Descent

Iron Mines:
The trip to the eastern mountains is punctuated by the continuing aftershocks. After each one, it may be tempting to glance back at Union to see if any of the towers have fallen yet. The expedition parties move with incredible speed, knowing that the fate of their City hangs on the line.

When they reach the mountains, guided by the coordinates given of the 'strange radio signal', the parties will find that many of the normal entrances and routes have been blocked by cave-ins. In contrast, however, a gaping hole has opened up where none existed before. As this seems to be the easiest way to gain access, the parties slowly lower themselves in...

They will find themselves in the long-sought iron mines.

But there are so many twisting turns and tunnels, it will be impossible to stay together and make any sort of progress. Each group will have to take their own paths from here...

Old City:
Each of the twelve entrances down into the Old City take a different meandering route through the ruins. Though several are blocked off by this time, there are still many potential paths to take. The state of the Old City is poor, being underground as it is, and occasional soft rumblings are certain to cause unease. As the report states, however, there is enough of an interval between quakes that it should be possible to investigate safely.

It would be unwise to venture down alone, but it is impossible, too, for everyone to stay together if they wish to make headway.

Union:
The wild Pokémon continue to come out of the Old City, though the frequency has been somewhat lessened. Rubble lines the streets and though no towers have collapsed as of yet, some seem to be dangerously close and certainly nobody should be staying inside of them. As stated, the towers in Sector 3 are the worse off and construction crews work frantically to attempt to restabilize the foundations of these buildings.

The injured are innumerable, the number of casualties is as of yet unknown, and the chaos and panic is difficult to fend off.

There is a great deal of work to be done.

((Please post below with your groups - in the first comment, please note the members of your group, where you are, and whether or not you intend to keep a threading order. Regardless of threading order, mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the event moving. Groups should be three to four people in size.

At this time, all characters entering the iron mines will be able to choose to bond with a free extra Pokemon listed under 'Cavern' in the Map and Wild Pokemon post. Please respond there if you intend to make use of this. Characters who have already claimed a free Old City Pokemon may not do so.))

My apologies for not doing particularly exciting things.

[ But she's calm, and Duke just looks relieved. That worked.

He turns back to the humans.
]

... If we can't manage to take apart the machines, would it be wrong to let them take out irritation on them?
stardustreverie: (You can trust me!)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2014-02-06 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Don't see why not. It'll help them out and get some frustration on the things that are pissin' them off!

[Hey, Marisa is just glad the pokemon isn't attacking her.]
paradiseshrinemaiden: (The things I put up with...)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-06 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, what Marisa said. If it'll make them feel better, then sure.

[Yeah, she's pretty glad she didn't have to fight them either. That would've been a pain.]
paradiseshrinemaiden: (Guess it's time to get serious)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-06 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Reimu's not interested. They don't have time to waste on things like that anyway. Reimu is, as always hyper focused on completing the mission as soon as possible and that means that now that the Nidoqueen and her group were no longer an obstacle, it was time to get moving and find those machines.

Speaking of that.]

So, now that that's taken care of, where can we find those machines?

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2014-02-06 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I can ask.

[ Because that seems to be what he's good at-

So back to the nidoqueen.
]

Were there areas where the noises were louder? Or was it just about everywhere.
radiantwingedone: (... Are you mocking?)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2014-02-07 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Toward the iron caves.

[ Duke repeats that, because hasn't the city been having issues with a lack of iron. ]

... Would you mind being a guide? You know the caves much better than I.

[ And he is pretty sure Ashlynn, who he knows is a delver, would have mentioned iron caves if she knew where they were- ]
stardustreverie: (I've heard this before...)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2014-02-07 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...Sounds like one issue runs in ta another one...

[Marisa has no interest in the Nidoqueen either, wanting to help but at the same time she was keeping her distance..and her knuckles were white from the fact she wasn't letting go of her broom for anything at the moment.

But at the very least she'll nod and slowly start to follow.
]
paradiseshrinemaiden: (Jeez what a pain)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-07 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Reimu snorts derisively.]

It figures after all that fuss about there not being enough iron in the Old City and needing to go look for a mine outside the walls, there'd be a place mine for it somewhere here after all...

[She's going to also start following as she grumbles about this. She didn't get involved in that at all, but since when has that ever stopped her?]

I'm just glad she's letting us prove ourselves. And if there is actually iron, maybe we can convince her and the other pokemon to let us move peacefully through here to get it.



[OOC: Despite having this tracked, I've received no notifs this entire week. I think Dreamwidth or Gmail is being a butt. Unfortunately, I also have to hiatus for the weekend. Move ahead without me and get your bonuses. God-mod rights to Duke-mun if you need Ashlynn to fight. She's steel/flying/fire and mostly uses her hammer to smash stuff.]
paradiseshrinemaiden: (You're not serious are you?)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-09 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Reimu had been getting impatient as they made their way through the tunnels. When the Nideoqueen stopped though, she also paused.]

What do you mean it's gone?

[And she actually sounds kind of annoyed by this. This better not mean someone else already came and found them before they could. That would really be a pain after everything.]

((ffft, deleted this comment before because I forgot Duke was the one translating, but I'm going to assume he said something. If that's alright with Duke-mun? XD;))
radiantwingedone: (Focus)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2014-02-12 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
(fine with me-)

... On the other hand...

[ Buildings. Those look interesting, even if they don't get to smash or take things apart. ]
stardustreverie: (What are you talking about?)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2014-02-12 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a bit of a growl that escapes Marisa at this discovery, All of this for the whole thing to pretty much grind to a halt? Not her style...but at the same time, Who says they would head back without things that could help.]

That's good then. Maybe it'll let ya live in peace! But..What are those doin' there?

[She gestures to the buildings for a second. She's curious now.]
radiantwingedone: (I need not answer that)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2014-02-20 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
.... Fun.

[ That sounds like something to let Delvers or Rangers deal with. ]

Why are they ... 'assholes'.
