Quote: As your hand rests upon the green pillar, you feel something pull at you. Your surroundings grow dark as you are pulled elsewhere. You feel something moving beneath you. The air is pleasant and warm, complete with a brisk chill. Before you can open your eyes you feel something heavy clap your shoulder. With a jolt you awaken, blinking and squinting at the bright light you find yourself facing. Loud laughter erupts from around you as the weight lifts from your shoulder, only to reappear as a quick slap on your back. "Haha! Fell asleep there, eh?" The hand belongs to someone made out of shadows smiling widely at you. They are riding upon a shadowy creature. You notice that you are on a similar beast. Another beast and rider pulls up next to you on the other side. "Come on, it's not that far now. We'll be able to get this all sorted out soon." They nod forward, "See? It's already in sight." You can make out a building in front of you. The building is decorated with figures that have been worn down by the passing of time, leaving them open to interpretation. The building itself looks as if it was carved out of the cliff-side it was built into. Or was it built against it? It's difficult to tell from here. As you look around, you notice you are surrounded by a group of seven shadow-people, each one mounted upon a shadow beast. There is a sense of familiarity about them, then the memory teases itself free: all of you set out together, each unified in a single goal. There is something here, something that is hidden at the end of the map. Didn't you pay a pretty penny for that map? Or did you steal it? It's... it's a bit unclear, and hurts to think too much upon. Your thoughts are shattered as a shout reverberates throughout the area. A dark arrow hisses out of the surroundings, lodging itself into the throat of the shadow-person beside you. You watch helplessly as they fall off their beast with a gurgle, clutching at their throat. "Take cover!" It didn't matter who shouted it; whether it was you or one of your six remaining companions, you now have something else to worry about.

"Something about a desert and a horse with no name," Evan hummed distractedly as their party rode ever-closer to the opening in the rock. He wasn't sure why he was out there or how he had gotten on a horse without realizing it, only that it was what it was, and so far everything seemed okay.
The tranquility is shattered when one of their companions shouts and suddenly falls off of their horse, apparently struck dead by an arrow shot by someone he couldn't see. That didn't matter much now, anyway. The entrance was close, and taking cover was a good idea. He encouraged his horse out of its lazy movement and made for the safety of the cave.

Feng's mind was having trouble rebooting and processing all the information it was being given. He looked around at the beasts the friendly faces, the thing underneath him, and had no idea what was happening. He opened his mouth to ask what the hell was happening, but then there was a whir.
He glanced around, and then he heard something stick into a nearby beast and turned to watch it gurgle as a shadowy arrow stuck out of it's throat. He grimaced and gagged but somehow managed to turn his beast and run for cover as the shouts ran out around him.

Chel ducked beside Evan. He was one of the ones she remembered. Sun division bros, that's what they were. "What the ********, who's firing at us?" she whispered urgently, trying to keep her voice down, but at the same time trying to express her inner annoyance.
She looked to Evan. He was her senpai superior. He would know what to do. "What's the plan?"

"I don't really want to stick around to find out," Evan replied to the pink-haired girl, waiting to make sure that she and the other guy and their shadowy companions made it safely behind cover before cautiously raising his head to peer out into the valley. "But if I had to guess, it was probably that guy," he continued, pointing at the knight lumbering aimlessly, looking around, waiting for them to betray their position. There didn't seem to be anyone else around, and there were a hell of a lot more of them than there were of the knight. "I think we can take it," Evan decided, standing and striding boldly towards the pile of clanking armor.

The knight spotted Evan and readied itself for battle. It probably wasn't ready for Evan to smack the crap out of it with his shiny new sword, though.

"Wait...!" Feng hissed quietly. "Wait don't..!"But it was too late, and the other man was already attacking. Sighing, Feng ran after him and helped out. He didn't really see another choice.

With one last, solid hit, the knight seemed to fall apart in a noisy clatter of armor. Once the dust cleared, Evan cautiously poked at the empty helmet with the end of his sword, just in case. "Think we're good here," he said when nothing happened.

That... had been fast? Feng stood kind of dumbfounded, weapon still up. Why was he even here? This other guy had this covered.
Not that Feng didn't want the loot. He definitely wanted that, and he took it.

Evan poked through the remains of the knight until he found a shiny object. "Inside, I guess," he said to the pink-haired girl, following the shadowy figures accompanying them through the hole in the stone. One of them got a little too far ahead of the group as they filed through a narrow hallway, and over the sudden roar of machines whirring to life, a scream could be heard. Evan winced as one of the shadows tripped some traps up ahead and watched as he was impaled by spears coming out of the floor, shot with arrows hidden in the wall, and, finally, decapitated by an axe that swung down from the ceiling.

Chel looked at the tiles. This was some real Indiana Jones s**t, yes it was.
Then she looked back to the shadows. "Sorry dude. One of us has to take it, and I am considerably less blobby than you." She shoved the shadowy figure into the tiles, causing literally every trap to go off at once.
When it had cleared, she stepped over the remains, safe as ever. The shadows were considerably more afraid of her though. Not that that was a bad thing.

Now THIS was her kind of fight. Chel gave a sort of half grin, pulling out her sword. "Oh hell yeah."
