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.)

To hell.

[ She jokes. Probably. ]

This way. I've been in this area before. I used to explore the Maw all the time before Mercury got pardoned in Nova and we ended up moving there. I don't know the exact way out, but I've got a general idea of the direction.
aurabble: (it's warm!!!)

[He stops and tenses nervously. But he's tough and salty, so it's tough nervous twitching.]

...Ever find anything interesting in here? [Realizing she was joking, he jogs after her.]
unhappy: (His leg is broken not his ego.)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-07-12 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Jewels, weapons, animal pelts- mostly things I found on corpses out here. I fenced most of it.

[ That's not a lie. The Maw was known for being dangerous- a labyrinth full of mystery and monsters. Emerald lived on the streets long enough to have a sense of direction beyond labeled streets though. ]
aurabble: (shit there goes something else important)

[personal profile] aurabble 2017-07-13 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
...They weren't very fresh corpses, were they?

[He doesn't want to think about a bunch of corpses just lying around in the Maw.]
unhappy: (Join me on the bed which Cinder has two)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-07-17 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. This isn't a safe haven on a normal day, Jaune.
aurabble: (10 outta 10)

[personal profile] aurabble 2017-07-17 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can see that. If it's so dangerous, why do people keep exploring it? I mean people who can't fight, not people like you and me.
unhappy: (What's up buddies?)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-07-23 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
Treasure, magic, adventure. Take your pick.
aurabble: (says lots of wrong things)

[personal profile] aurabble 2017-07-23 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
How about all three?
unhappy: (Mercury's a shoe-sniffer.)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-07-26 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really care? You asked me why people do it anyway.
aurabble: (10 outta 10)

[personal profile] aurabble 2017-07-26 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
...There's magic in here?
unhappy: (Did they really die screaming?)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-08-01 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's Fayren, there's magic everywhere.
