OOC: Boy did my 'I'll post another entry later today' promise blow up in my face. Anyhow, now that I have some time...
Darvek had made his escape the moment Frex released that grenade from his hand. He felt the ground shake as a deafening explosion erupted behind him, causing the nesting dome to literally fall apart. He could only hope the cave-in would prevent Frex and the others from finding him and returning him to Vernon.
Up ahead. More Paramite. Darvek readied his weapon for a moment or two, but to his suprise the creatures simply bounded past in a hurry toward the open chamber. Often being considered single minded creatures, Darvek assumed theirs was on the nesting grounds. The path began to twist and turn unexpectadly, often forming large U-shaped bends that became harder to follow. Running, too, was becoming increasingly difficult as though Darvek was moving uphill, although it was almost impossible to tell in these dank caverns. Disorientation had finally gotten the better of him.
Finally! Up ahead the path seemed to become wider. Lighter. Darvek increased speed, eager to get himself out of this unforgiving maze. But suddenly there was no path left. Darvek came to a screeching halt. He was back in the main chamber, directly above the entrance from which he had came (I'm talking about the actual entrance into the entire nesting ground from the outside). Looking down through one of the hundreds of small, round openings, high up in the dome shaped wall, Darvek could make out Flaxis and a peculiar Mudokon he hadn't yet seen before attempting to dig their way through the formation caused by the cave-in earlier. Paramite were swarming in from all entrances imaginable, forming lines as they aided the duo by shifting rocks in an ant-like fashion. Obviously they too were eager to see the extent of the damage caused.
This was Darvek's chance. All he had to do was drop down there and make a run for it out the exit. Still, who knew what would be waiting for him out there. Calvarr? More of Vernon's foot soldiers? He would bide his time for now.
Elsewhere, on the other side of the cave in...
Dead Slig littered the web entangled floor, being dragged and sorted into a pile by busy Paramite as the rest attempted to tear down this new stone divider within their nest. A massacre had a occured here earlier the moment that grenade went off. Paramite had swarmed in from the furthest reaches of the caves and viciously slaughtered the Slig attack squad, protecting their nest. The few that had survived retreated into one of the many small tunnels along the walls. One of these Slig, was Frex.
OOC: Bleh, feel I might have rushed this one, but it gets the job done. Sliguy, Relt's character still confuses me in how he ties in with the actual RPG's storyline, not just that of your characters. If these Slig are following under Vernon's orders, why did they stop performing their duties to bring Calvarr to Relt? Assuming Relt is working alongside/for Vernon, what's Relt's intentions behind being on a hunt originally intended for Darvek if he's out to kill Calvarr?
Not laying into you or anything, just would like to know a little bit more about this sideplot you've been establishing so I can learn how to better my posts to work with it.
