[i]Sylver crouches on a rooftop overlooking the mall. He’s dressed in his old, tattered “Journey’s End” cloak. The Blade of Black Lilies is not present, but is on standby. This is not a threat to be treated as a training exercise, or a game. This is something that will truly require his efforts.[/i]

Sylver, wanna team up? I'm followin' after you anyways
-
Sure.
-
Cool. I'm a little behind, but I'm sure I'll catch up. Unless Poly changed the layout. Then I might be screwed
-
All like paths lead to the same end, or something like that.

*The police have formed a perimeter around the now car sized flower. Headphones are being distributed to cancel Powy's voice, but telepathic attacks have rendered several of them defenseless. Down the street, an Owo monster appears and destroys a car before fading into the Ether. Time is of the essence here, but tread carefully.*
-
[i]Sylver drops to the street and slowly approaches the mall, careful to stay under cover lest he be left exposed while under telepathic attack.[/i]
-
*You approach the barrier, and the cops don't even try to stop you from coming closer. You sense a mental presence around you, probing and searching for your protected mind.*
-
[i]Sylver tightens his battle-hardened mental barriers and refuses to communicate with the presence. Such madness is a long way from his own balance.[/i]
-
*Your mind is a steel trap, and resists the insanity. You do detect a sense of jovial acceptance through empathy, and an invitation to go below.*
-
[i]—An invitation, or challenge, he accepts. Sylver continues onward to the strange flower.[/i]
-
*The flower is roughly 10 feet in diameter, and filled with sharp teeth that point inwards. You think you can get down without cutting yourself, and see the bottom roughly 50 feet down.*
-
[i]Just to be safe, Sylver climbs to a vantage point before jumping straight into the center.[/i]
-
*You leap perfectly, and evade the rows of teeth! However, after about a second or so, you realize the floor is much further below than expected. Space expands, and you find yourself looking down about 500 feet instead!* [spoiler]Nat 20 btw lol[/spoiler]

Edited by Sylver: 2/14/2020 9:57:43 PM[i]Sylver goes with the flow, reminiscing about a time long ago, falling down a dark shaft on a distant planet.[/i] [spoiler]optimal jump[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yo I remember that! Dang, I liked your story. [/spoiler] *You continue falling, and notice it's getting darker, and darker and darker...*
-
Edited by Sylver: 2/14/2020 11:57:02 PM[i]As the light fades, Sylver’s innate night vision slowly pulls into focus. Hopefully, he’ll be fully prepared by the time he reaches the bottom.[/i]

*You make your landing, not a super smooth one but good enough not to get hurt. You enter a large, uneven circle shaped room. The walls, floor and ceiling are all made of the same fibrous plant material, and seem to pulse and move like a living creature. In the center(where you are) is an brown uneven pentagon shaped “cap”, and feels cold to the touch. Along the walls are three unevenly distanced “doors” made of the same scale material as the cap, but each has an insignia on it. The first door is open, and the symbol is liken to a family crest covered in vines and roots. The second is of a more noble background, but bears a similar overgrown motif on it, and the door is closed with no discernible handle. The last is sealed tighter than the others, vines draping over from the walls to keep it shut. It bears a simple insignia, denoting a warrior. It too is covered in vines, and seems the most corrupted of all.”
-
[i]Sylver first tests the handless door.[/i]
-
*The door doesn't budge, holding like an iron wall. 5 demons pop from the floor, and attack you, Titan and Mirabelle! They've killed two so far, so you have two on you and one on Titan. Six appears from a teleport orb, and 5 more figures appear from the ceiling!*
-
[i]Sylver summons two blades of silver and prepares to defend.[/i]
-
*The Kolyns have been dispatched, and juggernaut remains. It's about 15 feet tall, and fighting Mirabelle, who has restrained it with watery tentacles*
-
[i]Sylver rushes toward the juggernaut and jumps, hoping to find a weak point in its armor.[/i]
-
*The Jug runs away as Six and Titan begin tearing away at the juggernaut with their firearms, and it howls in pain as they shatter the crystals. It charges out of the room through the open door, its faint purple glow disappearing into the darkness.*
-
[i]Sylver sprints in pursuit of the juggernaut. Perhaps it might know the way...[/i]
