Swarm spreading

I noticed that the pit ground would be perfect to expand the swarm but it would need to be in the center. I then told the lumber to move to the center and clear up the lumbers nearby the area. I then started to swing on the ropes but when I did, my cloak went off and the people behind me now noticed me. I was thinking "I need to expand the swarm before they noticed and start to kill me". I made it to the 6th rope and then fell down but the void lumber cleared the way and I landed on the pit floor safely. I then communicated to the core of the unknown passage to send over a swarm seed to corrupt more of the land. The unknown passage sent a seed along and then I planted it down and it slowly spread. I then get an upgrade to my cloak which made me fully invisible. The void lumber got his strength back and tossed me up to the exit and since there was a seed in the pit, all the other lumbers where getting slowly changing into void lumbers. When I left the pit, the strong self-curse came back and I thought "I really hate this strong self-curse but I need to spread the swarm anyways so it kind of makes since I guess."

GAHHH! I'm behind!

I travel through the first room carefully avoiding the trapdoors. I make my way to the second door and walk through. Inside is a massive pit filled with lumbers and 13 ropes hanging above my head. On the other side is the door.

I see a few others attempt to cross the chasm, swinging from the ropes like armored monkeys. One seems to manage to make it across but seems to slip a little, my eyes widen more as I look down at the chasm to see the the swarm slowly but surely, spreading through the lumbers. I realise that I'm on the edge of the starting platform and spin my arms frantically backwards, rather like a windmill, to prevent myself from topplimg forwards. However I find myself starting to fall and I hurriedly clutch onto the first rope. From my past history of robbery this has gained me execptional agility and I manage to swing forward. From the view of the 7th rope I look down and see that the swarm has now fully spread between the lumbers.

What in Vog is going on?

I listen intently as the first attractive lady talks to the clever Knight, for a second I smile, thinking what a great team we would make, but I quickly return to my emotionless glare. I cloak myself and move closer. The girl also has a clever mind, the force of the elemental energy, might cause the Swarm Seed to implode on itself, but ti would be quite tricky. The part about the other attractive girl being a threat was logical, but I didn't really want to believe it. Still, it made perfect sense, even if this girl had come to save us or something, there was no way she could just waltz in with amazing gear and offer to assist us. It was the best trap yet. I decide to keep my eye on the two, moving back and uncloaking.

There, edited to correctly correct!

My bullets are able to hit them, but the damage doesn't seem to be very significant at all. I guess it would be faster to swing across. I think to myself. However, before I can act, a woman come out of the door and stats shooting at the lumbers with what seems to be a voltedge-challahan mix.

"Come on, This way!" she shouts to us across the chasm.

"What the...? How come she doesn't have proto equipment?" I say to myself.

Well, I probably should cross now, or else something bad might happen.

Before I can act again, however, A man seems to appear out of nowhere in the middle of swinging from rope to rope, however, he intentionally falls into an area void of lumbers and creates some... black... thing that radiates some kind of aura. All the lumbers in the chasm turn to pitch black, and the man get flung up to the by one other side.

Well, this room is filled to the brim of not-fun surprises, isn't it?"

I head over to the ropes and start trying to swing across.

((OOC: Finally correct, now to catch up again.))

I finally lose balance, and fall to the chasm. As I get closer, I turn around, and see it full of tree-like monsters. Somehow, in the middle, was a black glop of something. I use my wings to slow and cushion my fall, but I still landed on my butt. I gingerly rubbed the spot, and the tree-like monsters moved close to me. I grab my two Proto Guns and entered rapid fire mode, but the monsters seemed immortal and invincible, hardly even getting hurt.
Figures, all I have are Proto Guns.
I look around and I see a woman with a gun(probably a combined Voltedge and Callahan) helping the guy earlier. She called, "Hey!". But I was trapped, and she continued shooting the other monsters. Then I remembered the weak knockback of Proto Guns. I charge the two guns together, and blast them at the monsters in front of me. The monsters were pushed back a little, and I had time to hop out to her.

Aw, man... If I don't get a change of weapons quickly, I'm gonna be useless.

((Same as Ise.))

Damsel saving a damsel in distress

The other woman (whom you should refer to as "the stranger" for the time being) leaped into the chasm and plunged her Voltedge into the ground. A powerful trail of explosions tore through the crowd of lumbers and shot them back, giving Eve the break she needed. The stranger grabbed her and threw her up to the exit ledge before suddenly disappearing from view.

Vogdamnit! Someone needs to die!

Biting his lip angrily, the Operator pulled a lever, sending gas all over the room, then switching off the lights. "Gas mask on. Take the bodies to room number 28. Escape from that!" Then Operator noticed a pretty girl, slumped over her dual guns. "Except for subject number 67. I intend on having fu with her."

Fire the cannons!

I scanned a trap right in front of me. I decided to blast it with my Proto Grenade Launcher, so three bars of the trap door fall down, ruining the mechanism for the trap. I laughed, then ran forward at immense speed, as quick as a dash. Then I fired my grenade launcher at the walls, creating a shortcut for where I should be according to my scanner's readings.

A wild temporal rift has appeared!

A temporal rift causes everything Pow did to reverse. The walls and traps are repaired. In addition, it seems that the laws of physics themselves have changed slightly, because his Proto grenade launcher can't even dent the walls anymore. What a strange occurrence!

And if you think I'm a mistake

And if you think I'm a mistake...

I'm thrown across the floor, but I activate my wristwatch, and I'm floating before the ground. I'd never bow to him. As I right myself, I stare up at him. He stares back, but I can tell mine is stronger. "Tell me. What were you doing talking to the Warden again?" I answer back perfectly, "I was asking about our defenses, because of the earthquakes."
"And?"
"He said they were flawless. He was lying."
"And how would you discern that?"
Because I saw you bribing him. I think. "He was fidgety."
"Well anyone can be fidgety. Are all those people liars?"
"No..."
"Well then, I guess you were wrong. I want you to stop looking into our defenses, and clean the southern-end hall." I look right at him. "Fine." I say with a smug smile, leaving him staring at my back hatefully as I walk away. I was a better person than he'll ever be, yet his subjects love him. He is corrupt, but he's more corrupt than even words can quite define. I walk to the maid, you smiles and throws a rag at my face. "Get to it, missy." She says in a sweet voice as I duck the rag fast and snatch it. I wipe the walls, and get to the window to see a man crouching next to his daughter before walking into the castle alone. The little girl picks flowers, and starts tying them into a small crown. I smile a little. Since I was born, my father never so much as hugged me. He only thinks of me as his little fault. Or even his mistake. The idiot wouldn't even see it coming, what's inevitably coming.
My justice.

What happened and where am I? As I stand up, I can't see anything but I can hear snarls from Trojans. I need to figure a way around these Trojans but I can't sense any enemies that can be corrupted and I can see new items on the ground but I just ignored them and I noticed that everyone else was here but I started to walk slowly watching out for the Trojans sword attack. I don't know what else was in this room so I started to feel the ground in case there was a trapdoor underneath. I slowly look around but then a Trojan starts to swing his sword but I heard it and jumped back. I then moved back to the spot where the original Trojan attacked but this time, I moved past it and then passed a second and third Trojan back to back. I don't know how far I was but I still feel tired and then collapsed again.

((OOC: catching up now,

((OOC: catching up now, +adding activity.))
As soon as I'm on the other side, I her vents opening and the lights go dark.

What the- my mind goes dark.

----------------------------------

I wake up in a dark room. Upon looking around, I note that it is very dark and that I can't see. However, I hear some grunts that sound like trojans, though they probably can't reach me, because if they could, I'd be dead. That means: A: I'm on an elevated platform and the trojans are in a pit B: Their chained in place or something like that, or C: they somehow made nice Trojans. I doubt it's C.

I then notice something odd about the grips of my sword and my gun. They're... a bit more smoothed out? The blade seems longer and the barrel to, but I'm not entirely sure which weapons they are. I stand up and start trying to figure out a way out of the room.

I decide to see if I can discern if there is any areas without a grunt, and therefore a trojan.

From Dusk till Dawn ((Entering now))

Slowly coming to Deadman groned as he heard the sound of what could only be defined as Trojans surrounding the Warden. Must have cracked my head again. But that is not a sound I like. The man slowly tries to move around only to find himself in-cased in his armor and trapped with his hands behind some kinda object causing his arms to be useless till he was freed. Once the dull pain ebaded Deadman took a moment to Liston. From the sounds of it, these creatures were standing still but off in the distance one had taken a swing. Thinking to him self, if he can't see them they can't see him and whoever is moving around in this room was more then likely an enemy then a friend. Giving his arms a russle he found he was indeed unable to move freely. Not good...can't speak either. Who ever did this to me must have known I would make noise...Explains why my helm is muffled...Cleaver. in fact his helm was indeed muffled as he found it hard to look down due to some fabric placed around his neck. Since the armor was sealed from head to toe the only way some one was going to pried his armor off was to kill him but that did not seem the case here as some one had left him alive. ALl he could do at this point was try and make some kinda noise, which came out more like the grunting sounds from the Trojans then anything else, and hope some one would give him a hand or if he was unlucky, kill him.

All of a sudden, the lights in the room cease. Alerted, I quickly slouch down and form a force shield around me, in preparation for whatever they may surprise us with. I can't seem to hear anything besides the other Knights whispering and the lumbers moving about. Suddenly all the talking seems to fade and I hear people slumping to the ground. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be any physical contact, meaning no one is directly being attacked, and there isn't even the sounds of a ranged weapon. Cautiously, I release my force shield. Something in the air doesn't seem right, what happened? Why does everyone seem to be- Then it hits me, no wonder, of course the air doesn't seem right! One last thought lingers in my head as I feel my head spinning - knockout gas.

Wait a second

I woke back up and I started to stand back up. I then started to walk and then felt 3 corridors, 1 going up, 1 going right and 1 going down. I decided to take the down route and run through and made it past tons of Trojans. As I was running through I heard a muffling sound. I was thinking "Wait a second, who is that, that is not a Trojan sound, it sounds more like a warden". I then start to walk down the rest of the corridor and then the door was locked. I moved back to where that odd noise was. I then collapsed again because of the knockout gas still being in my body.

When I'm hanging onto the 12

When I'm hanging onto the 12 rope the lights suddenly flicker off. I look around confused. I hear something flip open and I hurriedly reach out to grab the 13th rope. I hear a hiss of gas and I inhale something that has a sort of odd smell. I begin to feel dizzy and blackness starts to seep into my sight. I wearily tumble onto the platform and and darkness engulfs me...

===

I wake up to hear snarls and groans of what can only be trojans. I blink a few times to be only welcomed by darkness. Am I blind?. I sit down and blink rapidly. Still darkness. I feel my proto weapons and, wait, proto weapons?. My new weapons feel, smoother, newer. I shout out.

Hello?

Following the Noise

I hurry after everyone else, jumping and snatching the rope, swinging past the others who are in the way. I land, and turn my head at the others behind me, calling out. "Don't fall, because there's something besides Lumbers waiting for you down there." I run into the next room, and only someone exceptionally noticing to detail would have seen the V burning on the back of my neck and back of my hands. I stop in the next room, and hear the squeaking of Trojan limbs. Tough, but this gives me the advantage, because I'm not scared. If I knew where the door was...I could find a way to get the others to the next room. If I can find a neutral Trojan, I can talk to whoever it used to be. That's how Trojans are made, isn't it? And I did talk to that...thing

"Who are you? WHAT are you?!" I scream, the blood staining the ground and walls of the ballroom, over the pictures of everyone hanging on the wall. The grotesque smile and many limbs all glued together unnaturally, stained in random spots, black. The many faces and many eyes just stared, sharing in agony and an insane sense of happiness.
"I am what will bring this kingdom down. I am the one who you fear more than any reality a serial killer could create. I am the one who only takes, but never gives. I am your own, but minus all individuality, and all humanity. I am the Swarm, the thing that makes all things unified, and makes all things it's own. I am like a plague, but I am with intelligence. And I am immortality, and I claim your soul into a blank nothingness but my own mind. I am not evil, I simply do what I seek..." I step back, and as the walls crumble, I close my eyes and reach to my necklace...a tear falling on it, and light blinding everything...

The next thing I see, is only burning white flames, and a fiery humanoid dragon holding out a burning golden V shining in his hands...

I snap back to reality, and find a huge broadsword flying down at my head. I turn, and it barely misses my shoulder. And...I run and tackle it into a hug...

((happened after confronting Axis))

I awake, slightly angry at my own ignorance for not realizing what had happened, but I know it doesn't matter anymore. We were once again confronted by darkness, the only sounds being that of shuffling Knights and snorts and grunts. A strong thud startling me, I attempt to discern its location, it sounds like... Trojans. Hurray. I decide to wait, and see if someone else can turn on the lights, for creating a fire here would be too difficult, with nothing to burn and the chance that I might light someone on fire, I settle down, and wait.

Surprise

I stare in horror as the lumbers in the pit had turned into swarm. "This wasn't in the contract..." I mutter to myself. Just as I finished contemplating the occurrence, the girl in the dress begins to talk to me. She wanted an alliance of sorts, but only for the weapons. It was peculiar to say the least. At the end she ended up asking my name. "It's, Axis." I say to her, just as the room floods with knockout gas. The girl from the other side of the chasm disappears, and I'm left to wonder what she could possibly be here for. I come to a bit later, dazed and confused, into complete darkness. Except for the trojans. Their violet crystals are easily visible in the darkness, and it's easy to see where they're charging from. I quickly get to my feet, and start dodging, finding that I have a blaster and a caliber now. I see others fighting off the menaces too, "We need to work together!" I shout, knowing it's just a matter of time before we're caught by the stone horses.

Lights!

There is a brief flash of light, and a Trojan whinnies and dies. The one who fired the weapon is not visible.

The Trojans seem to be running blindly into walls, hearing the players, but unable to see them.

Team killing

As I get more familiar with the room, I look around. A quick flash of light allows us to see a trojan die, to an unknown assailant. As I look around more, the trojans blindly charge, not being able to see. I quickly set a plan up. I shout at a trojan, hoping to get it's attention, it soon charges and I quickly sidestep, it's blade is stuck into the wall I was behind. While the first is busy freeing it's sword, I lure a second one to the same spot, it blindly charges exactly like the first. A deafening crack was heard, and a trojan cry rings out. "Block heads..." I mutter to myself.

Too Far Gone

I step back, as the Trojan tries to attack again, I snatch it's arm with my hand, and am flung up as it retracts. I land on it's head, and hold on as it's eyes glow angrily magenta. "Stop, and pay." I speak incredibly forcefully, drawing attention. This Trojan betrayed everything it was, and gave itself to it's sin. Then that means I must purify it...with death. I pull on it's head, and use my feet to force it to the ground in a kick. I rip off one if it's boots, and slam it into the crystal upon it's back. As it rapidly turns to stone, I hold the back of it's head. "You didn't have to wallow in sorrow, but you did, and this was your choice of living. I am the consequence for betraying your values and whatever you were, the consequence for wasting your Isoran body, even though you could have easily used it to help others and the world for giving it to you." I lean down, and whisper my name before the body shivers and crumbles to dust, just enough that it knows it in death.

"It seems there's a woman in the Overworld, one that has saved and destroyed. Well, I want to get into that kind of gamble. Could be fun, but if you don't know, I'm not allowed into the Overworld unless, oh, a Gate opens. So, I want you as my prophetess. I will see everything through you, and constantly know what you do, and you will also have to kill the ones who leave their selves to sin...but when the time comes, when you die, I will give you rebirth as my full Prophetess of Vog. Give me your word and loyalty to do my bidding, and you will be given resurrection as one of the highest calibers. So, would you agree?"
It sounds...scary. I've never done anything so drastic, but maybe...if I can bring down my father's tyranny in the end...and it's not like I'm selling my soul, like my dad, and turn into a monster. I'm only doing the bidding of a religion. It couldn't be too bad...
"I accept."
Burning flames dress me in black as I return to the glued-up monster. "I'll kill you, and ruin my father's plan. And you there is no escape, because your immortality, IS USELESS!" I run toward it, and shove my hand into it and rip it's magenta-crystal core out, crushing it. As it turns into particles, I throw the dust over it, and they drop to the ground, their own dust weighing them down. It'll do until I find the real core of this thing and end it...this battle is unfinished...

((Don't worry, this isn't a loophole through death. Just for the next roleplay...))

Looking around Deadman was able to hear and see the movement of people in the room. From the sounds of it the room they were in was rather small for what it was and these Trojans' were the weaker versions of the creatures. However it was still unbeknown to him whither the thing before him was friend or foe. Taking the moment using his feet Dead tried to get ahold of the person but clearly he was not able to get a hold of the man. Finding himself unable to get ahold of the person he gave up the gesture in a fools aron. Looking around he saw things were getting worse. It did not help that his back was hurting now that he was fully aware of what was happing now.

As people fire at the barely visible Trojans, a light is seen, but silhouetted beside the source of the light are a few Trojans. Do you move forward, or do you stay here and continue to fight the Trojans?

Meanwhile......

Eve wakes up in a brightly lit room, in her hands two Blitz Needles. A sign appears in front of her, saying, 'Get ready.' A moment after, the sign disappears, and with it's departure came 5 Bombies. Three corridors appeared behind Eve. Eve shot at a bombie, making it explode. Instantly after it's death, two more spawns, and runs at Eve.

Which one do you run to? (Addressing Skype and the audience in the above post.)

Last of knockout gas is gone now

I woke back up AGAIN and coughed out the last of the knockout gas in my body. I noticed the door that was previously locked, now seemed to be open but there was some Trojans blocking the way. I then realized that the Trojans who where locked in place before can now move. I started to run towards the Trojans in front of the door and dodged their sword attacks and rushed into the light room. However, the Trojans started to come after me.

Dmatter's picture

Let us see which door I go through!

There are some sounds of light movement, telling me that the others are in here to.

------------------

After some thought, I still can't figure a way out of here easily. I hope the trojans don't have the fastest reactions ever... I take a step forward.

There's a gun flash, and the sound of a trojan dieing. During the flash, I was able to notice a door 10 steps in front of me. I start running to it as trojans start running around crazy.

10. I feel one run past me. 9. 8. 7. 6. One brings it's sword down next to me, dealing some damage and stunning me for half a second. 5. 4. 3. I hear the sound of one charging, and it's getting louder. 2. I'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadie! 1. I wonder if I'll see my parents, or maybe that old man? I'm at the door and start shoving it open.

The trojan rams into me, shoving me face first into the door.

Miraculously, the trojan couldn't fit through, and the door wasn't high enough for him to bring down his sword. I quickly shoved the door closed again.

((OOC: Random number generator time! depending on what number, that's the door I go through. 1 is north, 2 is east, and 3 is south [I truly promise you I'll use one.] Okay here we go! and the number is... 3! Base it off that please thin, unless you planned on random numbering yourself. EDIT: fixed the twenty step thing, time to catch up.))

@Dmatter

I'll try to have the next room drawn up shortly.

20 steps is quite a lot for a small room, even if you're walking (which I doubt). It's probably closer to 10 steps across, 4-6 if you're aiming for a door on the next corner.

Edit: This is the room Klepto is in.

Topoyozariane's picture
Topoyozariane
Ah, but here's the tricky part.

As Klepto and Nitscu enter the room, Nitscu notices Klepto limping, probably from the Trojans that he evaded in the mad dash to this room. He also sees him holding his shoulder. Maybe a another wound? (Nitscu's wounds are not noted here, as he posted them himself.)

Upon further inspection, the empty ten foot long area seems to be making a slight 'sss' sound. If you squint across the room, you would see the golden key, with a sign above it saying, 'activation for other rooms.' Will you attempt to get the key, or will you retreat, dodging the Trojans, and returning to wherever you were?

Note that the room outside of the key room is still dark.

((Seat, how am I... exactly like that? :P))

Oh my God, these bombie things... They keep chasing me!

I run, the bombies giving chase at me. Every 2 meters I stop and unload the two Blitz Needles which mysteriously appeared in my hand, the moment I woke up. The bombies apparently exploded and let go of bullets at every cardinal direction. I do my best to evade, but... How the hell did I wind up here? I was just with the stranger girl, then...

I bump into a wall. Dammit. -.-

I rub my head gingerly, and turned around to see if more bombies spawn.

Braking out.

Looking around Deadman saw people were started to move on and he would not be left behind. No... moving around Deadman felt the fact he was bound but still he had the ability to move around slightly. Taking a deep breath Dead pulled his left arm, the pain was rather painful but he could bare it. Keeping his mind on his task at hand was hard enough added to the fact he was trying to keep his grones down so the Trojans would not hear him. After a moment a rather odd and muffed pop was heard and Deadman groned as his arm was pulled free, but out of place. Damn it, this is going to take a while to fix. Alright just a few more movements and I am free.. Swing his arm back and forth a little as well as bending at the elbow Deadman was able to reach up and take the cloth from around his neck off as well as what ever was blocking the vocal vents of his helm. "Damnit that hurt. Need to get ahold of whoever is in here..." he said as he swong his arm around to get ahold of the ropes. The pain in his back was not as painful as before but still nitched every now and again. Looking around he could hear people moving. "Hay! I could use a hand over here!" Saying that might have been a bad thing because he could head a Trojan coming from his left side. This could work. Looking to his left Deadman started to make some more noise, causing the Trojan to move in closer, of course this also called in more to him. Once the one to the left was ontop of him Deadman braced himself for what was going to happen next. The sound of a blade being lifted up, followed by the grunting sound of a Trojan's and then...it fell and what ever was bounding him was cut through. Once he was free Deadman rolled forwards dead into a Trojan's shield. Rolling to the side he felt his armor get cliped by a Trojan's Sword. Either way Dead was in no condition to be fighting after dislocating his arm, getting up and bolding down the hall Deaman moved, knocking people out of his way. Not really meaning to of course, but this would have been a key to people some one else was in the room. Once he noticed Deadman had indeed knocked down someone he would reach back with a Right hand and pick them back up with his right hand. Looking around the room for a door.

As Eve bumped into a wall, she looked backwards to check if there was Bombies. Satisfied, she looked back at the wall, with a sign, 'Beware. High Grade Explosives.' There was a door. Suddenly, there was a boom, and at least two dozen Bombies were running towards Eve.

What will you do?

I run towards the bombies. They're a lot less dangerous than "High Grade Explosives". :/

Non-stop, I unload the Blitzes in my hand, pelting the Bombies with needles and they explode, the bullets strewn all over the room. Oh man.

I flap my wings and shield myself from the bullets. The bullets tore my wings a little, but heck, at least I survived...

Listen while reading...

I am tugged back up as I was pushed, and on a him start running and following the stranger. He was obviously a he from his grip. He'd be a strong help if he had a clue where a door was. I see a Trojan to the left of him, a little too close. I grab his shoulder, pull myself onto it, and jump and grab the Trojan's head one-armed. I tighten my grip as it's sword goes over it's back, making a long but shallow gash in my own back. I stare it hard in the guys before jumping up as it brings down the sword again. I hug the sword and yank myself into the air to balance on the blade with my boots. I jump off of that before I fall, and swing down my Proto Sword onto the crystal. As the Trojan dies, I whisper my name and run after the man in the direction he was headed, quickly catching up...and I grab his hand and start tugging him toward the wall, before looking behind at him and letting go, vanishing into the rest of the darkness((not teleporting, just hidden by darkness)). I have to help the others first...

Toggling at the dark.

Looking around Dead just barely cought sight of whom ever he was looking at before they were removed from his sight. Turning around Deadman quickly grabbed his dislocated arm and moved it around. Clearly nothing was going to snap it back into place right now, but when he got a moment he was going to need to relocated other wise he risked further damage to his arm.

Turning around quickly the Warden sighed as he felt the restrictions on his body from his armor starting to kick in. Because he weighted more then 300lbs with his armor on it was going to be hard to move him with normal means, but at the same time this worked agiced him. For as much of a wall it made him, it also made him slower then he liked when the time for fleeing was afoot. Damn it, alright stay calm...Weapons...weapons...Still have my Good blade and Shield. But with this busted arm I can't use them. With his right hand he reached to his side and found a Sword, from the feel it was a simple Cailber. He could work with this, of course this was not going to help alot, it was weak and if he put a full swing into this weapon it was bound to brake leaving him with an even worse disposition. However rest is for the dead as he was forced to move forwards again out of the way of an on coming Trojan. It was at this point he was ware of the pain in his back once more, as he moved to avoid the attacks of the Trojan's his back pinged and poked.

Looking up Deadman saw what he feared, the blade of an enemy about to take a fatal strike. Well, it would ahve been nice to keep this weapon... With a quick strike taking up as much strangth as he could muster Deadman slapped the face of his blade agiced the edge of Trojan's. With a resulting shower of sparks, the sound of metal braking, and the top two thirds of his sword flying off to the south Deadman was able to deflect the attack. Getting up he moved to the West of the room looking at the door before him. I love the smell of burned metal. He though as he moved.

Huh.

Honestly, the key room is to promote comradeship. (Sorry if I copied your wording, Thin.) You'll need 'certain' people's help to get the key.

Back to Eve.....

Satisfied, she tucked the Blitzs back into her pocket, then stop. 'If one bombie killed equals two bombies...... then two dozen bombies equal..... four dozen?'

Uh oh. She whipped her Blitzs back out, as the Bombies approach her. For some odd reason, they don't try to kill her. Instead, they seem to be trying to herd Eve into the room. But why?

Dammit, what are these things doing?

I let the bombies approach me. They seemed to push me into the room, but I decline. Well, they're four dozen bombies-- Can I really push myself out of there?

No... I don't want to die...

Then, I felt my butt touch the door to the room. Ohmygod... Wait... What if I... I glance at the bombies, they simply nod. I open the door... and they march inside. I grabbed the door and jumped over the bombies. I land behind them and pull my blitzes. I spin and unload the guns at the bombies. The heck is happening? Why am I being pushed by these things into the Explosives Room?

The bombies were pushed inside the room, and I dashed forward to close the door, successful.

I'm all alone here. I'm on my own right now. I must survive.

@Dmatter, think fast!

Klepto is suddenly pinned to the ground by a dark humanoid figure. It snarls as it clenches its fingers around his neck.

Its breath smells odd, almost dusty.

This doesn't look good.

I am started to walk through this dark maze but I now have 3 Trojans after me and I somehow took damage from the previous encounter. I start to run trying to find the exit but the Trojan's keep chasing after me. When I was walking through the dark maze, I got slashed by a random Trojan and the knockback threw me to a wall and collapsed again, but this time, I was able to get up and dodged the Trojan's charge attack. I saw a room that had light but then got attacked by another Trojan who knocked me to the door and then I rolled into the door, unfortunally I am really low on health and my vision is becoming fuzzy. The Trojan tried to enter the room but for some reason, he couldn't enter the room, I am really weak now and this strong self-curse doesn't help either.

Wait, I'm where? How??? Uhhh, okay? Sure!

How strange, I thought. Clearly, getting that key would be of quite great importance. Looking over at Kepto, I assume it's about time that I befriended him, after all, he could prove quite useful... Before I can even introduce myself, however, a black figure is already on top of him, seemingly have appeared from nowhere. Knowing that he was already injured, I knew I had to act fast. I threw out my hands open-palmed, then clenching them tightly. A sharp wave of condensed energy erupted outward from me, creating a thick electromagnetic field, which shot out, temporarily stunning Klepto, and hopefully doing the same to the figure, slightly pushing them both apart. Almost immediately, the temperature began to drop. Trying to move would now be difficult, because using the electromagnetic field, I forced a large portion of energy to be pushed away - probably towards the key and out into the dark room - causing the area to freeze down. The field also held onto the electrons, forcing the atoms from moving, but of course I could only hold onto them for a few seconds, and not so much that I could really halt all movement, or even close to that. With much exertion, I managed to pull my arms forward, and pointing them at the figure, I concentrated hard on the sounds of Trojan's and the darkness, as well as the approximate distance from our location to the 'Trojan Room' and attempting to teleport the attacker, I black out, not sure if I succeeded.

((OOC: sorry for missing a chance yesterday to post. Missing 3 days of school piles up homework a bit.))

Upon looking around the room, The first thing I notice is the key on the other side of the room.
The second thing is the wide hole in the ground.

I don't think I'll be able to do this myself... but I probably should rest a bit, my whole body is hurting. after I think this, I notice a sort of sound that sounds like the letter s coming from the pit. I look down to see If I can locate it.

Suddenly, I'm tackled and pinned to the ground. A Dark humanoid is on top of me, and is trying to suffocate me, and is breathing a dusty breath.

I pull out my new gun, which on further inspection is a blaster, and try and aim at it, with no luck due to the floor being so close. With my other arm, I drag myself over the pit and move my arm at its general area. As I aim, my eyes start to lose focus, but I use the last of my breath to slam on the trigger as much as I can.

((OOC: I thought of using a proto bomb, but I liked this idea better.))

Untouchable

To Klepto's dismay, his shot seemed to have no effect on his attacker (OOC: a clue that something is quite abnormal). It continued to strangle him until something shocked the both of them and knocked the attacker off. It yelped, opened the door, and darted into the Trojan room. The rest of the players took the opportunity to dash through the door and into the key room.

(OOC: now all the players are in this room. Figure it out! :D)

Moving into the Key Room

Seeing a door open Deadman spent not time debating whether or not it was in his best interest but rather thinking it would be better then a room full or cTrojan's. Letting his Dislocated arm flale about as he moved Deadman decided to move to the new room doing his best to dodge and or just stay alive. Of course even for his level of training it was impossible to escape all damage, and his armor proved it. Nicks and in some cases full on hits, if he could have used his shield this would have been easy to escape. Taking the broken Caliber in his hand with his feet making haste Dead soon found himself being rather kicked into a room with the sound of two others, since he was in the other room Deadman decided to keep his eyes closed safe for the very end and when he knew a Trojan was around him.

Once inside the room he walked to the side off the door and looked behind as to make sure nothing else was coming through. Clear, best use this moment to fix my arm. Moving a little more to the side as to keep his back to the wall and as so he would not be surprised by anyone else walking in Deadman removed his helm letting his Hair be seen. The Ghastly white color made along side his ever present stright face. Taking the Caliber he placed the handle into his mouth and bit down, bracing himself for what he was about to do. Taking hold if his left arm Dead quickly pulled his arm forwards then shoved it back with a stomic turning cracking sound as his arm popped back into place. Spitting out the broken blade he grimes-ed and groned. Once the pain nulled abit he moved his arm around testing it. Once he was happy that it was back in working order the Warden placed his helm back on and picked up his helm. Looking around Deadman sighed as he spoke. "What the..."

Let's figure this out

As I was walking into the room, I notice a weird looking character and I walked into the room it just left. My condition was still terrible and I am nearly dead. I started to look around the room and saw a key on the other side but I was in no condition to get across. I went to the corner near the door and sat down, looking as everyone else was entering the room but for some reason, I could sense something from the swarm. I got back up and looked in the chasm but there was no swarm enemies in there or that could be corrupt either, as I walked back to the corner, the sense got much stronger and I really was confused. What is going on?
