Spring Cleaning!
WHO: OPEN
WHAT: An ad requesting assistance culling creatures in Everglade was posted recently. The log is catchall for those who respond to it.
WHEN: April 25, 2014
WHERE: Everglade Marsh
When travelers/mercenaries/guardian trainees/whoever reach Everglade, they meet the poster of the request, Stuart. He describes the creatures in question as Biguana, and explains that normally they make their home in the marshes outside Everglade. Of late they've been breeding quite a bit and due to successful attacks on adventurers/wanderers that risk going out there unprepared, they've gotten extremely bold. He goes on to note that the creatures have made a den in an underground cavern accessed through a sinkhole a mile and a half from town. When our brave adventurers make their way to said sinkhole (mind the mud, it's slippery in some places), they'll find the cavern - which doesn't really look very stable. There are tracks, multiple ones, of creatures leading in and out of the den. Dare ye brave the depths?
[ OOC: Inside is a group of 10-18 'Biguana', each one about the size and speed of an average horse. They attack with spikes, draining magic and - in some cases - thrown weapons. Reward is $100 per head. ]

... Well, if he was being honest, he wasn't technically the Guardian. That was Harry, and Harry's gone, and no one's been named Guardian in his place. Maybe Harry wasn't actually gone? Whatever the case, it's left Jaune in a bit of a position where on one hand he feels that he's responsible for picking up the slack left behind, while on the other hand he's just not confident enough to take the mantle for himself... He doesn't really want to. Not being a Guardian is just so much easier! And much less dangerous!
But it's not the first time Jaune's lied like that. Probably wouldn't be the last, too. So, he's the Guardian for all intents and purposes, if for no other reason than to impress Raye and... well, and not die or something.]
Oh boy... [Jaune is hiding near the sink-hole where these creatures had supposedly set up their lair. Looks awwwwful dark in there, and scary, and full of lizard-monsters all set to eat his fleshy bits.]
[If you listen carefully, you might hear his armour rattling. But he's not scared, honest!]
no subject
Hmmm? This scent. I recognize it from the party.
no subject
The party? Do you remember who it is?
[ Wait, why did she ask him ethat - he's horrible with names most of the time. ]
Hopefully he's not in trouble.
[ After a moment as she drew nearer, she caught sight of the cavern near the sinkhole, frowning slightly. ]
That... doesn't look too safe either. We'll have to be careful, if we can't lure them outside an-- hey isn't that..
[ Is that Jaune,
coweringbravely standing his ground outside the cavern? ]no subject
no subject
[Stepping out from his
hiding spotguard post, Jaune approaches them, straightening up and fixing his armour and stuff.] I guess you guys are looking into this too, huh? I'm a little surprised, this is pretty far from Fayren.[He wasn't going to play the whole "this is dangerous" card. He's pretty sure Natsu on his own is more dangerous than a buncha lizards.] I suppose I wouldn't mind more help. Now this'll be even easier.
[Look at him, trying to be all calm and collected.]
no subject
[Of course he'd bungle up the name. No matter though because the source of the scent quickly comes out of hiding.]
Woah that's some sweet timing. Yo.
[he raises a hand in greeting.]
It's not that unusual for us. We used to take missions all over Fiore back in Earthland. Even if I always suffered cause of it. At least portals beat trains any day.
no subject
So you're... uh... That guy that was having the crazy pillow fight. Uh... Net...sa? I mean, I know Lucy, I just... it's been a while. [Of course he knows Lucy. She's hot!]
no subject
Jaune.
[ Oh. Oh wow, they BOTH mangled each other's names. That's...something. Lucy stifles a giggle, patting Natsu on the shoulder briefly. There there. ]
Gates are much quicker than trains too.
[ Lowering her voice so as not to draw notice from the beasties inside, she glanced between the two guys. ]
I was just telling Natsu that the cavern looked really unsafe, so we should be careful when dealing with those things inside.
[ But something tells her that luring them out won't be easy. ]
no subject
[... His confidence deflated rather quickly as he went through the logistics, the boy visibly slumping.] A-And they can use magic and have big, scary spikes and... oof... No it's not safe at all.
no subject
Yeesh it reeks. I can small a whole bunch of em inside.
[Magic wielding lizards huh?]
Hmmm so they just come out through this cave?
[Uh oh. He used THAT tone.]
no subject
Big lizards, ...just... how big? [ Not that she's worried. Not with Natsu here - heck, he smashed a giant snake not too long ago, after all. Big monsters are cakewalks for him. ]
What kind of magic do they -- [... oh no. Oh NO. She heard that tone Natsu, and it worries her! ]
...Natsu, what are you planning...?
[ Don't do it whatever you're thinking. ]
no subject
Maybe you're planning a good way to make sure we don't get killed! If so, I'm all for it. I'm definitely open to ideas, I don't want to just walk in there... That'd be like... walking into... a den of snake... things...
[Jaune furrows his brow. Alright, so he's not very good at the metaphors.]
no subject
[He's far too giddy about this. Far far too giddy.]
If this doesn't work at least it should smoke the bastards out.
[He steps up to the entrance and begins inhaling a looooot of air. Lucy will probably know what he's about to do.]
no subject
Ah, Jaune, come over here..!
[ It's about to get really hot. But Lucy reached over to tug him out of the way by his wrist so that Natsu could do what he did best. ]
