Re: Quest: The Stone Mountain Journey

" Well, Draylon, looks like we need your help."

[Leroy Ridran]

OOC: Draylon hasn't been posting much lately, I'll try to find out why...

[Orion Flame-eye]

OOC- Maybe no time?

[Draylon Redtip]

OOC: SOrry about the no posting, but i can only post alot on the weekends.

[Orion Flame-eye]

OOC- Okay.

[Draylon Redtip]

Draylon looked at the wounded pair, and fell down laughing. "You think i'm going to carry you up this rock wall?" He continued laughing. "Oh, man, no way... not in a million years!" Draylon stoped laughing abruptly. "I am willing to lead the way, and kill anything I don't know personally. Otherwise, you're on your own."

[Leroy Ridran]

"Uggh."

[Orion Flame-eye]

" The only way is up." Orion replied and threw a rock silently at Draylon's head.

[Leroy Ridran]

Leroy smiled and did the same.

[Orion Flame-eye]

" Well, what are we to do?"

[Draylon Redtip]

Draylon crouched to pick up some rope, and the rocks flew over his head. He turned. "I'll tell you what you're going to do. Find a way up." Draylon threw the grappling hook up to a small ledge, and climbed up.

[Orion Flame-eye]

" How am I supposed to do that if almost half my body is broken?" Orion asked.

[Leroy Ridran]

"We could wait down here, screaming at the top of our lungs for help. Or we could wait down here and die a silent death. Or we could scream so long that we lose our voices. In which case we would have done both."

[Orion Flame-eye]

Orion took out his sword and swung it at a gem shard that was sticking out. The base cracked and Orion took the gem. " I've got an idea." Orion tied a rope to the gem shard and threw it into a crack. He pulled on it to make sure it was stable. " We could keep doing that, and slowly climb up."

[Leroy Ridran]

"Dear lad, I don't know if I am up to it. I am quite injured." Leroy's voice was calm considering the situation.

[Orion Flame-eye]

" We still have to try, unless you want to die down here." Orion tied another rope to a shard and lodged it into a crack and climbbed onto a low ledge.

[Leroy Ridran]

"Well, alright. Throw me the rope down." Leroy said holding out his hand.

[Orion Flame-eye]

Orion tied the rope from the shard to a rock and passed it down to Leroy. " I'll help you up." Orion held on to the rope, ready to help pull Leroy up.

[Leroy Ridran]

Leroy tied it tight to his waist and grabbed it. "Alright, now could you pull me up?"

[Orion Flame-eye]

" Or, I could do this." Orion made a pressured gust of fire below Leroy's boots which sent him flying into the air a few centimeters. Orion yanked at the rope as Leroy was in midair and was now almost at the ledge. " You can help climb too you know..."

[Leroy Ridran]

"Yes, but then I wouldn't be lazy." Leroy said, and clambered the rest of the way up. He glanced around on the ledge, and saw that it was fine. "Alright, where to next?"

[Orion Flame-eye]

Orion pointed to a ledge to the upper right, just within reach. Orion flung the rope and the crytal shard got caught in between two rocks. Orion pulled on it to make sure it was fine and swung over, grasped the rope with one hand while using his foot to get a foothold near the ledge. Orion let go of the rope which swung to Leroy and climbbed onto the ledge.

[Leroy Ridran]

"I take it we are going up..." Leroy mumbled, and grabbed the rope. He slowly clambered up until he was level with Orion.

[Orion Flame-eye]

" Well, when I was falling, I saw a dark openning at a ledge somewhere above us." Orion jumpped with one leg and grasped an out jutting rock with a hang. He swung his foot so that it swung onto a nearby ledge above them.

[Leroy Ridran]

Leroy did the same, so that he was standing carefully next to Orion. "You do realize that that could be the entrance the the fabled Stone Mountain Caverns?"
