Searching for Friends: Eastern Lost Continent

[mindofathief]

Characters: Duster, Tazendra, Lust, Minato, NPCs
Where: Village of Santa Claus, Mythril Mines
When: Starting March 5th
Summary: The four wake up in the World of Ruins. They catch up on what happened and explore the area they've ended up in

The last thing Duster saw was the ground falling away from his feet - no, he was pulled away. The battlefield blurred, and only the large imposing figure of Chaos remained distinct from the rest of the room. He heard Rialynn and Sparks screaming. Then darkness.

There was nothing.

He was dead, he had to be. This void wasn't caused by being transported to another world. His friends remained behind, finishing what he could not. In time, he could lose consciousness...

"Gather your strength...you must be strong to face Kalki...!"

That voice...he heard it before...

"I'm sorry...I couldn't find a better way to save you...."

Duster closed his eyes. It was cold. Duster opened his eyes. It was white.

No, that was snow. He layed on his back in a snowdrift. The wind howled around his ears, which did not help considering he was only wearing a light coat when he stepped into Pandaemonium. There were three other people in the snow nearby, which was better than waking up alone. Only...

"What happened?"

Tazendra had been wearing the armor of a Crystal Knight still on the Enterprise. Yes, she could have asked Mogmi to provide a change of clothing, but they could have been heading from one fight to another. The downside is that even with the padding she wore under her armor, she was quickly getting cold.

But, they had been in the desert. That didn't make any sense. She struggled to a seated position, blinking confusedly as she looked around. "Well." No, she really had no idea what was going on. Tazendra turned her head to face Duster. "Ah, you are alive!"

It was something of an improvement: to have someone else in the frozen wastes they found themselves in, and someone who had been lost when they had attacked Garland.

Exploring the Mines

[mindofathief]

Once they entered the warmth of the caverns, Duster rested the concertina on an overturned minecart and rubbed his hands together. The palms were red from cold. He didn't know what to do to stave off frostbite, but he had a good feeling that warming his hands up was key.

He turned towards the darkness of the entrance tunnel, the torches all burnt out years ago. "Does anyone have a fire spell?"

((OOC: Feel free to continue the thread above at the same time))

Bonus Boss...?

...Is this all?

[Now careful not to trip over any more corpses, Duster had managed to walk through the rest of the mines without incident. Minus monsters, of course, but those were to be expected. The leftover potions and such were a godsend as well.]

It's really big and empty. There had to have been something in here.
