BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

IC: Madrihk"A compelling idea," Madrihk said, "...but don't jump the gun just yet. We talk before we do anything, like sensible beings. The metal is simply for our protection, in case that Parakuka-thing causes him to suddenly freak out like the Turaga did. I don't know about you, but I don't trust any of Makuta's creations one bit. Onyx?"Madrihk looked around to see if the Toa of Iron was nearby. In the off case Baneless was an agent of Makuta, and Bane was in league with him, it would be good to have a counter ready for his powers.

IC:"Hello?" Skaarn said. "We had a deal. I tell you how to get the Parakuka off, you get me out of this cage. Not only have I held up my part of the bargain, I've even offered to further possibly help you find the cure in an alternate location. And as I've said, you can have the crazy one shackle me, or ensure my cooperation, whatever makes me laugh more, really. So can you Toa uphold your dear Code just this once?" He rubbed his knuckles on the iron cage, making it ring.

IC: Madrihk"The Code just says 'never kill', nothing more. I may have altered the deal in your mind, so you'll just have to pray I don't alter it any further."He sighed heavily."Spiders, you said. What would they be called? I rather trust the Le-Matoran to find them for me."

IC: OnyxOnyx perked up at the sound of his name, pushing through the crowd until he stood near Madrihk and the cage with Baneless as its captive. As he opened his mouth to speak, Skaarn interrupted and rambled on about the same thing once again, never letting up on that subject, striking a nerve inside of Onyx."I'm guessing you want me to be the village's resident jailer at the moment?" he asked.

OOC: I'm back. Can I get a summary of the discussion?Also, the obilisek reads "HIDDEN LINES". I have no idea what that means, but I suspect the six slots are meant for Toa Stones or some usage of a elemental power to open the door.IC: Cy had reunited with his old friends Kivar and Vorok near the end of the battle. Vorok and Cy had returned to Pala-Koro shortly after. Kivar had been greatly disappointed by how the other Toa had treated the Rama, and had begun to disinfect and treat their wounded instead, occasionally stumbling upon wounded Matoran whom he helped with Amana Volo from the surviving Nui Rama. Some of these Matoran had been taken by Kivar's compassion for the Nui Rama and helped him, and other creatures of the jungle had also been called to aid by Kivar, for "the good of the ecosystem."Cy and Vorok had helped Kivar for a little while, but Kivar had sent them on their way to assist the ILS. Although Kivar could never understand what they had done to the Rama, he was glad of the chance to set the survivors free from Makuta's influence.Cy and Vorok flew with Kadin and element, landing near the center of Pala-Koro. "Glad to make it back. What have I missed? Oh, and the new guy's Vorok, Toa of Gravity, a friend of mine.'OOC:Please give me an IC summary, since I set up Cy with no IC knowledge of the discussions.

IC:"No, no you didn't just alter it in my mind, you just plain went back on your word. We had a deal - the whereabouts of the cure for the Parakuka in exchange for release from this cage, although I could still be a prisoner afterwards." "I do not unfortunately know the names of these spiders. What I do know is that they are not native to Mata-Nui, and that they reside in one other location on this island besides Kini-Nui. Which I will gladly tell you once you release me from this cage." Skaarn was getting annoyed, although he didn't show. It was if these Toa were even worse than he had been led to believe by the miserable Lantz.

IC: Madrihk"Yes, Onyx, I'd prefer to have at least one other Toa of Iron at hand, just for everyone's safety."Now that Skaarn was speaking up again, Madrihk felt more and more annoyed by the Hordika's presence."As I said, we have no way of confirming your story, and - too bad for you - it sounds a bit far-fetched. Besides, you said we also need Energized Protodermis, which is perhaps the scarcest substance we know of. So please, humor me - where would we find that without having Makuta claim it first?"He tapped his blade against the iron bars in front of him."Having cages everywhere is indeed unsightly. If it'll make you shut up about it, then fine, let him out," he continued, motioning for either Bane or Onyx to do so. "But!" he added, "I want everyone present ready to freeze, burn, shock and melt if it's needed, and conversely I want no loose cannons either. Understood?"

IC:"Perfect, I knew you would come around eventually." Skaarn turned to Bane and Onyx "Lackeys, will you please do as your king has commanded?" he said in a mocking voice.

IC: Lerongu sat down, and said, "I'll have Salamander's Revenge."

IC: Madrihk"Keep that tone up and your next cage will only just be big enough for you," Madrihk hissed in reply.

IC-Unari:"Yes," Unari said to Deusui, before passing a bottle over to Lerongu."Fifteen widgets."IC-Dendron:"If anybody is a king, it is I, king of jokes," Dendron said happily. He held out a hand, ready to instantly stop Skaarn if needed.

IC: OnyxOnyx nodded at Madrihk, shackling Skaarn's wrists tightly together, his ankles with enough chain length so he could walk and a collar with a chain attached to it around his neck. With that out of the way, he willed the cage to open up, took hold of the collar's chain and yanked Skaarn out of it with a bit more strength than necessary to demonstrate he possessed a Pakari."Listen dog, keep barking and I'll throw you back in a cage, like Madrihk intends. Try anything funny and I'll snap your neck." Onyx threatened before motioning Volin over to help him watch over Skaarn.

IC:Skaarn laughed again at the threat. "Whatever you say, Madrihk." Skaarn noticed Dendron raise a hand at him. "Does this mean the crazy doesn't shackle me, or ensure my peacefulness with one of his insane ideas? I could have used a laugh."After Onyx removed him from the cage and chained him, Skaarn listend to the threat. "Actually, as I've said before, I am a Hordika, not a dog. And I try to be as serious as possible" he said in a mock serious tone.

IC: Kethrye -"That's the last thing we need," Kethrye said to Dendron, holding his war axe aloft, ready to strike if need be. "More jokers around."

IC: ZykeZyke had seen Deusui walk into the bar and had followed him."Heeyy you!" he grumbled.

IC-Dendron:Dendron smiled, as a tree root stuck out, tripping Skaarn over, and then vines and ivy sprung out, holding the Hordika down and blindfolding him at the same time."I can do much worse, if it proves to be needed, creature."

IC: Lerongu handed over the widgets and took the drink. He took a swig out of the bottle, and then another. "Wow, that's strong." He thought to himself. He took another drink out of the bottle. He was now drunk. He attempted to take another drink, but instead he ended up pouring it on himself. He then got up and began to stagger out of the bar, but about halfway to the door, he passed out and fell on the floor.

IC-Unari:"These people are even more susceptible to alcohol than most." Unari turned, glaring at Zyke, unspoken warning against trying to start a fight.

IC: Madrihk"Don't go overboard," Madrihk said, looking at the tangled Hordika. "We're supposedly the good guys here."Most of us, he thought.

IC: Lerongu woke up briefly, got up, and soon passed out again.

IC: DeusuiDeusui placed Ambera over his shoulder and paid the bar tender for any damage she might have caused, "Not now Zyke,"

IC: Zyke"Yes now!" he shouted angrily, shoving Deusui.

IC: DeusuiDeusui lost grip of Ambera and she fell off and fell on the ground, he looked at her and then got her up and went off, "Aren't you looking for Zacax?"

IC: Zyke"Wha..?" Zyke decided to leave Deusui alone and checked into the inn, instantly falling asleep when he laid down on his bed.

IC:"Perhaps you're not as insane as I thought" Skaarn said to Dendron, on the floor and unable to see. "And quite unimaginative. Basic restraints and a blindfold? How was it you defeated the Nui-Rama in the hive? Did you simply make them fly into each other, and hope they get hurt?"

IC: DeusuiHe sighed and went out of the building and went back to Po-WahiOOC: Deusui and Ambera to Po-Wahi

IC-Dendron:"Actually, I killed them with everything around them. I also found one nice little fungus that would take over the Nui-Rama, and drive it to spread the fungus out to others. It kills Rahi to propagate. Would you like me to use it on you? I think it would be wonderful to see." Dendron smiled."Besides that, I could always make that thing grow thorns into your eyes."

IC: Onyx"Do you want to go back in your cage with the shackles on? Because I can arrange that if you keep that tone of voice up." Onyx said, absolutely annoyed with Skaarn's mockeries of the team and hating the fact that he'd be watching over him for a while. Sighing, he gave Dendron a weary look asking him to remove the bindings.

IC: Lerongu woke up and drunkenly staggered out of the bar.OOC: Open for interaction.IC: Matatu walked to Po-Wahi.OOC: Matatu to Po-wahi.

IC:Skaarn smiled. "Now we're talking! A fungus that spreads across the host, controls it and then kills others to propogate itself? Sure, I would love that" he said sarcastically. "Although who knows what it would do to me?Also, it wouldn't be much of shackle. Still, if thats the best you can come up with...""Oh, and you" he said to what seemed like a Fe-Toa. "Didn't anyone tell you about sticks and stones and such? Also, perhaps you could at least grace me with your name? Surely it's befitting one of your stature and strength."

IC: [Ril]Ril paused as he heard the sound of someone falling behind him, and turned around. There was a blue Toa on the ground, right next to a tree. It didn't take a genius to realise that the other Toa had probably been in the tree before falling, and, despite normally being an arrogant and obnoxious Son of a Rahkshi, he suddenly obtained a conscience and went off to see if he could help the other Toa.By poking him.OOC: Vorex, Inc has now been poked by Ril.

IC: Lerongu began to drunkenly stagger down the road, only half conscious and barely aware of his surroundings.OOC: Open for interaction.

IC: Volin"You ain't getting names chump so cut the flattery. Now please keep quiet." I said, just wanting this guy to shut up and pocket away his annoying attitude. Judging from the look on my brother's face, he felt the same way and wasn't hesitant to back up his threat."We're holding our end of the bargain so stay civil about it."

IC: Lerongu walked around the village. The drunkennes had finally worn off, and he was looking for something to do. He began to walk into the jungle. After a long walk, he came to Lake Pala. He noticed a group and a village there. "Who are you?" He asked

IC: Amaris, Le-WahiAmaris sat before her fire, getting no warmth from the flames. Their sole purpose was to keep away the many insects of the Le-Wahi jungle. She, at moments, felt it odd that she did not feel heat. It was like something was missing from her, but still, she did not take her bracers off.For months, Amaris had been planning to end her solitude, to travel back to civilization. After many nights of planning, she decide upon Ta-Koro. It seemed like the most populated of the Island, and was filled with assorted beings. She, a gladiator, may not be noticed too often in such a large place.With everything decided, Amaris took a deep breath, calming herself, and then stared up at the sky, where the first streaks of dawn were visible. Reaching over, she grabbed her weapon-holder, put it across her shoulder, washed her face with water she gathered from a nearby stream, and polished the steel parts of her armor, making herself as presentable as possible. Taking one more deep breath, she began her journey, wandering through the underbrush until she located a small, well-troden path, leading to Ta-Koro. Smiling, she took the first step of her journey, and then continued to take the second and third, never looking back.OOC: Amaris to Ta-Koro.

IC: (Uar)"Come on, that's childish!" Uar responded to Zealokan's suggestion. "Also, didn't you hear about the obelisk?" he continued.

IC: ZealokanHe held his arm out wide, stunned. 'For your information, I'm practically a child trapped in an adult's body! Like the Turaga of Ve-Koro used to say, "Growing old is compulsary. Growing up is optional". And I think we can leave the ILS to figure out the Obelisk, seeing as they're a well-organised military force and we're a motley crew of adventurers and, apparently, pillow-fighters.'

IC (Dekuna): "Zealokan has it right, Uar" Dekuna laughed. "It's Hau Karda tradition. Whenever we stop at an inn, we have a pillow fight. It goes back to when Zealokan proposed we make a team and even before, when Havon, Miha and I were on a search and rescue mission after Skyra. We can have a pillowfight here, if only a gentle one."

IC-Unari:Unari came up to the room that Dekuna and Zealokan and everybody was in."If you have a pillowfight," he said, "Don't ruin anything." He then went back down stairs.

OOC:

OOC: Sulov from Le-Wahi.IC: A lone matoran trudged through the jungle around the Hive. His eyes flitted about, looking for enemies and shelter alike. A pack of rations sat on his back.New home. By Hive?, Sulov thought. Nothing swampy. Must be sta-Sulov's thoughts all stopped when he heard the sound of something crashing through the undergrowth behind and before him. Something that snarled and was tearing at vegetation.Rahi attack-people could be there. Stop!Hopping onto a limb, the ex-Ussalmatoran leaped again. The impeccable balance gained from years in the saddle allowed him to move from tree to tree more quickly on the ground in spite of his load.Sulov now moved to intercept the creature before it came close to the former battlefield. His senses were just as alert as previously. He had to find and stop this thing before it ambushed any remaining victors.

Beginning battle. Please don't interrupt-this is gonna be awesome.Point Zero anyone?IC: Sulov finally came to a stop before the noise. The matoran perched on a bough and listened. He heard it louder now-a rumbling, roaring sound of destruction.He stood up and drew his saperka. He held it poised on his shoulder, like a spear. It was ready to throw.The muaka burst from the undergrowth seconds later. Charging forwards, it rolled bio below the matoran towards the Hive. The beast's scarred head only probed on hungrily. It was entirely devoid of sapience and ignorant of the life above it in its single-minded quest for the target.Make decoy, Sulov thought. He turned as it went past. The matoran was watching its treads-one in particular, a big pitted one.Decoy=I.In seconds his saperka was whistling through the air at the tread.

IC: Lerongu walked back through the jungle, eventually ending up in Le-Koro. He walked around the village, looking for something to do.OOC: Open for interaction.

IC: Zealokan'Gentle?' He queried, holding up his hand and flicking it sideways, sending a pillow right towards Dekuna's face. 'I think not,' the Silver Toa said, grinning stupidly.
