Pandora's Box (closed)

Characters: Marquis Halim Ondore & volunteers (Open to Kuja as well)
Progress: On-going
Summary: Seeking answers about the ominous structure that lingers within the sky, a party is forged to unearth these answers by any means possible.
Location: Lunatic Pandora
Date: January 17, 1805
Warnings: Fantasy violence



It towered high above against the dusky canvass of an orange hued sky; an impenetrable fortress of solitude forged by dark osmium. Weighing close to several metric tons, this floating structure certainly seemed quite odd being so high up within the clouds. It marred the perfect skies with its unusual rectangle shape, ruining the rustic beauty that Madain Sari possessed. This floating structure was about three miles tall, and 1.5 wide, with an enormous enclosure that boasts of high-tech facility that mirrors that to the technology of the ancient Centra. Scholars who knew about this great fortress once claimed that it floats by causing a reaction with the Crystal Pillar inside. A stone hailing from the moon is allegedly sealed inside, giving this formidable marvel the power it needs to float so high above the ground.

After sailing amongst Madain Sari’s skies for a few months, now would mark the first time that people actually tread through the depths of the Lunatic Pandora. Walking in stride with the other members of his party was none other than Marquis Ondore himself. The marquis first learned of the Lunatic Pandora through an adventuring moogle who tipped the masses off regarding it. The emergence of this fortress certainly turned many heads, but no one arched their brow in suspicion until now. Attempting to create a detailed map out of the many halls of the Lunatic Pandora, Ondore traveled in pensive stride as he fiddled with a small device that looked to be a tracker of some kind.

“For now we shall continuing adventuring south…” The marquis stated as he eyed the touch-screen of his tracker. “We may not see all of what the Lunatic Pandora has to offer in one outing, but at least this is a good enough start.” Glancing over towards the nearest compatriot, Ondore’s gaze settled upon the long hall before them.

((ooc: Greetings~! Those who’ve volunteered for the Lunatic Pandora expedition are free to post whenever. This place is crawling with fiends, so you guys better ready! Also, there’s a chance that maybe Kuja might be lurking around here, so get ready to flee if need be.))

Two morons, specifically. Rishfee had taken advantage of the genome's busy state, the difficult visibility and the opening Auron gave to go to the other side of Kuja, busy casting his own spell. Chaotic eye- intended to silence the mage immediately should fortune have smiled upon him.

Auron took a bulk of the hit, flying backwards and grunting in pain when he crashed against the wall. He leaned on his sword and got to his feet, cracking his neck and swiveling his sword arm. Still working, good. He shot forward once more with his sword in both hands, aiming to make a deadly blow against Kuja on his right.

I'M TOTALLY ALIVE GUYS. I COULD JUST SEE THE MED-INDUCED RAINBOW IN MY LIVING ROOM FOR AWHILE. 8Db

Well, this could be troublesome if he let them get too close. He supposed he'd have to be grateful to be born with good agility. Much more so, for the large size of the hallway.

He laughed, dodging both spell and blow, though they had both come far too close for comfort. "I suppose it's time to even the odds."

From behind, the cries of dragons could be heard. Three Silver Dragons, in fact. "Now we enter Act Two."
