Artifact

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*It slams down onto my back, though not fully knocking me away, its weight and force does knock me to one knee. I brace the weight on my back and push myself back up to a standing position, and look at Faering, signaling for her to move*

@Valiance

*As soon as you turn your head to signal, you find yourself on the planet with the black blob creatures, hopping back and forth as if nothing had changed since your last visit*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I'd be horrified to imagine what this thing could do if it got its hands on either of you.
*Lifts my hand and manifests a small blue ball from my palm, which begins spinning rapidly and blasting lasers from its surface rapidly and erratically at all approaching entities like a disco ball of death*

@Magnanimity

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

No kidding.
*Each of the lasers are coated in an aura of holy golden light, which adds additional piercing effects to the entity*

@Nimda

*A monstrous, disembodied tendril crashes down onto all of you from behind*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Charges a beam of golden light from my palm, which annihilates all of the tendrils and burrows deeper into the surface of the celestial body*

@Nimda

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

…
*Raises my fist and slams it down into the ground, firing the bullet-esque structure at blinding speed into the living world, shredding through its surface and internals*

@Valiance

*Enormous cracks open up along the surface on impact, releasing uncountable armies of additional tendrils, all of which worm toward you and seem to move faster when not in your direct line of sight, but the larger of which approach in no hurry*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Lurches, in a sudden, jerking motion, into a swift jab at the air toward you that sends a crack in spacetime surging toward the sphere, splitting reality like an earthquake severing the ground from itself*

@Valiance

*That visage completely fades away in the midst of the attack, which tears large chunks from the main body and are quickly addressed by the wriggling tendrils that aim to fill in the gaps*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Fades into view from nowhere next to Roland, emitting beams of light from my body that shine through the hands and disturb their form*

@Magnanimity

*As soon as you can see through the hands, you observe on the other side a gaping maw crashing down on top of you as if being consumed by the main body itself*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Flips forward several times and comes to a halt, landing suddenly and forcefully onto one of Chickpea’s artificial platforms*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Just a little longer!

@Valiance

*What seem to be ghostly, disembodied hands extend forward from the main body of the sphere and clasp at you*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Claps my hands together, and as I pull them apart, a Javelin of golden light emerges between the gaps*
After this one, he's next in line.
*Launches the weapon directly into the spere*

@Nimda

*Rocks at the impact, and several translucent white tendrils wriggle together to repair the damage*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Ideally.
*Focuses my gaze ahead toward the target*

@Valiance

*One of the wisps extends and curls around you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Shinji: *nods, and then remains silent, as soic as a guard on duty*

Stilgar: ...now that our small problem has been resolved, we will begin with a small history lesson. For you to suceed belnding in with our people, you must know the lanf as if it were your very own. As if you were born here. Understood? We will camp here in this cave for the remainder of this lesson. I have neough food and water for us all for 3 days. I suggest you begin studying quickly.

*hands each of you a bundle of scrolls*

@souleaterfan320

*Inquisitively peers at the contents of one*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Good.

*turns to shinji, who stands at attention to him. He looks him in the eye... and smacks him so hard that the sound echoes through the cave*

Shinji: *recoils from the hit, looking to stilgar with suprise*

Stilgar: you must collect yourself. You cannot lose your composure. If I reacted in anger to every inconvenience, my tribe would all perish. Think before you act.

@souleaterfan320

*Watches, but keeps my mouth shut*

Stilgar:

You make call me Stilgar. I will inform you of more, later. I have prepared a small camp deeper into this cave. For now, I will teach you a few basics. You must follow every step As I give it to you, as your life will depend on it. Understood?

@souleaterfan320

Understood.
