Expendable

Interest Check for Westerland Tales!

Interested and I've got some time this week.

Boldly go where no one has gone before! A Star Trek-inspired RP!

I'm good as helmsman as long as I get the chance to do a landing party every so often. Or maybe a doctor if needed.

I do have my own oc race, the Valkyrii. They're female (and only female) clones born from egg -shaped cloning tanks known as "Mothers", every one of them a warrior. Their wings however work best in zero-g, and they're telepathic only with each other. Only a handful are born with the ability to connect telepathically with alien races, everyone else just gives them a nasty headache.

Primarily work as Zero-G engineers and mercenaries - their planet is poor, so this is the best they can manage.

Jase scowled at the shadws as he brushed off his hands. At least coming down he'd found some quartz stones. With a bit of tinder, he might get a fire going.

"Did anybody see any sign of water as they came down?" the half-elf asked, all business. "We won't go far without water, and the only source I know is back up there in that cave, and we have no way to carry it. That cave is also the only shelter."

One that look harder to reach from down here, Jase frowned.

"We can skirt along this clif for an hour or two, then come back if we don't find anything," he added. "Unless one of you have anything better?"

The exited the cave up on a small cliffside above a forest, the sun shining brightly overhead. He took a few moments trying to spot some landmarks, especially water - they weren't going to survive long without that. Despite the green canopy beneath them, it didn't necessarily mean there was easily available surface water.

There also didn't look to be any signs of civliization - an army could be lying in wait under the cover of the forest, but he'd expect signs or at least the smell of smoke. Assuming he could spot water, they could follow it downstream and find themselves a town or village, even a city.

The others were already starting down the faint remains of a trail, although by the look of it, it hadn't been traveled or maintained in some time. How did whoever brought that chest made it all the way up here? There might have been other items stashed away there - but considering how remote this location was, it made little sense. Still, it suggested there had been some sort of civilization here at one time.

He envied Vrelenor his staff, that would be helpful with this trecherous path. Unfortunately, the nearest sapling was far below. What he wouldn't give right now for a bit of rope, or a decent map and compass?

"Sing out if you see water," he said gruffly, glancing behind him at the knight. "And mind your step."

As he made his way carefully down, he kept an eye out for some flint, quartz, or some other suitable stone. He had no idea how cold it might get later that night, but starting a small fire would help keep animals at bay as well as keeping them warm. And someone might see their smoke.

Not to mention all those primative tools his instructors showed him how to improvise in the field.

"Huh," Jase noted as the chest lock gave way and the lid sprung open at the slightest of pressure. "Must have rusted and dry-rotted. Must have been a long time since anyone's been here."

His youthful face scowled at the stone flute and fur. Why was the fur so well preserved in the chest? At least it wasn't moving when both were removed by the knight and Javal. Wasn't there like a children's story about a magic flute that bewitched mice and such? Best they don't play it until they were someplace safe, who knew what this one might do?

"Okay, false alarm. Let's go find ourselves a way out of here," Jase said, reasoning if someone brought the chest in, they must have a way out... unless it arrived the same way they did.

Rerun: Blackguards!

@Red Wizard - I've been fighting with the character about their wanting to be a tailed chimpanzee with wings, and something in my schedule has changed, so I'm afraid I'll have to drop out of this one.

Sorry.

Rerun: Blackguards!

@Expendable Love it. Love the flavour, too. Just right for the setting, and for how I picture it'd be to glimpse into the Wardens mind. Write me a CS and you'll be accepted.

@Red Wizard

Hope to have a CS for you later today.

"If it's rigged so a wire runs outside the chest, it's probably underneath," Jase sighs. "If it's rigged internally, then the holes in the wall are a fake - or whoever set this up was really paranoid."

There were so many ways to rig a trap.

"Best move back," the half-elf scowled, pulling his blade. standing to one side, he carefully slid his blade under the lid, then tried to lift the lid a fraction of an inch. For all they knew, it might not even be locked. And if they heard any noises, that would suggest there was some sort of mechanism.

You've already got a vampire. Hmmm.

Okay, a chimera - bat-winged monkey with the usual assortment of sharp claws and teeth, poisonous dew claws, but this one can talk and take over the bodies of others.

Formerly employed by a witch <NAME WITHHELD> but kept the livery.

It tried taking over the Warden.
Its soul leapt out.
It knows rather than let it die, the Warden picked up its soul and put it back in its body - because it was still useful....
It still has nightmares from the few glimpses it saw. It would give a demon lord nightmares.

Worcestershire sauce?

Usually I just point to it.
