Though Miasma still clung to the tower, it was clearly ruined, its floors precarious and its walls and pillars crumbling. It was anyone's guess how long it would be before the whole structure came tumbling down, whatever was still in it lost forever, goods, information, or fading Miasma.
It was different. Jordan had lived in the blue kingdom all his life. Though it had obviously been beautiful, the tower seemed oddly primitive. There was no advanced technology in evidence, nothing obviously electrical, no lights, no elevators. Only the ruined rooms and the precarious stairways. "Careful," he said to Ferros.
"I know," the bigger man replied, subdued. "Watch your step."
"I know."

Higher and higher Kiwi climbed. His steps began to slow, as the footholds became increasingly narrow and occasionally a stray bit of debris would fall, bonking him across the head. Much to his displeasure.
He arrived on the next landing to find yet another mysterious message scrawled into the stone. He stared to the words a moment, considering them carefully before making his way to the next door. Something dark and shadowy seemed to shift and move just beyond the door way. Without hesitation, Kiwi struck his fan out defensively. His attack however, was too weak to do any significant damage, which was when he recognized the figure to be Shaheen. Relief flooded him.
"Glad to see a friendly face," he smiled, giving a polite and proud nod of his head in passing.

1) The tower is tall, and creates suspicion and paranoia. You see a shadow leaping at you, and in a fit of fear you attack them. It is your ally. You do damage equal to your RANK's melee dice (ie: if you are a Queen you do 2d12 - 4 damage, ouch!) If you are the only player from your Kingdom here, you do this damage to yourself. 9) You spot an odd rusted key. It actually seems extremely out of place in the staircase you are standing on.

Kiwi of Gold
Kiwi's HP: 28/40 Special Event Attacking: Shaheen Damage: 0 Rank: Pawn Current Floor: 6-10 Miasma Collected: 2 Character Kingdom: Gold Character's Miasma Colour: Gold Character description:
- He is a lanky citizen clothed in robes of black, layered over with simple red and gold embossed cloth. His brown hair is done up into a slightly loose and messy bun, held together with hairpins and adorned with giant red spider lilies and golden chains that dangle and loop down. Any jewelry he wears is also made of solid gold, matching his naturally golden eyes, which he is secretly quite proud of. And if one were to glimpse his bare back, they would find the crimson stain of wings etched across his skin.

[[ the fool is entering ]]
The Fool stared up at the ruins of the tower, her shadows flaring into pointed edges at the corners. Balthazar pressed close to her leg, a dead cold against her skin, and she laid a hand against his dark fur. This place unsettled her, down in the shadows of her heart, but she was accustomed to that. To the wrongness.
So in she went, step after step, the narrow corridors and tall ceilings doing little to convince her this was less than a jester's trap.
3) You feel a glimmer in the air: it seems like someone has left a valuable artifact here! You pick up +2 Miasma Points

It was strange, stepping through the portal into what remained of the silver kingdom. For one, the cultural differences between the two kingdoms was astounding. Blue kingdom was all glitz and glam, modern and high-tech. It was strange, stepping into this world, when you were used to looking at diamonds and Ferraris and cell phones. For another, it was eerily quiet, such a drastic change from the pulsing music and loud, raucous laughter of the soiree in the Blue Kingdom. At first, Nuk thought he had somehow lost his hearing, the ringing in his ears almost deafening as he got used to all this silence. It made him cringe a little, tilting his head like a wounded animal and sliding his eyes shut with a grimace. But no, when he took a step forward he could hear that step, gravel crackling under his shoes.
It was just...
abandoned.
Nuk kept his eyes straight ahead, warily, not bothering to glance back at Sammy.
"C'mon."

"One is less than five," Taima murmured, her fingers tracing over the words etched into the staircase. Accurate, but cryptic in its own right if only for the question of its purpose. Taima smiled to herself as she ascended, brushing off the debris that fell on her on the way up. She liked this place, she decided, bending down to scoop up a bit of miasma. It appealed to her sense of adventure, her love of the unknown and undiscovered--and she did enjoy a good mystery.

Appearance: Taima is short and slender, almost waifish. She has long black hair, worn loose, and is wearing a simple black dress and flats.
There was a glimmer, a slight wavering in the air that made Elliot stop. He didn't see anything around him except for debris and stairs (and stairs and more stairs) but he knew something was here. It was faint, but Elliot followed it. He was getting closer, the feeling in the air was getting heavier.
All a sudden, a shower of debris showered down on him, but he managed to gather some extra miasma.

When she cleared the other side of the portal she snapped Ixxy into place scanning the whole area. Dead, empty, and vacant, nothing seemed to be alive here anymore and it very much explained the influx of Silver Kingdom recruits. Nuk was disturbed by the silence but Sammy found it oddly appealing.
She had been awake so long, so often, sleep barely came to her when she tried, and only did when she usually drugged or drank herself to a blackout. Even then she was quickly awakened by the sounds of the world.
"Don't have to tell me twice," she muttered before following behind Nuk gun at the ready as they crept towards the ruined tower.

His rest taken and his body refreshed, Lex began to make the grueling ascent of the next floors. The stairs were even more treacherous than before, and looked as though they would crumble with the wrong footing.
Sometimes, a metal clad warrior shouldn't step on wary staircases. This was one of those times. Too much pressure was applied on a step, and it became dust. He couldn't even grab onto a stair before he fell some twenty stories, hitting the ground and turning to thick green smoke.

What was infinity? The etching asked, and then Lan groaned. It really was a riddle. The silver king really did make a damn riddle to protect his treasure or whatever. Rubbing her temples she thought back to what she'd encountered on the stairs. A broken mirror showed her reflection as she thoughts back to the warning.
She also thought of Fini... and as lovely as she was, it was unlikely that she was the answer.
Still, she was the bishop, sent to gather miasma for the good of her kingdom.
Bishop. King... Her mind counted them out. King, Queen, Knight, Bishop, Rook.
Five members of the court served the king. The King was one being. The king served his people, the people served him. The people were the kingdom itself. They made it a kingdom. That was a possible answer but.. the numbers...
One was less than five five was less than infinity. Thus, both one and five acted the same in relation to infinity. infinity was less than one. So, going off her previous thought five would be as well.
Multiple guesses, she went with the simplest.

As Riyo finally stepped through the portal, she rubbed her head groggily and glanced about. Well, now this was some s**t. So empty. Desolate. Surreal.
Maybe she should've ordered a drink to go. Oh well, here went nothing. If she died, what did she really lose?

They continued forward, trying avoid what they could as things seemed to fall all around them. The air started to feel rather cold as Kasi started to shiver. She hated this place, everything about it was dull and well rather unpretty if you asked her opinion.
Just then something had moved, no it hadn't just moved it was still moving, she screamed and swung hitting Matt across the cheek.
Realizing that it was nothing more than the tricks of the tower looming around she gasped bringing her hands to her lips.
"Matt I"m so sorry..." She replied with concern in her voice as she tried to stretch her hands out to rub it.
He glared and turned his back to her.

[[Entering from White Kingdom]] ((rolling for special events)) Mitsu wasn't sure what to expect when she entered the silver kingdom considering the news of its collapse. Maybe just piles of rubble and debris but when she arrived it looked simply abandoned. No one in sight but things appeared mostly intact. What had happened?
Not lingering in one place too long she made her way to the tower which was the destination on her PDA. At least it was hard to miss being the biggest thing here. Her eyes curiously took in the ground floor wondering what she would find, her nose sniffing for anything strange. It was when she looked down that she saw the message or...something on the floor. What did it mean?
