BlueWildRye he/him Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 "Dryad, Druid, whatever," Wyldri shrugged as well. "There is one nearby, I can feel it. That's another elemental thing, I guess. You can kinda sense other ones. It's some ways south from here, and is a very, very powerful Alma user. I don't think any normal Druid would be able to grow an entire jungle within a couple of days." @Scars of Hathsin @RoyalBeeMage Quote @J.

BlueWildRye he/him Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 "I guess so. I'm going to go to sleep. Wake me up if you need anything." Wyldri walked over to an unoccupied corner of the campsite and laid down on the ground, then hesitated and levitated a foot in the air. She wasn't going to sleep where a snake or spider might bite her. There were too many stories of travelers in the jungle being found months later, bones picked clean. Although Wyldri didn't have bones, so she wasn't sure how that could be a danger to her. Wrapping her cloak around herself like a blanket, she entered a trance-like state that was the elemental counterpart of sleeping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, typically people hire me as a scout, y'know, with all the (sort of) flying stuff. Sorry I was so late!" "Wind mastery... well... other Alma users can connect, divide, or manipulate air, but only an air elemental, a djinn like myself, can master it." Wyldri concentrated, then gathered the nearby air at her feet and launched herself ten feet into the air. "I can't go much higher than this, but it is a useful ability. Did you know that the first person to accurately map the world, before the Haki of course, was a djinn? Just a fact." "Oh nice! I've never heard of any of this stuff before . . ." 17 hours ago, Scars of Hathsin said: "Yes, I imagine flight practically lets people do things like that" Arranis says glancing around.

The jungle sits around you like a spiritual buffer, isolating you with it's branches. It feels somewhat suffocating, but that feeling isn't difficult to ignore. There is dryad, but it isn't extremely close. 2 minutes ago, BlueWildRye said: "I guess so. I'm going to go to sleep. Wake me up if you need anything."

Kurtis settled back down too, falling asleep with the efficiency of a soldier. He started snoring again soon after. Quote Aaaah I don't want to be annoying but once again, please remember: a- Kurtis is a Haki official, and is absolutely not trustworthy with your magical secrets. I've let you off easy as to his reactions to things so far because he's kind of dumb, and fairly uninformed. Just remember that a possible conflict with Kurtis is a part of the dynamic here. b-As the GM, I do have things planned out for the plot/world-building. Obviously, this is a collaborative RP so I want everyone to be involved and have fun, but try not to have your characters assume things about the plot/immediate surroundings. It just starts to get a little god-mody and makes things a little more difficult for me to keep things consistent and interesting. If you want to add to the plot with your own ideas pm me! I'd be happy to add things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Wyldri is overly trusting and does tend to let a lot of things slip, and it's very hard for her to keep secrets. I guess it's a flaw on her part that she's so open with how her magic works. A conflict with Kurtis does seem quite likely to me as well, although I don't think Wyldri would realize what was going on for some time. Do you think we should skip through the night or keep going? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who've camped outside before notice that the jungle is far too silent. No late night birds or other animal noises. No wind. As the sun rises, a thick fog settles over the area. Twisted vines and branches make shadows in the white void. It feels more like being inside the belly of some massive beast then a forest. Edited June 3 by J.

BlueWildRye he/him Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Wyldri sat up warily, hand going to her bow. "I don't like this," she said, "not enough air." She tried to look through the thick fog, stepping towards the middle of the campsite. It was more open there than by the trees, but it still felt suffocating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clears the foliage surrounding and in the clearing with around a 40 foot radius. The jungle beyond looks thicker then the day before. The dissipated fog starts to seep back into their camp after a few minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWildRye he/him Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 (edited) Coincidentally, that is also the direction that Druid is. It was difficult to hear it, especially now that the fog rolled in, it was almost impossible to notice. "Do you think I should scout ahead?" Wyldri asked, pushing herself a few feet into the air with more effort than it should usually take. Edited June 3 by BlueWildRye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
