OOC: Calling it a night too. It's already 4:30 AM here and I'm having a bit of a hard time in keeping my eyes open. I'l edit this post tomorrow when I can think more properly XD

EDIT: I now edited the post ^_^

IC:
After quite some time of pushing, Tayro stops and, sighing, sat on the floor to rest a bit.
"Nope, can't push that."-he tells them.
Hearing both Blank and Shada, Tayro agrees with them. The flames must have something to do with the matter.
"You're probably right. No Elemental Burst could stop that..."- he mumbles, trying to find a way to extinguish the fire.
I wonder... must we acquire some kind of item in the bloody room, or... or what?

Getting an idea, the mage apprentice gets up and moves towards the goodies.
Grabbing two magical Jars, he drops their yummy liquid in the magical flames.
Magic should null magic, no?

OOC: Yeah, you're just ignoring me on purpose! Please!

OOC: You could go back and read the posts yourself, but I'm feeling nice, so we were able to save ourselves from the flooding room and we are now in an oval room. And how did my notification get turned off?!

Arco finds himself drinking a small health bottle as if in a tired trance, even without wondering what might be in it. Or wondering:

What's with the blood?

Instead, the Sheikah ruminates over Blank's words. Indeed, it is strange, that such an intricate building would be built, and for what? Wouldn't it be more economical for an army of assassins to live in tents in a swamp?

OOC: Well, Nogare, if you really can't read just the last few pages.... ^^ basically, we were nearly drowned, we fought Crahnas, doors opened, we got into here. More details can be found.... within the thread. Goddesses, with all the effort you put into asking for a what's-going-on, you'd know by now.

Edit: Oops, HNS beat me to it, again.

OOC: Now to make Rose do something.
IC:
Rose slumps against a wall, exhausted. "Will someone pass me a magic jar if there's any left?" she asks.

Dogura felt bad for rose. He a man himself was tired. It must be murder for a woman. He thought about all the things she had overcome, and looked at her with a little envy in his eye, as he turned to see all the other adventurers resting. He decided it would be best to do the same. He could use a big rest, and a lone swig of his sake would do the trick. he offered anyone else away a drink.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! And thanks anyway, Weien!

Alex, I purchased the bigger wallet months ago. I got my money back almost instantly from the post itself.

Where'd you get it?!

And Dream Illusionist, your English! Or Eurapoean, at least! It's only 10:35 ovcer here.

IC: Nogare didn't speak, since he didn't have any jars. But he knew he had hardly done anything for the group. He wanted to make it up to them, even though they wouldn't mind... He needed to get better with this sword!

As they all rested, he began to slice the air. It was a bit different than what you would see if it were sparring, though; he had a staff motion to it. He practice, focusing hard. He didn't look or seem to even remember the others being there, he was so focused. He did this while the others spoke.

Important, I asked Blank to over the role of Alex while I'm gone, so he officially can control him 'til I'm back

OOC: OOOOK!

Raven squeezes the water out of his sopping clothes as the others explore the room. When offered a heath bottle he takes it and downs it in one, then throws the empty bottle to the floor.

Denning looks around, and does not see anyone badly injured. But just to be sure he says.

"Is there anyone else in need of healing? By that I mean that they could die in a next battle?"

Rose grins. "That's definitely not me," she whispers to herself. She then manages to get back to her feet and stretches. She walks over to a Magic Jar and drinks it.

Shada shakes her head at Blank's question. "In reality, I can't say why they'd have all these rooms. But you have to remember, the Hakiems have existed for over a thousand years. I guess they eventually wanted some place to call a base."

Tayro's attempts at opening a passage fail. When he pours the contents of the Magic Jar onto the flames, it seems to grow even stronger for a second. That certainly didn't work!

I was joking...geez, Nogare, haven't you ever heard of sarcasm!?!

OOC: Well, yeah, but... I take quite a few things seriously... I'm one of those 'logical' people...

IC: Nogare was still training. When Denningh asked if anyone needed healing, he didn't bother to think about it; he was good enough... He just needed to consentrate on what the real art of the sword was...

OOC: OK, Try to guess... Nah, I don't have time; I'm leaving to get a haircut, and I'll be back about 5:00 in Dream Illusionist' timezone. Or, preferably for most, about 1:00 Eastern.... So, like, I need someone to take ovefr for me; someone loyal, and who will not make me a fool.... I will let you choose of that... So... Tootles!
-Nogare

OOC: Guess it's time for Blank to assert himself

IC: Blank took his hand off the door and turned to face the rest of the group. His eyes were alight with fury; an unexplainable urge to continue, despite the dangers that no doubt lay ahead in the Hakiems' base. "No use standing around here straggling all day," he said, his voice far more... gallant than it usually was. "Alpha could be in danger, and I think that by standing here, we're giving Zaris time to learn about our unfortunate positions. I don't the how concerned the Master would be, but certainly the Hakiems would be clever enough to use us as bait."

He turned away from the party, placing his hand back in place on the door, and moved to open it just slightly, being extra cautious should a wicked beast be waiting for him on the other side. He would open it just enough to peak inside; he would never be quick enough to close it if he opened it all the way. "Besides, I've had just about enough of these Hakiems goons and their booby-trapped base." added the nomad, grinning as he attempted to glance into the next room.
