[i]After descending a few flights of stairs and following several signs, you arrive at the active labs. Fortunately, only one is in use, and a sign above the heavy set door to the lab reads ‘Dr Clay’. [/i]
-
*Adria opens the door.*
-
[i]You enter a massive square test room, with a high vaulted ceiling and smooth, tiled floors. The walls are thick and sturdy like the front door, but appear unblemished despite the strenuous testing. Along the sides of the room are numerous tables strewn with instruments of all shapes and sizes, each brightly lit by floating tongues of flame. In the center of the room is a large circle on the floor, suspending a massive obsidian sphere in the center. Clay stands before it, checking several notebooks, constantly glancing between it and the sphere, and doesn’t seem to have noticed your entrance. At one of the tables on the right sits a young girl, sketching and doodling in what appears to be an important tome. [/i]
-
*Adria looks at Clay and then at the girl and back at Clay again.* | Adria: “You needed an assistant?”
-
"Oh, yes! Sorry, I didn't hear you come in." [i]Clay turns around, hastily looking between his book and you.[/i] "Yes, I need some security while I perform my test."
-
Adria: “How so? Lock the door?”
-
[i]Clay chuckles.[/i] "No, a bit more than that. I'm going to be opening portals to the elemental planes, and the denizens of said planes might come through. I can't exactly deal with them while I perform the ritual, which is where you come in."
-
Adria: “Okay, just give me a second.” | *Adria rummages through her bag and pulls out her trident.*
-
"Excellent. Whenever you're ready, we shall begin." [i]Clay heads back to the sphere, and sets the books down in front of him so he can all four.[/i]
-
Adria: “I’m ready.”
-
[i]Clay cracks his knuckles, and begins the ritual. Energy begins to pulse from the sphere, followed by four portals opening around it to each of the elemental planes. Two grow brighter, and out comes a large fire elemental, looming like a pillar of flame, as well as a smaller earth elemental, more like a rocky goblin.[/i]
-
*Adria pokes the fire elemental with her trident.*
-
[i]You plunge your trident deep into the fire elemental, and it staggers from the blow. The earth elemental charges at you like a raging bull![/i]
-
*Adria is too busy trying to get her trident back.*
-
[i]The earth elemental plows you into the ground, but runs past and is unable to beat you while you're on the ground. The fire elemental begins to recover, still swooning from getting impaled by your trident.[/i]
-
*Adria debates wether to heal it or not. She then throws the trident at the rock elemental.*
-
[i]The trident hits, stabbing through its body. The gremlin fades into dust as it passes, leaving you alone with the large, hostile pillar of fire.[/i]
-
*Adria throws water at it.*
-
[spoiler]How much water?[/spoiler]
-
(A handful, don’t really know how to do it in ounces or at least properly that is)
-
[spoiler]Ah gotcha. Is it like a smaller blast of water or bigger like a fireball level attack?[/spoiler]
-
(Small, though it’s more like a water balloon in terms of size.)
-
[spoiler]Cool cool[/spoiler] [i]The water stings the fire elemental, but it stays together, and blasts you with a cone of flame![/i]
-
*Adria runs away.* | Adria: “I thought it would just turn into smoke!”
-
[i]The flame catches you as you retreat, causing moderate damage.[/i]
