Bob's Wild Ride: The End [FC, Quest, Hillside Caverns]

 * Feldspar walks up "Chinook? You here?"

 * Chinook stays sat down, but glances up "Hey!"

 * Feldspar walks up and hugs him "Glad I caught you. Have fun on your adventure!"

 * Chinook returns the hug "Yeah, should be a good one. Haven't done this in a while so I'll probably seem like some old bastard compared to the newer adventurers"

 * Liven_Up shows up after being missing for a few days, looking slightly tired and with a new necklace. "Hey everybody!"

 * Goldentouch_ waves at liven "What's up my zigga"

 * Feldspar breaks the hug, chuckling "I'll bet so. And don't worry, we can reschedule the... stuff to a different night."

 <Liven_Up> "Hey Golden, good to see you."

 * Al_Dente trots over towards the group of ponies, waving at all of them. "How's it going guys? Whats goin on."

 <Chinook> "Oh..um...yeah, boy that's not gonna be a distraction at all"

 <Liven_Up> "No idea, Al. Heard something was up, wanted to stretch my legs, so here I am."

 * Feldspar brushes her tail against Chinook as she leaves "Have fun honey."

 * Goldentouch_ waves to al "do you need a reason to sit in the townsquare?"

 * Feldspar leaves the townsquare

 * Chinook stands there "I...uh..."

 <GreenHoof> "Hey Chinook! Looks like we finally get to go on an adventure together!"

 * Aoyin trots into the town square, frowning slightly until he sees ALL DEEZ FRIENDS.

 * Al_Dente laughs at Golden and puts on a patronizing voice. "Ohhh sir that is loitering, I need to ask you to leave." Laughs and points at Chin. "But seriously, whats the haps."

 <Liven_Up> "Green Hoof, my friend!"

 <GreenHoof> "Liven! How'd your sabbatical go?"

 * Chinook snaps out of it "Sorry guys. Just uh...yeah, what's happening"

 * Goldentouch_ looks around "The last time all the guys got together like this was the party!"

 <Liven_Up> "Sabbatical? Was dat?"

 <GreenHoof> "Uh... Whatever you were doing for the last 3 or 4 days."

 <Al_Dente> "Your time off."

 * Liven_Up laughs. "Ah. Well it was spiritually enlightening."

 <GreenSleeves> "Sounds lewd."

 * Able_Tome leisurely walks into the town square, lost in thoughts. Slowly he reaches the gathered group, looking and observing faces of others, smiling weakly, "Hey Golden... hey Ao..."

 <Goldentouch_> "Very lewd"

 * Able_Tome looks at Golden, "How are those wounds coming along?"

 * Liven_Up shakes his head. "Not at all. Like, I was opened up to the universe... like I felt at peace and knew so much, saw everything..."

 <GreenHoof> "We need to keep going with the paramedic training."

 <Liven_Up> "Then I snapped out of my trance."

 * Goldentouch_ reads the monologue "oh hey able"

 <Al_Dente> "Did you finish those errands?"

 <GreenSleeves> "Still sounds Lewd, Liven."

 * Liven_Up looks over to Able, his laughter and smile vanishing. "Able..."

 <Lucyne> Ok your ears will be spared for tonight

 * Aoyin rolls his shoulders a little. "Evening Able." He reaches back and adjusts something he had hidden under his wing. "I need to get a sheath. Or find my saddlebags...

 <Goldentouch_> "My wounds are fine, thanks for doing whatever you did though"

 * Able_Tome eyes zebra for one brief moment, regarding him, "Liven...", before shifting his attention to Aoyin, "Hm... guess Moon Chaser can make one... "

 <Able_Tome> "Assuming that you have materials and such..."

 <Aoyin> "She could, but I haven't found any hide... Hmph. Oh well."

 <Chinook> "Alright, let's do this"

 * Able_Tome smirks, "Poison joking timberwolves work... if you're up for the task."
 * Able_Tome continues to maintain eye contact with Ao, "Well... 'least it worked on some of those creatures... if you handle them correctly."

 * Goldentouch_ puts his hands up ic for a second then quickly puts them down to avoid being an idiot

 <Lucyne> Dark, vicious clouds gather over the settlement of Four Cannon, casting foreboding shadows over the land, chocking all light in its dark embrace.

 <Liven_Up> "So.... Able..." he swallows his pride for a sec to be friendly. "How have you been?"

 * Chinook looks up "Yeah, not walking on those"

 * Al_Dente looks up at the clouds. "What happened to the weather, some rain bout to happen?"

 <Lucyne> You gather in the center of the town to see a panicked stallion, pale as death galloping towards you at full speed.

 * Goldentouch_ looks up with chinook "tell me about it"

 <Bob_Puppet> "HELP! HELP!"
 <Bob_Puppet> "SOMEBODY PLEASE!"

 <Chinook> "Bob?"

 <GreenSleeves> "OH SHIT BOB? DID YOU FALL IN?"P

 * Aoyin fidgets. "I don't like this wea-" He turns and looks, "Bob!?"

 <Goldentouch_> "Bob?!"

 <GreenSleeves> "I WARNED YOU!"

 * Able_Tome glances at Liven with an emotionless expression, "Pretty... decent... healing findings from chasm and su-huh?"

 * Liven_Up looks up. "When will we..." he looks to his friend. "Bob, what's wrong?"

 * Bob_Puppet runs and falls over himself, crashing before you.

 <Al_Dente> "Bob what the fuck happened?!"

 * Liven_Up rushes to his side.

 <GreenHoof> "Bobbeh?"

 <Liven_Up> "I'm here bro, what's up?"

 * GreenSleeves looks down at bob.

 * Bob_Puppet 's eyes dart madly around. He is panting and his heart racing.

 * Able_Tome looks at Bob, weak smile appearing, "Hah... good doctor Bob. What happened up there?"

 <Bob_Puppet> "HEARTH! THEY TOOK HEARTH!"

 * Goldentouch_ runs over

 <Aoyin> "What!?"

 <Chinook> "WHAT?!"

 <Al_Dente> "Who? Sarge?!"

 <GreenHoof> "What?!?"

 <Bob_Puppet> "LUCY IS GONE TOO!"
 * Bob_Puppet begins to wail

 <Goldentouch_> "Who?!!?!?!"

 * Able_Tome smirks, "Another problem with the -mob-... what the..."

 <Liven_Up> "Who? Where were they taken?"

 <Chinook> "Are you fuc-GAH!"

 <Bob_Puppet> "In-IN THE CAVES:"
 * Bob_Puppet begins to shake violently
 <Bob_Puppet> "We went to visit Iron Hoof"

 <GreenHoof> "Oh fuck..."

 <Bob_Puppet> "A-And then there was a noise..."
 <Bob_Puppet> A tear drips down Bob's quivering jaw

 * Able_Tome raises his brown, "Wait wait wait... who took her?"

 * Goldentouch_ listens intently

 <Bob_Puppet> "Iron Hoof went to investigate...and then...and THEN..."
 <Bob_Puppet> "We were attacked!"

 * Liven_Up puts his hoof on Bob's shoulder.

 <Al_Dente> "Was it a set up?"

 <Bob_Puppet> "It-It was horrible! The most horrifying thing I had ever seen!"

 * Aoyin grimaces. "Oh no..."

 * Able_Tome is confused, "Wait... someone from the, t-the chasm?"

 * Bob_Puppet cries

 <GreenHoof> "Oh man... Oh this is bad..."

 <Chinook> "Come on, Bob. We'll get 'em back no matter what!"

 * GreenSleeves listens intently, anger intensifies.

 <Bob_Puppet> "It was like a flying...bat...or sting ray...but...WRONG."

 * Goldentouch_ puts a hoof on bobs other shoulder"Bob stop crying we'll get her back"

 * Bob_Puppet shakes at the memory.

 <Chinook> "And we'll...."

 * Al_Dente troes to console the puppet Bob and offers him his hoof. "Bob were going to get Hearth back, this is going to get righted."

 * Bob_Puppet shakily gets up "We gotta go! I...I left them there..:"

 * Able_Tome frowns, "...why the hell woul-... why the hell would you go out there with small numbers as these..."

 <Liven_Up> "Bob, calm down... we're here, we'll save them. "

 * Aoyin 's eyes narrow. "We WILL get them Bob, don't you worry!"

 <Bob_Puppet> "I...Lucy wanted to go...And I told her she couldn't..."

 <GreenHoof> "It'll be okay, Bob. We can do this!"

 * Goldentouch_ helps bob up "Well then lets get moving!"

 * Able_Tome sighs, rubing his forehead, "God damn it with people going into that place..."

 <Bob_Puppet> "So I went with her..."
 <Bob_Puppet> "Lucy said Hidden and Arrant have gone there, it didn't sound too dangerous..."
 * Bob_Puppet shakily points towards the hillside caverns.

 * Chinook paces back and forth, memories of the last time he was down there roaring back.

 <Bob_Puppet> "W-We have no time to lose!"

 <GreenSleeves> "Fuck right we dont!"

 * Able_Tome rolls his eyes, "Hidden and Arrant... right, heard about -that- little *adventure*... ugh..."

 * Liven_Up wonders what this could have been; he was down with Hoof for five days and nothing happened to him there...

 * Chinook nods "FELLAS! There's some of our own out there who needs saving! Let's fucking Rock and Roll!"

 * Liven_Up looks at everyone. "No time to tell thw whole town. This sounds bad. I guess it will just have to be us."

 <Bob_Puppet> "Come on! We need to hurry!"
 <Bob_Puppet> Bob urges

 * Aoyin nods decisively. "No time, no time. Let's GO!"

 * Goldentouch_ starts galloping full speed toward the caverns "TALLY HO!"

 * Able_Tome walks closer to Bob, trying to muster a smile, "Aye, good doctor."

 * Liven_Up nods. "No more talking."

 * Aoyin starts after Golden, slowing to ensure that the rest of the group was following.

 * GreenHoof nods to Sleeves "Time to shine, brother."

 <Lucyne> And so you gather your weapons and wits and set of, determined as rarely before

 * Able_Tome doesn't looks sure about this entire unplanned journey

 * GreenSleeves nods back "It is time. "

 * Chinook follows alongside Bob and gives him a reassuring nod, everything's gonna be just fine.

 * Bob_Puppet is NOT fine.

 * Liven_Up hasn't felt this way since he helped rally to town to save Lucy. He knows they will acomplish their goal.

 * GreenHoof follows behind Bob

 * Able_Tome looks at his cloak, "Well... 'least we'll have -some- way to heal those wounds up... if something goes wrong..."

 <Chinook> "Maybe boulders again, Able"

 * Able_Tome follows Bob closely at his side, "Something that I've actually wanted to talk about you, Bob..."

 * GreenSleeves falls in next to GreenHoof.

 <Lucyne> You rush to the caverns, there dark interior as ominous as always.

 * Al_Dente follows the others, a weary looks on his face as he falls in behind the Greens.

 <GreenHoof> "I should be at least somewhat competent with these bandages. Hopefull we won't need em."

 <Chinook> "Yep, still don't miss this place"

 * Able_Tome looks back at the pegasus, "Hmm... not unless *someone's* going to cause that crack... ugh..."

 * Goldentouch_ looks at the darkness "someone light is up"

 <Chinook> "Any Unicorn wanna make themselves useful?"

 <Lucyne> Approaching the cavern, you hear a rumbling noise...

 * Able_Tome looks at his horn and lights it up

 <Chinook> "light this sucker up"

 <Lucyne> Promptly, Iron Hoof bursts around a corner and comes to a skidding halt before you.
 <Lucyne> Iron looks you all over frantically.

 <Liven_Up> "Mr. hoof!"

 <Lucyne> "OUT! ALL OF YOU OUT!"

 <Chinook> "!!!!!!!! OH, thank the gods, it's you!"

 * GreenSleeves stares in awe, having not seen IronHoof before.

 * Goldentouch_ flinches never seeing the minatour before

 <Lucyne> Iron points to the exit.

 <Chinook> "What?! No way!"

 <GreenHoof> "Iron Hoof! Sitrep, please!"

 * Able_Tome frowns and walks closer to Iron, "And hello to you too, Hoof... long time no see."

 <Lucyne> "Something terrible is happening, run while you still can!"

 <Liven_Up> "Not while our friends are in danger."

 <Lucyne> Iron Hoof's voice is filled with...fear

 <Chinook> "Damn right it is! Our friends are trapped!"

 <GreenHoof> "We can't! Our friends are trapped in there!"

 * Able_Tome looks at the minotaur intently "Well now... just tellk what's happening then."

 <Aoyin> "Sorry, big guy, ain't no time to run!"

 <GreenSleeves> "Implying we're going anywhere."

 <Lucyne> "This isn't something you can fight..."

 <Able_Tome> "What is it...?"

 <Lucyne> "I will find the other two."

 <Chinook> "Goddamnit we'll try if we have to!"

 <Lucyne> "You stay as far away as you can."

 * GreenHoof is a little disheartened by Iron Hoof's obvious fear

 <Lucyne> Iron Hoof stomps his mighty foot
 <Lucyne> "No, you can't, it's suicide."

 * Chinook grunts and stomps a hoof "Fine. Man, what's gotten into him?"

 <GreenHoof> "That's what you said last time!"

 * Able_Tome smirks, "You know some of us, Hoof... tell us what's going on and well -try- to consider..."

 * Goldentouch_ tries comprehending everything that's happening

 * Liven_Up looks up at hoof. "You don't know who you're talking too if you think we'll stand aside."

 <Al_Dente> "We have to try! It we dont do anything its pratically murder."

 <Lucyne> Iron shakes his head "Please, this is something even out of my leauge."
 <Lucyne> "Something terrible is stirring in the Underdark."

 * Able_Tome sighs, "Don't tell me that those -lower- caverns being acting up..."

 <Goldentouch_> "Then you have all of us!"

 <Chinook> "Then out with it!"

 <Lucyne> "I don't KNOW what it is, I can't remember!"

 * Able_Tome spits on the ground, "*Damn*..."

 <Lucyne> Iron shouts

 <GreenHoof> "What's the situation, exactly?"

 <Chinook> "Come on, Hoof....they're our friends"

 <Al_Dente> "We need some clarity."

 <Lucyne> "LISTEN to me! These monsters can CONTROL YOUR VERY MEMORIES."

 <Chinook> "....."

 <Liven_Up> "Hoof... if you were in our shoes... and this was [insert his party member's name here], you know you wouldn't back down."

 <Lucyne> Iron bellows in frustration

 * Able_Tome eaises his head and looks at Hoof, "Yes yes yes... ugh... now."

 <Lucyne> Iron snorts

 <Able_Tome> "How do *you* know that it's Underdark."

 <Al_Dente> "So what did they do to yours Iron Hoof?"

 <Lucyne> "You goddamn stubborn ponies."

 * Chinook nudges him "Able! Let the guy speak!"

 <Lucyne> "The whole lot of ya."

 * Able_Tome raises his brow, "Considering your... hmm... memory problem and all that?"

 * Bob_Puppet slowly goes up to Iron
 <Bob_Puppet> "Iron...please...my wife..."
 * Bob_Puppet quietly speaks

 * Aoyin ponders, "Control your memories, hm?" He can't help but chuckle, "Ponies... Sir, I must tell you, we have a history of overcoming impossible obstacles. Don't underestimate us."

 <Al_Dente> "She's pregnant, we have to do if for their child."

 * Able_Tome looks at Chin, "I know, I know, but... if it is -Underdark-... considering what we've heared from the past... I... I think you were there during that expedition here?"

 * Lucyne Iron's face goes dark as he regards the group.

 <Able_Tome> "Or... am I forgetti-... ugh..."
 * Able_Tome shakes his head, "Crap."

 <Chinook> "I was Able, dark times indeed"

 <Lucyne> "Stay close, keep your heads down and don't make a noise."
 <Lucyne> Iron promptly turns and heads off

 * Liven_Up whispers, "thank you..."

 * Goldentouch_ follows silently

 * Able_Tome sits down on his haunches, "Then you know what may happen to us down there... but..."

 * Liven_Up moves as silently as possible.

 * Al_Dente motions for everyone to follow Iron Hoof, crouching and going quietly.

 * Aoyin glances around before following this unfamiliar creature.

 * GreenSleeves follows behind Liven.

 <Chinook> "Up, Able. You go ahead, I got your six"

 * Able_Tome scratches his mane, mumbling, "Why would those things stir up right now..."
 * Able_Tome stands up and follows Iron

 <Lucyne> Iron moves with great speed and determination, you have to almost run to keep up with his huge strides as he approaches his home cavern.

 * GreenHoof follows GreenSleeves

 <Lucyne> "One moment..."
 <Lucyne> Iron goes into a side chamber of his cave, and produces a huge chest, laying it on the ground.

 <GreenHoof> "I can't believe we're doing this again..."

 * Able_Tome follows Iron Hoof closely, "How... and w-... ugh!", he frowns slightly at the pause.

 <Lucyne> Dust clouds fly heavily as he moves a hand over it.

 <Al_Dente> "Look at that chest."

 <Chinook> "Well now...."

 * Liven_Up carefully watchs's Iron's every move. "What's that..."

 <Lucyne> Iron's face is grim as he opens the box.

 * Goldentouch_ watched

 * Aoyin watches closely.

 * Al_Dente is hyped and crowds the others to look.

 <Lucyne> Iron then pulls out a huge, plate mail chestplate, a helmet, bracers, gloves and minotaur-fitting leg protection, putting them on quickly with a skilled hand.

 * Able_Tome walks closer to Bob, whispering, "Considering the... ugh... circumstances, doctor, I'd suggest you to...", he looks on the caverns floor, "...god damnit, Bob. I'd suggest you to stay in the town... but..."

 <Lucyne> He then takes a leather belt, and stocks it with a multitude of large, glass vials.

 <Al_Dente> "We going to war?"

 * GreenSleeves marvles at the armored minotaur.

 <Chinook> "He's serious....okay starting to get a little jumpy now"

 <Lucyne> "No chances..."

 <Aoyin> "... Well, I'm feeling quite naked now."

 * GreenSleeves nudges GreenHoof and whispers "Look at the bottles? Think they're pruno?"

 <Lucyne> Iron mumbles as he takes out the final object: a mighty shield

 * GreenSleeves chuckles nervously.

 * Al_Dente braces himself in his leather armor, feeling rather squishie.

 * Liven_Up actually gets a little excited. He should he scared, and is. But the fear and adrealine make him want to go on so much...

 * GreenHoof shakes his head "doubt it. This is war, Sleeves."

 <Lucyne> Iron stands before you, a tower of steel.

 <Chinook> "Iron?"

 <Lucyne> "Let's go, we have some monsters to hunt..."

 * Goldentouch_ Is hyped

 <Chinook> "You look badass"

 <Lucyne> Iron chuckles as he leads the way

 <GreenSleeves> "B-but war pruno, GreenHoof."

 * Liven_Up unsheathes his sword and follows.

 <Lucyne> "Come on, I can still smell them."

 * Al_Dente raises his big bone. "Ahhhh yeaaaaaa! Lets  do this shit."

 * Able_Tome sighs, "... just, stay back... there are measures this time to prevent trauma... but that's for later"

 * Chinook focuses his breathing and tries adjusting his vision to the darkness

 * GreenHoof smirks at GreenSleeves "We got plenty for ourselves"

 * Goldentouch_ follows along, sword drawn from its sheath

 * GreenHoof follows suit and draws his own sword, following

 <Lucyne> You follow Iron to a twisting, descending tunnel.

 * Able_Tome walks away from Bob nodding to him before he moves closer to Iron Hoof, "Smell... so you remember some tid-bits then..."

 * Aoyin trots by the Greens, "I think you mean 'battle potions,'" He leaves his sword in his wing, staying near to Iron Hoof in order to be more useful with his low-light vision

 <Lucyne> "I can smell Lucyne and Hearth..."

 <Liven_Up> "That's good..."

 <Chinook> "Aoyin, mind scouting?"

 <Goldentouch_> "Can you smell the monsters?"

 * GreenSleeves mumbles to himself "Damnit Ao."

 <Al_Dente> "Pass the pruno around, we need some extra..... juice for this."

 <Able_Tome> "Hmm.... true..."

 <Chinook> "With your eyes of course"

 <Lucyne> You descend and come to a small fissure in the ground, about 5ft across

 * Able_Tome looks at minotaur, "Any causes for... disturbances as of late?"

 * Aoyin glances back to Chinook. "Of course, that's why I'm up here."

 <Lucyne> A flat slab of rock is laid over it as a kind of improvised bridge

 <GreenSleeves> "Nope Al, I need these."

 <Lucyne> "I don't know why this is happening..."

 <Able_Tome> "There... there was another expedition to the chasm not too long ago, Iron..."

 <GreenHoof> "Gonna watch each others back, right? It's gonna take all of us to make it out if this..."

 * Aoyin looks down at the fissure. "... If Diablo taught me anything, it is that this is a bad sign..."

 <Lucyne> Iron crosses the slab. As you follow, you see the ominous shivering white leaves below.

 <Liven_Up> "I was in here with you just the other day... what's happened since then?"

 <Able_Tome> "And... well... certain things were... not looking right out there."

 <Goldentouch_> "Iron? After everything you've seen do you really need to know?

 * GreenHoof looks down at the forest, and memories of the mission to save Lucy come to mind

 <Lucyne> "I don't know. That is all I can say."
 <Lucyne> Iron says flatly.
 <Lucyne> He brings you to an expansive wall litered with tunnels and holes.

 <Al_Dente> "Iron do you have any idea of what is to come? At least tell us what to brace ourselves for?"

 * Aoyin stares down into the fissure as they cross, blinking at the beautiful view. "Is that..? Oh jeez."

 <Lucyne> Iron stops and takes a whiff of the air.
 <Lucyne> "I don't know much about these creatures."

 * GreenSleeves whispers to GreenHoof. "If this enemy fucks with memories, how can we trust IronHoof?"

 <Lucyne> "From what I can tell, they are beyond bizarre."
 <Lucyne> "And incredibly powerful."

 * Liven_Up mutters "abberations" under his breath.

 <Lucyne> Iron eyes the different caves, his ears twisting and turning.
 <Lucyne> "Damnit..."

 * GreenHoof leans to GreenSleeves "I don't think he's playing with a full deck, but he seems relatively benign. We'll just have to work with him best we can."

 * Chinook closes his eyes and takes a deep breath "They're our friends....we got each others backs..."

 <Liven_Up> "What, what is it?"

 * Al_Dente looks around the cave, peering inside one hole.

 <Lucyne> "I think I lost the trail..."

 <Aoyin> "Can't locate them, sir?" He walks up beside the minotaur, "May I?"

 <Al_Dente> "Feel it out."

 <Lucyne> Iron carefully moves up to the tunnels

 * Able_Tome looks at the minotaur with an inquisitive expression, "Nothing?"

 <Liven_Up> "Shit..."
 * Liven_Up groans and looks around.

 <Lucyne> He carefully moves by the different tunnels, listening intently, ignoreing the group for the msot part.

 <Goldentouch_> "Let me guess... We need to split up and search the tunnels."

 * Chinook is scanning all around at this point

 <Lucyne> "Wait..."
 <Lucyne> "I hear something..."

 * Al_Dente trots backwards away from hole, going to the others and crowind them. "I have a bad feeling about this."

 <Lucyne> Iron pauses before one of the tunnels.

 * Liven_Up hears him and takes a defensive stance with his sword.

 * Able_Tome looks at his backpocket contemplating options for few brief moments before he looks back at the group, "It would be wise to share cert-... huh?"

 * Aoyin is silent, cocking his head and swivling his ears, trying to pick it up himself.

 * Able_Tome switches his attention to the minotaurs, his ears perking up

 * GreenHoof whispers to GreenSleeves again "if it makes you feel any better, I don't trust him either. So sharp
eyes, ok?"

 <Lucyne> Iron motions for complete silence as he crouches to the floor, remarkably dexterious despite the ehavy armor

 * Chinook lowers down

 * GreenSleeves leans in to Green Hoof. "No problem.."
 * GreenSleeves gets low.

 <Lucyne> His face contorts as he concetrates, ears twitching.

 * Liven_Up remains crouched and tightens his muscles.

 * Goldentouch_ follows his lead and lays down

 * GreenHoof hits the floor to Solid Snake it

 <Lucyne> In the complete silence...you all hear it...

 * Al_Dente stays on his hooves, his head darting around as he looks around frantically clutching bono's bone.

 <Lucyne> A long, wailing, unnatural moan
 <Lucyne> And it sustains and sustains
 <Lucyne> Chilling you to the bone as it grows louder

 * Aoyin 's eyes go wide. "..."

 * GreenHoof shivers at the disturbing noise

 * Able_Tome shivers a bit at the heart-chilling sound

 * Chinook cups his ears with his hooves and closes his eyes

 * Goldentouch_ sits there in fear listening "..."

 <Lucyne> The moan holds for a solid minute before slowly dying.

 * Liven_Up tightens his grip on his sword and begins breathign heavily.

 <Al_Dente> "Fuck..... fuck and this.... I dont like this.... I have a horrible feeling about this."

 <Lucyne> Iron gets up, readying his axe and shield.
 <Lucyne> "I know where they are..."

 * Aoyin 's ears fold back as he lowers a little, panting softly by the time the noise died down. "What did I agree to come to..."

 * Liven_Up remains low. "Can you tell us, Mr. Hoof?"

 * GreenHoof whispers to Bob "it's gonna be alright, man. Everyone's gonna be okay..."

 <Goldentouch_> "Then lets go, there's no time to lose"

 <Chinook> "Alright...we can do this. We're with you all the way Bob"

 <Lucyne> Iron looks down the tunnel. "They are near the lake, I can tell by the way the sound is distorted."

 * Able_Tome looks at the group, whispering in the hushed voice, "P-ponies... I'd suggest you taking one of there", he rummages through his pockets, gathering five berries, before stretching his hoof forward
 <Able_Tome> "Something that we were able to collect during our... latest chasm expedition..."

 * Chinook takes a berry and whispers "Thanks. What's it do?"

 <Liven_Up> "From the chasm?" He looks them over. "When did you go there?"

 <Lucyne> Iron peers down the tunnel.

 * Goldentouch_ looks at the familiar berry an takes one

 <Liven_Up> "Wait. Not important."

 * GreenSleeves looks at the berries quizicly, taking one. "What do they do?"

 * Al_Dente takes a berry and nods to Able, waiting before bagging it for later.

 * Able_Tome glances at Chinook, "Minor heal regeneration... but..."

 <Al_Dente> "But?"

 <Chinook> "But..."

 <GreenSleeves> "But?..."

 * GreenHoof pulls out a bottle of Pruno briefly "No thanks, Able. I got my fruit related product right here."

 * Able_Tome looks at Liven, "But I'd suggest to use this *only* if mortal danger arises... we still need to have these for experiments..."

 * Aoyin frowns softly, reaching to take the berry, holding it as he looks up at Iron. "We have to go."

 <Lucyne> Iron still hesitates as he listens
 <Lucyne> "Where did it go..."

 * Chinook puts it in his saddlebag "Alright. Let's stay focused"

 * GreenSleeves tosses the berry in his bags. "Alright."

 * Goldentouch_ walks over besides aoyin "exactly"

 <Able_Tome> "As for the chasm expedition... not long ago, Liven... several days to be honest..."

 * Liven_Up looks back. "I agree. I'll take care of any normal wounds. You hold onto one for your own use."

 <Lucyne> Iron turns around to the others
 <Lucyne> "This is your last chance to turn back."

 * Aoyin looks around, not sure where to put the berry... Then he opens his mouth and puts it under his tongue, assuming it wasn't extremely soft.

 <GreenHoof> "Not gonna happen."

 <Chinook> "Not happening, big fella"

 <Al_Dente> "We didnt come this far to turn back, we in this till the end."

 <Liven_Up> "Mr. Hoof... just who the hell do you think we are?"

 <GreenSleeves> "Yeah!"

 * Goldentouch_ nods at what liven says

 * Able_Tome nods to himself, "Good... remember. *Only* if the need arises to stabilize the condition, now..."

 <Lucyne> Iron nods, recognizing himself in this group...heh

 <Aoyin> "We're not leaving. Did you not hear me? We've overcome worse, minotaur."

 <Able_Tome> "Mortal conditions..."

 * GreenSleeves trots over to Al and whispers to him. "Be weary of Iron Hoof. If what he says is true, his own memories might be tampered with."

 <Lucyne> "Come on then...keep quiet."

 * Able_Tome walks back to the minotaur, "Lets."

 * Chinook nods and follows, lower to the ground.

 * Goldentouch_ keeps quiet and follows behind chinook

 * Al_Dente nods at Sleeves and glances at Iron Hoof, furling his brow.

 <Lucyne> Iron slowly enters the tunnel, sloping downwards.

 * Liven_Up follows the minotaur, his blood boiling.

 * GreenHoof follows behind GreenSleeves

 * GreenSleeves follows behine Liven.

 <Lucyne> On his way down, Iron stores his axe and shield, takes off his helmet and removes a vial.

 * Al_Dente crowds up behind Iron Hoof. "Whats in the vial?"

 * Aoyin follows, crouching low, feeling his heart beat hard in his chest.

 <Lucyne> He then starts to coat the helmet in the oily liquid.
 <Lucyne> "Anti Magic oil."

 * Liven_Up watches with great interest.

 <GreenSleeves> "You wot?"

 <Liven_Up> "I see..."

 <Chinook> "......I need that"

 * GreenHoof tilts his head

 <Al_Dente> "Does it work good for cracked skin?"

 <Lucyne> Iron carefully covers the entire helmet before donning it again.

 <Aoyin> "It puts the oil on the helmet." He chuckles at his bad jokes, then resumes being serious.

 * Al_Dente cracks a stupid smirk, containing himself and not laughing.

 <Lucyne> "To protect against this creature's magic...hopefully."

 <Liven_Up> "Can you at least tell us what we're up againts?"

 <GreenHoof> "What is this creature? You must know something about it."

 <Lucyne> "Ash used to cover us with the stuff...heh."
 <Lucyne> "I only know a few things."

 * Al_Dente mumbles something about lewd.

 <Lucyne> Iron whispers

 * Able_Tome frowns, "And at time like this wish we'd have helmets produced..."

 <Goldentouch_> "Sounds lewd, now back to the creature"

 <Lucyne> "All I know is: They moan, they fly, and they attack your mind."

 * GreenHoof chuckles at Golden's comment
 <GreenHoof> "Great. More mind games..."

 * Liven_Up is vaguley reminded of something from D&D...

 <Chinook> "Flying....great"

 <Lucyne> As you descend...a weird noise fills the area...a weird, static-like white noise fills your ears

 <Aoyin> "Oh boy... More mind fuckery. Fucking shadow- What is-"

 <GreenHoof> "I swear, if we're dealing with another little ghost girl who ran away from mommy..."

 <Al_Dente> "Oh god those shadows."

 * Able_Tome feels uncomfortable at the sound of the noise, "Not... good..."

 * Liven_Up takes a deep breath.

 <Aoyin> "... That's- Wait a minute..."

 <Chinook> "What the?"

 <Lucyne> Iron seems to not notice anything.

 <Chinook> "Iron?"

 * Al_Dente weilds his bone and looks around, constantly looking over his shoulder.

 <Lucyne> "Almost there..."

 * Liven_Up holds his head for a second. "Damn this is annoying..."

 * Able_Tome looks at Iron, "Um... static noises are... part of their effects?"

 * Aoyin grimaces, having developed a slight phobia of that noise. "Sir..?"

 <Lucyne> "Noise? I don't hear anything..."

 * Goldentouch_ tries to drown out the sound with something worse, Friday by RB

 <Chinook> "Looks like that oil worked"

 <GreenSleeves> "For him..."

 <Lucyne> Iron frowns as he slowly approaches the final turn

 * Able_Tome frowns "During your last... encounter with them, was there a noise? Take off that helmet and feel it..."

 <Al_Dente> "Guys why didnt we get some oil and.... Oil ourselves up.

 <Liven_Up> "Wish we had some of that..."

 <Lucyne> "Stay here."

 <Aoyin> "Or maybe..." He shakes his head, "No, of course it was the oil."

 * GreenHoof walks up to Able and whispers "I still feel weary about trusting Iron Hoof... Don't think he's playing with a full deck..."

 * Liven_Up halts.

 <GreenSleeves> "Waoh Al, Lewd."

 * Chinook stays put. My god does he stay put.

 <Lucyne> Iron slowly peers around the corner and immediately retracts back

 <Lucyne> "Oh fuck."

 * Al_Dente follows behind Iron Hoof for a few feet before stopping and looking around, a nervous expression washed over his face.

 <Liven_Up> "What, what is it? How many?"

 * Aoyin watches Iron Hoof approach the corner, and can't help taking an extra step forward, recorling when he heard the word.

 <Lucyne> "One...by god I don't remember them being that big..."

 <Al_Dente> "Memories mate."

 <Aoyin> "Oh dear god..."

 * Able_Tome looks at Green Hoof with a slightly annoyed expression for a moment, before he lightens up, whispering back, "Well... considering the effects of those creatures and the story that he told long while ago..."

 * Chinook keeps his mouth gripped on his sword "Fucking wonderful"

 <Lucyne> Iron breathes slowly, readying his axe

 <Liven_Up> "Well at least we have the numbers. What is it called, what's the battle plan?"

 * Aoyin pulls out his machete, narrowing his eyes.

 * Goldentouch_ mutters that's what she said and pulls his sword out

 * Able_Tome continues to whisper, but is interrupted, "W-what?"

 <GreenSleeves> "Pruno in the face, Liven."

 <Lucyne> "Take cover, I'm going in."

 <GreenSleeves> "That's the plan."

 * Al_Dente raises his bone and motions around the corner. "We still have the element of suprise."

 <Lucyne> Iron says as he rounds the corner.

 * Chinook unsheathes his sword and flares his wings.

 * Able_Tome looks at the minotaur as he pulls out his longsword "Stay safe..."

 * Goldentouch_ looks at chinook "we got this..."

 * Aoyin hisses a whisper, "Oh shit, wait-" He goes towards the corner, stopping himself. "Shit, he's going to-"

 <Lucyne> You slowly, carefully peek around the corner before the terrifying sight roots you to the spot.

 * Aoyin tries to comprehend the sight, despite the terror

 * Al_Dente cant help but stare at the sight, trying to perceive what it is.

 * Liven_Up looks and keeps his sword drawn.

 * Able_Tome runs to Aoying and pulls him back

 * Goldentouch_ stares, frozen in place by fear

 * GreenSleeves doesn't look at it.

 * Able_Tome hushes and whispers to the batpony, "Are you out of your mind?"

 <Lucyne> Before you is a large cavern with a lake and many stalegtites giving lots of cover. Hovering above the dark water...is a horrible, alien sight: Roughly as big as Iron, a huge...fleshy---sting ray like creature floats, but...you can't tell any details. It is as if the creature had a kind of static filter over it, blurring it and it's surroundings. Looking at it makes the white noise exponentially louder, hurting your ears and thoughts.

 * Chinook widens his eyes "Gods be merciful...."

 * Aoyin looks back at Able, grimacing. "I may be now... Dear god, I... I can't..."

 <Lucyne> It seems to be lazily floating over the water, not very active.

 * Al_Dente just stares at it from around the corner, his jaw hanging wide open before he regains any composure. "Mother.... Of..... God....."

 * GreenHoof glances at the creature and quickly looks away "Damn..."

 * Liven_Up has to stop himself from charging the monster, but heeds the advice of Mr. Hoof.

 <Lucyne> Iron hides behind a large stalegtite, taking out one of the vials.

 <GreenSleeves> "Hoof, what's it like? I ain't lookin' jsut yet."

 * Goldentouch_ heard the sound intensify and looks away making it stay that level

 * Aoyin shakes his head hard. "Thank you, Ab-aahh..." His ears fold back and he pants, legs shaking a little.

 <Lucyne> "Ok, here's the plan."

 * Able_Tome narrows his eyes at the batpony before he notices that others try to take a peek, aggrevated a bit "Jesus Christ people, don't look!"

 * Chinook looks at the floor and lets out a few short breaths
 <Lucyne> He whispers back to you

 * GreenHoof shakes his head "it's like... Some sort of stingray floating thing. Big. Disturbing."
 <Able_Tome> "Don't. Attract. Attention."

 * GreenSleeves nods to GreenHoof.

 <Lucyne> "You get in here and look for the two while I distract it."

 * GreenHoof lowers to the ground and listens to Hoof

 <Aoyin> "I think it already know's we're here..." He shakes his head again.

 * Able_Tome looks at Aoyin and smiles, patting him on the shoulder, "Oi... it's alright...."

 <Liven_Up> "Are you sure you want to take it alone?"

 * Al_Dente looks away from the creature and dry heaves, looking back and staring at it. "Your one ugly. Mother fucker."

 <Lucyne> Iron nods.

 <Lucyne> I can take it, at least get you enough time

 <Able_Tome> "That might be the case... sadly..."

 <Aoyin> "I don't want to leave him... But we'll have to... Sh-shit..."

 <Lucyne> Iron motions for you to enter the cave.

 <Al_Dente> "Go low, slow, and quiet."

 * Goldentouch_ nods and starts looking for them "..."

 * Chinook looks back "We'll sing tales of you, Iron Hoof. Godspeed"

 * GreenHoof gulps hard and heads into the cave, keeping cover behind stalagmites

 * Liven_Up sighs. He don't like Iron fighting alone, but he trusts the minotaur. "Alright... may the spirits give you strength, sir."

 * Able_Tome looks at the others and shakes his head, "Very... bad... idea..."

 * GreenSleeves follows closely behind Green Hoof.

 * Al_Dente holds his breath and starts to make his way from stalag to stalag, occasionally glancing at the creature as he tries to go ahead.

 <Lucyne> You slowly crawl out of the tunnel, hiding behind the rocky outcroppings.

 <Aoyin> "Th-thank you, Iron Hoof... You will be... Ugh... Thank you." He gets low, belly almost touching the floor. "Stay behind the stalagmites..."

 * Goldentouch_ goes solid snake

 <Lucyne> The noise becomes increasingly maddening as you enter the cave.

 * GreenHoof notices GreenSleeves following him. He smiles and nods "Watch each others back."

 <Lucyne> Now...where are those two?

 * Aoyin shudders softly.

 * GreenSleeves nods back "Yeah, I've got 'cha"

 * Al_Dente feels chills down his spine, his eyes darting around in a paranoid manner

 * Liven_Up grunts as the noise begins to grind his gears. "Gah... come on... where are you two?"

 <GreenHoof> "This is some tactical espionage shit"

 <Chinook> "Get it out...I dunno what's happening, just make it stop..."

 * Liven_Up tries to take a clenshing breath and at try to ignore it or quiet him down.

 * Able_Tome flattens his ears, trying to make the noise, though with no avail, "Perfect... magical disturbance..."

 * Aoyin is going his best to hold back his panting, eyes darting around, keeping himself convinced that the noise was imaginatory.

 * GreenHoof does his best to ignore the "noise"

 <Lucyne> You slowly crawl across the cave...the creature hanging in odd weightlessness as if in a stupor...

 * Al_Dente keeps maing his way forwards quietly, mumbling to the others. "I just have bad vibes about this..... Really bad feelings about this."

 <Goldentouch_> "We all do " he whispers back

 * Liven_Up mutters a Buddhist prayer under his breath as they go on.

 * Able_Tome cringes slightly at the sight of the creature and immediately hides back, "And don't... think people... clear your thoughts..."

 <Lucyne> Slowly, under the cover of the rocks, you approach the water's edge, still no victims in sight.

 * Aoyin can't keep himself from glancing up at the creature again, trying to see... ANY detail.

 * Al_Dente starts to think exactly about what Able mentioned, people and back home.

 * Goldentouch_ tries to look into the lake

 * GreenSleeves still hasn;t looked directly at it.

 <Lucyne> The creature just softly bobs in the air, belly up, in some bizarre trance.
 <Lucyne> The creature becomes more blurred each time you look.

 * Aoyin 's eyes go wide, whispering to himself, "It knows when you look..."

 <Lucyne> Peering into the water...you see an odd color disturbance, but you'd need to shine light into it.

 * Goldentouch_ pokes able and points to the water

 * GreenHoof crawls over to Bob and whispers "Hey, when we get them back, we're gonna go home and party like its your bachelor party again!"

 * Aoyin looks down at the water, staring, trying to take in more light with his sensitive eyes

 * Able_Tome looks at Golden and the water puddle... huh.

 * Al_Dente gets to the edge and motions at the light. "Should I try and reach in for it?"

 <Goldentouch_> "Shine your light..."

 <Chinook> "Don't!"

 * Liven_Up chuckles. "Get a cake and I'll pop out of it any time..."

 <Lucyne> Looking down into the water with sharper eyes, Ao finds the disturbance to be of Minty complexion.

 <Chinook> "That'll get it's attention won't it?"

 <Aoyin> "Wait, wait... Let me see if I can see anything..."

 <Al_Dente> "Keep those lights out, ill just try and reach it."

 <Aoyin> "Wait..."
 <Aoyin> "Guys... What... What color was Lucyne again?"

 <Liven_Up> "mr. Hoof will deal with this..."

 * Able_Tome whispers "Good thinking, Ao...'

 <Lucyne> Iron slowly edges his way closer to the creature.

 <Liven_Up> "minty green..."

 <Able_Tome> "Um... green mint."

 <Goldentouch_> "Minty"

 * Aoyin swears under his breath. "No, no no, I swear to god..." He tries to figure out if it is a reflection or actually IN the water.

 * Able_Tome looks at the creature in the air and back at Aoying

 <Lucyne> It is very much IN the water, near the bottom.
 <Lucyne> Iron slowly approaches the shoreline.

 <Aoyin> "... It's Lucyne."

 <Goldentouch_> "What do your bat eyes see aoyin..."

 <Chinook> "Lucy? Ch...check if Hearth's down there!"

 <Liven_Up> "Hey Able, wouldn't it be something to cut that beast open?"

 * Al_Dente reaches inside the water, fishing his hoof around.

 <Lucyne> Lucyne is to deep to be reached without diving.

 * Aoyin glances back, "No other color. She-" He smacks at Dente's hoof. "Stop. She can stay down there. Don't... Don't worry."

 <Chinook> "I'm going in"

 <Liven_Up> "Wait, can you swim?"

 * Able_Tome looks at Liven, "... hmm... elaborate."

 * Al_Dente pulls his hoof out. "Chin wait."

 * Aoyin glares at Chinook, "No."

 <Chinook> "Or what? We leave her?"

 * GreenHoof jumps into the water "GERONIMO!"

 <Lucyne> Iron comes forth from his cover.

 <Aoyin> "Lucyne... Will be fine-"

 <GreenSleeves> "NO HOO!"

 * Able_Tome 's attention darts to Hoof, "Wait!"

 <Lucyne> Does someone stop Hoof?

 * Aoyin tries to grab Hoof before he jumps in

 <Aoyin> !roll d20

 <Lucyne> Ao is quick enough to stop Hoof from jumping, but not from screaming

 * Al_Dente tries to hush the others and quietly as he can, looking at the creature.

 <GreenSleeves> "What do I always fucking tell you, Hoof!"

 * Aoyin hisses in a whisper, "You FUCKING idiot."

 * Goldentouch_ glares at the retarded green twin

 <Lucyne> the creature wirls to you, the static becoming UNBEARABLE

 * Aoyin shudders, biting his lip. "Stay... Quiet..."

 * Chinook glares at Green "What the FUCK?!"

 <GreenHoof> "Oh shit..."

 * Al_Dente looks at the others and yells. "OH GOD! WERE ALL FUCKED!"

 * Aoyin is still holding Hoof, his grip tightening considerably.

 * Able_Tome grinds his teeth together as his mind begins to loose focus, "Ffff-..... Fucking HOOF!"

 <Lucyne> Iron bellows a warcry as he jumps towards the shore.

 * Goldentouch_ shrugs and then falls to the ground clutching his ears tryin to make it stop

 * Liven_Up groans loudly and holds his head. "Gods damn it you IDIOT!"

 * Umbra_Electrum is now known as Umbra|Sleep

 <Lucyne> Iron flings his axe at the creature, it's blade burrowing into the soft fleshy creature with a horrible ripping noise until the axe ricochets back into Iron's trained hand.
 <Lucyne> "ALL YOU GOT?"

 <Al_Dente> "Guys we need to save them! Move while he buys more time FUCKING NOW!"

 * Chinook dives into the water

 <Lucyne> The creature begins to moan and cry as it swerves through the air, black blood tainting the water.

 * Al_Dente tries to usher the others forwards.

 * Aoyin looks around at the other ponies, having completely shrugged it off, his lips pulling back further in frustration.

 * GreenSleeves grunts loudly in pain and drops to the ground.

 <Lucyne> Iron goes for another attack.

 * Aoyin looks down into the water again, trying to see if there was anything else down there.

 <Lucyne> Iron's axe cleaves a wing straight off of the creature as it comes crashing down onto the cavern shore.

 <GreenHoof> "Shit....."

 * Al_Dente groans and shrugs his shoulders, making his way down the closest part of the cavern. "WE NEED TO GET MOVING YA FUCKS!"

 * Chinook quickly swims back up

 <Lucyne> Lucy follows the swimmers carefully.

 * Aoyin 's gaze darts around, looking for ANY hint of where Hearth may be

 * Able_Tome is "enjoying" noise induced nirvana

 * Al_Dente screams at the top of his lungs at the others. "WHAT SHE SAID! WHERE IS HEARTH!"

 * Aoyin shudders, mouth falling open. "Nnn... Fff..." His head darts around, quickly locating who was stunned before looking back to the water.

 * Goldentouch_ surfices "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!"

 * Able_Tome is so stunned that he doesn't realizes that someone's carrying him, every thought blurring and intermixing with each other

* Goldentouch_ is sprinting with chinook

 <Lucyne> You all run for the caves!

 <Chinook> "...Bob?"

 * Aoyin takes one more glance around for whoever may have been still stuck, groaning and pulling Chin onto his back and running off with all this weight.

 * Chinook is already upon Gold's back

 * Aoyin didn't do that then.

 <Lucyne> "GET OUT! I CAN TAKE THIS ONE!" Iron bellows

 * Aoyin does just that while carrying Able

 * Goldentouch_ doesn't really feel the weight, all the conditioning from star making it easy

 * GreenHoof continues running with the disoriented Sleeves on his back "God dammit I fucked up..."

 <Lucyne> Looking back a final time, you look to your horror to see as with a SNAP, a new wing bursts from the creature's body.

 * Liven_Up makes his way out with lucy, but really wants to fo back and help Mr. hoof.

 * Chinook glances back "Oh gods..."

 <Lucyne> "I'LL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY; JUST A TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION!"

 <Lucyne> IRON LAUGHS

 * Al_Dente stops in place and turns around, jaw hanging wide as he cant believe what he just saw.
 <Al_Dente> "Oh."
 <Al_Dente> "My."
 <Al_Dente> "Lawd."

 <Lucyne> The creature resumes to be airborne.

 * GreenHoof can't help but chuckle nervously at the jovial Hoof

 * Goldentouch_ doesn't stop to look because he ain't a dumb nigga

 * Aoyin glances back, grimacing, "Shit, fuck, what is-" He pulls his gaze away, "No, no, it's an illusion, it's fucking with our-" He shuts up when Iron laughs, shouldering Dente to  to get him moving again.

 <Lucyne> You all BOOK IT for the upper cave.

 * GreenSleeves moans.

 * Able_Tome twitches slightly

 <Lucyne> Reaching the upper caverns, you collapse exhausted.

 * Al_Dente gets shoulder checked and stares for a few moment more before following behind them, being the last one.

 <Lucyne> Lucyne stays standing and looks over all the caves.

 <GreenHoof> "Sorry Sleeves. I... Fucked up."

 <Lucyne> "Come on, come on..."

 <Chinook> "Ah, goddamnit. Feels like my brain's in the middle of a tug of war...."

 <Lucyne> Lucyne frantically runs from one tunnel to the next, looking for something.

 * GreenHoof sets GreenSleeves down and starts looking him over "where's it hurt?"

 * Able_Tome is still stunned and silent, his head not registering things that are happening around him

 * Aoyin lets Able down, panting as he looks around, ears twitching to listen for the static. "Lucy... What the FUCK was that?"

 * Goldentouch_ sighs "they make pills for that, but your alive"

 * GreenSleeves speaks quietly to Green Hoof. "P-p-p-p-p..."

 <Liven_Up> "Lucy... what happened?"

 <Al_Dente> "Who cares what it was. What matters is that it WAS something."

 * GreenSleeves whipsers "Pruno...."

 <Lucyne> "Yes, that, funny story."

 * GreenHoof nods and pulls out Pruno

 <Lucyne> "Tell you in the inn later."

 * Al_Dente rubs his eyes and hits himself in the face. "Funny!"

 <Lucyne> Lucy says quickly, face twitching.

 * GreenHoof gives Sleeves the Pruno

 * Chinook tries finding his water flask and takes a sip

 <Liven_Up> "Tell us what happened to Hearth, and where she went to."

 <Lucyne> "Which tunnel which tunnel?"

 * GreenSleeves drinks it eagerly, feeling somewhat rejuvenated even if it is just the alcohol.

 <Lucyne> "We split here..."
 <Lucyne> Lucyne twitches as she points to the fissure

 <Aoyin> "Riight... I'll hold you to that." He shudders, glancing around, trying to hide his machete in his wing again.

 * Able_Tome with a pained gasp his eyes shoot open, body shivering from internal sensation of agony, "Ughhhh...."

 <GreenHoof> "Do you know which way she went?"

 <Liven_Up> "Wait... did she fall down there?"

 <Lucyne> "No, she took another tunnel."
 <Lucyne> "I think."

 <Aoyin> "Why would she..?"

 <Lucyne> "one of them followed me."

 * Al_Dente groans and starts to yell. "Holy shit! My oval feels like a head."

 <Lucyne> "the other one her."
 <Lucyne> "i think."

 <Liven_Up> "Well that's the first shred of good news I've heard all day..."

 <Lucyne> "can't remember."

 <Aoyin> "ONE of them? Oh god, there's more than one?"

 <Lucyne> "thoughts racing."
 <Lucyne> "what day is it?"
 <Lucyne> "unimportant."

 <Chinook> "...the other one?"

 <Lucyne> Lucy looks to a new cavern

 * Aoyin shakes his head. "Lucyne... How long were you down there? Any ideas?"

 * Able_Tome brings his hooves to his face, rolling slowly on the back, "Ugh... a bit... quiet, p-please...", he whispers

 <GreenHoof> "We don't know which one?"

 <Liven_Up> "Lucy, calm down. Take a deep breath, and focus your mind, okay?"

 <Lucyne> "here? maybe 30 minutes"
 <Lucyne> "or 4 horus?"

 * Goldentouch_ nods at chinook before listening to the horror of another one

 <Lucyne> "can't tell."
 <Lucyne> "forgot."
 <Lucyne> "more importantly."

 <Al_Dente> "LUCY! Where is Hearth!"

 <Lucyne> Lucyne fidgets as she moves to a new cave.
 <Lucyne> "remember seeing, cave...not this..."

 * Aoyin frowns, approaching Lucyne. "Iron Hoof said they fuck with your memories..." He looks her over well, keeping a bit of distance, trying to remember the details he'd picked up before.

 * Lucyne is all Mordaine solace in here

 <Liven_Up> "Hey... try giving her one of the berries..."

 <Lucyne> "Found it!"

 * Able_Tome rolls back on his hooves. He stands up, wobbling and trying to consciously maintain his balance.

 <Lucyne> Lucyne proudly points to a tunnel.

 <Able_Tome> "No...."

 <Lucyne> "They're down here."

 <Chinook> "You seem pretty sure"

 * Aoyin walks in front of Lucyne, staring into her eyes.

 <Lucyne> "Follow me."

 <Aoyin> "Are they?"

 * Goldentouch_ walks into the tunnel "lets go then"

 * Lucyne bumps right into Ao

 <GreenHoof> "Today at some point."

 * Able_Tome looks at zebra with pained and exhausted expression, "Not... powerful enough..."

 <Lucyne> "no, you see."

 * Al_Dente follows behind Lucy, keeping close.

 <Lucyne> "talked to it."

 * GreenSleeves tries to stand, uneasy on his hooves.

 <Lucyne> "told me it's buddy went here."

 <Aoyin> "You talked to it, huh?"

 * GreenHoof helps Green up

 <Lucyne> "yep."

 * Liven_Up sighs and nods. "Very well. Let's just follow her..."

 <Lucyne> "dull fellow."

 <Aoyin> "Did it surprise you that its buddy went this way?"

 <GreenSleeves> "Thanks, Hoof."

 <Lucyne> "nah, it was following a good target."
 <Lucyne> "unlike me."
 <Lucyne> "heh."
 * Lucyne starts down the tunnel.
 <Lucyne> "now you see."

 * Able_Tome rubs his eyes and follows Lucyne, "Uh..."

 <Lucyne> "uhh."

 * GreenSleeves follows slowly and uneasily.

 <Lucyne> "where was I?"
 <Lucyne> "something about liquids."
 <Lucyne> "Oh yes! Ever wondered how super conductors work?"

 * Chinook brings up the rear and takes a swig from his flask

 <Lucyne> "Me too."

 <GreenHoof> "Why the hell did you and Hearth come here?!?"

 * Aoyin narrows his eyes, keeping a close watch on Lucyne, glancing around every now and then.

 <Lucyne> You follow the overly talkative schizo.

 <Able_Tome> "You s-seem... a b-bit... ugh...", he mutters with a tired voice, "... manic..."

 <Aoyin> "You seem pretty chipper today, Lucyne."

 <Lucyne> "yes."
 <Lucyne> "thoughts, racing."

 <Aoyin> "What is my name?"

 <Lucyne> "blame the flier."
 <Lucyne> "Aoyin."

 <Liven_Up> "You should take up yoga. or meditation."

 <Lucyne> "Batpony."

 * Al_Dente puts his hoof on Lucy's shoulder and turns her to him. "Lucy, cut the bullshit. Where is Hearth." Shaking her gently. "Where. Is. Hearth."

 <Lucyne> "I think."

 * Goldentouch_ follows along "Lucy... Magnets! How do they work!"

 <Able_Tome> "C-calm... a bit..."

 <Lucyne> "Or human?"

 * Aoyin humphs. "Good. That's very close."

 <Lucyne> "Magnets! Virtual photon exchange."
 <Lucyne> "hearth is down here."
 * Lucyne points down the tunnel
 <Lucyne> "so is the other flier."
 <Lucyne> "we should be quiet."

 * Goldentouch_ pumps the air "Magnets bitch!"

 <Able_Tome> "Wait..."

 * Al_Dente lets go of her and starts to make his way down the tunnel ahead of the others.

 * Goldentouch_ whispers that

 <Liven_Up> "Fucking magnets, how do they work?"

 <Aoyin> "Tell me, Lucyne. Why are YOU a bad target?" His voice is low, and he looks around.

 <Able_Tome> "W-where is Iron...?"

 <GreenHoof> "Why do ponies keep coming here in small numbers?"
 <GreenHoof> "We have to save her..."

 * Chinook merely grumbles at the noise pollution his team emanates

 <Liven_Up> "Iron is still back there. He'll catch up with us later."

 <Lucyne> "me? bad target, incompatible brain patterns, too, eh, something."

 * Able_Tome looks around the group, his eyes dazed a bit
 <Able_Tome> "L-lets wait for him..."

 * Lucyne trost along merrily

 <Able_Tome> "That anti m-magic shielding... w-we'll need it."

 <Lucyne> "nonsense."

 <Aoyin> "Incompatible brain patterns... Interesting. So tell me, did your flying friend tell you why they wanted whatever brain pattern?"

 * Goldentouch_ mentions something about able, almost another name for a cat then moves further

 <Lucyne> "i'll go talk to it."

 <Liven_Up> "We can't. Hearth is our priority. Mr. hoof is a bug guy, he can handle himself..."

 * Able_Tome looks at Lucyne, seeming frustrated, "Lucyne... s-stop right now."

 * Al_Dente gets along the wall and tries to motion to the others to get quiet and get down, crossing his hooves across his neck motioning to kill it.

 <Lucyne> "we only talked a little."
 <Lucyne> "got interrupted."

 * GreenHoof looks back at Sleeves "you ok?"

 <Lucyne> "stop?"
 <Lucyne> "yes."
 <Lucyne> "Noise."
 <Lucyne> "stop the noise."

 * Al_Dente tries to speak quietly back at them. "Shut up."

 <Lucyne> "so loud."

 * GreenSleeves grumbles 'Yeah fine."

 * Aoyin gets quiet, still staring at Lucyne.

 * Able_Tome glances at Liven, "A-additional fire power, Mr. Up... we need it..."

 <Lucyne> "everyone cut the noise."

 <Liven_Up> "Doctor."

 <Lucyne> "they hate noise."
 <Lucyne> "they like...quiet."

 * Goldentouch_ zips his mouth

 * Able_Tome huffs, "Whatever...", and switches his attention to Lucyne again, "We *can* wait for at least s-several minutes... c-come on."

 * Aoyin mutters, "We found that out... Though that one seemed pretty weak to me."

 * Liven_Up whispers, "am I the only one who's lost?"

 * Lucyne 's face twitches as the cavern widens into a rocks expanse, a fissure running through the middle

 * Chinook slowly grinds his teeth at the muttering three

 * Able_Tome 's left ear flickers, "T-this. Is. Not. Wise..."

 <Lucyne> You start to hear white noise again...
 <Lucyne> "you should.
 <Lucyne> "uh."
 <Lucyne> "hide.2

 * Liven_Up groans. "Damn not again..."

 * Goldentouch_ thinks of slender

 <Lucyne> There are many holes and stalactites for plenty of cover.

 * Lucyne walks up to a rock, trips and stays laying.

 * Goldentouch_ rolls to cover in a hole

 * GreenHoof gets behind cover

 * Liven_Up goes and pushes Lucy out of sight before hiding himself.

 * Able_Tome hangs his head, feeling traces of dizziness, his mind and body slowly recuperating, "... only several... ugh..."

 * Chinook finds a hole and takes cover

 * Aoyin casually makes his way to one of the holes, keeping his instincts stamped down.

 <Lucyne> The noise is...significantly more quiet than in the other cave.

 * GreenSleeves follows behind GreenHoof.

 * Al_Dente keeps his big bone ready as he makes his way to some stalags.

 * Goldentouch_ looks at chinook from the hole next to him and makes random hoof signals

 <Lucyne> You then start to hear a faint, throaty moan.

 * Aoyin attempts to identify

 <Lucyne> It slowly picks up in volume as it grows closer.

 * Liven_Up righters his grip on his sword again.

 <Able_Tome> "I still urge you to r-reconsider, L-lu... h-huh?"

 * Lucyne is out cold.

 * Chinook would try to decipher said signals, but he's more concerned as to that goddam moan.

 * Aoyin 's ears twitch and swivel

 * Bob_Puppet softly whispers "Hearth..."

 * Goldentouch_ listens to the moans and stops the signals

 * Al_Dente tries to make out anything deeper in th cavern, his eyes focusing in.

 <Chinook> "Lu! Shit!"

 <Bob_Puppet> As he points across the fissure

 * Able_Tome looks around his ears perked up, left one twitching a bit as he grimaces, "Uh..."

 * Aoyin glances out, looking across the fissure.

 * Liven_Up looks where Bobh is pointing.

 * Goldentouch_ look to where bob is pointing

 <Able_Tome> "What the..."

 * Lucyne turns over and returns to lucidity, mostly.
 <Chinook> "Oh no..."
 <Lucyne> Looking across the fissure, you see a little bit of Hearth-Colored coat peeking out from behind two stalactites
 * Able_Tome observes the mint colored pony with tired eyes, slight concern showing up
 * Liven_Up looks around and tries to find a safe path towards it.
 * Goldentouch_ looks for any bridge across the fissure
 * Aoyin starts out, but stops dead, looking absolutely everywhere that he could, looking for ANYTHING that looked out of place
 * Lucyne is blissfully unaware of anything but the politics discussion in her head.
 <Lucyne> the creature...
 <Lucyne> IT hover slowly across the fissure, closing in on Hearth in a crawling speed
 <Lucyne> this one is significantly smaller.
 * Aoyin hisses softly. "No..."
 <Chinook> "Guys...we gotta do something...stat!"
 <Lucyne> About the size of a large pony.
 <Liven_Up> "Guys... we can take this one... or at least distract it enough to get Hearth..."
 <Lucyne> Still...just looking at it breaks basically any attempt at coherent thought.
 <Lucyne> You have no chance of fighting it.
 * Able_Tome rubs his forehead and slowly extracts his sword, "Uh... a-after that *thing* in the other... wait..."
 <Able_Tome> "I... I do have c-cold iron s-shard..."
 * Goldentouch_ looks away and starts moving slowly from cover to cover away from the group
 * Al_Dente raises his bone in the air towards Hearth. "Someone with me, run and grab her quickly!"
 <Liven_Up> "That only works for Fey. These, if my knowledge doesn't fail me, is some form of Aberration..."
 <Lucyne> ">implying a monarchist system ever worked" Lucy gleefully tells herself.
 * Able_Tome looks at his saddlebag with hesitating look, "N-not sure if it will... affect it, but it worked on... ugh... c-chasm's creatures."
 <Aoyin> "We have to just grab her..."
 * GreenSleeves mumbles "Fuck you Lucy, long live King Green Sleeves"
 <Able_Tome> "Hm..."
 * Goldentouch_ looks at al signaling he'll distract it
 <Lucyne> the creature slowly swerves around the fissure...before turning around and heading the other direction
 * Chinook is gonna hang back until an opening to grab Hearth comes up
 * Aoyin frowns. "Wait..."
 * Liven_Up quickly gets out of sight.
 * Able_Tome looks between Golden and Sleeves "W-wait..."
 <Al_Dente> "She has a fucking kid, we need to grab her when we get the chance. Someone with me to just run and grab her. Wait till it gets out of sight and shit."
 <Lucyne> the fissure separates you from Hearth...it'd be tough to jump, about 15ft
 * Aoyin retracts back into his hole, just glancing around the corner, using his peripheral to keep track of the creature.
 * Chinook steadies himself and prep his wings
 * GreenHoof_ is now known as GreenHoof
 * Goldentouch_ nods to chinook telling him to signal when he's ready
 <Lucyne> Any action outside of cover would easily alert the creature.
 <Liven_Up> "How are we going to get across that..."
 <Lucyne> The fissure is roughly 30ft deep
 <Al_Dente> "Oh fuck this is serious."
 * Chinook mutters "15ft...no wind....possibly lethal drop...action will alert creature, no doubt...."
 * Able_Tome frowns, "L-lets see how this one g-goes..."
 <Al_Dente> "Does anyone have any rope?"
 * Able_Tome leans closer to the corner and peeks, trying to listen to what is going on out there.
 <Lucyne> The creature is aimlessly floating around...you see no pattern in it's movement at all...
 * Aoyin looks around again, keeping the creature in his peripheral. He mutters to himself, "Creatures there... Fissure's there... The last one wasn't bad, and this one is smaller..."
 * Al_Dente points around the sides. "Check if there is any way that we. MIGHT be able to climb down?"
 * Goldentouch_ picks up a medium stone and looks around for anywhere we could use to get across
 * GreenHoof looks around, trying to think of something
 * Aoyin glances up. "What if I stuck to the hanging rocks, flew between each... I could save myself if I fell..."
 <Lucyne> You are currently in a large cavern with lots of cover. This cavern is split in half by a 15ft wide, 30ft deep fissure. You are on the right hand side of this fissure, the tunnel to the upper levels is behind you. Across the fissure behind a group of stalactites, you see a faint glimpse of Hearth Fire. The only way to cross the fissure you can see is a spot where the fissure is only
 <Lucyne> 35ft wider which lies further inward into the cavern, precariously close to the creature that is aimlessly drifting around the deeper half of the chamber.
 * Able_Tome returns back into the cover as his eye twitches as his right ear falls flat on his head, "B-bad... are those e-even... wait... why did the other..."
 * Able_Tome looks at the group, "W-what was Lucyne doing i-in the water again?"
 * Lucyne perks up "Hiding, then talking."
 * Aoyin mutters, just loud enough for them to hear, "Lucy... What did it want?"
 <Liven_Up> "Maybe... have a few of us distract it? Not fight it, just... lead it away..."
 <Able_Tome> "T-talking... s-so the creature was so p-preoccupied with conversation that t didn't noticed u-us"
 <Lucyne> "uhhh..."
 * Al_Dente points at the Bob puppet, and motions over to the cavern. "What if we have Bob distract that thing somehow? Maybe get some rocks to fall make sounds and all that stuff?"
 * Goldentouch_ looks at at group "we need a distraction... Draw the things attention while people get over the gap"
 * Lucyne scratches her head.
 <Chinook> "Lucy? Mind having a chat with it?"
 * Able_Tome rubs his head, "S-someone will have to... c-converse with it..."
 <Lucyne> "It wanted food...but not like food food...different food."
 <Al_Dente> "When bob distracts it, we have one or two fo us go and jump across at that shorter spot, we can grab hearth and move outta here."
 <GreenHoof> "Get a hold of yourself, Lucyne! Please, make sense!"
 * Goldentouch_ looks at Lucy "wait... You said it can't really hurt you right?"
 * Aoyin shakes his head, muttering, "We're Lyoko now..."
 <Lucyne> "Look it...didn't talk to clear..."
 <Goldentouch_> "Your mind?"
 <Bob_Puppet> "I'll do it."
 * Bob_Puppet gets up.
 * Able_Tome 's left ear twitches, "... b-bad idea, but... huh?"
 <Bob_Puppet> "You get Hearth, I'll distract it."
 <GreenHoof> "B-Bob?"
 * Liven_Up looks to Bob. "Wait, let's thing about this."
 * Bob_Puppet says perfectly calm.
 <Bob_Puppet> "No, this is about Hearth."
 * Aoyin frowns as he looks at Bob, "You can't be..."
 <Bob_Puppet> "I will do it."
 <Chinook> "Bob, come on man!"
 * Able_Tome glances at Bob with concern, "Don't. E-even. Think about it!"
 <GreenHoof> "Alright, Bob"
 <Lucyne> "Uhh Bob, you know that...uh..."
 <Al_Dente> "Bang, were into this."
 * Lucyne is very confused.
 <Al_Dente> "We got a plan."
 * GreenSleeves rolls his eyes "Now Lucy is lucid..."
 <Bob_Puppet> "Someone needs to confront it, like Iron is."
 * Bob_Puppet motions to Lucy
 <Liven_Up> "Bob... promis you'll be smart, be safe..."
 * Able_Tome 's eye twitches again, his body shivering slightly , "Don't. Y-you. Fucking. *Dare*..."
 <GreenSleeves> "Hoof and I can grab Hearth."
 <Bob_Puppet> "And with all due respect, I don't trust Lucy in her current state."
 <GreenHoof> "Sleeves, lets jump the gap while Bob is distracting."
 <Liven_Up> "Guys... he's right."
 <Lucyne> "Uhhh, yea."
 * Aoyin swears softly. "Bob... You know what this might mean, right?"
 * Lucyne wobbles a little.
 * Goldentouch_ looks at bob "I'm going with you then bob"
 <Bob_Puppet> "No, you get Hearth."
 * Bob_Puppet turns to the fissure."
 <Bob_Puppet> "I'll be up and back in no time! You'll see!"
 * Bob_Puppet smiles
 <Liven_Up> "This is too risky for more than one of us."
 <Chinook> "Bob...."
 * Able_Tome frowns at Lucyne and then Bob, "B-bob... y-you're a b-bloody unicorn!"
 <Bob_Puppet> "Don't worry! Everything is gonna be fine!"
 * Bob_Puppet smiles
 <Al_Dente> ">fine."
 * Liven_Up smiles. "Try telling it a joke, Bob. That will be sure to work."
 <Chinook> "Oh don't you fucking...."
 <Able_Tome> "W-what did you... *feel* back t-there?"
 * GreenHoof smiles "alright Bob. Me and Sleeves will go!"
 <Bob_Puppet> "If Lucy says it's so nice, how bad can it be?"
 * Aoyin forces a smile, "Yeah, Bob. We'll be getting you and Hearth drinks at the inn in no time..."
 * GreenSleeves looks at Bob. "Bob..... Don't fall in."
 * Goldentouch_ looks at bob "I....fine..."
 * Liven_Up puts his hood on Bob's shoulder. "You got this Bro..."
 * Bob_Puppet smiles
 * Liven_Up pulls his fellow docot into a hug.
 <Bob_Puppet> "Don't worry!"
 * Bob_Puppet embraces Liven
 <Bob_Puppet> "Thanks for being my godfaget."
 * Aoyin glances back towards where Hearth hid. "We... Yeah."
 <Bob_Puppet> "But I gotta do this."
 * Able_Tome grits his teeth, looking at Bob with tired expression, leaning against the wall, "What. Did. You. Feel, Good doctor?"
 * Goldentouch_ stares at bob "are you sure..."
 <Bob_Puppet> "What do you mean, Able?"
 <Lucyne> "Uhhh, I'm forgetting something..."
 <Liven_Up> "Any time bitch, anytime." he lets go of him. "Now quite stalling, any longer and you may start to lose your hair. Again."
 * Able_Tome points his hoof in direction where everyone came "W-were you affected b-back in the last c-cavern?"
 <Lucyne> "ughgh..."
 <Bob_Puppet> "Some mild discomfort, not worse than a Liven hug."
 <Al_Dente> "Greens you two ready to go when Bob does."
 <GreenSleeves> "We're ready to go whenever."
 * Bob_Puppet chuckles and bropunches Liven
 <GreenHoof> "We're ready to go across the chasm."
 * Chinook says to Bob with a smile and a tear running down his cheek "Hey Bobby...Thanks for saving my Life."
 <Bob_Puppet> "Now, let's go have a chat!"
 <Aoyin> "See... See you soon, Bob."
 * Able_Tome is getting increasingly frustrated, "D-don't... do it... we can wait for Iron Hoof."
 * Goldentouch_ gives bob a hug grinning "Keep that mane short~"
 <Lucyne> "There was...uhjh..."
 * Al_Dente facehooves and points to the shortest point between the chasms. "We cant wait, what if he is already dead?"
 <Liven_Up> "We don't have the kind of time, it's only a matter of it before it discovers us, or worse, Hearth."
 * Bob_Puppet nods before a blast of white noise sends you all cowering
 <Bob_Puppet> The creature has noticed you
 <Lucyne> It begins
 <GreenSleeves> "Whelp."
 * Able_Tome shoots a look at Dente, "Underestimating. The. G-guide, Dente... ugh..."
 <Able_Tome> "H-huh?"
 <Lucyne> "Uhhh, I'm forgetting something REALLY important..."
 * Liven_Up covers his head with his hooves. "Take care of it Bob!"
 <GreenHoof> "Shit."
 <GreenHoof> "Sleeves, ready?"
 * Lucyne mumbles
 * Aoyin retracts into the cave for a short moment, swearing softly before reemerging. "We... Have to."
 <GreenSleeves> "Whenever you are."
 * Al_Dente looks towards the creature and tries to hold firm. "Shit, this is going to get hectic."
 * Bob_Puppet breathes in and rounds the corner.
 * Goldentouch_ gives bob one more look "fly you fool"
 * Able_Tome walks to Lucyne and leans closer to her, "S-speak!"
 <Chinook> "B...Bob!"
 <Lucyne> "Uhh, I...it's so loud..."
 <Able_Tome> "W-what is it...?"
 <Lucyne> Ok, so we begin using turns now: Roll init
 * GreenSleeves turns to GreenHoof, "I wish Lucy would just get out with it already."

 <Able_Tome> "W-we have... invisibility potion."
 <Lucyne> "won't work, able, they don't have eyes."
 * Lucyne blurts out in a moment of clarity
 * Able_Tome 's face twitches "'L-least... ugh!"
 * Goldentouch_ lines up ready to sprint as soon as bob does his thing
 <Able_Tome> "S-so what... detecting t-thoughts? Sounds? Crap..."
 <Lucyne> Chin's up
 * Aoyin considers how hard it would be to clear his thoughts
 <Lucyne> "uh, like...uhm..."
 <Lucyne> "don't know"
 * Able_Tome shoots a look at Lucyne, his body tensing up "N-no eyes... then what are the options? W-what are *you*. Not. Telling..."
 <Lucyne> "Uhh, not sure..."
 * Chinook readies up to grab hearth, post-distraction.
 * Lucyne is very confused.
 <Able_Tome> "H-how do you know that they -don't- have eyes?... m-maybe they...ugh!"
 <Lucyne> Al, go for it
 * Able_Tome shivers his ears flickering, the right one lying motionless on his head
 * Al_Dente looks at the others and motions for Bob to go distract the creature. "Go bob!"
 * Goldentouch_ looks at bob before he goes "Bob, I'd gladly do this for you a thousand times over.... Tell me when you’re ready"
 * Able_Tome glances at Al, "Bloody hell..."
 * Chinook nods at Bob "Say the word"
 <Lucyne> Lucyne's up

 <Lucyne> Welp
 * Able_Tome 's eye twitches again, tired expression filling him up, "F-fusion? Really... ugh...", looks away from her, "Another. Episode... g-great."
 <Lucyne> With a sudden burst of speed, is crashes into the stalactite formation Hearth is hiding behind, moaning and wailing.
 <Able_Tome> "W-what the-?!"
 <Lucyne> Bob's turn
 * Able_Tome peeks out of the corner, observing the creature, "How the... w-why?"
 * Bob_NPC 's face falls into pure terror as he sees the creature assault the hiding spot.
 * Bob_NPC grits his teeth and runs out yelling "I'M OVER HERE! COME AND GET ME YOU BIG FLYING STING RAY!"
 <Lucyne> The creature...takes the bait...quite willingly...
 * Able_Tome 's eyes widen as he shoots a look at Bob, "N-no... not bloody Ruby...."
 <Lucyne> Sleeves, you're up
 <Lucyne> Along with whoever delayed their turn
 * Goldentouch_ takes of into a sprint once the ray took the bait
 <Lucyne> How do you wish to cross the fissure?
 * Chinook follows immediately afterwards
 * Goldentouch_ want to running jump over the gap
 * GreenSleeves waits for Hoof to be ready.
 <Lucyne> Roll d20 for jump

 * Chinook would glance back, but he's kinda got a situation going.
 <Lucyne> To Goldie's luck, there is a relatively workable way upwards further into the cavern
 <Lucyne> Able, your turn
 * Able_Tome continues to look at the scene from the cover, motionless. He focuses his attention at Chinook, trying to cast a telekinesis spell, trying to support pegasus

 * GreenHoof nods to GreenSleeves, both of them running for the five foot gap to jump across
 <Lucyne> You reach the gap the following round
 <Lucyne> Liven's turn
 * Liven_Up does the same and runs to where the five foot gap is.
 <Lucyne> Ao, your turn
 * Aoyin darts out of his hiding place, glancing at Bob and the creature to check what they were doing before running towards the ravine
 <Lucyne> The creature is now deadset on Bob for some reason, completely ignoring hearth, flying closer menacingly.

 <Lucyne> Ech, I forgot the damage
 <Lucyne> I think it was 1 or d4
 <Lucyne> You take one damage because your GM is tired and has a headache
 <Lucyne> Sleeves' turn dawns
 * GreenSleeves leaps across the narrow and makes his way to Hearth.

 <Lucyne> The rocks of ages fall

 <Lucyne> A wall erected
 <Lucyne> A slap to Able
 * GoldenTouch looks at bob as the ceiling crumbles "I'll be the best godfaggot you could ever ask for..."
 * GreenHoof runs back "Come on, you two! We are LEAVING!"
 <Lucyne> "RUN!"

 <Bawb> "And two..."
 <Lucyne> "THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COWARD AND A REALIST; YOU TAUGHT ME."
 <Liven_Up> "ABLE I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE ANYONE ELSE TODAY NOW LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"

 <Able_Tome> "Not even *attempting* to do anyth-.... huhhhh...."
 * Bawb boops the creature on the nose
 <Bawb> "ur a faget"
 <Lucyne> And with that, the creature digs into Bob's soft brain matter
 <Liven_Up> "You saved my life before Able, and if I can't stop bob I'll sure as FUCK try and stop you from throwing yours away!"
 <Able_Tome> "..."
 * Aoyin 's ears twitch, just catching the words, cracking a soft smile at their friend's last sacrifice.
 * Lucyne drags Able out with the other as the dust descends
 * Liven_Up feels a shiver run down his spine as the part of his mind that spoke to his friend when they were seperated... fades...
 * GreenHoof helps Lucyne drag Able because MUDPONE

 <Lucyne> And such, you slowly ascend back the tunnel
 * Aoyin whispers, "We will never forget you... See you based uniboy..."
 <Lucyne> One victim up
 <Lucyne> One hero down
 * GoldenTouch is with the group
 * Chinook only keeps a loos hold on Hearth, he quickly relents when the dust settles.
 <Lucyne> Returning to the upper fissure, you hear a sound, a loud sound
 <Lucyne> It rumbles and thunders in your ears
 <Lucyne> The sound of a thousand hooves
 <Lucyne> The Wild Hunt
 <Lucyne> As it passes by deep below
 * Bawb ascends to the Heavens, living a life that, upon recollection... was better than anything he could have hoped for
 <Lucyne> As if as a silent commenderate of honor
 <Lucyne> And then
 <Lucyne> All is silent
 <Lucyne> So very, very quiet
 <Lucyne> And then, it started to rain
 * Aoyin silently weeps, as if to not break the sanctity of Bob's sacrifice.
 * Liven_Up doesn't say a word as he looks around. "Are... are we all okay...?"
 * Lucyne shakily gets up to Liven
 <Lucyne> "Y-Yes Doctor."
 <Aoyin> "Oh. It's raining..."
 * GoldenTouch nods his head not saying anything
 * Lucyne twitches and quivers as she walks around, aimlessly
 * Able_Tome is silent, his thoughts drifting somewhere far far away
 * Al_Dente shakes his head and looks up at the sky speaking to himself. "I hope from this day we all remember what Bob gave his life for, he gave it for us. And the only way we can repay that is that if each of us is alittle more like Bob each day. We shall not let his good spirit and inspiration to this town end with this."
 * GreenSleeves walks next to Hoof, crying like a bitch.
 * Chinook just stares at the sky. The gray blanket is the only thing that greets his eyes.
 <Lucyne> Moments pass
 * Liven_Up tries to remain calm and composed, holding back his tears. "G-good..." Despite his best efforts, he's breathing heavily and shaking. "I-I think... we should all... take a breather..."
 <Lucyne> Seconds? Minutes? Hours?
 <Lucyne> No one can tell
 * CherenkovLight-phone is now known as Cheren-npc
 * Hearth can't move of her own free will, letting Chinook carry her as she sobs deeply
 * GreenHoof walks, trying to comfort GreenSleeves, despite also crying like a bitch
 <Lucyne> Before the sound of clanking armor greets the return of a heavily wounded minotaur.
 * Able_Tome extends his hoof to the side, "Berries...", he mutters one word with an emotionless voice.
 <Lucyne> Iron falls to the ground, panting, blood drenching his whole body.
 * Aoyin shudders with his breathing, turning to look at the armor-clad minotaur. "Minotaur..."
 <GreenHoof> "Iron Hoof! Are you okay?!?"
 * Liven_Up turns to see the minotaur. "M-Mr. Hoof..." he slowly walks over to him. "S-someon h-ehlp me remove his armor..."
 <Lucyne> Iron shudders and returns to standing position
 <Lucyne> Iron waves away help
 <Lucyne> "It's dead."
 <Lucyne> He says emotionlessly.
 * Able_Tome 's eye twitches
 * GoldenTouch chucks his berry at able very hard "Take your berry"
 <Aoyin> "... Good job..."
 * Chinook lets go of Hearth
 <Able_Tome> "One..."
 <Lucyne> Iron breathes heavily, his huge breathes being the loudest thing in the so deathly silent cavern.
 <Bawb> Ladies and Gentlemen... I would like to formally say... This marks the end of Bob's Wild Ride 10.  Truly... a ride to end all rides.  We hope it has served its purpose...  And as a last, final word from OOC 'Bob'... I would like you all to know... It has been a pleasure.  And I say that from the bottom of my heart.  Now... If you excuse me I'm not really up to typing right now... Love you all.
 <Liven_Up> "M-Mr. Hoof... Do you r-require... medical at-at-attention?"
 * Able_Tome is staring into space
 <Lucyne> Iron carefully counts the number of ponies...
 * Aoyin opens his mouth a few times as if to try and speak. "... I lost mine... I'm sorry..." He shakes his head, thankful for the rain.
 <Lucyne> "Come on, here isn't the right place..."
 <Lucyne> He calmly says
 <Bawb> So long as love, friendship and corny jokes thrive in 4cannon?
 <Bawb> That's as long as I'll be here.
 <Cheren-npc> And you kept your hair at the end as well!
 <Liven_Up> "M-Mr. Hoof... y-y-you're hurt..."
 * Lucyne pats Liven's head
 <Lucyne> "Let's go."
 * Able_Tome slowly stands up and glances at the group, "Return... relegated... provisions...", he says with emotionless voice, not paying attention to his surroundings.
 <Lucyne> Iron calmly motions for you to follow
 <Lucyne> "I can...carry anyone who needs..."
 <Lucyne> He says with deep sorrow
 * Chinook trudges along, gaze fixed at the sky.
 * Hearth falls to the ground as Chinook lets go of her, able to nothing but cry and breathe when needed to refill her lungs in a wheezing manner
 <Liven_Up> "Come on... w-we're fine... let me... I'll patch yo u-up...."
 <Liven_Up> "Well... sh-she may need help..."
 * Liven_Up shakily motions to Hearth.
 <Chinook> "Hearth"
 <Lucyne> Iron calmly walks over and scoops up Hearth very, very tenderly.
 * GreenHoof cries like a bitch, throwing a hoof around Sleeves "S-s-sleeves... H-he fell i-in..."
 <Liven_Up> "Watch her stomach..."
 <Lucyne> His face showing the face of a thousand memories
 <GreenSleeves> "I-i-i-.... I know!"
 * GreenSleeves 's crying intensifies.
 <Lucyne> Iron rocks Hearth very carefully as he turns.
 <Lucyne> "We...need to go..."
 * Aoyin isn't crying. He isn't sobbing. No, that's the rain, and he's just choking a little, that's all...
 * GreenHoof 's crying intensifies as well
 * GreenSleeves bear hugs Hoof, crying into his shoulder.
 * Hearth lets herself be picked up, her eyes closed as the tears flow, her breathing erratic and labored as she sobs
 * Chinook walks alongside, tears all spent.
 <Liven_Up> "let's... please. Do you still... have any of the t-tea I brought you before?"
 * Able_Tome 's eyes twitches harder, his expression darkening at he observes the scene
 * GoldenTouch walks alongside chinook with the same expression
 * GreenHoof returns the hug, bawwwwin
 * Al_Dente stands in the rain and looks upwards, shaking his hooves at the sky angrily. "This wasnt what we deserved! He didnt deserve this! He deserved better!:
 <Lucyne> Iron frowns with such pain
 <Lucyne> Nothing left to do or say
 <Lucyne> Only memories
 <Liven_Up> "G-guys... I think we sh-should get some sleep-p-p when we get back..."
 * Aoyin whispers to himself, "I n-never... Why... I'm sure I could have..." He shakes his head, staring at the ground and follows Iron Hoof wherever he would go.
 <Chinook> !roll d20
 <GameServ> 10 == 10
 <Lucyne> Iron pats Liven "It's ok...I know...exactly how you feel."
 * Chinook decides against it
 * GoldenTouch nods and moves over to liven "Lets go...."
 <Lucyne> Iron carefully beckons the rest to follow
 * Bawb thinks about it.  The honor of sacrificing himself to save the people he cares about?  The honor of dying for the best cause possible?
 * Bawb deserves it
 <Liven_Up> "Mr. Hoof... when you... rest up... c-can you p-please help... and get h-his bo... bo... bo..." he can't bring himself to say the words.
 * Lucyne follows suit
 <Lucyne> "Of course Liven."
 <Lucyne> Iron says very softly.
 * Liven_Up nods slowly, still shaking.
 * Able_Tome walks along, silent.
 * Lucyne can hardly walk in a straight line, thoughts a jumble.
 * Al_Dente follows with his head hung low, his face awash with no emotions.
 * GreenHoof and GreenSleeves walk along crying and hugging each other
 <Lucyne> Iron calmly brings you up, to his home, by the pool of water
 * GoldenTouch wraps his foreleg around liven trying to comfort him
 <Lucyne> Iron thinks...the ponies need their kind more than anything
 <Liven_Up> "So... do you s-still have the tea I b-brought?"
 <Lucyne> Iron nods "But not now Liven, come."
 <Liven_Up> "W-we could use a c-cup... heh... yeah..."
 * Able_Tome shoots a cold look at Lucyne and other unicorns as he sits down.
 * Lucyne_ is now known as Lucyne
 <Lucyne> Iron leads you to the entrance
 * GoldenTouch follows silently
 <Lucyne> Iron walks you all the way back to Town...where you are the bringers of the news...
 * Liven_Up keeps muttering about daily things. "So dirty... w-we could all u-use a bath... bet we s-smell too..."
 <Lucyne> "And someday, someone doesn't come home..." Lucyne whispers
 <Lucyne> And that's all for tonight
 <Chinook> I'm out. Good luck out there Bawb, but I gotta sleep
 <Lucyne> Thank you for attending this no-sleep, no-preparation adventure of lowest quality
 * GoldenTouch stops liven "Liven...come with me, lets go get some tea..."
