Asfeltas Cave

You head towards the entrance of the cave and you can see nothing but pitch darkness inside. To the sides of the path you can see dead trees apparently suffocated by the extreme fog in this area.

When you get used to the darkness you see that the main cave branches and opens into several more entrances. In the floor you notice husks and shells of a strange nature, they appear yellowish and dead, but there is something about this cave that bothers you.

Asfeltas Cave History
Asfeltas Cave History 2

Dankei stepped into the cave, and illuminated the darkness by casting Light on his naginata. He glanced around quickly to see if anything was in the vicinity, and waited for his companions. Meanwhile, he was hoping they wouldn't attract too many critters at a time.

The Hauken fencer arrived shortly.
"Well?" Patamon said impatiently.

Dankei heard some scratching and faint hacking noises a bit deeper in the cave.

Dankei pointed at the husks on the ground, and then said in a low voice, but with a big grin on his face: "See those? And do you hear that scratching further into the cave? I'm thinking we'll have plenty of action. So let's try not to attract the entire cave, shall we? Where's Anemone?"
He looked over his shoulder, trying to see her. Personally, he was beginning to like the silent and fairly attractive woman a lot better than this grumpy warrior.

Just then Anemone too entered the cave, and blinked to let her eyes adjust to the lit cave. She looked around before saying, "Well this place reminds me of my past, but definitely has a different feel to it.", she walked closer to the two and asked Dankei, "What kind of creatures did you say lived in this place?"

"Really big bugs, my dear." Dankei grinned before turning away and cautiously proceeding into the cave, all the while keeping a sharp lookout for any suspicious movement, and trusting ev en more on his hearing to tell him if the bug noises in the distance were coming their way.

Patamon was a bit uncomfortable that his hawk-eyes were of close to no use down here, so he stood behind Dankei as they went further.

َAlthough Anemone was no dah'kin, but her mentor had made her get used to the darkness, so she calmly followed Dankei, and carefully looked around for any sign of the big bugs he had mentioned.

The group of three advanced, with Dankei's sword glowing, and the scratching and hacking got slightly louder. Indeed, in no time the group saw a little exhorian larva crawling around in the tunnel!

Combat started!
Round 1: http://elftown.eu/stuff/a_asfeltascave_003_01.png
Round 3:

Digger ? 4/38 HP Patamon I9 12/12 HP Anemone F8 12/12 HP 9/13 MP Dankei D5 19/19 HP 10/16 MP Larva J10 -3/5 HP (x_x) larva L7 5/5 HP

Round 1!

Before the people could act, a large exhorian rushed out of a small cave and stopped in I10, growling and screeching, as if giving a last warning to back off.

Patamon's turn!

Patamon's reaction to seeing the large creature was... bland. He knew it was powerful. He knew it could kill him, but that did not seem to disturb him.
"Very well... hii-yah!" And though he knew that he stood more of a chance to be crowned king of the Hauken, he charged towards the digger (H9), ending with a slash of the Damascus.
Patamon ran at the creature and struck, but the Exhorian was prepared and swatted away his sword.

Anemone's turn!
The surprise of seeing an exhorian for the first time left Anemone quick enough. She moved forward as much to have the creature in range and trying to decide which part of its body would be more vulnerable, She prepared her Curse spell. Careful not to hit anywhere near Patamon, she cast it. (Cast Spell - Curse)
The Exhorian was momentarily surrounded by a few black flames, so dark that only Patamon could really even see them. However, the creature shrugged it off without even really trying.

Dankei's turn!
Dankei took a few steps to the side, so he could aim past Patamon, and then cast an Empowered Heat Beam at the Exhorian, hoping it would have some effect on the armoured critter.
The exhorian tried to deflect the beam with its carapace, but failed and burned for altogether 25 damage while screeching in agony!

The little larva started crawling back into the tunnel, but it stopped shortly and turned toward Patamon, spitting acid at him! Another larva appeared in the tunnel and did the same.
Knowing all too well he'd have to stay on his toes for the better part of the battle, Patamon raised his buckler and tried to dodge out of the way of the successive larva-spitting.
Patamon successfully evaded the not-so-well-aimed streams!

Round 2!

After being burned so painfully, the Exhorian digger decided to start digging itself into the ground!

Patamon's turn!
Without any other target, Patamon decided to punish the first larva (J10) for its imprudence and, taking a step towards it (I9), launched a slashing attack with his blade.
Patamon impaled the helpless larva like a sausage, dealing 8 damage!

Anemone's turn!
Seeing the exhorian was getting away, Anemone decided to prevent that in case it got away and called on more of his friends to swarm the place. So she ran towards it, and giving her spiked chain a good swing, she brought it down on top of the digging creature's head.
Anemone's chain bounced harmlessly off the hard shell of the partially concealed Exhorian.

Dankei's turn!
Dankei quickly cast Ember and Mudslide on the location where the Exhorian had begun its digging (I10 and the square below that, -I10 and as much squares around -I10 as possible), hoping that the spell would do even more damage now that the Exhorian was submerged by red-hot mud.
First it seemed like the Exhorian digger wasn't troubled by the hot embers, but then as the rest of the ground around it turned hot as well, it lost its defenses and took 9 damage! The mudslide, however, didn't seem to even have the range to reach the creature, because the ground right in front of Dankei waved a bit and then formed a muddy puddle there.

The little larva squeaked and started running away, making it to L7.

Round 3!

The last traces of the Exhorian disappeared.

Patamon's turn!
The Hauken began to angrily hit the air with his wings, uneasy due to all the mudsliding and digging going on all of the sudden. But Patamon managed to stay focused and, for lack of a better target, started after the larva (L8) and, still hovering, let his blade fall on top of the creature.
The fleeing larva managed to block the badly aimed sword without trouble.

Anemone's turn!
Anemone ran as close as she could to the Larva, and swung her spiked chain towards it in a horizontal move, hoping to stop it before it got away.

2004-10-12 [Veltzeh]: This is the place, yes?

2004-10-12 [Sturmi]: I guess so..

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: Oh, darn! I didn't notice that last bit that you added, [Duredhel]! Oh well...

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: And why are you calling them "warriors" when they're both actually mages? XD

2004-10-14 [Duredhel]: All the people of the arena are referred to as "the warriors" XP

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: Good time to share! You know I'm easily confused. XD

2004-10-14 [Duredhel]: lol ^^ yeah, you think too much :P

2004-10-14 [Duredhel]: I'm just waiting for the other 2 people to come in :P

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: "I think, therefore I wait and am confused."

2004-10-14 [Jay Ladlehaus]: just to let everyone know, I'm moving out of my apartment in the next month and half to live with my parents, I'm losing my internet connection tomorrow, so the only time I can do this is 7-12 in the morning PST.

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: PST?

2004-10-14 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Pacific Standard Time, i.e. US West Coast

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: Okay... so it's GMT+what?

2004-10-14 [Jay Ladlehaus]: oh let's see here from Greenwich, it is 1600, over here it is 0900 so I believe that is +7 hrs (if I'm wrong it's because I haven't had breakfast)

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: So it would be 14-19 GMT... heh, darn time zones.

2004-10-14 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yep, kind of a big difference, but not too bad. Come December, I'll be on in the evenings again.

2004-10-14 [Veltzeh]: Yeah... the conversion for my time zone is easy though: 19-24. XD

2004-10-15 [Duredhel]: just waiting for Donovan to go in

2004-10-15 [Veltzeh]: Let's all poke [Lunnie]!

2004-10-15 [Jay Ladlehaus]: he was on earlier too...Booo!

2004-10-15 [Duredhel]: lol ^^ Blue, go check [Lunnie]'s house and read under 'gender'

2004-10-15 [Jay Ladlehaus]: uh yeah, I meant she, I just forgot to type the "s"...uh, hey it's an easy mistake, how many female orcs did you see in LOTR?

2004-10-15 [Duredhel]: 1 :)

2004-10-16 [Jay Ladlehaus]: really? what scene?

2004-10-16 [Duredhel]: During the siege of Minas Tirith, when they are going to throw the heads of the gondor swordsmen over the wall, listen to the voice of that orc with the human skull on her helmet, the one who gives the order.

2004-10-16 [Sturmi]: arrr where is [Lunnie]!!!

2004-10-16 [Jay Ladlehaus]: I will have to do that...thanks for pointing that out.

2004-10-18 [Veltzeh]: Gah. Could we go on anyway?

2004-10-18 [Jay Ladlehaus]: we probably could...Donovan is still outside and could rush in at any moment to help us out...

2004-10-18 [Sturmi]: Dûr, will the shadows do something?

2004-10-19 [Duredhel]: If [Lunnie] doesn't post tonight, i'll take over donovan, I assume you've all done a reasonable amount of poking and messaged her ass off?

2004-10-19 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yeah baby! Err, let's proceed as Dur suggests.

2004-10-19 [Veltzeh]: Yep. I've checked all her pages I could find and she hasn't been around for days...

2004-10-19 [Jay Ladlehaus]: someone should email her to let her know what we're doing so that she doesn't get surprised and pissed when she gets back

2004-10-19 [Veltzeh]: I can do that...

2004-10-19 [Jay Ladlehaus]: go for it

2004-10-19 [Duredhel]: Ok then i'll take over Donovan in the meantime.

2004-10-19 [Veltzeh]: Sent the email.

2004-10-19 [Jay Ladlehaus]: groovy...let's get this show on the road!

2004-10-19 [Lunnie]: sorry bout that people xD

2004-10-19 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yay Donovan appears

2004-10-19 [Lunnie]: ;P thats right

2004-10-20 [Sturmi]: oh my gosh

2004-10-20 [Veltzeh]: Alright, that's worrying! A bullet bounces off!

2004-10-20 [Duredhel]: You can check these guys' stats (and pics) in the Lemirian Bestiary

2004-10-20 [Veltzeh]: Heh. Our chars are pretty out...um, outstatted. Lol.

2004-10-20 [Veltzeh]: Might as well do these here too... Round 1: <img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/57_1098316143.gif>

2004-10-21 [Lunnie]: strategy is the key, not just brute force ;P

2004-10-21 [Duredhel]: Or apples

2004-10-21 [Jay Ladlehaus]: we do outnumber them 2 to 1...hopefully that makes for something

2004-10-21 [Veltzeh]: Yeah, hopefully...

2004-10-21 [Veltzeh]: ...How high is the cave?

2004-10-21 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yeah wouldn't that be funny, somebody bumping their head, probably me...kind of like in backgammon, everytime I leave a piece alone, my opponent is almost guarenteed to roll something alllowing him to jump on it.

2004-10-21 [Duredhel]: About 3 metres high near the center, 2.5 metres high near the exit and the corridor to the next cave.

2004-10-21 [Veltzeh]: Right. Tylien won't be flying in there. ;-)

2004-10-21 [Jay Ladlehaus]: If we end up battling an overseer, which seeing as these exhorians aren't beserk seems highly likely, will he get a combat penalty if he exceeds the height of the part of the cave he's in?

2004-10-21 [Duredhel]: Yes he probably would, but i dont think you have to worry too much about Overseers, they are very very weak if they have no soldiers to protect them.

2004-10-22 [Jay Ladlehaus]: sorry for late action, I thought I was watching this page

2004-10-22 [Jay Ladlehaus]: mmm....black paste

2004-10-22 [Duredhel]: lol ^^ in the inside their more like crabs than insects, they're actually not that bad if you roast'em nicely, though its usually the other way around.

2004-10-22 [Jay Ladlehaus]: really? So they're edible? So if we all needed some health, we could build a fire and eat them for some HP?

2004-10-22 [Duredhel]: hmm.. well last time I checked eating food didn't cure wounds >_> but you could eat them for RPing purposes (In RoL i do insist on characters eating at least once a day or they might have some combat penalties or even faint, but in the arena there is no real time keeping so I'm not that picky.

2004-10-22 [Jay Ladlehaus]: oh, sorry, some RPGs have the food = healing feature...but I will definitely have to sample some exhorian on the way back.

2004-10-22 [Duredhel]: lol ^^ yeah i know i've always found 'healing food' a bit silly, i mean its ok if some animals have some magical components and stuff but eating an apple wont regrow your finger.

2004-10-22 [Jay Ladlehaus]: unless you're Apple Man

2004-10-22 [Duredhel]: >_> *no comments*

2004-10-22 [Jay Ladlehaus]: lol oh wait this is Realms of Lemire, not Vegitales, oops.

2004-10-22 [Lunnie]: Apparently i do come back to life xD

2004-10-22 [Veltzeh]: Yay! My emails have POWER in them >:D

2004-10-22 [Lunnie]: yeah its kinda good you emailed me cuz i barely have time to come here and my msn is always on so if you email me i'll be like "damned i forgot!" and i'll come xD

2004-10-22 [Veltzeh]: OK =D So you have the messenger too? Mind if I add you, mine is often on too, I could just remind you that way, hehe.

2004-10-22 [Lunnie]: sure ^^

2004-10-23 [Veltzeh]: Round 2: http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/57_1098549375.gif Immobile people. XD

2004-10-24 [Sturmi]: har, thanks vel... didn't Tylien move to D8?

2004-10-24 [Veltzeh]: Yep, but my map thing just depicts the beginning... Tylien moved after the beginning, hehe.

2004-10-25 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yeah, take that you bad exhorian you! Too bad we can't eat it since Donovan diseased it.

2004-10-26 [Sturmi]: lol

2004-10-26 [Duredhel]: Hey [Lunnie], please say exactly which stat is Donovan trying to curse

2004-10-26 [Lunnie]: oh right forgot about that one ;P and donovan would eat it even if its diseased ;P

2004-10-26 [Jay Ladlehaus]: that's because Donovan is a yucky head

2004-10-26 [Lunnie]: No its because Donovan knows his spells xD and hes... a... well i guess he is a yucky head xD

2004-10-26 [Veltzeh]: XD

2004-10-28 [Veltzeh]: *pokes [Duredhel]*

2004-10-28 [Duredhel]: :P sowy, forgot this page

2004-10-28 [Veltzeh]: Round 3: http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/57_1098989392.gif

2004-11-03 [Veltzeh]: *poke poke* *PROD*

2004-11-03 [Veltzeh]: Hm... should we go on the Deeps page already or will we be just, er, going deeper on this page?

2004-11-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: it's up to Dur when we can move on. I'm okay with doing it, but if you look at the next section, I'm not entirely sure if we will be able to visually function.

2004-11-03 [Veltzeh]: Yep, exactly...

2004-11-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: so I guess I'm going to go ahead and do what I came here for.

2004-11-03 [Duredhel]: You can post in the deeps if you want to. Blue, where is exactly that you are digging? (show me in the map :)

2004-11-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: C6...do you want me to post the map showing that?

2004-11-03 [Duredhel]: no need, just wanted to know.

2004-11-05 [Veltzeh]: Er... Tylien just said how long they'll last.

2004-11-05 [Jay Ladlehaus]: oh I thought he was saying the husks were like parchment, not the combustibles.

2004-11-05 [Veltzeh]: Ah. Well, would you like to edit or will Tylien be confused now? XD

2004-11-05 [Jay Ladlehaus]: I'll edit...there you go.

2004-11-05 [Veltzeh]: Amadea?? XD

2004-11-05 [Jay Ladlehaus]: damnit I did it again...fixed it...I'm surprised I haven't switched it the other yet for Party 1

2004-11-08 [Jay Ladlehaus]: should we move on to the next wiki page of the cave or continue exploring here?

2004-11-14 [Duredhel]: Ok just have your chars move to the next page then.

2005-03-02 [Jay Ladlehaus]: [Duredhel] - Is it trying to eat the ore Donovan just dislodged, or it is after the ore on my person?

2005-03-02 [Duredhel]: anything that is close to him, though he appears to only be going after the greenish one.

2005-03-02 [Veltzeh]: Lol... Donovan is going to get himself a pet if this continues XD

2005-03-02 [Lunnie]: ]3 shush you~

2005-03-02 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Where did Reyin just come from?

2005-03-02 [Reyin]: hey I followed thethe path

2005-03-02 [Jay Ladlehaus]: where from? The waterfalls, or the other side?

2005-03-02 [Reyin]: from the portal there are three paths "Reyin started down the third path into the cave"

2005-03-02 [Jay Ladlehaus]: oh, okay. I got it now.

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: lmao I think Don made it obvious to who would want meridians head FOR TAKING HIS HAIR!

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: well if it's obvious, it would be Reyin, right?

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: Obviously. XD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: well I wasn't sure if Donovan was alluding to Reyin possibly having friends in high place (or low for that matter) who would seek revenge. Because obviously a fight between the two of us would favor Meridian...and if Donovan helped, it would be no contest.

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: you there.

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: eh?

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: Donovan has to take the strap from me

2005-03-03 [Duredhel]: Hahahah ^^ Reyin almost got mugged, we have some shady folk in the arena these days.

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: yeah atleats I acn talk fast enough to avoid a mugging.

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: Hehehe XD

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: I bet you any thing that if it was not for me having that strap they would have ripped my head off in a heart beat.

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yeah, we would probably would have...or at least shaved your head. Donovan and Meridian are a Dah'kin-Caerhamian duo, so naturally we're going to lean towards shady lol...If it was my other chars who are more noble, they would have asked nicely and then probably help you with your quest.

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: oh well as soon as don takes the strap i can be no my marry little way

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Lol ^__^; Maybe, they might want your hair too ;P still xD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Very possible...I'm sure there's someone in the arena who might be willing to buy it. Are any of the NPCs bald?

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: ok you win.

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Lmao xD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yeah you ran into the worst possible pair in Lemire. If you had come earlier, you would have gotten a nice fight for experience, and two of the so-called 'good guys'. Wrong place, wrong time, I guess lol

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Lol~~ ^__^;; they should fight some time Don and mer ;P it would be funny xD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: lol yeah it would. Are you waiting for Dur to input a creature response to Donovan?

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: I guess i could follow you around.

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: I guess i could follow you around. D says I shouldwatch what others do.

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: If you want...just watch out, since these two characters are "shady."

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Lol, yes I'm waiting for Dur to do creature but he's a retard. xD And Don might try to molest your character ;P~~

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: lmao

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Both of your characters, ;o! especially Meridian. xD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Meridian? He isn't nearly as sexy as Amadea.

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Don would molest anything XD

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: Even his new pet? Muahaha! XD

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: all right you guys leave don alone

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: lol

2005-03-03 [Reyin]: yes i don't want to get in don's bad side

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: Lmao xDD~ vel Don doesnt do beasts xDD at least not exhorian ones

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: bwahahahahaha

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: You said he'd do ANYTHING! XD

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: ok so id idnt mean it fully! >3

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: Liar! XD

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: -kicks- Shut up or i'll kill you!

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: *chuckles*

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: Donovan will so screw that baby scarab once he gets a second alone with it >XD

2005-03-03 [Duredhel]: hahahaha... geez... it's sick-fest '05 over here -_-, seriously guys, i leave for 2 secs and yer all suddenly into bestiality

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: instead of spanking its ass with his hand, he'll use the mace.

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: Ahahaha!

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: LMAO! Man you guys leave Don alone XD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: I can see it now

Donovan approaches the scarab from behind and gets to work. He whips out his mace and starts smacking the baby scarab on the ass with it. As he reaches climax, his wand sprays Poison all over the scarab's back.

2005-03-03 [Duredhel]: ok... that was just wrong in so many levels...

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: I know, that's what makes it so funny. I should go to over to Elfpack and start a Lemirian Porn wiki lol

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: I'll join! XD

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: __________> I don;t want ot be included in your twisted fantasies...

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: It's too late, muhahahahha. Don't worry about Lemirian Porn. I don't have any interest in starting that.

2005-03-03 [Duredhel]: eek -_- I swear if you guys actually start sumthin like that I want nothing to do with it!

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: No... It just wouldn't be the same without you.

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Oh c'mon, Dur, we would need a game master...or porn master in that case lol

2005-03-03 [Duredhel]: Well... he is a necromancer... he's not exactly good at manual labor.

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: lmao I saw that xD~ I can't blame him ;P

2005-03-03 [Grengo]: 0_o

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: lmao xDD

2005-03-03 [Veltzeh]: That is the correct reaction XD

2005-03-03 [Lunnie]: indeed ;P love it xD

2005-03-03 [Jay Ladlehaus]: hey Dur, can Meridian improve on the "basket?"

2005-03-04 [Reyin]: there.

2005-03-04 [Reyin]: hey blue soul are you there.

2005-03-04 [Jay Ladlehaus]: yeah

2005-03-04 [Reyin]: ok I'll hand the strap to you cuase toke a turn back at the pathways if still have the strap and belt drop them at my chanbers.

2005-03-04 [Jay Ladlehaus]: okay, sounds good.

2005-03-16 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Are we going to go deeper into the cave or are we going to head for the Asfeltas Deeps?

2005-03-16 [Lunnie]: deeper >3

2005-03-16 [Veltzeh]: Is it just me or does that sound naughty? =P
