"I mean, we should probably..." Mark drew a finger across his neck. They can't see this weakness within me. They cannot know what I did. "Or just run, because he might injure us." "Now isn't that a thought?" Astra spun towards the bound Quelkin as if she hadn't yet noticed him. She knelt down, looking into Quelkin's eyes. "Tondon," she called out without looking back, "Who is this fellow?" @Dragonheir @LightRinger @The Stormfather @Unintelligenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else was there to say? “No… don’t. You helped, ultimately.” She sighed. ”But… but why didn’t you just let it kill me?” 15 hours ago, Edema Rue said: Corin’s lips twitched, and suddenly he was back just how he had been. “I’ll count on it.” He took a long breath, and as he inhaled Roy felt his ability to control sand leaving him, as if it were a tangible thing. The gemstone on the counter cracked, and a spren floated out. “All yours.” Quote Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Yeah, that makes sense. At least for me, the reaction seemed to be a grudge against Willshapers, but I guess I was misinterpreting the dialogue. 7 hours ago, RoyalBeeMage said: As he walked, he noticed a group of people gathered a short distance away, their figures huddled together against the biting wind. Curiosity piqued, Roy decided to investigate. He adjusted his coat, pulling it tighter around himself, and made his way toward them. Roy approached cautiously, not wanting to startle them. "Hey," he called out, his voice carrying over the wind. "What's going on here?" As Roy begins his approach, one of the figures summons and brandishes a shardblade. After a small amount of inaudible discussion, the figure sweeps it twice through the tree that the group is standing next to, then drops the shardblade, causing it to dissipate. The tree tumbles over, and a fifth figure falls out of it. Quote Here’s an ok description of what’s happened so far. The group is now frozen in time waiting for @Unintelligenius (whose character was in the tree and throwing things at us) to post. I don’t know how well having an entire interaction while the tree is falling will work, but Roy can definitely be there while the fight is starting. 6 hours ago, Lotus Blossom said: "Now isn't that a thought?"

Quote We still don’t know what happened to him, but I’ll answer Astra’s question anyway. “He’s someone I fought with earlier. He’d said he was a Thug, then did the glowy thing and ran away.” London holds up a handful of dun spheres. “That Corin guy gave me these, and this,” he holds up a large heliodor gemstone with metal around it, “and somehow expected me to be able to get the glow from one to the other and detect people. Speaking of detecting people, look over there. There’s another tribute!” (It’s Roy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I mean no harm," he called out, his voice steady despite the tension in the air. The sound of the blade slicing through wood was barely audible over the howling wind, but the effect was immediate and dramatic. The tree groaned, then toppled over with a loud crash, sending snow flying in all directions. As it fell, a fifth figure tumbled out of the branches, hitting the ground with a thud. Roy's eyes widened in surprise as he approached slowly, his curiosity piqued even further. "What’s going on here?" he asked, keeping his voice calm.

I'm not losing who I am, what I stand for, just because of the situation they've placed me in." Tinker stood there for a moment, making sure she was okay. Then he started rummaging in the camping supplies to see if there was any medical supplies. He found the small bandage. "Uh...I guess just put this on your cheek, then. I wish we had something for infection, but...this'll have to do." He handed her the small bandage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We could use Verdant like we did for the last box, or maybe Zephyr. I just have to find somewhere to put it..." Quote I'm waiting for Edema to tell us what it's made of. Also, does it have any cracks where different parts of it come together, like the last one did, that Tinker could slide some spores in? (Also, Spark, Zephyr are the blue spores that explode in a burst of air when they touch water.
