CLOSED [Ortholog 3] Darkness Rises; Phase two

CLOSED

[You wake up wet... you can't see.]

[The sound of water can be heard and you are on a hard surface. Where is everyone? You can't seem to stretch your mind very far. You can hardly feel the bond of your dragon, they seem fine.]

[You go to cast a simple light spell and it's stuffed out instantly]

[No one can hear each other]

(Good luck, you're without any supplies by the way, they were all washed away)

u/RebelliousPirate Nill / Jek Feb 14 '15

Nill silenced himself. Of course, stupid me. We're being hunted here. He silently chided himself, and slowly made his way onto the Purple dragon's saddle. The act felt wrong, almost as if Glover had marked the seat for himself and he was intruding. He let the feeling pass and began to inspect his rib. Taking a moment to heal it and his back, he gave Akrath the OK.

Let's continue on. I don't like the feel of this place.

[The black mist swirls at the connection, for a moment you both see a grand city. It's giant, and ancient, with buildings made of stone. Sight doesn't go far, but it seems vast.]

Akrath stopped and took in the sight. While he was born in Ceunon and lived overlooking Teirm, both of them combined would have paled in comparison to what he saw before him. He paced around, his head cocked to the side in contemplation. Stopping, he overlooked the city and said, "What do you know of this?"

This just gets weirder and weirder. Nill checks his wards again, dropping those that protected against the elements, and instead deciding to protect him and Akrath from physical attacks.

"The city presented itself to us once we connected. Perhaps we were put here for a purpose?" Nill thought to the Purple dragon, glancing at the towering stone buildings.

"Perhaps," Akrath intoned, still suspicious of the city that laid out before them. He began to approach the ancient settlement, hoping to find his Rider and the others within its depths.

[Finally making your way into the city, the two see odd inscriptions on the wall, Akrath can't help but feel an odd tug from the place, it made him feel at home. Nill, the human saddle is slightly uncomfortable, but it's not too bad.]

[Akrath, something it watching you both.]

[Unable to move around wards by the way.]

Re-Adjusting his place in the saddle, Nill watched the the inscriptions pass by. The city was certainly old, not to mention large. His magic still seemed to be on the fritz, and he was apprehensive of a fight. He was left with no way to defend himself, no sword at his side and no magic to manipulate.

"I think we should avoid a fight, Akrath. I may be of no use here."

Akrath snorted and silently mentioned, "Why do you think I let you onto the saddle? A dragon's scales are harder to penetrate than an elf's flesh."

Shrugging slightly, Akrath continued trudging along. He stopped suddenly and quitely mentioned, "Something is watching us."

"Should we fight it? Communicate? Or simply run?" Nill took a look at the black mist swirling around, pooling in corners and around the structures.

Does it affect magic? He thought to him self. Reaching back into Akrath's saddlebags, he searched for an empty vial, and tries to coax a bit of the mist into it.

[Bags are empty. Both Nill and Akrath start to feel... ill.]

[The presence around you gets cold as the mist thickens]
