She appears a both confused and determined after the reaction given by the vanishing knight.
"You know, if it has to do with the woods the girl that can talk to plants can be pretty helpful in that kind of situation."
She says indicating her situation with plant life.
"Have you seen how old some of these trees are? Some of them remember times long before the first dojo."

"No, no. It has nothing to do with the trees. Something else."
-
"Metaphorically, what might this 'nothing' and 'something else' have to do with?" She says half joking, eyeing where the scroll was stashed.
-
"Alright, I'll tell you what it is, but you mustn't tell anyone. There is this, vault, rumor has it that the gods put valuable treasures in it. Problem is if you try to open it and you fail, BLAM! Dead. If my theory is correct, I could open it."
-
"A treasure hidden by the gods... interesting. Your knight friend looked like he wasn't too pleased with the idea of you trying to open it. Some kind of intelligence officer of yours?" She gives a light glance towards where the knight had vanished off expecting to spot him hiding out in a nearby brush.
-
"We've been friends for a long time. We just want to be sure the vault will open. None of us want to die." [b]The knight reappears next to Jäger.[/b] [u]So, what's going on?[/u]
-
Looks towards the knight. She gives out a smile to make sure there is no confusion. "Just simple curiosity. Saw you guys wandering while I was gathering plants and decided to follow. Name is Ama by the way." She says while offering out her hand.

[b]The knight shakes her hand.[/b] [u]I'm Torre. Nice to meet you.[/u] [b]Torre's face is hidden behind his Black Iron helm.[/b] "So, how's everyone back home doing?" [u]It's gone.[/u] "What!?" [u]Yeah, a tyrant took over, waltzed in and killed anyone who opposed him. Which means we're banished from the Sunless Realm.[/u] "Well, we need to kill this asshole!" [u]But he has an army.[/u] [b]Jäger turns to Ama.[/b] "Ama, will you help us?"
-
Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 9/20/2016 7:33:24 PMA dull roar is heard as a massive arm burst forth from the ground. A strange beast emerges from the dirt starring down at Ama. "Well, it looks like he want to help so I'm willing" The monster kneels down laying it's hand flat in front of them. "He may not be too fast but he is better than running" [spoiler]decided to add minions lol[/spoiler]
-
"Well then." [u]I'll open up the portal.[/u] [b]Torre opens up a blue portal using a spell.[/b] "Ok, we have to be fast, once we jump in the portal on the other side opens up. The tyrant may have guards near it so expect a fight." [u]And don't trust anything or anyone.[/u] "Ama, we're ready when you're ready."
-
"Alright guess it's time to turn off the restriction gear again" A light miasma seems to coat the area causing plant life to grow rampant. A number of blades begin to float through the air. "Hmm should I put a limiter on the output? Eh oh well. All set. Let's go"
-
"Ok, get ready." [b]Jäger and Torre jump through the portal, followed by Ama. When they get into the Sunless Realm a line of 30 soldiers are waiting on the other side.[/b]
-
Holding her sword at the ready along with a titan awaiting an order from her master. "These guys... good or *splat noise*?" She says as she spots a few vines on the wall.
-
"No, these guys are bad." [b]Jäger unsheaths his moonlight greatsword. Torre readies his battle axe and shield.[/b] [u]Plan?[/u] "Kill everything." [b]Jäger charges in and kills two soldiers, Torre charges with his shield, knocking a soldier down.[/b]
-
"Well then." The vine grows huge and thorns protrude from it now. The barbed vine wraps around two nearby and jabs them and then let's them go. Hallucinogens quickly take effect as you hear horrified screams from the victims. One lunges at another solider while the other lies there with the very face of terror displayed upon him.
-
[b]After a few minutes of fighting the soldiers are dead. No more in sight.[/b] "Thought that there would be more. Whatever, let's head to the kingdom." [u]Remember, don't trust anyone or anything.[/u] [b]The group walks through a village. Many poor people are on the street, begging for food.[/b] "Poor souls." [b]A small child walks up to Ama, begging for food.[/b]
-
Ama seemingly unsure what to do keeps walking seeming slightly agitated. "Hey uhh.... I don't usually deal with kids... does it want an apple or something?" She keeps looking back to see if it is still following her.
-
"Don't give it anything. Remember, dont trust anything or anyone." [b]As the group continues to walk they spot the kingdom. However, the path leading to it is a narrow brigde, many soldiers occupy it.[/b] [u]I knew this was a bad idea. Now we gotta fighr an entire army.[/u]
-
Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 9/22/2016 12:13:41 AMShe seems like she has something in mind but holds it in for a little. After a little while she finally mutters. "Ehh.... *sigh* fine.... what are the off chances this 'Tyrant' enjoys having audience with maidens... grrrr....." Clearly agrivated at the words coming out of her mouth but clever enough to admit it might work.
-
[b]Jäger and Torre turn to face each other.[/b] "I mean, it could work." [u]But then again, we did put a lot of explosives on the bridge.[/u] "Would be a shame to waste all that time." [u]How about I just toss a firebomb at the group of soldiers.[/u] "Great idea" [b]Torre tosses the firebomb. The soldiers form a phalanx and march towards the group.[/b] "Oh look, 200 soldiers, how will beat them?" [u]I kniw, how about i light this fuse.[/u] [b]Torre lights a fuse, the bridge explodes and the soldiers fall into the canyon below. Jäger uses pyromancy to form a bridge of fire.[/b] "Now, lets go kill that damn tyrant. He has no army to protect him."
-
"Huh... that's a lot of explosives...." Sitting down watching the smoke rise. "Preeeetty sure if he didn't notice a group of people butchering his soldiers earlier he probably figured it out now. Speaking of soldiers..." Unknown to everyone Ama was still carrying one of the soldiers from before. She gives a good whack across the side of his helmet and he awakes with a startle. "I'm pretty sure we may as well learn a few things about who we are about to attack. I doped him up on so much truth serum he probably doesn't even know what a lie is. Right weepy?" The soldier looks completely dazed and disoriented. The simple word "Yes" fumbles out of his lips.
-
[b]Torre walks up to the soldier.[/b] [u]Hey, you, asshole. Who us this tyrant?[/u] [i]Umm, h-he just walzted in, killed the king, and promised lots of free shit.[/i] "Wait, wait, wait, you sound familier. Bottle-head Bob?" [i]Jäger? Torre? Oh god please no.[/i] [u]Remember when we filled his house with bottlecaps.[/u] "Priceless." [u]Ok bottle-head, how do we kill the tyrant?[/u] [i]Just walk in, he has no guards protecting him.[/i] "Good, ok bottle-head, thanks for the help." [b]Jäger and Torre hang him on a tree.[/b] [i]C'mon guys, let me go.[/i]
-
"Don't worry bottle cap guy, the puking usually subsides after a few days." [i]gah... what puki- blaaarrgghhh[/i] "Wow... ew..." She turns back towards the castle. "So... front door?"
-
"Hell yeah front door." [u]Lets kill this asshole.[/u] [b]The group walks up to the castle gate. The humongous door closed.[/b] "Ok, let's open it up." [b]Jäger opens the door. Inside sits the tyrant. He wears a set of knight's armor. When he stands up he transforms into a giant rock creature, about 30 feet tall.[/b] "Holy shit."

Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 9/22/2016 6:26:07 PMA devious smirk appears across Amas face. She holds up a bag of seeds in her hand "You know, there are quite a few situations in nature where a tree will simply break through boulders to get to its nutrients." A few blades appear hovering in front of her. "Release restriction. Let's see if your any different." She straps seeds on the blades and hurls them letting the seeds rapidly grow, sinking into parts of the creature. "It's not the fastest method but at a minimum he will have trouble moving while the roots dig in. Still, it would take too long to just wait till he's eaten alive by plant life. Any more explosives?"
-
"Well, we have little explosives, but Torre is climbing the giant as we speak." [b]Torre's axe lights on fire as he begins to strike the giant's head. However, the giant starts flailing his arms and hits the castle walls.[/b] "Shit, he's gonna destroy the castle!" [b]Jäger begins to use sorcery to repair the walls.[/b]
