The cylinder transformed into a rather nice house, the cylinder produced by the Ashen Father from his censer, the cylinder that was still connected to that censer. One would imagine that there would be consequences to putting yourself in the middle of a construct created by your opponent. There are always consequences.
As the door knob began to turn, the Ashen Father finishes another prayer, and what was once an obsidian structure turns into a raging inferno. Every millimeter of space that was stone is now fire and upon materializing in existence it produces a massive amount of smoke that blankets the entire chamber.
The bold adventurer who favored attacking first and asking questions second gets scorched for his trouble, but a cone of ice cuts through the flames and smoke forcing the Ashen Father on his back heels, retreating back towards the open pit bubbling with lava in the center of the chamber. Several flashes of magic surge from behind the cloud of ice and he is forced to defend himself by swinging the censer, forming some of the flames back into fragments of obsidian that shatter as they take the impact of the magic missiles.
The blade of a sword then swings forward, but a glimmer of light from one of the adventurers keeping at a distance catches his eye. To dodge the sword swing would leave him open to the bolt of light, but to use their ally as a shield would see the blade score across his shoulder.
A tremor of excitement runs through the Ashen Father. He was starting to feel young again as the exhilaration of fighting in a life-or-death situation amped up his adrenaline and focus to even higher levels. A wicked grin spreads across his face as he lets the swordsman cut into him without so much as a flinch.
He chuckles and locks eyes with Javal. "Can you feel it, boy? The energy in the earth itself is growing. We stand on the precipice of a new age. A new era wiped clean of all the rot that has festered for generations."
Note: Staying inside the inferno towards the door of the chamber by the next staff post will result in 1 Major wound (fire). There is also a cloud of smoke throughout the chamber, if it remains by the next staff post all characters will take 1 minor wound.

Javal grits his teeth as his vision is filled with fire and smoke, he feels his fingers get burnt with the fire but he's glad to see that at least he was able to put the man on the defensive.
He is then unnerved and enraged as he hears the weird madman spout his foolish nonsense he yells, “Shut up before I make you stop. I’ve had enough of hearing your mad ramblings about useless talks of rebirth and new eras. I don’t care if all you have done is hurt and destroy at your own will. I won’t let you hurt anybody ever again”.
Javal then grabs his lightning spear tightly with his second left arm and throws it at the man changing its shape into a lightning bolt (1) before charging at him with his katana attempting to slash (2) him across the chest hoping to use the lightning spear attack as a distraction.
Over with Nadia after her initial surprise to be stuck in an obsidian room with Lady Gwendolyn’s minion she stops and listens to the chaos that seems to be ahead of her she hurriedly opens the strange door before her and sprints through the other door. She is surprised to see that the rest of the battle is continuing here and attempts to fire off another ray bow (1) shot at the man’s censer device.

Flames dance throughout the structure as Gwendolyn attempts to take cover, finding any such avenues fruitless. The entirety of the area was engulfed, nowhere to run. In her mind, the only way through became forward. She could hear Javal and The Father arguing within the next room, swords clashing. The heat was beginning to burn her everywhere the armour touched skin. The sizzling of flesh on metal was all the more motivation to act before she was cooked alive. A potion from within her pouch, deep blue, would help cool things down. She poured it into her weapons mains censer, changing it’s glow from a deep red to a cruel cerulean. Crouching below the main body of smoke, she advanced into the other room. The glowing red eyes from her snarling helm visible through the smog like a fiery revenant, she attempted to stay clear of the swinging blades and clashing spells, making her way behind the father. In truth, she was navigating the smoke through the use of her Arcane Glasses. Keeping track of where javal was swinging his Enchanted Katana “Shield”. Right in front of those swings would be the enemy. Standing at full height, she raised Enlightened Redolence and brought it down across where the enemy should be. A cruel strike, but necessary if they were to escape alive. “Ah you think the smoke was your ally? You merely adopted the smoke. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the flame until I was already a woman, by then it was nothing to me but blinding.” She said, almost mockingly. In truth, the pain that was searing her flesh moments ago had stopped hurting. A bad sign. Mori’s hair stood on end as the voice in her mind yelled at her to run. Alvina was not too keen to allow the bomb she was holding in her mouth go off quite yet. Mori stamped her feet and pushed magically against the right side of the building. The wall collapsed, allowing escape for those in the back room back into the main chamber. Alvina dashed forth, jumping off of Mori’s back while still covered by smoke so that the floating ornament could not be seen by those accompanying her. She ran over to the far side of the structure, the part where the ashen father had stood when this whole thing first started and waited patiently. Mori coughed, exiting the now engulfed structure, offering only a soft “Meowster…” to the Gwendolyn still trapped inside. Offensive Action - Momentous Cleave W Enlightened Redolence/Frostfire Extract Blade in the Dark Enlightened Redolence: Flame/Light Damage (Spellblade), Exalted Blunt Momentous Cleave: A technique that applies massive amounts of strength and energy into the attack. This skill allows your next attack to cleave off any unarmored or unprotected limb, such as an arm or leg. (will just knock out if struck in the head) If the attack is blocked or guarded with armor of any kind, this attack will consume all of the hit proventions that armor or defensive source has, and can not obtain any new ones for the rest of the topic. Can only be used once per topic. Frostfire Extract: Applying the poison to a weapon gives its strikes a unique effect reflecting its name. For 2 posts after application, wounds inflicted by the poisoned weapon produce a moderately painful, localized burning sensation that slowly removes body heat from the victim. If these wounds are left untreated or unhealed, the poison will eventually induce severe hypothermia. Anyone afflicted by this poison can not cast spells that use or deal fire damage. Can only be applied once per topic. Blade in the Dark: The courier is always ready to strike, like a snake in the grass waiting for the perfect moment. The first time you would make a physical attack during a topic, that attack will ignore all hit preventions and will apply a wound that can not be healed or cured for the topic. This only applies to the first non spell attack you would make, letting Couriers blend in and seem harmless, before striking. Buff Action: Apply Frostfire Extract Major wound: Accepted Minor Wound: Rejected outright (Filter Veil) Mori: Mold Earth the wall down to the right to escape.

Post by Vail on Aug 26, 2023 18:05:40 GMT -5
Vail’s eyes widen as the room he is standing in turns into flames. More fire? I guess I should have seen this coming given the whole self-combustion thing.He pushes through the flames following Gwen, preferring to not be cooked alive. The smoke in the chamber is certainly a hindrance, luckily the light from the lava pit, as well the light from Javal’s blade, gives him an approximation of his foe’s position. Vail dashes to the man’s side, giving him a clear shot at the Father’s head as he clashes with Javal. He releases his shot just as the man lets Javal’s blade impact him [1]. Vail is taken aback as the man begins to lecture the fellblood. Something was clearly off about this; no opponent would willingly take a slash like that unless they had a counter prepared. Perhaps keeping his distance was the right decision. Still, part of him shares his allies’ and his opponent’s enthusiasm; this was a good opportunity to let out some past frustrations and he certainly wants to wipe the smug grin off this deranged fool’s face. He grins as he finally joins in on his allies' mocking remarks. “New era or not, you’re in for a world of hurt.” A glow begins to envelope his arms as he adjusts his stance[2]. He raises his fists as he eyes his opponent from across the chamber, watching for any counterattack as he begins his ranged assault. “This will be extremely painful.” He quips as he throws two blows[3] in the air towards the arm holding the censer, causing waves of energy to travel towards his foe.
“For you.”
Free action: Moves after Gwen out of the flame broiling house. Dashes to side of whichever arm is holding the censer (Bare hands: Dashing enchantment) Buff action: [2] Enters Art of the Soul Trance. Art of the Soul - Some monks ignore the elemental energy of the world around them and instead harness their own raw spirit. You enter a unique trance for the next three post, increasing the range of all your martial attacks by ten feet. When you make an attack with a melee attack, such as a punch or sword slice, a wave of spiritual energy will be released from the attack, allowing the attack to become ranged. Once during this duration, you can channel all of the spiritual energy to fire out a 20 foot long beam of raw energy. This will end the Art early but will prevent any one struck by the beam from using spells or class abilities for their next post. Offensive Action: [1] Releases the Purity bolt held in the last post towards the man’s head. [3] Punches twice toward the arm holding the censer using the extended range from Art of Soul. (Bare hands: Holy enchantment + Two Piece from Brawler) Active passives: Controlled Immunity (Acolyte - Any poison or toxic effect last for one turn less on you and will not effect you as much as normal) - Not sure if the smoke damage counts in this effect. (Bare Hands) Holy enchantment - Fear effect on foe + Ally trust on impact.

"Mad ramblings? I can assure you, boy, I am quite sane. It's the world that has gone mad."
The man's cackling rises from the blinding smoke. He reaches up to grab at Javal, but misses as he withdraws for a second slice. Blood splatters off of Javal's blade and onto the floor where it sizzles from the increasing heat in the chamber.
He swings his censer to the side as the smoke solidifies into a shield of obsidian to absorb the bolt of lightning and the bolt of light. He glances Vail's way as the agile fighter closes in on him from behind. There's a clanging sound of metal as Nadia's arrow strikes the censer dangling at his side and a look of annoyance briefly replaces the mania.
Javal closes in and the man takes the chain of the censer in each hand, using the length of the chain to block the sword strike before wrapping it around the blade and pulling Javal into the path of Vail's strikes in an attempt to block the fighter's fists.
Unfortunately for him, he does not see Gwen's attack before it is too late as she strikes out from the cover of the thick plumes. The cleave contacts his shoulder, shattering the bone and dropping the man to his knees as he shouts out in pain.
The censer clatters to the ground with an audible metallic clang.
He grips his shoulder, huffing and puffing as blood pours down his sleeve from the devastating blow.
The smoke eases just enough for the adventurers to see him glowering up at them with burning malice and unwavering determination.
"Our work will not be stopped. We will restore the natural order. If not by my hand, by the hands of others who know the truth."
A low rumble shakes the chamber all around the party and the gleeful grin spreads across the man's face once more.
"The deceiver's lies have been exposed and the seal is broken! All will be brought to see the light!"
With a note of finality in his joyous scream, the man whips his uninjured arm out making the censer clatter in an arc across the ground. A terrible cracking noise echoes in the chamber as the floor under all of them near the pit of lava breaks and threatens to cast them all into the boiling abyss.
"JOIN ME! EMBRACE THE FLAMES AND BE REBORN!"
Note: There is also a cloud of smoke throughout the chamber, if it remains by the next staff post all characters will take an additional minor wound. The floor is collapsing! Any character that falls into the lava will take 1 major wound (fire and earth).

Javal’s eyes grow wide in rage as the madman contuines speaking madness, “You are actually insane you fone completely mad. The world is perfect as is why change it? Sure we have our problems thievery, stealing, murder, and other crimes but why start over when we can just make our world better. You’re just looking for excuses to place yourself on top and make this world in your image. I promise you me and my friends here will crush you”.
As Javal goes for his sword slash and gets close to the man, his blade suddenly gets dragged from him and he goes along with it. He suddenly is placed in front of the old man and in front of Vail’s fists as the other man went in for a punch.
He jumps back away from the old man as continues his mad ramblings he shouts, “Your work will be stopped and die with you here. I promise you no matter what happens here I will hunt all of you monsters down and crush you and your ideas of bringing back the natural order.
Javal looks around as he feels the ground under him rumble and shake, “What’s going on what have you done you monster? What do you mean deciver’s lies and seals being broken?”.
Javal’s eyes grow wide as he suddenly sees the glowing bright lava under them, “Crap what can I do?
He then quickly motions his hand and points to the area under him summon an entire bridge of ice (1) under him and his friends
“Phew”, he exclaims before looking down to see that his ice bridge melted in almost a second.
“Oh no” he says worried about how he and Nadia would survive.
He yelled, "Do either of you two got anything to help us here?”

She sneered as she stood over the now wounded father, before quickly changing to a look of surprise as she began sliding towards BOILING MAG-MA. It was a non-ideal fate. A bridge of ice manifested shortly, before evaporating almost immediately. Sad, that might’ve worked, if only temporarily. Alvina Agreed that this situation was not ideal, and decided to enact her plan of blowing herself up. (4) The thousand-eyed invisible cat leapt from the collapsing floor, jumping at the rapidly sinking Ashen Father and dissipating into nothingness. The orb she was holding, as well as the exploding pebble she had swallowed earlier, contacted the magma near the ashen father and exploded with a furious frenzy. Splats of lava went flying in all directions, against which Gwendolyn threw out her hand and erected another shining barrier. The lava sizzled against the wall of light, catching most of the explosion and it’s aftereffects, before sliding downwards to just above the magma to act as a floor for the party. (1) Mori hacked and coughed as only a Feline-kin could, softly. Her lungs were filling with black soot quickly, and she could no longer bear to engage effectively. “I’m *cough* sorry Meowster” She whimpered, before opening the barrier to the entrance of the arena, and fleeing the scene. (2) Gwendolyn grit her teeth as she slid down onto the glowing floor, the smoke too thick to effectively find the bastard after the explosion. “We have to separate the man from the Censer. Where is he, can’t see him.” She says as she casts off her helmet and unstraps her chestplate. They both clatter to the ground, useless, as she begins casting another sigil. Her ring begins to glow, as well as her chest as it begins to turn a translucent electric blue colour. (3) Another of Lorde Wolfes suspiciously slime themed abilities no doubt, surely the man was thrown into a slime vat at blixt co. Or something. “There” She muttered, “If anyone gets their hands on that censer, throw it into me. We’ll seal it for the time being.”Defensive Action 1: Wall of light to protect from the blast, and then moved to act as a floor Defensive Action 2: Mold Earth the entrance, Mori exits the fight Buff Action 3: Blue Raspberries Space Pocket, Flavoured as Gwen's torso becoming semi-oozy (Eternity Ring) Offensive Action 4: Alvina self dismissed, Explosive Pebble and Explosive Ornament fall into lava, activating based on fire damage. Explosive Pebbles: A leather pouch filled with five sparkly stones. These stones can be thrown or used like darts, dealing very minor blunt damage. However these stones have a unique property. When they strike something, they will explode up to 30 feet, giving off a bright flash which will blind anyone looking directly at them for one post. In addition anyone struck by the stones will take fire damage. Explosive Ornaments: Three glass ornaments used to decorate trees and homes during the winter. These however have been tampered with by pirates from dragon's cradle and sold as a prank. These glass balls are filled with black powder, and when applied to flame will instantly explode. This firey explosion will reach up to five feet from the ornament and deals moderate fire damage.Passive Effects: Filter Veil - Airborne poison immunity Secret Identity - Capitol: Lady Gwentillae Arcane Glasses - Magic detection and Identification Infinite Soul - Age immunity Elemental Consumption - (1/2) Massive Fireball Held Overwhelming Magic - Spell Damage ignore resistance/immunity Dread Helm - Glowing red eyes, Nonmagical Darkvision

Post by Vail on Sept 5, 2023 19:46:27 GMT -5
While Vail didn’t exactly agree with all of Javal’s statement, particularly the perfect world aspect, he was more than willing to crush this mad man and his ambitions. As the waves from his previous attack move to impact the Father, the coward moves Javal in front of himself as a shield. Vail’s eyes widened momentarily, fearing the potential aftermath of his blows striking an ally. He breathes a slight sigh of relief as the fellblood evades his attack; things would no doubt only get worse if he were to lose control here. “What’s the matter? You were so excited for a fight before but now you’re trying to hide from some punches?”His banter is interrupted as the floor begins to rumble beneath them. Vail notes the man’s movements through the lightened smoke as he whips his censer across the ground. Whatever that thing is, it’s best that they remove it from his possession as quickly as possible. Before he can act on those thoughts, the floor beneath everyone begins to shatter, something he hadn’t exactly accounted for. “Oh fu-”Vail's words are interrupted as an ice bridge catches his fall, another helpful bit of quick thinking on Javal’s part.
“No.” He replies to fellblood’s question as he rises to feet and begins to move towards the Father, quickly throwing two punches towards him as he closes the gap. [1] He doesn’t make it far however, as a sudden flash from the lava pit stymies his plans further. His gauntlet covered hands reflexively move to shield his face from the explosion as he tries to figure out what exactly caused it. Bastard, what kind of trickery is this? Luckily for him, the explosion hasn’t blown out his ears, and Gwen's plea comes through clearly. There was one way to grant her request, albeit it was pretty improvised, and he hadn’t exactly used this ability by choice before. His mind focuses on the idea of his arm extending and slowly the wrappings adorning his right arm drop away as his flesh extends beyond its natural limits [2]. Oh, so that’s what it feels like. Yeah, this is pretty gross. Vail’s extended arm sweeps across the floor of light, searching for their objective in place of his eyes. After a short search, the clink of a chain’s movement catches his ears, and his fingers immediately move to grab onto the metal links. He pulls back the chain back towards Gwen's direction but feels a significant force resisting him. With a grimace, he yells to his companions across the room.
“Hit him, do anything you can to make him let go.”
Offensive actions: [1] Throws two punches at the Father from a distance as he moves towards him. (Bare Hands: Dashing + Holy enchantment, Two-piece, Art of Soul range increase.)
Buff actions: [2] Casts Soft Body and uses it to grab onto the censer's chain from a distance.
Active Effects: [2/3] Art of Soul:
Art of the Soul - Some monks ignore the elemental energy of the world around them and instead harness their own raw spirit. You enter a unique trance for the next three post, increasing the range of all your martial attacks by ten feet. When you make an attack with a melee attack, such as a punch or sword slice, a wave of spiritual energy will be released from the attack, allowing the attack to become ranged. Once during this duration, you can channel all of the spiritual energy to fire out a 20 foot long beam of raw energy. This will end the Art early but will prevent any one struck by the beam from using spells or class abilities for their next post. [1/2] Soft Body:
For the next two post one of your limbs becomes incredibly stretchy, able to bend and form in very unnatural ways. It can extend up to three times its normal length and wrap around objects. This can be used to assault foes from afar or even restrain enemies with your limbs. You still take damage as normal while in this state. Equip items: Gauntlets of Ginma [1/1]
Active Passives:
Bull's Strength Tattoo - Double strength
(Bare Hands) Holy enchantment - Fear effect on foe + Ally trust on impact.
(Bare Hands) Dashing enchantment - Move faster
Iron Grip - Brawler - Not letting go of that censer

The man barely seems to care that he's clearly lost this fight. Despite the smoke, the collapsing floor, and the rumblings that shake the whole chamber, he cackles loudly and takes every hit from Vail. He stumbles back towards the edge of the pool just as an explosion erupts from behind him and knocks him forward onto his knees.
He coughs and wheezes before attempting to pull back on his censer, but finds that the chain is stuck.
There's a moment of calm that comes over him. This was it. This was the beginning of the end. An almost solemn expression replaces the crazed bliss from his earlier attempt to dump the whole group in the boiling molten rock.
"I gave you all a chance," he shakes his head in disappointment. "Fine then, struggle and crawl your way back to the surface. My work is done."
He rises to his feet slowly, his back scorched and badly injured from the explosion and scattering of magma. He allows the chain to slip through his fingers before he holds his arms out to either side of him and turns his face upwards to the crumbling ceiling. He utters one final strange string of words in some long-forgotten tongue and welcomes his end at the adventurer's hands.
The chamber continues to tremble, with the shaking becoming more violent every passing second. Pieces of the floor continue to crumble and fall into the swelling pit of magma. Rock pieces chip loose from the ceiling and rain down through the smoke. There is no guarantee that the room will last much longer.
Note: There is also a cloud of smoke throughout the chamber, if it remains by the next staff post all characters will take an additional minor wound. The chamber is collapsing! Remaining here for too long is dangerous.

Javal had a look of terror and acceptance on his face as he looked down ready to meet his demise below, he had lived a pretty alright life so far he was glad his final moments were fighting an evil guy and kind of winning.
He scoffed at the madman’s final rambling and replied with a determined look on his face as he faced his own demise, “Good riddance filthy coward I hope whatever awaits you in the end is painful and makes you feel remorse for the evil things you’ve done”.
As he closed his eyes and waited for them to die nothing happened. He then opened them again and saw the floor had been changed from the magma below to a floor of light that was under him and his friends.
He looks around shocked and confused before remembering that was most likely a move on Lady Gwendolyn’s part.
“Great Job Gwendolyn it appears we are perfectly fine now let’s get that censer”, he says about to walk over to the mad old man.
He suddenly stops as the chamber rumbles and shakes violently, “Crap guys I think that’s our signal to get out of here”, he says as he runs over to a wall.
He takes a long inhale of breath, closes his eyes, and exhales, sending out a large cone of ice (1) at the wall in front of him.Nadia quickly follows behind her liege and as she sees him freeze the wall in front of him she fires off another ray bow attack.
He then whispers, "Javal Style: Waterspout Dance" and whirls his katana at a very fast pace in a rhythmic dance (2) and then strikes the wall with as much strength as he can muster in a single move.
Javal then moves quickly through it as Nadia follows him quickly behind him to escape.
Javal Zarrias:
Offensive Action 1: Ice Breath (Ice Drake Gland) at wall to weaken it.
Offensive Action 2: Blade Dance with Katana at Wall (Passives: Water Rune, Angelic Light, and Bull’s Strength)
Nadia Sadrine (Warlord Minion) to attempt to make a large enough hole to escape from.
Offensive Action: Fire Ray bow shot at wall.

Her eyes widen as the chamber around them begins to shake and collapse. This maniac was planning on taking them all with him to his firey abyss. “Fool!” She yells, desperately casting a spell to keep him in place so they all might escape. Misty chains erupt from the lava, wrapping around the Ashen Father and hopefully ensuring his demise. She shouts over the turmoil to her companions as she turns to escape. “Fly you fools!” before making a mad dash for the opening that Mori had created. Obsidian shards exploded around her, and the hot air was burning her lungs as she ran. She couldn’t see Javal or Vail in the smoke, but she was certain they could find their own way out. There was something big coming, and she certainly didn’t want to be here when it happened. Scerns God Killer: Elemental Mastery: Ice A very powerful spell that was crafted by Scern and used against Ziev in the battle over the Sol Stone. To cast this spell, you must have made no offensive actions on your last post (nothing that intended to deal damage, injure, hurt or afflict some kind of negative effect). When you cast this spell, you target one enemy you see within 20 feet causing red hot burning chains to burst from the ground and wrap around the target. The target will take medium amounts of fire damage and be unable to make movement or take any actions (including casting spells) for their next two posts. This spell can only be used once per topic and cannot be used against Player Characters (unless permission is given).

Vail’s expression gives away his surprise as the Father suddenly releases his grasp on the censer. His arm slowly retracts with the censer in hand as the man speaks and slowly rises, his mellowed demeanor suggesting his intention to surrender to the party. As the room starts to shake even more violently, seemingly due to the madman’s final ramblings, the arm’s pace quickens, snapping back to its normal length. Gwen is quick to act, restraining the Father with chains of ice as Javal attempts to slash his way out of there. Knowing Gwen is occupied. Vail deals with the censer himself, sealing it shut with his hands and slinging it over his shoulder. With the madman now restrained, he looks towards the cold mist, a byproduct of Gwen’s magic, and offers a parting shot. “Burn with the rest of them.”He turns towards the light close to a wall, recognizing it as Javal’s blade, but suddenly stops as a lingering feeling begins to creep up from within him. Does he really get off this easy? How many have suffered from the title he wears so proudly? How many people live in fear due to power hungry cowards who hide in the shadows like him? He has a lot more to answer for than just these kidnappings and sacrifices; the entire city has suffered thanks to his false promises of grandeur. Every hushed whisper, every assassination, every betrayal… They all begin and end with the Fathers.
Vail glances back, his expression far colder than before, and lifts his hand slightly above the concentrated center of the cold mist. "Perish."A beam erupts from his arm, piercing through and mist and not stopping until it collides with the stone wall [1]. As the light fades from Vail’s hand, he turns back to Javal’s light, dashing across the room and into the hole the rest of the party fled through [2]. His instincts tell him not to dwell on his sudden lack of restraint, lest this volcano swallow all of them whole. Free action: Retracts Soft Body arm holding the censer and forces it shut.
Offensive actions: [1] Fires Art of Soul beam toward the restrained Father, aiming for the upper body + head.
[2] Dashes across the room and uses Gauntlets of Ginma.
Active Effects: [3/3] Art of Soul:
Art of the Soul - Some monks ignore the elemental energy of the world around them and instead harness their own raw spirit. You enter a unique trance for the next three post, increasing the range of all your martial attacks by ten feet. When you make an attack with a melee attack, such as a punch or sword slice, a wave of spiritual energy will be released from the attack, allowing the attack to become ranged. Once during this duration, you can channel all of the spiritual energy to fire out a 20 foot long beam of raw energy. This will end the Art early but will prevent any one struck by the beam from using spells or class abilities for their next post. [2/2] Soft Body:
For the next two post one of your limbs becomes incredibly stretchy, able to bend and form in very unnatural ways. It can extend up to three times its normal length and wrap around objects. This can be used to assault foes from afar or even restrain enemies with your limbs. You still take damage as normal while in this state. Equipped items: Gauntlets of Ginma [1/1] A pair of overgrown, magical gauntlets made of stone and covered in moss and small white flowers. These gauntlets provide one hit prevention, and allow the wearer to smash through stone as if it were glass, and lift natural boulders more than twice their weight. The abilities of these gauntlets will last as long as they have a hit prevention left.
Active Passives: Bull's Strength Tattoo - Double strength (Bare Hands) Holy enchantment - Fear effect on foe + Ally trust on impact. (Bare Hands) Dashing enchantment - Move across the room really fast Iron Grip - Brawler - Not letting go of that censer

The chains from Gwen's spell stolen from a cultist to use against much more formidable foes lash around the Ashen Father, tethering him in place and preventing any attempt at escape. Not that he had any such goals. This chamber was always meant to be his tomb, and he would do his damned best to have the foolish adventurers join him. He laughs as they struggle for survival. If only they knew what was coming, then perhaps they would have second thoughts about attempting to avoid the inevitable. A powerful beam strikes him in the chest, knocking the breath from his lungs and cutting his laugh off abruptly just before the ceiling above him cracks loudly and massive chunks of stone come crashing down all around him. Glancing back, they see nothing but debris, smoke, and the angry glow of splashing magma. The party of adventurers just barely manages to escape the collapsing chamber by smashing a hole open in the stone wall that previously sealed them within. Fissures race after them as they flee the chamber, the cracks spread quickly along the walls and break apart the intricate patterns scrawled along the polished surfaces. The ground shakes, the walls quake, and the ceiling trembles. It is all coming down. There is not a moment to waste, and as the party runs for their lives there is an intense heat that starts to grow all around them. The smell of brimstone and sulfur is overwhelming as the cracks release pockets of accumulated boiling gasses. Eyes sting and noses water from pushing through the clouds in the only direction to any chance at survival. The flaming nightmare steed is long gone by the time the party runs back out of the tunnel just in time to avoid being crushed as it collapses behind them. But things are far from over. Taking a moment to catch their breath, there's no time for celebration as the quakes intensify enough to knock them clean off their feet. Glancing up towards the peak of Mount Drakolt, they have front-row seats to the terrifying spectacle that is to come next as the volcano itself unleashes all hell upon the land around it.

Javal alongside Nadia sprints ahead as he feels the entire area around him and his friend attempting to collapse on top of them. He thought that something else was coming, something bigger, something even more evil than that old man they had just punished for his crimes. Javal tries to hold his breath as he passes through a cracked piece of wall that is oozing boiling gas. His eyes begin to tear up because of all the sulfur and heat, it looks like he has just finished crying.
Javal then jumps out of the tunnel, lands in front of the adventurer’s supposed tomb, and lands on his feet roughly. He bends his knees down to catch his breath wiping the sweat from his brow as well as running his hands on his crisply burnt fingers. His moment of relief is soon taken away as suddenly the quakes from earlier become more robust and bigger, knocking him off his knees and onto the ground below him.
His eyes widen as he sees something immersed in the volcano’s eruption, “What is that? That beast can’t be mortal, I-I’ve never seen something like that in my entire life. Is that what the cultist fellow was attempting to summon, did we fail?”
“No”, he grits his teeth standing back up on his feet with help from Nadia’s hand he coughs loudly still feeling the pain from inhaling the smoke from the battle, “We can do this my friends, god or terrifying primordial beast or not”.
He then places his right hand over his eyes and gazes towards the valley ahead of them, “Looks like we won’t be the only ones facing this monster” as he begins to see some familiar and not familiar adventurers pour in.
“Let’s not dally my friends”, Javal says a bit exhaustedly, “We have a dragon to crush, and so is the life of an adventurer”.
