[S] Amdran: In the Belly of the Beast

last we left off, Amdran and Ventus opened an entrance into the stone wall on the northern end of the grand hall containing the Euclidian Gauntlets
into the belly of the beast they descend...
==BEGIN==
Ventus
"Need to get eyes on any enemies in here" i look around for any enemies

@DM_TZIVOS
Walking through the newly created entrance, you two end up inside a huge, open space, 60 feet in diameter, the ceiling dozens of feet high
The walls, floor, and ceiling are all composed of what appears to be the same material as the stone mold
After a few seconds, ventus notices a faint rumbling in the ground
Ventus
"oh no, not molemen... maybe worms? Amdran, what have you been fighting in here anyways?"
Amdran
Uh,a.buch.of.shit.
@DM_TZIVOS
The room gradually begins to quake stronger as you two converse
Cracks begin to appear in the floor
Ventus
"EXAMPLES PLEASE?"
Amdran
IT?MIGHT?BE?A?WORM?I?DONT?KNOW?
@DM_TZIVOS
suddenly, a deafening *ROAR* fills the air as the ground explodes in front of you two
dust fills the room and you hear a menacing growl coming from the explosion
Ventus
"i'ma say not a worm... maybe an alaskan bull one tho"
@DM_TZIVOS
When the dust clears, you two come face to face with a large, stone beast
Ventus
how big tho?
@DM_TZIVOS
draconic in appearance, with four scaly legs ending in razor sharp claws, piercing stone eyes, and a gaping stone maw filled with rows of teeth
the Stone Drake has appeared
standing 20 feet tall and occupying a 10x10 ft. space, the beast lets loose a bellowing *ROAR* as it aims its sights on you two

Ventus
"OH so that's what it does!"
@DM_TZIVOS
[For clarification, there is a glitch with Amdran's character sheet which currently displays an incorrect value for the number of damage dice he has, which is 4 instead of 3. I'm letting him keep it for just this boss fight]
[After which it will be changed back to normal]

Your head briefly becomes covered in a layer of stone from the gauntlets as you smash into the Drake with an immense force and blast away another large chunk of its stone body
The Drake howls in pain, the sound reverberating across the entire room
suddenly, it begins to change
Ventus
"...second phase, why is there always a second phase!"

The energy washes over your entire body as the gauntlets begin to grow
They expand, covering your arms
Ventus
"ummmm what?"
@DM_TZIVOS
Once they make contact with your armor, they begin to expand even faster, coloring the suit a distinct sheen of black
Your entire body is engulfed in a searing hot energy once more
Ventus
"duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude" Ven has stars in his eyes that you can't see under the helmet
Amdran
AMDRAN PUNCHES THE FUCKING JAG
Ventus
"...what're you doing?"
@DM_TZIVOS
Your fist connects with a blinding EXPLOSION of light and energy
The floor crumbles to dust and colors begin flooding your vision
it takes a second for both of you to realize you're FALLING
falling through an intensely lush area covered in every inch by plant life and populated by innumerable fauna
Ventus
Ven grabs Amdran and uses the hover kit to slow their fall
@DM_TZIVOS
after falling for a few more seconds, you two hit a dense layer of foliage which cushions you both and slows your descent
After passing through the foliage, you finally hit ground
flora and fauna of all kinds stretches for dozens of feet in every direction
Ventus
"what... just happened? where was that dungeon anyway?"
@DM_TZIVOS
the plants, invigorated by the destruction of the jag prison, begin wildly growing in size and length, climbing toward the opening up above
Amdran
"On.a.mountain."
Ventus
Ven takes a look around to see if there's a mountain anywhere!
@DM_TZIVOS
Ventus, you can only see the flora and fauna as they crawl and climb toward the top
Ventus
"okay, i thought you just punched and destroyed a mountain... woulda been awesome if you did"
@DM_TZIVOS
Amdran, the energy quickly drains from your body as the gauntlets morph back into their original shape
Ventus
"also those are fucking amazing fyi"
@DM_TZIVOS
both of you can see a blue Spirograph on the ground, just a few feet from where you landed
Amdran
Amdran laughs. "Thanks."
Ventus
"what is...?"
Amdran
Amdran shrugs. "Probably.one.of.those.gate.things."
"You?wanna?go?first?"
Ventus
Ven shrugs "fuck it sure" he jumps in
Amdran
Amdran follows.
@DM_TZIVOS
Ventus, as soon as you make contact with the spirograph, it flashes red in tandem with the circular pieces on the backs of your gloves, surrounding you in a ball of electrifying energy
Before you can say or do anything, the ball of energy disappears in a burst of blinding light
Amdran, as soon as you make contact with the spirograph, you feel reality fold in on itself before promptly unfolding
when you regain your senses, you find yourself back in your hive
