 The first thing that anyone noticed about Kry-10 Station was that it was quite ad hoc for a supposed military installation. Of course it makes more sense when you remember it was just meant to be a supply depot. The fact that it attracted so many traders that they had to make a 'civilian section' just to keep them from attempting to use the military docks...

Well, let's just say there is a reason Military Cadets were allowed to go there on field trips. It's not exactly a highly secure facilitity.

It does have the best tasting food currently availiable in the Alliance though. Fresh from the farms on Briseis, catering to both dextro- and amino-based lifeforms. It's not a wonder that everyone on-board tends to do business over 'lunch'* if they can.

So the cafes and resteraunts were all full when the newsfeeds came through.

  "Reports are coming in just now-"
 "-trillions killed"
 "-came from out of nowhe-"
 "-lost contact wi-"
 "-eing invad-
 "-Earth devas-"
 "-Thessia-"
 "-Feros-"
 "-Palaven-"
 "-Khar'shan destro-"

They kept at it. Citadel Network News, Alliance News Network and even the Batarian Hegemony's own Department of Information Control broadcasting directly to the public on an unsecured frequency.
The tales may have been from all different places, but the story was the same.
The galaxy was dying, under attack from things. Death, destruction, mutliation, invasion, occupation, tragedy, devastion, loss, nightmare...

More than a few individuals vomited. Others just stared, whether in shock or horror, as the stream of tormenting infomation continued to trikle down. They weren't the problem though.

No, the ones that flipped out and started frakkin'  rioting  were the problem. Doesn't help that you're right in their path.

 Gabe stared dumbfounded at the news rolling in. Attacks, but no one knew who was doing the attacking. It was chaos. There was a crash from behind him and he whirled around to see panicking customers, flipping tables and shoving people out of their way as the moved toward his group. The rest of the students seemed locked onto the news feeds and were blissfully unaware of the impending riot.

 "Oh ****."

He hesitated for a moment then training took over and he grabbed his gun off his hip. He kept it pointed at the ground, but made no effort to hide it. Hopedully he wouldn't gave to use it. He stretched his other hand palm outward toward the panicking crowd.

 " Everyone please calm down! The news is terrifying, but this is unacceptable behaviour. You are making this worse!"

 Amon pauses as the information is filtered through the correct channels before entering his com-link, the growing chaos in the neighboring room becoming nothing more than a background fizzle. It was time to leave this station and report in for the next information drop.

He steps backwards, hand reaching for his ear-piece to request an evac as the background fizzle becomes somewhat more relevant. A quick twitch to the belt holster lands his hand upon his slung shotgun. A few blasts above the head of the crowd should scatter them without undue casualties there's little enough time for even that.

 It was hard to spot when it started, as it seemed to be down to split-second timing. All it ook was one, lone asari freaking out to start running for everyone else to join in.
A living stampede.
Heading straight for the Docks.

Minus the riotiers. More than a few ethnic slurs can be heard as people blame each other for this... insanity . Naturally a brawl breaks out, and of course there are still somepeople taking advantage of the choas.

At least 1 batarian & human pair in blue armour are ripping off together the nearest credit terminal.

No prizes for guessing the wrong one though.

[User]
 Figuring that he could do very little to stop the stampede, Kar'Vael turned his attention to the individuals attempting to break open a credit terminal.
 "Hey!"  he called out.  "Are you going to knock that off and act like civilized people or am I going to have to force you to?"

 From this angle it looked like the crowd would be pouring past him through the dockway entrance. No threat there. Amon keeps his hand hovering over the scatter-gun and begins to cautiously step away from the commotion.
Priority one is getting an update on the situation and his next set of orders, not getting involved with a riot.
Amon clocks some individuals hoping to strong-arm a credit station and a Quarian trying to strong-arm them away in turn, not his concern however and he moves to a depression in the wall to stay clear of any would-be looters to think on his next move.

 The cold steel grates echoed through the small Imperial base as the next group of the captured transport were walked through the halls. Since the capture of the public transport SR-017, Imperial forces have taken all the passengers as captives until they come across the rumoured Jedi travelling on it.

The newest group of ten, a male Kel Dor, a large male Wookiee, a cowering male Rodian, a female Twi'lek, a battle-worn male Human, a young female Zabrak, and four young human females now stand in the middle of the base's cell block, surrounded by four armed Stormtroopers and the current officer looking over the cell blocks. Every one in the group has been disarmed and had their equipment confiscated before being transferred to the outpost.

One of the Stormtroopers walks forward, past the group to the officer and sets down a large crate at his feet.  "This is all their equipment Sir. A few weapons and odd items, but all the licenses check out."  The Stormtrooper then pulls his gun over his shoulder and back to his hands as the officer nods.  "Very good. I want this group looked over and inspected for anything you may have missed before I get back. I should only be a moment, so make it fast soldier, and be careful of the beast. If he even raises his arms without your say so, shoot him down. Nobody would care if a beast dies."

With that, the officer turns and walks down into the cell blocks as two of the Stormtroopers begin to frisk and inspect a few of the other captives, slowly working their way to you.

 Spoiler

 All weapons and gear has been confiscated and packed into the large box.
 All concealed holsters have not been found.
 All of the captives have been cuffed, adding a -2 to all checks that use the Str and Dex ability.
 The main layout of the room you stand in is a small 20 metre diameter circle with a large terminal in the centre. One hallway leads back the way you came, and three hallway branch out on the other side of the room, holding all the cell blocks.
 Two Stormtroopers have their rifles over their shoulder as they search the captives and the two others have their rifles in hand by the terminal and the crate.

[User]
 Oden remains outwardly stolid as the stormtroopers slowly make their way towards him, but inwardly, his mind is racing.

  Well this is quite a situation I've gotten myself into... OK. Stay calm, and be mindful of the living force. That's what master Kuro would have said.

He patiently waits, and observes everything going on around him, waiting for the right moment to act. After all, they still haven't found his lightsaber, and have no evidence that he is a Jedi. He has no need to panic... at least, not yet.

 Spoiler

How far away is the box with all of our gear?
Perception check to notice any security cameras, and any light (under 5 kg) unattended objects I might be able to move with the force if I get desperate:

 Brashe assessed the situation carefully. He was too smart to start a fight against armed opponents while his hands were bound. However, that did not mean he wouldn't fight if that was what the situation would boil down to. Brashe looked over the rest of the ragtag group of captives, and decided that the wookiee was the only valuable combat member if things degraded into a fight.

 Spoiler
If he is able, Brashe positions himself next to the wookiee.

Also- are we bound with our hands in front or behind us?

[User]
 The beast stood among the crowd obviously sticking out like a sore thumb. Clearly because he was a wookiee, but also due to his multiple injuries, and the two huge cyborg arms he had in place of real ones. They appeared to be a Wookiee's true arms analogous to the way Anakin's new arm looked like a human one at the beginning of the Clone Wars. They were thick and muscular to match Jowkazza's intimidating size. His robotic eye rotated around the room just watching and waiting for a moment of weakness while tugging against his restraints- testing them.

He tried to position himself close to the front of the line to be searched and let out one long bellow as a challenge. Most of you couldn't understand it but for those of you that could it could be translated as one word.

 "<Come!>"

 Blue Talon watches the officer leave and scans her fellow captives. She then turns toward the Stormtrooper who just moments ago spoke with the officer.

 "Want some advice?"  She asks politely.  "It's not the Wookie you should worry about, it's the Rodian."  She motions toward the cowering Rodian.

Deception:  (1d20+8)[ 26 ]

 At closer inspection, Brashe realized the wookiee wasn't just a normal wookiee. He pictured the beast ripping a stormtrooper apart with his mechanical claws, and shivered.

At the Twi'lek's comment about the rodian, Brashe found himself shifting his attention to the shady creature.

  I sure hope that alien doesn't try anything dangerous...

[User] As the two Stormtroopers finish searching the first two humans, one steps in between the group and starts inspecting the Rodian, while the other walks over to start inspecting the Wookie with the two armed troopers standing behind him, blasters pointed at the Wookiee.

[User]
 Blue Talon keeps her eyes on the Stormtrooper inspecting the Rodian.

 "I wouldn't get too close to him if I were you."  She starts.  "He's known as the 'Neck-Snapper', and from what I've heard he's quite adept at grabbing and choking people while wearing cuffs."

 The Achilles system may have only been discovered recently but due to it's location near the Traverse and current events, many factions have already began developping it. Hence the think-tank/colony on Achilles-3, affectionatly called Briseis by it's inhabitents while the offical naming paperwork goes through. Ordinarily it would take much longer, with additional surveys, bio-sphere tests etc.

Not that it makes much difference considering who bulit the thing. The Sitra Foundation put a lot of funds into this interprise and has some of the galaxy's finest biologists, geneticists, bio-chemist and medical researchers here; including some Salarians with ties so strong to the Union Military that it's a common rumour that a Dalatrass ordered them here. Of course after Sitra's work countering that inter-species flu, they did have a lot more pull.

Which may be why everyone was a little on edge before the news reports came in. Meanwhile you all were in what passes for a 'food-court'...

 @Elihilidas
 Spoiler
You were mostly just enjoying being able to relax and have a proper sit-down meal. Unlike the rest of this system, there doesn't appear to be any red-flags for 'questionable' activites. You've checked that everything Sitra has done here has been Council approved, or at least lodged, damn beuracrats...

Besides, you're just doing the intial report so someone will actually have a clue when they get to assigning a C-Sec detail here. In the meantime it's almost like you got paid vacation.

 @Lea'Foris
 Spoiler
It's been a good day so far. That Dr. Nolap was quite excited about the data from the samples you've collected over the years and was intrigued by your offer. He even gave your team free lodgings while he worked out the details! It helps that Ya'Del managed to stop Kol from fiddling too much during the meeting. Kee'lah, that boy has got to stop twitching sometime.

Anyway, while the boys went back to the shuttle to give Xir the good news you've decided to check out the food supply. So far it's far from disappointing. 12 kinds of dextro-cheese alone at 1 of the eateries! No ques (not much demand apparently) and it's relatively cheap too.

 @Horace
 Spoiler
You just got on your Lunch Break. On your way over to the 'mess' you double-check everything as you went out. After all, what's the point of guarding the secure section, if you leave the doors unlocked when you're off duty?

Reed was supposed to message you today, so you'll probberly check to see if his done it yet. Meantime, it's chow time!

[User]
 " Hmm... I'm just not sure... "

Lea'Foris stood with one hand on her hip, the other at her forehead. Or rather, where her forehead would be were it not for her suit.

" I do like the look of that curry... "

She was standing in front of one of the dextro food stalls, an increasingly impatient Turian chef opposite her.

" But the pasta also looks really good... "

So far, she'd been standing there for a good five minutes. The Turian let out an exasperated sigh. Lea showed no sign of hearing this, still trapped in her deliberations. The big problem was that she simply wasn't used to having a choice of food, resulting in paralysing indecision.

" I think... I'll have the pasta. "

A nod of her head affirmed this decision. Handing over the credits, she took her plate and headed over to one of the free tables. She hadn't been here long, but already the Sirta Foundation had made her feel welcome. Before she started eating, she gave the food a quick scan with her omni-tool to double check it was safe. She'd been caught out once, early on in her pilgrimage, it wasn't an experience she wanted to repeat. Content that the food was clean, she started to eat. The food was so much better than the nutrient paste the fleet gave out.

" I should see about bringing some of this back for the others, " She mumbled to herself, happily oblivious to the world.

[User]
 Having just finished a meal, Ellie was leaning back in her chair and observing the mess hall. These Sirta people at least knew how to get good cooks on the operation. Some scientists seemed like they forgot to eat half the time, and it surprised her their brains still worked. The news was displayed in screens placed throughout the mess hall, but Ellie was only half paying attention. She was more interested in the assortment of people from around the galaxy gathered here. On Palaven there were mostly just Turians, but here the diversity was enough that they had specialized food stands. It reminded her of back on the Citadel, and for a while as she relaxed it felt like home. She was getting paid for this too. Sweet.

Eventually, Ellie stood up and wandered over to one of the dextro-food stands to get some dessert. There wasn't any hurry, all her reports for the moment were already filed. She wondered where the rest of the Cabal ran off to. If this place had an athletic center, Jamal was almost guaranteed to be there. Who knew where the others where. Walking back to her table and sitting down, she got to finishing off the dessert so she could go look for them.

[User]
 Locked...locked... signed out... said 'hi' to that cute new secretary, Sandy...and now it's time for food, glorious, real grown food... man I love my job... just for the food alone.   Thought Horace as he greedily bit into a ripe, crunchy apple.

" MMMM-mmm !" he moaned a little too loudly.

  Hmm I wonder if that busy-brains Reed has mailed me yet... said it was something important...  . He switched on his omni tool which flushed green and blue...The welcome screen appeared and after checking his timetable -security duty, security duty, security reports etc- proceeded to his messaging programs.

[User]
 Lea finished off her meal and, after returning her plate to the stands, checked her omni-tool. She still had a while before the others were expecting her back, though she wasn't sure what she'd do with her time. She was looking across the food court when something caught her eye. Almost everyone in the court was wearing the Sirta emblem on their clothes, signifying that they worked here, but one Turian had no such markings on her clothing.

Curious, she walked over to the table the Turian was sat at. " Um, hi, my name's Lea'Foris vas Aktannay, do you mind if I take a seat? "

She hovered uncertainly at the table as she continued, " I was just curious, you know, what brings you here? I mean, I saw you're not with Sirta and it just got me wondering... "

  Keelah...   She thought to herself,   I need to get better at talking to strangers...

[User]
 "Hm?"  Ellie looked up when the Quarian approached,  "Yeah, no problem. Name's Elihilidas, but Ellie works just as well. Nice to meet ya."  She casually examined the Quarian, who looked a bit nervous.

 "Ah, just the usual business. Checking up, making sure the bureaucracy doesn't move at a snail's pace. New discoveries always have a bunch of lame paperwork,"  the Turian adjusted her seating position to better address Lea'Foris.

 "What about you? You with the eggheads, or does the fleet have you on i-dotting and t-crossing duty too?"  laughing, Ellie asked as a little add-on at the end,  "And I'm not that intimidating, am I? Is it the armor? It's always the armor."

[User]
 " Oh! No, no, it's not your armour! I'm just not very good at talking to people I don't know, I'm better with machines than people. "

After standing awkwardly for another moment or two, Lea sat down in one of the free chairs at Ellie's table.

" Well, I can see how the paperwork could be dull, but I bet the new developments are interesting to see. " She shifted in her seat a bit, still looking uncomfortable, before continuing, " As for me... I'm in talks with Dr. Nolap, hopefully to sort some stuff out for the fleet. I'm... Afraid I can't say any more than that at the moment, confidentiality and all. "

[User] "Haha, about the opposite with me. Unless it can fly or shoot things, I'm generally not the techie. Typical Turian, huh?"  joked Ellie, twirling the utensil from the dessert she'd ordered. She had a little more while Lea eventually sat down. Once the Quarian was finished with her explanation, Ellie set it down and continued,  "Dealing with the bureaucrats isn't totally dull, yeah. Makes up for it that I get to check this place out before anyone else. This part of your pilgrimage?" She paused, then corrected herself, "No, I guess that wouldn't really be confidential would it? Official stuff then. So, on a related note, what do you think of these Sirta guys? Their stuff checks out, but I can't help getting that  feeling , you know?"

[User]
 " No, I completed my pilgrimage a few years ago now, hence 'vas Aktannay', it means 'Of the Aktannay'. If I were still on my pilgrimage I would be 'nar Dorlan', or 'Child of the Dorlan'. " Lea's tone suddenly became apologetic, " Oh, but I'm probably boring you with that. I can't imagine a stranger would want to just talk about my culture. "

She paused for a moment before continuing, now sounding more curious, " I can't say I've noticed anything unusual, the people here have been very helpful and friendly to my team. What makes you uneasy about them? "

[User]
 "Not at all, I never really knew anything about the Quarians aside the pilgrimage being... existent,"  Ellie shrugged.

 "It's not that I'm uneasy either, exactly. The people around here seem okay. It's just, big corporations almost always seem to have an agenda, you know? I find it difficult to believe these guys are squeaky clean, because so far as I can tell, they  are ."

[User]
 ...and of course, that's when the alarms went off. All of the alarms actually. The smoke alarm sirens were wailling just as asuredly as the pirate-raid warning came out over the intercom. The security alarm was certainly the loudest though, and was the only one that wasn't disabled after a minute or two.

Horace received an emergency ping on his omni-tool, requesting him to grab the C-Sec operative in the 'food court' (as he is the closest) and bring her immeditately to Conferance Bay 3. Ignoring protocall if need be.

Likewise, anyone who gets access to a news-feed on their omni-tool, gets a  ping.

 Spoiler

It was on every feed. Citadel Network News, Alliance News Network and even the Batarian Hegemony's own Department of Information Control broadcasting directly to the public on an unsecured frequency.

[User]
 The sudden alarms made Lea jump in her seat. Her first thought was   hull breach?   before remembering that she wasn't on board a ship. She glanced around before noticing that her omni-tool was trying to get her attention.

Switching over to the news feeds, she finally understood why the alarms were sounding. " Keelah... What's happening? "

[User] Ellie immediately overturned the table to face the main entrance to the food court and pulled Lea behind it for cover, expecting some sort of attack. The place was in a panic, other people rushing to try and figure out what was going on. When no attack came, Ellie tried speaking to Lea over the security alarm,  "This area is too open. If we're under a security threat, we should find somewhere more defensible. The kitchens, maybe?"  Her omni-tool lacking a news feed, she was unaware what the Quarian was so stunned about, and was unable to see the look of horror no doubt on her face through the face mask.

[User]
 Startled at Ellie's suggestion that they were under attack as well, Lea reached for her shotgun while also trying to cycle through the news on her omni-tool.

" What about the fleet? " She muttered to herself urgently, " Keelah, is the fleet safe? "

Rickey sends out Combee!

 "Since I challenged you, you may choose whether to attack first or not."

OOC: that's just calling out the attacks. Actual attacks are determined by speed of course.

[User]
 Alright, I'll go first.

Turning to his duo:

 Seamus, you're up.  Get close enough to use Water Gun.

[User] "Combee, try and dodge that attack and use sweet scent!"

[User]
 Combee shoots forward towards the waiting mudkip. As it gets close it shakes and small puffs of scented dust fly all around her.  (1d20+1)[ 6 ]  vs. 2. The mudkip is hit and now has a sweet smell to it. The mudkip then releases a stream of water from it's mouth, hitting the combee in mid-air.  (1d20-2)[ 9 ]  vs. 2;  (2d10+5)[ 22 ]

Combee [|||---]

Seamus [||||]

[User]
 Right on, Seamus!  Keep it up!  Get close and use another Water Gun!

Turning to Pint, Helms adds:

 Hang on, Pint.  I don't want you taking too much damage from the Combee's Gust; it'll be super effective against you.

Pint smiles in agreement, letting out a chipper " Pineco! " before adopting a more calm demeanor.

[User] "Ouch, that was a hard hit! Combee, time to show them you can sting as well. Use Bug Bite!"

[User]
 Again Combee is the faster one. It homes in on the now sweet smelling mudkip and stings it.  (1d20)[ 2 ]  vs. 1;  (3d10+4)[ 21 ] . While the mudkip got hit quite hard, it does manage to launch a stream of water at its opponent.  (1d20-2)[ 17 ]  vs. 2;  (2d10+5)[ 16 ]

Combee [|-----]

Seamus [35/44]

[User] Almost there, Seamus!  Use Water Gun!

[User] "Nice hit, now it's time for a gust attack!"

[User]
 The combee increases the speed at which it's flapping its wings and the resulting wave of air hits Seamus.  (1d20)[ 15 ]  vs. 1;  (2d10+4)[ 22 ]  The water pokemon counters with a good solid water gun attack.  (1d20)[ 13 ]  vs. 2  (2d10+5)[ 13 ]  which knocks out the combee.

Combee [------]

Seamus [19/44]

[User] "Return Combee, you fought well! Tyrogue, you're up!!"

[User]
 With a small fist pump, Helms returns Seamus to his pokeball.

 Good job, Seamus!

Helms shifts his attention back to the field of battle.

 Alright Pint, you're up.  When you can, Pint, attack with a Bug Bite!

[User] "Watch out, Tyrogue! Use Fake Out to prevent that attack from going through."

[User]
 The battle has just started, but the Tyrogue already races across the grass at it's opponent. Before the pineco can react it launches a Fake Out attack, hitting his opponent.  (1d20)[ 4 ] ;  (2d10+6)[ 16 ]

Pint flinches!

Tyrogue [||||]

Pint [47/52]

[User] Don't worry, Pint!  Hit that Tyrogue back with a tackle!

[User] "You use Tackle too, Tyrogue!!"

[User]
 Both pokemon storm across the grass and collide with eachother. (Tyrogue)  (1d20)[ 3 ]  ;  (3d10+6)[ 26 ]  (Pine)  (1d20)[ 4 ] ;  (2d10+5)[ 19 ] . They collide with eachother and either pokemon takes substancial damage.

Tyrogue [||--]

Pint [32/52]

[User] Pint, you're doing great!  Hit that Tyrogue with another Tackle!

[User] "Tyrogue, you too!!"

[User]
 Again the two pokemon charge eachother and hit.

Tyrogue  (1d20)[ 13 ] ;  (3d10+6)[ 31 ]
Pine  (1d20)[ 19 ] ;  (2d10+5)[ 24 ]

Tyrogue [|---]

Pint [12/52]

[User] Pint, you are doing great!  I know you're tired, but give that Tyrogue one more tackle.

[User] "Tyrogue, make sure you get him as well!!"

[User]
 Both pokemon look severely weakened, yet they hang in there with strong determination. They realize this will settle the fight between them. Suddenly the Tyrogue moves to the left and charges at the Pineco. Quickly the pineco responds by facing it and starting a charge of his own.

The Tyrogue's attack looks to be the stronger one, but just before they hit he trips and looses his balance. With a loud bang the two collide, having thrown their last remaining energy in this move. Lots of dust is thrown into the air from the huge release of energy. When the dust settles only the pineco remains standing over the tyrogue. The Tyrogue must have put to much energy into it and got blinded by it's intensity.

Tyrogue  (1d20)[ 1 ] ;  (3d10+6)[ 23 ]
Pine  (1d20)[ 7 ] ;  (2d10+5)[ 16 ]

[User]
 Rickey looks flabbergasted as the pineco comes out victorious. He just stands there for a bit.

Then, suddenly he seems to regain his composure and he sprints to his tyrogue.

 "That was an awesome battle Tyrogue. It was really close and you gave it your all. Go and rest now. " he says as he returns the pokemon.

Quickly he approaches Helms, having a big smile on his face.

 "Wow, that was a great battle. I thought my pokemon were more experienced, but you still got a double win. I am very impressed with your skills and have learned a lot from this. A lot more training needs to be done before I can go to the gym and challenge it. Thanks again and good luck with any further battling!!"

Seamus has gained xp!! (now lvl 13)
Pine has gained xp!! (now lvl 14)
You also get another minor purchase from the winnings.

[User]
 Helms watches on, pokeball twirling ever faster in his hand as the two pokemon approach each other.  He suddenly lets out with a gasp when he sees the Tyrogue trip, dropping the pokeball from his hand.  Dust is flung into the air and all Helms can do is stare on in quiet anticipation.  When the field clears, Helms shoves both arms towards the sky, fists clenched in victory.  With a whoop and holler, Helms runs out to return his pokemon and to greet his opponent.

 Pint, you were amazing out there!  Great job!  Now, return to your ball for some rest.

Helms takes Pint back into his ball for some well earned rest.  He turns towards Rickey as he begins to speak.  Once done, Helms replies:

 Rickey, that was an impressive battle.  Your pokemon are very well trained!  Good luck with your future endeavors as a trainer.

Helms extends his hand out for a hand-shake.

 Before you go, I'm doing research on battling for my college thesis.  Would you mind sharing a few tricks/strategies that you have learned and make use of during your training and battling?

[User] "I haven't got many special tricks, but one thing is this. When I know what kind of pokemon I'm fighting, I save any moves that causes opponents to flinch for super effective moves or when the balance needs tipping."

 "Welcome! I know you must be confused. Perhaps a bit disoriented, yes? Well, being beaten into unconsciousness can have that effect. Hopefully, you've sufficiently recovered by now, or the rest of your life will be short and likely unpleasant."

You cannot see the speaker, but you hear him just fine. The floor underneath you is bare rock, and the room is lit by a single window less than six inches square. The door in front of you is solid metal, and there is a hook with a bag hanging from it on the wall.

Your cell itself is just barely big enough that you could stretch out on the floor and not touch both walls with your head and feet.

"Now, your situation is as follows. I have brought you to my island for a bit of fun and games. You have been chosen due to your skill set, and because I think it might be fun to watch you die. In front of you is the only equipment you'll receive from me, but if you should manage to slay a few of your competitors, well... I can't be responsible for what happens to their possessions.

There are twenty-one competitors on my island, and until twenty of you are dead (for the second time, in some cases), none of you are leaving. If two or more of you remain after seventy-two hours, I'll personally slay each of you. I would, of course, be most disappointed if that should occur... After all, why bring so many and miss out on a proper bloodbath?

When your door opens, head outside and seek out your opponents. Feel free to make alliances all you wish. Bear in mind that nothing lasts forever, and that includes friendship. Especially here.

This island is surrounded on all sides by water. Swim too far from shore, and the various creatures in my employ will ensure you do not survive long. Feel like taking the easy way out, and not giving your competition the satisfaction of killing you? Be my guest!

There are no rules here. There is only the game, and I want to see a good, bloody battle. If I am unsatisfied with the proceedings, I'll change the game up a bit. Survive til the end, and you will be rewarded and returned to your lives outside. Failure is it's own punishment, I'm afraid. There will be no second chances.

The game begins soon. Prepare yourself. And do try to have fun. That IS why you're all here."

 A loud 'DING' rings in your ears, followed by more of the same male voice from earlier.

'Plonk has exited the cells.'

Several minutes later...

'DING' - 'Meltrix has exited the cells.'

[User] 'DING'- 'Seamus has exited the cells.'

 Several minutes pass, until 'DING'- 'Paul has exited the cells.'

A few minutes after that, 'DING- Kunhe has exited the cells.'

 [Apologies for the delay.]

Several more dings ring out in quick succession. A massive message, written in fire, appears in the sky.

It reads, 'PLONK, MELTRIX, SEAMUS, PAUL, KUNHE, SCHEPPEN, YU-KIANG, FUJIWARA, AND ELTHARION HAVE EXITED THE CELLS. THE TIME IS NOW FIVE IN THE EVENING. THE SUN SETS IN THREE HOURS, COMPETITORS, AND YOUR SEVENTY TWO HOURS HAVE NOT YET BEGUN. I HOPE YOU'RE ALL ENJOYING YOURSELVES... I KNOW I AM. YOURS TRULY, ERWIN.'

'DING'- 'Lee has exited the cells.'

 The sky bursts into flames with incredible fire once more, as a message appears in the sky.

'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEASTS AND CRITTERS! YU-KIANG HAS MERCILESSLY SLAUGHTERED SCHEPPEN, FOR OUR FIRST KILL! HOW I DO LOVE BLOODSHED. SINCERELY, ERWIN.'

[User]
 As you waited in the lobby of the Twelve's Sharn offices, you looked around, seeing a few other people doing the same.

Thinking back to why you came here, you recall the letter sent to you, saying that you were being requested for a brief job, that the branch head wished to keep on the quiet side.

The meeting room's doors open shortly.
"Ah, the people I contacted. Come in, come in."  A male voice says in a rather boisterous tone.

Walking in, you scanned the room, seeing a large table in the center, ten chairs around it, with one seat filled.

The man sitting in the chair is old, his hair already graying, and is wearing a practical outfit suitable for wizards to wear at meetings.

 "Now then, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shulal d'Cannith, head of the Sharn branch office of the Twelve."  Shulal says, nodding as he does so.

 "I called you here because a small... unofficial, expedition that I sent to the Eldeen Reaches a month ago failed to report back on time. I want you to investigate the area that they said they were going to make camp in, and report your findings to me."  He continues, setting a simple folder on the table and sliding it to the place closest to you.

"You will be paid a thousand gold each for completing this mission, and a packet containing the information you will need will be given to you to study en-route."
 "A map to the location is inside the packet. As for the reason of the expedition... I had heard rumors of an artifact that appeared to date several thousand years there, and I dispatched them to investigate it."

 "Unfortunately, our first report from the expedition indicated that scrying and similar methods are not effective in the area around the artifact. In addition, I could only draw upon this branch's mages for my investigations, and they... Tend to be more... Flashy than that."  Shulal continues, as though addressing the topic of , before looking around.

 "Now, I have arranged transport for you to the point where the expedition split from the main trail. I hope that you have good luck on this mission."  He finishes, indicating that the meeting is over.

_________________

Arriving at the lightning rail station the next day, tickets in hand, you are guided to a first class car.

Inside the car, there are two free compartments, with the third being entered by a nervous looking gnome carrying a case with the House Sivis coat on its side.

After you're shown where you're staying for the trip, the lightning rail begins moving, carrying you towards your destination.

 Spoiler
Ask questions in OoC regarding the packet you all were given, and I'll post answers. I'm also setting this up to have an initial combat encounter to gauge strength, roughly. Guess what it'll be. 😛

[User]
 A loud, dull, thud rocks the car, and Albaster steps in.  "AL-TR42 reporting for this expedition. What are the names and occupations of fellow party members? As mentioned, I am AL-TR42, All-Terrain Reconnoitering unit 42, tasked with Cartography, Conversations, and aiding all members of this task force."

He pulls out a small piece of paper from inside his chest, and prepares to write down whatever may be said.

 Spoiler

Because we all need an excuse to explain ourselves IC.

[User]
 Fir

The pale hooded person, who kept his head down where his face could not be seen under his hood, spoke with a deep chill in his voice.  "I am the Reaper. Fir Recant, the Reaper."  He turns his gaze out of the window, listening intently while he stared.

 Spoiler
Fir is not the friendliest person. But he is a good team member nonetheless. I promise

[User] Maka stood there, towering over most if not everyone.  He did not say much but little escaped his eyes.  "Whatever it takes will be done."

[User]
 Katamok finds Maka to be tiny and cute.  After all, he barely fits into the compartment.

Anyway, he lets out a deep belly laugh and claps the fastidious Warforged on the back with an enormous hand.

 "I am Katamok of Syrkarn, metal man,"  says the half-giant, his deep basso voice resonating heavily in the cramped compartment,  "late of the 31st Brelish Irregulars.  I mostly hit things with my sword."

[User]
 Lania D'Orien

The rather attractive woman with auburn hair and sparkling blue eyes smiles when the wizard mentions transportation.  "Surely you know who I am, since you hired me for this expedition. I trust our transport is through my house? If you'd paid me the sum instead, I could have gotten you a better rate (or at least kept the cash myself)!"  Turning to the group, she gives a short head nod.  "Lania D'Orien, at your service. I've been running and guarding caravans since I was old enough to walk. I've been to the Reaches for a spell or two, so you're in good hands."

[User] "It seems that we have a very well-fitted team going. Who might you be, gnome of the House of Sivis?"  He turns to the small one, and bends over him, trying his best to keep the retractable blade in his arm from getting caught in the ceiling.

[User]
 The trip between Sharn and Wroat goes by quickly.

Arriving, you have a chance to stretch a bit, and walk around.

 Lania

 Spoiler
While the lightning rail is halted at the station, you notice a few of the boarding passengers. A rather indistinguishable man, getting on a few cars down.

A rather big and thuggish looking human (possibly with some giant blood in him, from the shape of his face), bearing the mark of House Tarkanan, is clambering in to the car behind the indistinguishable fellow.

What appears to be a group of minstrels is boarding further back, carrying instrument cases into one of the cheaper to reserve cars.

Out of the corner of your eye, though, you think you spot a cloaked figure near the furthest end of the station, getting on the last car. Must be someone who doesn't know how to be subtle.

Shortly after the vehicle gets moving again, you hear a rapping at the door of your compartment, before a steward opens it and leans in.

 "The first class dining car is open now."  He says tipping the front of his cap at you.  "Feel free to head there whenever you wish."

...If you recall the layout right, it's in the car one further away from the helm, and not very far. The packet mentioned that dining was covered with the tickets, you remember.

[User]
 "I shall go,"  says the scout,  "What? Are not warforged able to appreciate the sights and smells of a good cook?"  He walks through the door, and straight to the dining area without a moment's hesitation.

 Spoiler

Am I correct in remembering that they do not need to eat, or can they? If so, I will.

[User] Glancing around, Maka keeps his guard up as any good bodyguard would do and looks to see what is worth having here.

[User] Lania gives a coy smile as she makes for the door.  "There's no such thing as a free lunch, but a prepaid one isn't too shabby either."

[User]
 Fir Recant

Silently the Reaper followed. He didn't need food, but he followed nonetheless, just for sake of following. He stood at the edge of the dining car, his hood still covering his face, and observed the others.

 Characters (for reference)  -  OOC

It's a been a quiet week in your little corner of Ooo. No damsels in distress, no rampaging monster hoards, not even a pet stuck up a tree (or indeed, a tree stuck up a pet, which happens distressingly often in Ooo).

Oscar, Split and Samuel are hanging out at their home outside the Candy Kingdom, keeping themselves busy with their own pursuits, when a large pinkish bubble squeezes in through an open window and floats into the center of the main room. Before anyone can react the bubble pops loudly and a metal object, about the size of a hyooman fist drops onto the ground with a thud. A light on the top flickers and a holographic display appears above it.

   “Heroes of the Land of Ooo, heed my call, the Bubble Kingdom is in grave danger! Though carefully hidden, it has somehow been infiltrated by evil dust monsters! Theyʼre, like, seriously messing up the place! If you will help, come to the Bubblegum Bash in the Candy Kingdom. From there, I will be able to use my soap power to transport you to my kingdom! Please help!”

Looks like your quiet streak is at an end...

[User]
 Oscar is outside, practicing his swordsmanship against a giant dandelion (giant for a dandelion, at least - maybe half his size). He parries a few invisible thrusts as the wind moves the stem in nearly unpredicatible directions before stepping forward and stabbing just at the side.

He steps back, pleased with that hit and prepares for another round when a bubble comes floating by. His sword goes to his belt, almost as a subconscious move, as he starts to follow the shiny bubble to wherever it is heading.

He wanders into the main room just as the bubble pops, surprised by the solid object that drops out. The first line gets his attention, and by the time the message finishes, Oscar has begun gathering the standard adventuring supplies with a slightly fanciful step, due to the meeting location.

 "Come now, friends. Our aid has been requested, and 'tis our duty to provide for a kingdom in distress."

[User]
 Sam gathers his supplies.

 Bubble Kingdom? I've never been there before, but if they need help, it's definitely worth checking out. If the Bubble Kingdom is carefully hidden though, how will we find it?

[User] "If it's an adventure, we had better call Nacho. He'd be pretty upset if he missed out."  Sam rifles through some piles of junk on the floor until he finds his phone. It was made out of some pieces of pre war technology and he never knew its original use. Held together tenuously by various adhesives, he dialed Nacho's number.

[User]
 Nacho felt his phone vibrating from its perch on top of his head.  He liked to keep it there while he meditated on his Ultimate Concept.  Balancing it helped focus his mind while he sat atop the Sphere.  Unfortunately the vibrations made him fall to the floor.  He bounced back quick and flipped it open.

 "Yo yo, Samuel.  What's up?"

[User] "Uh, hi Nacho. Have you ever heard of the Bubble Kingdom? Apparently, it's in some serious danger."

[User]
 "Bubble Kingdom?  Can't say I've ever been there.  Tell me what's up, Sam."

Nacho went to the fridge and grabbed a cold bottle of water juice.  If there was some serious business going down, he couldn't think about it while thirsty.

[User] "I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. They're being attacked by some evil dust monster, but I'm not sure how they even managed to find us. Come down to the Candy Kingdom and we/ll figure it out from there."

[User]
 "Dust Monster, huh?  I'm on my way.  Cheezout."

With a flick of his wrist Nacho snapped his phone shut.   "Sounds serious.  I'd better grab everything I'll need."   He looked around his living space and found what he was seeking.   "Backpack!"  he said to himself.   "If you're going to go on an adventure you'll need a backpack.  Now for supplies..."

He grabbed a bunch of stuff he thought would be useful and put it on over his traveling cape.   "Oh, I almost forgot!  Can't leave without the ol' cheeseknife."   Nacho grabbed up a freshly sharpened dagger and stuck it in it's sheathe.  Nacho picked up his magic orb and set out for the Candy Kingdom.

[User]
 "Aye. The message came by way of bubble, as one might expect."

Oscar continued to prepare for the trip to the center of the Candy Kingdom, his shiniest helm on his head and a cleaning cloth in case of trouble finding them on the way.

Double-checking that his sword was on display at his belt, Oscar turns to his Hyooman friend once he closes his phone.  "Be there any last supplies needed for our journey? If this danger be real and of such severity that our presence has become necessary, I fear our return may well be delayed."

[User]
 Sam digs through the pile of tech again until he finds a couple of gadgets and stuffs them in his bag.

 "I think we have everything we need. We will be going through the city though, if we have forgotten anything."

Sam puts on his lion hat to hide his gills and exits the house with Oscar.

[User]
 (ooc: accelerating ahead, since you guys need to meet up before anything significant happens)

It was already late afternoon when the bubble message arrived, and by the time you arrive in the Candy Kingdom the sun is starting to set.

Very few of the Candy People seem to be around. Posters and flyers posted on various buildings, walls, and one stuck to the back of a very large jawbreaker man, advertise The Bubblegum Bash.

 -----
 The Bubblegum Bash!

The greatest party in Ooo is back! Princess Bubblegum is holding the annual Bubblegum Bash at Candy Castle, 5pm Friday! Come and party your brains out!*

Be there or be square!**

 *Invite only.

**Or circular, for those of you who are already square-shaped.
-----
It's already past 5pm and you can hear loud music playing. It's not hard to find the castle, it being the largest building in the city.

The three of you meet in the courtyard outside the castle. Stairs lead up the the main entrance where a pair of Banana Guards stand watch at the doors.The main doors are closed but you can hear laugher and cheers over the music; must be one heck of a party.

[User] "It would have been nice if we'd gotten an invitation instead of just a holo tape. Anyone got any ideas?"

[User]
 Oscar stands behind the jawbreaker man long enough to read the note, before pausing with a thought.

 "Quite. Still, it might be that a request to be present is sufficient invitation."

[User] "But then we'd reveal our mission to everyone. If the Bubble Kingdom truly is in a secret location, I'm not sure I want to bring it up."

[User] A look of shock crosses Oscar's face as he leans in and whispers to Sam.  "Surely you can't mean that you suspect a threat is present among the Banana Guards! Or the court of the Candy Kingdom."

[User] "They could cause us trouble whether they mean to or not. If you see it fit to alert them as to our mission, you can do so, but we should be cautious with our mission."

[User] From around the corner of the building the scent of cheesy, fresh nachos wafts on the air...

[User]
 Oscar's eyes widen for a moment before he responds.  "Ah. I understand your meaning now."  He taps his snout in a manner that suggests that he still doesn't, but that the misunderstanding shouldn't be problematic.

At the smell of nachos, Oscar sniffs the air and turns, but keeps himself from moving by reminding himself of the mission.

[User]
 Near the castle entrance, one of the banana guards seems to have noticed the scent of cheese.

"Hey, you smell that?"

"Smell what?"

"Dunno. Something... funky."

"Wasn't me, man."

The first guard sniffs at his arm a bit.

"Not me either. Eh, it's not important anyway." he says, though he continues to sniff at the air.

"...I'm gonna go check it out."

"Whatever."

One banana guard begins slowly moving down the steps, sniffing at the air as he goes.

[User]
 As the guard leaves his post, Oscar walks up to the remaining guard, doing his best to present his position as a Hot Dog Knight as he does so.

 "Ho, friend Banana Guard! I am afraid this Hot Dog Knight must make a request of you. We have business inside and must request that you let us through this door."

[User]
 The guard glances at Oscar with disinterest.

"If you have business then I assume you have a permit or other identification, as well as a good reason for not using the business entrance?"

You guess that the business entrance is likely around the back somewhere, because there's always a back entrace to these places, right?

[User] Do you guys think there's a back entrance? It's worth a shot if we don't have any other ideas.

 Watch One Direction This Is Us  : The Directioners global conquest has been likened to Beatlemania, but This Is Us is no A Hard Days Night. Because, like every other pop outfit, this lot are hard at work counting up the airmiles desperately attending to every fanbase from Mexico to Japan, the only way to make an insiders account is to go on the road with them, and document their resulting cocooned view of the world. It has only been three years since Simon Cowell waved his reality TV wand, and out of his box jumped five energetic, photogenic goslings, prancing around in trainers, quiffed up to their eyeballs and apparently having lots of contagious fun. It feels longer because, in that time, the Fab Five have gone as far as any British band before in dominating the global pop scene, and seem destined to scale ever-higher Twitter-fuelled heights.

 Download One Direction This Is Us  : Director Morgan Spurlock said he talked to the band members about their relationships, but didnt include the discussions in the final cut. I find their relationships with each other to be much more of an important part of how they interact, says Spurlock of the band. How they balance each other out and stay grounded. I didnt want to be in a situation where we are suddenly introducing a kind of relationship that the guys have. And suddenly they are not in it anymore.Spurlock pointed out that Payne broke up with a longtime girlfriend (Danielle Peazer) during the making of the film.The kids are aged 19-21, says Spurlock. How serious were the relationships when you were that age? I still stand by that decision, he adds, of leaving the discussions out. Its surprising since there is plenty of interesting fodder on that topic.

 Watch One Direction This Is Us Online  : One thing noticeably missing from One Directions concert film and documentary This Is Us ?- the band members girlfriends.There are long shots of excited, even crying, fans, screaming for the five members of the right-now boy band ? Niall Horan, 19, Zayn Malik, 20, Liam Payne, 19, Harry Styles, 19, and Louis Tomlinson, 21 ? in the film that opened Friday. But no girlfriends ? either discussed in lengthy interviews with the band members or seen onscreen. Its surprising since there is plenty of interesting fodder on that topic. Styles dated Taylor Swift, a relationship that inspired Swift to write the hit song I Knew You Were Trouble. Its a song and relationship Swift reminded the world about during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. Malik recently got engaged to pop singer Perrie Edwards.

 The sullen looks on the peasantry as you travel through Koth is worse than you had heard, the serfs of this country truly are little better than slaves. As you approach the town gate you can see two guardsman, the golden sashes across their chests proclaim them as dabblers in the arcane arts, and their basket hilted swords by their waist proclaim them trained swordsmen. They look at you and one sneers, “A wee little halfling, what business do you have in the Hallowed Forest of the Greatest God?”
Before you can respond you hear a voice come from behind the man, “Do not provoke him, Sir Jerol, he could cut you down by the time you drew your sword.” The speaker moves forward and you can see that he is no lean man, about 42 years old, his hair already graying and his beard only covering the space between his mustache and an oiled point that extends from his chin. He casually strokes his beard with one mailed hand, while the other with a deliberate casualness reveals the holy symbol of the Elder God of Power that hangs from his belt. Despite his words to the guard, this man does not seem in the least afraid of you as he approaches, whether that is because he trusts that his god will protect him, his armor, or his magic, you cannot be sure. Suddenly a smile spreads across his face like a plague, as he looks down at you with a predatory gaze. “The runes said to seek the aid of the knife of a child who is a man, were they speaking of you?” He asks.

[User] Probably not, but I am willing to try if you are willing to pay. Though you should probably explain more as we go somewhere more private.  Pyrom said smiling. The man seemed weird and almost threatening but it was probably just the goatee. Those things were always hard to get used to. Of course the fellow was probably perfectly normal with poor choice in facial hair.

[User]
 The man grins,  "Speaking in private would be preferable. Guards, let him through."  The guards step away allowing you entrance into the village. It is a fairly large village, at least compared to Mirrith to the north and for being within such a thick forest; you've heard it's because of the step-pyramid temples of the kingdom which call rain and focus the lifeblood of Gaia into the soil making the forest bloom.

The people, though, look far from happy, and seem to hold this man in fearful reverence, some going as far as to prostrate themselves at his passage; such is the status of one of the priest-lords of Koth. In the center of the town you can see a large structure, a relatively tiny pyramid no more than 50-ft in height, but instead he leads you to what seems to be a private grove in the village, and a small building within it. Muttering a small prayer of power, he lights a fire already prepared, a metal grill sitting above the flames, and places a pot of tea on the heat.

 "I am Lorence, a priest of Koth. I am of a man of some small import, though I lack standing among the great names of the kingdom, for now. I believe we can help each other. I seek a blessing from the God Whose Name is Death*, a blessing that is coming to this land. To obtain it I will need help. The runes have told me of one who may be able to help, the child-man's knife. I think they spoke of you, a halfling is a man whose stature is like a human child's, and you hold yourself as one with some skill. I have no doubt you could have killed those guards before they could have even readied their arms if you had needed. So I make you an offer, help me and I will be most grateful, and the gratitude of one blessed by He Who Is Might* is of some great value. You will perform tasks to ease my ascent, and you will rise with me as my ally, my vassal. What say you?"

Notes:
*This is one of the many, many titles of the Elder God of Power (also called the God of Koth). His true name is a secret and it is said that only a select few among his priests know it and that Power Word spells function by forcing the target's mind to hear a portion of his true name.

Realized I never gave you the definition of Elder Gods in the setting. Gods in it come in multiple tiers the main ones being:

 Spoiler
Elder God: An Elder God is. Where a god has power over their aspect an Elder God is their aspect (or so it is believed). Legends tell that in a great war the Elder God of Magic was injured and arcane magic was lost across the Three Worlds, others say that time is the blood of Kronos the Elder God of Time and each of his arteries is another time stream, and Gaia the Elder Goddess of the World is thought to physically be the Three Worlds. Even theologians do not agree on what this means concerning the Elder God of Power.

The Four Great War Gods: Exemplifying the 4 extreme alignments, the 4 Great War Gods are the most powerful non-Elder gods. They are each a god of war and usually act as leaders to other similarly aligned gods.

Gods: Regular deities. Usually the children of other gods or Elder Gods, sometimes ascended mortals.

[User]
 If I may ask, what type of blessing will he give to this land? I will agree anyways as long as I get rewarded for it.  Pyrom said smiling. This guy seemed a bit suspicious but as long as he didn't try anything funny it would probably be fine. The real question though was whether he was insane or if he was totally sane in going after a prophecy particularly when there were probably hundreds of halflings that could fit that description.

 Spoiler
Rolling sense motive  (1d20-1)[ 14 ]

[User]
 "It is not this land that will receive the blessing,"  the man smiles,  "It is a blessing for one man, chosen by the God of Koth himself. The messenger did not say what this blessing was in detail but it assured us that whoever obtains it will be granted power beyond any within the kingdom. Perhaps he plans to make his chosen the lord of a realm in the Outer Planes, or the King of a new Empire of Koth. I cannot say with certainty/ But know that when I have obtained this power I will remember those who helped me and I will reward them in turn."

He seems no more crazy than you've heard to expect from the priesthood of Koth; wealthy, powerful, and somewhat megalomaniac. Even so something has got the priests stirred up, and for the first time in centuries there are stories of open in-fighting amidst the clergy; something that they have avoided since civil wars reduced the Empire of Koth which stretched to the Badlands in the North all the way to the southern shore over 800 miles distant to little more than 100 miles in its longest direction. The one which led him to you was probably a simple  Divination  spell which would usually (but not always) be talking about the first halfling he met, if it's talking about a halfling at all.

He's probably 50-60% crazy, but that's normal for the clerics here.

 Prologue:

  "In the Age of Ancients,The world was unformed, shrouded by fog.A land of grey crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragons

But then there was Fire.And with Fire came Disparity.Heat and cold, life and death, and of course... Light and Dark.

Then, from the Dark, They came,and found the Souls of Lords within the flame.

Nito, the First of the Dead.The Witch of Izalith, and her daughters of Chaos.Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights.And the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten.

With the Strength of Lords,they challenged the dragons.

Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales.The witches weaved great firestorms.Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease.

And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the dragons were no more.Thus began the Age of Fire. . .But soon, the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain.Even now, there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights.

And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign."

“You are undead, imprisoned in the undead asylum to await the end of the world, or you can attempt to escape.”

You are sat in a cold, dark prison cell, you ears a constantly assailed by the mourns and wails of the crazed hollow, but there is also another sound that comes at three second intervals and shacks the very ground you sit on.

As you sit deep in your own thought you hear the sounds of dragging and then a loud thunk as an severally emaciated body slams into the ground at you feet.

 Prostrated, Valt prays to his Gravelord, and continues the process for several hours. He would be free, that much he knew, and he would prove himself. All he needed was a sign, a message from up above that- Suddenly body. Looking at the emaciated body, Valt looks it over with slight interest  ".....Beautiful..."  he remarks as he looks iver the body. Truly, a great example of his Lord Nitos power at work.

[User]
 Quite opposite of her cellmate, Isabella looks up from where the body dropped from. Yes there was a body and Valt could scrounge it to his heart's desire, but her attention was more towards the question, "Why did this body just fall from the ceiling?"

Eir walks over to the emaciated corpse, sniffing it, looking first at Isabella and then at Valt, generally puzzled as to the sudden lump of rotting corpse.

 Spoiler
Spells prepared will be posted a little later, need to scour the SRD to see what I want.

[User]
 As Valt rummaged through the tattered cloths of the corps the pungent smell of rotted flesh fills the cell. After several minuets of searching vault find a key tied around the corpses neck by a length frayed rope.

As Isabella looks up she sees a knight looking down at them through a hole in the ceiling, the knight noticing he was being watched quickly moves out of sight.

[User] Grasping at the key, Valt moves to the door before them, and attempts to open it. Gripping his mace in one hand, he turns back to Isabella and curtly says  "Lets get moving."

[User] After turn in the key several times Vault and Isabella hear the locks inner works grinding and  squeaking as if reluctant to let them leave, the door then swings open to the sound of more  squeaking to reveal a dank, wet hallway that extends 20 feet before being  obscured by murky shadows.

[User]
 "Mm."   She responds. She takes hold of the bow in her hands, nocking an arrow into its string.

  "Come on Eir."   She says to her animal friend, ushering her along.

She follows behind Valt, bow ready if needed.

[User] Tightening his grip on hismace, Valt strides forward with cautious determination, and bashes aside anything that gets in his way. He pockets the key as he walks, and grabs ahold of his Unholy symbol in its place, in the event he would have to cast any miracles.

[User]
 As you advance down the hall the loud thudding suddenly stops and then a loud cracking and snapping as the bars in the wall to the left of you buckle under the weight of a hollow launchers through the air.

 Spoiler
Sorry I haven't  and won't be able to post for a while.

[User]
 Instinctively and reactively, Isabella pulled her bowstring and aimed directly at the sound of the crashing, only to see that now a corps overhung from the contorted metal fence. She relaxed her arm, not firing the arrow, but keeping it nocked.

Her eyes turned from the corpse to past the iron bars. She wanted to see whatever threw the body.

[User] Nary giving the corpse a second glance, Valt completely ignores it once he realizes it will not assault him. Let the Witch go about her investigating, Valt had to leave this gods forsaken place, it had been far too long since he had felt fresh air against his face and enjoyed the sight of superior undead creations. Still gripping his symbol in one hand and his mace in the other, Valt continued past to the end of the hallway, determined to leave as quickly as possible.

[User]
 As Isabella looks through the crumpled bars, you see the back of a massive, dull green scaled (almost lizard like) humanoid. In the small of its back and carrying on for 3 feet, there is a rigged bone tail, which looks like a continuation of its spinal cord.
But the most intimidating thing Isabella see is the wicked head of a gigantic mace.
As you take in the massive grotesque, it walks away and the ground starts to shack again.

As vault travels down another several feet of the dank hallway, an emaciated hollow with its back to you comes into focuse, clasped in its right hand is a tarnished sword. As vaults foot falls echo down the corridor the hollow turns its body, and its fixes it sunken eye sockets on vaults eyes.

 It has been two weeks since your salvation and rescue from the wreckage of the slave ship that brought you to far-off lands and the care of a kindly, if fast-talking, merchant and his voyaging caravan.

Along the long journey from the deserts of Meraz to the orient, you were outfitted with all of the possessions you wished (within reason of course), in exchange for your services through the desert. While some of you may have had qualms or took to the deal with gusto, you all accepted the merchant Faiz's offer. In this time, the caravansary of forty seems to have grown to appreciate your assistance and company. On the 15th day of your travel through the scorching desert, you broke your fast before the sun rose, as Faiz demanded, and set off eastward with bellies full and throats beginning to parch, a discomfort to which you'd all grown accustomed.

 "Looks like another blessed day, kissed by the burning lips of the Dawnflower, wouldn't you say?"  Faiz calls out. Some of his caravansary feign laughter, while others march on in muffled song led by the expedition's bard, a young orc with a surprisingly beautiful voice.

 "It occurs to me... While I have learned their names, I have neglected to ask our newest brethren what they intend to do once we have reached the markets of Goka,"  posited Faiz in his hoarse, piping voice.  "Anyone care to share with us a tale of future prospects?"

The breeze picked up, and for a moment the heated grip of the sun seemed to relax.

[User]
 Sam
 "...Revenge."  That's all Sam says, without making eye contact with anyone. And then he is back to staring ahead into the distance. The crew has long grown accustomed to his sullenness... Slavery did not go over very well for him.

[User] "Some things must be done, whether we want to or not."  Rein offered little more explanation than Sam as she walked, arms connected behind her.

 Braren Felwick
  Everyone seems to after some one ...   grinning to himself  "So much potential here I see. May be we tell each other alittle more."  he said to the wreckies as he looked about  "Here I will fo frist. I was betrayed by a king whose weak mind comdened those they did not understand and raised by a chruch thinking to charm me into a being that lacks a soul." Taking a breath he continued in a flase town of delight  "From there I began to create a new order that removed those of true evil from the kingdom only to be stabbed in the back by the chruch after the discovered I was planning from removing their corruption from the kingdom and "  here he coughed a little.  "the king."
 "So now I'm planning on restarting my life and maybe plan of latter thank the earlier mentioned persons for there aid in raising me into the fine man I am now."  Both his eyebrows raised up as he spoke.  "Anyone that can top that?"

[User]
 Before:
Mali woke up on that shore stripped bare by the waves. The sun beat down mercilessly on his scarred back, while he lay there motionless. It was a long time before he moved, rising from the sand. He was an orc, massive and muscled. His skin the colour of an avocado. His back and face marked with the cruel scars left my the whip. His fangs jutting from his lip were broken and jagged. His eyes though bore the worst of it, years beneath the sun hadn't been kind to his sight. His eyes were surrounded by spots of dark red flesh extending back across his hairless scalp. Mali did not understand what had happened, he stood on this foreign beach, alive. His manacles, the writings fast fading, lay broken open on the soft sand...

 Now:
Mali had made use of the merchants offer covering himself in a heavy layer of cloth. Not an easy feat considering his unusual size. His head especially was shaded from the sun and from the sight of others. Mali often averted his gaze from others, seeming only able to meet the eyes of those that had washed ashore with him. The long sleeves of his thick robe concealed his manacles which he still wore around his wrists. Not shackled, but free as he now was.

 Mali:
Mali smiled as the soft breeze moved the folds of his cloth. The sea air was now so far away, Mali wondered silently if he truly missed it. Hearing Braren's tale Mali decided to weigh in. " I can't top that. I know little other than the ship. Before our fateful voyage there was another ship where I served. No, slaved. I do not know what I plan. I think I would like to see what this world has to share, to see. "

 Spoiler
An avocado as a colour guide to Mali. I was thinking of the inside colour not the skin.

Riddick Raising A Stray Canid From Pup To Furyan’s Ally Is Perhaps The Very Last Thing You’d Expect From A Personality With A Lot Of Notches On His Knives Than Freddy Krueger, However It Establishes The Film Tonally As A Refreshfully Completely Different Beast From Its Forebears.

 You are a member of a relatively new cell of Inquisitorial Acolytes. Your master,  Inquisitor Vasquez , has an allegedly important task for you:

Several months ago,  Archbishop Zedikiah , one of the most important figures in the Ecclesiarchy in the  Askellon Sector , passed away. This, admittedly tragic, event would have ended up with yet another old priest's name added onto an endless list of righteous, if uninspiring, dead.

However, several weeks later, after the mandated prayer for the deceased had passed, those of rank within the Adeptus Ministorum allowed his successor to take office. Those saddled with the onerous task of clearing his offices found an alarming note. One of those servants happened to be an Inquisitorial agent in the service of Inquisitor Vasquez, and passed on word...

Apparently there had been a request for a formal Inquisitorial investigation of a planet named  Novabella , made by one  Harvester-Prelate Felissimo , some  twenty-five years ago .

According to a check with the Adeptus Administratum, there has been no contact with Novabella for twenty years. It isn't clear why there have been no vessels visiting Novabella to collect the tithe in this time, or why the planet has been ignored.

Your cell now stands aboard the  His Enduring Light , an Imperial Navy Destroyer that was due to patrol nearby areas, and has been redirected to allow you access to the planet...

---

You have spent almost two weeks aboard  His Enduring Light , doing whatever you deemed necessary in preparation for the mission. The Captain, much to his dismay, has been informed that he will have to be able to remain in contact with you, for your eventual extraction after the mission, as he patrols the system.

You have, of course, been given a copy of the letter which sparked off the whole investigation...

The Letter:

 Spoiler

To My Most August Archbishop Zedikiah:

I can only beseech your lordship for aid, as I am surrounded with souls bereft of the Harvest-Emperor’s spirit. None can be trusted, for I cannot be certain who remains loyal and who has fallen.

Foul things are stirring underneath the placid spirits of my people. Their smiles are false, and I know their hearts have become corrupted. Our world lives to provide its bounty to others, and should its offerings become tainted so would countless souls fall from the Emperor’s Grace.

I have served you and my world for many years, and know my people. My lord, you must trust me when I say action is needed immediately. Only sanctified forces from your own orders can prevent the spread of that which I dare not name, even under encryption to our Astropath, for even he I grow suspicious of. Darkness is growing ever greater around
me. These are not the ramblings of the paranoid, these are the warnings of the vigilant against the Dark Forces we strive against each day.

Heed them and save my planet, I beg you. Novabella is a good world and deserving of the Emperor’s protection, and I eagerly await His forces to come to our side.

Yours in Devotion to the Harvest-Emperor,

Ezzarth Fellissimo

Harvest-Prelate

 Saska Ne Can Wiyo is mooching around, trying to bum a lho stick off of one of you. She seems bored, nervous.

She is lithe, muscular woman with reddish-brown skin, garbed in rough travelling leathers and a thick woven cloak. The sanctioning brand that has been surgically grafted to her right scapula is concealed under the cloak, but you can tell it's there by the way she tugs at it occasionally or massages that shoulder, struggling in vain to relieve the pressure it apparently puts on the muscle there.

She snuggles into her cloak, feeling cold, or maybe just nervous aboard the confines of the destroyer's narrow corridors. She's confided in her teammates about her sense of confusion and fear at being trapped inside a metal contrivance, surrounded by what she can only understand as an airless, lifeless sucking void that constantly seeks to claim those within.

She gestures to the letter she was rereading.  "Strange. The old shaman, Zedikiah, he reads this request for help from one of his own holy men. Five years later, he make the world  disappear . No tithe collected, his shamans that know never to speak of it again while he still live. But he leaves no note? Nothing to say, 'this world bad, very bad, do not land here?'"

 Doctor Craine is sat at a table cleaning his medical kit. A cloth soaked in antiseptic is being carefully ran over the scalpels, bone saw and clamps. The sealed packaging on the bandages were checked for tears, rips and holes before being returned. It was clear from Draco's face he was bored. No sense of great duty or diligence led him to this task merely the fact he had field striped his lasgun times beyond counting now.

When Saska came mooching round he was glad of a distraction. He fished out a pair of lho sticks passing one to her. He lit her's with a rough match before lighting his own. The glowing stick flared as he took a deep draw.

Draco Craine was an average example of humanity. Rough stubble adorned his chin and his blonde hair was cropped short in standard guard regulations, though he no longer was bound to them. He was standard height, standard build with dull grey eyes and lacking any visible defining marks. He sat at the table, in his combat fatigues. His bare arms capped in blue medical gloves.

" Whatever heresy is down there has had twenty years to fester. The rot will have set strongly amid the populace. No communication either, we could be landing into a throng of rebels, rejecting the emperor and the Imperium. If that is the case I think this vessel shall be the sword we use. Otherwise it's the scalpel, us. We must determine how deep this threat is, whether the planet can be saved. "

 Johonas Dresde is simply pacing, somewhat hunched under the weight of his twin mechadendrites, his servo-skull minion floating by his side. His cane clicks on the floor, matching the irregular sounds of his steel-tipped bots clanking as he stops and starts at seemingly random intervals. As usual, he is lost in thought, his brain concocting a thousand and one wild and varied theories as to what might be the source of the issue.   Perhaps it is simply another one of the Adminstratum's inane bureaucratic mixups. Petty fools. Or perhaps the taint of the daemon has come to Novabella. Perhaps,   he thinks, almost excitedly,  xenos  are there.   His manipulator mechandrite clicks and clanks its claw involuntarily above his head, responding to the surge of excitement Johonas feels at the idea of getting to examine genuine xenos tech in the field.

Johonas is not atypical for a low-ranked techpriest of his age. His skin has an unhealthy-looking pallor to it: a result of decades with almost no sunlight. His face is still human, lacking the emotionless cybernetics of his more advanced colleagues. His eyes are grey, his hair a pale shade of blond, his features plain and clean-shaven. Still, no one could possibly mistake him for anything but what he is - the enormous claw apparatus and smoother mechanical tentacle terminating in a small point jutting from his back see to that.

Johonas is shaken from his mental drooling at the prospects of xenos tech by his companions' voices. Truth be told, he had nearly forgotten they were there, or that he had a mission he was supposed to accomplish in the first place. He recovers quickly.  "I suspect that whatever we find at Novebella will lead us to some sort of conspiracy among the ranking members of the Ecclesiarchy, and possibly elsewhere. The evidence is just too bizarre to suggest otherwise."

[User]
 Draco attempts to feign some indignation at the suggestion of a conspiracy, but he can't deny to himself that similar thoughts had crossed his mind mere moments ago.

" A conspiracy amongst the Emperor's servants. Surely not, perhaps you forget Fellissimo who sent the letter was a true servant of the Emperor. I don't know what has occurred or is occurring on that planet in the hearts of lesser men, but to suggest a conspiracy within the Ecclesiarchy. Preposterous. "

He shakes his head, causing ash to shake free from his lho stick.

 Two hours after the briefing Simona was at the main gate. The last time she was waiting here looked so far. So many things have happened in the meantime.
 "Time"  she whispered.  "We don't have much time left."  She took a look at her hands, they were starting to show signs of old age. Her fur was getting harder to trim. Here eyes were starting to betray her. Her movements were getting slower, and she lost all of her grace. She started thinking of the path that was in front of her, this was probably her last mission.
 "I hope they are the one's."  She whispers, lost in her thoughts.

Looking rather prim and proper for a force of terror in her new armor, Veronica was first to arrive at the gate. She came to attention before Simona with a practiced salute of tested veteran. Her concerns about being late to the gate was no longer an issue.

As Veronica looked around, the realization of the absence of her teammates was unsettling. As fun as it would be to do this mission herself, odds are that the rival academy would be sending out some of its better students. Her mind drifted into the future as she stood their waiting.

[User] The clanking noise of his automaton precedes him as Mod rides up to the gate in style. He perks up when he sees Simona and Veronica, and he hops to his feet. He stamps his foot twice on the topside of Stalker 00, who immediately halts. Mod snaps a quick salute to Simona,  "Engineer Mod, reporting for duty, kupo!"

 After a few minutes, you can spy the diminutive stature of Huckle racing towards the gate in the distance. Finally, he arrives at the gate, sweating and panting heavily.
 "Suh, suh, Sorry I'm, >gasp<, late! Huh, Huckle is here! >wheeze<!"

Huckle sits down, catching his breath. Eyeing Mod's automaton, Huckle thinks to himself;
  I don't care how safe Mod says that thing is- there's no way I'm riding it!

[User] Mod smiles and waves when Huckle comes up.  "Where's Arianna?"  he asks, once Huckle has had a chance to catch his breath.
