Player Plot: Let's Explore Mad'ni Shrine!

[whirluendo_of_puns]

Who: Everyone who signed up!
When: Around November 3-6ish
Where: The Mad'ni Shrine
What: Searching for the lost ruins beneath the Shrine!
Warnings/Notes: It's another dreaded water level.

Although the flight provided by Curti Center takes them as close as they possibly can, the Heroes still have to take a brief walk through the woods to reach their destination. It remains to be seen whether the trip will be worth it. After all, their hope of finding a Legendary Eidolon, or even just clues pointing to one, is based on little more than guesswork.

But, with the time ticking down towards the end of the world, they don't have the luxury of ignoring a lead, no matter how vague. A shot in the dark might be what saves them all in the long run.

OOC info and sign-ups are here!

Snow White sighed heavily with relief and buckled, holding himself up with his hands on his knees. "Finally..." It wasn't like it was a long battle, but it hadn't been easy. And Dylas' stupid monsters had made things worse.

"Ashe...?" he called between breaths. "You alright?"

And as he looked up for her... he couldn't help but eye that large amount of gil the monster had mysteriously left behind.

[einspine]

Oh. Well, that was... helpful. If a bit sudden. His eyes turn googly as he... gulps down the potion? Maybe? He has no throat, but the stuff does go down. And disappear. It's probably a bit surreal to watch, really.

Give him a sec to just... process the sudden healing before he straightens himself up and dusts his clothes off.

"WELL! THAT WAS CERTAINLY... INTENSE, BUT WE TRIUMPHED! WE ARE THE HEROIC VICTORS!!! ...AND THAT MONEY LOOKS QUITE PROMISING."

He pauses, looking at the door. "AND YES, FRISK. I'M ALL RIGHT NOW! THANK YOU FOR THE SPONTANEOUS POTION."

[sassafrisk]

Frisk lets out a sigh of relief as Papyrus returns to his normal vivacity. "That... that was way too close." Then they turn to smile brightly at their friend. "But HOLY CRAP WHAT WAS THAT?! IT WAS SO COOL HOW DID YOU DO THAT CAN YOU TEACH ME WAIT WAS THAT YOUR MELODY?" They knew Pap was good with bone magic, but that... that was on a whole different level! SO COOL!

Good job he made that extra step back, wouldn't have done well at all to get caught in that Medusa explosion.

Still, Sephiroth waited for a good beat and a half before he stepped out of a combat-ready stance and slid his katana back into its sheath; he kept his full attention on where the monster had been until he was certain nothing else was going to happen.

Finally, as the regenerative music ticked at repairing his health pool, Sephiroth laid eyes on the Super Money Bag that was left behind. Now that could go a long way for him, certainly would help put off the need for the charity of the curti center, at least for a while. Besides, why shouldn't he at least take a cut?

Sephiroth flicked his head to remove a couple of stray, wet strands of silver hair which had fallen into his face before cautiously approaching the apparent big bag of loot.

Somehow they managed to pull off that victory. Letting out a breath, Adrien sheathed his own sword and finished off his hi-potion. Looking around, everyone could probably use a little bit of healing, but several people in particular.

One person of that note was Sephiroth who was coming over to check out the loot too; though, now Madhuri had used her regenerative magic. He'd have to thank his boss later.

"So... what are we doing with this?" He looked over at the other swordmaster. He didn't really need any part of it...

Loot split!

[wind_in_my_ears]

Klonoa is nothing if subtle. He hefts up the huge sack of gil, looking at it. He turns to look at the others, counting just how many people there...

There are a lot of people here, it seems.

And unless someone explicitly stops him, considering he doesn't strictly know exactly what the sack contains, it's upended and carefully poured out into a big pile of coins right there on the ground, making the satisfying sounds of coins clinking into each other and dropping into the shallow water.

"Whoof.. this is going to take a while to push into equal piles."

With nothing else coming after them, the Heroes have all the time in the world to celebrate, recover and split the loot as they wish. Even with a party this big, it's still 10,000 gil each!

Once they do head back to check the right-hand doors, they'll find small rooms, each one containing a lever. The lever on Floor 2 has one blue dot on it, while the lever on Floor 1 has three red dots.

The lever on Floor 2 lowers the water level by 1.

The lever on Floor 1 raises the water level by 3.
