Tapas Adventuring RP 2020-2021!

[Legendofgenii]

The cliff drop was about 200 meters down to the rocky ground below.

“We could fly across?” Genii said. He was thinking of the feathered folk, and the Metals and Cate.

“I could help a few people who can’t.” He added, trying to figure out who would be light enough. “... I don’t think I can lift Makna though.” He definitely couldn’t.

Gemma rubbed her arm looking nervous. She hadn’t flown for well over a decade and never this high up. She had a quick look over the cliff edge and gulped.

“... what are you thinking Andrew?” Erras asked as he watched the sorcerer peering over the ledge.

Bellah was looking at the basalt columns in the wall beside them and wondering if they could climb across, but Makna might struggle to do that.

[DelythThomasArt]

Makna sat on the narrow path.

"Could someone fly over with a rope?"

[DualDragons]

"I have an idea." Andrew starts focusing and channeling his inner overlord powers. Cate sees what he is going to do and steps on her broomstick to catch him just in case he messes up big time.

Once he focused enough, fleshy protrushions erect from his back and start to envelop him. It was at this point, that Andrew jumped off the ledge.

[Legendofgenii]

“That’s a great idea!” Genii pointed at Aster. “Fly across with the rope, land on the other side and tie it to something... then people can get across...”

Dangling on the end of a rope? That idea terrified Gemma.

“That could wor-“ Erras was suddenly interrupted by Andrew declaring he had an idea, which was great... but the sorcerer didn’t share the idea - he just jumped off the cliff.

“What are you doing man!?” Erras bellowed after the Andrew. Gemma screamed and covered her eyes.

Bellah peered over the ledge to see what the fire breather was going to do.

Genii got closer to the edge too and was ready to jump after Andrew if he needed to.

[DualDragons]

It was tough, but the transformation was managed to be completed before Andrew hit the ground below. A fully grown red overlord, Vermillion, emerges from the flesh cocoon and lands on the ground with a tremor.

It turns around and starts to take off with its four wings. Vermillion (Andrew) was heading straight for the ledge gap. Clawing his way in the mountain right between the ledges to form a bridge with his shoulders.

Cate smiles as she witnesses Andrew, looks like he didn't need her help this time around.

[Legendofgenii]

The ground shook as Andrew hit the ground below, but the tremor didn’t dislodge more of the footpath luckily.

“Hah! Awesome!” Genii said staring at Vermillion below them. “Gem...” he waved to his sister who was whimpering behind her hands (afraid Andrew had splatted on the ground below). “... come and look... he’s fine.”

Gemma sniffled and clung to Genii by the edge of the path so she could see.

Genii, Gemma, Erras and Bellah all watched the red creature climb the cliff side and moved back once it reached the path.

“What is that thing!?” Gemma was squeezing Genii’s arm so tightly he complained about it.

“... that’s Andrew.” Erras had seen Andrew transform before back at the Niduu tree. “Look he’s bridged the gap. Let’s get across... one at a time.”

[DualDragons]

Andrew had anchored himself into the cliffside. His shoulders were big and able to be used as a bridge, though riddled with rock-like protrushions. People needed to watch their step while crossing.

[Legendofgenii]

“Gemma...” Erras offered his hand to help the Siren onto Vermillion’s shoulder.

Gemma hesitated at first, but stepped forward, took Erras’ hand and hopped over the slim gap between the ledge and Monster-Andrew. She whimpered and clung onto Vermillion’s protrusions as she carefully made her way through them. There was a similar gap once she reached the other side so she took a deep breath and jumped across it.

“Alright... that’s one, who’s next?” Erras gestured for the others to follow Gemma.

[DelythThomasArt]

Aster looked impressed, but some more warning would of been appreciated as Makna growled heckles raised. He patted the land dragon coaxing her to stand and get inline to make the crossing.

[DualDragons]

"I'll go." Danivere steps up to cross the 'bridge'.

[Legendofgenii]

Erras held out his hand for Danivere. “Watch your step.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll catch you if you fall off.” Genii said from behind, lining up to go next.

Bellah quietly followed after Aster and Makna. Just like back at the Niduu tree she was a bit nervous of heights. They should have taken the mountain tunnel.

[DelythThomasArt]

Astered offered his hand to Bellah

[Legendofgenii]

Bellah looked at Aster’s outstretched hand, and then up to his face. She smiled and took the Spirit Caller’s hand in her own.

Gemma waited on the other side of the gap, her back and wings pressed against the cliff side.

[DualDragons]

Danivere makes her way to the other side. When she lands, she lands rather unelegantly and almost loses balance. Thankfully she manages to fall towards the cliffside and not the ledge side.

[Legendofgenii]

Gemma sidestepped towards Danivere and went to help her up.

“YOU OK?” Genii couldn’t see past Andrew’s pointy bits, but he didn’t hear a scream so hopefully Dani had made it.

“Up you get...” Erras helped Genii onto Vermillion’s shoulder.

“Uh, this is weird.” Genii mumbled as he weaved through the rock-like tines, his tail sweeping behind him. “Thanks Andrew.”

Erras gestured to the next person in line to hurry.

[DualDragons]

"I'm fine!" Danivere replies back from the other side.

[DelythThomasArt]

Aster guides Bellah over, keeping hold of her hand. Makna rolled her eyes.

[Legendofgenii]

Genii jumped the gap between Vermillion and the path, hoping to a stop beside Danivere and Gemma.

Bellah held on tightly to Aster with one hand and clawed at Andrew’s protrusions with the other. She didn’t look comfortable (like a panicked cat).

Genii turned to see who was crossing next, smirking as he saw how frightened Bellah looked. She’d belittled him plenty of times for being scared of things, but he decided not to say anything.

[DualDragons]

Andrew was starting to slide away under everyone's weight. The rest would need to cross over soon.

[Kittyfox]

"'Cmon guys! What are you waiting for?" Aerith asked. She dashed across the 'bridge', her friends following close behind.
