[Thread, Closed] First Myrrh Drop

[captain-rusty.livejournal.com]

Characters: Steiner, Eiko, Sephiroth, Rydia (?)
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: The quest to retrieve the myrrh drop from the ruins of Midgar.
Location: Midgar Ruins
Date: 10th June, 1805
Warnings: Fighting and stuff.

While the moogles had made the old Shinra Headquarters into their new Mognet Central, Midgar itself was still full of monsters. More of them than ever, in fact, since the Lunar Cry. Steiner therefore entered the ruins with some caution.

"I have heard that the tree is guarded by a metal scorpion!" he warned his companions. "We must be vigilant! It may strike without warning."

He didn't know his way around the ruins, so his current strategy was to head towards the areas most thickly infested by monsters. It seemed to be working, for in the distance he saw what appeared to be some kind of ancient momument - of what, he couldn't tell - and at its base grew a strange and twisted tree. Was that it?

It was turning out to be a busy month. First, Dark Bahamut's presence in Mysidia, now myrrh-gathering in Midgar...and soon, heading to the Water Shrine. Still, if Rydia was exhausted by the amount of work that had to be done, she wasn't showing it. The summoner had faced a more pressing schedule in the past, and she wasn't about to complain.

As the trio entered the ruins, Rydia peered around warily. This was a particularly bad place to be caught off-guard, so she planned to do her best to thwart that. Not knowing her way around the ruins of the city, she simply followed Steiner. As they drew closer to the tree, she raised her eyebrows.

"A metal scorpion? Do we know anything else about it?" Learning weaknesses were particularly important for those who used black magic...though if push came to shove, she supposed Bahamut and his Mega Flare could take care of nearly anything.
