RP- Anomalies in Avonmora

[Jack Teach]

Michael says to Emily

Jack will not be coming on this one.

[Meliva]

She nods as she turns to Michael.

No matter. I think we've gathered enough able bodied fellows to clear this first area. Got plenty of useful things down below that can help too. So if your ready to go we can do so now, but if you need to prepare some more feel free to do so. That mess isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[Jack Teach]

I'm ready

[Meliva]

Emily nods as she rounds up all the volunteers and begins walking into the cave. After going through a few passageways they get to the mouth of a large cavern, with a shimmering barrier blocking the entrance. Inside the cavern a large host of various beings flit about. Phantoms, giant strange looking bugs and plants, and a few imps. Several shimmering pools of water occasionally pop out more strange creatures as Emily readies a knife as she says quietly to Michael.

Do any prayers or last minute prep you need, then say the word and I drop the barrier and we rush in and start fighting. We came just in time. Only imps are here, given more time bigger and nastier demons tend to follow.

[Jack Teach]

Michael says his prayers and draws his sword

Ready.

[Meliva]

The barrier falls, as Emily and the group rush in, Emily goes towards the pools and quickly tosses some items into them, while slashing at anything in her way. The beasts swarm the men, while the imps, seeing Michael cackle as they begin pelting him with rocks and grime. One even picks up a nearby pile of dropping and chucks it into his face as it laughs, all while they fly around the air out of reach of his sword.

[Jack Teach]

Michael begins pointing at each each imp and banishing it whilst taking breaks to hack at beasts

[Meliva]

From the shimmering pools imps fly back out laughing. From a rather large pool a very large pair of red hands begins to come out. Emily quickly rushes to that pool and starts chucking items into it with one hand while trying to stab the hands with her other while cursing under her breath. The imps quickly swarm her grabbing her robes and hair as they grapple with her. The last of the beasts eventually are slain, leaving only the spectres and imps. The spectres for the most part simply float around watching things unfold. From the other shimmering pools more imps begin to fly out. Emily shouts as she begins fighting off the imps

Men, come over and start hacking this things hands. Kill any imps too, but focus on the hands. I'd rather not deal with this thing.

[Jack Teach]

Michael runs over and begins hacking at the hands with his heavy saber

[Meliva]

The hands retreat back into the pool, as Emily slashes off the last of the imps grappling her. She quickly takes out some more items and as she prepares to toss them in, one of the hands comes back, grabs her and yanks her in as she shouts

You bloody motherf-

the pool quickly disappears after shes yanked into it, leaving the cavern devoid of any more portals or beasts or demons. Only spectres float around now, seemingly mindless. A few of the men look to eachother quizically as a few begins speaking to each other.

So, since she was our employer, and she's gone, I think that means we won't be getting paid for this.

A nearby man nods to michael as he looks about

Well this spot seems finished, aside from the mindless spectres. I don't think these are souls, considering how idiotic they seem. Not sure what to make of them, but seem harmless enough. Regardless any idea where to next, if not we can move back to the tavern to plan.
