Hal Henderics

Psymund hands over his card, "Ultracorp Technology and Arms Dealing: Bringing you the Yesterday of Tomorrow's Today, Eventually!" "I run the bold business of Selling guns as cheap as they come for as cheap as I can, and then doing other tricks besides, for the right treats..." He smirks. "If you wanted legitimate, I am not your smuggler."

Psymund naturally follows. If a Gun is pointed at the back of his head, he will already have his own guns pointed at that source. He knows how the waltz goes.

--Alexandria-- Alexandria arrives at the next part of the path, a pile of boulders block the entrance, there is a camp of Lurkers to one side, a Blue Stairway to the other, Several Pools of a dark liquid dot the area, and those pools are surrounded with dark crates. The Camp has a broken stairway past it, and Jade is lurking around the edges of the Camp. The boulders blocking the temple entrance are covered in a black stain. --Mitsu-- Sitting in the chair, a set of goggles drops down, and putting them over her eyes, Mitsu sees a Point of View from high up, fiddling with the levers changes the direction of the Sight, and pulling them off, the Lens atop the pillar appears to be pointing in a new direction after her fiddling. Several other pillars are also around, presumably with the same purpose, there are Two that are extremely close by, one near the Temple in the distance, and one nearer the town. A few more are hidden in the trees trailing back to town.

Mar Flings Little Sneak at it, aiming for it's neck, and jerking at the chains if it misses to wrap the chain around it's neck and wedge the obsidian blade into it. "Andre, you wound me, admit it, you planned to take this one yourself!" Mar laughs, grinning widely as he guides the shuriken, jerking the chain around to stabilize the large molecular cutting projectile.

--Ritsu-- (9, 11) Going to the Smithy, She finds a stand outside, holding her new Armor. It has an Image of a lion Roaring on the front, And is made of Primary Precursor Metal, it's color has been altered somehow to match Ritsu's own Paintjob.

Jade arrives to see a trio of Strong Lurkers glaring up at the Red Path, which they cannot ascend due to it's staircase being ruined. They are too focused on Gary to see Jade's Approach, but they look rather tough.

Psymund Strolls up to the lady. Sliding past the crowd. Tipping his hat, he looks the lady in the eyes with his 3 eyes. "Now what's a Lovely Suspicious looking lady like you doing in a dump like this?" "You look like the kind of person who likes problems being solved and useful things trading hands. I happen to solve problems with my useful-thing-filled hands." "Want to have a chat?"

Mar Quickly Approaches, Little Sneak Possessing the Obsidian Shuriken, he wanders in the direction he heard the roar. Equipped Mod

Ok, I'll admit, that is really damn cool. Two thumbs up.

Psymund tips his hat and strolls in. His head bobs to the music as he enters, a grin slowly clawing it's way to his face. He heads over to the nearest Merchantile looking folks confidently.

Psymund walks up to the bouncer. "I'm here to sell a Harlequin Doll, guy called me up here, name was Davidson or something."

--Mitsu+Kino-- Mitsu goes to one of the Pillars, followed by Kino, it has a seat and various strange levers and such, made of metal and wood. They seem to correspond to a Lens at the top of the pillar, which is pointing in some off-direction. --Alexandria-- The Grassy Path seems mostly empty, aside from 2 Black Crates and a lot of Grass and Wood. There is also a River in the Distance, and what appears to be a correlating bridge across. --Jade-- (8, 16) Jade Fires the rounds into the log, splintering the wood and igniting it. (2, 9) Rolling off the Side, The Log is now on fire, spraying embers everywhere at advanced speed, and looks to be in no danger of breaking before Jade's Patience does... --Gary-- Using an Enderpearl, Gary takes 4 Damage, and teleports onto the Red Path. (10, 19) The Lurkers Notice, and look VERY upset at this development. Traveling down the Red Path, A Vent at the end spews out a Red Fiery Plasma. --Ritsu-- "Aye, I Could offer you the use of my Boat, or the Spoils of my next catch, Your friends seem to be flocking to the Grassy Path, Maybe I could take you to the river on my small boat?" "I'll be at yer service, Ma'm, And I do apologize.."

Mar strips the corpse into Bones/Claws, Muscles, Organs, and Skin/Scales with the shuriken after removing Little Sneak from the projectile, He infuses them with Life Mana to purge Bacteria and give it some softness, then Death Mana to Preserve it, then he encases them all in clear bricks of Arcanite and piles them on his Hide Cloak, which he uses like a Sled, dragging the Objects around as he searches for camp. If he Finds the Camp, he dumps off the Magic Encased Lizard Parts. He also gathers the Ore and Beehive, he uses Bop Fracture to crack that ore, then uses Chocolate Mana to afflict the Bees with Lethargy and Ill sensations to make them ignore his pilfering of a Comb and it's Honey. After this, he Seeks out the sound of the Roaring. "Hmm, Roars mean bigger beasts, which mean more bountiful hunting." Mar thinks to himself, practically overwhelmed with the thrills of nature once more.

"Little Sneak, I sincerely hope you do not suffer from Dizzyness. Mar whispers. Mar Cracks off a Shuriken from the Obsidian Biface, and, having the Little Sneak Possess the sharper than scalpel blade, Flings it at the neck of one of the creatures, guiding it with the chain trailing off.

Mar Groans, but can't hide a grin. "Just like Home." Mar Cracks the Ore Boulder and Fossil, obtaining an Ore Chunk, Ancestral Steppe Stone Shards, and an Old Fossil. He Shovels bugs into the (Magic Ward G) as well, before hopping down. Mar cracks the Heartless Metal Shard he has remaining into a Metal Bottle, and fills it with water from the waterfall. Mar then Checks the Pool of water for movement. Finally, He Examines the area for any other objects of interest.

Mar follows, Ready for the hunt with full stomach and open mind.

Mar Chooses to get a good meal, then marches over. Fish and Mead is his choice, the ideal meal for hunting in his opinion.

--Ritsu-- "Yah, It ain't much, but I feel awful sorry bout' that whole thing. I hope a Power Cell be adequate payment for yer services." He pulls one out of his pocket, and it levitates in the air. --Jade-- (1, 17) Jade goes up the blue path, and finds What looks to be a round vent spewing what looks like blue plasma interspersed with electricity. The problem is that a Giant Log covered in stakes is swinging back and forth over it, infused with the blue energy making it swing at inordinate speed, like a tape on fast forward. --Gary-- At the base of the Red Path, the Stairway is ruined beyond usage, no more than a wall of broken metal and stone, at the base, there is also a circle of hapahzardly strewn bones, a campfire, and 3 Lurkers, one of which holding a Spiked Club. They are wearing armor, and look much tougher than the riff raff so far. (8, 6) They have not seen Gary yet.

"Yes, this sounds appropriate." Mar nods politely.

--Ritsu-- "Yeah, word round the grapevine is that the fisherman wasn't all talk, we're real glad you helped out." He then mumbles "And I'm glad you got the big lunk to pay me." "Anyway, Your payment, as promised." He hands over 25 Precursor Orbs. "Also, over by the Inn, the Fisherman has a payment for you too, he is very thankful and a bit guilty, squeeze him dry, will ya hun? He DID shoot you after all, even if he claims it was an accident." --Jade+Gary-- The Dark Eco Crates Explode, Coating everything in a thin layer of Dark Eco... The rocks, aside from being covered in the black sludge, look no worse for wear. Maybe there might be another solution around here. Places of interest include the Blue Path, Lurker Camp, Broken Red Path, Dark Eco Pools, Weird Pillars, and Trees. --Alexandria-- The Secondary Precursor Metal makes for great repair material, if a substance could have personality, this one would be "Polite and helpful to a Fault." In fact, only about half the material is needed to repair her body with the shiny metal, and already it has the appropriate stress forces and properties to at least mesh with the contractions and effects of the Galvinium metal. Health Restored, Small Pile of Secondary Precursor Metal Remaining. It appears to be a small wand like rod, with a large disk attached to the side, like a blunt axe, several buttons along the sides are in recessed holes, fit for a pin to push, or perhaps, just really thin fingers? "Well, if I had to guess, this is a Precursor tool, though it's purpose, I'll admit is lost to me, I have another like it, but it is nonfunctional, and only zaps things." Testing it reveals 3 buttons of interest. The first one turns it on, and it emits a beam of slow blue lightning, when this targets something, it seems to lift it into the air once the energy completely surrounds it. Button 2 Rotates it one direction when pressed once, and in another direction when pressed twice in quick succession. Button 3 Rotates it another direction. It has no visible power source, though the center of the disk on it glows when it is active. It is too slow for any harmful combat usage, but has a fair range of about halfway across the room Alexandria is in. --Mitsu-- (3, 3) The Snakes don't like Mitsu, but that's fine, she does not like them either. She kills them with some difficulty, taking 1 Damage. (2, 4) The Lurker does not seem to care to share that fate, and escapes into the foliage... (14, 12) These crates have a much better bounty, carrying 9 Orbs in them.

Mar nods. "Yes, I am from out of town, looking forward to the fun of hunting, I haven't had the chance lately, and I'm not getting any younger." He chuckles. "Just waiting for a friend, then I'll take a better look at what's needed, can I get a short rundown of anything recent and interesting?"

She buries her hands in her head. "Oh god, I'm so sorry, I didn't know." "The Shopkeep can help, he wanted to pay you, right? I'll call in a favor at the smithy, It's the least I can do for you getting rid of that monster fish and getting hurt helping me..." She walks off, but stops. "Just head to the tool shop for your payment, and I'll have the Smithy get you a chestplate, Precursor Metal and everything!"

--Jade+Gary-- (18, 13) Jade's Luck is looking up, they touch the crates and it burns their skin, but with the legendary power of a stick they found on the ground, they push the metal boxes of sloshing liquid slowly over to the boulders. The stick is now purple, and has a small tentacle growing from it, covered in thorns...

--Ritsu-- "N-no, it should be almost as durable as you are, it's just that it is really visible. Precursor Metal is not that frail, and you can always wear armor or something." "A-as for Future complications, Precursor Power Cells integrate well, it would be pretty extensive, trying to remove it now." "I'm sorry I could not do more, Time was a pretty big issue from my preliminary scans. I could have been wrong, but at the time, my data said you didn't have enough time for traditional repairs." She bows her head, disappointment clear.

--Ritsu-- "Well, your power supply was completely crushed, so I had to replace it fast and dirty, or you would have shut down, because SOMEONE shot you by accident with that stupid harpoon gun that I TOLD him wasn't safe!" She backtracks. "Uh- It's y-your new power cell, they glow like that, and because of how they work, the spot they are installed is usually really visible, like, one time I put a heavy plate over one in a project and the plate had a glowing engraving on the spot after a f-few minutes..." She looks incenced. "It's a c-common problem, d-despite it's other miraculous uses... I just had to weld it in and it did all the rest!" Indeed, the spot where it was installed looks like it was made to be there, a clean metal ring surrounding a yellow glowing orb, the chassis around it seeming perfectly restored.

--Mitsu-- (14, 7) With ease, Mitsu's blasts do indeed discourage them, with death. She recovers health from the green tinged water left by the dead fish's explosions. She cracks open the second Scout Fly crate, 3 more to go. --Jade-- (12, 3) Bullets beat bugs without range, they are all shot down as they appear, and eventually, they stop appearing. --Alexandria+Ritsu-- Alexandria's Taunt Suceeds, the Fish is distracted for a mere moment as the Harpoon's air pressure gauge pops, and it misfires, stabbing both Ritsu and the Fish clean through... Everything passes by in a blur after that, and it is touch and go for a bit, before Alexandria calmly walks back into Lua's Lab, and Ritsu wakes up to a bright light emanating form her chest. Alexandria takes the liberty of carrying back 55 Precursor Orbs, a Pile of Secondary Precursor Metal, an Unknown Precursor Artifact, and a Power Cell. Lua Da scrambles in, slipping on loose papers, before picking herself up and walking over to the Operating table. "H-how are you feeling dear?" she asks, wringing her hands nervously.
