Advanced Character Training, A neat, little try-out thread.

[Shonkey]

OoC: Ok. Paladin's ban pretty much killed this topic, but I figure we should just keep the ball rolling. :^_^:

BiC: After the sounds of roaring, cannonfire, and gunshots continues from the direction you just came from, there is a massive explosion, followed by silence. After a few seconds, you hear a metal-on-metal shifting noise, coming from close-by, to the east. You look to see you have reached the sewer, and the noise was some fellow sliding the manhole open and cimbing down, into it.

[Avigor]

OOC: I didn't even log on until just now. How'd he get banned?
BIC:
John watches the guy go into the sewer.

"Anyone have any idea of what to do?"

[IceDestroyer]

"We go down." Ralen said simply as he climbed down the manhole.

[Avigor]

John followed.

"Hope whoever that was will at least leave us alone, if not help us . . ."

[Shonkey]

OoC: I guess Scout doesn't want to post... <_<

BiC: The sturdy, metal ladder is covered in mildew and slime. There is pitch black below you, except for a faint light you see moving away, below. The smell is nearly intolerable, and there are strange noises coming from various areas.

[Avigor]

"Can you see in the dark? Cause if not, we should try to catch up with that light."

[IceDestroyer]

"Funny you should ask that." Ralen said as he reached the bottom of the ladder and switched on his night vision.

"Regardless, following that light wouldn't be a bad idea. We should be cautious about it, though."

*nightvision* You see a cloaked man, carrying a lit lantern, through the sewers. He seems to be scanning the walls as he goes. Suddenly, he stops and slightly turns his head to the side.

*non-nightvision* Through the darkness, you barely make out the light in the distance. You follow it as it rounds a few corners, then it stops moving.


OoC: Something fer both o' ya. ^^

[Avigor]

After stumbling around in the dark a bit, John stops as the light stops.

"Okay, why'd it stop?" John whispers to Ralen.

[IceDestroyer]

Ralen put his hand on John's shoulder and whispered, "Quiet, I think he knows we're here."

[Shonkey]

Night-vision: The figure merely stands there, for a moment, completely still. He then quickly tosses his lantern behind him, and before it even hits the ground, he jets away in powerful leaps. The lantern hits the ground, erupting in a massive ball of flame. Meanwhile the cloaked figure continues to bound away.

No night-vision: The light simply stays there for a moment, then it moves upward, then down. Suddenly, the light becomes a large ball of fire, slightly illuminating what appears to be a pale man in a cloak, darting away.

[IceDestroyer]

Ralen moved his arm to shield his eyes when the lantern exploded into a ball of flame. "Damn!" When the flame died down, he could no longer see the man, and assumed he was too far away to follow. "...He's gone."

"And he apparently destroyed his lantern. Crap. Coulda used that. So, where from here?"

[Shonkey]

The flames licked the walls of the sewers, as the kerosene continued to burn. There was mildew and sludge, lining the walls. In the canal section, there was no sewage at all; just a lining of green, slimy goop.(ew.) There was a visible intersection, just past the blazing fire. Barely visible, there was a small section of the wall inscribed with some sort of strange markings, though the markings were impossible to get to, with the fire.

(Nightvision:) Past the fire and the intersection, there is an iron gate, slightly ajar. Behind you, some yards past the ladder, there is another intersection. There is also a slight trail of blood, leading through the gate.

OoC: Sorry guys. I just got back in, from New Orleans. ^^;
