Eventually Trevor stopped running, so that he could gather his bearings and figure out exactly where he’d ended up in his mad rush to get out of that warehouse and away from the...the….whatever it was that they’d been keeping in there. He was just outside of the rough-and-tumble district he’d wandered into. He realized that he’d probably never see his masked companion again, but he also realized that he’d left all of his food and supplies back there. He shuddered and thought Well I guess I shall just have to forget about them because there’s no way I’m getting anywhere near that place again. There was another good reason, he discovered, as he turned to look back at where he’d come from. There was an ichorous green glow lighting up the night sky around the building. It was then that the detail of the darkness reached his brain. He and Monkey had been in there all day! There was an ominous chanting that seemed to be emanating from the area. It sounded something like….Ya! Ya! C’thulu ftaghn...which didn’t make any sense at all. He also noted a rather organized-looking brigade of mages moving with intent towards the area. Clearly whatever he’d unwittingly unleashed, it was of concern to people with magical power. Shamefaced, he knew he’d have to slink away, despite having been the source of this problem. As he turned, rather abruptly, he nearly smacked into a rather ethereal girl who was staring and gawking at the light show in a vaguely concerned manner. Note

Inara had been turning away from Trillium. It had been her intent to just walk right back home, and never worry about this silly place again. Sure she had made a friend while she was here, but she hadn't planned on that. And yes, she had found a few things for her troubles down in the ruins. But she really just didn't like the city itself. It had an odd feeling of being dirty to her, and she didn't want that clinging to her. So she set her back to it, or meant to, and was going to walk away under the lovey bright sky filled with stars. They were, unfortunately, soon blotted out though. Some strange green light not too far away filled the sky. Inara ducked into the nearest alley-way, unsure of what such a thing might mean. She took a few deep breaths, preparing to go towards it. If someone needed her help, she would help! She made a few steps, then heard the marching of several feet. It seemed there were quite a few mages headed in that direction already. She doubted seriously her help would be needed, but one never knew. And in her own mind, the more the merrier on such adventures. Often it was the single mage that made a difference. She started out of the alley, only to find herself stumbling into someone. He had been fleeing, it seemed, and he knocked her down on her tail in the dirt. She shook her head, annoyed with herself for loosing focus long enough for him to do so. It wasn't really his fault. He had been stopped, and she had simply kept moving. She hopped up, looking at him, and then the green light. "Hullo there. Any idea what all that is about?" She pointed at the green glow filling the sky, and then gave him a glance. She didn't know he was involved, she was just curious. And he had come from the direction of the issue. It was an easy enough deduction that he might be able to tell her something about it. |

Trevor felt terribly apologetic and said as much in a chagrined tone while letting his eyes go soft. “Oh! I do apologize, milady. It was terribly clumsy of me. I - oh - well I...that is….something evil has been released over there. Unfortunately I was...er...rather close to it when it came out. After having seen it, I would suggest that going towards it is a poor idea!” There was a throbbing of footsteps that seemed to come from out of the growing ichorous glow. It was oddly shuffling and not quite human. As the pair of them watched, there seemed to be a crowd forming around them. A sudden waft of strong, somewhat rotten smelling salt air hit them and with a start, Trevor realized that some of the people had a disturbingly fishy appearance. Their eyes bulged and their skin was a greyish colour that spoke of dark and unwholesome things. At first, they didn’t seem to do much, but suddenly a chant began to go up around them. It pulsed and vibrated through them, but while the lean boy didn’t understand the words, their intent was quite clear as was the way the group closed around them. He turned back towards the girl and raised an eyebrow. “Have you ever seen….people like that before? I...think..they might be surrounding us. Suggestions?” |

Inara smiled a little at the strange man. "What...how could this be your fault?" She was still debating on.whether or not to intervene. It seemed important that the glowing be stopped. It gave her a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Something evil? Then shouldn't we be trying to stop it?" Inara's brow furrowed just a little bit. It was her habit and her duty to combat evil. She wasn't sure why this person was so set on going the opposite way, but she was going to follow his advice for now. "Also thank you, but I'm fine really. I suppose we must flee?" No sooner had she posed the question than she heard the footsteps also. It took her more than a few minutes to tear her gaze away from the glow filling the sky. She still hadn't even looked at her companion properly though she would have seen him as tinted by the strange light and looking a sickly green even if she had been paying attention. The smell that came with the strange footsteps very nearly knocked her over. She couldn't stand the smell, and the appearance of the strange shuffling people did nothing to help her impression of things. Still, the knights of Fiore would have it well in hand, as well as the mages that had come together and were fighting whatever had unleashed. Decision was suddenly taken from her for the most part as the people who had been shuffling now surrounded them. She found herself grasping the arm of the boy, her eyes going wide. The chanting was surrounding them just as much as the physical bodies. She drew her sword. "No I haven't actually seen people like this before, but I know how to deal with them if I have to."She clenched her teeth and swung her sword in a wide arc, wondering if they would actually force her to hurt them before they started to back up. |

Trevor raised a hand to make her pause. He was willing to draw his own sword but he wanted to try something first. He leaned in close to the girl and whispered, “Do like I do. I want to see if we can fool them f until we can get somewhere to think for a second.” After watching for a moment, the lean youth began to mimic the shuffling gait of the fish-people. They appeared not to notice him, seemingly in some kind of trance driven by the chanting. They sort of half-shuffled and half-hopped in a frog-like way and he kept right on copying the motion. He hoped that his companion was doing the same and as she remained beside him, the ugly things hadn’t caught on yet. Eventually an open doorway beckoned and Trevor took her wrist and tugged her into it. It was a quiet foyer to a building and it gave them a chance to catch their breath and for the noble-born youth to speak with this new acquaintance. “There. That’s better. First things first let me introduce myself. My name’s Trevor. You can tell me your name in a moment but let me answer the questions you asked me before we had to run.” He took a breath and said, “Its my fault because, in searching for a place to rest, I stumbled into some kind of crazy underground….well, for lack of a better word...lair. Whatever these things are being driven by, it was living down there and I think I let it out.” He continued, “I’d love to try and stop it but I’m not sure either you or I have the power to do so. We might aid in suppressing it though. It isn’t for a lack of desire to stop it that I was running. It was more because I wasn’t sure how to stop it. Now maybe we can figure out a plan together that might make it more possible for us to help. I believe that if we can get back to the source of the power, we might be able to make it stop.” He looked at her with his intense gaze. “So shall we try?” |

Inara quickly put her sword away, noting how it agitated the strange people. Her companion seemed to think that it be a better plan to mimic their strange gait, though Inara kept her lips closed tightly when it came to the chanting part. She wasn't sure what they were saying, but the way it left their mouths as though they were spitting it out, she knew it couldn't be good. She moved with him, keeping up to the best of her ability and trying her best to keep herself from panic. There was something about these things that scared her, though she couldn't put a finger on precisely why. She was more than relieved when he pulled her into a doorway, and then into a foyer. The room itself was slightly run down, a bit dilapidated, but otherwise it seemed safe enough. "I don't understand... you... you released it?" She frowned a little as she listened to the rest of the explanation. She gave a firm nod. "Yes, I vote we try. But I don't think going back the way we came would be a wise choice. If I remember correctly there is a path that skirts the town itself, just around the edges. It might be what we need." She would let him decide, since it was his mess in the first place. Til he did she would be content to search the room in which they stood. It seemed most of the place they had chose was, coincidentally, abandoned. She could still hear the eerie chanting from the other side of the door, but there were more than a few rooms in this particular place. Her supplies were running low, her adventure with Tea only having concluded a few hours before. She needed to replenish them if it were at all possible. She hunted around, finding several dusty closets which contained a few simple items that might come in handy. There were bandages, and a few coils of sturdy rope, and a bit of food in the form of some canned things. While she was hunting, she stumbled upon something else. It seemed there was a small closet, which was no closet at all. Upon opening it, she saw stairs leading down toward darkness, though the smell of dirt was prevalent. An underground basement perhaps? "Or we could try this if you prefer?" Even as the words left her mouth there was a knocking and pressing sound on the door. It seemed the strange creatures had found their hiding place. "Whatever we're doing, please decide quickly. I don't think they will wait while we make up our minds." |

The coincidental discovery of the stairway was promising. Trevor wasn’t overly fond of the idea of plunging back underground again but the circumstances were forcing his hand. He drew his sword from under his cloak and set his angular jaw as he agreed with this young woman. “I think we should take the route in front of us. We haven’t the time to try anything else.” He began to make his way down the stairs with his plain but well-forged blade held at the ready. The musty, moldy scent of the corridor at the bottom of the stairway wasn’t encouraging but he sighed and plunged onwards. Trevor turned his head to see that his companion was close on his heels. Further away, the sound of chanting reached his ears, so that he drove onwards down the passage with fear quickening his steps. He had no idea what they were charging into but anything had to be better than what was behind them. A strange glow began to suffuse the passageway and Trevor looked around nervously. However, the glow seemed to be emanating from some sort of fungus on the walls. The teenager looked back and saw the girl behind him. He asked her quizzically, “Have you ever seen anything like that fungus before?” |

Inara followed her companion down the hidden stairs, wondering how she always managed to get herself into such messes. It seemed she had a rather bad habit of finding trouble these days. She promised herself some time off if she survived this little adventure. She took a few deep breaths of the rather stale air. It seemed they might be headed into a basement which housed a dead end, but that was a problem to consider later. She closed the door which lead them here and made a point of putting down the rather handy bar of wood which served as a sort of lock. It might stop them for a little bit any way. The green glow at the bottom of the steps was indeed a type of fungus, which emitted a lovely glow. "I have oddly enough. It's harmless unless ingested, and even then it only makes one glow green for a few hours, and causes mild stomach cramps." She smiled at her companion. She noted his drawn sword and drew her own, just in case it became necessary. "The good part is that it is this fungus is one of the few that needs fresh air in order to survive. Which means there is an exit somewhere close by most likely." She didn't say that the presence of an exit might mean that the chanting things would have a way in. That thought crossed her mind, but some things were better left unsaid in her opinion. She allowed her companion to take the lead, following behind him as they ventured further into the dank tunnel. |

They kept moving deeper into the tunnels that were lit by the eerie fungus. Trevor was impressed by the young woman’s knowledge of the fungus and belatedly wondered where she’d come by such knowledge, but now wasn’t the time for an intense questioning of her past. Instead the lanky teen used his well-trained senses to seek out the flow of the air currents, so that he might lead them both out of the tunnel. Several hundred metres further down the tunnel there was a stronger flow of air. The highland boy in him was glad for the fresher air although he thought that he detected a vague whiff of something...a bit odd in that cool flow. He motioned for Inara to come closer and the two of them kept moving down the corridor. Eventually they did find the other passageway that branched off from the major tunnel and they turned down it. Where they ended up was not where Trevor expected to end up. Instead of a street somewhere in town, they were in a huge vaulted chamber with large air shafts cut in the ceiling. The room was full of hanging moss, dripping water and a vaguely unsettling scent but what truly drew the eye was a gigantic altar carved in the shape of what looked like some sort of ape/squid hybrid and strange twisting writing. The young man walked up close to it and motioned to Inara. “Do you have....any clue….what the….hell this is?” |

Inara examine the statue, her eyes looking it over in a curious manner. It looked like a goddess statue of some sort, but not one she had ever seen. The Goddess she followed was a beautiful woman in full bloom of motherhood, or innocent maiden, or sometimes the Crone, lady of death and wisdom beyond knowing, but not this. She shook her head at her companion. "I haven't. And if gives me the creeps to be honest." She didn't think of it as bad, but her intuition was nudging at the back of her skull. Something was... off. Not wrong, necessarily, but definitely off. She cocked her head to the side. The statue was intricate, that much was true. And it seemed it rested atop some sort if alter. She wondered what sort of offerings would be given to something such as this? The chamber itself was huge, and echoing. Every footsteps rang through it and back to their own ears in no time at all. What's more, two passageways opened toward the back. One was a set of doors, with the same twisted curling writing across the lintel as decorated the later altar before them. She took a step back, trying to see it better. It was then she noted the bowls sitting around. They were filled with... bones. Bones of all sorts and in various states of decay. She nearly gagged. They were hidden well, only sitting on the back side of this large...thing. Still, they gave further credence to her feeling of unease. "We should go. The door or the open passage, but either way, I don't want to be near this thing." |
