"Do you think we should have it bring out Sakura and Keitaro?" Miya asks, looking at the two naked Samurai hanging in stasis above the well in the mystic chamber.

"What if the magic is keeping them alive?" Udo wonders aloud, still not sure what's going on.

"Kirito was there some pattern to that thing you did to open that room?" Rai asks with an idea coming to him.

"Yes?" He answered, a little but unsure what to think of it.

Quote from: BerkaZerka on April 27, 2014, 07:19:43 pm

Ignoring Rai for the moment and pushing himself beyond his normal comfort level, Kirito strained to summon an Earth Elemental. Moments later, a hulking piece of walking granite stepped into view.

"How may I serve, Priest?" the Elemental asked in voice that sounded like the rumble of an earthquake.

"Greetings Elemental. We are inside a holy temple, and we need to get a book that is inside that room. That room however, kills any human that walks trough it. For this, we need you my friend." He smiled at the elemental.

Then he looked at Udo "Udo, i dont know if your burden sharing trance would be needed here, but if it does, would you mind using it?" he asked.

"Oh, and to answer your question, the magic in there is certainly keeping them alive. Or so to speak. There is a chanse that their souls is in the castle of the ancestors now and" He gestured to their bodies "those are just soulless husks untill the gods decide its time to bring them back."

"Dude, I'm out" Udo replies, sweating. "So we can't take them out, can we?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #503 on:** April 28, 2014, 04:51:14 pm »

“Hmm… you want me to get you a book?” the Earth Elemental asked as it moved into the chamber.

As Kirito had concluded, the script on the columns did not react to the Elemental’s presence and it made its way unimpeded to the well.

Once at the edge, it leaned over to look down into the well, then turned back to Kirito outside the chamber and asked, “Which one do you want?”

Daedalus · « **Reply #504 on:** April 28, 2014, 07:03:26 pm »

"Which one?.. whcih one? Bring them all to me. I want to see them, though il only take the book we actually need." Kirito smiled.

Rai looks over nervously and says, "Kirito that might not be a good idea."

A sudden outburst of nosebleed does indeed prove Rai right. "I think you might be right..." he replied. "On second though, only take (insert book name here.) And hold onto it. I want to read it on our way back." he said while trying to stop the flow.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #507 on:** April 28, 2014, 07:45:36 pm »

The Elemental just turned back to the well and clambered into it with all the grace of a bull on a rope ladder.

A moment later, it returned to the top and then jumped out, holding two books and four scrolls.

It took a second to look at each and then tossed them all back into the well.

"No book by that name, Priest," it said simply.

Fireplay · « **Reply #508 on:** April 28, 2014, 08:20:05 pm »

"What about a book of secrets or spells? Tell your elemental to grab all the larger books and we can start looking through them while he goes to get more."
Miya suggests to Kirito before heading over to Yuki.

"Are you alright Yuki? You've been banged up a bit and I know those spirits helped you but I just want to make sure."
She asks in a caring voice.

Daedalus · « **Reply #509 on:** April 28, 2014, 08:56:00 pm »

out of all elementals to summon i summon a brute.. just my luck

"Hmm.. bring them all to me, and do be careful. Thats the scrolls of the gods. Yours aswell as mine." Kirito replied.

"That's wonderful Yuki, just... Be careful alright? Can you promise me that?"
Miya asks her long time friend.
(regardless of answer)
"Alright, let's go get that book and leave this place."

killa_robot · « **Reply #513 on:** April 29, 2014, 12:16:17 am »

"Ahaha, don't worry Miya!" Yuki says confidently.

"I'm always careful!"

"We are going to have to work on that aspect, Yuki..." Roka says, hesitatently. Nothing worse then a woman's scorn.

The Elemental seem to snort in disgust at Kirito’s request (if that was even possible), but turned to climb back down the well anyway.

Once back up, it crossed the inner sanctum and brought the two books and four scrolls over to Kirito.

Looking them over, Kirito saw that they consisted of the following –

Four lacquered bamboo scrolls originally written in Old Realm, but with a Realm Tongue translation scribed into the margins; each detailing the creation rituals for a different set of exceptionally powerful Ofuda Strips (Paper Charms meant to be hung on the outside of buildings to ward them from certain types of harm) – These included the Ofuda of Protection From Disease, the Ofuda of Protection From Spirits, the Ofuda of Protection From Theft, and the Sacred Ofuda.

The first book was really just a collection of pages, written in Old Realm and apparently torn from some larger manuscript, before being sewn together with horsehair.

It contained diagrams and information on the creation process of four arcane relics – the Collar of Dawn’s Cleansing Light, the Starmetal Divining Bowl, the Reflecting Glass of Many Faces, and Wings of The Raptor.

The second book meanwhile, was a monstrously large tome, not with written text, but with each letter of every line of every paragraph painstakingly embroidery-stitched into each of its four hundred silk pages.

This book also appeared to be encoded in some manner, as the characters (which had the appearance of Old Realm) made no sense when read directly.

killa_robot · « **Reply #516 on:** April 29, 2014, 05:42:30 pm »

Yuki takes the large tomb and looks through it, using her different sights in order to see if they would reveal anything.

(And since it's not on her sheet yet, Yuki reads to aura of Jenna too haha)

Daedalus · « **Reply #517 on:** April 29, 2014, 05:51:11 pm »

Kirito, leaving the big tome to Yuki for the moment, decided to pay more attention to the creation of the scroll for the different rituals. To them trough thouroghly and memorize them.

Not Aman · « **Reply #518 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:08:40 pm »

"Alright, if that's it, let's move. The longer we stay, the less likely we will survive." Roka says.

"Kirito, let's pull the move we did last time. Have your elemental pull us fast. My students will carry you over." Roka simply states.

"Let's go."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #519 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:09:42 pm »

Yuki sees nothing more about the tome with her Sorcerer's Sight. In fact, the book doesn't even seem to hold any magic at all.

Kirito meanwhile, finds that it will take more than a casual glancing through, to memorize the content of the other book and scrolls.

killa_robot · « **Reply #520 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:15:55 pm »

Yuki studies the tome quizzically, before nodding her head.

"Yep. This is definitely, the tome of secrets...probably..."

She then puts the book into her bag and turns to Kirito.

"You should put the rest back", she remarks. She then turns to everyone else.

"We should probably go now..."

Yuki finishes, looking at the shrine as it rebuilds itself.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #521 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:24:03 pm »

By now, anyone looking, sees that the slab of stone, where the Naga had appeared, has already rebuilt itself a third of the way up from the ground...

Fireplay · « **Reply #522 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:45:27 pm »

Miya glances over at the stone slab.
"We need to hurry, that altar is almost done fixing itself. I say we pack the confusing(Encoded) and larger book before retreating. Leave the rest."
She says with a sense of urgency in her voice.

Daedalus · « **Reply #523 on:** April 29, 2014, 07:05:28 pm »

Kirito glances at his scrolls, and the room, then back to the scrolls "aaaarghhh. Miya, think you can memorize one of these?" he asked.

Not Aman · « **Reply #524 on:** April 29, 2014, 07:49:32 pm »

"Kirito, if you want the secrets, just take them. We are stealing anyways. We need to go."

Daedalus · « **Reply #525 on:** April 29, 2014, 07:57:49 pm »

"I guess evil is a point of view.." He said, feeling uncomfertable doing it but decides to take them anyway.

"Remember our trip last time? were doing something like that again." Kirito said to the elemental.

"Students, carry the exhausted Kirito out. Come along guys." Roka says, as he heads out of the temple, taking a final glance at Keitaro and Sakura.

Miya snatches the scrolls out of Kirito's hands and begins quickly reading through them. Putting them to memory.

"We are not stealing from the God's Temples any more than we have too. Understand?"
Miya tells Kirito as she shoves the scrolls back into his arms.

"I have too much at stake to risk anymore than we already have committed to do."

Tanstaafl · « **Reply #528 on:** April 29, 2014, 11:21:59 pm »

"So, um, we're just going to leave Sakura and Keitaro here? I dunno..." Udo says scratching his head, as "Either, way, we should be going back as fast as possible, so..."

He quickly follows Roka.

Fireplay · « **Reply #529 on:** April 30, 2014, 01:37:41 am »

Miya looks in the direction of her dead friends and gives a bow before quickly turning to help Yuki get outside.
"Let's go Yuki, hopefully we can return to help our friends. It's not safe here right now."

cool74 · « **Reply #530 on:** April 30, 2014, 06:24:13 am »

Rai looks back and says, "We will come back for them."

Daedalus · « **Reply #531 on:** April 30, 2014, 06:26:42 am »

"If they are here, it means the gods themself are looking out for them." Kirito said Then looking his at scrolls agan "Alright. put these scrolls back... carefully." He told the earth elemental.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #532 on:** April 30, 2014, 05:00:11 pm »

The Elemental took the Scrolls from Kirito, carefully walked over to the well - and then tossed them in again.

Yuki gives Miya a nod then exits the temple.

"Can't Kirito teleport us all back to Sendai?"

Fireplay · « **Reply #534 on:** April 30, 2014, 06:52:59 pm »

"I would hope so, but I don't know if he can do it from within the spirit realm."
Miya says to Yuki.

"Let's deal with that when we get to the wagon and begin moving. We can plan on the go, but the longer we wait, the less time we got." Roka says, motioning for his students to go, and begins leaving the temple.

cool74 · « **Reply #536 on:** April 30, 2014, 07:19:10 pm »

Rai looks around and thinks we need to leave quickly. "I agree with Roka. We have to move no telling if the guardians will come after us even if we leave the temple before the come back."

"Evil will always triumph over good," Jenna says sarcastically to Kirito, "Because 'good' is stupid... (apparently)."

Then with an exasperated sigh, she adds - "You are still standing aren't you? Then you can cast your spell without spell energy. Just use your own life force."

Daedalus · « **Reply #539 on:** May 01, 2014, 06:03:18 pm »

"Meh." Kirito replies to her. fueling the spell and going to exhausted.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #540 on:** May 01, 2014, 07:49:19 pm »

Kirito has everyone hold hands and successfully pushes himself to teleport everyone back to Sendai – whereupon, he immediately falls exhausted by the effort.

Looking around, the Samurai notice something is wrong – THERE’S NO SENDAI!

It’s gone, the landscape and mountains and valleys are all there in the right place – but the entire city just isn’t there!

Not a single man-made structure can be seen anywhere and the environs are completely overgrown in wilderness.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #541 on:** May 01, 2014, 07:52:11 pm »

"Ugh, stupid priest," Jenna mumbles to herself.

Tanstaafl · « **Reply #542 on:** May 01, 2014, 07:57:18 pm »

Udo, in disbelief, just goes to a nice patch of land and begins setting up tents. "C'mon guys, let's get some rest, gonna have to some some shifts though... Maybe"

He looks around, are there any animals or predators around?

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #543 on:** May 01, 2014, 08:05:08 pm »

Udo doesn't see anything else living around at the moment...

"Sleepyhead here, just teleported us to Sendai in the Spirit World," Jenna replied to Roka.

"We are where Sendai would be - if it was in the Spirit World, but it is not. It only exists in the Physical World."

Not Aman · « **Reply #547 on:** May 01, 2014, 08:27:43 pm »

"..." Roka doesn't even respond, but is visbly angered.

"Alright." Roka says, after taking a deep breath. "We are weak and weary, but we need to get out of here. We could use the elemental to get us back to where we entered the spirit world, right?"

Tanstaafl · « **Reply #548 on:** May 01, 2014, 08:31:07 pm »

Udo frowns, "Roka, I dunno... But it might be worth it to rest here for a small bit. Once Kirito rests we can get back quickly, right now some of us are exhausted..."
He once again looks around, and just scratches his head. "At least here we can set up in case of an attack, sorta. I don't want to meet another Giant at this state"

cool74 · « **Reply #549 on:** May 01, 2014, 08:43:50 pm »

Rai looks around and says, "We really should rest. I think we are far enough away to not worry about being caught in a trap but just in case. Those of us who are not very injured should keep watch."

He prepares to use readily overlooked campsite to hide where they are from any wandering spirits.
