open Bloodbath on the red x

Crimson rubbed his cheek and scoffed, "fine jeez! But just for the record, that weird ball with wings was almost more annoying than that sponge...almost...now let's get going!" Said crimson hurridly.

 

((Lol, I LOVE elder scrolls! I really want a computer to play ES online And btw CHEESE!!))

"True, but it seemed like it knew the way out of here. Also, I wanted it to keep your tentacled lawyer away from us so it served it's purpose!" Cosmo replied, "Sorry Crimson, it's just that skinny... thing... I had a really bad feeling about it. Like you said let's keep moving."

(Oh god... Double oh god... First off, apparently Bethsda changed a lot of the backstory details in the series, the lore, and my brother is way too into that stuff. He never stops whinning about all the things ES Online changed about the game history. Also, do you play Skyrim? If you have it on consoles it's... Ok... I can't play it without mods anymore. I have too many great mods on it.)

(OoC: Just a word of warning: if you kill RD, Swordpoint WILL try to kill you. It WILL be a battle to the death, with no ifs, ands, or buts. Granted, you can do as you please, but there will be consequences for taking the easy way out.)

 

Rainbow sighed. "Great. Just great. Because this is really what I want to be doing." She glanced at Stone. "There's gotta be some way out of this. Maybe if we just play along he'll let us go." She turned back to the announcer. "Alright, bring it on!"

 

Swordpoint

@

 

Swordpoint jumped up beside Sole. "We must synchronize our movements. I have experience in such combat, thankfully. Try not to make sudden movements and I should have no problem staying synchronized." He turned to the approaching ponies as they emerged from the brush, covered in tribal markings and war paint. He held up the dagger and smirked. "Come on, then. You shall fall."

 

As the ponies bore down upon him, Swordpoint ducked and sliced open the neck of the nearest one. His knife easily tore away the flesh, sending a shower of blood spurting out.

((sorry for taking so long to reply, I've kinda been distracted lately.))

 

Sole growled angrily and tugged on the chain as hard as he could, pulling swordpoint back, while dodging an attack. "Listen. We may be working together, but that doesn't mean I'll let ya kill anypony. Try to take them down without taking them out!" He said, as he kicked one in the head, knocking him out.

[Away 2,077]

"Because I wanted to see the world. Everything's so beautiful from a palace window. Sounds so interesting to read about. And I thought I knew I'd be in no danger. I was wrong. Why'd yoi xome?" She atopped in front of an intersection. She thought for a moment and turned right, gesturing him to follow.

"I needed the money. Being an independent musician is kinda hard." Max responded with a light smile, trying to ease the mood. He followed her through the complex maze, constantly looking back just in case. He remained close to the dark colored mare. "So what do you do back home?" Max asked as politely as possible, trying not to seem like he was trying to pry into her life.

"I study the ways of the night, her blessings, and her teachings," she smiles, "I wouldn't have it any- what was that?" A purple magical outline appeared around her sword as her eyes glew the same color. A rustling sound came from the bushes near them, and out popped three timberwolves. They weren't very big yet, probably not more than pups.

Swordpoint groaned as he was shocked again. "You do realize they mean to kill us, yes?!" He placed his hooves on the ground and forced himself to stand. "Very well. But if you are killed or harmed, I will not hesitate to take their lives." He placed his dagger back behind his wing and grappled the nearest pony. He jumped backwards, flipped over, and slammed the pony into the ground.

 

(What's the deal? I thought Sole liked killing and stuff. Plus, they're, uh, kinda trying to kill US!)

[~Sole~ 852]

((No! What gave you that idea? He used to like killing, a long time ago. But he hates it now, even killing fodder pisses him off. Sorry, that's just his character.))

 

Sole nodded and ducked annother swing from an enemy "works for me! Just don't kill them if at all possible! They don't need to die, we can just neutralize them!" He said, as he kneed the enemy in the gut.

Crimson chuckled, "I agree, it was very...unnverving for some odd reason, but nevermind that for now, we should decide which direction were going to follow, there are many directions that lead you into danger, but few that don't, I've read that this trial is escpecially made for unicorns and magic users, but the monsterous creatures in the jungle also pose a problem for earth ponies and pegasai as well..." said crmson absentmindedly as he navigated through the brush of the dense jugle.

 

((Just so you know, we just left the beach and were now in the jungle...resist...urge...to play...welcome to the jungle...))

Cosmo starts singing to himself, "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. Awimbua, oh buck my flank, a manticore," he sings as he brushes some vines aside to find a sleeping manticore, his voices maintaining the same plain tone, "And if he sees us, we'll have a problem so lets sneak away, a-llll-riiiight?" he asks Crimson who obviously agrees quietly. When they're a safe distance away, Cosmo looks down at the island and asks, "Do you think this bucking funny?!"

Crimson chuckles quitely, "I sure find it pretty funny, but I don't think the island will answer you, trust me I've tried..." said crimson half jokingly.

 

The host of the odd gameshow smiled widely and pulled out a stack of cards, "its time for your first questions! Let's get started, shall we? Miss dash, have you ever killed anypony?" Asked the host in a creepy tone with a shit eating grin.

"An answer wouldn't be the craziest thing we've seen..." Cosmo responded, "Wait... You've been here before?! I thought you just knew about this, not that you've actually been here! How the buck do we get off?!" Cosmo's mind was racing, and it kept returning to Lyth, and his concern for her safety. "That bucker Umbra has to think something of me if I got paired with Crimson and he probably saw if not heard my confession to Lyth... Damnit Umbra if she gets hurt..."

Crimson shook his head, "I haven't been here, when I said I've tried, I meant on other islands, some old legends claim that old islands can speak with pirates and sailors who are wise enough for their words, but its very rare and many say its impossible, but my modo is nothings impossible! Not one single thing..." said crimson as he continued through the brush of the jungle.

[TheBreech 91]

"Yeah, yeah... Ok Mr optimist... Sounds like they've never talked to you. Seriously, most ponies don't do well when in their opposite element. I can't cast spells as effectively in light and you seen how freaked out Stone got around water. How does a fire Unicorn manage to be so comfortable with so much water..? Hell, I tend to have a better affinity with water and I'm uneasy." Cosmo also continued, "You know how to find a master of shadow element magic?"

Crimson smiled, "well personally cosmo, I've been asking myself the same question for a long time now, but I just can't help myself, I love being on the ocean! Maybe its because I grew up right next to it or because I wasn't born an elemental, but one things for sure, my destiny is linked with the ocean...but as for your other question..." crimson frowned, "I only know two...but their both cruel, hateful, evil, monsters with no regaurd for life..." said crimson bitterly.

"...actually, the answer is you don't, they're too stealthy... that was going to be a joke... Shadow magic isn't always dark by the way. I'll never allow myself to turn evil but I'm already a shadow magic user. Stealth and illusions are our specialties, not kidnapping and torture..." Cosmo felt like this was an inappropriate conversation, so he asked, "Do you know we get these coll," he was interrupted by the roar of a Hydra, smelling her new prey. "...Night give me strength... Crimson, you call. Fight or flight?" Edited July 28, 2013 by TheBreech

A purple magical outline appeared around her sword as her eyes glew the same color. A rustling sound came from the bushes near them, and out popped three timberwolves. They weren't very big yet, probably not more than pups.

Max nearly froze when the three timberwolves leaped out, despite how small they were. He hastily started searching for his knife but somehow couldn't find it. After turning up empty, he quickly turned his head back only to horrifyingly discover that it was laying on the ground just several feet behind him. "Dammit! How did I not notice when I dropped it?" Max thought in frustration. Looking back at the young timberwolves, he questioned whether he should go back to retrieve it. "Uh Lyth, what do we do? I dropped my knife."

Crimson grinned, "actually I'm pretty bored, and this thing should make for a great warm up, so let's go kick some hydra ass!" Said crimson before rushing in the direction of the hydras roar. After a few moments, crimson spotted the hydra and charged it, laughing like a maniac as he unsheathed helios and began slicing at the hydra.

She cursed in an ancient language. A long stream of these curses came out, and Max got the feeling that the next time he dropped his weapon he would not be walking straight for twenty-four hours. "Get behind me and try not to die," she finally growled, waiting for the timberwolf advance. One jumped at her, and with a great swing she bisected it. With a few more quick motions it was a pile of saw dust. However, the other wolves had flanked them and begun to circle.

(Join in? Who was it that made the thing? )

Cosmo tested his magic on Altair, and found he was able to get a solid grip on the sword. "Excellent," he said as he approached the beast, clearly visible. One of the heads tried to grab him but Cosmo jumped aside in the last few seconds, then climbed it's head. Immediately remembering his magic was screwed up, rather than ride it back to the other heads, he stabbed at several sensitive nerve points, causing it to frenzy. Cosmo was thrown off quickly and hid in the brush. Unable to find Cosmo and too impatient to locate Crimson, the head went and attacked one of it brothers before the others noticed and killed him. The head he'd attacked was temporarily wounded, if they could act quickly, it wouldn't be able to assist its brothers before they were killed. Cosmo went to Crimson and began helping him, "The moment we get these collars off, I'm teleporting a boulder to orbit, and making it hit this place as a bucking meteor!"

Rainbow recoiled. "Have I... killed anypony? Well... I guess yeah, technically." She threw up her hooves. "But it wasn't in cold blood or anything! I did what I had to do!"

 

(OoC: This is true. There's a scene in my fanfic where a royal guardian attempts to use a healing spell, but the spell turns on him and eats his body away like an acid. Rainbow slits his throat as an act of mercy. Oh, yeah, and she killed Rail's men who captured her during the tournament.)

Crimson quickly dodged some oncoming attacks from the hydra, before slicing its head down the middle and chuckling at cosmo's frustration, "ok cosmo, if you think that'll work I won't stop you, but it'll be a miracle just to survive this island and live to mock it!" Said crimson before attacking the hydra once more.

 

The host chuckled monotonously and nodded, "correct! Now miss stone, have you ever stolen from the poor? Answer honestly now, remember, there's a pool of lava beneath you!" Said the host before laughing once more.

Swordpoint

 

@

Swordpoint sighed. He had taken Sole for a killer, but he had apparently misjudged. Not that he was a fan of bloodshed, but he certainly had no problems with killing in self defense. "On your left!" he shouted to Sole as he jumped and spin kicked several of the tribal ponies. They fell quickly.

 

 

(OoC: So, Sole, do you want to have their "strange magic" be used in their combat, or should it just be something we see them doing outside of combat? Like, say, we sneak up on one of their camps.

 

@

And dude, you need to start mentioning people in your posts. I missed your last one with the announcer because it was just thrown on at the bottom of Crimson's thing. I only skim posts that aren't entirely relevant. Once I get the basic idea, I move on.)

Cosmo still just ranting, venting all his frustration so his fighting would remain controlled, "...rules be damned, it going to be Tom. He isn't doing anything anyway, might as well give it a purpose..." A head caught him off guard and swallowed Cosmo in one gulp, sending him straight to the stomach. The beast seemed content then all the heads started squirming with discomfort before they began shrieking in pain. Suddenly, a huge pitcher of some red liquid with appendices, a face, and shorts, burst out shouting, "OH YEAH!!!", with Cosmo floating in the liquid, the visible burns from stomach acid quickly healing. As the last of them vanished the pitcher did too leaving Cosmo healed, but dropping him with a thud. As he looked at the Hydra's corpse, Cosmo asked, "What... How'd you kill it?" confirming his unconscious state while floating in the potion.

(Just to clarify, the liquid was a healing potion, and I won't explain the pitcher man. You should know him )

Crimson raised an eyebrow in amusement, "uh...I didn't kill it, you did...with a pitcher...which is weird...yet funny...but next time you should keep your guard up better or you could seriously get yourself killed one of these days..." said crimson with a calm yet steeled expression.

Stone grunted, she looked below her. "I need to think about this....it's hard to remember...." She lied. She's done it before but she couldn't be truthful either. "Um....no" she said slowly.

 

(She's stolen a gem for one of he sculptors, a old hobo pony had on but was passed out in a park. So stone took the apportuniity)

Max, who was still without a weapon, looked at Lyth in hopes that she would take care of the other two wolves as well. He stood absolutely still, trying not to make any sudden movements or really do anything at all to provoke the timberwolves any further.
