"Well then, gather around gather around, this is a wonderous day, the day when a new set of adventurers set out on the Crystal Caravan." The mayor of Tipa, Roland, Was standing infront of the giant crystal in the town, "As we all know the Crystal is what protects our land from the deadly miasma, and we need the myrrh collected by the caravan to keep the crystal repelling the miasma." The old man leaned on the stone pedisatal, "Well you are probably tired of this old coot talking," He chuckled, "You should all finish your preperations and say goodbye to your families, you all have a long trip ahead of you."



Rex nodded, then turned his back from the mayor and let out a sigh, I need to get out of here. Before he could even take a step, he was jumped by his little siblings and taken to the ground. "Hey, Hey! Whats going on! get off! I need that for adventuring! get off!" After a rather strenuous effort of Rex, he managed to kick his brother off, and his sister jumed off shortly after. "Jeeze you guys, Is that how you say goodbye to your big brother?" He brushed the dirt off of his clothes and armor, then gave them "the look".

"We wont be able to play with you for a while, and dad says 'I shouldn't smack Tina with sticks'." Rex's brother, Pit, made a childish attempt to immitate their father, which lead to Tina, their sister, to burst out laughing.

Rex let out another sigh, "No, you shouldn't just smack people with sticks, its not polite, and adventurers save people, not randomly attack them, " He put his face in the palm of his hand, "Speaking of Dad, Where is the old fool? Busy with the shop even on the day his oldest son leaves?" He gave a forced chuckle.

"Yup." Tina jumped up and down restlessly.

"Jeeze, maybe I should just not write him while I'm gone, that will show him for not seeing me off." Rex shoved his nose in the air then laughed, "Well fooling around aside, You guys better be good while I'm gone, I'll write you, and you better write back." He stuck his tongue out at them then walked away, This is it, the Crystal Caravan awaits. He walked up to the caravan, which had just finished being loaded, "Looks like we can go as soon as everyone is ready then..." He loaded his sheild into the wagon, then took a seat as he waited.

"You take care of yourself while I'm gone, alright? If anyone gives you lip, remember whose little sister you are and those move I taught ya." Baron smiled at Chloe, his little sister. She grinned and nodded, "Don't you worry, I'm tough like mom!" Baron patted the little girl on the head, "Atta girl." He smiled fondly at his little sister then hoisted his pack of belonings over his shoulder and rested his free hand on the hilt of his sword at his hip. "Other members should be showing up pretty soon, you should head back to the house." He said as he leaned against the caravan right as a Clavat boy tossed his shield into the back. "See?" He grinned. "Alright, see ya! Make sure to write or else I'll never forgive you!" Chloe said to Baron as she turned to leave, "And, don't forget to come back." She said a little quieter then ran down the road back to their house.

Baron watched her run until she was out of sight then sighed and turned to greet the boy that had sat down to wait for others to show up. He walked over to him and held out his hand for a greeting, "Names Baron, and you are...?"

Rex turned to greet his fellow Clavat, "The name is Rex, A pleasure to meet you. Although I do find it odd we don't know each other," Rex scratched his head, "I know I lived in this town my whole life, and this town isn't exactly 'big'" Sure I was usually busy on a childish adventures, but they all took place in town or really close to town, Makes me seem like a fool for not knowing his name. "My Father is the Merchant, If that sheds any light on who I am." He laughed.

"Fredrika! Are you ready?" Chance's mom called. She was getting ready to head out on her first trip with the Crystal Caravan to protect the town and had just finished packing.
"Yes, Mom! Jeez! And I told you to call me Chance like my friends! Ugh!" Chance finished brushing her hair and grabbed the camera on her desk before running downstairs. "I'm going now!" she called as grabbed her bag and staff. "Bye!"
Her mom rushed out from the back of the house and threw her arms around Chance. "Oh! My baby is going out into the world all by herself! Write me everyday!"
"She'll hardly be alone," Chance's father said, emerging from his study. "There are other capable adventurers accompanying her. And I know you'll do just fine out here, Chance." He gave her a loving smile. "Be sure and take lots of pictures for us."
"I will, Daddy," she said and managed to escape her mom's choker hold to kiss him on the cheek. "Bye Mom, bye Daddy!" She gave a quick wave and ran out of the house.
She saw there were already two other people at the wagon ahead of her. "Shotgun!" she cried and jumped up next to the one already seated, pushing past the other one.She snapped a picture of his face. "You with the caravan too? I'm Fredrika Okazja. Nice to meet ya." She flashed him a friendly smile and winked. "But my friends call me Chance." She turned to the other one and smiled at him and gave a small wave.

Baron laughed, "It seems we were both too busy to meet each other." He smiled at Chance and waved back, "I'm Baron." Then he turned back to Rex, "I run the local forge. I took over the town's smithing business in place of my late father. Currently, I have a few friends looking over the business while I'm gone." He smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet both of you."

Great, kids.
"Hey. I am Haruman Thundus." The six foot giant said from the back of the caravan. Standing with a shortsword strapped to his huge back almost looked comical ; the man could carry a sword ten times larger. Haruman, standing in a suit of steel gleeming with blood crimson and silver, with specks of dried red, recognisable only as blood everywhere but his sword, which glittered in the sun. A warrior's sword is always clean was an expression that stuck to his mind.
From the look of his face, you could tell the brute was a veteran in combat. A small scar down his eye remains a reminder of the fact that being slow in combat is almost the same as dying, and a large gash shamelessly protrudes through his skin reminds all the threat of greedy rogues.
"I seem to be the one with the most experience here, from what I can see, so if there are no complaints, I will lug about the myrrh."

(There are no giants in FF: CC . . . At least no friendly ones. . .Another reason why you should've checked the sign-up first...)

Nayiana emerged from behind a few crates on the caravan, yawning mightly. "We're going alredy?" She yawned again. "The old coot is done talking then? Good. Let's get this thing moving..." She pushed her cloak away from her body, sending it to her back, she had apparently been using it as a sleeping bag. She looked at everyone that had just arrived, two clavats and another selkie like herself. (Ignoring Haruman since he didn't sign up.) "Great, guess we have an even number of holes and sticks in here, i was worried i'd end up in a sausage fest party." She stretched her arms high, relaxing after a low "click". She grabbed the myrrh chalice from behind the boxes and set it on front of them. "Catch." She threw it in the boys direction.

(Let's include him for now. But devex3, you need to post a sign up sheet in the sign up topic that can be found in the RP Sign-Up, Profiles, and Discussion area if you want to continue participating in the RP. As for the giant thing, probably not feasible unless Omnial okay's it.)

Chance laughed Nayiana. "How vulgar!" she cried. "I have a name, y'know. I'm not just a hole." She snatched the chalice out of the air and jumped off the wagon. "I still have dibs on this seat so don't even think about taking it," she said to Baron. She handed the chalice to Haruman. "If you wanna carry this thing, be my guest. Less work for me." She took a step back and snapped a picture of him holding the chalice. "The name's Fredrika Okazja. But my friends call me Chance. Nice to meet you."

(Fine...>.>)

Nayiana put her hand in front of her mouth and giggled slightly. "Fair enough, Chance." She made a slight, clumsy bow with her short skirt. "And i'm Nayiana Strongbow...Although...I bet you alredy knew me by now..." She glanced around all of the other caravaneers. "Although i don't think i've ever used any of you for any of my tricks or were victims of them, so sorry if i don't remember your faces." She crossed her arms and looked ahead, out into the road, she then quickly turned back to the others. "Oh oh! Can we go to that HUGE monster manor? When my father went there he sent me the most marvelous pearl necklace ever! I probably still have it around here somewhere..." She started going through her bag, apparently, the bag she was supposed to be using to carry food and clothes was instead carrying several trinkets like earrings, necklaces and tiaras. She took out a long pearl necklace, in fact, it was too long for a human neck, suggesting it was probably originally made to be used by monsters. She sticked it out towards the others, her violet eyes shining back at it. "Isn't it gorgeous!?"

(I have no problem with devex3's character as long as he writes a sign up for it, he better have a good bio as to why he can speak and why he is helping us though.)

The flash from the camera had stunned Rex, and left his vision temporarily impaired. REx fell back slightly rubbed his eyes, "A pleasure to meet you beautiful lady who blinds men." He chuckled, "Chance you said your name was?" Rex held his hand out to shake. "And by the other voice we have a large fellow joining us to carry the chalice? Thats good, I would hate to carry it around all day." (I truely did loath that when playing with friends...) He rubbed his eyes one more time, noticed the chalice being thrown, gladly it was caught by Chance. Holes and sticks? He was puzzled, it just wasn't clicking in his mind what Nayiana meant. He stopped trying to figuire it out when She made mention of Monster Manor, "Well that all depends on what the elements of the maisma streams are like this year," He pulled out an old and dusty map, "Lets see...This one should be fire...that one should be...can we get that?...hmmm..." Rex was trying to figuire the map out, but to no avail, if only he had payed more attention when the mayor spoke about these things, "I have no clue..." He finally gave up.

Rex looked at Nayiana's necklace "I am sure we are bound to run into pleanty of treasure on our journey," He shrugged, not seeing what was particualarly special about pearls, Gold is better. "Shall we be on our way then if we are all present?" Rex jumped down, and stretched his arm, "Maybe we should start at that River Belle Path, just to get a feel for what we are doing." He shrugged, his suggestion wasn't based on monsters, treasure, or myrrh, but on the huge waterfall they would get to see on the way to the tree.

(OoC: Rex has a thing for water. just so you are all aware )

(I would be a douche if people made me carry it. "Here Satou, you carry it." "K. * goes the other way*" "Oh God, the miasma burns! Oh God!" or I would teleport us out at the element change things.)

Chance hopped back onto the wagon and shook Rex's hand. "Pleased to meet ya," she said then grabbed the map. "Let's see...I have heard that River Belle Path is a good place for beginners. The miasma stream connecting the Tipa Peninsula to the Iron Mine Downs is water this year. And then the one to Vale of Alfitaria is earth so we won't be able to reach Moschet Manor this year it seems like.(Taking that from year one of the actual game.) I'm set to go to River Belle if everyone else is."

((Lol, how come everyone posts when I'm not here?! xD))
Baron grunted a greeting to the two newcomers. He unfolded his traveling cloak and put it on. "Enough talking, we only have a year to collect enough myrrh to save this place. I don't mean to be impatient but," he looked up at the sky, "It's getting late and the clouds look like a storm is on the way." It was funny he said this because it was a clear sky. But without another word he started to walk ahead of the caravan. "To River Belle!"

"Well, seems like the majority say we go to River Belle first, YES YES YES YES! Rex wore a large smile, and gave the papaopamus a little smack to get it to start walking, "Baron, while I do enjoy your enthusiasm, I advise you stick near to the caravan, we don't need you to choke on the Miasma do we?" He grinned, "Also its still a nice day out, we should at least be able to make it road junction before the evening."

(OOC : Why he can speak? What do you mean? Also, I use giant metaphorically, as he is supposed to be tall, not actually picking up houses and stuff XP. Finally, I may be missing a few facts, as I have only played rings of fate to completion.)

"We going then?" Haruman said impatiently. The quicker they were there and back, he thought, the less chance of things going wrong. He might even... but that was unlikely.

(OOC:You mean his a Yuke then? Oh, because when you said giant i thought of it like, giant the monster, you know? "ME CRUSH!" Anyways...)

Nayiana crossed her arms and stuffed the pearl necklace back in her bag. "Fine..." She looked around as the caravan started moving. After a moment of sitting around in the caravan, she got bored. She took a deep breath and looked up into the sky, apparently to remember something. She slowly started singing...

Dreaming of the stars on high
That speak to me in secret sighs
Drifting on a breeze only I can feel and hear

She started tapping at one of the caravan's crates with her fingers, while still singing.

Could it be the sacred wind
It's calling me to now begin
To walk into the dark carrying the light of tomorrow

Beating are the wings up high
Beyond the earth, beyond the sky
Come now, don't hesitate
Don't look back, we've got to go now

Don't fear
You'll be safe from now on
Morning sky watching over the world

Deep inside so silent
Here my heart must beat
Deep inside of me
Memories flickering and shimmering on endlessly

She took out a flute from her cloak, it was made of light wood and had golden details embroided into it, making the design of an eagle all the way to the tip, that was shaped like it's beak, she played it for a moment and then continued singing.

Keeping close to the path
Morning sky watching over the world

Moving over endless mountains oh so high
Walking to the light
Your heart will see the path and you will find the way
Just wait and see

Moving over endless sky oh so high
Tomorrow will follow
When above, your promise is today
Just wait and see

(OOC: Just decided i'd get everyone in the mood by causing a bit of nostalgia...Here's the link to the song. )

Thundus listens contentedly. A great old fashioned song. Reminds me of Craig.
(OOC : Correct me if I'm wrong ; remember, only played rings of fate).
Haruman pulls on the reigns of the caravan, and wills it forwards. Slowly it moves into life.

Don't fear
You'll be safe from now on
Morning sky watching over the world

Deep inside so silent
Here my heart must beat
Deep inside of me
Memories flickering and shimmering on endlessly


Describes me perfectly

"Hah!" Haruman grunts. The caravan starts moving faster. When they start moving at a tolerable pace, Thundus starts to slowly sing to himself, after being infected by the nostalgia of Naiyana.

When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh


OOC : How about a round of singing?

"Didn't know we had two talented singers in the group," Chance said when they were done. "Especially you Haruman, you didn't strike me as the singing type. I guess looks can be deceiving." She laughed. "You do a duet at the festival when we get back." She held up her camera and smiled. "I'll be sure to take lots of pictures." She faced around the front again and sighed. "So, uh," she began when she couldn't take the silence anymore. "Anyone wanna play a word game? Or maybe I Spy? Looks like we still got a bit of time before we get there."

Baron smiled and closed his eyes as he walked beside the giant ox like creature that pulled their caravan. Nayiana's voice reminded him of his sister's singing. He decided to join in as well.

Keeping close to the path
Morning sky watching over the world

Moving over endless mountains oh so high
Walking to the light
Your heart will see the path and you will find the way
Just wait and see

Moving over endless sky oh so high
Tomorrow will follow
When above, your promise is today
Just wait and see

He matched Nayiana's voice almost perfectly as he sung the alto of the song for the last few verses.

"We got, about... Three hours? Anyone got some fighting history? We are going to need it.". Haruman suggested. we will need some skilled warriors. Cannot do it all myself. OOC : ignore my suggestion why don't you... Grrrrrrr! XD

Rex just continued to walk and listened to the others sing, Music will make our travels alot easier...I think..."We are going to need fighting history to fight?" Rex chuckled, "You are a strange Yuke Haruman." He continued to walk beside the wagon, "I have slain many a toad...Also the moogles hated me taking practice with their pom poms, that made for a colorful year of practice, all but one moogle left our town after that," he laughed triumphantly.

"That's horrible!" Chance said and laughed when Rex said he was bullying the Moogles. "You're such a horrible person, Rex!" She liked all the people here. She was worried she wouldn't fit in with the group. "Let's see...fighting experience...." She put her finger on her chin and swayed from side to side as she thought. "I got none!" she said with a smile. "I use healing arts though, which is why Daddy said I should sign up. Oh, my parents are alchemists, you may have heard of them. They made this camera." She held it up for them all to see. "What about the rest of you?"

Nayiana crossed her arms. "Well..." She looked out, shriveling upon thinking of moogles. "Can we not talk about moogles? Please?" She took out her bow, that was straped to the back of her waist. "I know some archery. My father teached it to me when i was younger. He was part of the Crystal Caravan, as well. I also ended up learning how to use knives..." She giggled. "Mostly just for pickpocketing though, i never used them to actually hurt someone." She shrugged.

She turned to Haruman. "I'm not sure you've ever had the chance to meet him. Ever heard of Rayian Racht? Selkie. Blue, short hair. Goatee. Eagle tatoo on his left cheek." She stopped for a moment, trying to remember what she could from her father. "Also had temper problems..." She shook her head and looked away while muttering. "Oh you know what, nevermind." She looked out back into the road. "My mother is the bartender, in case you didn't know."

Great. One toad-killer and two newbies to lag with. "Naiyana, did you say? I heard the name, but cannot remember them exactly. I am not from around here really. I have a bit under a decade of feild experience, and been practicing magic since I was 14. My last caravan.... fell into difficulties. We split up, and now I am trying to put myself back into the business.

"If it helps," Baron turned to Haruman and said, "I've been practicing swordplay since I was five. Also, although they may be new to fighting, on the battlefield you either learn fast, or you die. So," Baron looked over his shoulder and said to the rest of the group, "Better learn fast." He grinned.

Rex laughed, "If I die I'm still tagging along, I hope you all know that." They kept walking, till in the slight distance, Rex noticed something, upon getting closer, it was more like someone.

"Hale Caravaners! You must be the new caravan from Tipa correct?" A small man clad in armor was addressing the group.

"What on earth is that?!" Rex jumped back and held his weapon tightly.

(Ooc:Rex has never realy seen a Lilty before, We are meeting Sol Racht. And just so you all know, when we are traveling I will expect random events like in the game, anyone can make one during a dull travel moment.)

"Friend or foe?" Said thundus, as he pulled his sword.

Nayiana quickly dashed forward and put herself between the two groups. She looked at her comrades, clearly angry. "What!? You two have never seen a lilty before or something?" She turned to Sol Racht, kneeling over to his height and gently tapping his helmet. "Sorry about that, yeah, that would be us, and you're the caravan from Alfitaria, correct?" Sol Ract blushed behind the helmet, he fixed it in place. "Y-Yes. Sorry, if i have startled you." He said, while bowing to Rex and Haruman. "We were heading to River Belle path right now, it would be the last myrrh drop that we'd need." He pointed with his spear towards his chalice, standing beside the caravan, it was almost completely full.

Nayiana frowned. "We were heading there too...Our chalice is empty though..." Sol Racht nodded. "Well, i guess it'll be a competition then." He laughed. Nayiana shook her head and then approached Sol Racht. "Say...I'm pretty sure a great and strong lilty warrior like yourself could go and search a bit longer for another tree couldn't you?" Sol Ract looked down. "Well..." Nayiana joined her hands and tilted her head towards him. "Pleeeaaase? We haven't gotten even a single drop of myrrh yet, and the year has barely started...You can go search for somewhere else, couldn't you? It wouldn't be that hard to find...Pleaaase, do this favor for me...?" Nayiana winked a few times towards Sol Racht. He stood silent for a moment and then turned around to his caravan. "Men! Attention! We are moving out to find another spot!" The other soldiers started mumbling to each other.

"They need it more than we do, now move!" All of the soldiers started getting inside the caravan and soon after, were departing. As the caravan left, Nayiana waved a goodbye to Sol Racht, who replied with the exact same gesture. The other soldiers shook their heads in disapproval. Nayiana turned to her comrades. "So, according to Sol Racht, River Belle Path is just a few miles away through that path." She said, pointing out. "Onwards!" She said, happily.

Baron laughed, "What a weak minded Lilty." He patted the papaopamus to his right, "Come on, girl lets get moving again." The large oxen-like animal made a deep moaning sound then moved forward, pulling the caravan with it. "Good thinking though, Nayiana." He smiled at her and continued to walk with the papaopamus.

"I am not one for pleasantries. The quicker we move to River Belle, the quicker we can fill this thing up.". "Just be glad it has only been friends so far, and not enemies ; monsters or otherwise.

"Well, in my opinion, fighting can turn out to be just as easy as persuasion. It all just depends on the situation. But as you said," Baron glanced at their empty chalice, "Whatever is faster, works." He yawned then folded his traveling cloak around his body, his steel plate on his left shoulder protruded a bit through the brown, rugged cloth. "Yep, whatever gets us done the fastest is fine by me." Baron said staring up at the sky. They had just begun their quest to bring home a full chalice of myrrh to protect the village of Tipa from the never ending miasma and had already met another caravan. Seems like this little adventure I've gotten myself into will prove to be quite eventful. Baron thought to himself, he also wondered how many villages out there were being plagued by the miasma as well as how many villages had fallen. Baron knew that there were others out there just like Tipa, but he had no idea as to where due to the fact of the isolating effect of the miasma that surrounded the village. He shrugged and continued on his way after picking up a stick from the ground and letting the end of the stick drag in the dirt, leaving a small trail on the dusty road behind him.

(OOC: If no one has any objections, i'll be skipping us to Riverbelle.)

Nayiana walked to the front of the caravan and looked at the River Belle Path ahead, she started preparing her bow and and pulled her hood over her head. She looked down at the road again. "They say that wicked creatures prowl the road along this beatiful riverbank, but nobody has ever seen one. I once asked a man why. He simply replied. "Because anyone who happens upon is promptly eaten!" But...It is long since anyone met such a fate. For nowadays, people take another route, far away from the spooky old road. Only we walk the old way now...Travellers...In crystal caravans..." The papaopamus stopped, as if refusing to go any further. Nayiana jumped out of the caravan and scouted around, aiming her bow. She looked back at Haruman. "Hey old man, try to keep up. We need the chalice close."

((Lol, I'm fine with it. Time skips are a vital part of keeping an rp going.))

Baron looked ahead. "So beautiful, and yet...I feel an ominous presence here. I don't think I need to state the obvious but, " Baron turned around to face the caravan after comforting the papaopamus with a pat on the side of it's head. "We should proceed with caution, but as quickly as possible." His lips curled up into a faint smile, "Like I said, it's not as if I needed to tell you guys...well, except for Rex." Baron glanced at his fellow Clavat. "On your toes boy!" He shouted at Rex then tossed the stick that he had been carrying lightly at him.

Rex was hit by the stick, "Hey! I am just as capable as everyone else!" He grabbed his sheild and attached it to his arm, "Well, did anyone else manage to get information on this place? other then words saying we might get eaten?" He walked forward a bit and took a quick look down one path, then turned his head to see the other, "I heard that this place has some nice treasure, and it has goblins, more goblins and a few mu." Rex was proud of what he knew, what he wasn't too proud of was that he learned it after a lecture from Roland. "Speaking of goblins..." Rex was slowly walking up to a goblin, which seemed to almost be dancing in place, "SUPRISE!" He brought his sword down on it, and quickly finished it with a quick combo, "Easy as pie." He picked up a fish, "Yummy?" he held it with slight disgust, then turned his head to look at the river, Beautiful...he stood still, like a fool.

Nayiana took aim and fired. The arrow went right past Rex, nearly hitting him, and became lodged into an attacking goblin's chest. The goblin looked up at Nayiana and was only able to make a low choking sound as it fell to the ground. She approached Rex. "Right...Try to keep your attention on the monsters, not the water, okay?" She tilted her head to the side and smiled, she then continued to move onwards while taking a bite of the raw fish she had just stolen from Rex'es hands. She gulped down a piece of it and smiled slightly, showing her canines, that were a lot bigger than clavat's, mostly because of the Selkie's wild background. She turned to the others. "Oh, i'm sorry, anyone else wanted a bite?" She shook the half-eaten fish towards them.

Baron walked past Nayiana and Rex. "I'll pass." He said rather bluntly and waited at the edge of the chalice's miasma purification bubble line. Baron had removed his traveling cloak before they had entered the River Belle Pass and had left it in the caravan. The metal plate on his left shoulder sparkled slightly due to water droplets landing on it from a distant waterfall, causing the sun to be reflected in them. Baron took no battle ready stance, in fact, he seemed rather at ease. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying the evening sun. Time to get to work. He thought.

"So, this is it, huh?" Chance said and jumped off the wagon with the others. "Our first stop. This'll be no problem. Right?" She sounded as if she was trying to reassure herself. She looked around. "This place sure is pretty though. Hope we don't run into much trouble. You seem pretty knowledgeable, Rex. I don't know anything about this place." The group found some goblins and dispatched them easily. "Wow, you guys are strong. I guess I'll leave the fighting to you then," she said with a laugh. "I'll stick with support." Nayiana offered the rest of the group a half-eaten fish. "You can go ahead and finish that one. I'm sure we'll find more food soon enough."

"Hah!" grunted Haruman, as he almost flew into a thick of goblins grouped almost twenty metres away, amassing numbers. After a few slashes with his sword, he crushed a magicite in his hand. Fire flew from his arm, burning all nearby goblins. After searching their pockets, he found a stick of bread, on top of some other, useless possessions.

"OK, shall we continue, or shall we rest for a bit?" Haruman said. Damn Chalice, going to slow me down at this rate.

Rex never saw it coming, the snatching of his fish that is, I was going to send that home though... He made a small pouting face, then snapped out of it when he looked back at the water, which then reminded him of having a stick thrown at him, so he snapped out of that quickly too.

"Why would we slow down? unless you are having troubles keeping up Mr.Vetran." Rex Smirked, as he walked over the bodies of the goblins Haruman had defeated, and as he was doing that, a strange stone happened to catch his eye, it was shapped like a cresent moon, "Uhm...does anyone know what this is for?" Rex picked it up and held it high.

"Oh-hoh! Lets go then, and try to keep up." Haruman said, with a wide grin. "Unless anyone has got some ideas on what that is, shall we just stick it in the caravan and keep moving? It looks oddly familiar though..."

OOC : Has anyone seen the film Predators and was it good?

(OOC: Sorry, never seen it.)

Nayiana had been examing a locked gate when Rex mentioned the stone. She looked to her side and noticed that besides the gate was a pedestal with a slot very similar to the stone Rex had just found. Nayiana rushed up to him and snatched it out of Rex'es hands, again. She walked up to the pedestal and shoved the stone down the slot, as the stone slowly slid into place a loud sound of gears moving was heard. Within moments, the door had opened and another way was opened. Nayiana turned to face the group. "Two birds with one stone." While amusing herself with what she just said, she didn't even seen the giant goblin approaching her from the gate that she had just opened, she turned around just in time to see the Goblin raising his sword against her, she shrieked.

The goblin suddenly lurched backwards, it's raised arm falling to the ground with a low thump. The goblin looked down at it's stump of an arm and shrieked, which was suddenly cut off and replaced with a disgusting gurgling sound in it's throat. Baron stood up from a crouched position in front of the now dead goblin and whipped his sword to the side, splattering fresh blood onto the ground. Baron looked at Nayiana, "You alright?" He asked quietly, as he did so, he sheathed his sword again. "Can't have you guys getting hurt so early in this place."

((OOC: Posted my characters appearance in his profile if anyone wants to check it out.))

(I don't think anything interesting will happen until we go on further so...Time skip.)

Nayiana slowly opened her eyes once the whole thing was done. "Y-Yeah, i'm good." She said while recovering her composure. "I'm not good at melee combat so...I'll need someone to cover me, all right?" She muttered and then started moving ahead. The group soon arrived at a crossroad, a sign stood in the middle of it. Nayiana rushed over to it and put her finger on the signs as she read them. "Let's see...To the left it says..."Extreme Danger, kupo!" And to the right says..."Moogle house..."" A chill went through Nayiana's spine, judging that the monsters were getting closer as they went deeper into the roads, the "Extreme Danger" mentioned would probably be where the myrrh tree would be. She turned around to the rest of the group. "Right...We go to the left." (Lol) She pointed out towards the way that went inside a cave, following the stream. "And there's definetly nothing on the other way..." She smiled weakly, hoping no one would try to read the signs themselves.

OOC : Sorry if I am forceposting, but it is kinda to follow character's suit

"OK then. We go left." Said Haruman, bluntly.
"Why?" Came a response from the group. Whoever it was, Haruman did not pay attention.
"Because. We go left." Was the reply, and he started to walk in that direction, taking no heed to any signs or Naiyana.
"Come on then! Get a move on!"

"Yeah, I got your back." He said to Nayiana, patting her on the shoulder, "We all do." Baron watched as Haruman walked away in the direction that Nayiana had said for them to go, "Or at least...I hope we all do." He shrugged and glanced at the sign then smiled and walked down the left path. And yet another family of Moogles is saved from the terror of Rex the Tormentor. Baron laughed quietly to himself.

Rex walked up to the sign to glance at it, Moogle. He smirked, "I wanted to visit the little bugger," he started laughing then continued through the cave. He unded up on the other side shortly after, the first and only thing to catch Rex's attention was that of the giant and magestic waterfall. "Oh my..." He walked up to it, eyes gazing, "Its soo...words cannot..." It was as if everything he had trained for had been nothing, it was like the world wasn't in danger from monsters or Miasma, everything in his life was good. He was completly hypnotized by the waterfall. He stoof almost under it, eyes closed spinning with his arms sticking out, "It feels soo good!"

Suddenly from the top of the waterfall, the sound of a kicked rock was heard, and Rex felt a small thump on his head and looked up. He caught the faint glimpse of a cloak walking away, obviously trying to avoid being seen. Rex looked puzzled.

OOC : BamBamBib, do not force-post, or I will do this :

Just before the cloaked individual escaped, Haruman shocked him with a thunder magicite, knocking him to the bottom of the waterfall. He laid unconscious, as Haruman pulled him out.

If it is allowed from Ominal, say that you could post it in an OOC or you will probably be ignored.

(OoC: The matter has been dealt with, please ignore the post.)

(OOC: As i feared, the sudden increase in the number of RPers is causing the newest members not to read the rules...THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING.)

Nayiana stared at Rex for a moment before slapping him on the back of his head. "Will you snap out of it? Last time you got that much distracted with the water, a goblin nearly got you." She looked at the waterfall herself. "Although, i do gotta agree, it's rather pretty." She then noticed a shadow behind the waterfall, her eyes widened. She jumped on Rex, pushing him out of the way as a gigantic crab springed out of the waterfall, falling right where Nayiana and Rex were previously standing. She stood up and fixed her clothes into place, she looked back at Rex who she had just thrown against the ground. "Sorry about that, are you all right?" She then immediately turned to the giant crab and shot an arrow at it. The arrow shattered into two upon touching the crab's carapace, Nayiana frowned. "It's no good...It's armor is too strong, physical attacks won't work."

The crab spit a green slime against Nayiana, she fell to the ground, her movement being partially restricted by...Whatever was that the crab spit. She looked around at her clothes and sighed heavily. As she tried to get up, she noticed that her cloak had become glued to the ground below. "Great..." She unnatached the cloak and walked closer to the rest of the group, her bow and arrows in hand. "Whoever stares, dies." She said coldly.

(If you don't understand what's the matter by her losing her cloak, go check out her picture at the sign-up, you'll understand then.)

Haruman throws up a thunder magicite, and throws it onto the crab, then turns to naiyana.

"...Take this." Haruman said, as he took of his cloak, and offered it to Naiyana, while looking ... slightly below the face.
