[ Phyela : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
Phyela weakly waved an arm, trying to grab onto Luke. "I'm...fine..." she said rather weakly. It sounded like she was out of breath. "Too...much...magic..." She then slumped in his arms, falling unconscious, though tried her best to stay awake. "I'll...be fine..." slowly, she passed out, and started to lightly snore.

[ Izzy : Deku Mine : B1 ]
Izzy blushed and scratched the back of his head after Felin jumped out of his arms, then looked at the map with her. It took him a while to think of everything, weighing in all the rooms they had been in before. "Well, I've already been in this room right here," he said, pointing to the Northeast room. "And I'm pretty sure the bars on the door to this room opened when Akin lit the other torches, so I guess that's our only other way to go for now. Let's get to it!" He jumped into the water and swam across, then climbed out on the other side. There were two more blade traps here that he hadn't seen before; he hoped they could get past them without any more damage coming to Felin. Suddenly, he had an idea. He stepped forward, bringing himself in their path, and the two blades came rushing at him right as he removed his foot. When the traps started to slowly make their way back, they could run for it.

[ Luke : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
Luke carefully picked her up and layed her down next to the wall of the high ledge, deciding to let her sleep to recover her energy. "It's okay, Phy, I'll get us out of here." His eyes moved to the block Phyela had been moving before, and he got up and approached it, deciding to finish her job. He struggled with the block for a long time, dragging it slowly, and eventually moving around to push it along the path. Once it was in place, he climbed up on top and then pulled himself up to the ledge, only to find nothing but a door, which was covered by metal bars. He tried to move the bars, but to no avail. There was another patch of oddly colored and textured floor here, making another circle a few feet away from the door, but when it didn't seem to be for anything. He kicked it, and nothing happened, other than a pain in his toes. Maybe there was something else he had to do...?
He glanced around the large chamber, seeing nothing that could possibly help him. Just water, water, and more water. But wait! Something in the distance caught his eye. There was a stone ledge poking out of the water at the far Southwest corner of the room. And was that a treasure chest he saw? Maybe it held something to break these bars? In any case, it was all he could see to do at the moment. He dropped down to the floor and ran across the room, jumping into the water. Sure, his staff slowed him down, but there was no telling what awaited him on the other side, and he'd rather not be caught without some means of defense. He was a good swimmer, anyway, and he made it across quickly enough.

[ Felin : Deku Mine : B1 ]
Felin crossed her arms, pain flaring, though not as painful as before. Was she recovering already? She'd think about it later. But wait! Maybe she could swim by herself again? Taking a chance, she slipped into the water and let her arms do all the work. She wasn't sure about her legs. She climbed out and noticed a couple of leaves were lost. Turning her head, she saw them floating on the pool, bits of cobweb stuck to them but slowly drifting away. Oh well, nothing she could do. Standing up, now it was time for her feet to do the work. Taking a step, slight pain flared, but nothing that could incapacitate her from running. Although she didn't want to push herself, she walked up beside Izzy, and after setting the trap, backed away. When they slid back into their positions, she launched at the small cliff, hopping up quite easily, though it felt like her legs were on fire.
"Well that was...something." Akin said. "You okay?"
"Yeh. I think I'm getting better."

[ DM/Monster Post : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
The large treasure chest awaiting on the other side of the water seemed unguarded; Luke may have thought that he was free to take whatever was inside. However, as soon as he pulled himself out of the water, an Acheman dropped down from the ceiling - a large, brown, bat-like demon with bright red wings, unlike the blue wings of Aches. It was also different from regular Aches in that it was the size of a grown man. The monster reared back its head and spit a ball of fire at the young Hylian...________________________________________________________________ [ Izzy : Deku Mine : B1 ]Izzy quickly sprinted away from the traps, right behind Felin, and hopped and climbed up to the higher ledge. He looked back at the metallic contraptions with a glare; he was glad they wouldn't have to deal with them anymore, but mostly for Felin's sake. He turned to his friend and smiled, although he was still breathing fast. "Well, that was quite a run. Guess everything takes more out of you when you're running for your life." He offered her his arm in case she needed some help. "Are you alright? We can stop for a break, if you want. At any rate, I think all the monsters around here are dead."

[ Luke : Deku Mine : B1 ]
Luke jumped back, and almost fell back into the water, when he saw the ferocious monster descend. Was there any way he could beat this thing by himself? But then again, it wasn't that big; in fact, it was a little shorter than him, from ugly, menacing head to dangerous clawed feet. He quickly jumped out of the way of the fireball, and the scorching-hot ball of flame barely missed his bare feet. He then rolled and rose to his feet quickly, and rounded on the creature, bringing his staff around in a horizontal swing. Oh sweet Farore, this thing is ugly as sin, he thought to himself. He hoped it wouldn't notice Phyela sleeping over on the other side of the water. If he just kept it locked on himself, everything would be fine...

((Whew! Sorry that took a while; I was gonna post yesterday, but things happened. Got to see a dear friend who I haven't seen in forever. So I just spent the whole day and night with him. Not to mention the past week before that was hell on wheels. BUT I'm back. Let the awesomeness resume! Or something like that. XD))

[ Felin : Deku Mine : B1 ] Felin smiled, letting out a huffed breath. "Yeah, that's true. So Akin opened the path?" she looked up to her fairy. "Hey, when I came in the room, the stick was lying on the floor. You can thank me later."Now they had to get back through the door. Felin didn't know if she'd be able to open it, at least not in her current state, so she'd let Izzy open it. If only I hadn't fell, I wouldn't be suffering through this right now.--- [ Phyela : Beneath the Well : B1 ] Phyela slowly started to wake up. It took her a moment to remember where she was, but the gray walls and pools helped remind her. Carefully, she tried to get up, letting out a groan. How long was I out? she asked herself. On her knees, she let out a cough and spit in the pool beside her. Using her staff and the wall, she got to her feet, only to buckle under for a second. She leaned over, seemingly gasping for breath. Her strength was coming back bit by bit, but she must've exhausted what little she had just standing up. She raised her head, seeing Luke fight something, before looking back down to the ground. She heard various noises coming from them, mostly grunts and Luke's staff hitting stuff. Weakly she made her way over to the boy and his current enemy. She didn't have enough strength back to shoot the beast, so a simple touch would have to suffice. She brushed her hair back, then tapped the beast's shoulder, gradually freezing it in place. Once it was frozen, Phyela rested on it, gasping and wheezing. She looked over to Luke. "Where would you be without me?"

[ Luke : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
"Well..." Luke began, staring in awe at the frozen beast. "...Without you? Dead," he said with a grin. "But you shouldn't push yourself so far. Anyway, back away from that thing, please. I remember how those little bats broke out of your ice. I'm having a heart attack imagining this huge, ugly brute breaking free and cooking you with its breath."
He then remembered that the monster had distracted him from something. Deciding to take his chance now, he turned to the chest and lifted up the top of it. When it was open, he peered inside and saw what looked like two large brown gloves. "Hm... Okay, I'll bite." He reached in and retrieved the gloves to examine them. Upon closer inspection, he could see that these mitts had large claws attached to the fingers which curved in deeply at the bottoms, as if they were used to scoop something. Ignoring a sudden mental image of cheese dip that sprang to his mind, he decided to put the gloves on. Maybe they could scoop up those circles of odd-colored ground. Come to think of it, hadn't he seen one of those circles over here on the far side of the water...?

[ Acheman (Mid-Boss) : Beneath The Well : B1 ]
Without any sort of warning, the bat-like creature suddenly broke out of the ice in one quick movement, pushing out with his wings, which knocked the Hylian girl into the water. It then glared its red, evil eyes at the boy who had dared to strike his pole against its body earlier. It stepped forward quickly and lunged out with the huge claws attached to its long, lanky front arms, letting out a screeching battle cry that rang off the stone walls of the dungeon room.

[ Luke : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
Letting out a surprisingly high-pitched, panicked shriek, Luke backflipped out of the way as fast as he could. The Acheman's claws scratched slightly against his back, but it was an insignificant injury compared to what would have happened had he not moved away in time. He reached his free hand to feel his back for the scratches, and winced loudly when he found them.
"Well, at least they're not deep," he said, quickly side-stepping another swing of the terrible claws. As the beast prepared to slash the claws of its other hand at him, he sent a quick upward strike with his staff to its jawline.

[ Acheman : Beneath The Well : B1 ]
The Hylian boy's attack hit the monster under its chin, knocking its head back for a split second. It quickly regained its focus, however, and shrieked at its prey again. After another short series of powerful flaps from its huge, leathery wings, it took in a deep breath and shot out from its maw yet another red-hot blast of fire. The creature was severely weakening, and becoming quite irritated with this skinny weakling before him. Why wouldn't it just die? Well, that problem would be solved quickly enough by its fireballs.

[ Phyela : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
A blast of frozen air was sent towards the fireball, colliding with the dangerous projectile and creating a small cloud of steam, fizzling out the monster's attack. Phyela, who was now soaked again, stood up from her place in the small river. She was peeved, and with good reason. This beast had caused her more grief than the two stupid Aches from before. "That's enough of that, you vile monster." Her tone seemed commanding, "Time you bit some dust instead of skin!" she shouted. Instead of freezing it again, she decided to assault it with sand and wind, several dust particles and leaves sprouting from her wand, which wrapped around the Acheman in a violent twister. She was careful not to exhaust herself this time, but her fury made that task quite daunting. The wind and sand ripped through the monster's wings, and she saw it try to claw at the air in hopes of freeing itself. It shot a fireball at her, to which she quickly extinguished it with a blast of ice. As it took in another breath to try and burn the girl again, Phyela quickly formed an ice chunk and hucked it at the beast. It landed spot-on, and the Acheman began to choke on the frozen block. She smiled, as it would either die from suffocation or physical torment. It was only a matter of time.
She quickly looked up for a brief second. "Luke, grab the chest while I hold bozo off!"

[ Luke : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
The young man did as his friend said, and ran to the chest while the Acheman was still preoccupied. With a short groan, he heaved the lid open slowly and threw it back, and inside he found.......
A pair of old gloves. Or at least, that's what they appeared to be. Sighing loudly, he reached into the chest and picked them up to examine them. He found that they had silver, metal claws...possibly for fighting? With a look back at the Acheman, afraid of the fact that it would start attacking again any moment now, he nervously pulled the mitts onto his hands, slipping quite a few times. Once they were secure enough, he turned on his heel and ran towards the winged beast. Once he was closer, he leaped into the air, and as he descended, he punched straight down at its ugly head. The claws scraped right through its brown, leathery flesh, and it let out a horrid wail as it fell to the ground, disappearing in a large display of flame and smoke.
Luke stood back up from where he had fallen on his hands and knees, and let out a sigh of relief. He then turned to Phyela, so quickly that his wet hair whipped around and stung his face. Paying it no mind, he knelt down and extended his hand to Phyela, offering to help her up out of the water.
"Are you... alright?"

{ Phyela : Beneath the Well ]
Phyela promptly grabbed Luke's hand as he pulled her up. The blow he delivered to the beast must've suprised her, causing the witch to fall back in. "I'm alright. Wet again." she let out a disgruntled chortle. "So is that what was in there?" she gestured to the gloves Luke was wearing. "Geez, if we knew those were in there, we'd have an easier time fighting that thing." she put her hands on her hips and rhythmically tapped her foot.
She then turned her attention to the room. They had spent so much time with the monster, she was wondering if they ever explored the area above the vines. She put a hand on her chin, trying to recall if she ever did.
[[ I really do forget emotion_sweatdrop it's been so long since I saw the layout, and just where the block is. The chest with the mitts was all that stuck. ]]

[ Luke : Beneath the Well : B1 ]
"I think they're for more than fighting..." Luke said, almost thinking out loud as he stared at the mitts on his hands. He then looked over at the circle of oddly cream-colored floor on the tiny island. "We keep seeing these things all over the place... Maybe the mitts can dig through...whatever that is?"
He walked slowly over to the circle, and knelt down beside it. After moving his hair out of his eyes with his hand, he braced himself, and clawed at the oddly colored floor with the mitts. Just as he had suspected, the strange stone-like material gave way easily under the might of the claws. After digging for a moment, he wiped the sweat from his brow with his forearm and looked up at Phyela. "Going down?"
After just a bit more digging, he reached the bottom of the hole, only to find that there was more of the stone stuff straight ahead. He assumed he would be travelling horizontally now, like any sane person would hope. "Hey Phy," he called from down below. "I think it's a tunnel leading back to the main island! Just a guess, though." With that, he took in and let out a deep breath, and kept on digging.

((It's okay if you forgot, Kal. Actually, we never got that chest above the vines. I was planning to save it for Phy... There's a surprise in it. ^_^
As for the layout, I believe Izzy's description is on the previous page.
I'll upload that map someday. SOMEDAY!
Also, we're almost done with Basement 1! And that rhymes! Yay!))
