Welcome to Gaia! ::

Capt. Huntite chooses to join the group Searching for Youma Upstairs.

[5 + 5]

Huntite wasn't too surprised to see there had been as at least a few youma within the building, it only made sense after all. They were within their territory and it had laid abandoned for centuries. However with the youma pair leaving for the upper floors it wasn't long before the first floor was cleared and the group was getting ready to split once again. The Captain had already made up his mind on where he was going to go even before he notices a few of the corrupted, as well as one of the cats were heading upstairs.

With no one to guide them, the soldiers that are now stuck upstairs have to make their own decision. They know that they need to get back to the rest of their group, but they’re also at risk of being ambushed by the very youma they were hoping to surprise, and their primary objective is still to find the crystalline gear they came for. Since there’s no clear leader among them to give orders, they each must make their own decision about how they will proceed. They may choose to look in the Left Room, the Right Room, or on the Balcony.

[Choice 1]:
The Left Room is the closest to the staircase and, other than that, has no outstanding feature that makes its door appear any different from the others on this level. Its simply the only one on the left hand side that will open.

If your character chooses to go through the door on the left, please copy the text below and include it in your post.

[b](CHARACTER NAME)[/b] chooses to open [color=purple][b]the Left Door [/b][/color] and search inside.

[Choice 2]:
The Right Room is the farthest from the staircase and, other than that, has no outstanding feature that makes its door appear any different from the others on this level. Its simply the only one on the right hand side that will open.

If your character chooses to go through the door on the right, please copy the text below and include it in your post.

[b](CHARACTER NAME)[/b] chooses to open [color=blue][b]the Right Door[/b] and search inside[/color].

[Choice 3]:
The balcony is straight ahead and fully visible from the staircase. Although there doesn’t seem to be any immediately apparent way to get down from first glance, perhaps your character will be able to communicate with the group members outside. There has to be a ladder somewhere.

If your character chooses to walk out onto the balcony, please copy the text below and include it in your post.

[b](CHARACTER NAME)[/b] chooses to head out to [color=green][b]the Balcony[/b][/color] to look for a way down.

[Prompt 4b - Characters Outside]

The back of the tavern seems like it was once a bustling center for the business and, in any other circumstance, might have been interesting to any history lovers among their ranks. To the immediate left of the busted wall is an old stable, likely meant to house the horses of travelers and a few stable animals. To the right is what appears to be an old storehouse, likely for dried goods and supplies. A pathway stretches ahead of them, but there’s a mist lingering across the land in the distance and Uvarovite doesn’t seem pleased with the idea of anyone going that far alone. His primary objective is finding a way to reach the group on the second floor.

The group members outside can explore the area around the storehouse for an alternate entrance or check to see if the stable has a ladder.

[Choice 1]:
Your character opts to explore the area around the old storehouse. The tavern obviously employed the use of a service corridor inside, so chances are they had other ways for people to slip quietly in and out without disturbing the guests.

If your character decides to explore the area around the storehouse, please copy the text below and include it in your post:

[b](CHARACTER NAME)[/b] chooses to scout [color=red][b]the storehouse[/b] area[/color].

[Choice 2]:
Your character heads over to the stable to search for a ladder. Stables are usually full of all sorts of yard work supplies and the group can even see that it has a loft through one of the open windows. You can’t get up to the loft without a ladder, right?

If your character decides to explore the stable, please copy the text below and include it in your post:

[b](CHARACTER NAME)[/b] chooses to check[color=orange][b]the stable[/b][/color] for tools.

Reven chooses to scout the storehouse area.

"Hmm, yes. Let's." Reven was definitely in favor of anything that let her show off her usefulness to the Negaverse. She'd been such a slouch of a guardian for so long, she felt she had a lot to make up for, and even if she was doing well to rectify this there was still a long way to go in her mind.

And also according to Silk.

As she was settled into gap between collar and neck the kitten sprawled, thin body stretching out to curl around the senshi's shoulders, tail flicking continuously. She fell quiet as they followed the general out again, acting as a second pair of eyes to be sure there was nothing creeping up behind them of from the side.

"There's crystals everywhere, I dunno if we'll be able to get in here," she murmured quietly beside Mabs ear as they followed the group towards the storehouse.

(Corrupt Sailor Meridiana) chooses to checkthe stable for tools.

“Hey,” Meridiana turned to Arabia, a deep look of concern overshadowed her normally overconfident expression. “I’m going to head to the stables.”

“If we can find the ladder, great. But I’m going to see if there’s anything in there we can use to fight with.” She glanced over her shoulder at the ominous mist in the distance. “It feels like we’re lambs being lead to slaughter.” And somewhere out there was their soon to be executioner.

For the first time since arriving, the Senshi of the Succubus actually felt scared.

Vladimirite chooses to checkthe stable for tools.

Logic said that tools would be where they would be needed most.
Besides, what was the worst that could happen?

Aside from you know, ending up dead.

Corrupt Sailor Arabia chooses to checkthe stable for tools. (13pts)

The door slamming shut behind them made Arabia jump. The sound coming from behind made him nearly stop in his tracks. He had only been half joking but that sound coming from behind the door was very clear...something had given way. That had been why he had wanted to stay on the ground. If they were trapped, he didn't have to worry about dropping through and breaking something else landing on rubble.

Now, as he looked up to the ceiling above them, Arabia felt himself give a shutter. To be trapped up there or to be trapped down here?

It was with a sigh of relief that he walked with the group back outside.

Walking outside, Arabia followed Meridiana towards what looked to have been a stables. "Just pretend you are the wolf the shepard has not seen." Arabia tried to comfort her as much as himself when he reached out a hand and touched her shoulder. "I doubt they would expect your bite to be as strong as it is."
