his legs out of bed and slowly sat up, rubbing his face and feeling a circle of glass in front of one eye. Corrective lens, maybe? That seemed likely, though with his eyes still firmly shut he couldn't tell. He flexed his muscles to determine his condition and couldn't feel any pains or aches. The weight and jangle whenever he moved told him that he was dressed in some form of armor. Was he a fighter, then? Yes, that seemed right. It sounded as though some of the others in the room knew they could use magic, and he certainly knew nothing of the sort.

Reluctantly, he decided that he had to open his eyes and start getting a handle on things. Looking around, he was at least reassured that everyone (with the possible exception of the strange armored one) appeared to be human. He didn't think he could handle being surrounded by monsters.

Ciera Zephyr was unsure of many things. Who she was, where she was from, why she had a delicate and intricate gold ring on her left hand... But there was one thing she was certain of. She had not gotten enough sleep. As the others around her stirred and discussed their situation, she was continuing to bury her head into her pillow, pulling the blankets up over head, until finally, she realized that she had to admit defeat.

Slowly, begrudgingly, she sat up, only to realize that she was in a thick floor length nightgown instead of clothes or armor like the others in the group. A blush quickly crossed her face and she wrapped the blanket around herself just as an extra precaution and then moved towards the others in the group.

"Yes, well, hello! My name is Ciera Zephyr and apparently, you grabbed me while I was sleeping! I don't suppose you have anywhere around here that I could change, do you? And some clothes, since apparently I don't have any of those?"

Otiros tilted his head the moment another stranger woke up, and this time someone who sounded perhaps a tad too eager to get himself in a fight without even getting answers related to how he got there.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "Quite the eager fellow, aren't you, Orto? Take your time to regain your posture, the fight will not immediately start."
His attention soon returned to the other strangers waking up, at least none of them seemed to be truly freaking out about their lack of memory so perhaps it wasn't going to be -that- difficult to prepare themselves for a fight. With the figure that summoned them finally giving them his name, the armored man gave a brief nod in response and moved a gloved hand under his helmet pondering for a moment.

The pink-haired individual went from seemingly sound asleep to quite awake, judging by the way she leapt up to her feet (on top of the bed, no less) and immediately began shouting.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZL7mt8W.png)"What is the meaning of this? You've kidnapped Hoshiko the Righteous, Hero of Justice and Savior of. . . uhh . . ." Her shouting trailed off as her train of thought shot directly off a cliff, relying on the rails of memories that happened to be absent at the moment. She shook her head, then dropped into a fighting stance, wielding knives that also seemed to be missing in action. "You'll regret drugging the Fiery Goddess's foremost servant and. . . also taking her, um, weapons."

Another silhouette had been strewn about on the floor, a man cloaked in a green-dyed longcoat. As the conversation around picked up, those keen of eye could notice the man stirring, ever so slightly, before falling still again. Those paying even closer attention could notice him rolling slightly onto his side. Only then did he begin to rise.
(https://i.imgur.com/iicuGaZ.png): "...Rrgh..."

Though he only managed to bring himself up to a kneel, it was plainly obvious the man was quite tall, though thin, and he wore a long bunch of hair in a ponytail that reached down the middle of his back. His jaw tightened, the rough chinstrap beard and stubble accenting his gritting teeth. The man scratched his head, a gesture of disarming affect coupled with his clouded expression, just before his eyes quickly and intensely darted between each of the individuals present.
(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "...What a bother. I can't say any of you look familiar. Just what have I gotten myself..." His face flexes as his gaze drifts to the floor, his mind apparently drifting, "...into..."

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "Now that each of you are up and about, I think now would be the time to explain just that. I apologize for the state you find yourselves in. I used powerful summoning magic to bring capable warriors to fight for my cause. That’s why you’re here. Your memories should return over time, and your battle skill should be the first thing to recover. But we cannot wait for your faculties to fully recover. Come, let me show you the nature of the threat." Friedman led the group down a short hallway, and out onto a balcony overlooking a courtyard.

A bright green barrier covered the immediate area, bathing the exterior of wherever they were in a sickly color. Below them, on the ground, bodies littered the courtyard, bloodstains pooling beneath them. Many of the bodies wore strange armor, or were clearly monstrous, but others wore garb much like Friedman’s. Through the barrier, a mass of shifting silhouettes were visible, repeatedly slamming battering rams and weapons into the shield. Splashes of flame, darkness, and light collided with the shields from every direction, though no sound made its way through the shield. It was eerily quiet. "As you can see, there is an army at the gates of the Nexus. The barrier will hold for some time, but not forever. We must be ready to stop what lies beyond it when it collapses."

The green-coated man followed reluctantly. At the very least, he was willing to take up his host's hospitality for the given moment, but his movements were tense, and his face remained clouded.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) Friedhelm ushered the group back inside, and led them back the way they came, not stopping this time in the room with the beds. "The barrier has not seen use in thousands of years, so I can only make assumptions based on the records that are available to me. There are signs to be noted when the shield is weakening, and, as of yet, they are not present. But in terms of your strength relative to the force outside the gates... As the situation stands, I could not hope to defeat them with one hundred of you, let alone eleven. But I have a plan." The group was directed through several more rooms, until they came into a large chamber with a crystal clear glass ceiling. It set the room awash in the same sickening green tinge, but there was a second source. A great stone archway, filled with shimmering green energy. "This is the Nexus itself. It is an access point to an energy field that links all worlds. This is what the War Breaker, the leader of the force besieging our gates, seeks. With it, he aims to conquer all realities, to rule them as he sees fit. We cannot, and must not allow this."

“Our role at the Nexus is... Was one of observers. We peer through the Nexus, without traveling through it, to observe other worlds. Their inventions, their science, their magic, their philosophy, and we put it to use in our own society. And among the things we’ve discovered is a method to bestow incredible power on singular beings of great skill and power. I aim to use this method to empower each of you. Unfortunately, it requires resources we don’t have. Magical artifacts of great strength. Currently, almost all of our magical power is devoted to the maintenance of the barrier. So I will need to dispatch you to retrieve suitable artifacts, so that I may transform them into catalysts for the power you need. It will be dangerous. Such items are seldom unguarded. But I am confident in the spell I used to bring you here. I know you can do it.”

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) Friedhelm grimaced. "No, the items I intend for you to retrieve rightfully belong to the worlds which I will send you to. In a very real sense, you will be pillaging these worlds. In truth, the laws of my world dictate that the course of action we are to undertake is extremely taboo. But the alternative is to allow that dictator to take control over all of creation through bloody conquest. I will not stand aside for it.” Friedhelm reached into a pocket, and withdrew a pale white crystal. "This is a gemstone that I've enchanted such that it will respond to the artifacts that I've scouted. In their vicinity, this gem will glow brightly red, and ever brighter as it draws nearer. Once you have secured the item, I will recall you, that you may take what rest you need before you go in search of the next."

(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "That is a lot of information to shove in our heads, with a lot more of questions too. For example...WHO created the Nexus? Because this probably would have be avoided by not creating something so dangerous."
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "Also isn't it a bit...Odd to be visiting other worlds and basically stealing their knowledge and technology? Because I don't classify using what you learn as just 'observing' a world."

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "Perhaps you are right in that it ought not to exist. But the Nexus has been here since before we began keeping records. We have no way of knowing who made it, or for what purpose. We do not visit other worlds, only observe. Copy open pages of books, observe court, listen to recounted histories and debates, et cetera. We learned very early that the circumstances of the world we are currently on to be quite precarious. For our own survival, it has been imperative that we use what could be learned from others to secure a future for ourselves. I admit, there was a time when we would physically travel through the Nexus to take what we needed from other worlds, but that time has been behind us for centuries. Was behind us."

Almost reflexively, as the guardian spoke, the stranger reached behind him to grasp at something- but ultimately his hand only found air.

Ciera brightened at the story, though few others seemed excited by it. She stood up as tall as her meager height allowed her and grinned at the man who had summoned them here.

"Well, I'll do it! Everyone else is probably just being a worrywart, but if you have the magic to bring us here and all of that, I trust you'll be able to send us back eventually too! Plus like the old guy said, worst case we just fight you if we need to! I'll take that crystal, by the way. Since one of us needs to hold it."

She liked the look of the gem, plus it felt like she should get it since she was the most on board with all of this so far. That made sense, right?

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "None of you had anything you don't have on you. Though I did take the liberty of providing you each with something." Friedhelm tapped on a silver band with a green gemstone on his right index finger. A quick inspection revealed to anyone who cared to check that they were wearing identical rings. "An All-Tongues ring. I was concerned that you might have been even more confused if you weren't able to understand each other. In any case, I can provide you with journals, writing instruments, any sort of mundane equipment you might require."

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "Certainly, we can go right away." Friedhelm didn't notice the sleight of hand, and upon reaching the armory, it seemed he'd understood Alec regardless. "We don't have many instruments, but there are some. Are you a performer then? I can't imagine another reason you could have to ask." The armory was neatly filled with a variety of rather basic weapons, sorted by type, each almost exact copies of their fellows. "Take whatever you like. Don't be shy." Without the ring, Alec had no more trouble understanding Friedhelm or any other speaker than he'd had before. Curious.

All weapons in both the players handbook and Third Tier Book up to rank D (excluding devil weapons) are available, as well as all weapons of: Iron, Steel, and Silver.
Arc and Rex tomes are also available, as are Shadow tomes, Divine, Cleanse, Sin, and Goeti.

Heal, Antidote, Mend, and Soothe staves are available, and also E rank performance items.
Other items can be acquired on a per order basis in exchange for items not available in the armory.

Hoshiko, somewhat shockingly, was quiet for several moments as the situation was explained. She stared at the jewel intently; the object made her uncomfortable on a deep level for reasons she couldn't quite place - which, of course, only served to bother her even more.

Hoshiko piped down again for a moment as she perused the selections available.

Ciera ignored the weapons in the armory, instead heading straight for the wardrobe that was tucked in at the back of the room. Digging through various sets of armor and clothes, she'd picked out a standard set of long pants and a short sleeved shirt when she spotted a set of armor that seemed to call to her. Something about the bright blue of the armor paired with a black cape seemed to fit. It wasn't especially heavy armor, more suited to someone who was riding a light mount than anything else. But it was right. Carrying a bulky load of clothes in her arms, she set back off for the room they had all abandoned where she quickly changed, returning to the group in a much better looking state.

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"Right then! Time to get some weapons... Oh... Uhm, Mr Friedhelm, do... do you have any mounts here? I just... I feel like, for some reason, like I should be riding when I fight. I don't know why..."

Though even that wasn't quite right. It wasn't a horse she was looking for... No she needed something more free...

The stranger takes a look at a handful of the tomes, squinting at them as he attempts to decipher their text, tabbing through tome after tome. After a few moments, he slips the green-gem-adorned ring back on, soon finding the tomes legible to him after a moment.

Before she even got to the weapons, Catherine found a small supply of books and writing implements. She let out a quiet sigh as she got the things into her hands, some tension seeming to ease up, before opening the book and starting to rapidly jot down notes. She had to write down everything she'd learned so far, so she could compare once her memories returned. She didn't know for certain what she did normally - the earlier assessment of scholar felt right; it lined up well with her thought processes and instincts, so far as she could observe them - but this note taking definitely felt like something she did. She looked up and started looking through the tomes, her hand still writing rapidly as she did.

I can't understand a word you're saying, and I suspect it's mutual." she glanced back at the tomes, noticing the words had become illegible. Her own writing though, was perfectly readable.

(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "I'm... not sure. It's a pretty big armory and I don't think I caught a glimpse at you earlier..." He squints, "Your helmet... That's an interesting effect it has going on. Is it magic?"

Julius had been silent as he still had a bit of cloudyness in his head, but it was nearly fully faded now. Like quite a few of the others, when presented with the armory he made a beeline for the writing implements, feeling the urge to grab a notebook to record all the things he learned. Immediately afterwards, he began picking through the armory's extensive collection. Among all these varieties, he thought he might get overwhelmed, yet holding each in his hand it seemed there were none that he didn't feel some form of familiarity with. Perhaps he was some form of weapons instructor in his old life? If it was to a highborn house then perhaps that might explain the clothes.

Eventually he selected a sword  that seemed of a good balance for his needs, alongside a dark tome. As he gathered his things however he stopped, seeing an odd ring shaped object he didn't recognize sorted among a rank of odd looking knives and ...what seemed to be various contraptions? Out of curiosity he picked it up and swung it a few times, testing out its weight to get a feel. It seemed likely to be meant for throwing? Nothing in this area of the armory seemed that familiar as conventional weapons to him aside from the knives, but they seemed easy enough to figure out. Perhaps the less familiar ones here were new inventions of some sort? He liked how it felt in his hand however, so he gave the chakrams one last spin around his wrist before attaching it to his belt with the other weapons he had selected.

Julius took Steel Cutlass, Nosferatu, and Chakram

That business done, he turned his attention to to the others in the room, and sidled up to the small group that had started to gather around the purple armored man. If this was to be the grand adventure it had been made out to be in his head, it was best to begin building up that comradery now wouldn't it?

(https://i.imgur.com/dwSDP43.png) "A-hem. My apologies for interrupting, but if your helm is acting strangely, have you not tried taking it off? Even if whatever effect tied to it isn't apparent from within, if we are to be allies it might do well for us to know your face." he asked, putting on a friendly smile.

The stranger suddenly drifted off with that last word, looking aside.
(https://i.imgur.com/beCkP6M.png): "...Well, this is somewhat awkward, on account of apparently everyone else remembering theirs. But, would you believe me if I said I couldn't remember my own name?"
Standing back, he glances at Julius, brow furrowed. Whether it was in attempting to remember his own name, at pondering Julius' question, or Julius himself, he didn't say.

Julius noticed the man in the green coat giving him an odd look, and tilted his head questioningly. Had he done something wrong?

(https://i.imgur.com/ZtaTlQ3.png) "Ah- is something the matter? ...aside from what you just said of course." he asked, something in him feeling a tinge of worry.

(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "Oh, right I can do that to find out what is causing this."
When the sniper placed his hands on the side of his helmet and began to tug on it, he noticed there was something holding it in place.

After a lot effort, he heard a loud CLICK of something being unlocked behind it, and finally he pulled it away from his head, only to start inspecting it up and down, looking for any sort of gems or runes that could be causing the green glow.

Branwen will take Steel Greatlance, Iron Heavy Spear, Mend and Concoction.
Branwen looks....generally unfazed by everything that had just happened. As far as she knew, everything that had happened, up to now, was normal.

That.....that definitely wasn't. Branwen even subtly checks her face and cheek to make sure her own head wasn't currently an orb of fire; it wasn't and she was thankful.

Julius opened his mouth to reply to the stranger, but was interrupted by the momentous helmet removal.

Otiros gave the others a puzzled look the moment they began to talk about his head being on fire.
(https://i.imgur.com/hudFScN.png) "What do you mean on 'fire'? I would feel something painful like that."
But as way to prove his point, he moved a hand up and began to press and sway it against his face-Which was making the green cloud spread over and over; that certainly was no fire, instead it was a very dense toxic cloud.
(https://i.imgur.com/DEbzFpU.png) "...Okay, clearly it is not on fire. But WHY does it feel so light? Is your head like this too? Really could use a mirror right now..."

(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "Well, I see a green, vaporous substance emitting quite fiercely from deeper in your armor. As in, a very, very large cloud that looks plenty like fire.

Branwen takes a step back from the cloud, in case breathing him in was dangerous, either to her or to him. Presumably, breathing other people in was a bad thing.

(https://i.imgur.com/zIOf0lf.png) ”Just one moment.”

Julius wordlessly turned around and beginning to search through the nearby items of the armory for a suitable unembellished shield. He pointed his arm to Oriros and raised his index finger in a signal of pause before briskly beginning to polish the metallic object with the sleeve of his coat.

Otiros sighed and tilted his head upwards for a moment.

With that very specific detailed he was receiving from the stranger, his concern was only growing.
(https://i.imgur.com/6gl1N1z.png) "Vaporous substance? I guess that at least explains the clouds then. Not that I was hoping for this kind of answer-And you can see my skull!?"
Both of his hands went up to his face again trying to understand just what shape it truly was-At least until he noticed what Julius was trying to do. He waited for the shield to be polished before grabbing it to check his reflection. Not that it made him any less concerned.

Alex had leafed through the armory's weaponry, claiming lances and maces. His eyes fell on a hammer, and he grabbed it, hefted it... and then he shook his head, with a sigh.

Not that he could tell why.

Alex gets Silver Lance, Glaive, Silver Mace, and Concoction!

(https://i.imgur.com/ryD9PIf.png) "I guess we're fortunate we didn't get anyone weirder than that. Like giant bugs or cat people..." Iris observed dryly. Surely the universe was a strange place...

...

The Artist was longer than most choosing her equipment. She handled the tomes awkwardly, seemingly confused by them. A burgeoning memory surfaced, however...

(https://i.imgur.com/V9wBR97.png) "...It was a brush...a paintbrush...!"

Searching the writing supplies found whats she required. In time she had both brush and a large, sturdy easel with several sheafs of creamy white paper. What followed was interesting. She propped up the tomes against a nearby window (carefully choosing light and setting), and began to paint them with what had to be called magic-an effect like a heatless candleflame could be seen on her brush, with colors rapidly changing as she swapped from hue to hue. She worked incredibly swiftly, hands moving before conscious thought. The easel itself was lit in a cool glow, that waxed from light to dark as she worked on her projects.

Colors sprung to life on the easel as simultaneously the tome seemed more and more leeched, as if energy was being drawn from it-indeed, a narrow ribbon of color could be seen leaving the tome, and entering the easel. When she was finished, Iris had a very lifelike drawing of a tome...and a strange book sitting on a shelf-investigation would reveal the tome was now blank, every word erased, all the colors leached into blacks and whites-the images strangely stretched and distorted. And disturbingly, so too did the shelf and wall she had drawn against seem drained of life. Part of the world had been literally drawn into the power of her creation.

She imbued several tomes into her easel in this fashion, more or less tuning out everything around her as she did the only thing she ever truly enjoyed-making better worlds. She even painted a few potions, tastefully set against a plate of fruit...not that anyone would likely enjoy drinking the potions, or eating the fruit after she was done.

Afterwards, Iris reflected on her work the purest joy.

Vahn had merely watched silently once Iris had set her easel up, focusing on the painting as it slowly turned from colorful strokes upon a blank canvas into tomes and potions. What a curious thing to paint! But more curious was the energy being drawn from the tomes into each painting. Was this woman from a world where painting itself was a form of magic? Interesting indeed.

I am not a true mage, as such. I cannot perform magic of that sort. I am a soul painter-I do not recall the entire meaning of the term, just the term itself.

But I recall, that I can manipulate energy through the act of creation. So I merely took the power from the tomes and...translated them, to a medium I could access. There was a small loss...no energy can be transferred without loss, of course...but I merely took the balance from the area around my subject...

I do suspect a limit of absolute mass is, however, still in effect...I feel I couldn't carry anything more, that couldn't fit in the space around me...maybe this is little more than a parlor trick, but the possibilities...

Bemused, Vahn shuffled about a bit so he was leaning on his staff with his right arm and holding his left hand out. As he posed for the artist, he responded to Branwen.

I'm in constant pain, and I can tell I'm old from the color of my hair, the creaking of my joints, the wrinkles around my eyes.

Iris began working as soon as she could-it only few moments it took her to whip up a picture. It was clear she could compose almost as fast as thought.

She frowned half way through.

(https://i.imgur.com/ryD9PIf.png) "...Well that is interesting. Your...essence...is altering my palette.

I'm trying to rearrange the fruit to be the way it was, but it doesn't want to be exactly the same thing now. Its trying to be something more familiar to you, something connected to the world you came from? Its like dropping a new color of paint into a solution. The hue is very different. I think...I can force it to be something its not, but that will cost me more of my reserves...the art needs to be true to your spirit...and the objects of this world still have a different wave than yours...oh, never mind, I'm babbling...

Oh well. I'd better not touch of your essence anyway...who knows what the ritual did to our spirits..."

It was at this point Vahn would have felt a tingling as small motes of light and dark swirled from the easel, and reconstituted something into his hand-a perfectly healthy, plump fruit.

It would in fact taste delicious and tart-curiously, it would taste exactly like avakodo would taste to the memory of Iris. And to vahn it would taste like a fruit he enjoyed. This fruit was not either of those. And despite it all, it would be...unsatisfying, on some deep level. Artificial. Not as good as the real thing. Somehow you would just know.

Vahn studied the fruit from all angles before reluctantly biting into it (and also being thankful that he still had his teeth, and that they were strong). The skin of the fruit was tough, much like an apple, but the taste of it was... bananas? But also not; more like the aftertaste of bananas than the real thing. How strange. It neither felt nor tasted like what it looked like. He waited a couple of minutes to see if it would burn his throat or cramp his stomach. Neither occurred, and he was hungry enough, so he finished the food. It didn't do to be wasteful.

Perhaps there was something to what the others were saying, about familiar objects bringing memories back. As Gregor took up a lance from one of the many racks scattered about, the wood and metal seemed to warm under his fingers. Making a few experimental sweeps and lunges with the weapon, it became clear that the lance wasn't merely a tool for fighting; to him, it was a part of his own body. It spun in his hands, dancing about before executing a perfect stab into a handy straw dummy.

Muscle memory, Gregor thought to himself. Even if he had no real recollection of any training, clearly he was - or had been - an accomplished spearfighter. He tried a few other weapons, but none of them had the same feel in his hands and the magic items failed to do anything at all. Well, that pretty much confirmed he wasn't a mage of any sort. His sister, though...

Wait, hold on. He had a sister? Yes, he did! A sister, and two brothers. Their names escaped him, but Gregor knew his sister was a mage and his brothers were accomplished knights. He was pretty sure he himself was the youngest of the lot. This would be an interesting story to tell them, if he even remembered it when he got back to his world.

Putting his memories on hold for the moment, Gregor stocked up with several different lances, including one balanced for throwing in case he needed to hit something more than a few feet away. He also took up a small shield - more for deflecting than for blocking - and a few bottles of what looked (and smelled) like medicine.

Gregor takes the following:
Iron Greatlance
Silver Javelin
Pike
Concoction
There was a Shield Ring here but BMM42 hates fun.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) With the group having finalized their preparations and in apparently high spirits, Friedhelm led them back to the Nexus, where he interfaced with some nearby instruments while he explained. "Now ideally, we want to cause as little damage as possible with these missions. As badly as we need the artifacts you'll be retrieving, it is paramount that we avoid exposing anyone to interworld travel. It's possible without the Nexus, and we don't want that knowledge to spread, or the War Breaker may not be the last threat to the Nexus. Moreover, we cannot police each world we come across. They will surely have their own struggles to meet, but it is up to them to meet it, not us. The target for this first world appears to be in a cave guarded by the undead. As far as I can tell, they were conjured by a sorceress specializing in necromancy to serve as her army... but she's either dead or captured, and I expect you'll be able to defeat them without too much trouble." There was a grinding of stone upon stone, and the green pool in the Nexus turned into a view of a sunny day, of a rocky path next to a mountain. "The Nexus is not terribly precise in terms of spacial positioning between worlds. This is as close as I can get you. The crystal that Ciera is holding should let me lock onto your position once you have obtained the artifact, so I can open the portal very close to you once you have it. I will need to close this one behind you however, for safety's sake."

Honestly the Dullahan was thankful that Friedhelm finally said something, which hopefully was going to push away that negative topic for now. The mention of undead did brighten his mood a tad, as it at least meant they weren't going to be truly harming unfortunate soldiers guarding a treasure.

The act of stepping through the gate was slightly unsettling. There was a brief moment of what could only be described as bodily confusion, like being disoriented or drunk for a split second as Vahn crossed from one world to the next. Not long enough to cause nausea, or real discomfort, but there nonetheless. But on the other side seemed a very normal place. Green grass, grey stone, blue sky and warm sun. A gentle breeze blew across Vahn's face, in contrast to the still air in the Nexus temple. To his left, a hole in a mountain was open, though it seemed innocuous enough at a glance.

For Vahn, the world spun and twisted, the walls of the armory of the Nexus spiraling away like the universe was unwinding. There was an instance - no more than a moment - of deep, gut-wrenching nausea... and then reality spun the other way as his foot touched the ground, and he was standing in a valley near a mountain. Far off, he could hear bird song; nearby was the entrance to the cave they were very likely meant to delve.

There was no reason for him to argue about what was right or wrong at the moment, especially when there were things to be done. So instead he focused on the task on hand, pointing a gloved finger towards the portal before marching forward.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "There is no time to be wasted, let us move!"
Moving through the portal was quite the odd and unpleasant sensation, but thankfully it wasn't something that lasted too long. When he spotted Vahn, he raised a hand for a brief moment.

Luckily it remained securely on its chain and the young man was able to restore it to its proper place. While initially embarrassed, Gregor was caught up in the knowledge that he had just stepped into a new world. Or maybe it wasn't new?

With no other obvious way forward, the group makes their way into the open cave mouth, hoping that it will lead them to their goal. At first, there are no signs of any sort of occupation of the cave. No signs of movement, or any sort of excavation, or any lights within the cave. Only magical motes conjured by the party's magically inclined are able to light their way.

Deep within the cavern however, light feeds in from ahead, and as the group approaches it, they happen upon a sea of skeletons and zombies. A great clamor of creaking bone sounds as the skeletons turn to the intruders, red lights filling their otherwise hollow eye sockets shining in the dim firelight.

There sure are a lot of them.

Ciera had disappeared while everyone else was busy talking, searching for the mounts that had been promised. When she'd arrived, she'd found a small assortment of mounts, but found herself drawn to a pale grey pegasus that stood out from the other pure white ones. He'd been approachable, tame, and quite willing to let her take him by the reins and away from the others. By the time she'd arrived back with the rest of the group, they'd already started moving on. And they quickly ran into a fight. While the others hesitated for a moment, she joined in with Vahn rushing forward with a thrown spear.

Hoshiko's arrows unbalance the massive skeleton, which Otiros follows up with a crossbow bolt. The projectile smashes through the creature's vertebrae, and its head tumbles to the ground where the lights in its eye sockets fade away...

(https://i.imgur.com/YU62jsP.png): "Well, they're not human targets, at least."
With a click, a large case at his belt opens, and he draws the flute he had retrieved from the armory. He stares at it for a few moments as the battle begins around him.

He quickly dashes towards the two that had engaged the undead to their west, pulling the flute to his mouth.

The battle, the weight of the javelin, the flapping of the pegasus wings, it all felt right somehow. Familiar. Even the music, oddly enough, felt in place. It caused a slight hesitation, a glance down at the man with the flute, the man whose name she still didn't know, but then she was off again. Distraction in battle was a death sentence.

Although he didn't remember this would be the case, for the first time in forty years Vahn took a knee. Perhaps if he had remembered who he was, what his legend was, he would have forced himself to stay standing. But then, perhaps he would have remembered as well what he once told a young redheaded mercenary: that people like the two of them were protected by a higher power, because there was a use for them. Perhaps he would have realized that his use might have ran out.

In any case, the artist did not waste her sudden inspiration-her spellwinds had waned, and now returned with hurricane force, as she added another scene to her easel...this was going to be a very good piece...

Iris noticed belatedly the skeleton archer she had damaged was still alive, having fended off all her allies pesky attacks and even landed an arrow in Julius's fashionable overcoat. It was then she noticed the skeleton was wearing tattered noble regalia of a sort-even wearing a dented crown!

Judging by his undead reflexes, it was clear in life he had been a peerless warrior-having gathered his accoutrements so, holding onto some dim vestige of memory...something about that tickled the back of Iris's mind, but she had no time to ponder why..

Ensconced in as much metal as he was, and significantly taller than pretty much all of the zombies attacking him, Alexander found himself almost entirely unconcerned with the undead mass clawing at him. If not for the relatively knightly demeanor that he seemed to have, his movements would have been outright casual. Instead, as is, they were calm and unconcerned -- Alex cleanly put away his lance and drew his mace (to balance their usage), stopping only to catch an incoming arm.

This was reliant of course, on Gregor getting timely assistance from the Valkyrie-he was badly wounded and wouldn't last long against the horde. And there was only one narrow spot behind him. Certainly no room for the artist and one of those pesky flying horses together.

So patience was the key...

Vahn struck the dead soldier a mighty blow, knocking its helmet off as well as its jawbone. The undead responded by impaling him through the stomach - but the old man's body responded on its own, completely ignoring the pain and bringing the mace back around in a furious downward strike that shattered the skull completely and dropped the warrior. With a grunt, he leaned the staff against his shoulder and grabbed the spear, then pulled it out and threw it aside.

He wiped the blood away with the back of his hand and renewed his stance, whirling his mace around idly at his side to keep the momentum going.

Not that these creatures were likely to understand his words, but presenting a strong front helped keep morale up for allies as well as demoralizing foes. He remembered that much.

Hoshiko landed on her feet with a woozy stumble that she managed to mostly conceal as a drop into a fighting stance. It didn't take her long to re-orient herself once she was standing under her own power once again, but long enough that there was a notable pause between the knight's question and her answer.

Impatient to get into action, Iris pushed her way to the front, taking cover behind a rock formation. She supposed she was due an arrow soon...

And yet her eye was drawn to the water. Beholding the darkness of the cave pool before her, she could see the barest hint of the remains that surely must lie beneath, the leavings of countless warriors who had fallen here in this narrow chokepoint and were swept aside. The surface of the water-polluted with an unhealthy green sheen-contrasted utter stillness, broken by even the lightest footfall. It seemed almost to shivering.

She supposed this might have become a breeding ground of a sort for the one eyed terrors that had previously occupied it...what horrors would lie underneath, that she might bring them to an easel...

Branwen winces as the adrenaline somewhat wears off and she realises just how wounded she currently is. She holds up a hand and flies up across the pond. That feeling of getting so lost in herself, so hyperfocused, was....familiar. Not that she coulld say from where, but this wasn't the first time. The scar on her cheek prickled, but if it was a clue to her memories, it was a clue Branwen didn't possess the necessary context to decipher.

This lance felt wrong in her hands, for some reason; it didn't have the right heft or weight for her. Something like Alexander's mace but.....lighter.

Iris had just begun when a wild pegasus woman rode into her setting, shedding feathers and looking strained. On a whim, she decided to add Branwen into the scene. She would try to capture the womans essence in this single moment in time...

Her impression of Branwen up til now had mostly been restlessness, a sort of spring loaded energy that needed only a direction and purpose. A powerful inner momentum that frankly the artist was a bit jealous of...she herself was prone to ease...moving slowly and thoughtfully, looking for the perfect moment...while people like Branwen dealt in the bitter press of life, acting in a moment when a moment was all the time that remained...the pegasus riders life-fire burned all the more fiercely for its passing nature, comet-like, a beauty that was painful to look upon without being seared...since by the time you looked, she would usually already be gone...

Iris mulled how to introduce that energy, that unique vibrancy, into her painting.

~Enemy Phase 12~

Otiros' movements seem to slow as another arrow buries itself in his chestplate, but he responds with another bolt to silence the skeleton shooting at him. Capitalizing on the distraction, the two nearest skeletons rush him as he reloads. Otiros hooks his forearm around the neck of one, and the undead clatters to the ground, where Otiros uses his crossbow to shatter it's skull at point blank. The last one, having missed his initial strike, comes around for another. Otiros sweeps the skeleton's frail legs out from beneath it, and stomps on its empty rotten skull to seal victory.

 ♥ ♥ ♥ Also, I made a pretty picture of Branwen. ♥ ♥ ♥"

She gave a critical eye to his state of injury.

"...Hmm, sorry I don't have any medicine on me. I used it all on Hoshiko and Mr. Hexham. They're both quite brash individuals. Very prone to injury. I would have expected better of you, Mr. Orto. Me and you, we're artists. We can't afford to look...scruffy. Be always sure to mind your opposition." She gently chided.

You clearly have an appreciation of color and fashion in your style of dress, a touch of cultured conversational substance, an appreciation of music, and improvisational timing. You don't lack for a certain grace-which I define as seeming agile, even when you fall. In you, I see a fellow performer. Someone who enjoys his role...at home on the stage. Some part of who you were, I feel...was trained in a way to appeal to an audience. Am I wrong?

Whoever I was... these powers have been ones of destruction rather than creation. I can wield any weapon, my mind seems to just adapt immediately to whatever I hold in my hand, and these dark magics that I'm able to use... My heart tells me that I must have been a hero, so I don't worry about that, but..."

His gaze drifted downwards at his own chest.

"And then there's...  -nevermind. I suppose in the end we shall just have to see when our memories return."

He looked back and in an attempt to change the subject put on a quizzical look on his face.

"So it's done something like this then?"

"¤v¤o§...?" he gargled out, scrunching up his face.

...I mean, there are some works you can't perform...on demand. They come from you when you're not actually trying too hard. It's difficult to explain...sort of how, when I've seen you move your blade to guard position so quickly after performing a Passata Sotto. It's something you do so naturally, you perform it without effort-in that motion there is animation, strength, passion. Like me putting a brush across canvas-an artist sees the beauty in every setting. The same way a warrior sees weakness and strength in his opponent. I suppose something in my life me something of both..." Iris didn't know if Julius knew the terms she was using, and so substituted her brush as a sword-making an extended stabbing motion, as with a rapier, with a spread leg crouch-her whole body extended like a spear. It was an evasive trick for duelists that would would be necessarily leave one quite vulnerable after it was done, requiring one to reform their defense quickly.

Apart from the armor (which, while appearing metal at a distance, appeared to be some manner of magically reinforced bone up close) and weapons that the creature had carried, there was nothing upon the Bone Lord. The throne that sat behind him, however, was flanked by stacks of books.

Vahn's choice to explore the bone pit yielded little. The pit was filled with human skeletons in various states of assembly, none of them moving. Whatever force had been causing the pit to disgorge skeletons, it was gone now.
Title: Re: Legacy FEF IC Thread
Post by: Twinwolf on February 29, 2020, 11:44:08 am
Catherine, after noticing the various books, made a beeline for them. Hopefully the magic ring would also apply to reading - while she didn't have all the details yet, she was starting to recall enough to know that this world was not hers. If she could read the books, she'd peruse the titles and maybe flip open some and take a glance through, seeing if anything was relevant.
Title: Re: Legacy FEF IC Thread
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on February 29, 2020, 11:47:45 am
The books appeared to be a collection on magical theory and necromancy, broadly. While certainly of scholarly interest, none of them appeared, at a glance and skim, to be particularly special.

At least, until Catherine took hold of the largest book in the stack. Her trained senses could feel the pulse of magical energy that coursed through the pages, trapped by the binding.

The green-clad stranger moves with purpose through the area, studying the fallen skeletons for any sign that they would reanimate again. As he moves, he gradually approaches the wounded Pegasus Knight, drawing the smaller, blue flute of his pair.
(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "That looks pretty bad. Hang on, let's get you standing."
He presses the flute to his lips, drawing out the healing melody he had used, and bringing the Pegasus Knight and her mount back to health.

The thick leather cover was somewhat worn at the corners, and unadorned. Not even the spine was labelled. But simply by holding it, Catherine could sense the power within. Massive, active, and necromantic in nature. Whatever the nature of this magic was, it dealt in perverting death. The particulars would be impossible to tell so long as the book remained shut.
Title: Re: Legacy FEF IC Thread
Post by: Dwarmin on February 29, 2020, 04:47:48 pm
Iris felt the power of necromancy as a dry, sterile smell. It annoyed her. Memories were coming back now...and not good ones.

Instead, she thought to herself that there was little art to be found here, little...inspiration. She felt less she had been in a battle and more that she had been doing some tedious and dull task. Instead of the rush of victory, Iris just felt tired. She reflected that she had not covered herself well in battle, she thought, and surely the others would judge her harshly...if they regarded her at all. Drained and despondent, she became colder and less friendly.

She kicked one of the skulls aside irreverently with a dainty boot and it collapsed into powder as it struck the cavern wall.

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "...What waste of effort. All this to cheat death, only to end up as some shambling construction of animated bones dancing about like a gruesome puppet. Pathetic...worthless...meaningless...wasn't there a better way? A straighter path? There is no color here...

...I don't suppose any of these books are the grimoire we came to find?" Iris recalled Ciera held a tracking crystal. "This place stinks. I'd rather not stay around."

And with that Vahn walked past everyone and dropped into the bone-pit.

Iris found herself wandering in Vahns direction, looking for any trouble that might still linger.

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "...That doesn't seem very safe. Are you at home among the bones, old man?" She called out sourly, from the safety of the lip of the pit. "Perhaps you wish to clear yourself a resting spot?"

Ciera groaned slightly as she regained consciousness, followed quickly by a blush as she remembered what had happened and realized who had found her. The mysterious bard...

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"I thought I was getting better with the sword... Oh well, it's not like it's the most dangerous thing I've done before. ... I think. I think I was military, back before I was summoned here... So it would stand to reason that I've done more dangerous. I'll blame it on using a sword instead of my lance. It feels much more comfortable using a spear than this sword."

She stood up and stretched slightly, busying herself with checking over the equipment on her pegasus, before pulling out the crystal she had been given to help in their quest, taking a few sneaky glances at the man who had helped her along the way. He'd said she had a lovely face. Her hand itched, wanting to brush the stray hair out of his face. Her cheeks flushed at that though, unsure where it had come from. She needed to pull herself together.

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"Thank you for your help, sir. Your magic is quite interesting, I must say. I want to ask you more about it, though I probably should go help with the search for the item that brought us here. I did take the crystal after all..."

Julius looked around him and smiled at their success upon seeing the bones crumble to dust.

...and then promptly had to stop himself from doubling over as he felt the ache in his chest intensify again. Was this some sort of affliction that he suffered? A curse or ailment? Perhaps he would have to ask the Guardian if he had any idea.

Once the pain faded he walked back to the others.

(https://i.imgur.com/zIOf0lf.png) "I can not say that I find this environment we're in unfamiliar to myself, but what little I can remember is telling me that it isn't because of these abominations at the least. Curious..."

(https://i.imgur.com/1H8OzZL.png) "But from what I do remember... I recall a deep sadness of hardship... and... and an ardent desire. A wish to be a paragon of the people, a true hero!"

He chuckled loudly at that statement and gave a sly grin.

The way you and your pegasus moved in the air seemed... elegant, for lack of a better word."

Hoshiko brushed herself off, poking at what remained of her wounds gingerly. Was she that rusty? She couldn't let herself slide like this, she had to stay sharp even with the king's forces defeated.
(https://i.imgur.com/ZL7mt8W.png)"Aha! The king! I remember now!" The archer realized after a moment that she was, in fact, among others, and cleared her throat. "Ahem, I mean, yes, this hero of justice will answer whatever query you have for her."

After another moment, Vahn took her hand. He was too old and beaten to stand on his pride.

Iris helped him up and used her hands to lightly dust the bone dust off his cloak, in the idle manner of women used to tidying after men.

Catherine didn't hear anything intelligible from the man, but did take a note of what it sounded like to her; perhaps if she found a relation between languages it would imply different locations from the same world.

Ciera slipped off her ring as Alec talked about not understanding Catherine, while also finally unearthing the crystal that she'd taken command of.

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"Ah, here we go, found it. Though, does it really matter how the rings work? I mean, we can understand each other, that's what really matters. Who cares if some of us can understand us without the rings?"

She didn't understand the fuss really. They had a job to do, an enemy to defeat! She walked over to Catherine, and presented the crystal with a gesture towards the books. She assumed the woman wouldn't be able to understand her words, but they could do this silly experiment at the same time that they were also looking for what they came here for.

Catherine found herself unable to understand Ciera once her ring was off, but what was unmistakable was the deep red glow that came from the crystal as Ciera moved it toward the book. The closer to the book the crystal went, the brighter it glowed.

Ciera stopped in her path and turned to face the mysterious bard, hand with the crystal in it dropping back down to her side.

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"H-huh... I can understand you, yes. But I can't understand anything Catherine is saying. Though we do seem to have found the artifact..."

Why could she understand him and not Catherine? Were they connected somehow? No, that was just her being silly with wishful thinking. There was probably just something weird going on, something she wouldn't be able to understand anyways. Still, she took a few steps back towards Alec, and waited to see if he had anything more to say.

The stranger nods as Ciera explains her own perception.

He slips his own ring back on. Catherine would want to hear this.

He retrieves the book he had requested from the Guardian, cracking it open to the first couple pages he had jotted down.
(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "A lot of things. I remember filling out several books this size, cover-to-cover." He tabs through the empty pages, for emphasis. "I... hope that won't complicate our teamwork here. I have every intention on seeing people safe."

Alex had mostly been silent through the ring experiment, though he did slip off his ring -- he had been contemplating the way that his memory seemed only to return to him still in slips and snatches, frustratingly vague. He remembered more about his family, and he knew he had several children, but he couldn't even remember who they were, who his wife was, or even how many children he had. Only flashes, vague, maddeningly brief. Affection... actually, overwhelming affection. Being very busy. Red. He remembered that he had been a knight, and that he had fought in many difficult combats... but he remembered these only as if slipping in and out of consciousness as well. Snow. Blood. Standing resolute. Magic.

It was tantalizing and it was frustrating. These tiny little incomplete snippets of things that had clearly been very, very dear to him... they left him wanting more, wondering what this summoning had taken from him, left him feeling inadequate and existentially frustrated from his inability to reach back and figure out what the hell was in these gaps. Without them... well, these things, he suspected, had defined him. He was left feeling somewhat empty.

Still, he did manage to pay enough attention to speak up.
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"I apologize for not speaking up earlier, but Gregor, we may be from the same place. I understood you very clearly, and in much the same way, what Alec here and Ciera were saying were... halfway-intelligible, I suppose."

He looked down, now, and frowned.
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"As for what I remember... I remembered during this battle that I have a wife and children, and that I was a knight. But I... don't remember my wife, or what she's like. And I don't remember my children, or even how many I have. I don't know what it is that I fought to protect, either. This..." he fell silent for a moment. "is a deeply frustrating experience." He had been intensely loyal... but to what? To who?

As Ciera touched the crystal against the leather of the tome, the crystal reached the brightest glow yet, before suddenly going dark. Then flashing on and off several times, before suddenly a portal opened in the air, a few feet away from Ciera. On the other side was the Nexus, and Friedhelm.

The old man took the nearest seat he could find, on the edge of a table, and reached for a pouch on his waist that wasn't there with fingers too stiff and gnarled to roll the herbs he didn't have.

The old man took the nearest seat he could find, on the edge of a table, and reached for a pouch on his waist that wasn't there with fingers too stiff and gnarled to roll the herbs he didn't have. He looked at his hand for a moment, noting the subtle tremble - but it wasn't the shaking of withdrawal, not anymore; only age that robbed the steadiness from them.

Iris didn't like seeing the old man (Whom in her my mind she had been thinking as a friend) tremble. Oddly, it made her...angry. That a good man should suffer the indignity of age! A better man, since he didn't call himself a good man. Well, it was only natural, right? That things should fade away? Rot and decay were essential to existence as life and growth...some of her memories had resurfaced and she found herself disagreeing...however illogical...however strange...she remembered a time when she had tried to make something better of the world...

As the portal opens and the Guardian speaks through it, Alec's attention is pulled over to it.
(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "Well, there's our cue."
The bard glances around at the rest of the cave, as if studying his surroundings one more time, before stepping up to the portal- pointedly waiting until everyone else was through it before entering himself.

Eventually, everyone had returned through the portal. Once that was done, Friedhelm moved to a nearby panel, running his hands across a stone instrument that shone with light as his fingers moved across the surface. The image of the cavern was replaced with an empty green glow, as it had been before they'd left.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) Friedhelm spotted the golden laurel that Julius had set upon his belt, and addressed him. "...Julius I understand, better than you yourself do, that we must take things from where I send you in order to save the Nexus. But I beg of you to leave what you can in its rightful place. We are doing enough damage with what is necessary."

Julius pulled the crown off his belt and gazed wistfully at it, before tossing it back behind him with a sigh.

But the more we alter and take, the greater the chance of large scale alteration. Large scale damage."

"We never made it a goal to police every realm. It would be impossible, of course. But before we resigned ourselves to only observation, the plundering of other worlds ended in the deaths of civilizations. Perhaps it would have been us if not them.

Alec, looming nearby, stared at Vahn for a few moments, face quite flat as he seemed to assess the man. It was only a bit longer into the silence that he turns to Friedhelm.
(https://i.imgur.com/TCHJbaD.png): "Mister..." The bard hung on the word for a moment, "...Guardian. You know, I feel like I'd be calling you something different by now, but I'm a bit out of sorts."

(https://i.imgur.com/YU62jsP.png): "A grimoire, what presumably was in the possession of someone quite clearly dabbling in necromancy." He pauses, the understatement quite palpable, "Just what would something like that have to do with this 'method to bestow power' you were alluding to..?"
His gaze is quite sternly locked on Friedhelm, his expression turning severe, like the first embers of an inquisitor interrogating a suspect.

However, I have a device, just over this way, if you'd like to follow me..." Friedhelm walked away, beckoning behind him as we walked toward the western exit of the room. Across the hall was a small room, with a stone bench on one end.

The bench was made of simple shapes, and a light cream color with a smooth texture. The top was engraved with symbols, but nothing that Alec (or anyone else) recognized. Friedhelm gestured to the shape on the right.

With the battle over and everyone back in the world which held this demure guardian's base, Alex sighed, let his posture hang a little bit (he winced -- he could feel an ache in his back starting to build up) and clapped his hands (CLANG).
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"I suppose that that puts an end to that chapter of things, then. I will want to get a little rest, I suppose. I am not as young as I was when I did this regularly, I suspect, hah hah... but I promise that it won't get in my way. I won't let myself let anyone down."

He paused for a while, and then his gaze settled on Hoshiko. After looking at her somewhat uncomfortably for a couple of moments, he cleared his throat, straightened his posture out (with half of another wince) and then moved her way.

Catherine, for her part, went to the armory again to stock up, getting new copies of all gear, and then sitting down and taking some time to write things in her notebook - both stuff she'd seen in the other world and new stuff that she remembered about her life.

Ciera found herself idly fidgeting with the slim gold band she had on her finger, staring at the man she now knew was called Alec, before quickly turning around, a faint blush on her cheeks. She instead marched over to Catherine, and smiled at the other girl.

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"Hello again! You said your name was Catherine, right? How are you doing? Do you remember anything interesting about your life?

Iris, meanwhile, had taken Vahns suggestion seriously-after reloading herself on tomes and medicine, she had found herself traveling in the direction of the the temple of Centralis mighty kitchen. Or at least where she assumed it would be.

It had occurred to her that despite kidnapping them from their home dimensions, Friedhelm actually hadn't fed them anything like a decent meal. It was all fate of the multiverse this, tyrannical dimension tyrant hopping that! Not so much as a complimentary plate of biscuits!

And Iris felt oddly, ravenously hungry. It was something close to a feeling starvation, though she seemed physically fine...

Alexander fell silent for a moment at the girl's outburst, considering how best to approach it. (He got the feeling that he'd done this on many occasions before.) It didn't seem like her primary issue was truly what he was saying. So, hesitating as he figured out the best way to word things, Alexander spoke, raising his hands in a supplicating gesture.

He thought for a few quiet moments, forcing a few memories up from the abyss in much the same way a man might dislodge a bit of recalcitrant corn from a molar.

The kitchen that Iris and Vahn had found was unlike anything that either had seen before. The Nexus's predilection toward smooth white stone was also in play here. Large work surfaces stood as islands in the room. Set into each was drawers and cabinets, each holding a variety of tools. Some were familiar, and others were not, but bowls, plates, and spoons were all in evidence. The wall to the right of the door was lined with what seemed to be a collection of counters topped with magical sigils. Though they didn't seem to have any sort of direct translation, based on the unrecognizable nature the rings took to them, there was an unmistakable sensation that they could be used to heat whatever sort of cooking vessel one wished to pull down from those hanging overhead.

Doors were spaced along the opposite wall as well, and within each was a shimmering blue screen, with vegetables, fruits, and large cuts of raw meat sitting just behind the entryway. Small bottles of this and that were also in abundance, and inspection of the labels revealed them to be a staggering variety of spices and dried herbs. Though these too were kept behind the shimmering blue screens.

Vahn took some likely looking herbs, smelling them carefully and inspecting the leaves. He didn't expect the guardian would keep anything that wasn't comestible in the kitchen, but it paid to know what he was working with. He found a few plants that smelled of ginger and garlic and took those, along with some of the thick red meat and what appeared (and tasted, when carefully applied to the tongue) of salt and pepper. The spices he ground and mixed into a bowl, then set it aside to cut the meat into large chunks. That done, he dusted the meat with the mixture, then put it all in a bowl and set it aside to marinate.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/enl27tngihyf6ag/Neutral.png?raw=1) (https://pastebin.com/G3NvaB1f) "And I'll get to work on the bhajia while that gets ready."

He fetched the potatoes from the larder - good to see a familiar and humbling thing as a potato - and peeled them, then chopped them into fine slices and set them aside. Next was getting chilies, flour, turmeric, more of the salt and pepper, an onion, and some water. The onion he chopped into small cubes; the flour and spices were mixed into a bowl with some water and stirred into a smooth batter, which the potato slices were then dipped in before being liberally sprinkled with onion. Then he dumped the results in a pot of hot vegetable oil to briefly fry.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/enl27tngihyf6ag/Neutral.png?raw=1) (https://pastebin.com/G3NvaB1f) "Now back to the mshikaki."

He quickly skewered the meat, four chunks per skewer, with eight skewers used. These he set on a grilling grid on high heat, and while they cooked he retrieved the now-golden brown bhajia from the oil and set it aside on a plate. Then he flipped the skewers and waited another five minutes. All in all, the cooking had only taken him about twenty minutes to get all the ingredients and prepare the food.

Iris, noting Vahn was making the main course, decided to make the refreshments.

The trick to making Siegbrau syrup was old and mysterious. No one knew it in her hometown, but people who had been taught it by their parents. Just as she had been taught in her parents bakery, on her fathers knee, her mother kneading bread in the corner-so she now employed the secret technique to making the perfect drink with which to toast the Sun.

But no one else would know it.

Not even you.

...

And a few minutes later, she pulled out the thick syrup into a jug and she began adding the rest of her ingredients-boiling water, white tea, orange juice, more cinnamon, and a generous jot of some dark whiskey she had never tasted before, but liked quite a lot.

(https://i.imgur.com/V9wBR97.png) "Voila-Siegbrau. The drink of victory! It is traditionally taken at gloaming after a day of hard battle, with the words...

Or if you were to record your observations, that could be enough for a clever person. With the use of a great enough power source, this is not the only place it could be used." Friedhelm gestured vaguely at the halls around them. "When I told you that the spell selected you, rather than myself, it was the truth. If I could have made the choice myself, well..." The sentence trailed off into nothing for a few moments, before Friedhelm seemed to force himself to finish the thought. "It's clear enough that you're all capable. But I have don't know who you are, either. If you can all be trusted. The spell does not, and cannot, bind your wills to my own, though it endeavors to find those who will see things the way I do.

She lifted her mug in invocation.

It wasn't a toast Vahn had ever heard before, but he responded with one of his own, "ishi vizuri". The ring translated it immediately as 'live well' but he knew what he said. He lifted it and took a long drink, wondering how long it had been since he'd had alcohol.

He pushed the plate of bhajia and mshikaki across the island counter so Iris could easily reach them as well and took a skewer. It wasn't as good as if he had had a night to really let the spiced juices soak into the meat before cooking it, but it was good enough for the first home-cooked meal he'd had since... forever. As far as he could remember if he wasn't eating whatever he could throw together it was whatever a tavern had on offer.

Iris actually stopped speaking for a moment and began chowing down. She rampaged through her meal quite swiftly, though very ladylike-perhaps it was heretical to Vahns countrymen and their culinary habits, but Iris ate the skewered food with a fork and knife.

*Munch munch munch*

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "...Are you going to eat all of that?" She said, fork posed menacingly towards Vahns own plate.

(https://i.imgur.com/ryD9PIf.png) "...Sorry for my manners...It feels like it's been so long since I've eaten, and...that's a strange truth to it..." She mused, not sure if Vahn wanted to hear her story or not. It certainly wasn't a very cheerful one.

I would have had a devil of a time trying to get you all to put them on without being able to speak to you. Not that there would be much of a point to checking to see what languages you all spoke. I've always relied on the All-Tongues rings for my own studies so I've never picked up other languages, and there isn't a benefit to you all not being able to understand one another.

Friedhelm stared at Alec as if he had grown a second head. "I. What? No. What? No. There's no way- no." The guardian stopped and took a deep breath, and pressed his hands flatly against each other.

Friedhelm sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I forgot that not everyone I speak with has the same background that I do now. Look, the spell does not scout worlds, it selects those best able to fit the purpose of the caster from everywhere it can reach. You're familiar with sand, yes? It would be like throwing a knife at a pile of sand and hitting one grain in particular. And then doing it again.

Friedhelm scratched at the back of his head. "There is... Just no way. You're putting me on." Friedhelm's face contorted and he pressed a fist to his lips, thinking hard. "Right. I am going to give you a phrase to speak back to me. And I am going to remove my own ring, to hear it as you will hear it from me. That should clear up any lingering doubts."

"I would like you both, at my signal, to repeat the phrase: The final days of the Dragon King were soaked in blood." Friedhelm took off his ring, holding it up for the two men to see, and then held out his hand expectantly.

Friedhelm rounded on Julius, one finger outstretched. "No! No. You do not understand the significance of the absolute level of statistical anomaly we are seeing here. You don't get it. Hundreds, thousands of languages are lost to a single world at the date of development from which yours come. And your world is a droplet of water in an ocean the size of which you wouldn't be able to fathom, let alone traverse. I could roll three dice, with the same result, every waking moment for the rest of my life, aside from the danger of being put to death by the fucking War Breaker, and it still would be likelier than this!"

The summoned heroes had a chance to eat and rest, as well as repair their equipment. The rooms they had been shown to by Friedhelm were simple, and empty of any personal touches that would betray a previous occupant. A simple wall control had allowed them each to turn down the lights so that they could sleep. As conversation and preparation gave way to sleep, the building became deathly quiet. No sound came from beyond the barrier. The sleep did little to aid the group's collective memory problem.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) Later, when everyone had woken once more, Friedhelm had gathered them all in the portal room again. He spoke to them with his back turned, manipulating the control table for the portal. "I hope you're all rested and ready to make another retrieval. We may be able to do a few today, in fact. There won't be any monsters to fight through, this time." There was a grinding of stone upon stone as Friedhelm worked. The green pool of the portal wavered and changed, but did not resolve into any landscape just yet.

Vahn had slept well enough. Talking with Iris had settled him a lot; knowing there was someone in this group with experiences similar to his own, who understood him... it was reassuring. He had still taken several minutes after waking to force his old bones to move; his body ached with the weight of aged wounds and injuries that had never properly been tended to. He had, again, found himself looking for things he didn't possess; herbs to dull the pain, a belled rosary - he couldn't remember why it was so important to him, but he knew if he had it, it would be a mental comfort.

Iris, standing by Vahn, did not remark or show much reaction. Indeed, the whole scene was rather too much like Iris's memories of her own home. Though apparently these cowards had chosen self destruction, ending their world before its natural time and appointed place...with their great powers, they could have done better, she reasoned desperately. It was a deep feeling that her own world had reached the limits of what it could be, and so had to fade, or change into something else-she wasn't sure exactly. But, this world as it was might have had so much more time...it was a vast waste that seemed so terrible to the Artist...

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "Yes, thank you." Friedhelm took the crystal from Ciera's hands, and placed it on the stone instruments he'd used to manipulate the gate. After some more adjustments, the crystal began to exhibit the same red glow as before, before the glow faded entirely. He handed it back to Ciera. "There, the crystal will now respond to the artifact."

Hoshiko stared out the portal for a moment, uncharacteristically quiet. It reminded her of something, or maybe multiple somethings. It may have been a fate she fought to avoid, though anyone would try to avert such an outcome. She glanced around at the others, who seemed more sad or angry than unsettled. She was brought to a modicum of normalcy by witnessing Vahn begin to move through the portal. Not one to ever be accused of reluctance in the face of danger, Hoshiko moved through the portal herself.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on March 17, 2020, 07:34:10 pm
(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) Eventually, the group was on the far side of the portal. "Now, I do know that the artifact is in the keep." Friedhelm pointed past the heroes. "As long as you're able to find it quickly, we can retrieve another today. I'll see you all again when you have the artifact." Friedhelm stepped out of the view of the portal, and a moment later, the portal closed, leaving the group alone in the dusty wasteland.

A gust of wind blew through, carrying a mass of dirt and dust past the group. In front of them stood the tower that Friedhelm had indicated, less than an hour's march away.

Hoshiko pulled her scarf tighter around herself, the ends of the blue garment fluttering. Not that she was cold (growing up in a place like Yukihana tended to adjust your perceptions of such) but the place unnerved her.

Iris wondered if the others felt the vast loneliness she did. Perhaps Hoshiko did? To those with a strong spirit, emptiness demanded to be filled-with words, art, or battle, it mattered not. Something had to fill in the dry space in between...or you would go mad...

(https://i.imgur.com/ryD9PIf.png) "...It is best not to dwell too much on this place. After all, you might begin to like it. I do remember reading something about that once...it went along the lines of, 'When you see beauty in desolation, it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you.'

So, I shall make a portrait of this place as it should have been...it feels right..."

...

As they walked, Iris summoned and worked on a floating easel. Her painting was not of the world that was, but the one she imagined. Fields of red flowers, blue sky, gold sun, white puffy clouds, straight and clean stone street, and a small village bustling around a clean, inviting tower. Oddly enough the portrait began to move on its own, after a time...people moved about the village, as if a living world...

Vahn looked around the wasteland, listening to the others lament. The only thing he really missed was the sound of animals; he was used to quiet places untouched by human hands. After a few moments he started stumping forward, using his staff as a walking stick.

Soon enough, the group found themselves at the base of the tower. It was an old thing, stained by what must have been many years of neglect. But no ivy or moss crept the walls. The only sign of age was dirt and erosion. The great metal doors were closed, but not locked or barred.
Title: Re: Legacy FEF IC Thread
Post by: Praefectus Screptum on March 18, 2020, 10:15:13 am
Otiros took note on the lack of vines or moss covering the walls, that and how the doors weren't locked even if they were closed. While it was a tad peculiar, there was no reason to stand still and wait for someone to open the door when he could do such thing.
(https://i.imgur.com/0rvYAY9.png) "Ready your weapons and stay alert."
The armored being placed his hands on the doors and began to push them forward in an attempt to open them.
Title: Re: Legacy FEF IC Thread
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on March 18, 2020, 02:09:38 pm
The doors opened well, with only a minimum of grinding. The dim half-light of the day spilled into the foyer inside, made of dark stone. Stairwells leading up laid at the ends of the far wall. Dust laid in piles on the floor, impossible to identify.

The wind outside began to rise. Gradually, at first, but swifter and sharper by the moment. As the group made their way inside to escape the sudden gale, the doors swung shut behind them. Light faded through from filthy windows, leaving the hall in near-darkness, and the winds sweeping against the stone created an unsettling screech. Before the group, a voice reached out from the darkness. "Who are you? Why have you come here?"
Title: Re: Legacy FEF IC Thread

Otiros raised his crossbow the moment he heard that voice and pointed towards the direction it came from. So much for not encountering other creatures alive, it seems the guardian was wrong-or lying to them.

Vahn reached into what little reserves of magic he had left and produced a black flame in his left hand - something his body still had the memory to do, even if it was barely strong enough to produce a dark light.

(https://i.imgur.com/JKhk1Mi.png) The light illuminated a man in simple robes, not obviously armed. He didn't so much as flinch at the conjurations, or Otiros's crossbow. "I am the protector of this keep. And you are plunderers. You will not be suffered to live." A flash of light sprang forth, and the man was gone, whisked away to the top of the tower. As the group's sight recovered in the wake of the flash, the dark began to recede as sigils on the floor flared to life, glowing with magical energy.

At the top of the tower, upon the throne, the man drew four cards from a deck of many things... "The Empress. The Devil. Strength. The Magician. Come forth, Einjerhar." More flashes came, and upon the sigils stood warriors, eerily still and menacing. As one, they raised their weapons.

Being stabbed in the back by a crazed pegasus rider was just her luck.

Iris blanked out due to her injuries, now babbling in a strange God-tongue. While her words were understandable to all, her tone was quite a bit different...ambivalent and unemotional, with no inflection that a normal person would have. It was a voice heard kneeling in stone altars, a whisper in a silent church, a pronouncement of doom from the clear blue sky.

Ciera slowly struggled to her feet. Her head... It ached, a dull throbbing pain, but it was more. There was something... Almost like a memory. But no... A fog covered it. But the magic, it was bringing up these feelings... Shame. Regret. Those made sense. She'd stabbed a teammate. But at the same time, the feelings were... familiar.

She flinched away from Alec and quickly clambered up on her pegasus again. Ashamed to look at him, ashamed to see Iris collapsed on the floor... No, just move forward. Fight. She was good at that at least.

Alex slammed his fist on the ground soon after being downed by the Emperor, but the subsequent attempt to push upwards into a standing position failed.

(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"F-fah, damn!"
For a moment, it seemed like Alex was actually going to make it through the barrage of magical attacks from these summoned foes, but the last one had been a profoundly powerful strike, coursing through his armor and scorching much of his body. If he'd had his helmet on his face probably would've been charred too, but he had at least been lucky enough to avoid that.

At least he could be satisfied with the fact that there had been no more magical ire remaining to strike his allies. Actually, that was something he was very proud of, he found.

With the rest of the party needing the room to advance, and being barely dinged by what his foes had had to offer, Alexander opted to move around the other lumbering armored giant and pressure the wilder of sword and wind.

Alexander looked up at the chaos around the horseman and the strange unarmed little man -- but by the looks of things, he suspected he couldn't really do a thing about it. Then he looked down at his current opponent, who seemed frustratingly able to avoid his attacks as much as Alexander himself had not been wounded significantly. He sighed... but at least he could keep the armored one from moving up and stabbing anyone in the back.

Alexander finally shuffled forward into the larger fray, stepping behind Gregor and crouching over the man. He plonked down his shield between Gregor and the summoned beings, while with his other hand he carefully administered medicine.

There it was again - the sharp, bright lance of a fresh wound through aged scar tissue, the magic that punctured his skin narrowly missing the old man's withered organs. What should have been a mortal wound was merely pain, hot and immediate, but it wasn't enough to bring him down; for the first time since his retirement, Vahn Brannon took a blow that should have killed him and refused to fall to his knees.

(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"Getting close, now. To tell the truth... I am truly curious what drives the guardian of this place to defend it so tenaciously. I am not sure whether or not we could have avoided this fighting, but... I can respect that... loyalty? No, not quite the right word... that... desire to guard, I suppose. Still, of course, there's more fighting to do."

(https://i.imgur.com/5vCk786.png) "It is curious that a strong enough sense of duty can extend past the lives of those who defend, and even the memory of what is being defended." Iris commented in a hollow voice. "The willpower remains. To protect-or destroy-remains after the true reason for fighting has long fled."

Alec's feet seem to come alive as the archer he hypnotized begins their approach. Bounding in small, careful movements, his eyes scan his opponent for any sign of intent, the slightest tell.

Unfortunately for him, a bright flash of light from the archer's bow catches him off guard a split moment after they begun to draw, and in another moment he finds an arrow shot through his leg, the force sweeping him off his feet and sending him face-first into the ground.

Although somewhat annoyed by the reflex-halting curse that one of his remaining foes placed upon him, Alexander chose to speak, not striking and instead just standing with arms crossed (albeit mostly out of a recognition that with a light foe like this, the pattern here suggested he wouldn't be of much use, and the man was likely a skilled mage so advancing would be ill-advised).

Julius heard the sounds of battle coming from outside the storage room fade to silence. The guardian must have been finally defeated. No longer feeling so rushed, he turned his attention back to opening the remaining chest. Still he couldn't help but feel, not as celebratory as he would have liked. They had essentially after all, ended all that remained of this realm. With nothing but silence left, and nobody out there to tell the tale of what had become of this world. He couldn't help but look upon the walls of the keep and wonder about the people who had built it.

The old warlock stood still for a moment, eyes closed. In the stillness of the dead world, he could easily hear all of his companions moving about. Some louder than others, of course. Much louder. He yawned and stretched, then started looking around the place. As he had suggested, if there was anything left of use, it might as well be in their hands. No one else was left for it.

Julius opens the remaining chest. It is filled with old, rusted weapon heads and the remains of rotted wood. One piece stands out from the rest, in excellent condition. Julius gets Rex Hasta!

Just like with the group's last battle, bits of memory began to appear at the corners of their minds. Not as flashes of memory, but a sudden ability to remember, as if they had always been there. Memories of home, friends, and loved ones. Although, Julius, Alec, Alexander and Gregor remembered less than others, Ciera's mind recovered nothing...

As Ciera held the jewel close to the deck of cards, the glow of the crystal she held intensified, then began blinking. As before, the portal from the Nexus opened.

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "Ah, excellent. Now, I'm ready to-" The guardian stopped short, taking in the disarray and damage visible on those nearest to the portal. "What happened? Did something go wrong?"

Hoshiko hurried through the portal, still quiet in contemplation of their encounter. She remembered, now, why it had bothered her so much. The last time had been so much worse, but it had felt close enough to be disturbing. She followed after Friedhelm at some distance, wanting to neither miss further information nor actively engage in conversation at the moment.

Alec stands near the portal to speak through it to Friedhelm, writing at a quick, constant pace into his makeshift journal.
(https://i.imgur.com/YU62jsP.png): "It's a shame you weren't able to determine more details about this artifact. Seems it was used against us during our ascent." He continues making notes, glancing around the area at the top of the tower, "Suppose you could indirectly say that about the last one, too."

Alexander chimed in after Hoshiko.
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"In all fairness, Hoshiko, it is likely that all of us have something that we were guarding. And while I can't quite speak for specifics on magical artifacts, something does seem vaguely familiar about "stones". I'm not certain we should all be so eager to risk our memories, frankly. Of course, it's only fair that, should this stone indeed interfere with memories, somebody hold it in the brief time until our arrival to give Ciera a chance to remember something."
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"But I don't think that I quite like all the eagerness. I think it's likely the memories we're recovering are something of value - things we held onto enough to remember them now, with... the unfortunate exception of Ciera, though I suspect it's likely some force inhibiting her memories or some... sort of compounding factor."
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"...hmm... relatedly, though. This might be selfish of me, but I would like to request I not be the one to hold it despite saying all this. I'd like, at least, to finish remembering the names of my children, you see... it makes me feel rather inadequate as a father to only remember half of them."

Before they returned to the tower:
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"...mm, well... I'm certain all of us have our duty. There's a gap in my younger years, before I had my children... but what I'm certain of is that I had a duty too. I'm sure we all have - we are the kinds of people who were brought to defend everything, after all. You are still free to offer these potential sacrifices like anyone else... but there is, at least, no need to single yourself out."

At the tower:
(https://i.imgur.com/Is1EenW.png):"That might perhaps be wise. Hmmm... well, while we're here, I suppose I'd like to satisfy a bit of curiosity: does anyone else here remember being married or having children? I'm in the mood to talk about mine, you see, at least as far as I remember."

Post by: CrimsonEon on March 05, 2021, 08:52:37 pm
As Alexander inquires about the possibility of anyone else having been married or had children, Alec takes a moment to lift his hand, face flexing as his eyes glaze over the ring adorning it. With the only other ring on either of his hands being the All-Tongues ring, this one was just a simple, unadorned band. Whether it held any significance, the creases in Alec's face would suggest he won't- or can't- say.

(https://i.imgur.com/N1acTRV.png)"Oh, aha... Right. Sorry about that. Uhm, here you go!"

(https://i.imgur.com/gnLk8Ep.png) "Thank you." Friedhelm looked over the deck for a moment, thumbing through the cards. "...Remarkable. Primed and rechargeable summoning glyphs. But why a deck of cards? Surely a static index would be more conducive to use as a defensive tool? Perhaps there was some religious or superstitious aspect to the choice. Faith in luck, perhaps. It is a shame that such a thing will be destroyed... But if it was not capable of defeating you, it will be of little aid to us in our defense." Friedhelm walked away from the group. Once again, he made his way to the sideroom, where he placed the Deck upon the converter, next to grimoire they had recovered previously.
