I Yield to None: A less than savory boss had come across a small problem

when building a house illegally along a disputed border with a neighbor.

While preparing the foundation for the house an old

I Yield to None: basement, looking to be that of a long forgotten and lost

church, was discovered. No problem right? Hah! All workers that have been

sent in to investigate have yet to return. Due to the situation,

I Yield to None: Nefarious Works was contacted to get rid of the problem.

The site is north of Navahla by about an hour. To prevent witnesses everyone

has been cleared and the entrance is visible. Overgrown grass hangs

I Yield to None: down into the dark entrance.

I Yield to None: ^v^ 5/26/2014 1:39:52 PM ^v^

I Yield to None: It is currently nighttime, because that is the best time to

go into a basement housing something nasty.

restless impulse: She had received the information in the midst of what had

been a rather relaxing bathing experience: but she had her priorities in

order and so would resume the fun another time. Dried and dressed with all

her necessary gear in

I Yield to None: Rhyldrin was a bit.... annoyed at the prospect of being

sent to clear out vermin from a basement. To say the least. However, the drow

had been feeling a bit bored as of late, his studies into death and how to

control it hitting a

restless impulse: place, she had set off in the right direction. Naturally

she was grateful that they had chosen to do this work after night had fallen,

it did make things so much easier as she moved through the streets and out of

Navahla, following

I Yield to None: plateau as it were. Looking over the map and details, or

lack there of, he simply gathered his gear, a couple of poisons and potions,

and made his way to the wall. He read that Mercy was to meet him and he

wondered how long she

restless impulse: the detail until she would eventually find herself at the

site in question. It did not portend to be particularly difficult or mentally

taxing work but one could never tell straight off: and if nothing else,

accepting less

restless impulse: prestigious jobs such as this would eventually rise to

greater things. In theory.

I Yield to None: would take. Stepping into the shadow of the wall he began

to slip in and out of the umbra (shadow realm) on his way to the entrance.

While it was night, her body still cast a shadow, and as such he would

casually rise from the

I Yield to None: deeper darkness of her shape before speaking in low tones.

"Have you put on weight?" When, or if, she turned to face him she would see a

half smirk of amusement on his face. The drow could joke!... Sort of.-

restless impulse: She gave a little start, moving to one side and turning in

the direction of the voice only to spy him emerging from the depths of her

own shadow. Well. That was an interesting trick .. she wondered what he could

do with a globe of

I Yield to None: (Shadow Walk Skill Used Earlier)

restless impulse: darkness. Initially affronted at the mere suggestion; she

noted the appearance of a half smirk and chose to return one of her own:

gloves hands rising to outline her breasts. "You tell me." A small chuckle,

before dropping her arms

restless impulse: and indicating the building with a tilt of her head. "Were

you told anything else about this .. task?"

I Yield to None: -Lifting an eyebrow at her gesture toward her breasts he

tilted his head to the side as if deep in thought. "Those look a bit

smaller...." He moved to the right and closer toward the entrance at that.

She couldn't hurt him of

I Yield to None: course, however, the idea of an affronted female.... a drow

female, wasn't something he desired to deal with at the moment. Peering down

into the darkness of the entrance he would also bend his knees to get a

better angle due to

I Yield to None: the lowering of his body (Darksight).-

restless impulse: "Your eyesight must be failing in your advanced age." She

snorted delicately, following his movements with a small glare and resisted

the urge to boot his behind so he could tumble down into the entrance.

Instead she would merely

restless impulse: wait; she too could look over his shoulder but she didn't

want to crowd the entry way.

I Yield to None: They wouldn't note anything out of sorts. Those with

darksight would see a semi collasped tunnel, most likely an outside entrance

that led down into the basement. When the church was still there of course.

I Yield to None: "Or getting more accurate." He said absently before

motioning for her to go first. "Surely you don't want to walk behind a male."

He smirked again before standing and moving down into the darkness, not

giving her a chance to get

I Yield to None: ahead of him unless she actually attempted to sneak by or

push him out of the way.-

restless impulse: Oh no, she let people walk ahead of her so if there was

anything nasty in the darkness ahead - they'd get hit by it first. It was a

tactic that had served her well on the last few outings with the Obsidian

Heart, and she saw no

restless impulse: reason to change that now .. besides, it gave her a good

view of his back so she could pinpoint exactly where to stick her dagger in,

if she ever figured out a way to give him a full brain transplant with

someone a bit more

restless impulse: charming! And so to that end, she would follow in his

wake, her own sensitive eyes scanning the area around her [darkvision] whilst

she extended her senses carefully [trapsense].

I Yield to None: ^v^ 5/26/2014 1:58:33 PM ^v^

restless impulse: "Wait." If he didn't stop at her word, she would reach out

for his cloak or shoulder, whichever was in the immediate range. "There is a

trap up ahead."

I Yield to None: -Rhyldrin would stop at both her word and her touch before

lifting an eyebrow and looking between her and the path ahead. "You sure?

Perhaps you just wanted to touch me.." He didn't move though. He was powerful

enough to not care

I Yield to None: about traps but why bother with the outcome if she could do

something about them. He moved against the wall to let her by. Tight squeeze

anyone?-

restless impulse: She merely smirked, tilting her body so that she could

squeeze past him and extend her area of vision to pinpoint where the trap

was, and see if she could determine its type .. and whether or not it was

worth disarming!

restless impulse: "Mmhhmm." Narrowing her eyes, she focused on the lock

itself and moved forward as carefully as she dared to avoid triggering it;

settling down and unrolling a set of tools from one of the many pouches

attached to her belt. Furrowing

restless impulse: her brow in concentration, she would work on disarming it.

OnlineHost: restless impulse rolled 1 20-sided die: 20

I Yield to None: ~*~ restless impulse scored 2 poynts damage ~*~

I Yield to None: A click would be heard as the trap was so amazingly

disarmed it hardly looked like she did anything.

restless impulse: A hand would move to flick her hair over one shoulder.

"Yes, I am sure." Tools put away, she stood to one side in order to let him

pass.

I Yield to None: "Hmmm..... maybe you are worth keeping around..... with

handwork like that." He added before moving forward and further into the

darkness.

restless impulse: "Naturally." And she followed!

I Yield to None: They would note that the "pathway" was turning to the left,

and always on a downward slant. They were descending it seemed.

restless impulse: "Ah ... there is another trap up ahead." She frowned

slightly. "What is down here that needs this many traps in such a short space

of time .. " Eyeing Rhyldrin, she waited until he moved to one side so that

she could skirt the edges

restless impulse: of the trap and get to work again.

I Yield to None: "One of your siblings perhaps?" He said with a smirk before

he moved back against the wall, though this time when she passed him he would

poke her in the stomach.-

restless impulse: "I was an only child. There is a higher chance of it being

one of your ex lovers." She tsked lightly, not even trying to slap away his

hand as she moved towards the trap and settled on the edge, staring at it for

a few moments

restless impulse: before getting out her tools and looking for the best way

to disarm it successfully.

restless impulse: (( +12 Quick, +5 Speed of a Cheetah, +5 Disable Device, +5

I Yield to None: "...... Oddly enough that statement is true.." He said with

a full smirk upon his dark featuers. He took a moment to enjoy the view of

her bending over while she worked.-

I Yield to None: They would both hear a click as the trap was secured.

However, they would also hear something that resembled a hiss emit from

somewhere. (Listen Check, 15+ Needed to Identify Location of Source)

restless impulse: ".. you are seriously informing me, that at the bottom of

this so called basement there is a woman who used to share your bed?" She

stared incredulously at him; not sure whether to take him seriously or not

but .. well .. she did

restless impulse: get the impression that he was one to sleep with anything

in a skirt! Tilting her head, she tried to discern the location of that weird

noise that just sprung up.

I Yield to None: They would both realize the hissing sound came from beneath

them. It was soft, at least by the time the noise got to them, but it was

coming from below them.

restless impulse: ".. is that gas?" She sniffed slightly, leaning further to

try and figure it out. Unless it was a snake ..

I Yield to None: "While I have bedded females in even... more interesting

places, I said the possibility existed that at the bottom could be one of my

lovers..... Most of them were rather... evil." He tilted his head upon

hearing the noise and then

I Yield to None: shook it slowly. "Don't know."

I Yield to None: It was a one and done deal. The hiss like sound had sounded

after the trap had been disarmed and then it was gone.

I Yield to None: ^v^ 5/26/2014 2:24:57 PM ^v^

restless impulse: "Well. At least we do not need to light torches." Shame

they didn't have a canary or someone who could shapeshift into one! "In any

event, the trap is safe now .. " She moved to one side to let him pass, but

tilted her head

restless impulse: slightly. "Unless you want me to go first .. ?"

I Yield to None: "The view is better...." He said with a shrug before

motioning toward her ass. "Besides, it seems you just want to keep brushing

up against me so you might as well give me some play." That translated to go

head in front.

restless impulse: She just rolled her eyes. One moment he's calling her fat

and declaring her breasts shrank, the next he's admiring her rear end! In any

case, she settled back in and proceeded to wander down the passagway, taking

note of the gradual

restless impulse: decline and how it tilted to one side; looking in as many

places as possible to try and keep an eye out for traps or any other likely

issues. At least now she didn't have to worry about Rhyldrin setting one off

by virtue of being

restless impulse: in front .. though now if there was any nasty beast ahead,

she would be the first to see it. She would just have to make sure her

reflexes were faster.

I Yield to None: After going down a bit more they would suddenly catch a

foul stench upon their noses. Inside their nostrils it would fill and they

would have to try hard not to wretch. (Willpower Check. 10+ needed not to

throwup).

I Yield to None: (+1 = 10)

I Yield to None: Well no barfing here, though they would both gag some.

restless impulse: "By the gods .. " Gloved hand was lifted to cover her nose

and mouth, the woman gagging delicately behind the leather.

I Yield to None: "Oh Merc...." He said before gagging and covering his

mouth.

I Yield to None: His eyes even watered a bit before he brought his body

under control enough to peer ahead.

restless impulse: Turning her head she glared daggers at him. He best not

have been about to blame it on her! That done, she would turn her attention

back to the front and continue moving forward, foul stench or no foul stench!

I Yield to None: Ahead they would see an arced entrance way leading into a

room. In the center they would see what looked to be a hole. As they entered

the room another hiss would sound. Listen check, 10+ needed to determine the

location.

restless impulse: (( +9 per, +5 alert = 29~! ))

I Yield to None: They would note that the hiss was coming from the hole in

the center of the room.

restless impulse: She frowned, stepping carefully through the arced entryway

and creeping up to the hole; her hand still firmly over her mouth and nose in

case this was the source of the foul stench. Moving to one side to make sure

Rhyldrin was not

I Yield to None: -Looking around Rhyldrin would remove his hand from his

nose and mouth, swallow carefully and then begin to make his way toward the

hole.-

restless impulse: directly behind her, she peered down into the hole.

restless impulse: (( +9 perc, +5 alert = 19 ))

I Yield to None: (+9 = 27)

I Yield to None: Rhyldrin would see four thick chains that disappeared into

the surrounding walls and then down into the pit. Mercy would see a massive

worm like creature with several rows of teeth outlining the inside of its

mouth like rings. When

I Yield to None: she peered over it began to hiss more urgently.

I Yield to None: She would see that a thick metal collar was wrapped around

the creature's body, below the mouth and was much too small for it. As such

it had remained trapped. The chains were attached to the collar.

restless impulse: "Ah .. " She jumped back from the edge of the hole,

rethinking her initial response to peer over it. "Its chained .. At least it

can not escape readily. It does not look friendly."

I Yield to None: If they were to look up they would note that the previous

traps would have dropped them right into the creature's mouth.

I Yield to None: (Knowledge Check if appropriate is acceptable)

restless impulse: (( mercy is lacking in the knowledge department just now

))

I Yield to None: ~*~ I Yield to None scored 0 poynts damage ~*~

I Yield to None: (+31 = 37)

I Yield to None: -Rhyldrin moved up to look over the edge and began to

mentally flip the pages of the various monster books he had read. "It's some

kind of Dire Worm.... Similiar to a wingless dragon or giant leech." He would

look back to the chains

I Yield to None: and then back to the Dire Worm. "Well, we were paid to get

rid of it..." (d)

I Yield to None: ^v^ 5/26/2014 2:43:22 PM ^v^

restless impulse: She looked at him, looked down at the pit again .. she

felt a little weird about attacking something chained up, but a job was a

job! With her hand she indicated the beast, a little half smirk on her lips.

"After you .. "

I Yield to None: Indeed, they were paid to get rid of the problem. Which was

a giant worm behind in the guy's future basement and eating workers.

I Yield to None: *behind = within

I Yield to None: -A thought came to the drow at that and he motioned toward

the walls. "See if you can release the chains from the wall..... See if you

can pick them somehow." (d)

I Yield to None: (DC 0f 18 Needed to pick the chains. A total of 4 chains

exist.)

restless impulse: "Mmm? Certainly." If she was anyone else, she would have

cracked her knuckles, but instead a zealous light came into her eyes as she

happily slipped across to the first chain and whipped out her tools, settling

down into a

restless impulse: comfortable position to work her expertise on the

mechanisms.

I Yield to None: ~*~ restless impulse scored 2 poynts damage ~*~

I Yield to None: (Annnnd the first one fell from the wall with a loud

clatter.)

restless impulse: A smirk of satisfaction, the woman picking herself up and

slipping to the second chain and setting her tools to the task.

OnlineHost: restless impulse rolled 1 20-sided die: 19

I Yield to None: ~*~ restless impulse scored 1 poynts damage ~*~

I Yield to None: (Getting lucky, second one drops away. The worm hisses a

bit as well but remains where it is. 2 left)

restless impulse: So far so good .. keeping one eye on the pit whilst she

moved to the third lock, she only shifted her attention completely when she

arrived there. She had a sneaking supicion that it could attack her before

the fourth chain was

restless impulse: fully released .. but in any case, she started to work on

the third lock!

I Yield to None: (Clanking upon the floor the chain would go. 1 Left)

restless impulse: And to that final chain she moved as quickly as possible:

setting her tools to the task and mindful of the fact that there would be a

raging giant worm after the chain was released .. and she did not mean the

contents of

restless impulse: Rhyldrins pants!

I Yield to None: (Lucky Duck indeed. The chain would drop from the wall

without any traps activating! From the hole the Dire Worm would erupt,

hissing and spitting at them.

I Yield to None: Rhyldrin would remain where he was, his nostrils flaring as

he released the essence of his craft. Negative energies and death magics

cracked and flared around him as that pale green gaze looked into the gaping

maul of the dire worm.

I Yield to None: "I suggest you leave while you still can." (Intimidation

Check)

I Yield to None: ~*~ I Yield to None scored 0 poynts damage ~*~

restless impulse: [ quickened grace, +2 quickness! ] Once the chain dropped,

she flexed her limbs in preparation for the coming fight ahead, eyes

narrowing ever so slightly as she dropped her hands to the hilts of her

weapons.

I Yield to None: (Dire Worm Fails Check)

I Yield to None: (Arcing away from the drow the dire worm would hiss and

spit once more before slowly lowering itself back into its hole. It would

then drop down and they would ear the rumbling of its body moving into the

ground below. After once

I Yield to None: and a while an echoing clang would sound from the depths as

the collar bounced off a rock. The problem had been solved. They were paid to

get rid of the problem, they weren't told how. Obsidian Heart had made things

a bit too

I Yield to None: peaceful around the kingdom. It was time to stir up some

things.

I Yield to None: ^v^ 5/26/2014 3:05:44 PM ^v^

I Yield to None: -Smirking as the rumbling and clanking faded he would turn

and look upon Mercy and her posture with a raised eyebrow.... "Are you really

that fragile?" (d)

restless impulse: "We can't all be like you, Rhyldrin." She ignored his tone

and pulled velithssra and her lightblade from their sheathes. "Surely there

was a time before you were all knowing and all powerful .. " A touch of

sarcasm perhaps, if he

restless impulse: was ever considered 'weak' she doubted he could remember,

or perhaps even admit to it! He could never peach his own self image surely?

I Yield to None: "Yes.... when I was born." He would motion toward the exit

before smirking. "Let's get going." He then began to make his way toward the

exit, returning the way they had entered.-

restless impulse: "Of course." Keeping her weapons close just in case the

worm actually decided to come back, she followed him through the exit and

back up the passageway.
