Just make sure you survive out there. I don’t want to foot the next rent bill.

@Legend Begins

I will, I'll bring back some souvenirs too.

Young Girl: Not so snappy now?
Old Man: We've made our decision. I assume you've made yours as well, as prescripted in the ancient ways.

@Memory

The ancient ways aren't very favorable to my choices. But I had beyond enough time to decide on a wager on the trip here.

Old Woman: What terms?

@Memory

Combat. Pick any of your own. Whoever wounds the other is declared the victor.

Young Man: You've deliberately chosen injury?

@Memory

Don't take me for a fool. I'm familiar with the ways—to choose that wager, even in victory, I've signed my death warrant. No, once I've won, none of you will be entitled to harm me.
*Flips my scythe and plants the base of the handle into the ground*
By the river and its tributaries.

*Glares with renewed fire*
By the river. And. Its tributaries... Vipers.

Old Woman: *Chuckles*

Adult Man: It appears you've signed your own death warrant, regardless.
*Nods toward the young girl*
Brenna.

Thank you all for taking this journey with me. Our contact should be here shortly. They will teach us how to traverse the sands to avoid any unecessary contact with the planet's wildlife and other potential threats.

@souleaterfan320

Is it taboo to fend them off or something?

*shrugs*
I wonder if our siblings are here, if Jellal is, he is probably still sleeping.

@Blabbo

The house feels empty. But I'onno.

*Flings the corrosive energy from my body onto your hand in the recoil of the explosion, accompanied by blood rippling with magical blue light, and twists my fingers as if grasping a sphere*

Vert!
*The larger webbing and the smaller webbing in my hand swap places, including the combatants touching each of them, timed such that Garsun is placed in the direct path of the beam again after it passes over him the first time, but Akora and myself narrowly evade it*

@System

*Shifts so that I stand to your back, facing Garsun at the back of the room, nodding to you while side-eyeing the stranger at the front*
No restraint.
*Snaps in Garsun's direction, sending a flash of red his way that slows and solidifies into a dome of energy, encasing him as I rush him down*

@System

*My mask flashes, sending a focused psionic blast directly at your head without me moving*

@Abominations

*The blast makes contact, knocking my head back with a jerk—I react by reaching for my utility belt and throwing a handful of metal shell-like spirals against the wall*

*Cocks my arms back, still standing in the doorway, as steam bellows out into the hall behind me from my elbows*

*After boring through the wall, they drill and activate an internal rune structure, causing an outward explosion of stones, sealing you in a makeshift tomb*

*Energy spirals around chaotically from the damaged infrastructure, and after a moment, it condenses into a cloud of pink ionized gas that moves over your position*

@Legend Begins

Will do! Don't make too much of a mess.
