Was it luck, that they survived?

No, it was fate!

Loose stones bludgeoned him from above, sand scattering down the sides of his hat, crackling against the electric-blue feather he had pinned to it, but it was enough to keep his vision unobstructed, enough that he could raise out an arm and grasp onto the spatial coordinates of the rocks tumbling down the ceiling and freeze them in place. They floated briefly, then crashed down a moment later, right as Magi slipped out from beneath them.

Perhaps she would have been fine either way, but a kid was a kid, doubly so if that kid was a friend of Seigi's. That was all the personal attention he could afford, however. With the deaths of the Basilisks, all that remained was the retrieval of those once incapacitated by the Gazer itself. But the collapse was speeding up, and desperate measures were being taken in every which direction. Aloe exploded into herself, her desperate bid to utilize that strange stone she possessed failing at a critical juncture. Yugam unleashed the entirety of his strength against the mountain of rubble, while Luthien recovered the Goddess of Victory. Zelrius leapt through the opening in the rumble, hot on the heels of Nymoria, and Moonsong rushed as well, her burdens weighing her down until an echo of the Flagbearer's verse sent her stumbling forwards and out of that tomb.

Which just left the lion-faced brave and the starfallen savior now.

"Nyancy!" Cain called out. "Take the one off to the side! And Magi, get out of here before it all comes down!"

They weren't going to be able to get everyone out on time, but that was fine. The Flagbearer, after all, was the first to enter and the last to leave, and so long as there were others inside, he was obligated to remain.

You can use these rolls to substitute one of you or your allies' d100 rolls at any moment, you may also change one of the damage sources you or an ally will receive by the dice result.

The bruised pinkette had seemingly just missed a flattening. Her reflexes dropped having consumed so much energy in such a short time. It was @Cain Darlite, who also was urging her to escape.

Yet with each step, the Dark Heart stalled. Confliction claiming her. Her arm still limp it would take time for it to be functional again without any outside healing sources and those were not coming. The one who had healed her, and been following her in a way during this escapade was @Aloe.

These people were pulling out the suffering so that they may live,awaken and suffer more.
Wendel wanted to use a last bit of energy to make it harder. To keep them from leaving...

The girl from West Oaks, and the miracle making Magia here. There were things that could have developed from this but both of them were at completely different points in their respective lives. A story for children tends to end happily, but it never did for Wendy. Better to leave it in the between lines and let things be.

Those who want truth seek it and often are saddened by it.

@Luthien ran past bringing the magia angel through. Magi blinked, and shook her head. She shifted beside the muse and thought to say something but did not. Rather, Wendel turned and left this story behind. Fiction or non-fiction, no more words needed to be reserved for her.

For a moment, Nyancy thought she was a goner. Then whether it be luck or divine intervention, she wasn't crushed. Still, this was no time for the small Felis to be cheerful, the whole room still stood to completely collapse any second.

Turning to @Cain Darlite Nyancy shouted.

"Don't worry, I got him! Just make suah ya that dooah don't close befoah I get theyah!"


Grabbing the remaining victim, Nyancy threw him over the shoulder.

"Talk about ah workout! Really gettin' my steps in today. Well, whateva, if you want tah be a hero ya gotta act like it! Time tah be a hero Nyancy, and hero's don't get crushed undah rocks like these!"


With the man on Nyancy's shoulder, Nyancy charged forward through the rubble while talking to the victim to reassure them.

"Don't worry thea chaymp! Wea gonna make it! I gotcha!


Scrambling through the falling rubble, Nyancy rushed through the rubble, man in tow.

Pick up remaining victim and escape through C5

Unfolding the Unknown
The cave roared, trembling and shaking with all power. Another pillar had fallen, and the Starcalled had no more time to lose, having that place supporting all its weight on a single unstable pillar that could fall at any moment.

Debris fell, rocks blocked the path, and the safety of the hostages was one of the main concerns. They group continued to give everything they could, pushing the obstacles out of the way, forcing their path through, and...

"... In the last moment, the heroes pulled forth with the last of their strengths, with all effort they could muster, they managed to take the hostages away from the danger, escaping from death, and the depths of the Eternal Gazer's lair..." The woman said, with the sphere on her hands flickering and slowly fading, leaving a gentle trail of starry sparkles before disappearing entirely.

"Fin." She smiled at the little girl.


"Oooooh--!" The girl's eyes sparkled, clapping a handful of times while fidgeting on the armchair. "They are so cool, they really did it! I knew they could do it since the start, though!"


"You knew, huh? Of course they would, having you helping them out-" The woman squinted, grabbing the little girls cheek and tugging it playfully before standing and huffing a chuckle.


The girl giggled, rubbing her cheek and blinking when noticing the woman going away. "Hey, Auntie, where are you going? I want another story!"


"Another? Let the heroes rest a little more..." The woman shook her head, pushing the kitchen's door open.


"But Auntie..!" She protested, rushing right behind the woman.




Slipping out of the lair, the Starcalled group had managed a escape. Wounded and hurt, they now had the task of bringing the fallen adventurers and explorers back to their homes and factions... Though, it was strange.

Time had passed, the combat was done, and yet, none of them seemed to have their avatars disappearing because of a logout...

An echoing rumble echoed from the depths, something that would catch the attention of those with a particular... Sensibility to the unknown... But it was time to go back home. That could be seen later on...

Cycle 6


The third pillar collapsed. Everyone that was still in the room received 15 physical damage (Affected by modifiers, 8 if protected, 30 if vulnerable, 60 if ultra vulnerable).

The collapsing ceilings dealt 30 physical damage (Unaffected by modifiers).

If your character died with this damage, they managed to save the remaining hostages that were just at the exit, but unfortunately, they couldn't escape the falling debris themselves. If your character didn't die with this damage, they managed to escape carrying the remaining hostages at the last moment.

Being brought by the heroes back to safety, the hostages are going to be successfully cured by healers that were capable of using all their power to dispel the powerful curse (by using Surge Armor Action along with Inspiration Bonuses of course).

When the cure occurred, most of them disappeared immediately, like one would when logging out. a couple, however, seemed to be struck with a horrible surprise, they no longer could access their UI.

"Oh gosh we did it… we’re finally out of there." A sigh of relief escaped the blonde’s lips as she helped @Aloe walk over to a place that the magia could use to rest. "Really, what were you thinking doing that little stunt of yours—"

It was then she heard the now familiar sound of stone grinding against stone, realization causing the elf to pause her speech before a cold chill ran up her spine. She quickly turned towards the exit from which the ranger and others had managed to filter through,aware of at least two figures that were still missing, before her voice cried out for them.

"@Yugam! @Moonsong! Get out of there, quick—!" Her warning came a breath too late, a third pillar in the room collapsing as it allowed additional parts of the ceiling to crumble and fall onto the room from which others were still trying to escape. "Yuuu?!"

They were almost out of there. The travelers prioritized the petrified adventurers and explorers first, but just as the third pillar finally collapsed, so did the ceilling, almost burying her and @Yugam who was still in the room.

"Yugam! Moonsong! Get out of there, quick—!"

There was a lot of smoke and dust kicked up, almost impossible to tell if they made it out at the last possible second or not. But just a second later, Moonsong walked out with a strained face, maintaining a ball-shaped gravity field around her and the man. "We're fine, Luth." She stumbled forwards before leaning herself onto a wall, panting. "I'm just gonna need a minute to rest. Maybe two."

There was a rush, as everyone pushed towards the exit, hoping to escape the collapsing tunnel. Nymoria felt her heart beating - not with fear, but excitement of the closeness of it all. The risk of death, the whisper of loss. All of it was so close.

As she broke through the final edges and into the tunnels, she let out a whisper of a breath, turning to those who had made it out with a death defying grin. Her voice shook with the adrenaline, but her eyes were filed with a fire that bespoke the enthusiasm she was feeling in the moment.

Looks like we made it...I think. Definitely a close one there! That was...that was definitely fun, though...


She turned back to face the rocks, wondering what would've happened if she'd been just a few seconds too slow.

As @Luthien laid Aloe down and spoke to her, Aloe's eyes formed two great comical swirls as smoke poured out from her halo. She had a single hp to her name thanks to her heavy armor, but otherwise seemed to be doing fine, if a little rattled and worse for wear.

"...I coulda been a contender~"

Alore warbled out in a dizzy voice as she raised her hand and began to heal Luthien with her shakily held aloe die rod.

"...Lucky rallyyyyy... ...yayyyy~"

Rising, she followed after Luthien, her savior, like a zombie to meet the rest of the group and continued to pass out heals in delirium.

"...Lucky... ralllly... yay~ yay~ yay~"

Her voice became quieter and quieter, like a person imitating an echo of themselves for fun until finally...

"... Just leave... leave it all... to your big.... Ssssss~"

Aloe passed out on her feet; one arm raised with two fingers extended in the V of victory. She stood, seemingly frozen in time, like the ending of The Breakfast Club as her head slumped and a snot bubble formed. Aloe had suffered a mind down and was now fast asleep.

"Honk snuuuu~ Honk snuuu~ I'm the g~ of v~ mimimimimi~"

All is well that ends well, for our magia angel. Free to drift blissfully in a dream.

-60 HP - The room is collapsing!
-30 HP - Ceiling bonk!



"Yugam! Moonsong! Get out of there, quick—!"

For a moment, no sounds came from the collapsed entrance, just billows of dust and debris that made it impossible to see further into the collapsed room.

"We're fine, Luth."

The two stepped out of the smoke a moment later, Yu coughing into a fist and waving away the dust with a look of disdain on his face, @Moonsong beside him, who'd conjured a protective barrier around them. The pair both slumped against the nearest wall, Yu slowly sliding down it to sit on the floor as he caught his breath. Aside from scrapes, bruises, and Moonsong with her dangerously low HP bar, they were both ok.

"Ey, thanks," the man said, looking up at Moonsong with an exhausted look. "I owe you one."

The man then closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the wall peacefully.

"Ah, gamoto!" Yugam's eyes suddenly flew open as he turned to @Luthien . "We never found Beleg's goddamn package!"

A puff of dust and debris spilled out of the opening the group had used to escape, blocking her eyes and causing the elf to cough as her worry increased. Lúthien had been about to call out again when the familiar voice of @Moonsong reached her ears, before the songstress and the hunter finally appeared. "Oh, thank Gwyndolainn… you both had me worried!" A hand had raised to rest against her chest, finally feeling the beating of her heart begin to slow down, before it unconsciously reached for the whistle and fiddled with it quietly.

@Aloe’s burst of healing magic, along with the magia’s softly spoken words, caught the ranger’s attention next—but the blonde’s attempts to have their little Goddess of Victory sit down and rest fell on deafened ears as Aloe continued on towards the others of their party. Eventually the magia would consume all of her energy, suddenly pausing as if stuck on a pose, before the recognizable sounds of snoring coming from the pinkett signaled she was out like a light.

"Sleeping while standing, that’s quite the skill—"
"Ah, gamoto!"

The sudden outburst of @Yugam had the elf turning to look at the man with a concerned look on her features, before his next words caused her eyes to widen as Lúthien was reminded of the little side mission their League superior had requested of them. "La puta madre..." The free hand rose to rest against her forehead as the blonde cursed in her native language, crimson eyes finally turning to look at the room once more to confirm what they both already knew.

There was no way anyone was getting to that package now, not unless the League found a new route into that room—and even then there was no guarantee that whatever was inside of the parcel would’ve survived unscathed with the cave-in they’d just witnessed.
