**The wind begins to slow, and soon enough the group finds themselves near the ground. They had made fantastic time, however - the mountains were likely no more than a mile's walk. The crows circle overhead as several figures fly out from the edge of the mountain range in the distance, breaking into two groups with the larger continuing to approach like a black tsunami.
The tsunami breaks further apart as the imposing murder splits up into ever smaller groups that seem to take various tactical positions when cawed at by the larger crows - crows the size of horses and even a few a bit larger. The latter crows appear to have six eyes instead of the usual four, with the front two pairs having an hourglass shape and the back two pairs the diamond.
The crow that lands the closest, however, is about the size of two story house. This crow, seemingly the leader of the flock, is also the only one with seven eyes; all of them are hourglass-types, albeit ones that look more like hourglass-shaped nebula viewed in the night sky. Her feathers - Cee notes she's obviously female, humans are so inept when it comes to noticing that - likewise have an otherworldly depth to them; each one a little window to the stars. Waves of sepia tint continuously clash, fade, and form again in a celestial dance throughout the plumage. The bird's legs periodically switch from cloudy grey to a momentary brilliance reminiscent of a thousand lights igniting within a patch of smoke.
It isn't until a few moments later that the adventurous group realize that they aren't completely sure where the giant crow is at any given moment. Well, she's clearly in front of them, at least.**
Kage, unsure of crow customs, has Cee project while he inclines his head downward, "Greetings oh lordly Atryne!" He says the name just fast and slightly mumbled enough that the exact pronunciation is unclear, but hoping that the sound is close enough since he never actually got the real name. He also makes sure one of the bone pins he was given are attached to his suit, as he stands back up. "We have come to seek your aid in finding a passage through the mountains and to present you with these pins." He finds some way to present the other pins using his bird appendages.
**A few of the eldest crows start to caw wildly at the sight of the pins (and some of the smaller ones seem to enjoy Kage's bungling attempts to get the rest out with his wing-arms), but Atryne herself remains composed. Cee also speaks up during Kage's offering**
Cee - "Kage, we need the pins to kill Yue-Yue! I-I mean she can have a pin but she'd rather have us free them, right? We have a bunch of other people that will be crossing too, lots of relics and such, great Atryne."
**Atryne takes a single step, and looks more closely at the Jakari and his offered pins. How close is, of course, rather hard to determine. Just how far she rises back up immediately thereafter is also unknown, but the sky unveiled by when she spreads her wings is impressive all the same. She flaps, and the world seems to ripple.
Kage and the others find themselves alone - and a pin lighter - amidst the snow. All that remains to speak of the crows' presence are a few of Atryne's feathers dancing in the wind. Soon they too are blown away; slowing floating away towards the mountains.
The actual wind had completely died down about five minutes earlier."
Kage wastes no time in following the feathers. If there is time, he also lets the others out of the void space/ lets them know its safe to cross. He also lets his suit return to a normal clothing shape for the time being.
**The group had remained at the boarder. Although Arl had resisted the idea, the most expedite method of communication the group had managed to think up was to prick Cee in a certain pattern and let the binding bracelets share the pain with Arl. And there is indeed time enough for such pricking.**
Cee - "So-ow-is anyone else worried about how we're after a monster used to be like that? Back in the old days when it wasn't as strong as it is now?"
**The feathers eventually land in a circular pattern on a patch of snow close to the mountains. The end of their trip is soon followed by the feathers suddenly flashing with a deep sepia tint followed by a small ripple of power that extends beyond the feathers into the surrounding air and earth.**
Conveniently enough for every party member.. Feather Of Atryne - A large crow feather that occasionally seems to deepen, occasionally being indistinguishable from a hole leading to a starry sky. Sudden, swirling flashes of sepia tint sometime color the feather (or tint the nebula within). An apparent gift from the great passage crow, this feather has been imbued with incredible spiritual powers. It could surely be used in countless ways.
"I am not concerned." Kage sits near the circle and patiently waits for the others to arrive, encouraging his fellow group members to do the same.
Assuming nothing of interest happens during the wait, Kage picks up the feather and shows to to the oncoming group. "Esyltt, is this item imbuable by you into Kaia?"
**Esyllt walks up and gingerly picks up the feather to inspect it more closely.**
Esyllt - "...Yes, I can! I believe it could be used in any number of ways, was this a gift? It's hard to imagine these were just any feathers, they're too perfectly designed to mix with other things - or even people -"
Javert - "So things went well with the giant monster bird then?"
Kaia - <Good. They're here. I'm going to investigate the circle now, Kage. We might need the feathers for the passage.>
**Kaia draws a circle in the snow where the feathers lay and pokes her blade into the center of the circle. She begins to form vortexes shortly thereafter.**
Kaia - <Nevermind, it's just a hidden door. Should I could cut it open?>
Not having much need for the feather to be imbued into anything, and hearing that it was intended to also blend with people, shrugged and ate his feather.
**Upon initially eating the feather Damek feels the same as before. Then everything explodes.
Or seems to, anyway - the wolf prince finds himself adrift amidst endless possibilities, rising and falling with the sun, sparkling in the heavens like the stars, swimming through the oceans like a fish, with incredible vivid sensations of his environment periodically filtering through like what the smell of the snow on his nose.
The others feel none of this, although there is initially much concern over Damek suddenly spasming across the ground while shrouded in a possibility cloud reminiscent of the older crows. The effect ends after a few moments however, with Damek feeling like some immense force had tugged him back in the direction of sanity. A swirl of sienna briefly flows over the exhausted wolf's fur.
Soul of the Precipice – Damek’s state of being as become.. slightly blurred. This state is not easily observable, and often manifests as an unexplained air of mystery. His hair, nails, and on the rarest of occasions even his flesh sometimes deepens in color and swirls with a faint sepia tint; as though his body was a slightly transparent window to the stars. In times of great emotion, Damek’s pupils widen and deepen beyond the confinement of their irises, the bands of color themselves becoming a ring of light set before a black concave that seems to go on forever.
Damek possesses 4 Shift per encounter that can be used in the following ways, although only one such ability may be used in any given post:
> Accept – Damek can extend his existence towards anything he is aware of, striking at ghosts or other beings in adjacent realms while simultaneously still effecting his current realm. Effect lasts for one action. (1 Shift)
> Reject – Damak can partially phase his existence away from his surroundings, converting blows both dealt and taken to phantom pain. The Damek's phased form naturally pushes away from solid overlapping objects, making it difficult for deep overlaps to occur. Lasts for a few moments, no more than a post. (2 Shift)
> Release – Damek can become a cloud of possibilities, his existence expending and retracting in an instant to effectively teleport himself up to 30’ in any direction. He benefits from the Reject ability upon his arrival (whether (s)he wants to or not), and anyone within the 30ft instinctively feels where Damek arrived. (3 Shift)
Dr. Smalls - "Well, that was something!"
Javert - "...Fine, I'll ask. Does that make you crazies less or MORE likely to eat the magic feathers some monster bird gave us?"
**Kaia undergoes a similar experience when imbued, although there thankfully isn't any spasming. The limbs of all present surely appreciate that.**
In times of great emotion, the sword deepens in color to the extent that the the black blade seems to be a sword-shaped hole to an empty sky, the navy hilt like a grip made of solid light. Even in calmer times, the sword's blade occasionally swirls with an internal, sometimes sienna-tinted, nebula that somewhat belies the term "Starless". Perhaps a name change is in order..
Kaia gains the following abilities, although she cannot use more than one of them in the same post:
> Kaia can interact with phased beings, whether they reside partially/wholly in the spirit realm or otherwise. The only restriction is that the she/her wielder must know what/who they are trying to effect. This effect applies to all of the Kaia’s other powers and abilities as well (except nebula form).
> Kaia can partially phase away from the world, converting all blows dealt or taken to phantom pain for a few moments. The Kaia's partially phased form resists overlapping, making deep blows difficult. This effect applies to all of the weapon’s other powers and abilities as well. (except nebula form)
> Kaia can teleport and reposition herself to a distance of up to 6’. She is naturally phased away from the world, as noted in the second ability, for a few moments after the teleportation occurs (whether the she wishes this or not). This ability is only usable once every three posts (in addition to the general restriction on these powers), and does not effect her nebula form.
After waiting for whoever else does things, Kage says, "Well, that was interesting. If we are all finished here, I believe that we should move on." He tries to see if he can open the hidden door, if not, he has Kaia cut it open.
Olus looks at the farther incredulously but tucks it away in his bag. If nothing else it will fetch a fine price among the adventuring community... If he lived that long.
Javert starts to comment on the group finally having some sense before Arl rolls passed him in her own post-feather delirium. The especially observant might notice a mildly flailing Tratorious briefly appear near a particularly large mound of snow before becoming invisible once more.
Cee – “I still think you shouldn’t have risked it!”
Once everyone finishes messing around with the feathers Kaia makes some *adjustments* to the hidden door; it was now a two-way affair. The monsters could thank her later.
The tunnels beneath are about as cold as the tundra above, the temperature modulating suits the groups wore beneath their clothing or on their feathers being the only thing keeping them from painful frostbite. The path leads towards the mountains and deeper into the earth.
Dr. Smalls – “All right then! I think we should don our disguises.”
Smalls lights a flame and soon opens the smokey door to the group’s excess gear (and binge, the regular crow, the children they are trying to save, etc). Among the piles are several monstrous suites, complete with magical see-through eye coverings to complete the disguises. Damek notices they even change smell, and those that try to speak while wearing one notice a small voice change.
Javert – “How do you have these things, and HOW did you know what they should smell like!”
Dr. Smalls – “We don’t know if the smell is right, but it doesn’t smell like any mortal race Binge knew about. And this is a case where the book proved exquisitely helpful. We have a few extra suits as well – although I suspect we will need them yet – so take whichever ones work for you!”
You may look like:
A) Binge’s race – a lower-class bruttezzaavanzi. They are assumed to be not that bright. Although goodly specimens are unheard of, bruttezzaavanzi tend to be more amoral than outright evil. They are also somewhat laid-back as a whole.
B) Percival’s race – a higher class (or wannabe higher class) belmaestrocucito. They are assumed to be a more culturally knowledgeable. A merely amoral specimen would practically be a saint; belmaestrocucito tend to be sociopaths. Extremely competitive as a whole; having a significant hobby besides power-hungry scheming is generally the purview of powerful nobles.
C) An Unihakka. Although Unihakka have the most variance in morality and demeanor, and are the most likely to be ‘quirky’ and/or downright bizarre, they also stand out and are more memorable. Some denizens of the city will likely wonder why they’ve never heard of you (granted, this latter point is also true in some very specific cases for the other choices as well). Remember, however, that the above describes OLD unihakka. ‘Newborn’ Unihakka are nearly mindless killing machines and young ones tend to have very unstable personalities (Which, unfortunately, means anyone around when/where a fake one claims to have been ‘born’ will REALLY wonder why they don’t remember you).
---
Another thing to think about is the possibility of acquiring contacts in the city. Although it is a vile place, and working with the system will take an amoral guise at the very least, it should be noted that there are could be a couple potential allies that might get turned off if you blend in too well. Pros and cons.
Dr.Smalls - "Hrm.. You remember Acair? He was a Belmaestrocucito. You'll need to be humanoid to pull off the disguise, but aside from that I suggest pretending to be around fifty years old. A lower-rung hunter that doesn't stay in town much. Personality-wise I'd suggest being proud and unkind; like you have a chip on his shoulder that won't go away."
Esyllt - "You should act refined as well. I think acting like a lesser noble who feels he has been slighted - but does not yet have the power to rise above the others - would cover it pretty well. You should probably make sure to learn and remember the power structure within the city as soon as possible, since a Belmaestrocucito would be expected to keep up with all of his rivals."
Javert - "Hrmph. Everyone, then?"
Dr.Smalls - "I'd think knowing the biggest names along with some made-up immediate rivals would cover most conversational needs."
Cee - "Couldn't he just be a surly, prissy jerk and let people think he's in a particularly bad mood?"
Dr.Smalls - "That could also work! Although he's not likely to have many conversations acting like that."
Dr.Smalls - "As soon as we finish dawing these costumes. Which..appears to be.." **Finishes slipping on his own disguise** "Right now!"
And so the group sets off into the tunnels, Smalls creating a small light to guide their path. The first several minutes prove uneventful, but the group soon notices a small cavern off to the side with some carvings on the wall. The language is understandable enough – for some reason Notawhere’s common lounge is very similar to the Bakaran standard – and the message goes as follows:
Sam.
Charsi.
You existed.
I -------
You know.
I wish I was more
than I am.
The angle of the writing is strange, as though someone was writing it at an angle; the easiest explanation would be that the writer couldn’t fit through the roughly 3’x3’ opening, although that would beg the additional question of how they managed to write on the wall 6’ in.
Dr.Smalls – “Hrm.. I wonder how recent this inscription was...
Javert – “Do you think someone is living in these tunnels?
Dr.Smalls – “Perhaps, but I wouldn’t count on it! The Book didn’t mention anything that would imply it, although it did note that we should avoid entering the city through the large iron door that’s somewhere in these tunnels.”
Javert – “Wonderful.”
Further investigation revealed little of use, and soon enough the group found themselves going ever deeper into the earth as they pass under the mountains. It starts getting hotter as well, although the suits that kept them from freezing to death earlier keep them cool now.
Anyone who didn't note their costume, please do so in your next post on thread.
The tunnel eventually opens up into a sizable cavern that appears to have been reinforced with crystalline pillers rising up out of a large ravine running through the center. The large, 30’ wide, magma-filled ravine. At least the magma is a good 70’ below the group. There is an iron cable bridge as well! One of the cables has snapped and the other doesn’t seem to be in very good shape, but it’s something!
Epic World! Because seriously! It's the awesome!
And don't forget to do your shopping at The Newe Haberdashery, the finest vendor of magic items and oddball services ... Ever!
**While crossing the ravine, Darby notices three petrified eggs on a landing on the group’s side of the ravine (about six feet below the top of the opening).
Dr. Smalls tries to right the bridge itself while Tratorious summons some plant vultures to help Darby do something with the cables.
Esyllt likewise summons a pair of plant spiders, the creatures spinning amber webs as needed.**
Up ahead, on the other side of the precarious bridge, a creature emerged from a dark tunnel. It was almost three feet tall and canine in appearance, sporting three heads. Its eyes glowed silver and its fur was black as the night, it prowled towards the edge of the bridge. Each head let out a loud bark that sounded for all the world like speech.
The tsunami breaks further apart as the imposing murder splits up into ever smaller groups that seem to take various tactical positions when cawed at by the larger crows - crows the size of horses and even a few a bit larger. The latter crows appear to have six eyes instead of the usual four, with the front two pairs having an hourglass shape and the back two pairs the diamond.
