WHO: OPEN
WHEN: 6/7
WHERE: Salduba Ruins, Attleton
WHAT: Dungeon crawl for a miracle cure herb requested by a sickly young girl. Hunt for it and keep it or hunt for it and turn it in for monies! (or anyone who just wants to explore a ruin)
Once the directions to the Salduba Ruins in Attleton were acquired, it took almost half the day to actually reach said ruins. Located well outside of any kind of civilization, the ruins appeared to have been once been an old foreste keep - thick vines and moss cover the high walls, though the ground is uneven, cracked in places- parts of the keep itself collapsed from attacks and one can presume, as series of earthquakes. Though nature is clearly attempting to reclaim the area over what has been built and left in this place, there are two obvious entrances to the Keep - one on the South wall and one on the North; A high arched doorway that leads into what's left of the building proper.
Once inside the keep the air will feel, smell and taste dusty and stale through minimal circulation - there's no lighting to guide your way, and the restless sound of footsteps - man or animal (or perhaps manimal). The hall branches off towards the eastern and western side of the Keep, both paths leading towards the upper and lower floors and the heart of the keep in question. But the Keep though abandoned by its original owners, is not entirely empty - one may encounter bandits, or even hostile creatures; not only that, but the halls and rooms are not the safest any longer. Each room may be booby trapped, either by the new residents or the old, and those traps may trigger at the slightest provocation. However, if you're lucky enough to survive, you might find treasures to reward your curiosity.
[ OOC: Tag into any of the four locations to explore~! Feel free to threadjack or team up with others joining in. But be caaaaaaaaareful~ ]

maybe some treasure too, but as always he was going to remain on the ready.]no subject
This would be so much easier if we had a better description of the herb.. the book didn't have a picture of it really.
[ And she stops short at a familiar face. ] Oh.. Sun!
no subject
That or some way to have its scent.
[Since nothing beats a dragon Slayer nose. He does pause when they run into Sun.]
Oh hey you here for the quest too?
no subject
Oh hey, it's you two. [Sun smiles at them. He wasn't expecting to bump into any familiar faces down here.]
Yep. A Faunus has got to make money. Might as well do it while helping someone out at the same time.
no subject
[ Truth, the dragonslayer's senses - especially Natsu's - were exceptional. Still, she smiled back at Sun, nodding. ]
I know what you mean. Since we're both down here, why don't we work together to find it?
[ She glanced over towards Natsu to get his opinion on the suggestion - sounds good, right? ]
no subject
[He says with a resigned shrug.]
Sure sounds good to me. More eyes to look around for that pesky herb.
no subject
So you guys already checked all in that direction? [He points in the direction that they just came from.]
no subject
Lucy grinned, patting Natsu's shoulder reassuringly. S'okay, they'll find it! They have that kind of luck. ]
Yeah, it's all clear that way. Mostly traps and creature nests. [ Not even a single treasure chest. Well.. not a full one. It was disapponiting to come across a chest and find it empty, sob. ]
Only way to go is forward, it looks like! But we'd better go carefully - it doesn't look very stable down here.
no subject
The room that they're in suddenly closes off all the possible exits. Large stone slabs slide down in the doorways and prevent anyone from leaving.
Seems as though someone stepped on a switch on the ground, too bad for them! If anyone looks up then they'll see the ceiling begin to slowly move downward. It's planning to crush them, yup!
A way out? Well, disarming the trap would be a good start! Look around for clues, it's about five minutes until the ceiling will reach the ground.]
no subject
Oi oi what's going on here?!
[He then hears the rumbling and sees the flooring coming their way.]
no subject
no subject
The ceiling --! [ C R A P ] Natsu, quick - there has to be a switch or something to stop it from coming down..! [ Sun's already on the ball checking around, so Lucy scrambles over to the opposite side of the room, feeling along the wall and checking anywhere suspicious that she can see. Not even Taurus would be able to hold up the ceiling if it came to it -- not for long and especially not if it kept moving downward. ]
no subject
[Meanwhile he goes down to the floor and presses his ear to the floor. He closes his eyes and focuses on the sound of the mechanism under foot. It has to be there. A point he can smash to jam up the gears.]
no subject
You guys find anything? [Sun called out.]
no subject
...Unless they notice a red, glowing spot in the middle of the ceiling. Someone should hit it! If they can figure that out.]
no subject
[ Already on the same wavelength as Natsu - as far as helping find the secret latch. Hearing the sound of something else, she glanced up again, cringing. ]
Spikes now..!!?
...Wait a second.. [ Squinty. ] There's.. something on the ceiling! Other than the spikes I mean! What is that--?
[ When in doubt, smash it, right? ]
no subject
An eager grin spreads on his face and he gathers his magic into his fist manifesting it as a bundle of raging blames]
Nice catch, Lucy!
[He yells and leaps towards the ceiling, slamming his flaming fist into that glowing point with devastating force.]
no subject
Come to think of it, this is the first time he's seen the people from Fairy Tail work. Fire powers? That was pretty awesome.]
Be careful of the spikes!
no subject
Good job!]
no subject
[ Spikes? That.. probably won't be a problem to Natsu. The spikes should instead watch out for HIM. ... wait that's silly. Still, Natsu was only demonstrating a small fraction of his ability, that much she knew. ]
I think he's got it..! [ She grinned over at Sun, relaxing when the mechanism came to a stop, leaving the group no longer in danger of being squashed like grapes. ]
Way to go, Natsu~! [ Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned towards the nearest open door. ] Let's get out of here before that thing gets triggered again.
[ Maybe the worst is over~... yea probably not. She was making her way to the next chamber in any case. ]
no subject
Piece of cake. Everyone alright?
[He says as he rips his fist out of the hole he punched into the mechanism.]
