don't pull me, don't pull me down from the ceiling
The retreat had been a wise one. Mabel, Nikolai and Azrael were not equipped to deal with the worst of the things that could lurk in the underground cavern, and Bastien had come to expect the worst out of mysteries in Caido. It had been the obvious decision to wait until he could return with some truly strong members of the family to back him up.
On a personal note too, he was glad Azrael wasn't here. As much as he wanted them to explore and become their own person...he'd like it if they could do that as safely as possible.
The tunnel was uneventful, the bugs and snakes apparently still put off by the spray. "Just down here - there is some kind of chamber. We could hear...there is something within." Bastien told the group as they headed into the dark, pointing down ahead. Before long, they were again at the cusp, looking into the large opening. "...The Core told me to come here." He said in a quiet, reverant tone. "So whatever our reward must be, I assume it will be worth what lays ahead."

Bastien has:
Type: Grey
Hover Plate | A thin sheet of elegant metal that acts as a hover board when stood upon by an ascended. Ascendeds can control the height (max. 3 ft) of the board, as well as its direction and speed (speed is equal to the rider's). To a non-ascended, nothing happens when it is stood upon.
Type: Light
Hypnotic Pulse Upgrade | This upgrade emits a pulse of energy at a distance of around 5ft. Any mortal standing within range will feel soothed and at ease. Useful for feeding. (Can only be used once per thread).
Type: Grey
Optical Upgrade | Can see through god-created illusions such as the barrier around the Hollowed Grounds.
Type: Grey
Dark Sphere | When the button on this small piece of tech is pressed, all light within a 5ft sphere is immediately darkened regardless of conditions. Ascended can still see.
And a staff.
