OOC: Hm, then I suppose it makes perfect sense to not give it a try. Better to just keep Awarenessing even though someone's already successfully Awarenessed, right? XD What was it that Dogura noticed? Ah yes...

Also, the water from the melted ice has all gathered in these cracks, filling them almost to the point where the water is overflowing.

*runs off, dodging rotten tomatoes*

OOC: Well, seeing as I'm one of the few people left, I guess I should do something. Oh, and it's the rotten cabbages I'm throwing at you that you need to dodge.

IC:
Rose remembers that Shada had given her the rest of her Artic Seeds. She takes one and throws it at the cracks.

OOC: Darn you, Weien. All I was going to say was that one needed to think scientifically.

You're unconscious...I wasn't expecting for you to speak up...oh well.

IC:
As the Arctic Seed explodes against the water, an light travels throughout all of the cracks in the flooring, freezing the water in an instant. As the water freezes, it expands (hence why y'all needed to think scientifically), forcing the cracks in the ground even farther apart.

It takes several seconds before it finally occurs, but soon enough the flooring surrounding the Kroperg's column of flames splits open and the ground collapses inward. The Kroperg realizes what is happening too late, and even as it attempts to leap out of the flames and on to safe ground, the floor splinters apart and reveals that this room is right over the rushing river the group had crossed earlier.

The last sight the Kroperg ever sees is the enormous pointy rocks rushing forward to stab into its body. And stab they do, into each leg, the underside of the body, the nose...and the largest one goes completely through its head.

The Kroperg is dead.

OOC: I delivered the final blow? Well, I couldn't have done it without the rest of you all....Except for you bums who didn't do anything.

Hey, Alpha, this is fantasy; I don't expect to think scientifically.

IC:
Rose just stares blankly. The Kroperg...dead? She slumps down, too tired to do anything.

OOC: That's right, HNS, you did it. And this may be fantasy, but it still follows the laws of nature (every now and then).

IC:
The mystery woman stands and nods to those still standing. "The others will wake up shortly...now I must leave." Before she does so, she walks over to the pit and glances over, then shakes her head. "Congratulations...you've killed a baby Kroperg. That's a feat few can ever claimed they've accomplished."

A Deku Nut appears from beneath her cloak and strikes the ground. The woman is gone when the flash subsides.

OOC: Everyone else, wake up if you feel like it, or we'll wake you up when it's time to move on.

"Oh... oh wow." stuttered Blank, watching the wild boar being pushed along the roaring river and disappearing to whatever location the rushing stream may have lead to. He watched the red water following after it, and he winced as each rock stabbed the Kroperg. He recalled the annoying run-in with the rock in the prison cell earlier that day, and how it had stabbed him repeatedly as well. Although, not as horrendously as the pig had taken it.

He beamed, glad that he had thought of the floor as a possible point of interest in the battle. The expression altered when he extracted one of the cold seeds, fumbling it around in his hand and gazing at it in awe. Why hadn't he thought of throwing it into the cracks? Never was too great with puzzles, he thought, sighing, and shrugging his shoulders as he crammed the Arctic Seed back into the pocket of his Hakiem Robe.

He now glanced at the fallen ones, wondering how long it would be before the woman's strange potion took effect, if it was even meant to bring them to consciousness. He sheathed his sword, glad that he was finally able to relax. With the Kroperg gone, Blank was ready to continue. He congratulated Rose for throwing the seed in, but knew that some of the others, especially the ones that had been forced into slumber, would have thought of that tactic as well. Probably Arco (OOC: had to throw that in there XD).

"So what now?" He was, of course, speaking to the strange, blue-clothed woman, as the others would doubtlessly have little knowledge of the dungeon's next advancement. But she had disappeared. Instead, he waited for Shada to wake up.

OOC: To Alpha: Bah! Fantasy never follows the laws of science! (Ignore that; I've lost my mind again ).

IC:
Rose nods her head in response to Blank. "And that was a baby," she mutters, neither knowing or caring if anyone heard her. "Damn, I don't want to come across an adult." She lies down on floor and rests her eyes; the glare from when she looked into the fire starting to fade away now. "Well, Blank, we go find Alpha," she replies. "And hope that's the last Kroperg we'll ever see."

Shada slowly stirs as the woman's potion finally takes full effect, returning to her a small portion of her health, approximately 5 HP. It is safe to assume that the same results will be found among all the others as they wake up. The Sheikah woman slowly raises her hand to her head before climbing to her feet, not without difficulty. "Did...did we win?" she asks slowly as the last clouds of unconsciousness leave her mind.

Rose struggles up herself. "Yes," she replies. "Doc Garrickson really knew what he was talking about," she mutters to herself.

When Grenada's eyes open, and he sees no sign of the Kroperg, he cheers, glad that he survived. Looking around, he saw the bodies of many fellow adventurers, almost glad that he wasn't the only one who was rendered unconscious by the Pig. The room was sufficiently destroyed, though, and he wondered what could possibly have happened, large cracks in the ground, ice everywhere, and no sight of the Kroperg. 'All that for ONE rupee' he thinks to himself, 'well that and Alpha'.

He realizes that he's still pretty weak from the battle, and walks over to the congregation of those who can think right now, but he doesn't say anything, right now, he wants to listen, the last thing he remembers was an overwhelming amount of fire. Everywhere. Singing his body and taking the robes with it. He looks around to his limbs, and noticing the scorchmarks, curses, the left half of his body is significantly worse, and he doubts that will ever change.

OOC: I hate having to baby-sit! Espeacilly when the people you're baby-sitting re actually in grades 5 and 7. Almost as old as me! They're just so immature!

OK, I think I understand what's happening now... sorry about all that stuff before...

IC: Nogare became aware of what was happening. Was he dead? The light was gone. He felt his familiar missing Ring Finger, and realized he was alive! He used his right hand to try to push himself to his feet. He barely managed. A few of those blows he took would be mortal, but he would be able to walk, if he could get himself to health. He was fortunate to be able to speak, and he murmured Favour of the Goddesses. His cushed leg was re-forged, and his arms were no longer useless. He got to his feet, and looked to the others. My father would be disappointed... He thought to himself. I fought mindlessly. I jumped into the flames! It was hopeless! Usless! Hyrule still needed me, and I tried to give my life for something that was for naught... He looked to the others.

He did smile, though, as he saw the beast's corpse. But what was more important was the others. Were they alright? He went over to see. The only healing he knew was Favour of the Goddesses. Prehapes that could heal the uncontius. (exuse spelling ) He went over, and cast Favour of the Goddesses, hoping for the best...

Raven awakens to find that once where there was a giant pig there is a hole of similar size in the floor next to him. He hurriedly scoots himsef away from the edge to a safer distance - about 2 or 3 feet away. He stands up and looks down at his hand and sees that his dagger is missing. His head swings franticly as he searchs for it, only to find it balanced precariously on the edge of the hole he backed away from.

He walked slowly towards the edge, the slowest he had moved in his life, as he didn't want to disturb the ground to cause his dagger to plunge down in to the pierced pig below. He reached the point where he could reach his dagger, he slowly crouched down and extended his arm with similar speed. He fingers surrounded the hilt of the blade he then closed his fngers over the hilt with a speed unparreled to how he had been moving, before standing back up and drawing his arm back to his side. He looked at the dagger with a sign of relief on his face and holstered it once again in his belt.At least my clothes are drynow he thought as he joined with the rest of the group.

wait a minuet, a BABY pig?!? what the hell!?! kasei was both outraged and excited. sure, they beat the monster, only to find it was a weakling compared to the others...
ughh, I need a rest...kasei walks over to a corner to nurse his wounds, on his way there, you see he is holding a sake bottle...

Nogare's efforts do indeed have a great deal of effect on the rest of the group's members. Soon enough, all everyone is back on their feet and ready to go, though they still feel somewhat weak.

Shada, now feeling a little more stable and ready to go, takes the Prison Key into her hand and walks over to the door. "Alright, Alpha, you'd better be in here..." she mutters worriedly as she inserts the key and listens to the click! that results. She quickly pulls the doorway open, revealing a dark, murky area beyond.

It's another hallway, but this one almost seems to stink of death and decay. Water drips all over the ceiling and walls, forming several mud-filled puddles along the barren stone walkway. Doors line the walls every few feet, all made of wood with small, barred windows held near the top. Several of these entryways seem to be in poor repair, and a few have fallen off their hinges entirely. If you hadn't already realized it, you now know for sure that the Hakiems rarely take any prisoners.

Rose starts to call Alpha's name, but quickly shuts her mouth. Why was she forgetting everything she had ever learned in the academy? Maybe because no one there ever dealt with anything like she had gone through since she came to Hyrule. She peers down the hall, looking for...she doesn't know exactly what, but anything to help Alpha. [Awareness check]
