Sagetim As Grim lands he feels one of his ribs crack, and takes a quick mental summing up of the situation, that was a rib. check, did it snap off? feels like more of a fracture, has it puncutured any of my vitals?.....no way to really tell, but I'm going to go with no if I don't start coughing up blood. Letting out a groan, grim doesnt even try to move, his muscles aching and sending pain coursing through his limbs from his recent overdose of stimulant, " I am....Mr. Grim. now will you tell me who you are, or am I going to have to hunt you down, tie you up, and take you apart, piece by piece, giving you a thousand deaths before letting you succumb to the sweet embrace of death? do you see the things I wear? mementos of past accomplishments, don't make the mistake of joining them." and now, since I can't move, I figure my safest bet is to bluff, if this being sees through it, well, I'm screwed, especially if I become a target....well crap.(( rofl its nice to be cocky as hell....)) Follow me if you can and you will find out. She blinks in and out of your vision, motioning for you to follow her.

As he calms his breathing as much as possible, a grimace of pain shows on his face (still covered by the mask). He simply nods, and follows the lady, staying at an even pace and trying to hide his limp as he carries himself along.

Many hours later she brings you to a clear glass pond.
You need rest, rest here by this tree. Do not move until the sun is risen and do not touch the water for fear of your life.
She brings him a giant leaf with water then disappears and returns with berries and bugs on another giant frond.
Eat, you will need your strength tomorrow.
She disappears into the jungle.

Taking the offerings of food and water, Grim waits until she is gone before looking them over and thinking, lets see....I don't know the planet, I was warned against touching the lake, and I was given food and water, they could be poisoned, or diseased, and thus enable this person to blackmail me into servitude....if I keep my guard up constantly, I will be delerious in the morning...what to do....the human animal can last for 3 days without water, a month without food, I will at least stay my hand and keep from using this food or water, however sleep....I will need...it is time for rest...
After finding a suitable tree, Grim carefully climbs his way up to a branch that will serve his needs, leaving the food and water on the ground, a good distance away, he settles onto his chosen branch and begins to sleep lightly.

A rustling of branches awakens you. There is a cute looking furry animal drinking from the pink glassy pond, which is reflecting the sun rise.
Suddenly the sand in the pond shifts and a large fish with razor teeth chomps the animal three times and drags the rest of the body under the sand...

After seeing the animal devoured, Grim begins to concoct a plan. Gathering some branches and beggining to sharpen them to a point, Grim takes his time and carefully whiddles the branches down to the point that he can easily throw them. after making a few practice throws at a target in the ground, he resharpens the makeshift javelins and takes them to the water. once there, he takes a longer branch, and lays it down from a few feet away, and moves it around with his foot as he takes aim with his javelins (one in each hand). assuming there isn't a massive amount of pollution in the water, I should be able to cook and eat this fish...thus enabling me to be sure of my food supply...yes...
((if you want him to make it to the temple, it might be nice to get some direction leading xp loud sounds, something along those lines?))

When you are finished whittling some javelins, you hear a sound.
It is the weird cat humanoid and she motions for you to join her. She then disappears in the thick jungle, reappearing once in awhile to show you the way...

Taking up his makeshift weapons, Grim follows the humanoid, taking careful note of his surroundings as he does so. at least if I'm being led into a trap, I will be better prepared to defend myself than I was....then again, considering I haven't eated or drank anything for a day wouldn't make up for these pointy sticks...
As he made his way through the jungle, his anger flared. I wouldn't be trudging through here if I had remembered to get maintenence on my ship....and I wouldnt have forgotten that maintenence if the 'republic' hadn't decided my vengance was in err. I would be somewhere else now, probably on courscant in a penthouse apartment, the personal doctor of a senator if those scum had not struck....but no, instead of the easy life of a medical proffessional, I am trudging through a jungle persuing something I don't know.

Suddenly the jungle dissapates and you see a magnificent black city on verdant cliffs. There is a giant palace and spires in the middle of the city and the outside walls gleam white.
You see an actual path that looks like it will take you to the city. As you are about to make a decision, you hear a crashing noise behind you. A giant deer-like creature jumps out from a side bush...but then you hear something much bigger pursuing it...

Reacting quickly, Grim stabs two of his javelins into the ground, pointed up at an angle, so that if the charging beast wishes to follow him, it will at least get hurt. After doing this he runs down the path, third and final javelin in hand and ready to throw should the need arise. damn, no time to lay a proper trap, I'll have to rely on those sticks to at least slow it down or piss it off more. if it's pissed off enough it might start charging, at which point I can try to get it to run into a tree or something. as is, I may be able to presuade some help from this place I can see...then again, they might well shoot me on sight. still, I can't shake the feeling that this is what that strange being had in mind the entire time, maybe not the javelins, but the leading. she could be controlling the beast with subharmonics or possibly an implant. In any case, I HATE being controlled, I WILL have some revenge on this person.
((should we have about one or two more posts here, or should we continue in the obsidian palace?))

The beast rears its ugly head as it tramples through the jungle, flinging drool on your face. You the hide is very tough and scarred. It suddenly charges at you, but before you can react the cat lady appears and slices the beast with a teal lightsaber. She jumps back into the forest, disappearing again.
((We can train here or in the palace, it's up to you heart ))

((the palace, that way I can get interaction with some others xp also, this short post becuase I'm making another one there. ))
After watching the display, Grim mutters, " show off " before heading into the palace. Javelin in tow and taking his time as he walks.

Finally you reach the gates of the Golden City as the sun is setting.
We've been expecting you, says a tall gaunt woman. Come follow me.
She doesn't take you to the palace, but an inn outside the palace gates.
Get some rest for the night. We will have clothes for you in the morning. Make yourself presentable and then go to the palace. Tell the guards who you are and they will grant you entry.
She then swishes out of the room gracefully, almost floating. You are feeling quite tired and have a hunch you will get a good nights rest.
