the descent
The darkness pulsed.
Whatever space remained untouched in the tunnel dimmed further, as if even the memory of light was being scraped away. Somewhere beneath them, Sunjata ’s attack vanished into the black, swallowed whole. Whether it hit or missed, they could not say—but the Mirewyrm gave no further cry, no tremor of pain or dying shudder. It had vanished, deeper into the veins of the world.
Deimos 's magic surged outward, pressing through the tremors to brace the trembling stone. His magic carved invisible anchors into the walls and floor, and though not absolute, it was enough—for now. Around them, the worst of the ceiling held. But the Descent was vast, breathing and shifting like a living thing, and every motion was a warning that they could not rely on it for long.
Moonlight followed. Gentle, ethereal, unnatural in this place, and all the more welcome for it.Hadama ’s healing washed over the three, closing wounds, soothing bruises, dulling the sharp edges of pain. The tide receded just in time for another wave to crash.
With a deep, sucking groan, the crevices split wide again—not to give passage, but to breathe.
The Mirewyrm exhaled.
A thick, toxic vapor bled from the cracks—slow at first, like mist, before rushing out in a dense, violet fog. The gas hugged the ground, rose along the walls, and within seconds, visibility dropped to mere feet. Even the bioluminescence flickered, overwhelmed by the choking haze.
The case masks would protect the trio's lungs, but their eyes were not spared. The air grew heavy, syrupy, wrong, like trying to wade through memory and failure. Then the cavern groaned again.
Stone cracked. A minor landslide sheared from above, rocks pelting down with a teeth-rattling roar. A boulder the size of a man exploded besideHadama, fragments peppering his side. A jagged edge scraped past Deimos 's shoulder. One struck the edge of the box in Sunjata 's arms, spinning it violently—but miraculously, it remained sealed.
All around them, the world shifted like an animal turning in its sleep.
And the Mirewyrm, somewhere deep beneath their feet, waited.
Welcome to the Key Quest. This is a hard Level 15 key Quest.
Your randomly assigned posting order is Sunjata, Deimos, then Hadama. You have 24 hrs to reply.
Sunjata HP: 795/1125
Deimos HP: 1082.50/1275
Hadama HP: 590/800
Mirewyrm: 131.75/1153
Mirewyrm: The Mirewyrm is a colossal void entity, vaguely serpentine and dragonlike, that tunnels through stone as though the rock were liquid. Its body is plated in black, semi-metallic scales that shimmer with deep-space reflections, constantly shifting and rearranging like something unfinished. It has no eyes, and its mouth opens sideways in a jagged, spiral maw—a gateway rather than a mouth, lined not with teeth, but with coiling tendrils of voidlight and gravity.
Remember to include a summary at the bottom of your post with all action taken. If weapons/upgrades/abilities/items/shifts/etc are used, please include their desc. from your profile at the bottom of your post as well.
