For now only the fifth time in his life he felt truly alive. "Your right Nacho", he muttered, "This feels way better then pewter. I just wished that it lasted forever... and came with less wind and rain." Quelkin stops as he nears a large tree with big roots. He sees the form a person laying down and another one siting up among the roots. "Storms, how are they sleeping in this weather?" he asks Nacho. "Maybe their pretending to sleep so that someone comes in and tries to kill them. But when they get close they'll pull out a pistol... and then your gone", Nacho said. "I really doubt she has a pistol" Quelkin replied. But he proceeded forward with caution. His instincts from years on the streets kicked in as he crawled over toward the tree. He thought he saw a pack and some kind of red cloth lying between the two people. "You now", Nacho remarked, "you probably lost your element of surprise when you decided to suck in stormlight and are now glowing during a dark storm." "You're probably right", Quelkin responds, "Better get this done before they notice me". Quelkin stands up and hefts his quarterstaff and starts to run the remaining distance between him and the two figures. @Spark of Hope @The Bookwyrm Quote For future reference, mentioning people doesn’t work in quote boxes.

Dragonheir he/him Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Ok. Time for some retroactive posting! Imminently after showing up in the area, Tondon pats himself down for iron. "Rust rust rust rust rust! What am I doing?! Why did I think this is a good idea?" He's dizzy from lack of iron sight, and goes into the jungle to try to find a loot box. I don't know if he finds one or not. @Edema Rue (who I think is currently on) & other GMs If he finds any iron or duralumin, he'll be doing better, but regardless, he needs a place to hide and sleep. If he can find duralumin, he'll be storing it to try to get an alliance by tapping in the future. (Again, I don't know if he's successful in finding a hiding spot) I don't know how much warning there is for the highstorm, but he'll take cover. If he can't find it, I'd say he's almost certainly dead, unless he has enough iron for dodging and 360* vision to escape those boulders. Well, it'd be nice if a GM could tell me how I'm doing. Then I'll make another, present time post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Honorable One he/him Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Konrad saw the storm fast approaching. I wonder, he thought. "Hey, Ede, d'ya think that's a highstorm?" he asked. "I could really do with some Stormlight." Yes, Konrad, I believe that storm is highly Invested. "Okay, great, I'm going there." Konrad set off towards the nearby highstorm. Before long, the stormwall was just a little ways off. When it was one hundred feet away, Konrad started moving backwards and inhaled sharply. The stormlight filled his body, leaving him invigorated. Be careful, master! Konrad smiled, and fell up through the air with the strength of a full lashing. Once he had cleared the trees, Konrad started flying back towards the center of the arena, towards the cornucopia, being careful to not get too far ahead of the storm that he would lose his Stormlight and fall, but not staying too close that he was hit by debris. One time, the stormwall did draw near and he was hit by a log, but Konrad recovered before hitting the ground and continued towards the cornucopia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 2 minutes ago, Edema Rue said: He finds no supplies, but he can hide in the jungle. Tondon shelters in a small hollow facing the opposite side of the storm. He keeps saying Scadrial curses under his breath. "Rust! What is going on?!" It's hot enough that he's quite thirsty. Not knowing anything about highstorms, he tries to drink the stormwater. He gags on the metallic taste, then his eyes widen. "Thank the Survivor! Finally... Metal!" Quote Maybe a little meta-gamy, but he would need water, and could probably end up doing this. The cremwater is noticeably metallic, so it might have iron. If it does, Tondon drinks it, then burns iron to pull the metal to himself, trying to collect as much as possible. He sits up straighter and feels more sure of himself. If it has duralumin in it, he'll take his jumpsuit and try to strain the metal out to carry around. He'll also be kinda confused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
