[[Week Two :: Day One]]
The Toxic CaveSometimes you just end up in places not really… good for scaring. Or just not good for one’s health. Which oddly enough, can be a toxic cave filled with noxious gas. Sent down an elevator, students wait at the bottom as they are sealed in. Even those who can fly find they must go down…to get back up. Several outposts exist in the cavern to make sure that no one ends up dead, horsemen having taken a certain mixture that allows them temporary immunity. A clank and a light purple gas starts to fill the room. The test has begun, so students better start to run!Quote: Rules: -Running out of HP means game over, regardless of any saves you might have -If your student falls into two or more of the automatic HP reductions, please only apply one! You may ignore the others. -If you use a save start at the place you left off Stage 1 RNG 1-3 in your FIRST post. Subtract one to see how many lives you have. (IE get a 2, subtract 1 you have 1 save) Stage 2 Running, the hall ends in a pit. You need to descend into the thick of the poison haze to go further. But- it’s hard to see where it might be safe. Thick ropes hang from the ceiling and rocks just from the sides. Roll 1 d4 to advance! 1- You grab the rope and slide your way down but ouch! Rope burn! -5 HP 2- You try to go down the walls… and make it! Better move though the gas is thick down here! 3- You jump down… not the best idea. -10 HP 4- You try the walls but miss a step, falling you end up knocked out (Fail) If your a student that can fly/has wings in any form, you take an automatic -5 HP Stage 3 Running down yet another hall, you have to dive into a pool of dark water and swim through a tunnel. Roll 1 d6 to see what happens. 1- You manage to swim quickly and reach the other side just in time! 2- Fish bones dig into you, slowing you down and making you swallow some water! -10 HP 3- Weird. It feels like- Uh oh. You somehow managed to end up at a dead end. No time- you fall back and the gas overtakes you(Fail) 4- Something brushes past your body but lucky enough, you make it to the other side. 5- You try swimming up too soon and bump your head! -5 HP 6- Something bit you, but you can’t tell what, -5 HP If your student is aquatic, or fire based -5 HP automatically Stage 4 The path seems to be getting smaller, looks like you’ll have to crawl you way out but- which path do you take? Roll 1 d8. 1 and 3- You run into a spider who bites you for a nasty sting! -10 HP 2 and 4- You end up taking a wrong turn and hit your head! -10 HP 5 and 7- You managed it somehow to crawl you way to the next room, which has yet to be filled with that gas 6 and 8- You get lost and get…sleepy… (fail!) If your natural form is bigger than that of an average dog, take -5 HP Stage 5 The last part of the tunnel! You can see light at the end but- It seems that in order to get there, you’ll have to beat the doors that are closing, trying to trap you in the poison caverns! Just as you make it to the end- the door slams down, leaving you stuck. You’ll have to break your way through! Roll to attack! For each miss -10 HP, you may keep going until you break free or pass out. You only need to hit the door once. For year 3, you must subtract 8 versus the normal 6! It seems the horsemen expect a bit more from you. POINTS DISTRIBUTION [ Horsemen Points Distribution: ] (Select only one option based on your results) TO OBTAIN 1 HORSEMEN POINT: You get to stage 1 or 2 of the cave TO OBTAIN 2 HORSEMEN POINTS: You get to stage 3 or 4 of the cave TO OBTAIN 3 HORSEMEN POINTS: You get to stage 5 or PASS the cave

How did she even get here? She had followed after a certain Puca and suddenly they had descended down to the training fields. This did not look like a training of any sort and the rabbit huddled closely to the horse as they both stared questioningly into the maw of the cave. Mea did her best to mask her uneasiness but it came out into her ears and they dropped against her head in fear.
Taking a deep swallow of air she tugged at Fallow and moved towards the opening with wide, searching eyes. With a single wave she motioned him but was sure his focus was elsewhere. Reaching inside she took a sniff of the air and turned back with a small gag.
Building up her courage she stared back.
"Here goes nothing."

With a running start Mea plunged into the darkness of the cave in a frenzy. Toxic. Vile. Deadly. Her heart was nearly pounding into her chest while the scent of impending trouble hung heavy in her nose. Even this soon in there was no place to go but forward and she hurried along to the best of her ability. Clenching her teeth as she ran she could feel her lungs moving steadily, which in the case of the poison was not helpful in the least bit. Any attempts to slow her feet were met with indifference as she continued on, sliding to a stop over a pit.
There was little time to think and she stared questioningly at the purple haze rising from the depths of the pit. Scanning the wall she began to see a rock pattern as it moved down along the side. With a confident nod she jumped towards it and grabbed hold tightly.
Attempting not to look down was easier said than done as the Mouryou descended deeper and deeper into the pit. Keeping her breaths controlled to small bursts she felt herself cough only a few times over the gas and was glad once she hit the ground safely. Staring upward she tilted her head curiously, before shaking it and moving along quickly.
It had suddenly gotten hazier.

While she rounded away from the gas she hesitated as the hall of the cave seemed to grow wider and a vast amount of black lay before it. Stopping before her toes were in she took in a deep breath, staring in wonder at the cool blackened pool. At her back were the incoming fumes of poison which made her squeak and jump forward.
The instant sensation made her cringe and she waded gently against the water, further into the darkness of the cave. She was not a particularly strong swimmer and paddled along slowly, taking in deep breaths of air as she went along her way. Steady, steady. She repeated in her head while her body moved under the tunnel entrance.
It was sudden and painful and she squealed, grabbing hold of her hand. Something had bitten her and with enough power to draw blood. It was just the squeal she needed to drive herself forward, but the pain remained and she grabbed a hold of her hand with a growl, pressing ti down with her other hand.
She had no desire to find what had done it and set off again, though far less enthusiastically. What else was lurking in here?

Was it her imagination or was the path getting more narrow? Mea couldn't help but squish down as far as she could but she still felt too large and barely budged through the opening. It felt like being compacted by a large machine. Grunting she managed to finally pull herself through to a set of narrow passages moving each and every direction.
Starting with her closest she began to crawl, keeping her tail and ears down against her body. There was little to be done here, she had to continue along the best she could. Barely making any time she began to panic slightly, feeling the choke of death coming from behind she continued, but before she could go any further she knocked her head into the side of stone really hard and let out a shriek of pain.
Things were just not going her way today, but she eventually managed to move along through, though with a now throbbing headache. Near dizziness she continued with a bit of a limp. The end was now in her sight, if only she could reach it.

[ WEEK TWO, DAY ONE : TOXIC CAVE ] He wasn't quite sure how he'd gotten here, and he was pretty sure he'd just seen Mea trying to navigate her way around somewhere ahead of him as well.
Fallow frowned. Well. It seemed the only out was down anyways, and hey, who said toxic caves couldn't be fun once in awhile too? The Púca brightened considerably at this idea and began his trek through the dark crevices of the cave, his neon bright markings acting as a sort of improvised flashlight to ward away the dark. Coughing once in awhile, Fallow finally came to a pit that seemed to be in need of navigation for him to proceed. Great. Going down.
Fallow took a step back and started towards the edge with the idea to jump.
Three!
Two!
On - WAIT!
Fallow skidded to a stop with a scream, turning himself over and falling on the hard rubble an inch from the drop. Memories of the cavern in Conquest from before rose to mind, and Fallow groaned, thumping his tail in irritation.
He would not let those snot-nosed little cretins get in the way of his training!
The Púca picked himself up and grumbled.
Time for try number two.

The next time, he decided to simply get to the edge and jump.
It wasn't the smartest plan, and Fallow howled in pain when he landed hard on his a** and rolled over, puffing out shallow breaths of air as his back and butt began to throb painfully. There would definitely be a bruise there tomorrow. Fallow thanked the gods for his dark skin, neon markings pulsing erratically as he jumped to his feet, groaning in response to the pain.
"Well," He rumbled scathingly, "I suppose this is all part of being in War."
Stumbling, the Púca continued on.

Sprinting through the toxic cave, Fallow yelled in glee and pain at the same time, enjoying the feel of his legs moving and his entire body aching in what he could only consider a good way once he'd gotten over his little fall. Of course, this all came to a stuttering stop when he spotted a dark body of water a little to late and screamed, not stopping quick enough not to fall in.
The splash resonated, and surfacing Fallow spat up water and coughed. Floating uncertainly for a moment, the Púca glanced around, and with a look of dejection realized that he'd have to get into the pool whether he wanted to or not if he was going to escape. Rumbling in dissatisfaction and slight fear, the monster sucked in all of his breath and dived, swimming and kicking and paddling his way through the underwater tunnel fast as he could.
He only just barely reached the other side in time, sputtering and coughing as he broke the surface and scrambled out of the water and onto the rocks.
"Uck. Ew. Ugh."

Smaller and smaller and smaller it went, until ---
"AHHHHHH!"
Until Fallow had enough and started yelling frustration.
The Púca had never been known for his eloquence, after all.
Stumbling to the end of the path, Fallow wiggled through the small crawlspace, yanking and scrabbling and scratching at the walls and floor with his hands in an attempt to get through. And finally, he did, and puffed out tired breaths. Pain laced up his side though, and looking down, Fallow realized he'd sliced open a part of his abdomen on his frantic way through.
Ow, ow, ow!

The door was in front of her, it was the home stretch! Mea gleefully jumped ahead towards it with spring in her step. To be nearly out of such a place gave her hope, gave her promise, gave her--
She suddenly fell, tripping over a rock and blinked, staring at the door she had just attempted to attack open. It had obviously failed and she moved back to take another running leap.
"I can take you." She muttered.

Once getting up she could see the door shut tightly and it unnerved her. Pain was shooting through her and she attempted yet again to attack the door with more force this time. There was little in the way of strength that she had left, however, and Alamea began to falter before she even reached the doorway.
Cough.
Hack.
Her eyes grew dreary and she began to phase out, hitting a rock nearby with a fist as she nearly careened into another. Breathing had picked up into slow, panicked breaths and she blinked against the weariness. It was a warm sort of fuzziness, lighting down over her gently
And then Mea was out like a light, laying down where she had stopped, hands outreached towards the door. Clearly, caves were not her thing.

Of course. Doors. Doors.
Fallow stared with scathing hatred at the things that had shut him in and away from freedom. Rumbling, the Púca tossed his torn up jacket to the ground and formed a fist, deciding that there was no way to go back. He had to go forward, and this door was going down!
... Or maybe he was fist was instead.
"Augh!"
Fallow fell back and shook his hand, blowing on the now scraped and bloody knuckles. Why had he done that?
Use your brain, a strict and irritable part of his brain said, be smart for once.
Fallow dropped himself to the floor and stared at the door in hard concentration.
Maybe it would break under his iron will.
But not really.
