Rita looked on into the colourless face of the skeleton, backing away against the wall where the pool of water rested still. Its eyes were looking right through her, but soon they would awaken in their furious purple and it would shriek out horribly. Those things looked sharp. She backed into the pool and stood. Where her feet touched, the water flowed into life and lapped around her ankles, colour returning to it.

Colour was returning to other parts of the room too.

"Move away!" Marek shouted, rushing across the floor to the wall. Brie and Boone followed. Maria and Helm moved close to the other side with Walton. Andrael strode across last.

As the floor turned orange and brown, the creature began to speed up in its path. Its head was shaking until finally it reached a rapid speed. Then it shrieked out into the room, purple glowing inside its foul mouth. It turned to the Northern exit, by which Rita was stood alone in the pool. The waterfall resumed its regular speed and then everything happened at once.

She felt the rush of water on her head, cold and bitter as she clenched shut her eyes. Her uncle would be waiting...that was a thought she didn't enjoy. There was another shriek and she opened her eye slightly. Through the haze of water, she watched as the beast approached the Northern exit. It shrieked, dissolved in a spiral of purple sparks and vanished from sight altogether.

Rita let out a deep breath. She was soaked through but...alive. The group counted to ten silently and nothing happened. Then Marek stepped forth to the middle of the room.

"I don't think its coming back...." He suggested.

There was a global sigh of relief and Rita sank to her knees in the pool. That was...close.

It is now Phase 59. Phase 59 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

You must move within 24 hours or you will be killed.

Oh man.

I'm glad it only injures.

I was worried for a while there.

Yeah! That's right! You better run!

I was so scared you guys don't even know.

:heppy:

Are we sure these things killed Katy?

I think they're trying to communicate with or warn us...

Oh wait I just re-read the flavor.

Did it do anything or did it just leave?

Oh man. I'm glad it only injures. I was worried for a while there.

Actually, I don't think I even got injured. At least, Willis hasn't told me so yet.

Brie @ 28/5/2013 23:52

Are we sure these things killed Katy? I think they're trying to communicate with or warn us...

One killed Rhea for sure.

But she was already injured.

Yeah I meant Rhea. Sorry.

It specifically had "DV" on it? I'm thinking maybe...maybe they were soldiers? DV could mean 505, this was brought up before yeah?

Brie @ 28/5/2013 23:56

Yeah I meant Rhea. Sorry. It specifically had "DV" on it? I'm thinking maybe...maybe they were soldiers? DV could mean 505, this was brought up before yeah?

Yes it had DV on it.

It spoke to us briefly about something... I don't remember what. It seemed like it was on our side other than it killing our shoe.

I recognized it as a member of the Dusk Vanguard even in it's bony state anyway.

The Dusk Vanguard? I'm not familiar.
