All was quiet in the Tomb of the Old Kings. In the main chamber, where ancient stone caskets lay...

(Like that, please. Anyone and everyone feel free to leave a suggestion, this isn't first-come-first-serve.)>Look around, see what's going on. Is her team nearby?
So, you want it like this or a vote box @TripleMRed ?
Alright, is it fair to ask you what kind of "mon" she is and what her teammates are? Or will that come up IC shortly?(Like that, please. Anyone and everyone feel free to leave a suggestion, this isn't first-come-first-serve.)
(That'll come up IC, though if it's still not clear then, feel free to ask questions. I'll wait another hour or so before I start working on the next update.)Alright, is it fair to ask you what kind of "mon" she is and what her teammates are? Or will that come up IC shortly?
Sombra could have sworn that there was a voice speaking to her in her head. She chalked it up to still being a little out of it, though she did like the idea it was proposing. She raised her head and, ignoring the flash of pain said head gave her, began to look around. She was at a booth in the corner of some dine-in bar. Low level Mons without Guides of all kinds were hanging out, watching the game play out, discussing plans for missions and jobs, or just boasting about a recently won victory. It didn't take her long to catch the youngest of the group, Tyco.
While a good idea, that was Tyco's lemonade, not Sombra's. As such, she'd have to make due with looking like a half dead dog.>finish your lemonade before heading over so you look less like death.
Being the team's ninja for all intents and purposes, Sombra hides herself before sneaking over and listening to the conversation.>listen in to the conversation before heading over. The Mole looks like an archaeologist. Maybe has a good job for the team?
'Glimmer'.Sombra looked over to the bar and, sure enough, found Cinder. The Boxer Chick was standing there and talking to the bartender as he poured her another round of drinks. The stocky, dewinged Gryphon hen's white tanktop stood out on her red and amber form, her wizened yet blazing red eyes twinkling as she laughed at a joke she was being told. The Caniform looked around to find Cinder, but she couldn't make out the high class Dragoness amidst the crowd.
(Thanks for catching that. As for the question, it is the same setting as The Fox, just not necessarily the same universe or time period.)'Glimmer'.
Out of curiosity, does this happen in the same setting as the events of the Fox adventure, given that it's a multiverse and all? I have a sense of vague familiarity reading through all this, but maybe it's just because both stories are being written by the same author in a similar format.
That is true. She may have gotten into the adventuring game older than most, but Cinder could handle herself among these other low-ranks. She was the team's frontline fighter for a reason, after all.
Actually, for someone who was simultaneously a Gryphon, a Fighter class, and a Fire type, Cinder was a pretty chill individual. That being said, she seemed peeved by what the snake woman was tossing at her, so it wouldn't hurt to sneak in and hear what was going on. Sombra doubted Cinder would start a bar fight, but juuuuust to be safe...>sneak over and see what they're bitching about. If things sound like they're about to escalate into a fight then step in and try and brake things up. Don't want to get tossed out of the place now do you?
Thrash Snakes.
(Sure. But not right away. Those will come along as we go. Space them out a bit before the first fight happens.)Hmm
@TripleMRed could we also get codex entries for our team's species?
>Serpent is looking for a fight and trying to make Cinder throw the first punch. You got a lead on a job offer, maybe you can use that to lead Cinder away from the Serpent to discuss it before Serpent pushes Cinder too far?
Sombra wasn't entirely sure where these head voices were coming from now that she was more clear eyed than when she first woke up, but they made good points. So, decloaking, the Night Dog stepped up to talk to Cinder, pointedly ignoring her to focus on her team mate.>yeah snake bitch just looks like she just wants to cause trouble. I say ignore her in her entirety and let cinder know you guys got a job and wanted to gather everyone to go over the details.
>I blam the booze. All sorts of crazy shit happens when if you have to much of the stuffSombra wasn't entirely sure where these head voices were coming from
That's a good point. Sombra decided to just categorize these head voices as her conscience or something and leave it at that.>I blam the booze. All sorts of crazy shit happens when if you have to much of the stuff
As far as gear went, aside from the clothes on their backs and some spare changes for each Mon, as well as everyone's personal camping gear that were stowed away in handy-dandy Store-Away Brand Containment Packets, everyone had their equipment for doing their intended roles. Sombra had her sword and dueling dagger for her hit and run attacks, Ty had his repeater gun, Glim her staff and back up wand, and Cin....Well, actually, Cindy didn't have any equipment for her role. She made due with some boxing tape wrapped around her claw tipped hands. She was her own weapon, after all.>also what do you guys have for gear already and how long do you think this trip will take?
Currently, the team found itself at a total of L500. 500 Lucre. As for supplies, food supplies were still a week or so away from needing to be restocked, though special equipment like potions and combat equipment were practically non existent save a handful of healing potions. They'd need to hit the shops in order to stock up on more of such gear, though they could handle this sort of mission as they were.>Check how much currency and how much supplies the team has. Keep eye out for the Serpent, may be back to harass Cinder again
