Objective
There is an object behind hidden by the gods somewhere in Japan (Aokigahara), needs to get to it before Pagos. During Phase Two a girl named Morana and Sokal from Pagos's team were found in Japan searching for this object. They both expressed the desire for help leaving Pagos, and that because of the blood connection it wasn't something they could just "do". They parted ways, but Pagos wants whatever it is that's hidden at all costs and has sent Morana and another member of his team to continue the search. No one knows for sure what it is, except that the gods hid it sometime after the last war.

Important Reminder
As this is a crossover team, the group will presumably meet up in a neutral location such as the town, before heading to Japan.

How you travel to places is not important, bickering for post after post after post whether or not to take a taxi or an airplane is just going to slow you down and keep you from the good parts.

Also, in order to receive prizes for this mission when this all ends, this mission must come to a satisfactory ending place, that doesn't mean they necessarily "have" to be back at camp, but it should be at a place that Flame and myself feel that it mostly finished, if not all the way. If you must go inactive at any point please let someone know and if possible get someone to post for you. Leaving it up to your teammates to do all the work will be noticed, and if this happens, we reserve the right to hold back prizes from team members who did not seem to hold up their weight in the mission, and were active everywhere else on the wiki.

Town
OOC: May have to go :( but I give you permission to have Alix follow along if we get to the airport and I'm not there. Sooner we can start the better :) if we all do this then we can start pretty quickly.
 * Alix: He waits for the camp members nervously, feeling a little on edge. As part of his disguise he wears a gray hoodie to obscure his face, his features becoming more Asiatic to blend in with the crowd, mainly for the element of surprise if any foes did appear. Spotting Kyler in the designated spot he stands next to him and whispers “Alix, Civitas” so that only they can hear.
 * Serenity: She walks around, aimlessly looking for the designated spot. As soon as she spots Alix and Kyler, she walks to them. "Serenity, Camp, Daughter of Melinoe."
 * Alix: "Alix, Civitas and Child of None." he nods to Serenity, not quite sure whether to trust her or not. "What do you think this "thing" we have to find is?" he asks a few moments later, his voice barely audible over the throngs of people, making thier way to wherever in the densely packed city.
 * Serenity: "I don't know but, it must be very powerful or imprtant somehow."
 * Alix: "Whatever it is time is of the essence." he sighs and looks away for a moment. If we're off to the airport we'd better hurry." he relays the information factually, once safely on board he can read Vogue or whatever. Not that he can relax with Camp Members around, bad memories. But the sooner he can develop his powers the better, Lord Alten had risked much to allow his membership.
 * Alix: He spots someone approaching them, he can tell that the person in question is a demigod and posesses an unusual fertility rate as was common among demiigods. He nods to the girl in turn, too socially awkward to say anything meaningful or coherent, Kyler would probably have to do most of the talking.
 * Alix: "Think so. Shall we hail a taxi?" he asks Kyler, eager to set off as soon as possible. "Plan is to hijack a plane ride, first class of course. And then make our way there." he shrugs, appearing calm and collected about the mission, his eyes remaining firmly on the prize. His upbringing on the streets, and experience with concealment and theft would no doubt come in handy, as would the ability to shapeshift. At least Hermaphroditus' powers would be good for something. Not that anybody except Cecelia and Marcus knew his parentage, it was too embarassing to speak of.

 * Serenity: "Yes, to the airport." She hails a taxi and tightens her backpack straps. "I get shotgun."
 * Serenity: She sighs, and sits at the left side of the backseat
 * The team gets aboard the taxi. After a while, an hour, they finally reach their destination, the airport. They pay the taxi driver equally as he deserved.

NY

 * Cassadee: She sighs exasperatedly and turns to her group, a frown forming 
 * Serenity: She glances at Cassadee, "Why, dear sister?"
 * Cassadee: The ghost of a smile forms on her lips, She shakes her head reassuringly
 * They then head towards the terminal with their backpacks. They pass through many inspections before finally getting aboard on the plane.
 * Serenity: "Thanks Kyler." she grabs her ticket and takes a random seat
 * Alix: He sits down with a copy of Cosmo and some snacks that he'd managed to nick from the airport store along with a spare t-shirt and some Dolce, at the moment they were probably pursuing a small black girl, lost among the crowds. He slumps in his seat next to Kyler, slightly tired from power use as he flicks through.
 * Alix: "Nothing much, it just takes a lot of energy to do what I do. He shrugs mysteriously as if to ask what one can say?
 * OOC: In next or next few comments we should arrive at Japan. If that's ok with everyone?
 * OOC: LOL XD You read my mind
 * Alix: "I can shift appearance, at the minute they're on the hunt for a little girl they believe stole some items..." Brief traces of a proud smile show on his face before quickly disappering. "I can also mess with people's reproductive systems. You? The plane's landing soon so it'd be good to know what everyone can do." he says awkwardly, to the whole group, running a hand through his hair as the plane starts to land.
 * The plan soon arrives at Shizuoka Airport after 13 hours where the team members could've had perfect time to rest.

Shizuoka Airport

 * Cassadee: She walks outside the airport the wind whipping her hair, making it look like wild strands of dancing flames Smells like trouble
 * Alix: "If camp train as well as the BC do then there shouldn't be a problem." he mumbles quietly,looking out for any signs of change or attack. Tired from the plane journey he yawns a bit, trying to remain un-noticed in the crowds of people as he waits for everyone to get going.
 * Alix: "I thought New York was busy...." he gasps at the sheer amount of people, trying to ignore the anxiety that came with facing such a crowd unless he was hidden among them. "We have to make our way out of Tokyo and near Mt Fuji, at least that's what Lord Alten told me." he whispers quietly so only the questers can hear his words.
 * Alix: He follows Kyler as they head through the Shinjunku district, the place is definitely a major culture shock to him and the old stories he had been told of the forest certainly didn't help. At times suicide had been an option to him, and sometimes it seemed like the only way he could escape his problems. Marcus of course had completely talked him out of it without knowing. He looks over at Kyler, noticing that something is paining him but deciding not to ask. After all he had many secrets that he had to keep to himself, if they knew what he really was or what he felt like they'd regard him as a complete freak, who doesn't belong anywhere. "How far to the railway station? Are we taking the bullet train then finding a way off as we pass? Or is there another way?" he asks, admiring several people dressed in lolita and kodona for a brief moment.
 * Serenity: "I don't even know" she follows them 
 * Alix: "Screw it.." he whispers to himself. "Why don't we just take it? I can't hotwire a car sadly...unless we have time for me to disguise myself as one of the drivers and take the key but that would take as long." he sighs wistfully, trying to figure out a plan of action.
 * Serenity: "That would be nice, but we wouldn't want to be wanted in Japan." she scans the area for any drivers
 * Alix: "It's not a problem....I've stolen things before." he frowns. "I didn't like it, but sometimes you've gotta dowhat you've gotta do." he says, mostly to convince himself as a driver climbs off a bus, obviously on a break. Alix waits for the others to distract him and get some keys, it'd take enough effort to masquerade as the driver for even a short amount of time. The more different the person looks to him the harder it gets, despite his proficency.

First Night
OOC: Have to log off so I'd appreciate if we slowed it down so I have a chance ot catch up tomorrow :) and so we can take it slower now we're there. Should we let Bach know we're there? And it'd be nice for our charries to bond/let the camp demigods catch up. OCC: Maybe.. but we haven't even set foot on the forest since they are still in the van to sleep :)
 * The team finally arrives at Aokigahara forest. Well, its parking lot, that is, after having a rewarding season of map-reading.
 * Alix: "We should rest..it's near nightfall and there's no way we're going there at night. He admits. "Besides we can't scour it properly or fight if we're tired."
 * Serenity: She rests her head on her arm and proceeds to close her eyes, thinking about what to do.
 * Alix: Due to his odd sleep pattern he struggles to sleep, instead staying up and hugging his knees to escape the cold as he listens to the various howls in the forest. He feels sympathetic for the camp kids, there must be hundreds even thousands of ghosts here, which musn't be easy to deal with. But perhaps they'd help track the mysterious item down, whatever it was
 * Serenity: She opens her eyes and stares at the ghosts in the forest
 * Alix: "You can't sleep either?" he asks, blissfully unaware of the ghost's wails.
 * Serenity: "Well if you can actually hear and see them you wouldn't be able to sleep either." she stares longingly at the forest.
 * some strange noises start coming from the forest, rather loud, rather eerie
 * Alix: "Damn.." he curses to himself, hands gripping round a small shortsword behind him, thought it'd do no good. "This is your speciality...never dealt with ghosts before." his heart raes but he forcibly loosens his muscles and rests for a short while.
 * the sounds get louder and the roaring is distinct now, along with crashing of underbrush and limbs
 * Alix: He tries to wake up the camp kids, looking behind him. He tries to force himself to be calm but can't, the cracking of branches sounding oddly like the splinter of bones.
 * after a few more seconds that seem like an eternity, two very very giant half humany half bear looking things crash from out of the eerie forest. Agrius and Oreus are rampaging towards the group, Agrius laughs
 * Agrius: mmmm look at the tasty demigods his voice is so loud it echos off the eerie darkness that surrounds the group
 * Cassadee: The sound and stench of the monsters wakes Cassadee up like a bullhorn to the ear. She reaches under her pillow for her duel knives, and orders some ghosts to fetch her mace. She ghost travels several inches away from the pair, the surrouding vegatation, a lush scenery of green, gives the scene a fairy tale setting, fireflies fluttering along like bobbing stars; to the right, left, and behind her is all but tall trees and a variety of plants, before the bears was the campsite. She transforms her whip from its masked form to its weapon form, uncoiling from her wrist like a stressed spring. The whip, laced with Celestial Bronze teeth, as menacing as a shark was at ready. The malevolence of the whip gives an odd compliment to her kitty pajamas and slippers. She lashed her whip at the bears' feet hoping the slivers of metal would penetrate their thick coat and hook themselves onto their skin, giving her ghosts time to deliver her mace.
 * Alix: He joins the fray, shortsword in hand as he concentrates on relaxing the opponents muscles, causing a loss of strength. It was a small miniscule thing but he hoped that it'd help them survive. He steps back as Cassadee goes to attack them, wishing that he had similar skill instead of useless powers, maybe they'd actually survive this mess then. 
 * ​Agrius avoids the whip, but Oreus isn't fast enough and it snags his foot and he growls in pain
 * Oreus': 'grooooooowl you'll pay for that tasty morsel he makes for Cassadee
 * Agrius feels weaker but tries to ignore it and goes after Alix
 * Alix: He barely has time to think before Oreus goes after him, he scrambles to his feet and feints to the right. His skinny and almost anorexic looking figure making him a hard target. Pointing the shortsword in front of him, he steps to the side and thrusts the sword for inbetween its' ribs as the trainers at Civitas had taught him before quickly darting back a step to avoid being hit.
 * Alix's thrust towards Agrius's ribs, it goes in a bit, but not enough to cause any real damage as he has such thick fur and fat/muscle around himself. He swipes his claws at Alix. As he does so he feels a blunt push from behind, but as the sharp side of a sickle is the side of the blade curved in, all it does is shove Agrius a few inches and causes him to lunge even faster at Alix.

OOC Minx I'm not sure how to respond to the attack on Oreus, the post before this you aimed the sharp ends of the whip at his feet, and it snagged one of them, but then this post all you start with is her pulling at the whip, at most as it had been aimed at his feet, presuming it were caught in his foot, would be to tear out and take skin with it, causing a bigger wound, but then you are talking about it choking him? But you never even aimed the whip at his throat.

OOC: It's a similie....

OOC but in the previous attack you weren't trying to encircle his ankle, you were trying to hook his foot with the sharp thingies on the end

OOC: Anacondas don't need to coil around the throat to choke/kill, anyway it was just it emphasize tightness. I can change it if it's that misleading OOC: Dead requested I play Serenity for a while on this misison, will reply once I've researched her personality. -Much Ado
 * Alix: "Kyler! We need to figure out a way to get him." he screams, Agrius' claws scratching lightly for a moment on Alix's arm before he has time to run away. This leaves an open wound but it doesn't look too deep. He takes a second to focus his power, trying to reduce to make the animal feel like it has lost testosterone and becomes too deperessed to move with such vigour. That is if monsters like that even have it. His sword is held in front of him defensively, ready to step aside and let his more combat oriented colleagues to take the brunt of the attack.
 * Serenity: She summons a banshee from the dark depths of the forest, able to sense its' extreme paranormal energy. The banshee wails and appears in front of Oreus, trying to stun him for a short amount of time through her bloodcurdling scream, sensing that it is probably not intangible.
 * Agrius slows even more and almost yawns and takes another, much more lazy/weak, swipe at Alix. He's unprepared when Kyler comes around and attacks from the front, he blocks one of the sickles but the other slashes a gash across his chest, but not deep enough to dust him, he roars and swipes at Kyler. Oreus is stunned by the banshee and growls at it.
 * Serenity: Seeing that the dark banshee has managed to stun Oreus for a moment, she quickly takes the crossbow fstrapped to her back and starts to load a crossbow bolt. Feeling the familliar tension as she pulls it back Serenity aims the bolt for the creatures eye, which would logically be a weak spot. "My mother is the queen of ghosts!" she yells. "We can kill you both." she threatens, feeling somewhat out of her depth. The boys are lucky to not know the extreme amount of angry spirits that lay here., watching them fight the monsters.


 * Alix: "Thanks..." he smiles gratefully at Kyler, easily ducking beneath Agrius' lazy strike and stabbing upwards for the beasts' throat. It was now or never, do or die. Every muscle, every tendon in his body ached and pulsed yet they would not give up, for that moment all that was in his mind was the death of an opponent. Survival of the fittest.

''OOC umm who's Serenity yelling at about unfinishes business? I'm a bit lost >.<''


 * Not as prepared as Agrius normally is after having been crashing around in the haunted woods, he doesn't doge in time and is dusted

''OOC: The bear spirits. Read the Melinoe kids can help spirits if they are lost or have unfinished business. She's trying all eventualities.''


 * Alix: He gasps as the beast turns into gold dust on his sword, his vision blurred for a second as he watches Serenity fight the other creature. "Ky, let's go help her!" he yells over and prepares to join the fray.

OOC they aren't spirits, they are monsters in general, not sure where you got spirits from

OOC: Let me re-edit c: thought they were spirits due to my research on the forest.


 * Oreus goes to dodge but is momentarily distracted by his brother's demise and only moves far enough that the bolt goes into his shoulder and he howls in pain


 * Serenity: "Damn.." she mutters to herself, laments and elegies manifesting in her head in case she doesn't make it out of this. Realising the bolt hit him in the shoulder from Oreus' cries she wakes up and loads another bolt, her hands shaking as she does so and fires it at his other shoulder, aiming to cripple it.


 * Alix: He doesn't want to get in the way of the Melinoe girl's bolts, so instead he plays the same trick on Oreus, concentrating on tricking the beast into becoming lethargic by thinking its' testosterone has gone. Beads of sweat appear on his brow as he does this, suffering some fatigue.

OOC: Just so you know, I as in Much Ado have been playing Serenity since my ooc post about her. Just to clarify.
 * between Cass's mace and Serenity's bolt, Oreus explodes into a pile of once screaming dust
 * Cassadee: She sighs and puts her hands on her hips her kitty pajamas dirtied
 * Serenity: "Are you okay?" she asks her half-sister, admittedly worse for wear after the fight.
 * Alix: Blood drips down his right arm and he rushes into the bus to try and find thier supply of ambrosia. After finding it he chews, the flavour of strawberry ice cream without the calorie content bursting in his mouth. The wounds on his body heal, but the mental ones stay alongside caked blood. "What now? Could we ask sosme of the spirits for guidance?" he suggests, his posture awkward.
 * Serenity: "I don't know, it's tricky. These spirits are angry, it may do more harm than good." she sighs and thinks for a moment, turning to Cassadee. "What do you think Cass? Can we do it?"
 * Serenity: "I don't know, it's tricky. These spirits are angry, it may do more harm than good." she sighs and thinks for a moment, turning to Cassadee. "What do you think Cass? Can we do it?"
 * the sounds of a little girl crying eminate from the edge of the forest
 * Cassadee: She whips her head to the direction of the cry, and looks at the others? Probably won't be a good idea, who knows what went on in these woods before...
 * Serenity: "The dead know." she corrects her gently. "We have no choice." she frowns and follows the group, remaining vigilant with her cross bow.
 * Alix: He follows on silently, not revealing any of his thoughts to the group.
 * Cassadee: Knowledge is poison, dear sister, but if you must....
 * the girl can be found sitting in a clump of trees about 20 yards in the forest, she can't be more than 8 years old and she has a ghostly form and is wearing what appears to be a dress and is carrying a ghostly teddy bear, she looks up as she hears them approach Have you seen my mummy?
 * Serenity: "No I'm sorry, who are you?" she asks the girl politely, keeping a cool distance. Something about this girl sent shivers up her spine.
 * Alix: "This feels wrong." he shudders, every sense he  had acquired throughout his life telling him to run, as fast as he can.
 * ghost girl:  bu bu but mummy said to wait, that she'd come back, we were camping, she never came back she cries
 * Serenity: "Shh..we'll find her. You're safe now." she reassures the girl, fighting to keep a safe distance. If there is one thing she knew it was that demons often possessed cute little girls. "Cass?"
 * Alix: He just stands back and watches, running possible offensive scenarios in his mind in the likely case they had to fight for thier lives again.
 * ghost girl: she sniffles th...there's scary things in there...I just....I wa...wanna go home, bu...but I can't seem to leave...w...why can't I leave......
 * Alix: He whispers to Serenity. "Be careful.."
 * Serenity: She takes a cautious step towards the girl, unsure how to tell her that she's a ghost, if she's really a little girl and not a scared demon. "What scary things? We're here to look for something, maybe you saw it by accident?" her voice is unusually poetic and gentle.
 * ghost girl: sniffles th....there's even scarier things in the deep center......li....like something's being guarded there, th...the guards won't even let anyone....anyone get near.....sniffles you...you're looking for something too? There were others here, th...they were looking for...so...something too, I heard th...them talking......
 * Alix: "We can find it...then all of us get out of here." he says, his features resolute. "But you have to tell us exactly what you saw." his voice is gentle yet with a steel behind it. the forest driving him on edge.
 * Serenity: "Alix don't scare her." she gasps and warns him. "Shh, it's okay. Just do what the man said." she tells the little girl, lowering her crossbow for a moment.
 * Serenity: "He's right." she whispers tenderly, thinking fondly of her mother. "My mother will take care of her, just like she will eventually take care of all of us." she smiles softly at the girl, reattaching the crossbow to her back in a sign of peace.
 * Alix: "Shall we go?" he asks shyly, not wanting to intrude upon the conversation yet aware of the fact that they must reach their goal before it becomes to dark to see. Inside his gut feeling told him that the girl was different, like him. But for now he would go along with it, see what happens and all.
 * ghost girl: sniffles if you see my mother will you tell her I'm looking for her, now that the sun is coming up I think I'll go back to where our camp site is, it's less scary during the day
 * Alix: He stands on the edge and lets the others do most of the talking, choosing to focus instead on covering thier backs in case anything went "bump in the night" again.
 * Serenity: She tilts her head to look at her half-sister with curiosity, the two hadn't spoken much back at camp so she had little idea what she was doing dressed in a nightgown. Even though she could understand why she had veered off, the paranormal energy in this place was off the charts and there were many spirits that were willing to decieve them as some form of anger management. Perhaps she'd visit again someday and release a few from thier troubles. But for now the mission was of paramount importance.

Morning/Next Day

 * Ghost Girl: I'll show you, but only if you protect me from the bad things and help me find my mummy she sighs and stands, though the way she moves is ghost like and more floaty than walking, she turhs and goes into the woods a bit and pauses looking back to see if the others are following
 * Serenity: "Ok then." she starts to follow her while getting her stuff together
 * ghost girl: she hovers around the trees, her mood seems a bit brighter since they first saw her, now that she has other people with her, she's less scared, she waits for them all to start following
 * Cassadee: She scampers over to the ghost girl's side, looking down and nodding at her reassuringly I'll be here.
 * ghost girl: she smiles thanks, you're nice, I like you
 * Cassadee: She bends down to look at her at an eye-level stance Thanks She stands erect, then turns and offers a hand Together?
 * Ghost girl: she smiles and takes Cass's hand
 * Serenity: She follows silently, crossbow in hand as she scans the area for any other ghosts or signs of paranormal energy, presumably if they found this girl's mother she'd be at peace and return to the underworld. It had been like that before with other ghosts.
 * Alix: "Are you okay?" he asks his fellow team-mate with slight concern, Kyler hadn't spoken much ever since the fight with the bear spirits. Not that Kyler spoke much anyways, part of him knew that he was just asking to bring up converation.
 * Alix: He just shrugs in reply, making a "what can you say?" expression. As they head deeper into the forest the gnarled roots seem to get closer and closer, tangling and ensnaring anybody who brushed against them. He keeps an eye out, looking for fertility markers that betrayed a person's presence.
 * OOC: Bit about the roots is metaphor if it sounds too much like they're actually moving xD 
 * Serenity: "Gifts for the dead..to remember them." she sighs with a troubled expression on her face. "It's sad really, most comitted suicide. Because it seemed like a beautiful place. because despite my efforts to resist it is a beautiful place." she muses to herself, words and lyrics in her mind struggling to describe Aokighara.
 * Alix: "Even among the gods there is corruption, and if man is made in his image...." he trails off and sighs, questioning whether he really did take after his freak of a father.
 * ghost girl: they near what looks to have been a camp sight, things are all strewn around and very old, but as few ever dare enter the forest, no one's ever picked up the stuff the ghost girl sniffles a bit
 * Cassadee: She tightens her grip on the little girl's hand You stay here?
 * Alix: "I'll scout ahead, see if I can find any fertility signatures." he tells the group as they deal with the ghost group, finding solace in his own thoughts as he looks around for the little flares of light that indicated a person or animal's fertility to him, the brighter or warmer the orb the more fertile they were. He found out that it could be used at close range to detect enemies, long as they had a reproductive cycle to find. perks of his unique parentage.
 * ghost girl: tries to take the tissue but her hands pass through, as the only reason she could hold Cass's hand is because she's a child of Melinoe, she looks around this is our camp, we were sleeping here, and my mum heard noises and told me to stay put and she went to investigate
 * Cassadee: Her eyes glaze over the camping site, objects strewn all over How long ago was this?
 * ghost girl: thinks not long I don't think, a few months maybe, it's?
 * Alix: He leaves the ghost, knowing that they both "should" know what they're doing and instead focuses all of his efforts on finding recon on the base the girl had talked about.
 * Alix: "Do you think they'll be okay? I still don't trust them."  he whispers to Kyler, following a trail away from the girls.
 * ghost girl: did you hear something? some twigs snap somewhere near where the girls are with the ghost girl
 * Alix: You still don't trust me? he shrugs a little at that, trying to not let it get to his head. Suddenly he hears a large snap but decides to ignore it.
 * Alix: "I'm sorry, that should be the last thing on our minds." he follows Kyler and heads towards the sound.
 * ghost girl: floats up from Cass and looks through the trees she smiles and floats away from Cassaddee towards the twig sounds giggling and smiling as if happy to see someone
 * Ghost girl: she floats up to a girl with black hair who is in the forest with a guy as well you came back!!!! are you lost again?
 * Morana: sighs it seems we are
 * Guy: He takes a deep breath and nods at the girl warily Indeed
 * Ghost girl:  I found others, like you said to look for, they seem really nice
 * Morana: ah I see, are they nearby? we don't want to end up in a fight with them
 * Ghost Girl: they were just behind me
 * Morana: she smiles thank you for all your help Samala
 * Ghost girl: have you seen my mummy?
 * Morana: not yet I'm afraid, I fear she is in the centre somewhere, where that thing is being guarded
 * Morana: did you ask if they were from camp or that covenant group? I worked with some of their members a few months ago, I'm curious if any here were here bac then
 * Samala: shrugs and sorta floats around carlessly twirling I didn't ask, but they fought these big angry bear looking things, and I think I overheard "tasty demigods"
 * Alix: He scouts the forest, disappearing for a few hours before returning to Kyler on the fringes of camp. "I've scouted the whole area pretty much, there are traces of humans here but nothing for certain. he whispers to Kyler
 * OOC: Sorry I've been inactive, exam season :P
 * Samala: smiles and giggles a bit want me to ask them if they are demigods so you can be sure?
 * Morana: sure, also ask them if they were in Japan a few months ago, they might know me and know I mean them no harm
 * Samala: she giggles again ok sure she floats off and finds the others again and because I'm lazy and I know you lot can read, she asks them what Morana asked her to ask them, and as I've no clue who's actie right now for users on this mission, just anyrespond pretend she's asking you >.<
 * Cassadee: She sees Samala come back from ahead of her. She smiles at the sight of her, a waterfall of relief dousing her, bring feelings of security with it. Can't say I was, however, I can assure you there will be no hostility between us
 * Samala: she smiles big ooo good cuz I like Morana, she's been so nice to me, she's a death nymph ya know, so just follow me she floats ahead of Cass to lead the way to where Morana and the guy are
 * Samala: motions towards the mission team these are the friends I made Morana
 * Morana: looks at the others I don't see any I recognise, so I take it npart of the group that came here a couple of months ago?
 * Morana: nods did they at least fill you in?
 * Morana: nods not wanting to say too much as she doesn't trust the guy she's with, but makes a mental note to try and get one of them alone later to really fill them in Good, that saves time, so I've finally narrowed it down to this forest somewhere, the location of whatever it is
 * Morana: nods at Kyle before we get going, how many of you can shadow travel? I only ask because I can, but .<> can't, and if things get hinky I want to know what our escape options are
 * Morana: nods ok well Samala's been helping me...I mean us she looks awkawrdly at the guy with her there's definitely something being guarded in the centre of the forest, but what she thinks is a combination of monsters that answer directly to the gods, like hellhounds, storm spirits and such, we haven't seen it for ourselves yet, we were on our way to when we ran into you guys, maybe I could shadow travel with one of you nearer the centre and we could scout it out before going in with everyone?
 * Morana: nods at Kyler ok we shouldn't be long, I'm just going to shadow travel us walking distance from the centre, we'll scope it out and get back as soon as we have a better idea what we're facing she walks up and puts her arm in Kyler's and shadow travels them away, as it's a private convo we should probably make a sub page for this >.< but it's 1am and I'm still packing and tired soooooo >.<)
 * Alix: "That's no problem, I can help." He says, following Serenity as he observes for any sign of action. (unsure what's happening, sorry I was away for exam season)

Continuing On
OOC Hmmm idk I'm so tired of so many sub pages but >.< it's either that or make sub sections here to edit idk, but the problem is, I think right now it's just me and broken posting >.< sub pages may not go anywhere OOC: Hmm, let's make sections instead :) OOC: k :)
 * Morana: suddenly Morana and Kyler reappear near them Sorry about that, the wind changed direction at the last second, it looked like one of the hellhounds was starting to smell something
 * Morana: With you lot being demigods, the monsters guarding it will smell you, but they won't smell me, perhaps a distraction, split up maybe? from where we stood I saw about 3 hellhounds and 3 wind spirits, at least that we could see.
 * Morana: what second level?
 * Morana nods ok, well if we get closer, I can probably shadow travel me and two others directly inside with minimal energy drain, then 3 make a distraction around the same time on the outside so they split up
 * Morana: Well what powers do we have between us, anyone here do better outside in the open or ghost powers?
 * Morana: Well let's split up Serennity and Cass so each group has someone that can summon ghosts and take full advantage of the forest we're in, then I'll go inside and  can go outside, I'll take Cass with me, so it's a matter of where Kyler and Alix will go
 * OOC: Do we make another sub pages for them as well?o.o
 * Morana: nods ok, you with me Alix with them
 * Samala: shly floats up I want to help, can I help?
 * Morana: is a bit surprised by this Ummmm
 * Samala: I know I said I was scared before, but you guys have been so nice to me, I want to help somehow, I could, I could ummm she bites on her thumb a bit while thinking ooo OOO OOO I could float in to the inside of that place and tell you what you'll be shadow travelling in to

 * Samala: claps her hands like a giddy school child and disappears in a poof, a few minutes later she reappears I don't see any monsters inside, some statues, a few girls, they kinda look like, ummm my mother used to tell me stories about these things called nymphs I think it was. And there's a stock pile of ambrosia in there, and an inner chamber that looked sorta like a bedroom and there's a girl in there, looks like the same age as you guys or so, young, black hair, reminds me of sleeping beauty
 * Samala: thinks I don't think so, I didn't see any ghosts or anything in there either, just the ambrosia, and, there were books, lots of books, a desk, like those cool desks that people sit and write things at, some flowers, a fire place with logs in it, it looked very homey'
 * Cassadee: Instead of overthinking, she turns to Samala Thanks for your information, Samala. I have a question though, was the girl guarded?
 * Samala: thinks I did overhear someone say something about her not being allowed to leave
 * Morana: interesting, she thinks and suddenly gets this like O.O look what if the object isn't an object..... what if it's living.......why would the gods keep a girl protected AND captured at the same time
 * Morana: She must be important whatever she is, for the gods to go to such great lengths, well let's get going, we'll walk closer and then split up, but we'll have to be ready to split up quickly once we get there

Centre of the Forest
(Post here until we split up officially)

>continue below<
 * they arrive near the clearing, but far enough away that the monsters won't smell them yet, staying downwind from the monsters
 * Morana': still only counts 3 storm spirits and 3 hellhounds I'm not sure if the nymphs within will put up much a fight against demigods she whispers wait, what if the monsters can't go into the temple, there may be protections up, maybe we should just split off, one group on either side of the temple to get the monsters to split up?
 * Morana: nods ok you guys circle around to the other side, and, does anyone have a watch so we can synchronise our attack?
 * Morana': hmmmm, actually better plan, does anyone else have a phone? If so, as they draw monsters even quicker, when Serenity's group is in place, they could call Kyler's phone, and the monsters will suddenly and at the same time get a strong scent on either side of the temple forcing them to split up
 * Morana: ok good, let's split.....
 * Samala: WAIT wh...what about me, wh...what can I do? she looks nervous
 * Morana You've done so much, you don't need to do more
 * Samala But I want to help
 * Morana: Well, umm how about you go inside the temple, and keep an eye on what they do in there, and report back to us if it seems like the nymphs will put up a fight
 * Samala: nods enthusiastically ok she disappears
 * Morana: ok you three talking to Serenity make your way around the clearing as quietly as possible and call us when you're in place, we'll be ready when you do.

Group A (Kyler, Morana, Cass)
2 hellhounds and a wind spirit make their way for this group
 * Morana: I'll take one of the hellhounds she pulls out a sword
 * Cass: She pulls out her mace and turns to Kyler Do you want the other hellhound or the wind spirit?
 * Morana: sprints towards the hellhound, it's large mass rippling as it runs for her, salivia and spit dripping from its enormous jaw, she rolls in, hoping to slash at it's underbelly
 * Cass: nods at Kyler and heads for the wind spirit
 * Morana: ends up with a slash on her arm from the hound's claws, but after a few minutes of fighting manages to kill it
 * Cass: As the wind spirit lunges at her, she goes intangible at the last second, then turns, re-materialises and attacks with her mace
 * Cass: after a short struggle she manages to defeat the spirit Well that was fun
 * Morana: Well I guess we should head in, see if the nymphs are going to give us trouble or not.....ummm before we meet back up with the others, if it looks like is going to rat me out to Pagos, would you lot be up for taking him captive to keep him from reporting back to Pagos? Make it look like we were both taken?

Group B (the others >.<)
1 hellhound and 2 wind spirits make their way for this group OOC: We are suppose to RP our own monsters, right? >.< or... if not, I'll change
 * unnamed guy: he pulls out his sword and prepares to attack
 * unnamed guy: I'll take one of the wind spirits he heads towards the wind spirit on the right
 * unnamed guy: Slashes at the wind spirit
 * unnamed guy: Slashes at the wind spirit
 * unnamed guy: Slashes at the wind spirit

OOC: you're fine with rp'ing the monsters xD OOC: should we just pretend Alix got the other one?
 * unnamed guy: after a few minutes he manages to defeat the wind spirit with just a few scratches to his back

OOC: well, ^w^" we could call him to insert the part later. It's just a kill
 * unnamed guy: shrugs fine, let's just get this over with
 * unnamed guy: shrugs fine, let's just get this over with

In the temple (Samala for now)
the other nymphs start to hear signs of fighting outside and look a bit concerned, but don't move to join the battle one of the three nymphs disappears
 * Samala: enters the temple again and stays invisible to watch the nymphs and girl
 * nymph 1: should we notify Zeus?
 * Nymph 2: you go, I'll wait here
 * nymph 3: looks worried
 * Sophelia: Should I change into my armour?
 * nymph 1: I'm not sure, no one's gotten this far before, we don't even know who they are, or what they want
 * Samala: appears they are nice people, don't hurt them
 * nymphs/Sophelia: they all look shocked to see Samala talking to them
 * nymph 3: well I'm sure zeus will sort this out, if they aren't his enemies than I'm sure nothing will happen to them
