*Stands silent for a moment, then nods in acknowledgement*

@Valiance

*Stands above a mass of the creatures*
We need to go down right here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Absolutely not. Hitting things hard is what I do best.

@Valiance

Then it sounds like we have a plan. I’ve seen you fight—I’m not worried at all about our odds.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

As straightforward as you could want a plan to be, I suppose.

@Valiance

Do you have any better ideas?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

As for the attack itself, we’re just sort of winging it?

@Magnanimity

We’ll come across a sphere like a spider’s web. We need to hit it with everything we’ve got.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

What are we doing exactly once we’re there?

<Snipped quote by Codify>

I have faith.

@Magnanimity

The map just says to go straight down. I don’t know what happens beyond that point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Watches as it smacks against a barrier of blue voxels that materializes when its head reaches the plane parallel to where I stand*
To form, maybe. To last? Could be different. Where to next?

@Valiance

*Pulls up the map*
We need to turn a quarter right, and once we get there, straight down.
*The creature hits the ground and continues its hopping pattern as if nothing happened*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Steps forward, the tiny platforms at my feet disappearing and being replaced by new ones as I walk*
I wonder if these ecosystems require the beast to exist.

@Valiance

*One of the creatures experimentally hops at your platform*
Surely they can’t be self-sustaining. None of this is natural.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Bizarre.
*Looks up at you as you float down to my level*

@Valiance

*Hovers in place once I reach you, each flap of my wings scattering the creatures below me*
Downright unnerving.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Slams feet-first into a blue voxel platform that manifests just above the surface, as a blue light flashes from it over the ground to analyze the makeup of the new world*

@Valiance

*What previously appeared to be a black planet is actually barren, accompanied by pitch bloblike creatures bouncing rhythmically back and forth, their arms and legs short, jointless lumps, who stare at you blankly and unblinking with white saucer-sized eyes and dark slitted pupils*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Shifts around so that I'm, falling feet first*

@Valiance

*Obsidian wings tear outward from my back with a slurping sound, and I flick them down to slow my descent*
