The power of the blade seems to be more powerful than the darkness that encases the cave! You can now see clearly throughout the cave. Terakuu, immediately stops, almost falling into a pit! Torches hang on either side of the pit, each close enough to get a handhold on. A ladder leads out of the pit on the other side of where you stand. There are three choices:

A) Attempt jumping across the pit.
B) Swing across to the other side using the torches.
C) Levitate to the other side (providing you have the skill).

[Darkness]

Oric sheaths the sword, which seems to dim slightly through the scabbard. He decides to try to swing across. He attempts to swing across and....

Drathonian, meanwhile, decides that he should try to jump it. He is still in tiger form from his last quest, and runs almost to the entrance of the cave. He turns and runs as fast as he can, and at the last minute, jumps! He starts to fly across the hole and....



OOC: Wheee!! The evil cliffhangerish 'and...' posts!

[Bashae]

Drathonian, with the swiftness of his tiger form, succeeds jumping the pit. Oric also manages to get across the pit using the torches. The air now is considerably warmer and they can see a fiery glow at the end of the passage. They come across another pit, similar to the one they just passed, but in the place of torches, a narrow walkway. The pit now seems considerably larger and the platform they stand on doesn't seem to be big enough to get a run up on. They have four choices:

A,C) Same as above.
B) Attempt to cross using the walkway.
D) Run away like a chicken.

[Darkness]

Both of them attempt to cross the walkway.

[Bashae]

Oric manages to walk across with ease, but Drathonian falls, doing 200DP!

[Darkness]

OOC: So now what do I do? Does this one have a ladder too? If so:

IC: Oric calls down the pit, "Drathonian! Drathonian! Are you ok?" No reply, but he did hear a loud clanging, growing louder and louder, as if something was climbing the ladder. He saw Drathonian's white tiger head emerge, and he accompanied him forward, to the next area of the cave.

[Bashae]

The cave is now almost unbearably hot and the glow from the end of the cave is now quite bright. You hear a snarling voice:
"Bah, I despise all of you! Get out of my sight before I burn you all to a crisp!" You then hear large yelps and the sound of quick footsteps. A group of adventurers emerge from the passageway and quickly run past you in terror, only to fall into the pit behind you... Do you continue?

[CongressJon]

Terakuu attempts to swing across the pit using the torches.

"Hm..Xinxion ponders, and casts.

- Darken Location (0): EC=0; Effect = Darkens location: Conjures a stationary orb that absorbs the light in a location, making it difficult for other non-evil classes to see. Will remain until you leave the location.

"Reverse psychology..."

As Oric and Drathonian are leaving the wood, they see a number of adventurers passing into a cave. They decide to enter, and immediately Oric's Glowing Holy Blade lights up the area:
- Special Enhancement: Weapon Glow - When equipped, brightens dark locations automatically unless brought upon by someone of a higher post count.

He then proceeds down the cave, holding his sword out in front of him.

OOC: Er...0wned.


BIC: Xinxion and Sakai attempt to jump across.

[Snowy]

Rhesal attempts to jump across the pit with his body young and very agile.

[Darkness]

Oric and Drathonian continue to where the adventurers ran from.

[Bashae]

Terakuu manages to swing across fairly well to the second pit. Xinxion runs to jump and seems to almost make it, but the other side seems to be out of his grasp and he falls, doing 200DP. Sakai, with his Iron Chef skills (), manages to jump across with ease to the second pit. Rhesal manages to jump across, almost falling back into the pit, but managing to get a foothold on the platform behind the second pit. The air now is considerably warmer and they can see a fiery glow at the end of the passage. They come across another pit, similar to the one they just passed, but in the place of torches, a narrow walkway. The pit now seems considerably larger and the platform they stand on doesn't seem to be big enough to get a run up on. They have four choices:

A,C) Same as above.
B) Attempt to cross using the walkway.
D) Run away like a chicken.

Oric and Drathonian attempt to continue but they seem to hit an invisible wall.

OoC: Wait for the others.

[obiwan22]

Xinxion reattempts to jump the pit, whilst Sakai tries to jump the second pit.

[CongressJon]

Terakuu chooses option A....

[Darkness]

Xinxion reattempts to jump the pit, whilst Sakai tries to jump the second pit.

OOC: You only have to go over it once; there's a ladder on the opposite side of the pits.

IC: Oric and Drathonian wait, hoping that the others might have an idea to get past the wall.
