She used it to provide stability as she used crystal growths as footholds. "Anyway, enough vaguely ominous talk.

She pulled herself onto the next set of handholds, testing to make sure they were secure. "My family had their souls rescued and shuttled to the afterlife after their deaths," Avi said after a moment. "I want to be able to do the same for others." She kept the details to herself, hoping that Il'anque didn't prod further. Edited December 19, 2022 by Ookla the Perpetual 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Just now, Ookla the Nerdy said: "Fair enough." said Il'anque. "I don't know. I've seen lots of injustice in my time, but Death is both fair and absolute. It's hard to think of a better master to serve, actually." Avi nodded, then realized that Il'anque couldn't see her. "Yeah," she agreed. She tried to use a jutting crystal as a handhold, but it crumbled and she temporarily lost her balance. She grunted as she pulled herself back to the safe handholds. After a moment, she managed to get to the top of that specific steep part. She gazed up the mountain. "About three fourths of the way to the third layer." She tried not to think about that nearly absolute vertical climb...she'd manage. She was saving some spells, if it came to it. Quote I don't know if we want to find another monster or wait till the third layer... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowed they/them Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Quote I think I’m going to officially leave this RP, at least for a bit, because I don’t understand very much of it and my character has done basically nothing since we started. It’s been fun, it’s just not for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quivil she/her Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) E;la scampered up the rocks, grinning, sword sheathed. Climbing was fun. Another fun thing was that the crystals of the Inverted Mountain seemed to have some sort of soul, and she could kind of tell how strong it was by the strength of the soul. The metal veins seemed to be just normal, soulless metal though. She reached the others, paused, and looked back, letting out a breath in excitement as her eyes sparkled with happiness. Turning to face them, she asked "What are you talking about?" Edited December 19, 2022 by Ookla the Implosion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best option, he knew, was to wait out the battle: his skills were of little to no use here; he’d just hold the others back and maybe get himself killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
