Lex gave a chuckle, waving his hand like it was no big deal. Adventures, failure, underwater prisons, that sort of thing was appealing to him now. Anything to get him off a chair and into action. "Ah, yes, Nevada can be clingy. A small and fast wink, and Lex walked over to be by the two, looking at the computer.

"What, exactly, are we looking for? Artifacts of the Gods? That sounds a little sacrilegious." A pause, and then a chuckle. "Of course, this whole monsters and magic and demons and zombies thing can be looked at that way." He clapped Ro and Nevada on the shoulder, smiling still.

"Where do we begin?"

She chuckled in response to clingy, "I like a good warm body..." before tapping the screen.

"It says the best way to get to the location is by camping out in a place called the weeping forest...which is in halloween world." She hummed as she said this, mostly because what she would say next would be the most important of the mission. "And we are to go in golemless. Our weapons will be the only thing keeping us safe from the FEAR levels radiating from Halloween."

Of course the humming offset the reality and seriousness of the mist trainee...she hadn't been on a real mission yet but she wasn't stupid, things like this were best left to experienced.

As a mist she HAD to be experienced.

"It'll take more than a day, and multiple trips so we don't harm ourselves or our weapons. But once we're in, we're in. And artifacts of the gods..." She clicked on the photos she had shown Roland earlier were brought up for Lex to see, "Are items we could seriously use as hunters." She yawned before looping her arms through Roland's and Lex's.

"So my handsome escorts, shall we go camping? Maybe take a little dip in the pond? Come back with a little treasure~" She winked as she headed out, "Roland has mentioned that he needs to get some supplies so if you need too as well Lex, feel free. I can meet you both at the Lighthouse after I tell them where we need to drop~"

There was a light bounce in her step as she walked out, Already intent on the lighthouse no matter what they said.

"Really? Never would have guessed Lex." He did after all have Nevada hanging off him but a moment ago. He raised an eyebrow at Nevada, there was a slight emphasis on the warm body part that made him blush again. He was the perfect heating unit for her wasn't he?

"So we go in with our weapons and we camp out. Not too big of a deal but if it's multiple trips this could take a while." He turned to Lex again, "I was never um, religious, but these aren't like Christian Comendment tablets, this is like old God stuff, Titans even. Some of the monsters, they look like greek monsters, what if the things we called gods where just very powerful monsters back before we ever existed?" He shrugged, "They would have had a lot of powerful things, things maybe like our weapons, useful things."

Shrugging again he moved off towards the labs, "I'll be picking up a few things. I'll see you both at the light house yeah." And with that he left.

----

On his his arrival at the light house Ro was carrying a bag over his shoulder, stuffed with supplies for camping, nothing complex, just some food and fire making supplies along with a simple tarp tent encase they stayed long enough to justify setting up a real camp. What was important was the holster along his chest filled with a set of runic daggers. He was kind of excited to try them, and he didn't know if a barrier would be handy during the trip, if anything it could keep the monsters away.

"Everyone ready then?"

Giving both of them a small smile, Lex rolled his shoulders and neck. Messing with artifacts that belonged to beasts that were, at some point, so powerful as to be considered artifacts? Not something the man had ever really imagined happening - but it didn't mean that Lex wasn't willing to do it. Hunters really could use something like this, giving them the upper hand.

<< You're going on a treasure hunt? Really? That's surprisingly a good idea, Whelp. >>

A roll of his eyes, but Lex nodded as Nevada and Roland both left to get ready. He gave his books a look, chuckled, and carted them off to his room to get ready. Ami would decimate him if he'd left the books out.

Funny how a big man could be intimidated by a midget.

--

Approaching the lighthouse with a bag of mostly extra clothing and granola bars, Lex gave a hearty wave to the other two explorers. "Hey there! Ready to do this?"

Nevada was leaning on the portal with a wary look at what her comrades had brought. Happy with just how efficient and tidy the boys were, the mist huntress wrapped her arms through both of theirs and tugged gently.

"To the weeping forest we go..." She chimed before pulling them into the light house with her.

the portal would drop them off in the middle of the weeping forest, tree's surrounding them as she felt the strain on her shield from the sheer amount of FEAR energy surrounding them.

"Oh~ This is what Halloween world looks like does it?" A strange glint darkened her eyes as she peered around. "I wonder what we should be looking for again~ Another portal?"

"Before you look for anything we set up a safe zone." As soon as they cleared the portal he started to place his gear in the middle of a small clearing in the weeping woods as trees twisted and loomed above. Just as soon as his gear was down he was pulling daggers from his set planting them in the dirt before dropping a middle dagger in the center of the camp triggering a blue wall of crackling light, he paused for a moment to admire his work.

"Wicked," he mumbled before looking to the other two hunters. "We need to look for the portal yes, but if we need to rest, or something goes wrong we get here. These daggers create a barrier to protect us hunters and keep... uh everything else out."

Whatever everything else was exactly was beyond him.

"With that in mind stay close and start looking." Moving through the barrier he started into the woods, working in a small circle around the camp he kept his eyes open, Sylvia summoned into his grasp resting wearily on his shoulder. For once she didn't say much just as tense as he was. The next thing he knew Roland seemed to be looking through a window, right into the home of someone showering. Yes a bathroom Roland, with a naked female. He stumbled away quickly popping back into the camp red in the cheeks. "T-th-that portal. There was. A girl. Naked. And. Nope. Wrong one, really wrong one."

He tried not to recall that the 'girl' had an extra pair of arms and was rinsing something along the lines of blood from her pale skin.

The Underwater Labyrinth: Quest


Underwater Labyrinth:

Requirements: You will need to PRP "researching" up this area (again a prp with your characters just discovering this information in a book is fine), before heading off on this quest. One person will need to be the dungeon master of this quest line: you can have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 characters in this quest. Due to not taking forever, the "Dungeon Master" has control of the pacing: even if not everyone replies, it is okay to go the next round as long as it makes sense from the Dungeon Master's POV.

Historical IC background: The Underwater Labyrinth itself is submerged underwater in the Human World, close to Halloween. It was once a prison where they kept the most terrible of the Ancient Gods, ones who called themselves Titans. Signs of their power can even be seen below, from the blasted dank stone walls to the strange inscriptions and runes that litter each doorway and cell. While the labyrinth inside is dank, it is thankfully void of water.

The Underwater Labyrinth portals randomly spawn to the area but they are very much by chance. The highest chance of portals spawning to that exact location is by parking yourself in the Weeping Forest.

gaia_crown [ Getting Started: ]

Getting into the Underwater Labyrinth:
- You need to camp out in the Weeping Forest after reading the information. Hunters can enter Halloween as well without a golem (recommended as the Labyrinth itself is very golem unfriendly due to its climate and high altitude as well as natural enemies), for a max of 30 minutes. Each roll takes 5 IC minutes - students can pretty much park here as long as they need as well as horsemen while Hunters will need to exit and enter back again.
- Basically, all Hunter characters have 6 chances to find the portal. If they don't find it, they will need to leave and come back. Students and Horsemen do not need to ICly leave and come back.
- All players roll 1d100.
- Rolling 50 or less will let players find a portal that randomly leads to someone's house. Feel free to RP this as you please as awkwardly as you please
- Rolling 70 or less will let players find a portal that leads to the Land of Holidays. Right now is really not the time for Xmas cheer...and the creatures there seem extremely hostile
- Rolling 80 or less will lead you to the Haunted House.
- Rolling 81 or higher will let you find the portal! Success! You can now proceed inside.

gaia_crown [ Setting and Rules: ]

The center of the labyrinth is extremely hard to navigate through, full of twists, turns and dead ends. This is where the Dungeon Master comes to play. The Dungeon Master will create a new thread. Now, they will roll stats for this expedition team:
- Roll 2 20-sided dice for each player. List the players ie: 1. Player 1, 2: player 2, etc. Just roll all the dice at once. This is the number of rounds they can take for each player. Also include your own character. Post this stat at the very first post ie: Player 1 has 5 stamina, player 2 has 10 etc.
- Now players can begin to RP. They start at the edges of the labyrinth and move inwards towards the center. Each ACTION they take is 1 stamina point. Once they have used up all allotted stamina points they can go no further/ have to leave the area.
- If their HP turns to 0 they cannot go any further as well.
- If a character runs out of stamina or HP, they must try again from Round 1!

gaia_crown [ Round 1: ]

- All players must roll a 6 sided dice. If any player rolls a 1 or 6, you have triggered a boss! The DM will be in charge of rping and keeping track of the boss's HP. The boss has 50/ 50 HP and does 5 auto damage every time it is attacked. You can attack it unlimited times within discretion. Attacks go as normal. The boss is shadow shaped, a remnant of the old world, noone can go any further until the boss is defeated. IF NOONE rolls a 1 or 6, or you have defeated the boss, you may proceed to round 2. If two players roll a 1 or 6, you now have two bosses... congratulations.
- This initial roll does not cost stamina!

gaia_crown [ Round 2: ]

- All players must now navigate the labyrinth. Roll 1d100.
- If you roll 80 or higher you have made it to the center! You're kind of amazing you know
- If you did NOT roll 80 or higher you still need to keep on searching the area, full of traps and dead ends. You need to continue rolling until you roll 80 or higher.
- For ever time you do not roll 80 or higher (each reroll), you must subtract one of your given stamina points. If you hit 0, you cannot go any further/ you dissipate/ pass out/ are worn out.
- If you made it past this round, you can proceed to round 3:

gaia_crown [ Round 3: ]

- You must now make it past the trap bit in the center of the labyrinth, an old failsafe mechanic to keep the titans inside. This area is HIGHLY dangerous, stepping on a single wrong area can spell doom for the whole party. Traps from large snake pits to rooms full of spears and daggers litter this area.
- All players must roll 1d10. If any player rolls a 4 this is instant death/dissipation/ Fear shields are ZERO and you need to use pendant to retreat back home. Otherwise match your rolls to the results:
1: Instant death (just for you)
2: Nothing happens
3: You are stuck in a trap! Roll 1d8. Another character who has successfully PASSED this room will need to match/roll higher than you in order to rescue you! Both you and your rescuer will need to roll 1d10 in order to make it out.
4: Instant death (for everyone, game over)
5: - 25% of your remaining HP
6: Nothing happens
7: - 50% of your remaining HP
8: - 25% of your remaining HP
9: -50% of your remaining HP
10: Instant death (just for you)

- All players need to roll 3 times to make it to the next round EACH

gaia_crown [ Round 4: ]

- You finally make your way to the very epicenter, where inside, you see the glowing volcanic center of where the labyrinth is situated and several items. However, the area is very unstable. Generate a number between 1 and 13. This is the item you end up with, congratulations! This is now your item to keep! Match the correct roll of yours to the item, and read the results carefully!
- There is only one of EACH item so if you manage to claim the item in your quest, please come back to THIS THREAD to post the form below to claim that item. Make sure you also pick up its image HERE and read general instructions of use.
- Once again the max you can ever obtain period of these items per character is one status effect and one battle effect item throughout all the class C items.
- These are first come first serve that means if someone else has already posted here claiming that item, you cannot get it! Instead, you can look one number above or below the item and select that item instead. Ie: I roll a 1, but 1 is already claimed. I can look at 2 and claim that instead IF I can.
- New items, will be imported in once this list gets cleared up/ claimed almost all the way up.

"Mm, impressive." Lex said, giving Roland a friendly and appreciative smile before the younger man left. In the meantime, Lex had summoned Regal, who wasn't being a complete douche for once in their time together.

<< Whelp, this place is bad news. Even I avoided it. >>

< I thought royalty showed courage in all situation? > He thought in a snarky tone, before he saw Roland approach.

"Maybe...I'll have better luck."

He walked out of the barrier, poking around trees and brush before suddenly the lighting changed, as if he were underwater.

Which he was, he found out, by looking up.

"Um, I think I found it."

The mist huntress just smiled as Roland set up camp and then disappeared into the woods. Lex followed soon after and she sighed. Well if she had to go...she had to go.

Stepping outside of the barrier, Nevada tucked her hands in her hunter coat and started to look around...albeit horribly. Suddenly a portal swallowed her in and dropped her right on the plump couch of two teenage WoW nerds.

"Hello boys~" She waved at them, giving them a lazy smile as they stared at her like she was the new addition to the series they were currently playing before getting up. "don't tell your mom that you had a girl over okay? It'll be our little secret..." Proceeded to kiss both of them on the cheek and then dropped back into a portal to be returned to weep forest.

"Roland? Lex?~ I return from someone's houseee~"

"Lex went that way, he didn't come back but he might still be looking?" Roland shrugged helplessly at Nevada who seemed in oddly chipper spirits from her portal hunt. Maybe her house visit had been a bit more... human?

Standing up again he started towards the woods Lex had been in before calling out, "Lex? Lex! Where the hell are you? Did you fall into a portal and not come back?" Great just what he needed, to lose another hunter in a portal on the trip he was the quote on quote 'leader' of. Just as he thought that he found himself bumping into a glass wall. He was inside a display at a science museum it seemed a teacher had her back turned to him as all the small children gasped in shock at the white coated figure.

"Nononononono!" Was it against regulation to be seen like this? s**t s**t s**t s**t this was not his plan for shore leave! Stumbling backwards (and knocking over a few cavemen mannequins in the process) he fell back into the woods with a yelp.

When Roland nor Lex called back to her, she shrugged and continued her search. Perhaps both of the men had found the portal!

it would be kinda of lonely if she got stuck here by herself though. Just as the thought popped, so did another portal and Nevada went down the rabbit hole...right into Land of Holiday cheer.

Except nothing looked cheerful.

Leroy...

/Uh...I would say get out fast./

I have to agree...As she stared down the angriest looking reindeer buck she had ever seen...followed by a man eating present or something and then...Was this really the land of cheer?!?! She didn't even know.

"Bouncing!" She chimed as she hopped the next portal to weeping forest.

Well that wasn't what he expected. Could have been worse really but not too bad overall. Stumbling back into the woods again he looked around for Nevada frowning using Sylvia to knock the brush away. "Nevada? You still here? I can't find Lex!"

<< Maybe he found the right one? >>

< Hopefully? Maybe we can too? >

Instead he stepped through another unexpected window moving into what seemed to be a very large rave. He fit in rather nicely with a giant glowing scythe and crazy glowing runes. Suddenly he was being bumped left and right by other people. The portal was slipping away from him. He started to push back shoving side to side using Sylvia's less pointed end to knock people aside.

<< Nooo Roland I like it here the music is so loud and noisy! >>

"I HAVE TO GET BACK!" He shouted shoving through two more party goers, warm beer splashing his snow white coat as he let out a groan of agony.

The smell of a club and lingering beer floated around him as he wandered through the woods more. Grumbling about his luck. Half naked monsters, freaking out group of kids, ultimately ending up in a rave and beer soaking him from the shoulder down.

<< Can we go back? The last one was the best! >>

Groaning Roland shook his head spinning her down once more cutting a bush aside revealing a blue glowing light. Moving towards he stepped in dropping a few inches landing on cold wet stone beside another hunter.

"Lex?"

Nevada sighed as she came back around the camp and looked for Roland...or Lex. Both had been gone for awhile now.

"Oh...I think they may have found it..." She just finished that thought when another portal swooped her in and dropped her neatly right on to sleep over...in the college dorms it looked like.

The girls stared at her wide eyed in the midst of pillows, feathers and little undies. "ah hello. You guys know your ruining perfectly good sleeping material-" In the middle of her lecture got a slap from a pillow. A playful smile bloomed on her lips as she joined in.

It was a few minutes later (and a few article of clothing lost) that the mist huntress was back in the woods...

"I suppose I should zip this up..." She tugged her coat down so that it hid the lack of pants and shirt lost in a pillow war. Although, under the crook of her arm was a thick fluffy pillow. So who really lost something here? Not her.

The next drop was right into the center of a cake for a wedding, when she popped out...the groom looked at his new to be wife and swore up and down that he didn't ask for a stripper cake.

"No really he didn't~" Nevada waved as she disappeared again.
