Light flashed and formed, and Roch stepped out of it, looking at his PDA. He looked around, evaluating the situation as he decided the best place to start. This was the Silver Kingdom. He'd never been here before, he thought idly. But the basics were pretty obvious. He was here to salvage.
And their commander was so big on not being pirates, he thought dryly. "If we were pirates we'd at least have a bliznoxin' map," he muttered as he tried to bring up information on his PDA. He had nothing. He glanced at the sign as he slipped his PDA into his pocket, then snorted.
"Let's get this over with."

A crumbling, empty Kingdom awaited them. A strange series of rooms and mazes too. Mot was glad it wasn't a battlefield like he;d expected all that time. He just needed to use his head. Suddenly the task no longer seemed quite so grave.
Save for the fact failure to collect Miasma would spell his Kingdom's demise.
A shiver ran up his spine, and he pressed forward...
- There is a clue etched in one of the staircases: "One is less than five." - Each floor must be progressed through. All you need to do is roll 5 6-sided dice for these floors. Rp out your exploration as you ascend. For each odd number you roll, take 1 damage from falling debris. This damage is subtracted from my HP. You are free to rp out/ remain in this zone as long as you want until you want to progress further (see floors 6-10) - Example: I roll a 5 5-sided dice. I state in my OOC quotes that I am in floors 1 - 5. I end up rolling 4, 2, 1, 5, 3. That means I take 2 damage. - In addition for EACH 1 I roll, I get +1 Miasma Points - My player can use ANY or ALL Events (that they gained at the start from the 3d10) during this time - If your HP is not 0, continue onwards. If your HP is 0 you die and loose all Miasmas Points. You respawn back in your Kingdom. You cannot enter this event again or any other event thread (but you are free to rp in your Kingdom thread).
HP: 45/50 (Took 5 Damage) Events: Used both 10 rolls Miasma: 5+5+2=12
Mot was rudely interrupted from investigating the strange carvings on a staircase, as a column nearly crushed him. His thin and frail form rolled to dodge, debris cascading across the room he was in. Pelted by bits and chunks of stone, Mot curled into a ball until the room once again stilled. So much for an easy task. He was in danger of dying at every turn.
However, uncurling himself he found that the damage done had revealed something. Two small vials rolled with a light clinking noise across the floor. Long slender fingers grasped at the tiny things, finding them to be filled with Miasma. A lucky break to be certain. Mot tucked them carefully into his armour, and slowly rose to proceed further into the Labyrinth.
Following the rest of the group sent to the tower, Kat stepped out, glancing about the structure. So this was the silver kingdom. Well, it appeared the two were not lying when they came to seek refuge in the white kingdom. Silver kingdom was definitely beginning to crumble.
In any case, it was best she be careful. There was no telling what lay ahead.

Bix shimmered into existence with the rest of his team and took a moment to get his bearings before pressing on. He glanced around, a frown setting in as he saw the crumbling tower. A whole world, empty and desolate. This could be them soon enough.
He couldn't let that happen.
Before stepping forward he noticed something glittering in dusty pile of stones. Fishing it out he found a small artifact. Perhaps a resident had dropped it in their flight from the realm? He tucked it away.
HP: 40 / 40 Rank: Pawn Dice: 2d8 - atk, 1d8 - def Miasma Collected: 2 Inventory: -- Description: Bix is an albino serpentine alien with feathery white hair in futuristic white clothing.

You pick up +2 Miasma Points - USING NOW 8 ) Everything starts spinning for a second as you hear someone call you. It is a familiar face but they look strange, wrong. Everything is wrong even the colour. Since when was everything so... dark? That's the last thing you process as you black out. YOUR CHARACTER MUST KO. This counts as ONE death. All Miasma Points you have acquired post KO are turned to zero. You cannot transfer Miasma Points to another player. 4) Your suspicion and paranoia get the better of you as you attack the opponent closest to you. You do melee damage to them.

Lumikki winced slightly as she came through the kingdom was broken. What had happened here. Frowning she looked around and saw others from her kingdom no...this couldn't be what they meant if the kingdom fell to battle. Taking a deep breath she tried to follow after Roch but lost him fairly quickly.

She may have arrived a little later then the others, but Shaheen was not about to partake in this task in her best clothing. She had gone to her home to quickly change into something more comfortable and easier to move in, shedding her modesty for the sake of her kingdom. Her blonde hair was taken out of it's intricate weaving, her accessories shelved. She had stared at herself in the mirror while she pulled her hair back in a single, simple braid.
She was a true warrior now, and it was time to look the part.
Upon arriving at the remains of the silver tower, Shaheen felt chills run up and down her spine. This was what would happen to the gold kingdom should they fail. She would have to ensure that it did not. Combined with these fleeting feelings of anxiety were traces of excitement. It was time to adventure into the unknown.
Carefully, she made her way to the entrance, picking her way through the fallen debris and looking to any who may have just arrived, nodding to those of gold and pointedly ignoring the other kingdoms entirely.
It was time to get to work.

Mot pressed forward deeper into the maze. It was a lonely task. He was unused to being alone for so long. Collecting this Miasma was getting more difficult, now that it wasn't revealing itself by chance.
The dark haired man went from room, to room, to room. He looked at carvings, under collapsed stone fragments. He tried to figure out the mysteries as if it might help his own Kingdom avoid such a downfall.
<> HP: 41/50 Events used: Miasma: 12 Kingdom: Red Role: Rook Description: Mot is awesome? He was a chiropractor, and now he is trying to save his Kingdom. He's mild mannered, friendly, and sometimes a little clumsy when he is nervous.
Once they were ready, Roch headed into the tower, his right hand shifting into different forms, a saw, a simple blade, a miniature guitar--his mind was focused to a point, but the strange changes in his hand showed that he was feeling a little on edge. He focused, though, when he saw the note at the bottom of the stairs.
".....Whut?" he said finally. Yes, 1 was less than 5. But it made him stare at the stairs blankly for a moment before starting up them. They weren't stable, he noticed, and he turned, about to ask Lumikki how she was doing--
The floor seemed to slip out from under his boot and he fell backwards, landing on the ground floor. "Son of a bliznox," he gasped once he could breathe again. He laid there for a moment, then shoved himself to his feet, and started up again. He couldn't use his teleporting--who knew what he would land on? But he'd been separated from Lumikki. He gritted his teeth and hoped he could catch up.
It seemed tense. The tension of silence was in a lot of ways, worse than the explosions of a fight. It was that moment of waiting for things to explode--
He cursed as he saw a shadow, twisting on the steps and stabbing with his hand shifted into a dangerously simple blade-- His eyes widened as he saw the white outfit too late.
"Oh s**t, I--" he said to Kat.

A sheer wind whistled through the emptiness, ruffling Kiwi's crimson robes as he arrived. All around him was desolation and silvery towers, shrouded by a fine mist. This must be it. The Silver kingdom.
His fingers knotted about the fan in his hand. That ambassador had lied. They had not been dispatched. War had already reached their kingdom. Interesting to note. Stepping over a fallen grey board, Kiwi began to look about. Stalls and markets stood empty, their wares long abandoned. He peeked around, poking at the spilled wares with his fan.
To his amazement, a Rusted Key fell out into the rubble. Kiwi picked it up, eyeing it with scrutiny before pocketing it among the folds of his gilt ruby robes. Now, to see what this tower was made of.
Kiwi approached the building, his golden eyes immediately catching to the words etched into the marble floor. Soaking them in to contemplate, he smiled softly and continued past.
Special Events
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: 40/40 Rank: Pawn Current Floor: Ground Floor Miasma Collected: 0 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.
Advancing, Kat shielded herself from the worst of the falling debris, which in return, made her oblivious to Roch's sudden attack.
Stiffening at the sharp pain in her side, Kat let out a low snarl, unaware of just who it was that she was about to strike out at. Without warning, the feline woman spun towards Roch, striking him in the face with her elbow. It took a moment before she realized that this had all been an unfortunate accident.
"..Roch..?" Clutching at her side, she watched him warily for a moment, standing to her full height. "This was an accident, I assume?"

It looked like just another city. There were buildings, structures and shops just as there would be in the Red Kingdom, regardless of differences in their appearance. There hadn't been a fire or anything to warrant the grandeur of destruction she'd been expecting given the arrivals in the kingdom from this place. Those of silver seemed to be rather frazzled from the downfall of their kingdom but- why had the kingdom fallen in the first place? The streets were empty and the fact that there were no signs of life was all that there was to prove that they'd met with some terrible fate. How could the whole of the kingdom simply vanish to other kingdoms? Something had to be amiss, and the tower was going to be the place to find some answers. Heels clicking along, Levi sought to enter the observatory in a hurry. It was no secret, really, that the Silver King had secrets. Secrets, perhaps, that could somehow keep her own Kingdom from falling under rule of another ... or fall as this kingdom had. Whatever was there, it would have to be dealt with.
She stroked the heavy boa around her shoulders that didn't seem to flutter at all against the wind. It was said that to enter the observatory, there was only a single entrance to use. It would have to be a journey through the tower to make it to the top. Upon entry of the ground floor, Levi would notice a set of carved words in marble across the floor. The silver glint from each letter made it difficult to miss. But who chooses her present?
