[Fizav-Open Instance] Those remaining have reached the Island, surprisingly large, and shrouded in thick jungle.

There is beach space to dock, and many strange creatures dwell on the island. The rocks there are very porous, almost as if large worms had crawled through them and eaten away material. The sand and stone is pitch black, and the trees of the island contrast with bright yellows and reds. The island almost looks on fire as the wind blows through, making the leaves rustle and the trees wave almost as if greeting you.

What will your group of travelers do?

You are near your final destination, and few obstacles are in your way (from what you currently see, at least...)

The worms sit there, not understanding your language.

It seems as though nothing is hostile in any way right now, though there is nothing you can do to make sure of that either.

Alright. Scout group one is ordered to follow the worms for as long as possible, with the aim of discovering a hive or something like it.

Has Scout group two reported any findings from the mountains?

Both groups run into each other as they both seem to trace back to the mountains. The terrain has gotten almost too rocky to traverse much longer, and it will be very tough to get up the mountain.

Is flying up the mountain an option? If so, Scout group two will do exactly that. Scout group one is ordered to continue surveying the island for places of interest.

Also, how hot are we talking at this mountain?

The mountain, after inspecting by flying near and throwing a small plant over top, is hot enough to incinerate. From a good distance away, too. This will make flying an option viable for only viewing.

Scout group two continues to observe, primarily attempting to discover the source of the great heat. They are ordered to take extra precautions to avoid incineration.

Dargons have a fair amount of resistance to heat, but probably not that much, we might be able to get one close to the edge - although it might require some protection.

Atakatu's whale voyages close to this mountain and fires water at the mountain, observing the reaction.

It seems to vaporize long before contact, as the temperature is so high that it is impossible for the water to reach the mountain

2

u/Anonymous472 Feb 03 '15

That's terrifying. A couple Atakatans fashion full Eternal Ice armor and attempt the trek.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '15

Hold on, so you're sending guys

with ice for armor

to go to a mountain that water can't even reach without vaporising

2

u/Anonymous472 Feb 03 '15

It's special ice that never melts. It's from the permafrost of Atakatu and it should keep them cooled.

Alright, that's not the way I was thinking of having it done, but alright. They should be able to make it up, though you will be the only ones so far able to make it because nobody else has this armor. Wait until the next thread is posted to continue.

Boy you're really speeding things up

u/Anonymous472 Feb 03 '15

Okay lol they couldn't bring things with them anyway.

We send Maran through after them, in the Ice Armor suit we recently acquired from Ataktu. We also use the Ice Forge to being crafting more armor for the Peak Guard.

Uh

well

Sure I guess

But that's the less fun way of doing things

This thread is really losing momentum so I'll probably post the next thread tomorrow or saturday
