01<@DeathStar> Date: Who knows. 4 days later
01<@DeathStar> Location: Matias Grasslands
01<@DeathStar> 6* Having left the forest, the group travels across the grasslands of Matias; the warm air blows along it, reminding them that summer is fast approaching. While not nearly as gorgeous as the forest, the grasslands have a tranquility about them
<Sera> * Kaelan walks along, a soft smile on her face as she feels the warm breeze. "Reminds me a little of Oas..."
<Sera> * Seth trudges along, taking his time to observe the countryside and skyline as they move along, on the lookut as usual.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I've never really been out here before. It's... different. 6* She murmurs thoughtfully. Mercy trudges along in her maid outfit, despite the heat, and lugging along supplies
<Sera> * Kaelan carries a fair share of the supplies as well, she gives Mercy a smile. "You alright with all that on?" *she herself has her blouse open, draped voer her breasts, but the tummy exposed, her armor on under her clothes, a small skirt hiding the bikini bottom.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile tosses her knife in hand, peering up at dark clouds forming along the skyline. "Storm is coming."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I am fine, Lady Kaelan. 6* She assures her, despite looking sweaty and tired
<Sera> * Seth muses, looking up at the clouds. "We'd better find some shelter."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I agree." 6She notes with Faile. 1"...It is hotter here than Oas..."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't see any shelter out here. There's not even that many trees.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Normally we would stop ahead of time and thatch leans... we don't have that amount of time. Do you see a river anywhere?
<Sera> * Seth frowns, considering this. "Perhaps just set up the tents then? A river?" *he looks about*
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> No; Valen is scouting about and said he'd come back if he found one
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma mewls, peering out of Kaelan's breasts, looking hungry
<Sera> * Kaelan pulls out some jerky and feeds him a little, giggling.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma chews on it happily, despite it being his 12th time so far in asking for food
<Eluere> <Zeal> That's pretty much our only hope. Digging at banks to make an overhang.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'd just sleep out here!
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'm sure you would, cheeky elf.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth adjusts her hair a little, peering about. "Are storms that bad?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Depends!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sleep out here with Valen maybe.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pauses, eyeing Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> A storm in an open grass area can be dangerous depending on the power of it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks innocently ahead
<Sera> Kaelan> "Mmm... perhaps Aschae could use that Earth magic to rig us up something?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Perhaps-- What an insult to the magic.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Possibly saving our lives with shelter is an insult to the magic?" *she blinks a bit*
01<@DeathStar> 6* The dark clouds begin to get closer and Soma droops into the cleaveage as if to hide
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about, then sees a cute bug, skipping after it
<Sera> * Seth frowns a little, he heads after Jean.
<Sera> * Kaelan blinks, she hugs her chest gently to comfort him and looks at the clouds. "Not good..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean moves into some tall grass, and Rachael frowns, just now noticing the grasslands' grass has been getting higher
<Sera> Kaelan> "Hey Jean! Wait up!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks up at the sky, almost fearfully and she looks about worriedly. Faile eyes her. "The maid is scared of rain?"
<Sera> * Seth moves into it after her.
<Sera> * Kaelan looks at Mercy, "You okay hon?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> Mercy, are you afraid of thunder?
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Seth moves in, a giant plant rises up under his feet and begins to swallow him whole, rising up above the tall grasslands; like a giant venus fly trap, this is known as a man-eater plant, and the sharp spiked 'teeth' of the mouth begin to close around Seth.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Y-Yes.... I was outside the castle once in a storm...it was cold...and ... scary...
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, peering back at Seth, having been holding the bug she caught.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> We have trouble; something is eating Seth. <Faile> Karma.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim springs forward and draws her knife out of her thigh, slashing at one of the sides of its mouth
<Sera> * Seth lets out a yelp and looks forward at Jean, he makes a dive for her.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I would suggest fire, sir hunter.
<Sera> * Kaelan drops her gear and grabs her sword. "That looks big."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Seth dives, the mout hcurves around him to keep him in, but it screams as Nephilim slashes, the entire plant jerking and making Seth twirl about in the mouth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy eyes the plant, freezing in horror at something like that, and thunder booms, and she drops her gear, hiding in the taller grass
<Sera> * Seth grumbles and tries to aim a fireball down it's throat.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Again, I would suggest fire." 6She chuckles, then eyes Jean and closes her eyes, drawing out of her, bringing her hands up and focusing on fire leylines to try and strike it.
<Sera> * Kaelan moves in and attempts to slash at it as well. Joining her attack and aiming for the spot Nephilim attacked.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth's fire works, Aschae's doesn't. The fire begins to burn the insides of the plant and it writhes more, screaming, and tossing Seth at Nephilim and KAelan
<Eluere> 6Nephilim flails before side-tackled by a flying Seth
<Sera> * Seth is tossed, landing on Neph and Kaelan thankful for so many pillows.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Eeep!"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Pity. Perhaps I should have Lenneth kiss her and it'd work.
<Eluere> 6Zeal releases an arrow finally, aiming for the inside of the mouth while it's writhing about.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth glances at Aschae, and Jean looks confused, then jerks as Kaelan and Nephilim get toppled over; she moves over to help them up
01<@DeathStar> 6* The arrow enters the plant's mouth and it jerks, falling over dead finally, smoking and burning until nothing remains but 50 gold
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Is Seth, Neph, and Kaelan okay?!
<Sera> * Seth helps Nephilim up.
<Sera> Kaelan> "I'm fine, he's light for a man."
<Sera> Seth> "I---"
01<@DeathStar> 6* By now the thunder clouds are over them, and thunder booms, and al ight rain begins to fall. Lenneth holds up her hands to let it fall on then, and looks up, the rain hitting her face
<Sera> * Kaelan looks around at the packs and blinks, "Mercy?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> So Jean could carry Seth!
01<@DeathStar> 6* There's no sign of Mercy
<Sera> Seth> I-I... there shouldn't be any need of that."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael rises up from some grass nearby. "Sorry, I was looking around; there's more of those plants everywhere, laying in the tall grass in wait."
<Sera> * Kaelan moves over towards the grass. "Mercy? You there sweetie?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> Lady Mercy..? Lady Mercy! Come here!
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Kaelan moves into the grass, a giant plant rises up to try to swallow her. Soma mewls in panic
<Eluere> 6Azhren sighs at the beast as it disintegrates, holding his arm over the top of Faile.
<Eluere> 6Zeal hurtles her hatchet into the side of the new one.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile turns to eye the next plant, tossing a knife at it's mouth as it lunges for Kaelan, injuring it, then twirls her chain, bashing it's side
<Sera> * Kaelan jerks back, swiping at it with her sword as she moves away from it.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ..." 6She scrambles over to pick up the gold, then picks up the rear.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The hatchet strikes, as well as the sword, and green fluid sprays from the wounds as the plant screams
<Sera> Kaelan> "...M-Mercy!? Where are you!?" *she panics, worried a plant might have gotten her*
<Eluere> 6Zeal makes a face as she moves over to retrieve her hatchet. 1"Lady Mercy!!"
<Sera> * Seth frowns. "Jean, feel out for Mercy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* A thunderous boom drowns out their voices momentarily and the rain picks up. Rachael frowns and JEan looks about, focusing, then points in a direction. "Mercy that way."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> She's scared.
<Sera> * Kaelan begins to head that way, carefully this time, watching for more plants.
<Sera> * Seth nods. "Right... we'd better get to her and keep together at the same time."
<Sera> * Seth grins to Jean. "Stick by me, alright darlin?" *he pulls out his bow*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile reaches into the plant to get her knife back and Jean hurries into the lead, moving through tall grass and vanishing from sight a bit. Rachael frowns and hurries
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth looks around, then moves with the group through the tall grass, which makes it harder to see each other, even a few feet away, and the rain picks up, making the visibility decrease more.
<Sera> * Seth moves after her, Kaelan joining her having already been on the way.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim picks up more gold if there's any, then tags behind. Azhren tilts his head to peer at Faile, sticking with her while Zeal runs after Jean with a knife in one hand and the hatchet in the other, her bow slung over the shoulder.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile frowns at the storm picking up and tosses her chain onto Azhren's hand so they can't get separated. As Seth and Kaelan travel with Jean, the rain begins to make it hard to see her, and Nephilim would find herself alone with Rachael as well, and Aschae with Lenneth, and so on.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> This is getting bad - and the rain's cold. 6* She mutters, then shouts out, trying to find the others through voice
<Sera> * Seth shouts out, "Try to keep hold of someone else!" *he grabs Jean's and Kaelan's asses*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth would find no Jean butt, instead grabbing only Kaelan's, and ... Aschae's.
<Sera> * Kaelan eeps.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Though Seth can still feel, as any who use the mark, Jean's presence only a few feet ahead.
<Eluere> 6Aschae tilts her head eerily toward Seth with a smile.
<Sera> * Seth squeezes both a little for comfort.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lennet peers at Seth coldly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a plant rises up a few feet ahead of them where Jean was at, and they can see part of Mercy's maid outfit in it's mouth, as well as Jean partially in it, flailing
<Sera> Kaelan> "Just lock onto Jean... shit."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael points at the plant as it rises up and drags Nephilim. Faile eyes it, but doesnt hurry, instead looking for more plants
<Eluere> 6Azhren looks paranoid at this point, much the same as Faile eyeing their path.
<Sera> * Seth frowns, "We need to be careful, it looks like it's started to eat Mercy and it's got Jean. Be wary of cutting our maid."
<Eluere> 6Aschae turns forward and frowns, bringing her hands out and tapping into the earth. 1"Enough, flora of the earth, bend to its will or return to it indefinitely."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> It's got Angie, Rach." 6She pouts, then ponders. 1"Um, worth a try..
01<@DeathStar> 6* The plant seems to freak as the earth coffin closes around it and drops Jean, struggling; it's mouth is empty of any Mercys though, even as Jean lands with a grunt, looking dazed. As Rachael hurries, a plant snags her legs, and she's jerked upside down by a vine and another man-eater
01<@DeathStar> 6* A vine whips out for Nephilim, and Faile jerks, peering about as two more man-eaters rise up around them. Even Lenneth looks about, frowning
<Sera> * Seth aims his bow at the vine on Rachael and fires for it.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim makes a face, then brings her hands out, loudly proclaiming a song not too unlike a lullaby, but without the effect of drowsiness.
<Eluere> 6Aschae closes her hands, not having mercy on the plant despite what she said aloud.
<Sera> * Kaelan clutches her sword and slashes out at the vine after Nephilim.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The vine is hit and Rachael drops. One of the plant monsters seems to lull, while another wraps around Aschae as she kills 1 of the 4.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The lulling monster screams as it's vine is cut
<Eluere> 6Aschae shifts and slams the end of her staff down on the vine getting too friendly with her
<Sera> * Seth hurls a fireball at it when it screams.
<Eluere> <Aschae> My advice is not to irritate me further fly-eater.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The vine is hurt and lets go; lightning strikes one monster, frying it. Jean rises, frowning, and Rachael gets up, using a gale burst to knock another one's vines away
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth burns the monster away that was affected by the song
01<@DeathStar> 6* So far 150 gold is on the ground, 50 in each spot. The last fly-eater begins to duck down in the highgrass, vanishing from sight
<Eluere> 6Nephilim's eyes light up as she saw an effect anyway and changes tunes to something a little more courage-inspiring.
<Sera> * Kaelan moves over to Jean, gaurding her, shield and sword ready as she eyes where the last one was.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean can't feel Mercy---may be unconscious...
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean holds her head, glancing about with a frown at the high grass. Rachael shivers, drenched, her breasts practically visible through her top. "How many are out there?"
<Eluere> 6Zeal looses her hatchet toward the one that's starting to hide
<Sera> Seth> "Which way did you feel her last?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zeal strikes one and it screamsa, thrashing a bit above the grass line.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Not sure---
<Sera> * Seth aims his arrow at the thrashing monster and fires.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But Jean think there is many more nearby---many, many more...
<Eluere> 6Zeal closes in on it and drives her butterfly knife into it.
<Sera> * Kaelan looks anxious. "We need to find her before they do!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monster is hit by the arrow, green gunk spewing from it's body, then Zeal does it in, dropping another 50 gold. 200 lay about
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> What manner of beasts are these?
<Eluere> 6Nephilim ends her song as the last visible one dies down, scrambling to pick up money. 1"It's a perfect habitat!"
<Sera> Seth> "Man Eaters."
<Eluere> <Aschae> They're called Man-Eaters. Quite common around untamed plains since they blend so well with the grass. They're not often found in cooler lands or places with people for obvious reasons.
02* Eluere (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
03* Eluere (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #Session83
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Disturbing; is there a mother plant that breeds them all? 6* She asks, peering about, as Neph begins to get 200 gold
<Eluere> <Aschae> They're called Man-Eaters. Quite common around untamed plains since they blend so well with the grass. They're not often found in cooler lands or places with people for obvious reasons.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'm surprised they're here given that elves live closeby, however.
<Sera> Seth> "Something like that, probably."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'm not sure, actually. Although it wouldn't be surprising if there were a source that spreads airborne seed.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Come on Mercy... wake up... please..."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim giggles to herself, pocketing coins. 1"Jeanie, where's Mercy? You can't feel her?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean sorry---no.
<Sera> * Seth looks over the one that had Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It's all crushed now
<Eluere> 6Zeal frowns, moving about to find bent grass forming trails or any sign of Mercy's carried belongings.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael shivers, rubbing her arms. "Well, what should we do, fan out to try to find her?"
<Sera> * Seth pays it no mind assuming he finds no Mercy sized lumps in it.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'd advise against that. See how many it takes of us to fell one?
01<@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no tracks of Mercy, as if she just vanished. As they're talking, vines wrap around Rachael's legs and yank her into the ground, forming a hole that begins to cover up.
<Sera> Seth> "We'll all be dinner if we do. RACH!"
<Sera> * Kaelan tries to grab for her to pull her back.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaelan grabs air and the hole is half-closed
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth blinks in surprise, peering about for more vines that may leap up, and Jean fumbles to grab a knife, looking about fierecely to find who's taking her friends. Faile frowns
<Eluere> 6Nephilim chants rhythymically, driving her fire-sewn knife into the ground
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nephilim stabs ground. the hole fills in.
<Sera> Kaelan> "D-Damnit!"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> .... Rachael is below us...can feel her. <Lenneth> Then there must be hallow ground under us - perhaps the man-eaters use it
<Eluere> <Aschae> I believe this answers our inquiry." 6Zeal stares wide-eyed. 1"How--" 6Aschae brings her hands out and tries to divide the earth where they just saw Rachael go
<Sera> Seth> "...It's possible Mercy was also taken below."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Rachael.." 6She hisses, stabbing the ground over and over.
<Sera> * Kaelan joins Nephilim's attempt to dig.
01<@DeathStar> * Aschae's magic crushes open the hole again and Jean leaps in without thought. Lenneth tenses and jumps down after her.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> I will wait up here to tell Thomas and Valen when they return where you went
<Sera> * Seth leaps in, Kaelan following soon after.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they leap in, they fall a good 10 feet then land in a cavern full of tunnels that go all over the place, and trails of grass all about. Jean looks at the tunnels, clearly trying to decid which is right, since there's so many that go in similiar directions
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's top is on the ground near by, having been discarded
<Eluere> 6Azhren grunts, possibly meaning to protect Faile without voicing it.
<Sera> Kaelan> "What's with these things removing clothes..."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Stupid perverted plants.
<Eluere> <Aschae> A girl like that is more delicious without clothes.
<Sera> * Seth frowns, looking about, tryingt o get some idea on how to track a vine that steal women that isn't in his pants.
<Eluere> <Zeal> ..." 6She eyes Aschae in an undecided manner.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Is Rachael unconscious yet?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean sniffs the air for Rachael's scent. "No, but she's scared...though trying to supress it..I smell her soap!" 6* She picks a tunnel
<Sera> * Seth and Kaelan move after her.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Ah, lovely beast.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they move, they see more of Mercy's clothes on the ground, and then Rachael's bottom.
<Sera> * Kaelan frowns and looks unhappy. "If they violated her I'll... I'll..."
<Sera> Seth> "Don't you mean... 'them'?"
<Sera> Kaelan> "Yes. Them."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'm afraid I'm at a loss on the 'violated' part of your fragment.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hm. 6* She studies Kaelan, gathering the clothes casually as they move - finally they reach a larger caveran and a giant plant is in the middle, with dozens of vines moving about, and dozens of man-eaters about it. Kaelan and Mercy are hanging about upside down by the vines, and the vines move up and down their bodies, putting a stick substance on them. Mercy seems out cold, but Rachael isn't
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's ears jerk wildly, visible as she hangs upside down, and she looks ready to bite
<Eluere> <Zeal> I hate to say this... but perhaps they remove the clothes since they are plant-based creatures. Eating clothes would be like cannibalism.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at all the enemies, and the giant Mother Plant
<Eluere> <Aschae> Something about this seems vaguely reminisce.
<Sera> * Seth speaks low. "We're going to need a lot of fire."
<Eluere> <Aschae> is that substance flameable? Perhaps you shouldn't, hunter.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As the two girls are covered in the substance, the man-eaters seem to wait as two new vines appear, that looks different - their ends look like they're designed to shoot something out. Perhaps they put seeds into living hosts they don't eat
<Eluere> 6Nephilim scurries out, hopping and flailing. 1"Raccchael!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes Nephilim as she hurries out; the new vines pause and the man-eaters seem to turn in Nephilim's direction
<Sera> * Seth pulls up his bow.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks over at Nephilim. "Nephilim!!" 6* 12 man-eaters head for Nephilim
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pauses and crouches, narrowing her eyes at the man-eaters and vines.
<Sera> Kaelan> "If we kill the momma plant, should that be enough?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Vines shoot out at Nephilim from all angles, trying to entangle. Prepare yourself, Nephilim
01<@DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Right, Left

01<@DeathStar> 1
01<@DeathStar> -0-
01<@DeathStar> 6* Nephilim flips about the vines and they tangle themselves up, and the Mother Plant screams in frustration, sending the special vines toward the two women, while the man-eaters try to get closer to nephilim
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hurries down. "Jean save the day!" 6* She swings her knife heroically, while Lenneth gets her own sword out
<Sera> * Seth looses an arrow at one of the special vines heading for the girls.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim springs upward and closes her eyes, bringing her freehand to her heart, instilling the sound of a heartbeat and activates a different kind of magic, dashing toward the specialty vines and makes a slash for either, then darts toward the mother rapidly
<Sera> * Kaelan moves with Jean, sword drawn, shield out to protect them both.
<Eluere> 6Zeal takes aim for the other as Seth shoot for one, releasing her own arrow.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The vines are cut and the mother plant rages in pain, while two man-eaters entangle Nephilim
<Eluere> <Nephilim> O-Oops, need to work on that magic." 6She flails and kicks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Three man-eaters approach Jean and Kaelan, and four more appraoch the others
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man-eaters draw Nephilim toward their mouths while Rachael uses her gust burst to knock them silly and drop Nephilim, struggling hard
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Mother Plant, outraged at her inability to impregnate women with her seeds, thrashes, making the cavern shake.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth prepares for a man-eater that comes at her, while two comes at Seth, and two at Aschae.
<Eluere> 6Aschae focuses on the one beneath Jean, trying to devour it with the earth, clutching her staff afterward to defend herself.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean parries as best she can, then blinks in surprise as Aschae crushes one and stabs it dead, then focuses on the remaining two, stabbing one
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> JEan sorry, but Jean have to save friends!
<Sera> * Seth fire a fireball at one of his maneaters, shooting arrows at the other while Kaelan slices at one on her an Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth twirls, protecting Aschae as she works her magic, and keeping her's and Aschae's away.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth sets on on fire, and Kaelan cuts one JEan hits, making it hiss. Nephilim is ignored so far as the two man-eaters try to stand up
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I wonder how much you're worth!" 6She giggles, running and springing from foothold to foothold to get high enough to strike a vital point on the moth
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Nephilim gets in and strikes the mother plant, it roars in anger, looking like her 'skin' is too thick to pierce with conventional weapons. Perhaps magic could
<Eluere> <Aschae> Watch it with the fire, hunter. If that fluid is flameable you'll roast our friends.
<Sera> * Seth starts firing at the mouth of the one remaining on him. "I don't see a friend on the end of the ones on me."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The Mother Plant aims vines at the group and spews the sticky substance on them. They'd begin to feel lightheaded as it lands.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim touches her heart and tries to activate the magic that either slows time or speeds her up, she's really not sure to give her another opportunity to strike while she chants an envigorating tune and thrusts her knife
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth drops another, and Jean and Kaelan bring one down.
<Sera> * Kaelan grunts and tries to shake it off, "Gotta... stop the Mother Plant..."
<Eluere> 6Aschae stumbles and drops to a knee, leaning on her staff. 1"Ngh... not going to fall to this..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The knife strikes inside the skin and begins to cut away, opening up. Prepare yourself Nephilim to cut fast during your slow time
01<@DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Down, Up, Up, Up, Down, Up
<Eluere> 6Zeal makes a face, and looses an arrow for the ones holding Mercy

<Sera> * Seth aims his bow and fires at arrow for the mother plant, gritting his teeth.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zeal drops the vine around Mercy and Nephilim cuts into the center of the Mother Plant, cutting it and hurting it; it's cries make all the man-eaters drop over as it thrashes violently now, threatening to hit Nephilim hard as it shakes. Rachael is dropped as well, grunting, looking like she can barely move, her legs spread a bit
<Eluere> <Zeal> Mercy! Come to me!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth's arrow strikes a vine about to crush Nephilim; Mercy wekaly crawls, obeying even though she's practically unconscious, and Rachael turns, trying to do the same as the monster thrashes against the wall
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes all the man-eaters down, then eyes Nephilim as the mother plant hits the cavern walls, making dirt fall down from above. "This part of the cave is going to collapse."
<Sera> Seth> "We need to kill it before it brings the whole cave down on us!"
<Eluere> 6Aschae rises and starts to slam her staff repeatedly down at any of the plants fallen
<Sera> Kaelan> "No, we need to get out before it does!"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Rachael!" 6She shifts and sprints over toward her to help her move faster.
<Eluere> <Zeal> The cavern will crush it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth helps her. Jean focuses, vanishing, grabs Nephilim, then vanishes again, right as the cavern begins to collapse on the mother plant. Rachael and Mercy, near the group, begin to get covered up
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Buu. I wanted its shinies.
<Sera> * Kaelan moves over and picks up Mercy with her crazy strength. Moving out with her.
<Eluere> 6Zeal runs, shouldering her bow to grab at Mercy and help her. 1"Someone help Rachael!
<Sera> * Seth rushes for Rachael and grabs her, trying to lead / carry her after them.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I was trying!
03* b12n11w00t (b12n11w00t@12.198.97.10) has joined #Session83
01<@DeathStar> 6* The cavern crushes the plant to death and the dirt rises in the air. Jean looks out of it, laying there not moving, and Rachael and Mercy look about as good, barely having been dragged to a safe part before it came down
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth pants, shaking the substance off of her; it tries to cling and weaken each of them
01<@DeathStar> 6* On the ground is a red ruby, worth 1000 gold if sold to the right vendor
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Score!" 6She reaches for it.
<Sera> * Kaelan sets Mercy down carefully. She then takes off her clothes, using them to clean off Mercy.
<Eluere> <Zeal> We need to find a ... river... or something... quickly.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Where...would we find such a thing?
<Eluere> <Aschae> I can't summon water right now. Unless Jean lets me.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Put it somewhere safe Neph, I'll get us a good price in Matias..." *she says sidelong*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's clothes begin to become utterly ruined as she scrubs Mercy clean
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan seems unconscious, as if the quick vanish movement and all the magic usage the team did has drained her
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pokes Jean like she's dead, then hugs her, seeing if she can't put some life back into her.
<Sera> * Kaelan doesn't seem to mind, standing in a metal bikini. Seth tuts a bit and looks to Zeal. "Got any herbs for a quick pick-me-up?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they sit there, someone begins to approach
<Eluere> 6Aschae turns her head. 1"Who goes?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Thomas. Are you all alright? 6* He hurries into view with a glowstone
01<@DeathStar> 6* He's soaked from the storm outside
<Sera> * Kaelan frowns and grabs her sword, she pauses and puts it down. "Whew..."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Many are naked. 1"She chuckles. 1"We need to get out into the rain I smell."
<Sera> Seth> "Oh Zeal, we found your river."
<Sera> Seth> "It's falling from the sky outside, now that I think about it."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> The rain? Here. I'll help. 6* He shifts to lift Zeal up easily, and Jean stirs at Nephilim's poking and help, opening her eyes. Lenneth rises to her feet
<Eluere> 6Aschae grabs ahold of Lenneth, moving toward the way Thomas came.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth leans on aSchae, grateful
<Eluere> <Nephilim> C'mon Jeanie! We have to go outside! Hee." 6She kisses her, then starts to tug
<Sera> * Seth picks up Jean and carries her.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Thank you... Thomas.
<Sera> * Kaelan does the same with Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean puts an arm around Nephilim and semi-carries her as much as Nephilim carries her. "Kay....then Jean nap..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy opens her eyes. "Is it...gone?"
<Sera> * Kaelan nods, kissing her gently. "It's gone. We stopped them."
01<@DeathStar> 6* After a bit, the team makes it outside, where the rain washes the substance off, and they use the cavern itself for a makeshift shelter as the storm rages across the grassland. -END-
