Inspired by her team, Nora swung. Maybe a little too inspired, though, as the horseman went poof. Then again it had been hitting hard enough that despite the loss on the bonus, she'd be alright.
"Kind've you to let the newbie have her go," she said to the two with a winded grin. "I'll try to keep up. Fun intro, that."

With the second day dawning, Jason got up early in order to try and escape some of the dreadful heat of the Sahara desert, hoping he could get his patrol done and be back again. He was also thankful there were some rations left in their small camp so he had something to eat and drink with him as he walked around the endless sands, looking for anything unusual.
It didn't take long for him to find something that was odd; a set of stairs were partly concealed in the sand. Looking down them he couldn't make anything out and he knew that it was going to be horrible and scary but it was his job to do these things so...
"I really don't like this." He mumbled, descending the stairs and entering the temple that was somehow located under the desert. As far as he could tell there was no one here but there were plenty of red flowered vines littering the area. Were these flowers going to eat him?
As he fretted over the possibility of the flowers growing teeth he became aware of strange voices in the air. s**t, did that mean a insanity titan?! He stopped to listen however, as he could swear he had heard some of these voices before...
No scratch that, he wanted out. As Jason turned to run out of the temple his boot got caught on one of the vines, sending him to the ground with a thud "Ugh!" He scrambled to his feet out of fright, flinching as he felt something slice into his arm. "W-what the - ARRRRGGHHHH!"
His scream echoed off the walls, but he ignored his own voice in favor of trying to fend of the vine that was creeping into the cut on his arm. He hacked and slashed at the vines but it still penetrated his arm, causing him to cry out in pain now. More blood splattered the walls from the forein intrusion. With a shout he managed to cut the vine in half, pulling the rest of it away from his arm. "Arugh..." s**t, he needed to get out!
Holding his injured arm, Jason ran for the temple steps, unknown to him the rest of the vine that had seeped into his arm was beginning to grow...

day 1
Quote: 81 - 90: You fall through the sand into a stone room. Along the floor are piles of body parts. One of the piles begins to move, then several more. Roll 1d20 to escape back up the way you came or destroy a wall with your weapon. You must roll 11 or higher to succeed. Failure causes you to be mobbed by the creatures. Before you pass out, you notice their features changing to match your own. When you wake up, you are naked and alone except for your weapon's totem. You either escape under your own power or are rescued by your teammates.
But the other part of her screamed, Stick together. So Nora curbed the instinct to go running after what could be a lost sheep and decided to trust that Jason was fine and at most had just gotten turned around.
"Going to the loo," she told Chel in passing, tugging at her cowl. It was getting towards the late evening now, and it was thankfully starting to get colder; the extra layers she had put on while at their post would help her get through that, hopefully. Nora moved around the back of their camp and behind the tents, her hand at her waistband, when she heard it.
At first the Sun thought it was hissing and immediately summoned her weapon, but when she heard it again it seemed much softer than that. Sand shiftingon the winds? But there wasn't a breeze to speak of right now. With growing suspicion, she moved forward, always aware of how far the camp was, and inched just beyond the perimeter.
The second she did, her foot sank into the sand, and the rest of her body quickly followed suit with a strangled yelp.

Dizzied and coughing, it took her a while to realize where she was: some sort of open stonewall room. Above her head she saw stars (actual ones, not the cartoonish kind she figured would be going around her head right about now). Well at least she wasn't going to suffocate underground . . .
"Talk about prat falls," Nora muttered as she rubbed her head, easily locating her weapon thanks to its red runes. By its light and that of the skies, she could see she wasn't alone. There were piles of . . . what? The stench belatedly hit her, and with horror Nora realized that she was surrounded by body parts. Body parts that moved.
"Gods, maybe--" No, it wasn't the light, it was too steady; not firelight, you ignoramus. Beatrix whined at her to get away, and that was exactly what Nora fumbled to do, still reeling from the hard landing and the sand but at least clearly seeing the pile of sand that had taken her down acting as a rather handy hill back up.
That was when she felt something grab her ankle.
Evan would have been proud with just how handy her so-called restless leg syndrome was as she immediately flung it off and smashed another body flinging itself at her. There was blood, screeching, and she swore for a moment that one of them was starting to have eerily familiar freckles that hadn't been there before. Not that she found out if that was real or not.
Nora got the hell out, scrambling madly back to the surface and spitting out more sand along the way. She didn't dare look back until she hit camp and promptly collapsed in the tent, her clothes more tattered and her breath a little wheezy.

Chel had been charged with guarding the "camp" (which was actually just a pile of their crap) until the other two returned after scouting a bit. She was supposed to have set up the camp, but she was feeling very lazy and quite frankly she wanted to work on her tan instead.
It was nice being out here on an actual MISSION. She'd been feeling way too cooped up. So many days had gone by of relentless sparring and training duties. Things like running the deathsweeper course or cleaning the island. It was so very dull, with only one mission in between. Talk about lame.
After a while, Chel got a little worried. The other two were supposed to run a simple check- nothing special and nothing that should've taken this long.
Nora eventually returned, looking like total hell. "Woah Nora, what happened? You okay?" She looked behind her for any sign of Jason, but none was found. "Jason?"

It was a while before Jason was able to make it back to their camp, Having to spend some time dressing his own wound. The runic bandages he had were a god send, and he had to make sure he adjusted his coat so that the others wouldn't worry about the cut to his arm. He had a duty to protect his comrades after all, and regardless of how fearful he was he couldn't think to go back to Deus Ex and leave Nora and Chel behind.
"S-sorry!" He called out to them, waving with his un-damaged arm. "I g-got a little caught up. I found a temple with some strange vines-" He stopped in his tracks, seeing one of them on the floor - "Nora!"
He ran the rest of the way into their makeshift camp and stood by the tattered hunter. "Are you alright? Hurt anywhere?" He went to look her over for any obvious signs of injury.

Nora just sputtered for a moment, trying to catch her breath and fill it with clean air. There was a small stitch in her side, but other than the scare and some rends in her clothes, she'd made it in one piece.
She glanced at Jason as he crouched by her. "Shite," she breathed, chuckling. "I find corpses and you just find a garden. Very fair. I'm fine, mate, really. Shaken, but fine, they didn't get past my shield."
Being scared alone was fine. Looking scared with company was unacceptable.
With a grunt she forced herself to sit up, a hand going to her head to try and massage the headache away. "So let's not go back there, eh? Fell into some kind of chasm full of body parts and things crawling after me. Basically just Laura Crofted their arses and climbed my way back out, nothing special." She thought about mentioning the freckled one, then decided that it had to be the lighting, or just some part of her wild imagination caught up in the moment.
"So! Who's up for first night shift? 'Cause it won't be me." Nora touched her nose.

"Jason!" Chel shouted, relief flooding her voice. She might have teased the guy, but she really did care about his wellbeing.
"Really? That's pretty impressive for a trainee." Chel gave them both sympathetic looks and added, "I'll take the first shift. You two get some food and get some rest. It's obviously gonna be a long night."
Now that they both came back so bruised and shaken, she actually felt bad about putting together such a halfhearted campsite. At least it was there!

"Well, if you're sure..." He stepped back as she got up, noting how she held her head and walked over to the supply area. "T-that sounds horrible." He shuddered, picking up two bottles of water and handing one to Nora. "J-just make sure you don't get dehydrated." Jason twisted the lid off his own, lifted the bottle to drink it when he shirked, dropping it and jumping back. "T-theres maggots in it!" If either of them looked, they'd find nothing wrong with save it was leaking water everywhere.

Nora looked proud of herself as well. "Well if I couldn't fight off a bunch of corpses, what the hell would I be doing in Sun, eh?"
It was solid advice not to get dehydrated, but even Nora's thirst abated when she saw Jason and the maggots. If faces could read as complete nope, that was her expression. A tired, now somewhat cooked nope.
Not at all contesting Chel's offer to get first watch, she crawled under the covers of her sleeping bag and promptly began an uneasy sleep.

DAY TWO
She awoke to the sound of arrows slicing through their meager tent. Chel was up and ready, but slow as a cow and scratching her head idly in her pajamas.
"Eh? Wassat?" Eyes focused on a woman who looked like something straight out of a kung fu movie. Conquest, they were called, right?
She rattled the tent and said, "Yo wakey wakey eggs n' bakey we got a horse thing." That was about as cognizant as Chel was getting at the moment.
