Status: Open

Warnings: N/A (updated as necessary as always)

-THE STARMETAL FORGE-

[After the events last month with Ganondorf, visitors to the Starmetal Forge might have noticed that the shop was closed for most of a week. But now, Darin's back in business, though he's sporting some conspicuous looking bandages under the short sleeves of his shirt.]

[That's right. Sleeves.]

[Those of you who might know Darin even in passing might know find that he's wearing something with sleeves as odd.]

[Regardless, the Starmetal Forge is open and ready for more clients! Darin will, as always, be hard at work at one of the workstations when someone comes in.]

-INFILTRATE AND LIBERATE-

[When the reports of more missing people started coming down, Darin was apprehensive. Considering what Ganondorf tried to do with the poor victims he'd abducted this was setting off alarm bells in his head.]

[But it was weird that the reports he was hearing kept mentioning Atnam. He hardly knows anything about that particular base but wasn't it neutral? Were they doing something there? Or was there something worse going on?]

[The only solution was to investigate the ships and to do that, Darin had to don a disguise.]

[It took some smooth-talking and more than a few greased palms...but Darin managed to secure a Paladin Officer's uniform. One that...well, given his frame and stature, he fills out particularly well. He hates the damn thing though and it may be obvious from the way he's constantly fussing with the sleeves and collar. As for his hair, he's got it slicked back to accommodate the cap, a few roguish stray hairs from his bangs falling in front of his features. Regardless, he looks the part and actually manages to appear to carry himself with some authority.]

Alright...now, to figure out which ship to search...

-UNDERWATER RUINS-

[After helping Joshua in his research, Darin began getting interested in these Underwater ruins as well. Specifically, he was interested in anything that could teach him about the magic of this world. Why was it mostly underwater? Where did the Leviathans even come from?]

[Since the Manta Board posting mentioned the ruin, Darin figured that it couldn't hurt to check out. Work had already been done to open the hidden chamber and so Darin, with a pack full of notebooks and other exploration must-haves wanders in excitedly.]

...Place sure is dark as hell. Who the hell built this place anyway...?

[He looks around, attempting to will his eyes to adjust to the darkness.]

So...where to start...
