Jean (Zilrax)

[plmnko]

The prune mage is now alone in that small rest room, she still have the backpack of her ex-partner on the floor close the bed, at a side she have the magic circe and the iron jar remain in its place. Her possibility to follow the swordswoman has melted when this door start to shine and let out a slow dark smog than wanted to fill the room, mostly that could happen in some minutes.

She could still investigate more or get out of there now taking or not the backpack on the floor.

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower would say that Sonja leaving was rather sudden. It was more the expression that bothered her. She should be the one angry, not her! Nevertheless, she had a job to do now.

Worse however, it seemed a trap had been triggered on her exodus. Sunflower cursed her luck, wincing at the air over her breasts and looking around a bit desperately. The spider had managed to disappear somehow, there had to be a way out before the smog got to her.

She snatched up the backpack quickly, before looking at the magic circle. It could be a teleportation circle, or it could be the bed did it somehow. She had the time to try both though. Grunting to herself she decided to try the magic circle, stepping into it reluctantly.

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Alone and in slighty hurry, the mage wonder what she should do now and soon tried to get over the magic circle. Leaving out the idea of use the other door than the mimic was protecting some time ago.

As she get up she just fall, finding herself in a huge webed nest, the place was filled with the same gems at the other room, but some were broken and resting over the floor, some little spiders running away in a clumsy way. Many eyes were looking at her and then the magic circle from where she has come dissipated by a dark power from the other side, some spiders went from it from the other side at the last moments.

There were a passage in front and at the right by a small hole. At the left behind a counter a giant spider was eating something as she look her.

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower had let the panic get the better of her, along with the arousal and the stress of the past few minutes. The other door completely slipped her mind. Then again given where she had sealed the mimic's jar, the door may not have even swung open anymore.

In any case the teleportation circle sent her falling, her yelping in alarm, before landing on the ground with a grunt. She got up to her feet with a shudder and looked around, finding herself in some sort of great spider nest. She shivered, biting her tongue. So many spiders.

They were all staring at her, and there was even an enormous one, eating something and staring at her. Two ways out. Spiders scared her a little bit, and giant possibly intelligent ones scared her more.

She gave an awkward wave to the giant one, before heading for the passage ahead, watching around warily and careful not to step on any spiders as she went. She really just wanted out of this place, and back to solving that puzzle. Least she still had the statue and the rest of whatever nonsense Sonja had stuck in the backpack at the time.

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

The sider beind the small counter notice her and made a wave wave with one of his legs before return to eat. There was some blood from what he was eating now and his face have some drops too close its fangs.

Sunflower continue with the path in front of her, it looks to had been a basement some time ago there were some man shaped cocoons over the most far high places, some young giant spiders were there, not doing too much than look at her as she pass below them. There was not too much at the backpack than she have now, there was a soft mov inside from time to time, but all looks to be comon in this back pack or her imagination for being in such place as a spider nest.

There then were some bloody marks on the wall than made her road divide into two intersections. Between these intersections she notice a pallic object it could be used to make her back pack rst she have that first in mind yet could there be others ways to use this.

"Easement received will bring reward"

It was what she read from the marks on the wall pointing to both passages at her sides. There was so few light now as the gems were reducing in quantity but one side have what looks to be someone or something walking on the ceiling

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower shudders, not wanting to know what or who the spiders were eating.She quickly went down the tunnel.

Moving along, she noted the tied up bodies and more spiders watching her. At times, she swore even her backpack moved, but she didn't dare stop to check right now. She had no desire to be the next one stuck to the ceiling as a living larder.

Soon she came to an intersection, bloody marks on the walls there. They seemed to spell something out. Sunflower read it and frowned. Great, another sexualised riddle. This one seemed to imply using it would bring reward, but frankly she didn't want to find out what these things considered a reward.

In any case her musings were cut off, as movement caught her attention in the darkness of one intersection. Something on the ceiling. She cast a spell, making a ball of flame to act as a torch in her hand and raising it to see what or who was up there.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

With her new light source in hand she could see some dark scale bodies crawling on the ceiling, trying to dont make any sound until she illuminate the place, they were three at least, different from a spider, they have theirs arms filled with deadly spikes and one even have an old axe in his back. More sounds far on the distance could be noticed behind these three humanoid creatures.

Meanwhile screech sounds were heard comming from where the spiders are

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower pauses, staring up at the monsters up on the ceiling down one path. They were clearly tough, some even still had weapons jammed up into their bodies. And it sounded like there was a lot of them too.

Her thinking was cut off however by the sounds of screeching from the spider's nest. Maybe they hated fire or something, but she decided she didn't want to find out what it was.

Given a choice between an empty seeming path, spike lizards and giant spiders, Sunflower decided to run down the path not having stalkers on the ceiling. sooner she was out of there, the better.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Soon as she run, the creatures on the wall increase theirs moves toward her, the spiders rush too but then an intense quantity of hits and screech was heard behind her in the now dark place after she has leave.

Sunflower could still heard moves behind her, the armed creature each time more near. There were fewer nets around and a pair of squeletons close rusted weapons apear each time until soon one of the creatures jump over her.

Sunflower block part of the impact moving away and then she rolls a little on the dirty floor.

Once up she see herself one of the creatures holding his axe closing her path, as the other prepare to cast something as its words out of humanity fill the place.

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

The creatures above promptly chased after her. The spiders did too, but it sounded like the two species might be fighting behind her. Either way she did not want to be in the middle of all that.

However she didn't break clean, as the creatures pursued her. She heard it before it struck, and as it leaped she managed to roll with the blow, lessening the impact and letting her come up into a crouch. The creature with the axe was barring her path, but her bigger alarm was a second one was casting a spell!

"Oh hell no, there's only one mage around here and that's me!," snaps Sunflower, before raising a hand and tried to cut off the enemy caster's chant with a wave of flame. She didn't know what he was up to and she had no desire to find out.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

The powers hit each other as even when Sunflower not needed a chant she started last, however looks like the dark spell colliding dont produced too much damage to her, maybe he was not trying to hurt her. However she have all that intention so at the end the strange monster caster was sended to fly away some feet.

The mosnter on her back take the chance given by this duel using his axe to hurt her back leg as this pass almost wtithout bring too much pain but she will have some problems to evade now.

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Her power overwhelmed the other creature, sending it flying as her flame overwhelmed whatever dark magic it was trying to use. The purifying power of flame at its best.

However the creature behind her took an opening, leaping past and slicing her leg with its axe. She grunted, surprised at the lesser damage to herself, before carefully adjusting her position to keep both beasts on the same side. She then tried to form a wall of flame between her and them, hoping to be able to get away, or at least burn them if they tried to follow up. Hopefully it;s get up in time before they moved past it.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower decide to try a better defensive position, trying to get out of them to place them in the same area so she could avoid any other sudden attack. She then casted a fire wall expecting to be defended. Then the darkness spell come from outside making both creatures use that darkness to appear behing her and make a team grapple on her, pinning her on the floor but the sudden move only cause her some small wounds at her kness and head.

Sunflower 3/6 grappled

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower grinned as her wall went up, cutting them off, before moving to get away. Suddenly however, supernatural darkness appeared about her. the creatures evidently could teleport in the dark, as suddenly she was pinned down from behind, slammed down by two of them.

"No, I won't surrender to monsters like you!," snarls Sunflower angrily, eyes blazing as she tried to surround herself in an aura of flame, trying to make holding onto her too painful to continue.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Jean decide to dont make them easy their catch so quickly she focused on cast fire around her until suddenly the mage creature counter it with a dark seal, turning her magic against her hurting her body with the magic source, she ended with some pain at her insides.

With this being her only chance she tried to cast something again what made her feel pain again, her clothes slowly filled with holes until she could see some marks on her sealing her powers as she almost faint tired and powerless for the first time in her adventure

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower cast her spell, then cried out in pain as instead of the flame issuing outwards, it felt like it burnt inside her instead. A miscast?! Terrible timing.

Trying again, she attempts to assert her magic, before howling in agony as her magic is drained painfully from her. She looked, holes in her clothes were burned, revealing sealing marks, having devoured her magic.

She felt so drained, so helpless. She teared up, even as she weakly struggled to try and pull away. "Hate this place... So much..."

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

The creatures soon prepare her to take her with them, slowly the mage entity casting a teleporting spell as the other secured their prize, they were placing a more permanent seal on her and some like shackes at her hands when suddenly two large spiders jump over the intruders, interrupting the spell of the mage and taking off guard the axe man.

In total four giant spiders almost of Jean's size made a terrible show in font of her as the two humanoid monsters were literaly eaten alive, theirs remains wraped in white cocoons and then one of the spiders turn to Sunflower screeching as other heard and get closer using a leg to turn her face up and even if she tried to struggle soon her clothes will be slighty damaged to let exposed her belly.

The creatures turn there see for a moment and made more sounds as her body was naybe ready for the trip, she could see still the marks on her body casted by the now dead monster.

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

Sunflower grunted, shuddering as she stared, trembling as they prepared to seal her from her magic permanently, her very soul and nature cut off. she'd rather be dead. She was shackled as well.

Then providence, terrifying monstrous providence as the giant spiders tackled the beasts, stopping her from being rendered a shell of her former self. A second set of spiders soon followed.

Sunflower was left with the horrific image of the beasts being eaten alive, her cringing away from the scene, but she was so weak, struggling to get up. Unfortunately her struggles drew the creatures attention.

They rolled her over, tearing her clothes further, and revealing her stomach, her shuddering in fear. The beasts didn't devour her on the spot though, and started dragging her away despite her weak struggles. "No, no, I'm not food, damn it!," said Sunflower fearfully as she tried to struggle away.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

The creatures dont stop or heard her shouts, she was slighty webbed the enough to not escape and be pulled all the way back to the start. As she was transladed she could see the remains of the fight, damaged and dead spiders on the floor as a bunch of cocoons being pulled to where she was going and over others places. Sadness screech sounds even after a huge victory for the spiders. With all the love than a sack of potatoes could get too Sunflower was placed by a sudden move to the front of the counter where the spider was eating the last time. A giant spider, maybe the same bite around her tied arms and then leave for an instant before bring a book to Sunflower.

Finally some writing than she could understand she suppose until she saw the style of the letter and the ink at a side of the counter. This book was not so old, maybe just an half hundred of years and these spider letters were hard to read but not imposible.

[ALL THE TIME THE FOUR GIANT SPIDERS REMAIN IN GUARD.]

 

[Zilrax]

Re: Jean (Zilrax)

It seemed she did indeed get caught in between a turf war. Several dead creatures and dead spiders. Cocoons dragged off as food and she'd join them soon enough.

However, rather she was dumped on the counter, her grunting at the hard impact. A spider cut her arms loose, her blinking in confusion, before a book was put in her hands. Glancing about he noted those four spiders were staying around and on guard.

Too tied up and weak to flee, she frowned and decided to open the book and read, seeming very confused. But at least she wasn't being devoured.
