Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific


Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"Tentacle monster?" Riley raised an eyebrow at the comment and helped Jenny up, while Sir seemed to lightly object thankfully his healing was more or less done. Jenny would give Riley a look and point to her foot, the corrupt goos hints still clear where the appendage had her "The thing that wanted to drag me away."

Riley winced lightly and looked to the open door "Oh... THAT tentacle monster." Jenny would give the trickster a not as she elaborated "I think it heard me when I tried to lure those things to you earlier." "So it's reliant on sound?" Riley would inquire only to receive a shrug from Jenny.

The trickster placed a finger on her lips before smiling "How about instead, we give it what it wants? "she'd smile wickedly, though before Jenny could react to the absurd proposition Riley would add "I can create an illusion. So long as it's stupid, it won't tell a difference. We can move safely and quickly that way."

It was an alternative plan, though it was up to Jenny to make the final call. The dome area seemed fairly huge, with quite a number of the doors still closed. Each door had a set of bars near the top to see the prisoner, at the very least this would make their search far easier.

"Sounds like a plan. Still we should stay quiet as well just incase." Smiling Jenny let Riley do her thing as she began to make rounds to check for prisoners. Hopefully the illusion was good enough to hold the creature at bay. Moving to the first rusted cage Jenny would look while keep out of arms reach. After all there was no way to know that these prisoners where still human.

Resistance checK:

Grabber is fooled successfully!

Riley smiled brightly at her plans approval "Alright, I'll er... make it just good enough to fool it." the trickster approached and looked her over, before snickering "No wonder it wanted to drag you inside."

Letting Jenny react as she'd will, Riley fingertips ignited in purple energy just as she snapped them. From the ground up, right next to Jenny purple wispy trails swirled up more and more, until in just a few seconds a seemingly indentical copy appeared! "This should be just enough to keep it busy."

It appeared the illusion didn't emit sound, be it movement or speech, thus it's dash towards the door offered little results... however the moment the illusion passed by the slammed open door, atleast 4 different appendages shot out and wrapped around the girls waist pulling her in with one powerful and inescapeable tug!

The illusionist shudder at the sight and looked to Jenny "That's still uncomfotable to look at, but it should keep it busy" Riley spoke in a hushed tone and followed Jenny as they inspected the cages. Though clear movement and shimmers could be heard from inside the dome, thankfully (or not) no vision inside was available... however Jenny had a pretty good guess what the illusion was in for.

Still whatever the case may be, as far either of the duo knew the ruse was a great success! Continueing onwards the girls would start their search while the first few cages had their doors ripped open, only sickly gray goo flooding most of the chamber. One of the doors showed potential!... of sorts!

Looking inside one of the cages Jenny could see.... light green mass? It seemed far different from the sickly corruption the girl recognised, as it remained in gel-like egg shape and appeared semi-transparent. For the time being, no other features could be ditinguished. Peeking inside Riley looked over the mass and looked to Jenny clearly curious "What is it?"
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny smirked at Riley before getting to business. It all seemed much as she feared until one specific cell that held an oddity. Inspecting the area around the egg quickly before she opened the door Jenny pondered. Getting down on her knees she began to pick the lock. This needed investigation for sure. If it was in the egg than it had to be an enemy of the demons right? "Riley how long will the illusion keep that.. thing busy?" They might need to hid in the cage for a little bit if the spell was going to wear off soon anyway.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Even opening the door would seem to require some effort. This one seemed locked "I never really tried to keep a illusion active for too long." Rikke puckered her lips in thought "But~... it doesn't take much to keep it active." the trickster glanced to the door where the subtle movements could be heard "Guess until they it realises it was just er... "exploring" something not actually real."

She'd shrug lightly "That thing doesn't seem smart so we should have plenty of time." Riley kept a casual smile, seemingly all too confident in her illusionary magic mastery.

Looking inside the cage again, just to get a better look at it. Jenny carefully inspected what it could be, perhaps the shape was less of an egg and more of a oval... or a very polished rock or--- just as she was looking Jennys eyes would widen as the blob suddenly moved a face appearing on the surface looking back to her.

The light green mass shifted lightly as slowly a cute feminine head formed out and looked to Jenny curiously. While it was just a formation of good, the girl appeared to have fairly long hair, big curious eyes and an overall cute feminine features to her face.

Riley quickly leaned closer to inspect what Jenny was so curiously looking at only to see the same sight "Is that... a "slimegirl"?"
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny took a step back forcing Riley with her a little. "Yeah.. but.... we should go. The last slime girls I ran into tried to eat me." Unfortunately this girl got the weight of Jenny's previous experience with her cousins at the academy. Still it didn't seem hostile and Jenny was content to leave it be. "Your free now go a head and get away." Jenny smiled a little before retreating back some more keeping her eye on it pulling the door open with her as she moved on. There where other cages to inspect.

Riley suffers a total illusion upkeep cost: 5 EP [20/45 EP left]

While at first Jennys verdict was grim, the girl paused... even with her past experiences in the academy the girl just couldn't leave her be. Sighing deeply Jenny leaned down and quickly picked the lock "You sure about that?" Riley looked to Jennys actions curiously, her eyebrow arched in a sceptical manner "It's a slime girl... do you really think metal bars would stop it?" Jenny glanced to Riley as she answered, causing the trickster to cross her hands with a light harumph "Doesn't mean we should encourage it..."

Still soon enough the door was unlocked, with a final pull on the door the heavy steel door creaked open... Riley instantly turned towards the dome, anxiously awaiting a reaction. Fortunately the illusionary distractiong seemed to be doing wonders.

With the door open Jenny awaited for the slime girls exit... only for it not to come? Calling or waiting wouldn't seem to effect the outcome - the slime girl wasn't leaving her prison yet "Jen... let's not linger for too long 'kay?" Riley smiled lightly, though Jennys eyes would note the tricksters hand resting on one of the restoration potions, subconciouslly hinting that the girls magic wasn't infinite.

If Jenny moved along, she'd find cage after cage empty. Either the lock being torn off or the doors forced open... however moving along she'd soon enough find a door that had it's iron bar-view blocked? This lock seemed intact as well. Calling out to someone inside wouldn't have a reaction.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Nodding at Riley the girl moved on. After all it was up to the slime girl to do as she pleased and Jenny didn't have infinite time. Moving to the next door seemed a bit more promising and soon enough Jenny had frost out as she worked the lock. There was always a chance that what ever was in here wasn't friendly. Still Jenny had promised the priestess err former priestess she would see to it. Looking over her shoulder as she worked the lock Jenny made sure they where not about to be set upon by anyone. If the door clicked open she would bring frost up and open the door carefully.

With a final click the lock was cleared. Jenny would turn to Riley and give her a firm nod hinting for the girl to be ready. Frost in hand Jenny mentally counted down and carefully pulled the door open.

As she slowly pulled the door, all too loudly the beds steel creaked against the steel door! Someone had raised the bed and used it to block the view-port! "Quiet~!" Riley spoke in a hushed tone and motioned to Jenny to keep it down! Even though the forced open door to the dome was a far ways away... another one was right next to them. Even if for now it was shut.

"I got the door, you hold that thing." Riley would take care of opening the door, while Jenny held the loud bed in place. With this the duo managed to open the room up in a far more silent manner.

As the bed was slowly and silently lowered the sight of someone human finally met Jennys eyes! In the supremely low lighting it was impossible to tell anything else about figure. Except that it was resting against the cells back wall in a seated position... not moving.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

With Riley holding the bed Jenny looked to the sight. It wasn't a good sign the person against the wall was not moving and the noise of the bed didn't seem to stir them. Letting her eyes adjust to the dark lit room Jenny examined it before even taking a single step in. "Hey.. you in the corner. You alive?" If Jenny didn't get an answer she would motion to Sir to check the person out. Thankfully her trusty companion was neigh indestructible. "Is it alive Sir?" Jenny waited for the constructs answer while she kept her distance. Even if the person was alive there was to be sure if they where sane.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"I'm not holding that!" Riley frowned lightly, while her body was nothing short of an absolute marvel, holding a steel bed seemed to be out of the question. Still the two could make sure the bed was silently placed on the stone blocks, it's steel legs brushing against cold stone every so subtly... hinting at their movements.

Sir would have to be the bait--- the one to inspect the unknown entinty. The tiny construct looked to Jenny a bit shocked, before seemingly sighing and accepting his fate. With a tippy-tappy manner he approached the figure and placed his floating stone hands on it...

As Jennys eyes adjusted, a sudden appearance of a bright-light would echo a sting across her. Turning to the source it was Riley, creating a small flying lantern for them to use... it's design ofcourse being overly elaborate with numerous engravings and filigree. If Jenny gave her a look the trickster would blink innocently at her "eh? It's dark, Jen... don't worry this doesn't take much effort." At the very least, the lantern would illuminate the cage to reveal who was inside.

A woman with fairly muscular body rested against the wall. Her whole body seemed to be numerous cuts and bruises, quite a few ranging to fairly severe. Otherwise she was wearing a black leather bra and panties, her long dark auburn hair lightly lifted by her black headband.

Just as Jenny feared the worst Sir would beckon her over, as he himself got to healing the stranger! The woman was still breathing, albeit just barely. The room seemed to be a wreck, but no hints of the corrupt creatures or the usual fate of the prisoners were evident.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny wouldn't chastise Sir after all he was doing what he was made to do. She did sigh however at Riley but in a playful manner. Seeing no other signs of enemies and other dangers besides the woman in the cage Jenny would motion Riley inside before slipping in her self and securing the bed back in place. This one needed investigation.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Stepping inside had the benefit of effectively hiding the duo from anything that may have stalked them earlier, be it the dome creature or something else entirely "What happened to her?" Riley quickly approached as well and croached down near the female as well "All of these wounds..." actually this may have been the first time Riley saw someone this badly cut-up. The numerous lacerations both hinting at far older injuries and much more recent additions, as well as the subtle view of the girls atheletic and powerful body... she was no priestess. Infact, with the light Jenny could see clear hints of starvation and dehydration as well...

Though as Sir kept the healing, the girls weak breathing would slowly grow stronger as she'd slowly begin to react to whatever was happening around. The warrior would wince strongly as she'd cough, her eyes slowly opening to the view "Wha-?"

Without Jenny fully getting a word in the girl suddenly grabbed something from the floor and lunged back away from the two! One of her hands appeared to be completely limp, hinting at major injury while the other held a previous grabbed rock... her eyes sharp and looking to the two, her stance clearly in full defense "What is this... who are you two?" she'd breath clearly under burden, though was clearly set for perhaps a final battle.

Riley meanwhile sharpened her eyes as well, ready to defend herself if need be!
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny would stand calmly not hinting at any threatening moves. "Its alright we are the closest things to a rescue your gonna get down here. Now relax and let Sir treat your wounds. Besides if we wanted to hurt you we would have while you were bleeding out." Jenny's voice was calm and quite. "Either way you should relax as we are far from safe at the moment." Jenny would kneel back down and pat Sir on the head and shoo him a little closer to the girl. "My name is Jenny, this is SIr he healed you, and this lovely lady on my right is Riley. Now who are you and how did you end up here?"
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

The woman kept her eyes on the two before relaxing her stance "I know... It's just." she'd drop the rock and slide down the wall behind her once more, her head leaned back against the wall "Haven't seen a friendly f--... face in too long." the warrior would close her eyes and rest for now, not stopping Sir from approaching and using his magic "The name's So---" seemed every so often she'd stop mid-sentence and squint at immense pain "Damnit..." she'd take a slow if deep breath, before continueing...

"The name's

... but... I'll need to ski---fuck me... skip the story." she'd open her eyes and smile lightly "I think one of my ribs punctured a lung." indeed some blood could be visible at the edge of the girls lips. Still after a short while if not asked anything or if Jenny didn't elaborate on her purpose here she'd add "So who are you two?" she'd look up over the 'rescue squad' - Jenny being fully in the nude and armed with a rusty blade and a shiny weapon and Riley dressed in a fancy if pretty lewd ringmistress outfit "No offense, but you don't look---" she'd wince strongly and remain silent letting Jenny piece what she had in mind herself.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"No we are not the rescue squad but we are about the closest your going to get to one. Rest easy its not safe here let Sir patch you up and he will guide you to the other survivor we found. There are still a few more cages to check." Jenny would look to Riley and nod at her seeing if she was ready to go and check the other ones.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

A brief moment of silence from the warrior would be followed with her lowering her head, before uttering "Thank you." though Jenny couldn't see Sonas eyes the voice carried an all too clear gratefulness about it.

"I'll be fine just give me a weapon. I'd rather not use my fists and rocks against these things again." she'd look up with determind spark in her eyes, before her gaze wandered to the blade Jenny kept "That sword... could you give it to me? I can beat these things back, but I need something to do it with."

Still whether Jenny left her blade to the stranger or not was completely up to her. Whatever the choice was Sona wouldn't argue against it and kept resting against the wall.

Meanwhile as the two neared the door, Jenny instantly saw a hint of green from the very bottom of the viewport into the room! If she'd keep looking at it, slowly but surely the goo girls head would rise more and more until her 'eyes' clearly met Jennys, making the goo disappear from sight!

Stepping outside Jenny couldn't see the goo girl anywhere.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny smiled and handed it over. No doubt it was better in her hands than her own. Nodding to the girl Jenny moved to the door only to find a green little spy. Taking a breath Jenny would nervously exit and check the ceiling first after all there was no place else for the girl to go. If she still didn't see her she would move on after telling Sir to catch up once Sonja was safe. How many more doors where there to check. No doubt the chances of more survivors would be slim.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Sona would catch the blade and smirk widely "Oi! What were your names again?" getting her answer in whatever manner the warrior would give a nod and with a content smile once more close her eyes and relax, allowing Sir to keep the healing.

Stepping outside Jenny quickly scanned the area, giving extra attention to the celing! Unfortuantely the black ceiling wouldn't reveal much... until Riley stepped outside along with her lantern with the light shining forth the goo girl was all too clearly illuminated above them, only the top of her head looking at the duo below. Be it curiousity or she was stalking them to attack, she seemed very keen to follow the two.
 
Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny would look up at the girl. If she had wanted to no doubt the girl would have nailed them both by now but for its curiosity Jenny couldn't really indulge it at the moment. Maybe when they where safe and not in a room full of testicle monsters. Instead Jenny would wave at the girl before moving on to inspect the other cages.
