((Its not spectral/mechanical, its simply a conjured image of my char.'s mind. And as in ALL caves, the rock is rather porrus, which would allow my heightened senses to pick up scent molecules that would drift from their origional location which would allow me to know in what direction it came from.))
*Terr continued to concentrate on his image as it came across a moderately large open area*
"Interesting place."

Xol defenses picked up another intruder in the cave, and this one was sending some sort of link connected to an image into the cave his Keep occupied. A heavy slab started to close behind the two intruders and the narrow plank they stood upon was slowly descending into the depths of whatever lay below.
"Naughty, naughty...intruders are not welcome..." Came his raspy voice before grabbing the girl by the arm and dissapearing with her into his parlour.
As they reappeard, Xol winced slightly from the pain in his side and made his way to the barstool by Raven. "Now that he's been dealt with...why do you encroach upon my Keep, Ms Blade?" He asked, taking a ragged inward breath before moving behind his bar and pouring himself another drink.
"Would you like a drink...any of you?" His gaze went from Faith, to Raven, to Phia before back to the mixing of his own drink.

*Terr was undaunted as he began to float despite the failing plank. The image begins to roam the vast corridors, searching the rooms for signs of life.*
"Where are you?" the image seemingly whispered.

That was not all the his defense systems had in store for the intruder. As the door closed behind him and the plank continued into the depths of the netherworld small holes opened up in unison around the dome of the caves roof. Small nozzles extened outward and a highly toxic gas consisting of a variety of neurotoxins and flesh eating bacterias was pumped into the chamer. Within moments it would be filled.

"No thank you Xol... I've stopped drinking for the time being." Rave said shortly before she stood, walking up beside him. "I'll get it for you..?"
Her lips bowed up softly as she touched his side with the tips of her fingers. " Sit down if you can and I'll bring it to you if your not already finished making it..." She said calmly, his jagged breath was enough to give away he was hurt in some manner.

*The image faded slightly as Terr began to lightly pulse his energy outward and cover himself in a layer of metal, both preventing the breathing and contact of the gas*
"Damn it Xol, end this bullshit and listen to me."
*He sent these words outward strongly, being sure anyone could at least hear the echo within the caves*

Indeed...he was still hurt. More so physically weak than anything else from not having the proper time to rest. It really didn't matter to him, besides he hadn't seen Raven in some time now, and he certainly wasn't going to be rude to his guests.
"Thanks love...just pour whatevers left of those three bottles into the cup. Don't know what it is, but it tastes good." He tilted his head to the side and kissedher on the neck as she walked by, but grimacing slightly as she touched his side. He made his way to the nearest open barstool and sat down.
"Please Faith...sit."
EDITED
A spectral image came face to face with the intruders image. His appearance was anything less than happy. "I don't take kindly to people snooping in my Keep. You have ten seconds to explain yourself before I send a plasmatic wave into the cave and dissolve you into pure energy."

Her ears went flat to her skull "...Sorry" She whined as she noticed him grimace. She didnt think she touched him hardly at all...
She finished making the drink he started on and placed the bottles back in the far corner of the bar. She walked over to him and sat the drink on the counter. "Did you hear that?..." She questioned, her ears standing on end as she noticed a faint echo.
"Nh.. what ever." she shrugged it off and turned her attention back to Xol.
"I'll help you heal soon but I can't right now. I will when I have enough energy... I've been out of it lately. I'll be as good as new tomorrow... It's just the moon."
She purred, kissing him gently before she slid up to sit on a stool beside him.

*The false image looked forward to answer the spectral's question.*
"I've come to find Thanatos and Kaiori. I pressume they are here."
*Terr's image flickered slightly*
"So am i correct in my assumption?"

Irvine suddenly appeared in a white flash. He shook himself. He had snow all over him. He scattered it across some of Xol's parlour. He looked around and at it gave a slight shrug. On his back was slung his old sword but somthing seemed different about it. Irvine was also wearing Requiem openly on his chest. He cracked his neck and walked over to Xol, Raven, Phia and a mystery guest.
"Hello all...."

"Thanatos is being repaired in my personal rejuvenation chamber as we speak while Kaiori rests soundly on a table next to him. No damage to Kaiori was recorded, while Than suffered from an imploded left eye, severed left arm and right optic nerve, stab wounds to his front and back; one causing a collapsed lung, and a slit throat. He is stable at the moment." The image reported. While it looked, talked and had the exact same manuerisms of Xol, it was nothing more that an image projected by the lab's central computer.
"The gas has been vented and the door opened in the cave above. Now that you have the information you seek you may leave."
Xol turned and eagerly returned the kiss before taking his drink from across the table and taking a sip of it. "The moon...ah! The moon! Our experiment! It's in the final stages so whenever you're ready." He nodded with a large smile.
"And you're not the only one out of it..., hello Irvine. Thank you for the other night. I might not be here if it wasn't for you."

"Don't mention it...sides, as much as I don't want to admit it, I'm not invincible either. If anything it will take both of us to destroy Mastema. I can forgive what you've done to me Xol. That much I've done. The only thing is that I will always remember...but vengence and old memories is not what I'm here for. I've come to ask a favor of you."
Irvine remained where he was standing. He didn't want to intrude as his visit would only take a short amount of time.
