Who: Joshua Rosfield, The Hideaway Crew + planned CR
Status: Closed.
Where: An newly discovered half-underwater temple ruin.
What: Joshua has been searching for a way to contain a great evil. After searching through the paladin archives he came across records of an old ancient ruin said to hold a powerful relic that can do just that. He sets out with the crew (and friends) to try and retrieve it.
Warnings: Tba.
Joshua has been searching for a way to contain a great evil. After searching through the paladin archives he came across records of an old ancient ruin said to hold a powerful relic that can do just that. He sets out with the crew (and friends) to try and retrieve it. The ship can be used as a rest area between exploration trips as well as a hub for the crew to interact outside of exploring.
⛵ arrival; stone golems
After a few days of travelling far west the ship and crew will come across what appears to be a stony collection of platforms, jagged rocks and large stones. It won't look much like an island at all but instead, a pattern of rocks sticking out of the top of the water. It will be difficult to find a place to dock the ship so small boats or flying abilities will be needed to touch down on the stones.
Upon setting foot on these stone platforms the crew will see that it's the remnants of an old ruin of some sort. Or at least the top of it. There are no discernable features aside from a few broken staircases and holes that seem to descend downward into the water and darkness.
Getting down to one of the entrances inside will be a problem seeing as several large stone golems are wandering aimlessly around the surface. They don't attack on sight but if anyone seems to come close to one of the entrances that is when they will attack. They use large clubbed arms to swing and smash intruders. Get them out of the way by turning them into rubble.
🗿 descent; mechanical turrets
Once inside the underwater ruins, the crew will find a series of interlocking stone pathways and staircases that lead in all sorts of directions. It's hard to tell which way to go or if the pathways lead up or down. Water floods the entire structure, flowing in from the ocean and filling up various chambers and rooms. The crew might have to find a way to get into those rooms if they want to explore further. Using magic, special skills, magitech or mermaid blessings to breathe underwater...
For those who can search the area on foot and across the various rocky pathways, there are still some rooms and broken chambers to explore. But they are guarded by strange clicking mechanical turrets that turn towards anything that moves. They make a small beeping noise in warning before they shoot bullets at anyone in their line of sight. Either stay out of their way or find a way to destroy them to explore safely.
Inside the various abandoned rooms are all sorts of materials to be found including bits of metal, gold, old broken magitech and if one is lucky- diamonds.
🧊 the final chamber; wisdom cube
Once at the very bottom of the underwater ruins, the crew will come across something beautiful. A perfectly preserved blue cube that floats on top of a pedestal. At first glance, it looks to be unguarded and ready for the taking. There are no signs of golems or turrets whatsoever.
However, whoever reaches out to take the cube will be met with the sound of clicking mechanical gears from all around the room. The room itself will start to collapse and fold in on itself. And the thief will only have a few minutes to escape the room before they're completely crushed. Grab the item (and whatever other relics and treasures found) and run while dodging other traps, and more mechanical turrets. The ruins will also start to fill with even more ocean water at a rapid rate. Everyone will need to escape!
Once on the surface the crew will gather with their prize and determine that this is a magitech relic called a wisdom cube which should be able to contain the great evil that Joshua harbours inside of his body. But... How do they use it? Perhaps the cube needs to be attached or inserted into something else?

eeeeeeee~! ☆
[But how do you explain something like what this cube is? If the Commander was here they might be best able to. But they're not, it's just Enty, as near as she knows.
Maybe it's just her, it would be nice if it wasn't; even when she's used to it being so. But, well, there are others that she would rather not encounter here. Others who might have left the cube behind- or be attracted to it.]
It's a Wisdom Cube... I wouldn't be the best one to explain exactly what it is, or everything it can do. Think of it as a source of limitless energy, and something that can do impossible things. Like altering time and space, the creation of new realities and timelines using quantum data....
[Her face twists as she tries to think of a better explanation.]
Um... that is, it's something powerful, and is more than enough to destroy a "god"... it would be better if I hold onto it, for now.

It won't hurt you to hold it, will it?

[Most of the time. She can't see or feel anything inherently wrong with this one. It certainly isn't damaged or showing signs of corrosion, so that's even better.]
...It's just-- it's something important.
[She's going to go ahead and reach out for it. One hand slipping underneath to let it float in her palm.]

[Click.
Oh no.]
