Duty Session 132: Totally Typical Tomb

    Merek would of course want to try the new duties, picking up one from the board. He looks to it, and nods, putting his dark attire on and bringing Shadow Eclipse with him. When he comes to the place, he invites Jazuhanzu and Wisteria formally. "Alright, let's get right to it, we'll be assisting in freeing up the Graveyard for the Landers so they can do their peace," he notes, then nods. It's a nice little cemetary, not far from the cities. Then it looks like rats begin scurrying about from the tombs, squeaking, undead rats.

    Wistera smiles "These things are important to clear out." she says "It's still weird to me just how despite there not being bodies burried the undead still seem to be spawned or attracted or whatever to graveyards." she says and shrugs "But hey, weird stuff is weird and that's what I like to explore."

"I guess," agree Jazz with Wisteria. She's along for the ride. The first one she's been to in a while, actually. She still seems a little on the low-energy and fatigued side, if one is honest about it. "I did wonder about it," she concurs with Wisteria.

    "Alright, well let's work on it all," Merek notes, then nods a bit, while he begins to try and use the singing Song Magic to assist in the fight. He actually manages though he's not really trained in it a lot, trying to make the rats interested in coming to them while he nods a little.

    Wisteria nods, the tall albino girl not really bothering with her sword, instead for a horde of small breakable things she starts jumping and stomping, when her feet hit the ground spikes of earth shoot up around her then slide back into the ground. Each landing tosses bones like seat foam on stones in a fast tide.

"Rats? Why does it have to be rats?"

Jazz is more trhan a little annoyed by the fact that its /rats/ as they arrive in the tomb. Indeed, the horde of rats spilling out atq them just seems to *bother* her more than anything else. A mix of sprays of pressureized water conjured into existence and lightning applied by her due her pawrt for controlling the infestation.

    Merek would nod a little bit while the three of them manage to exterminate those little rats, the undead dealt with. He then looks to the chimera when they come upon that, "Ah, I will try to capture that," he then will use magic to try and begin assisting, "Alright, let's deal with the zombie chimera!" he would offer.

    Wisteria smiles at seeing the Zombie Chimeria. "Now see, this is the kind of weird stuff I'm talking about... sure undead, but why undead monsters in a lander graveyard? And why is it blocking the mausoleum?" she says, the Shadow using flashes of dark magic to help keep the beast back, she isn't really the catch the monster kind.

"Oh shit," says Jazz as the Chimera appears. She isn't prepared for something like that just yet! Blasts of water drive it back, buying her ebough time to try to capture it in a solid bubble of water and ice...

"There we are. No problems, I got it..." Ice cracks and splits open and the chimera bursts out of containment, knocking the slender, twee undine aside and sending her crashing into the wall.

    Merek looks then along to Jazuhanzu and back to Wisteria, "Alright, well it looks like we will not be winning," he notes, then he walks along to pick up Jaz by the side to kind of make a way to the mausoleum. When he notices that Wisteria fights, the man nods a bit, "Come on, let's get back!" Then, into the mausoleum. When they are in it, they can begin to finish off the creature which can't really make a way into the place.
    Then they come upon the amalgamation of the undead, while the man looks along in thought, "Well, that's. Ya, let's go with fire," the man would lift up a hand, "Ragnarok's Wisdom!"

    Looking down into the pit Wisteria then looks up to the ceiling. "Hmmm.... kinda like the slime king..." she says as she dodges fleshy psudopods. "Tremble Step!" She says with a straight kick to one of the support pillars causing a cascade of stones from the ceiling to start falling on the mass of zombie.

"Ugggh," says Jazz. She's short. Stairs are therefore annoying. She makes her way down their and sees the... pit. And the horrible flesh amallgmanation. While theothers are attaccking it, such as with fire from Merke, and Wisteria with her sword, Jazz stays back. Measured. She consdiers for a momoment and then closes her eyes to concentrate. There's a sound, like rushing water, as evnetually, a blast of it forces its way up from the earth, unlodging a piece of stone to crush a part of the creature with.

HEy, it worked, right?

    Merek would watch while the three of them manage to kill the zombie amalgamation, then he nods a bit to the party. "Well, that's a lot of magic, nice." The man looks to the shimmers of that zombie monster in red while he takes a moment to take on the next challenge with the team. Then they come upon the key, and a black flame while a voice begins speaking from the ceiling. "Alright, I'm going to try and you know, take it." The man then tries reaching into the flame!

    Wisteria looks around, trying to figure out the voice "Voice over? That's new for a puzzle room..." she says. A rumble of earth magic and the girl shifting into bun form at the same time presages a growl and a push that knocks the large stone pillar over. "Come on... help me with this and I bet we can just knock it down." she says using her werefang strength to lift the stone pillar leaving the key to burn whereever it ends up be it the ground or freezing Merek's hand.

"You're kidding, right?" says Jazz, looking up at the ceiling.

"Okay. When we get out of this stupid game, I'm just goinf to find whoever did that and kick them square in the ass." She pinches the bridge of her nose for a moment, looks at Wisteria, and then moves to help her. Believe it or not, she is definitely stronger than she looks.

... a little.

... she's still tiny, okay?

    Merek does watch while everyone looks to manage it. He then picks up the key while the two would take up the stone. He nods a bit in thanks, seeming to be a bit bit content in that, while he smiles. "Alright, to the next challenge in that," he would note, and when they come upon the Demilich, he nods a bit. "Well, looks like it's a lich, you know when it said Quest was Porcelain and we needed to make a Graveyard a little bit safe, I didn't think we'd be fighting you know, liches." Then he takes a moment to lift up a hand while he tries to draw a full divine shield upon people.

    Wisteria draws her sword. "Oooh now THIS is the kind of thing we need to get up to more." she says, black magic dancing down the blade. "Lets see who's got the stronger dark magics." she says. Sending slashes at the Demilich, aiming to damage the intricate spellwork keeping the soul trapped in that foul case that was once it's skull.

"...SOMEONE has been playing Tomb of Horrors when they wrote this. Gygax, you asshole."

Jazz lets out a sigh, seemingly unimpressed with the demilich. As Wisteria blade dances, Jazz wields her magics defensively, aiming to protect her from the worst of it.

Actually, she isn't even half bad aqt it, herself.

    Merek seems to be doing his best to protect people as well. Between the three of them, and with Wister's enchantment and a little bit of assistance from Jazz, they manage to take down the lich. Then there is that reward, which is bones. "You know, interesting." The man picks up one of them, "Well, we should tell the Landers that this place will be safe. I know there will be places like this along in the future to protect as well."

    Takes her own bit of necromantic detritus. "Well yah, this is the second graveyard I've helped clear. I'm sure we'll be seeing these.... I mean there's a whole army of undead out there." she says as she sheaths her sword shifting back to her human form and stretching.

"safe?" queries Jazz. "Maybe for a little bit before rea pawns. God, I really need some sleep..." She mutters, turning with a whirl of frillled skirts to depart.
