Breach III: Expedition Log



JOURNEY TO THE MAW'S CRYSTAL CAVES


At this point, news had been spreading about the flowers- the ones that only grew near crystals in the Maw, that they were what Seek had used on Nova City back in January, even though they were Fayren-native. Those who have made it this far to The Maw and searched for some time will finally find themselves at a cave, deep within. The only light there is whatever they brought with them and the bioluminescent glow of some crystals and fungus within the cave- certainly not enough to guide the way without your own source.

Once the expedition party is deep enough into the caves, they'll likely notice that the crystals have shifted behind them and cut off the way that they've come in. They have to go somewhat deep into the crystals to get to the patch of flowers they’re looking for, a veritable field of them. Most of the crystals are white or a pale lavender in color, and once in deeply enough it will become clear that the crystals have been enchanted as they rapidly spike up from their spots on the walls and cut off the entrance, regrowing just as rapidly if broken. A character may be able to get out if they have teleportation or phasing abilities, but they will not be able to bring other characters with them.

The only choice is to go deeper, and some who do will begin to find crystals that look a little different- refined, not bound to the enchanted white and lavender ones, and they’re a vibrant green in color. Careful though- spirits still lurk around certain corners, and with the low light and the Maw's nature.. well, you may want to stick close to someone else. Those aren't the only monsters down there.

DIRECTIONS:
-If you were RNG'd to receive a green crystal, you received a notification last night. Reply with a top-level to this post to receive the content of that crystal. If you do not post a top level by the 17th, your memory crystal will get rerolled to go to someone else who has already posted a top level. The mod NPC account will reply to your post with the memory crystal contents so you will not have any way to receive them unless you reply to the main post. Crystal finders: Cassian Andor, Koishi Komeiji, Link, Kamille "Mobius" Rainer, Belle, and Major Lilywhite.

-Regardless of whether you were RNG'd, anyone who replies with at least 5 comments by July 4th will receive a Fayren charm.

-If you are one of the four people who get to participate in capture, feel free to assume that your person got separated from their group and ended up finding the other three who did as well. That way you can still have main threads with whatever group your character came in if you'd like while we can limit the thread to a semi-reasonable amount of people for a single thread because 5 people in a single thread is already a lot and we do want to make sure that this thread is completed. A specific thread for this will be posted in reply to this post for each of those who joined in to participate. Once again, if you do not reply by the 17th, you will just have your character dropped from the discovery so that we can move on. Because this is an active thread and not just an info drop, the role will not be replaced unless all four characters do not participate.

-Just replying may also give you a chance encounter for other neat stuff in the Maw. A mod may reply with something fun to interact with if it looks like your thread is active based on a daily RNG through the 17th.

-Please feel free to assume that characters eventually find a second way out. They can also take samples of anything they want with them- flowers, crystals, rocks, whatever they may find. If your character wants to do something with something they took, please ask a mod what they'll find out and include the method they are trying to analyze it with. (If you just say 'analyze it' that's not going to tell us whether you'll find something out- if your character says they're looking at something under a microscope or that they're running a test for something specific, however, the mods are more than happy to answer if there's relevant information that your character can discover.)

I appreciate it. But if I start acting... different, you really should leave. I can't always control it. I'm at least partially a vampire.

[That's not even half the story, but it's enough for now. It should give her an idea what to watch for, at least.]

Ah, that should be okay.

[She's dealt with gods, so she wasn'
t sure what the difference between that and a vampire would be in terms of power. Everything else was obvious.]


If I have to, I will. But would you actually be okay by yourself if you get in a certain state?

[Well, at least she agreed to that much. He can't control her actions, so it'll have to do.]

I'll be fine - physically, at least. I'm holding back quite a lot of power right now, to be honest - it's not using it that's causing me problems. The more I use, the more control I lose.

I'm sorry to hear that not using it is causing problems... Though why aren't you? I guess except the fact nothing to use it on really.

[As far as she is aware of anyway.]

If I give in and let the power take control, I become... someone else. Someone I don't want to be. Someone who would make sure that, before I regain control, it has killed or harmed everyone and everything I hold dear. I'd rather avoid that, if it's all the same.

[She nodded slightly. That was okay and made sense as to why. So maybe this was the thing he was on about before and why she would need to leave. if so...it really, really makes sense now.]

Is that why if it happens you want me to leave?
notquitedracula: (Chillin')

[personal profile] notquitedracula 2017-07-12 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
If it happens, I want you to leave and do everything in your power to seal me down here. I hope it doesn't come to that, but... it might. I don't trust myself to be able to control it.

[He's going to be okay for the remainder of the expedition, he's just a worrywort. Even so, one more person warned of the possibility for danger is one less person potentially hurt or killed.]

[As they sit and talk, shadows creep in around the edges of nearby crystals, lingering in places where the light of Buer's flames do not reach.]


It looks like our rest period is over...

[personal profile] firefandance 2017-07-14 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
I very much doubt I can seal this place, but I can try other things, only if I have to.

[She looked over slightly, gripping her fan with a firm nod. Looked like it was the case.]

Yes, we should get back to what we were here for. [She moves to get ready, keeping an eye out.]
