Drake’s axe buried itself in the arm of the ice giant. At first it appeared stuck, but soon the limb cracked and the distal end shattered. Still the regeneration was in effect. Instead of growing back fully it produced a number of long spikes from where it was broken. As much attention was given to Drake Jaklo was still being targeted. The giant made a huge sweeping attack with its other arm. Jaklo couldn’t get left or right far enough, couldn’t jump it, and definitely couldn’t out run it, so he stood and took the hit. On impact there was a horrible cracking sound before a huge wave of force flew out. The giant's arm shattered up to the shoulder, and Jaklo stood in a small pit.

“Third law of physics. Equal and Opposite. Every bit of force you hit me with just hit you back.” Jaklo roared laughing.

At the same time he was horrified knowing visage wouldn’t recharge anytime soon. The giant began to regrow the arm, but soon the snow and ice from around the area was used up. It looked to the sky, but where it looked for snow was only a light rain now. It began to jump and stomp on the ground shaking it like a 6.0 quake. It spotted the witch and her boiling pot. Somehow it know the source of the weather change. The giant charged ready to trample her.

=====================================================================

The basement was just as frigid as outside, but upon fully entering the room it was obvious why. A huge section of the back wall had been destroyed and filled with snow. There had been something ridiculously powerful in here. The hole was maybe seven to eight feet around. There was a little trickle of light to indicate that it went right up to the surface.

Besides that the basement clearly got all of the inhabitants attention. It was actually a nice area to be in, at least for a mage. There were bookshelves of both magical tomes and a lot of manga. The Mage had a workbench set up just for putting together those little mecha model sets even. It was a very strange combination either way.

------------------------------------------------------

Upstairs the duo would stumble upon a shattered bottle attached to a large rattrap. It would seem a rudimentary magical trap intended to shatter the bottle if anyone went into the room, but it was tripped long ago. Likely the reason the room was so decayed compared to the rest of the normal, but empty house. A rot bomb, more often a joke spell used by child mages to give people athlete’s foot and such, though this was much more potent. In the closet was a tiny safe still locked up tight.
I have tomorrow off so I'll shoot for a post tomorrow.
@Wraithblade6I'll put this in the actual post too, but really the ice is refracting too much that you can't make out the details. It still looks like a 5 foot blackish ball oval.
@shinigami94@Witch Cat Well Poly said he was waiting on the others so uh...
I'm waiting for Mithias and am gonna put the posts I need to do together after him. For now filling the time with backstory writing. I mean i have a year of Jaklo where he literally vagabond's around the country as more or less a Witcher. Magic equivalent of a bounty hunter or vigilante.
TBH I totally get it we are past the initial hype here is where we test endurance. I also need to step it up when it comes to the investigations team. I was pretty lackluster considering I literally replied with 1 paragraph to 1 person when there were 2 ready and now there is a third.
Would I be cluttering up the IC tab if I posted an IC there?


I'd wait for Azai since he tried to hard to organize people. Let's hear his thoughts.
@Austronaut If it makes you feel better I did have plans for Markiel and Seph to have a meeting with anyone who has... shall we say been bellow standards. And the second "arc" if you would is much longer so with no or at least less rush they noobie detectives will have time to acclimate and learn.. This was a very brief intro slice everything down to the least it needs to be so everyone can establish themselves.
There were no runes, no symbols, nothing magical in the slightest. Only a small metal latch near the floor. With closer inspection it could be seen that the stairs were not attached to the first floor anymore and instead held to it with the latch. Undoing the latch would allow the stairs to lift away most likely giving access to the basement. Given a little more time and new drywall could have been put up to cover the bricks. Clearly whoever lived here was trying to create a hidden safe room or workshop. With the current shoddy it work the occupant either wasn’t especially talented or was very short on time. The latch was horribly cold to even draw close to. While the area was already cold just placing a hand by the lock stung like an icicle stabbing through the palm.@Polyphemus
@Witch Cat I said the mage was gone that was all. Also your detecting dust not fantastic at picking up wards made to hide magic. (cause TBH it'd basically it'd always be picking up magic at any place you guys go to, so I'd suggest keeping it for more specific searching.)
