Finding Calley

[Nephrite]

Moore continues to try and identify where the beacon is coming from -- or at least where the magic that powers this delivery system is coming from!

Take 10 for 74.

You need more locations and time. As you grapple with that...

Init is Moore (51) > Kaja (46) > Jetina = Cresiel (38) > Xandra (28) > Earth Elementals (17) > Fire Dwarves (11)

Kaja glides forward, a deadly blur as he grins, setting into the elementals with a savage, slicing fury. You can barely see him, each strike a dance that threatens to sever them apart.

What follows is simple destruction. Kaja is a fluid, silky dancer, blades singing a song of stone and steel. The elementals are simply torn asunder by Kaja's blade, the survivors of them utterly crushed in a series of fluid, perfect slashes. They fall as the fire dwarves continue to back away and...

Free act.

Whoops, forgot this. Updating.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns to the dwarves and offers a smile. "Do you know where the main beacon is? If you don't, it's all right. I won't hurt you either way."

[Anastasia]

One comes forward, eyeing all of you. Kaja drifts to the single door out, guarding it and waiting to pounce.

"Beacon?" It asks in Ignan, "What is a beacon?"

[Nephrite]

Moore gestures at the area they landed in and responds in Ignan. "The magic that makes everyone appear here."

[Anastasia]

"I don't know," the fire dwarf says, as the others stay back. "The efreet take us, make us serve as they like. We are ones who are being punished, this is known as suicide duty. Anything attacking appears here. There are traps beyond here."

Xandra nods, "I see it is so. The efreet have no intent on allowing us to engage them lightly."

"They weren't so eager to engage us last time," Jetina agrees, "At least in this case it makes strategic sense. Make your enemy come to you and you've already halfway won."

This gets Kaja to snort little wisps of flame coming from his nostrils. "The only halfway that matters is when I leave them with only half their bodies."

[Nephrite]

"Where are you all kept?" Moore asks. "I came here originally to ruin it, but if there's an option of saving you and your people while we're here too, then we'll do it."

He turns to the others. "For now, we may as well help them if we can."

At that, Moore does go over and collect whatever was left from the efreeti who got killed.

"I'm sure there are going to be more of these types that try and stop us." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

There is his clothes, his scimitar, a breastplate, a red cape, a belt and a few pouches. You can take any or all of it.

Replies in the next post, just hashing out loot first.

[Nephrite]

All of it goes into the haversack!

[Anastasia]

Done and done.

"We are kept downstairs," The fire dwarf says, "All of us are, though the slaves are kept a floor lower."

[Nephrite]

"Please lead the way." Moore says in Ignan. "We'll deal with anyone who attacks us."

[Anastasia]

"Ahead are the traps," The fire dwarf warns. "They are magic..." Then he lowers his voice, "The belt has something to do with it. All the efreeti who escort people here wear it and they speak of it on occasion."
