Armory Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Em

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

Anna

*The air of the armory has a tense feel to it, as Anna waits for help to arrive in the exploration of the Armory's lower levels.*

-Reaper-

Came to help you

LuxTenebris

*Lux appears from nowhere*
What's going on here?

Anna

Em's locked himself down below. I tried going down myself, but I haven't fought in years. Knowing the stuff that's down there, I thought I could get some backup.

LuxTenebris

Huh, why would they lock themselves up?

Anna

I have no idea. He did so directly after leaving the hospital...

Cait_Sith

I'll come along if I end up having time, nya.

Arlewinn

*steps in* and yet another strange place...wait a moment!...
*points at Lux* You!
*points at Reaper* You!!
*points at Anna* YOU!!!

LuxTenebris

...Uh...what're you doing here?

Arlewinn

@Anna
I mean *cough* we are meeting in this world for the first time!

Pancake_Knight

Pancake Knight stumbles in*

Heard you needed help! *cough*

Arlewinn

I told you, I'm looking into the distortions and travel between realms. I suddenly felt a lot of traveling to this location. I followed.

Anna

Er, are you sure you have the right Anna? I... can't say I recognize you.

Arlewinn

Anna? What Anna? *cough* your name is Anna? No, you wouldn't recognize me. How could you! We've never met!...
Hi. My name is Arlewinn.

LuxTenebris

I'm just here to help a friend is all...

Anna

U-um... nice to meet you?

Well, if this is all we can muster, I suppose we can get started. We'll be heading into the lower levels of the armory, which there are 4 of.

LuxTenebris

This seems like a long trip...

Arlewinn

What's going on here?

Pancake_Knight

I am ready to save my friend!

Anna

Not particularly, but to access Em's personal floor, which is probably where he is, we need a keycard which is on another floor. That or someone strong enough to break an elevator, which I'd REALLY prefer not to pay for.
The B4 floor is our goal.

LuxTenebris

I mean, I could just erase the elevator door...

Arlewinn

So we're here to save someone?...Hmm...okay. Sure, I'll help. How does this work?

Pancake_Knight

Perhaps not, it could break the elevator!!

Anna

The elevator won't even go down to that level normally, and I don't even know how far down it is. We could be dropping to our demise.

LuxTenebris

I'll live, I always do.

Anna

Maybe, but it's not just you who's going down there. Let's see this guy take a fall like that!
*Points to Pancake_Knight*

Pancake_Knight

Thats not the problem here Lux! Its the others!

Arlewinn

*Decides to just go along with what is going on as it will surely lead to new information*

So the question is how to make the elevator stop at a floor it usually doesn't stop at.

Pancake_Knight

I cant handle a fall like that! Maybe if I was on full strength!

Pancake_Knight

Im sure the keycard Anna mentioned will help us go to that floor

Arlewinn

Then that would appear to be our best option.

Anna

Alright. We have B1, B2, and B3 to search then.
*Heads towards a room beyond the back room*
Well come on, don't just stand there!

Pancake_Knight

Alright, forwards then!

Arlewinn

*Follows*

Anna

*The group reaches a locked door in the back. Anna brings out a keycard, and swipes it through a scanner by the door. The door unlocks*
I have the key for everything but the level, unfortunately. He only has two keys for it; his own, and a copy he hid somewhere.
Uh, don't ask why I know that...

Arlewinn

So we go through each level searching for the copy?

LuxTenebris

Sounds like a pain, but I guess we gotta do it.

Pancake_Knight

We should be extremely careful, we have a small party, and im not exactly 100% yet!

Arlewinn

So I'm assuming we will be meeting some...*ahem* unfriendly characters down there.

LuxTenebris

If there are any enemies I'll erase them.

Anna

Yup.
*Anna opens the door. Inside is an empty room with an elevator door to the left. Clicking the down button, and doors open revealing a large stainless-steel walled elevator.*
So, where do you wanna start?
>B1F
>B2F
>B3F

LuxTenebris

The first floor is usually the starting point, right?

Arlewinn

Personally, I think the middle choice tends to be the best. I vote B2F.

Pancake_Knight

I would perfer the last one,I have a feeling it will be there!

Anna

... So are you going to make a decision or not?

I guess I'm gonna choose for you then...
*Presses B1F*

Arlewinn

*elevator music plays*

LuxTenebris

Guess my suggestion wins...

Pancake_Knight

Didnt expect this tune! I thought it would be a lot scarier!

LuxTenebris

I would've preferred white noise.

Arlewinn

I mean, since we were split three ways, Anna was the deciding vote.

Arlewinn

*taps foot* I mean, I think it's nice.

The_Hunter

*a big thud can be heard from the top of ghe elevator roof*

Mother humper...

Anna

*The elevator shakes as it heads down to the first floor. After a short ride, the doors open.
Upon looking inside, the walls are lined with cabinets containing crystals of multiple colors. In the middle of the room, two tables containing unfamiliar equipment are in full view, and in the back of the room, and large case takes center stage.*

Pancake_Knight

What was that!

Arlewinn

*admires the crystals* now what kind of power is contained inside you?

Anna

Did... someone just land on the elevator?!
*Opens a hatch on the ceiling*
Hello?

Anna

*Ceiling of the elevator*

The_Hunter

*opens the hatch and walks out of the room*

Hey guys... and wow those are some shiny diamonds.

LuxTenebris

I think you're overthinking it, they're just over glorified rocks.

Pancake_Knight

Interesting! Lets be careful!

*Pancake knight starts to search the case

LuxTenebris

They're quartz, nothing special...

Pancake_Knight

Hello Hunter!

Arlewinn

Every crystal has its powers. Or at least has the potential to contain them.

LuxTenebris

Guess, I'll stick with you...
*Lux follows Pancake Knight*

Arlewinn

*picks out blue one* ooh. I like this one.

Anna

Don't touch those cases with the crystals. It's Dust. Pretty powerful stuff, especially in this form. Em'd kill us if we mess with it.
What I AM curious about is the thing in the back... It wasn't there last time I was here.

The_Hunter

*gets up and chugs a blood vial*

Being Manakete is just off the rails for me... do I use my wings as a parachute or something?

Arlewinn

*Puts it back quickly*
Oh yeah. Looks like some sort of funky chest.

Pancake_Knight

Your a mana-what now Hunter? How did you get big again anyways!

Pancake_Knight

Well lets crack it open!

Arlewinn

He's a human that can turn into a dragon.

Arlewinn

Or something like that.

Arlewinn

Anna, what do you think? Is it safe?

Anna

OOC: I've gotta go for a little bit. It'll open when I return.

LuxTenebris

Dragon people? Why are there so many weird things in this place?

The_Hunter

With the help of Leo and using Brynhildr to resize me.

Pancake_Knight

Well thats new!

Arlewinn

Well. I may sound like a broken record, but the instability of reality here probably makes it very easy for people to come in.

Pancake_Knight

How did you turn into a manakete?

Arlewinn

Leo...Brynhildr...I believe I know what realm your speaking of...but if I'm not mistaken, with only a few exceptions there have been no dragonkin there for some time.

LuxTenebris

You people are all so strange...
*Lux dispenses a match from their finger and light it*

The_Hunter

Leo's magic messed with my arcane and now it mutated my beasthood into a dragon.

Pancake_Knight

Oh? Well that doesn't sound pleasent!

The_Hunter

It's better to be a dragon than a beast and did you ever try to take a shower with your right arm be a claric beast? Made me take hours to fully clean it.

Pancake_Knight

I mean the whole,magic thing!

LuxTenebris

Phanes...
*Golden-winged cosmic being appears and materializes a cup of tea*
That's better...
*Lux drinks the tea*

Arlewinn

So...as your dragonhood is a product of magic, I suppose that would make you a mage dragon?

Anna

*The doors of the case are opened, and inside is a strange metal object. Inside the object, multiple colors of Dust can be seen.*
Any idea what this is?

The_Hunter

Well I can perform Arcane rites which functions like spells but I require a physical conduits to use them.

*pulls out two slugs one with dipping white residue and the other constantly looking up with a cosmic star for an eye, a glove with two skulls frozen in agony and a calcified eyeball*

Plus I am a swordmaster.

Pancake_Knight

Wow! Thats alot of slugs Hunter!

I have no idea what this is!

Arlewinn

I suppose it isn't an elevator key.

Anna

*Anna notices a button on the metal object*
Oh, and what do you do little button?
*Pressing the button, the object begins making noises, before stretching out into a robotic person. It looks around before focusing in on Anna.*
Robot: [INTRUDER DETECTED. RUNNING PROGRAM DE47H.]
*The robot slowly begins approaching the group.*

Pancake_Knight

Everyone ready for battle!

The_Hunter

*The null fades away*
Well, that wasn't too bad.

Arlewinn

Pancake_Knight

Nice! Did it have a keycard?

Arlewinn

Does anyone need healing?...I know I do...

Anna

I guess that was my fault. Sorry.
*Looks inside the case, and checks the tables.*
I guess it's not here. We have 2 more floors. Where to next?

Pancake_Knight

Here take some pancakes!

The_Hunter

Hey Klib and I pick B2F too.

*sheaths his Armorslayer and Brave Blade*

Pancake_Knight

Okay B2F!

Anna

Hold up, I think I hear something up above.
*Anna hops in the elevator and brings up back up to the ground floor. She opens the door to the room.*
You're... Kalib, right? You run GYM?

Arlewinn

*Gratefully accepts pancakes*
Thanks!

Arlewinn

Who? New person?

The_Hunter

*flies into the elevator*

Still need to know how to fly these wings...

Arlewinn

Ooc: I need to go for a little while. Good luck everyone!

imtherealklib

*He stops and catches his breath.*

Right. That's me. I heard something was happening with Em, and I couldn't stand by...not after what I did to him.

*He looks up with fierce determination in his eyes.*

LuxTenebris

I guess I'm here because Em helped me out when I needed it too...that and I'm not about to let someone suffer...

Null

[Nobody speaks to Kalib]

{So this is the path you've chosen? Interesting. I look forward to the show, friend.}

Pancake_Knight

I need to save Em!

Anna

Good. I'm not sure what's down below but... it'll be good to have help.
*Anna and Kalib enter the elevator, and join the group on BF1. The group then heads down to B2F, which takes about the same time to reach as F1 to BF1.
Upon the doors opening, the groups sees a massive pile of metal to their left, a pile of parts covering a large amount of the right wall, and some glass cases with wheels in the back.*
This is the storage room, I guess. We... don't really have anywhere else to put this stuff.

Pancake_Knight

Ooh interesting!

imtherealklib

*Kalib looks around like a kid in a candy shop.*

So...much...stuff to build with~! Ehehehehe~!

Anna

Kalib, this stuff's for custom order, along with just generally stocking the shop. I'd appreciate it if you didn't harm my current livelihood.
We should probably search around though. Maybe we'll find something.

The_Hunter

*peeks out and sees the storage and is in awe*

Oh baby... this is must be a dream!!

*shells out 46k yen*

I need Nosferatu...

Anna

We stock the actual weapons in the back room. This is just spare parts and metal.

imtherealklib

*Kalib snaps out of it.*

Right! Sorry Anna! Just, kinda got excited ehehe...

LuxTenebris

You ever think that all this scrap metal should be disturbing to look at for me?

Anna

*Searching the room, the group finds nothing within the cases. However, upon digging through the pile of parts against the wall, some of the group feels... wind?*
-Investigate the wind?-
>Yes
>No

Pancake_Knight

What's that wind?

Y

imtherealklib

Oooohhhh secrets~!

>Yes

The_Hunter

Oh HELL yes!

Y

LuxTenebris

Guess if everyone else is doing it...

Y

Anna

*Digging behind the parts, the group finds a door. This door is labeled as, "D-Home". The group can now feel an extremely intense energy behind the door.*
Enter the door?
>Yes
>No

LuxTenebris

Everyone's going to enter anyway...

Pancake_Knight

Okay im ready!

Y

imtherealklib

I won't stop here!

>Yes

Anna

*Opening the door, the group sees a stairway leading down, made of an unfamiliar yellow-orange material.
At the bottom, the group sees a very large open space, with large pillars lining the outside of the room. At the back of the room, a large figure can be seen.*

Duma

...

LuxTenebris

Is that...A dragon?

imtherealklib

*Intrigued by the figure more than the material or design of the space, Kalib approaches cautiously.*

Um...hey big guy...you wouldn't happen to not want to kill us...would ya?

Duma

... Humans... and one other...

I have no quarrel with you... However, I would like to know your reason for entering my domain.

Arlewinn

*Enters back in through mysterious gate*
Hey guys what's--
*sees Duma*
Oh shit. How'd he get here.

LuxTenebris

I mean, were trying to save Emerson...I don't think a dragon is involved though...

The_Hunter

OOC: not gonna repond in a ehile so habe fun.

imtherealklib

Ah! Well about that. I'm looking for Emerson.

*Kalib looks down for a moment, before looking Duma in the eyes.*

I betrayed his trust because I was weak, and now I think he's in danger. So I'm going to save him! No matter what!

LuxTenebris

OOC: Hunter wait! We need a dragon slayer!

Pancake_Knight

Hello there dragon! It is I Pancake_Knight! We are on a quest to save our friend!

Duma

... I see... so he has fallen from grace...
That human gave me refuge here. I am lucky to be within his care... However, I do long to visit the surface once more. Perhaps another time...

Hmm, you... human...
*Duma's one eye looks intently at Kalib.*
I remember you. I promised you a match, didn't I...
What do you say? I promise that the reward for winning will be... powerful...

imtherealklib

*Kalib thinks it over and grins.*

I thought you looked familiar. And what a story it'd be to tell Em I bested a dragon.

*He looks up, fire in his eyes and a courageous smile.*

I accept your challenge Duma!

Duma

Ha. Hahaha... I enjoy your fire, small warrior.
I will permit your companions to join in. It wouldn't be fair for them to simply watch, would it..?

Now watch, and see the power of a Divine Dragon!

*Duma fires a large laser from his eye, hitting across the entire center of the room, from front to back. This attacks misses, but it's power can be felt intensely felt. Prepare yourselves!*

Duma

As you can see, my *MAGIC* power is too great for you. You cannot hope to defeat me without the Kingsfang...

If you wish to concede, I will consider this a draw...
Accept his offer?

Pancake_Knight

Never! We will not falter! We have an ace up our sleeves anyways!

*no

imtherealklib

My goal was never to kill you, Duma. But I can't let it end like this. We came this close, I won't concede yet! Surely you'd like to see this to a conclusion as well?

>No

LuxTenebris

Heh...
*The ball of sparks fades*
Looks like we need a change of tactics...
Xoic! Null(Field)!
*A void covers the area, canceling out all magic*

W-what is this?! What is this power you contain!

I will not surrender! I will see my battles to their end!

OOC: the fate of all green units/

imtherealklib

OOC: tfw I'm not even in the end scene....cries

The_Hunter

*lets out a monstrous roar and ravages on Duma*

Duma

Gaaaah! Y-you...
You have- ah!
You have shown your strength as powerful warriors. As such I will grant the victory their prize...
*Duma summons an object in the sky. This object falls to the ground in front of Kalib. The object is a spear, with 3 points.*
This is a lance I used long ago, in ages past. It grants the wielder the ability to use their sustained damage against their foe. Use it well.

imtherealklib

*Kalib grabs the spear and holds it proudly.*

Thanks Duma! That was an awesome battle! Oh, here, THERMOPYLAE'S VIGOR!

*A healing light washes over everyone, including Duma.*

Let's do this again sometime!

Arlewinn

Well fought, Divine Prince. If I encounter any more of your family in the near future, I will tell them of your progress, and your continued strength in the face of time.

Duma

I would enjoy that very much...
Perhaps another time, I could go all out...
*Duma retreats ddper into the room.*

Arlewinn

Implying he could have won if he had wanted too. *shakes head* That Dragon. True to himself to the very end.

LuxTenebris

You're welcome...

Arlewinn

"wanted to"

Pancake_Knight

Didnt he want to go out? Goodbye hermit dragon!

Arlewinn

Are you gonna start singing Moana on us LuxMaui?

LuxTenebris

I don't even know what you're talking about anymore...

imtherealklib

Thank you Lux, without your help I don't think either party would've been satisfied!

Anna

Well, now that... whatever THAT was, is over with, let's head down to BF3. The keycard's gotta be down there...

imtherealklib

Sorry Anna, it was an old acquaintance. It would've been rude to brush him off, but agreed, let's go.

Arlewinn

Well if that's whose living in your storage room, I can't wait to see what's living even further down!
*starts heading towards elevator*

LuxTenebris

I just hope this won't be too much longer, who knows what Em's doing all by themselves.

Pancake_Knight

Ha ha I'm getting excited for the final floor!

The_Hunter

*attempts to fit but is to damn big to enter and hisses in anger due to him being a dragon*

Arlewinn

Please don't tell me we need to sing to you to change you back.

Pancake_Knight

Also, is it just me, or did it get really hot!

LuxTenebris

Let's just continue on, don't worry about the heat it's nothing.
Xoic! Null!
*Lux casts a void around Hunter negating any magic cast on him*

Anna

*The group somehow manages to fit in the elevator, and they head down to BF3.
Stepping outside, they see 5 cases around the room, two on the left and right, and one in the back.*
This is... a room...
U-uh... I'm not sure I can talk about this one...
Let me look around first. Please.

The_Hunter

*use his pointer finger and writes*

"I heard about the enchantress Azura but I dont even know if she even exists due to her lacking any historical background and evidence."

LuxTenebris

Alright...I already scanned the whole room though...

The_Hunter

*walks out of the elevator and sees an odd shiny diamond which he walks up to*

Arlewinn

Well at the very least, she isn't here right now. Don't you have some other way of calming down?

Pancake_Knight

Ooh you should have a pancake! Your not yourself when your hungry!

*Pancake knight throws a pancake at Hunters fave

Pancake_Knight

Face*

Anna

*Checking through the cases, Anna eventually procedes to the one in the back of the room. Opening it up reveals a robotic shell, seemingly powered by dust once more.*
Hmm, no keycard here... oh! There it is!
*Taking the keycard, the large robot begins to whirl to life. It grabs Anna, and speaks.*
Robot: [INFILTRATORS DETECTED. BEGINNING ENGAGEMENT.
SURRENDER, OR I WILL BE FORCED TO DESTROY YOU.]

imtherealklib

Fair enough. Be careful Anna.

Arlewinn

Another one of these?

imtherealklib

Or don't. I mean, that works too.

*Kalib readies his new spear.*

Arlewinn

*walks up to the pile of scrap and looms down at it*

Aaawww that's apples mate.

Arlewinn

Anna
