[center][h1][b][color=9370DB]Nyana/Hikari[/color][/b][/h1] [h3][i]??? — Mosslit Cavern[/i][/h3][/center] Well, it at least seemed that the poor armored man was aware of the terms a certain 'mage' was using. Then again the mage guy was trying to explain things....not that she felt it was the best way to go about it for people waking up IN ANOTHER WORLD nessecarily. But what was the perfect approach then? Eh. She could've done better too, she supposed, though personally it felt gamelike enough that she didn't feel too much panic or anxiety about it all for the time being. Not much at least. So perhaps an apology was in order then. Nyana did, however, refuse to acknowledge the gibberish that kinda sounded like Spanish of some kind? She didn't speak it, but she'd heard others speak it often enough to get the gist of it being that sort of thing perhaps. [color=9370DB]"Sorry for the fussing then, but...yeah, this isn't pretty normal or anything. Not sure if everyone on that plane would be familiar with this sort of thing or genre at that."[/color] [quote=Confused Armor Guy]"I agree with the knight, through, we should find our way out of here. We'd better be very careful, though."[/quote] This guy had a head on his shoulders, even if she didn't know his name as of yet. Still was a small comfort to know someone else was wanting to see if they could get out of where they were and to actual sunlight though. Albeit they'd need to be careful, yes, depending on what lived in here. If it was a giant sleeping dragon, though, she was not going to be around for one of them to accidentally wake it up! That sort of stupid aggro-pulling was not her forte, and it didn't seem they had a healer on their hands either for that matter. Yup. A bunch of potential DPS and Tanks....totally the best comp for a spooky cave dungeon. Nyana would gently run a hand along some of the wall moss as they walked along, trying not to damage it but also to listen to how it brushed against her gloved and armored hands. It was a beautiful litte glow it seemed to have, at least once that meadow was gone, but overall was still just as strange as it could be to her she supposd. It shouted 'unnatural', and yet for all she knew something like this was back on Earth. Hmm. Pushing such things toward the back of her mind as they moved along, however, Nyana took pause and stopped as they entered the new section of the cave. Her shadowed and hidden face, then, swiveled about to look at the details of it carefully before anything else as MMO and game knowledge seemed to kick in somewhat for her. [quote]The other branching path would eventually lead to a small alcove—one that appeared to be rather empty at a glance. The main path from which the two diverged, however, seemed to open up into a more spacious area. This new section of the cave seemed a fair deal more barren, but a quick glance around would little more than the presence of a simple wooden chest and a few odd indentations along the stone wall.[/quote] Odd indentations, a wooden chest with a fantasy-esque chest lock on it, and all of that barren space between them and the chest itself. She could already hear the meme describing the whole situation inside of her head at that. It's a trap! Because duh, it looked like a trap to her at the very least. Not that everyoone in the world might notice such, but ah....eh, it was what it was she supposed. [quote=Jase]"'Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.'" "Unless someone knows how to make a light, I suggest we try gathering some of that moss in the last cave and bring it in here to see if we can find any tripwires. Or don't they have traps in isekais?"[/quote] Well, Jase the Cold Water Thrower was aware of what this room looked like as well. Good. The more they were all aware of this, the better they could get past it perhaps. Beause this was nothing but a trap. A trappity trap trap tra- [quote=Vrelenor]"Yeah, this is screaming trap, probably something nasty in those indentations just waiting for us to get closer, either that or something triggered by the opening the chest. My new eyes seem to be seeing pretty well in this light and I don't see anything, but the triggers could easily be inside the chest itself, or even some magical sensor. Our best bet is probably to have whoever's toughest walk carefully inside while the rest of us watch their back, if that doesn't trigger anything we can take a closer look at the chest. Before we try anything though, what are we working with if something does ambush us? My skill is Ice Magic, sounds like it could get interesting eventually, but for now it's basically just shooting sharp icicles and jets of frost which could slow something down."[/quote] Holy mother of dialogue. Did this guy know how to-....never mind. Never mind. Look, it was good he was seming to think of ways to try to help, but at the same time he could have not just blurted it all out. But even so, the idea of the 'tankiest one walks in and we see what happens' felt like not the best of ideas. It was obvious, yes, but that was what the makers of the trap wanted, yes? For someone to just walk into it? They needed a better plan, though, and so perhaps- [quote=Jase]"So shoot an icicle at it," he said with a shrug at Vrelenor. "Something with some heft to it. If it's boobytrapped, we can see what it does."[/quote] Eh? [quote=Vrelenor]"I'd rather not do that unless we don't have any other option, if I can hit hard enough to smash the chest, then I'd probably also ruin anything inside it, an it might well be those indentations that we need to worry about anyway."[/quote] [quote=Confused Armor Guy]"Would it be possible for you to shoot ice with less force?" "If need be, I could prod for triggers from a distance with my weapon. And if I am interpreting my skill correctly, I might be able to jump over the traps, but that wouldn't help if the chest has a trigger or a trap of its own."[/quote] Whew. Blowing the thing apart was one way to perhaps mess things up royally for themselves, depending on said chest contents or the like, though the possibility of a pressure trigger under the chest was maybe there as well? Hmm. They didn't need to overthink it, but perhaps those indentations would be the key. Perhaps have icy guy put his skills to the test and try to plug up those holes, while Jase went and got some moss to light up the way and potential tripwires? Yeah. Jase's less-inane suggestion, to her mind that was, combined with that approach could do it. She just needed to say something. [quote=Confused Armor Guy]"What about you?" he asked the knight. "Do you have a skill or ability that might help us here?"[/quote] Nyana quickly pulled up her status screen again to check things, before quickly closing it again with a sigh as she got her answer. Perhaps this guy's skill would be more useful in this place? Though again they'd need to deal with the indenations and such as well. Get some light in here. Etc. So it wasn't too cut and dry, though her 'skill' wasn't going to be a help unless it involved tanking damage perhaps. [color=9370DB]"Not unless I want to jump out there and get shot with arrows or such I'm afraid. All I have for a skill right now is a boost to one of my defensive stats. But perhaps-"[/color] [quote]"I can certainly try."[/quote] [quote=Vrelenor]A fist sized lump of ice forms in under a second and shoots towards the chest, he manages to hold back enough that it's no faster than if he'd simply thrown a rock.[/quote] [quote]Amidst all of the uncertainty about what had happened and how to proceed, the decision to launch a ball of ice at the lone chest would prove rather fruitless. Not because the ice had missed—no, it had certainly landed on the chest and bounced off with a 'thunk' indicative of blunt force meeting wood—but because nothing came of it.[/quote] [quote=Vrelenor]"Well I tried, one of you armoured guys gets to go poke it now."[/quote] For the love of-...nope. Nope, they were not going to dawdle like this and waste too much time doing nothing or the less-useful ideas if she could help it. If. So, in that vein, the streamer breathed in, slowly breathed out, and then turned to address the three guys in the room. They'd had some ideas so far, yeah? So they needed to make use of the good ones from that pile then. Seemed like a not-bad idea to her at least. [color=9370DB]"I-....ok. Ok. Guys, we have a few good ideas going for this that you've already said somewhat already. So here's the plan: Jase had a good idea with getting some of that moss for starters, so I'll go and grab some unlesss anyone else wants to help with that tooo. Not too much, don't want to lose our way elsewhere navigating this place, but enough to see if there's little tripwires or something carefully. If we don't find tripwires, then maybe its pressure plates or something here instead. Keeps it simple, narrows things down. Second, Vrelenor, you already mentioned the indentations on the wall, ok? Can you try to fire some 'frost ray' or something to freeze them over maybe? Clog them up if they're holes or arrow slits or poison gas vents or someting like that with an icicle or something like that even? Then ah-....actually, I don't know your name yet either. Your idea to prod the traps isn't bad, though, and if it ends up being tripwires you might be able to maneuver past them to get to the chest. Barring that, maybe, perhaps with a good enough running start or something you could jump over to the chest...or, well, as close as possible without landing on it maybe? Up to you there, but for now I'm going to get a small bit of glowing moss."[/color] With that, Nyana would head out to gather some glowing moss along the way they'd come. Not too much, or enoough to lose her way, but a small amount to bring back and use to look for things on the floor. Well, if it stayed bioluminescent after removing it from the wall at least. It was worth a try though! And once she got that moss, she'd come back and try to carefully check the floor for tripwire-type triggers....but not step forward onto it in case of pressure plates. Simple, right? She hoped it would be. [@PKMNB0Y][@Thunder999999][@Expendable][@Crimson Paladin]
