Event 1: Town of Markry destroyed!

It has been reported that a small village off the coast of the fire nation has been devastated.
No one knows how or why it was destroyed let alone who's responsible for the atrocity. News has spread to your village and upon hearing it many know that the agitation caused could mean another war if not dealt with promptly. Your village council agrees, this must be investigated as soon as possible and sends you and your team (as well as possibly others) to gather information.

Notes:
Any rank member may join in. If your weak (genin level), you are stressed that this is an information gathering journey only, that you are to avoid confrontation if at all possible
(though whether you follow this advice or not is up to you).

Stage1:
Traveling to the village will take 200lines, remember your crossing the sea in some fashion as well when you do this. Note also that other players you see there "might" have been responsible as far as you know, so be careful around others as there is no limits on who can fight others in this event (though you may be eliminating possible allies as well should something pop up).
(First 100 lines should be in the country you left from, the second 100 should be here.)


Quote:
Stage 2:

-As You Arrive-
You arrive on the small island town to find the docks deserted and a disturbing quite crossing the wind, no sound of town folk going about there business, no birds tweeting in the tree tops, and most unsettling of all no sign of a struggle. It appears as if everyone simply up and left in the middle of the night, and yet the only way out, a series of large boats, remain at dock tied down to prevent being carried away by the ocean's tide.
The town within is just as quite with no presence of any sort of life or chakra signatures. The town itself is built around a large forest, the farms moved inland to be protected from the harsh winds on the shores and abundance of rock not found inland.
(You are, however, only to search the town itself, not the inland in this step.)

---What to do---
Explore the town seeking any sign of life (you will find none). You may make a search check (Int(x2) + Jutsu/Item + Buffs) vs 300 once you've rp'd out 50 lines.
You may make a second search check at 100 lines, another failure means you may make another search check at 200 lines, you may make no further checks. Note you don't have to make all the checks, one will suffice if you wish but the more you make the more you may learn.
(Note, Jutsu/Item usable as "search checks" are logically anything that would enhance your senses, possibly a small summon that could help you search for clue's (nothing large as that would just make a mess and likely make it harder to find clues), etc.)

Succeeding a search check allows you to find some broken plates, fallen buckets of water noting that while there may not have been a struggle it appears that anyone that did leave suddenly dropped whatever they where currently doing and left.

Succeeding a search check by 20% or more allows you to notice a disturbance on the towns church towers rooftop (higher than anyone not trained with ninja skills could reach without substantial effort). A few tiles are cracked as if at least a few hundred pounds where placed on them.

Succeeding a search check by 40% or more allows you to notice that all footsteps come to a sudden stop, begging the question how did people leave if by all tracks known they should have been still standing where their footprints ended.

......Note......
It is likely that you may run into other groups while here. The town is able to sustain a population of nearly 800 so it's small, but big enough that you "could" theoretically avoid each other. However with no one else present it would be difficult to not draw attention should you make any noise.
In fact no animals are even present, bugs, people, rats, birds, all seem to have vanished equally.


Quote:
Stage 3:

-That Sinking Feeling-
As you search the town a sudden burst of heavy Chakra is near by. Anyone capable of spotting Chakra (Hyuuga) can see it very clearly coming from the inside of a mountain in the distance.
(Note people you can't "sense" chakra unless you have an ability that lets you do so, this isn't dragon ball z)
Otherwise you can see a large light in the distance and feel the ground rumble for a moment as if some sort of large explosion went off inland. A plume of smoke rises from one of the larger mountains where the explosion came from, as ash and debree begin to pellet the town.
(Post 100 lines to get to the mountain. This can be dodging debree, speeding through the forest, etc)

---Arriving at the mountain---
As you arrive at the mountains edge you see a large mine shaft entry way that appears to have collapsed during the explosion.
(If anyone tries to scale the mountain, the top has a crater. It's fairly apparent that there was some sort of implosion, but that the rubble caved back in making it nigh impossible to enter from where the hole was created).

The air feels heavier the closer you get to the mountain, as if some powerful Jutsu has been unleashed and the air hangs heavy with the Chakra used to unleash it, making it thick and on the verge of painful to move through.

---Interact---
It will be fairly unavoidable to not run into others here as there is only one entrance to the mine shaft.
You might have to work together to find a way to get it open.

Either way, it will take a check of:
(Statx2 + Jutsu/Item Accuracy + Buffs) vs 500!
You may attempt this more than once, however you must post 50 lines per attempt. Raw power of damage won't help (thus the check) because the attack needs to be accurate and powerful, powerful enough to blow a hole, but accurate enough to not cause another cave in once it does.


Quote:
Stage 4:
The mine shaft bursts open as a breath of air carrying the heavy scent of blood and corpses fills your nostrils.

Inside you can hear the sound of chanting, and along the tunnel path are the clear signs of at least three or four peoples foot prints. Within you can see that the mineshaft was artificially collapsed with explosive kunai, the remnants of which are scattered several meters into the mine.

---Arriving at the center of it all---
Once you arrive at the center of the mine you see a large tunnel, and even more frightening is a large worm like creature constructed of the corpses of what you can only assume is the missing townfolk. Along the walls are etched many kanji representing something similar to the thunder god technique, though with some sort of alteration that targets something other than the Jutsu's user, the writing is arcane enough that you can't quite figure it out however.
Three men stand along side constructed platforms on the caves walls surrounding the beast at 3 points. Each is apparently lost in holding a seal with their hands, chanting something and deaf to the outside world as they seem to have not reacted to your presence nor the sound of the tunnels blockage collapsing.

---The Fight---
As soon as you arrive in the mine shaft the giant corpse like demon worm starts lashing out, it's tail slamming around and cracking stone in the cave walls.
You may make special combat posts here. These posts do not flow like normal combat, instead they will be a series of checks.
The first of which is a dodge.

Make a dodge check of: Agilityx2 + Dodge buff's vs 100
...If you fail roll a Staminax2 + Resilience buff's vs 100 and make a dodge check again after.
Failing the Resilience check by 1-20% means you suffer -50 to all future rolls this stage of the event. Failing by 21-50% means you suffer bleed out and thus must immediately make a second check with the difficulty increased by 50 (standard as shown below).
Failing by 51-80% means you're knocked out. A successful medicate check vs the difficulty of the resilience checks you had to make will make you conscious again but will not reset the difficulty of these checks. To make a medicate check a player may forgo their own attack (see attacking below).
Failure by 81% or more means you die!
(Every one of these resilience checks made after the first has their difficulty increased by 50)
...If you succeed the dodge you may immediately make an attack check vs 200.
Success grants +1 hit per 20% succeeded by. (so if you had a 50% chance, rolling 30 = 2 hits.)

To break it down:
+Make a dodge check:
If successful make an attack (or a medicate check)
If failed make a resilience.

Repeat the dodge check+after check until you are unconscious, dead, or stage 5 begins.

You needn't take turns with other players on this, so have fun =D

---Begin Stage 5---
Once the worm creature reaches 15 hits stage 5 will begin. Keep track of these hits as they're scored.



Quote:
Stage 5:

---Why won't it die?!---
As you and the other nin around you continue to hammer away at the creature it becomes quickly apparent you're having little to no effect on the creature as corpses once destroyed mend themselves, picking up fallen body parts as the monstrosity moves across them with it's writhing motions and assimilates the pieces back into it's bulbous form.

(Upon use of any sort of ability such as Byakugen you can see that there is a direct link between the three chanting strangers along the caverns walls and the beast itself. They seem to be aiding it, in fact they seem to be making it stronger and quickly so as if the jutsu that brought the beast into existence has yet to end. If you don't have an ability such as this, you can logically assume that they must have something to do with the beasts summoning and thus as such are likely what's keeping it going)

---Continuing the Fight!---
You have two options now, continue to widdle down the worm so that it's strength doesn't continue to rise quite as rapidly.
OR
Fight the 3 nin that seem to be fueling the beast hoping that by stopping them you'll be able to stop that which they control.
Either way you now take turns as you would in normal combat, however this is still test based combat (that's what the event is hammering into peoples heads after all, how to do tests like this)
Players will go in order of how they arrived in the last stage so:
ssAntonio
Don Shazo
Demonic_Rifleman
darklord_avalon
ele360
comeplay
---Worm Best (always goes last)
If anyone shows up that didn't in the last event, they will be added to the last of the list (but before the worm) as normal in combat.

.......Choosing the Beast......
The beast is getting stronger.
Every round it will attack whomever has scored the most hits on it since it's last turn. If no one has, it will attack whoever is first in the initiative (sorry Antonio lol).
This is any defensive check you want to make, dodge, or a counter vs 200.
Hitting the beast is your attack vs 200
The best must be hit at least 5 times each round or the vs for it's hit and it's defense will increase by +50 each!
Hitting it more than 5 times will do nothing extra.
As normal, any time you succeed a hit for every 20 you succeed by you score +1 hit.

If you are hit by the beast, you make a resilience check vs 100 + 10 for every 1% you failed your defense by.
Failure by 1-20 = -10% to all remaining checks this stage.
Failure by 21-50 = -10% to all remaining checks this stage and you loose your next turn.
Failure by 51-80 = unconsciousness
Failure by 81-100 = death

.......Choosing the Strangers......
When attempting to strike the strangers you quickly collide with a powerful invisible barrier that each seems to have covering their body.
You may make an attack roll vs 200.
Success scores 1 hit, every 30% more you succeed by scores an extra hit. 10 hits kills the target.

Once all 3 of them are down, the worm will no longer strengthen.
It's hits will be set to 0, and once 20 more hits are accumulated on it, it will die.



Quote:
Prizes:
Below each stage will rewards a prize for completing it. If you didn't' complete a stage then you don't get the prize linked to that stage, that simple.

---Stage 1 Prize---
If you achieved a total of 400 lines in this stage (200 getting to the island and 200 following).
You will gain +500 stamina (ie +5 stat points to stamina)

---Stage 2 Prize---
If you made at least one check you gain +2 to a Intelligence. For every clue you figured out "if" you succeeded any of the checks, you gain +2 more to Intelligence per clue (up to 6 obviously since there where only 3 clues).

---Stage 3 Prize---
If you posted the 100 lines to get to the mountain you gain +5 Agility.
If you broke the barrier covering the cave you will get +3 to strength or seal strength depending on what you used to break it. (Ie if you used a jutsu / Item that used seal strength for damage you'd get a bonus to seal strength, if you used normal strength for damage such as from taijutsu, then you'd gain the bonus to normal strength).

---Stage 4 Prize---
If you made at least once successful attack or dodge during this phase you gain +4 Toughness and +4 Agility.

---Stage 5 Prize---
If you scored at least 1 hit on the worm during this phase you will gain +3 stat points to apply as you please, if you scored at least 1 hit on the summoners during this phase, you will gain +3 stat points to apply as you please.

---Stage 6 Prize---
If you scored at least 1 hit during this phase you will gain +2000 chakra (ie +20 stat points). If you dealt the killing blow you will receive +5 stat points to apply as you please.

((100 lines have been done in wind, so the next 100 are here then for my group))

Oasis followed the nomads around the village for a good long while during Hatsuma's talk with the elder, she wandered a bit as she looked at the interesting design that nomads used for their buildings they were obviously made in a portable fashion. Before too awful long, or at least what seemed to not have been too long for Oasis the group was lead off in a caravan headed out of the desert. Oasis sat remarkably quietly in the vehicle as it moved along the desert sands. No one knew it but Oasis got fairly bad motion sickness while in a moving vehicle. So she sat with her legs tight together her elbows resting on her legs and her face held up by her hands. She was excited to see these new lands, but she wasn't able to see much from inside of the vehicle as it moved along. She groaned softly a few times as she looked up out the window, but that was a bad idea, and her face went pale and she looked down at the floor again. "are we there yet Hatsuma, or nomad guys?" she questions as she sighed heavily. It was going to be a long ride in the vehicle followed by another fairly long boat ride, she wasn't looking forward to that either, she had never been on a boat, but she figured it couldn't be any better than in this cart thing. Oasis looked up in Hatsuma's direction wondering if she was the only one that felt like she was right now. "Guh... Hatsuma... how are you fairing?" she questions quietly as she looked up at her friend and then ventured a look at Fuyu. She hated the feeling of the earth moving but she knew she was sitting still, it made all of her senses rebel. Oasis groaned again and rocked from side to side lightly. "...are we there yet..." she groaned again having not waited for any answers really.

Fuyu continued to follow Oasis and Hatsuma around until they got to the elders tent. That was when Hatsuma left the group and the rest of them continued to wander with the nomads. He just continued to follow the sounds of the footsteps. His eye cloth was starting to pick up sand again so he closed his eyes and took the cloth off of his eyes, flicked it so all the sand would fall off and then re-wrapped it around his eyes. It didn't take long but it took long enough that the ground had moved about a block and a half. It was a moment longer before they were back at the elders tent with Hatsuma already outside. She stated that she and the rest of them had permision to follow that mission. It was good that they could help find her step father, but there was this nagging sence in the back of Fuyu's head telling him that this could end up being bad. He was going to go though since both Hatsuma and Oasis seemed to be ready for this in spirit.
After a while, everyone was in a cart which was moving across the sands and lands. The veiw wasn't something to waste his sight on yet but it sure was enough for him to sit outside on the top of the cart and meditate while it moved. While he continued to meditate, He could hear Oasis not doing so well. "Sorry Oasis, we've still got a ways to go. Best thing is just to try and enjoy the air and try not to get sick..." At this moment, his cloth was off his eyes, and his eyes were open, but staring blankly into the world with the darkend redness that they had since birth.
PostPosted: Thu May 06, 2010 11:36 pm


Oasis groaned again lightly and looked up at the roof of the cart. Hatsuma may not be answering her questions currently, likely her partner was just thinking about what she could say in response to her question. "doesn't help..." she groaned lightly as she folded in half and sighed heavily, however after what must have been a lifetime she took notice of a drastic change in environment, she could smell it, it smelled very very different from home so she managed to lift her head up and look out the window, while it didn't make her motion sickness any better it was the first time she had ever seen what she was seeing now. The vehicle was passing through a strange land of great wooden giants, and green carpets of grass. She hadn't seen these things in person before, her father had told her about such things sure, but she hadn't seen them. It was also amazing the amount of water she could sense all around her. She moved over and propped herself on the window sill and stared out at the moving trees and sweet smelling grasses. She still felt like she was going to blow chunks, but she was caught up enough in her amazement that she was feeling a little better "guh... Wow, I-I've never seen anything... urhg, like it." she states as she looked at the plant life. She was used to seeing cacti or other odd desert flora so this was really something else to her. Oasis was only lazily taking in the sights when something small darted across the grass catching Oasis attention suddenly, her eyes followed it so that she could make out what the thing was. It was small, mostly round, long ears, and the whole thing covered in fur. She blinked a few times "...Whats that... thing with the long ears?" she questions pointing at it, though that wasn't a good idea and she slumped over leaning somewhat out the window which put her vision down at the ground which did not help her any. Her eyes bugged for a moment before she squeezed her eyes shut and groaned loudly.

"We are going to be entering fire country soon. The caravan will be ending at the ferry." the nomad driving the cart states as they came to a fork in the road and it turned gently to the left following the fork in the road into fire country. The water was a good distance away still however Oasis perked up a little bit when she realized that she could sense a massive body of water approaching, it was more water than she had ever felt before EVER.

The ship carrying Phaeton, Aya, and the various crew pulled up to the dock. To say that this was an eerie place was the understatement of the century. Phaeton clasped his medical pack to his waist, did the clasp that fastened them to his thighs, grabbed his pack of provisions, and put on his glasses. Immediately, he closed his eyes. He was using the Mind's Eye of the Kaguras technique. He breathed in sharply, as he realized that there was nothing.......ABSOLUTELY no chakra signatures. This had to be wrong. There were no animals, no bugs, not even the tiniest flicker of chakra besides Aya, the shipmates, and the Captain. He sensed them perfectly, but the rest of this place was empty. The Captain and the shipmates stirred uneasily. It was clear that, while Aya and Phaeton would most likely have a healthy amount of fear at a situation like this, they could logically defend themselves whereas normal people with no ninja skills logically could not. They almost seemed to be throwing Aya and Phaeton off of the ship so that they could get away. Phaeton looked at them, but he paid the man and held back the money for the return trip. After all, it was foolish to assume this man would come back without proper motivation. Phaeton now began to walk off the ship telling the Captain to wait for them or, at the very least, wait until the end of the day before leaving. Also, he gave explicit instructions to check on them in a few days should Aya and they become separated or should the Captain and crew give into their cowardice. He figured that would be more than enough time to investigate what was going on in this little town and even to see if anything was out of place or negatively affecting the environment. At first glance, considering lack of fire or any wanton destruction, it appeared as though everyone had simply left the little Village, but the idea was silly considering he was standing near a few boats. Well, if the captain deserted them, Aya and he would not be completely screwed. However, as he continued walking, he saw more than just a few boats. He was intrigued. There was no way anyone left via boat. He turned back to see if Aya was following him. He waited until she was near and decided he needed another sensor on this mission. Her byakugan would be invaluable, but he needed someone who would be able to sense the danger just as he could. He would teach her his technique.

"Aya, I need another sensor who has good range. Your byakugan should be good, but we will also need some tracking in case we come across any.....fast signatures." Phaeton began explaining the basics of the skill, how you closed your eyes to gfet in touch with your normal chakra sense and expand it. Technically, it was "opening the Mind's Eye". However, he hoped she was a quick study because something told him they would need to apply their skills soon.

How does one make a powercheck or search check?
PostPosted: Fri May 07, 2010 5:19 pm


Quote:
@Yumemaboroshi:
Just like one would make any other check.
You look at the things that factor in (shown in first post) Intx2+Jutsu+Buff's

The jutsu would be anything that would help you search (Hieghtened senses, perhaps clones, etc), and buffs would be anything that would buff your ability to search (ie awareness buffs, should have called this an awareness check but messed up, not that it matters much).
You accumulate your total (lets say for this example it's 200) and you compaire it to the vs (in this case 300).

You reduce the vs from your total (which becomes -100).
Lop off the last digit (giving you -10).
Normally you have a 50% chance to do anything, modify it then by what remains (50-10 = 40). You must roll equal to or under that number, in essence meaning you roll 1D100 die, and if you roll 40 or under you succeed.

"you should stand on your head...for your motion sickness..." Hatsuma stated simply stating something that was rumored to help with the condition. the scenery quickly began to shift outside from the golden colors of the desert to splashes of green and other vibrant colors. Hatsuma spotted the small creature darting about the field's grasses. it obviously peaked Oasis' interest as she question what it was.
"from the books that my village has I can only guess that it's a rabbit." Hatsuma answered calmly this being the most talkative she'd been the whole time. The driver spoke up and Hatsuma nodded to him and stood up. She went to a ladder and climbed it peaking her head up through a hole in the top of the cart. The scenery quickly became that of forests rather then the grass fields.
"it'll be about another hour before we reach the checkpoint. there are other members of tribe there that will travel with you all on the ferry." the driver explained to the three his eyes remaining on the road as he spoke.

Fuyu sighed as Oasis continued to moan and kinda whine about how she was feeling. It was more the un-intentional but still kinda annoying whining, but it couldn't be helped. With himself being blind, Fuyu had acutally become kinda immune to motion sickness as his eyes couldn't make him think that he was staying still while moving. In any event, he wasn't the slightest bit sick. He was mostly just tired but not wanting to sleep or nap right at this moment. He was keeping his sences about him not sure what to expect. After a while, the harsh and dry winds of the dessert lifted from his face and a cooler, and calmer breeze pushed against his face. It was a pleasent change from where he was born. The air smelt fresher, more full of life as the surrounding became less and less dessert. It wasn't much longer until they were in forestry area. This area left him with a bitter sweet feeling. He didn't want to risk hurting his eyes so all the other sences could embrase this new surroundings but he couldn't in full. He continued to try and meditate on the top of the caravan, but mostly just to keep his mind sharp. He could hear Hatsuma speaking up finally to Oasis, trying to fix what ailed her. He didn't know of the remidy that she stated to work or not work, but it was deffenately Oasis's style. He took a deep breath and continued to stay in silence for a while longer. New animals came into play, a ribbit? not a clue what it looked like but knew that it was a herbavour. It was shortly after when the driver explained what was going to be happening. They were arriving at there destination and getting ready to start there search of Hatsuma's lost step father. It was going to be interesting to see if they could work as a team on something so important, since they'd just become a team let alone just meet eachother that day or the day before....

Oasis slid in from the window sill and slumped into her seat. "Stand... on my head?" she questions curiously as she looked at her partner, it was exceptionally hard to believe. However with how she felt, she was just about ready to try anything so she flipped over in her seat and sat upside down with her feet against the wall. She groaned lightly and then nodded "...Fun sittin like this... doesn't seem to help..." she states quietly as she hung her arms down below her head. "...Rabbit... long eared, four legged furry critter..." she muses quietly as she thought about it for a while. "I haven't seen such a thing, before." she states quietly as she closed her eyes "hehe... it... looked really cute." she cooed waving her hands from side to side lightly across the surface of the wooden floor. "...hour..." she groaned slowly as she looked around from her upside down perspective, a grin showed on her face, even though she felt sick from the motion, and maybe didn't understand why she felt sick however she knew that she did and it didn't make her happy, but the upside down perspective was kind of entertaining. "...How long till an hour..." she groans quietly and slumped her shoulders some draping her arms across the hard wood floor. She closed her eyes groaning gently as she heard the sound of the moving vehicle. After a fair bit of time she fell asleep side down like that, she started to snore lightly from the position.

Since the moment he felt the syringe pierce his neck in the desert, Notwen had been in a world or never-ending pain. His body felt as if it had been dunked in a vat of boiling water. He couldn't move his limbs at all and no sound came from his voice box.
Notwen's body was floating over a sea of agony. In his plane of sight he saw three hideous creatures looming above him. They were cackling madly, their hot saliva splashing all over him. What was left of his subconscious thoughts wondered how long this hell would last.

On the shores of the mysteriously empty island, Soba sat around a fire, watching his pupil. Notwen had been wrapped in blankets and lain close to the fire. A troubled frown spread across his face. That idiot! stressed What tempted him to throw ice at Sai in the first place? Then he remembered the wall of ice that surrounded him, and the pain that went through his abdomen before he lost consciousness. He now looked down at the bandages that were wrapped expertly around the wound's area. There was no pain.
He turned towards the purple-haired man and the boy he was with, who were a few feet away.
"Lord Sai, I take responsibility for my pupil's actions. We had no intention of fighting you."

Hatsuma remained quiet for the remainder of the trip to the ferry as the sun slowly began to reach the peak of the sky. After some time the cart came to an abrupt stop and the sound of moving water could be heard outside the carriage. Hatsuma who had sat down once more stood and reached for the door before the driver even had the chance to announce their arrival to the coast.

"Everyone out." the driver stated in a rather cold tone. though the area seemed peaceful the accompanying nomadic shinobi were now on edge and quite a bit more serious then before; in fact they were perhaps more on par wit Hatsuma's standard disposition then anyone else.

Hatsuma stepped out of the carriage and instinctively wrapped her arms around her self. The air here was indeed cleaner feeling on the breath however it was considerably cooler then their native country almost to the point of it being cold. "This area looks nice..." Hatsuma stated rather out of character being that she normally analyzed things strategically rather then aesthetically. The line stretched off as long the horizon in either direction, the sand that lined the beach was not unlike that of the deserts though considerably more damp. The greenery they had seen prior was separated from the sand by familiar looking stones that were seen in wind country. In fact the only features that seemed unique here was the increased greenery. There was likely many more unique things here then Hatsuma realized however she only took it for face value at the time. In the water resting on the shore partially was flat bottomed sea faring ferry, likely their transport across the ocean to the target island in which her father traveled to investigate.

Hatsuma gave a wave to the nomads who had been with her on the way here but were traveling back to the village now before turning about and heading towards the ferry not bothering to wait for the other two to come along as they seemed opt to stick to Hatsuma like some kind of paste.

-Before Arrival-

Sai pressed his hand to the back of his neck, his fingers firmly squeezing the muscles that rested there, as a heavy sigh pushed through his lips. For the last few hours he had been flying through the hot skies that laid over the desert, the rest of his company either peacefully napping or unconscious in a much less pleasant matter.

It was a bit weird and aggravating to be traveling with such a large party, the size too eerily reminding him of what a normal shinobi squad held. Something he seriously wanted to put past him. He was definitely done with all the teams and missions and such that he use to deal with in the past... and for that very reason he needed to decide what he was going to do with the two passengers that were currently in his hostile care. From what he had gathered during the time he had pretended to sleep, the younger one was Notwen and the older one was Soba.

The former of the two was reckless, young, obviously an academy graduate, knew his history, and also knew too much about Sai. On that last fact, they both knew too much about him. How they were able to identify him so easily from just looking at him, and not only that but also his dragon... It quite possibly been to long of a while since Sai had returned to an academy building or let alone checked out the current news. But it was obvious that his name, face, and certain facts about him were being circulated and that was not something he was in favor of.

All the fame and glory could be kept by the young and fool hearty, he wanted something that would be attained a lot easier without that. But those thoughts were irrelevant to him right now. What he needed to keep in mind was the fact that he still needed to decide what to do with these two and further more know what some say he was the cause of in this s**t village in the middle of no where.

With a sigh he turned in his seat between Voir's shoulder blades and looked at the three that were with him. For now he would leave alive. The pair might prove useful to him, if not then he'll kill them but if they were useful... Yea, if they were useful he would allow them to live and hopefully find some more use of them in the future...

-Present Time/After Arrival-

Sai sighed lightly as he sat across the fire from Soba, his eyes watching Notwen writhe in pain with a slight look of amusement playing across them. Laid across his lap was a strange blade that was nonetheless the powerful and large storm dragon, Voir, in his weapon state. It was a nifty trick he had picked up during his training with his sensei Nara Vaun when he was younger. It required a powerful control over his chakra, his dragon and his dragon's chakra to do so but after the years he had finally mastered it.

Glancing up from Notwen sheepishly, Sai watched Soba with a blank look as though he was merely some random child that had approached him only to say something incredibly stupid. Taking a moment, he allowed his eyes to shift and look at Vyrin. The boy was resting peacefully against his shoulder, his mouth slightly ajar. The sight almost made him chuckle, the boy was pretending to sleep just like he did and was even more convincing at it as well from the way he easily made such a humiliating face.

Sighing he turned his sights back to Soba. "Hm... Don't call me by my first name. It's Orasakai to you." Sai said simply before slipping from beneath Vyrin; the boy's body easily keeping the position despite how odd it looked without anything propping him up. With a few simple strides he made his way to Notwen. Pressing the back of his hand against his forehead for a moment, the man shook his head and retrieved a small vial of liquid from his belt before gently pressing it against the boy's lips and tilting his head to allow it to flow down his throat.

"That should counter act the poison quickly..." Sai said softly as he rose up and turned to look back at Soba, "Now... Do realize the only reason why either of you two are alive right now is all coincidental. Whether you continue to live or not is all up to how capable you are of completing the tasks I give you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Orasaki." answered Soba with great relief. He let out the tense breath he had held since he first approached the man.

After what seemed like an eternity, Notwen's frenzied hallucinations began to subside and be replaced by a sour-bitter taste. The burning left his body and the movement returned tho his limbs. Those creatures that were looming over him shrunk and became Soba, Sai and the youth that traveled with him. He tried to raise himself, but instantly became sick and retched the contents of his stomach on the sand beside him. Soba was at his side in a second.
"Don't try movin' just yet, N, you've been under the influence of poison for a few hours."
"I'm sorry, Soba-sensei. I should have listened-" Notwen managed to utter a few words before he was overcome by the physical and mental fatigue caused by his body trying to fight off the poison. He was soon snoring quietly. Soba couldn't help but to smile at this. Too tired to snore like a cornered boar, he thought to himself. Soba let out a long yawn. He had been looking after Notwen ever since he regained consciousness a few hours earlier. He sank sleepily on the sandy ground close to where his pupil lay. In a few minutes he too was soundly asleep.

As the rid continued, Fuyu felt a bump. Yet the cart never hit anything. He thought for a moment and thusly realized that it was Oasis doing what Hatsuma had suggested. "Hey Oasis, next time try not to kick the roof alright? I'm still out here." He said in a slightly jesterly mannor. He didn't really mean it, hell he didn't mind the kick as it woke his sences up again. He continued to meditate up there, listening mainly to what was happening below him. During Oasis's speach, he listened to her describe a rabbit and used his imagination to form idea's on what it looked like. None of the images came close though even though he had no idea of that. Again, more whining came from Oasis as it was stated that she needed to wait for another hour for her hell to be over. As the time when on, he was finally able to finish his meditation as Oasis slept and snored.

Almost without warning, everything stopped moving which sent him learching forwards and off the roof of the cart. Fuyu was lucky enough that he woke up five minutes before this happened so he was able to tuck and roll to prevent any damage to his body. He stood up quickly and heard the cart door open. Hatsuma was the first to get out and realized that they must have already made it to the ferry. After Hatsuma passed him, he followed keeping his ears perked in this new land. Once on the ferry he went over to the far end railing and just stood there, facing the water. The ride across water was surely going to be worse then the cart for Oasis, with the waves of the water and all. He waited and just looked outwards of the ferry into the ocean, lost in deep thoughts.

A few more hours had passed, and Oasis could finally breathe a sigh of releaf if she hadn't spewed already. The ride was over and they had finally made it to the shore of the village in question. It was odd though, all he could hear was Hatsuma, Oasis, and the ocean behind him once he got off the ferry. Something wasn't right, there should have been more noise and knew that both his teammates could help him understand what was going on right now.

((my count actually gives us 300 lines at your post if I counted correctly, I'm pretty sure its within a margin of error of about 5 lines anyway XD))

Oasis was woke suddenly by a heavy stop of the cart sending her crashing into the seat in front of her. She shouted something unintelligible before flipping and twisting around to get to her feet. It had stopped moving finally, and she felt a lot better already. She hopped out of the cart and wandered behind Hatsuma, very glad to be out of the monstrosity. However her happy mood would be crushed as she took note of a boat that they were headed towards. She shook her head and stopped in place "I'm not gettin on that thing." she states as she looked around at the sand that she was standing in, and at the amazing amount of water before her, there was no way she was going to miss seeing all of that water because some stupid moving thing made her sick. She looked around and finally noticed a rope on one of the docks. Oasis snatched up the rope and secured it around her midsection. "There this will work." she states as she waited for Hatsuma and Fuyu to board the vessel, she tied the rope to the boat and simply stood atop the water as it made its way to the island, this way she was not made to feel sick and she could look at all the water, which made for a good trip for her.
After what was a few hours, but felt way too short for Oasis the boat came to a stop, but she didn't and not having the foresight to think of it she crashed into the broad back end of the boat. With some further groaning she untied the rope from her waist and trotted along the side of the boat before reaching the land, a big grin on her face from the adventurous ride she had just been on, but it left quickly as she took note of a very quiet place. She had expected there to be some people here really, but there weren't any people at the docks at all. She went from an ecstatic elated energy to a quiet and curious expression. "Its really quiet Hatsuma, Fuyu... Something feels weird about it, unless they are all taking a nap somewhere..." she states quietly as she looked to her partners.
