Conquering the Swamp [Dungeon|Open]

[Shinomori Katsumi]

Haji helped her onto her feet after sliding along the floor, and Katsumi bowed her head. "Thank you, Haji-kun."

She would then follow after Yukimura, searching warily for any traps or monsters.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Takehiro: a5fMKj|f

Group: �

[Oda Nobunaga]

Takehiro: The Stalker's head was crushed, and the Riders stumbled as it was thrown at them! Takehiro's fists collided with their faces, shattering their skulls! Their bodies dropped lifelessly to the ground, as the mercenary overcame the guardians of the chest!

Group: As they proceeded down the path, yet another wall would have spikes come out of it, and it would rush toward them! As they would run from it, they would come to yet ANOTHER fork, this time having to choose between simply left, or right! And if it made things easier, all along the walls, razor-sharp spinning blades were protruding! Also, on the right path, there was a chest! So that was cool!

[Amakusa Takehiro]

As the foes all collapsed to the ground, Takehiro cheered! He was totally expecting that to take a lot longer than it did. Oh well, though. He would pick up his weapons and take anything useful the Stalkers and Riders dropped, before heading back down the way he came! At least he recognized it from here.

[Sanada Yukimura]

"WHERE ARE ALL THESE WALLS COMING FROM!? I DIDN'T DO THIS EITHER MOREI-SAAAAAAAN!!"

Yukimura would scream, not bothering to turn at the sound of metal shooting out, running for his life yet again. And to make matters better, there was a fork, and both had razor-sharp discs protruding out from the walls. Without hesitation, Yukimura would take the right path, because treasure, making sure to run for his life straight down the middle of the hallway.

"WHERE THE HELL IS THAT ENTRANCE!?"

[Morei Haji]

"YOU MAKE IT HARD TO BLAME YOU WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT, SANADA-SAN!"

I'd shout, being sure to stay as close to the middle as possible as I ran behind him. The discs were like RAAAAH I'MMA CUT YOU and I was like AAAAH PLEASE DON'T HURT ME. Yukimura would take the right path, and I followed behind, spotting a treasure chest. I'd jumped up to it, kicking it open and instead of reaching down and grabbing the item, I'd use my fancy whip and grab the item with a loud WAPOW! Grabbing whatever treasure was hidden inside before following after the others. because carrying a chest would be much heavier

[Shinomori Katsumi]

Because of her speed, Katsumi was ahead of the others and, spotting the treasure chest, would head in that direction. Her small size made it easier for her, but she still made sure to run straight and with great haste down the middle. Noticing Haji taking the treasure, she would go wherever she needed to go.

"Quit bantering and RUN!"

[Oda Nobunaga]

Group: CTJbBdCD

[Oda Nobunaga]

Takehiro: The man would receive quite a large amount of armor, and would proceed down the path without incident! Especially since it was one he recognized!

Group: Turn by turn, wall by wall, traps would be released upon the group, be it spiked walls, or falling traps from the ceiling! After much incident, however, they would find themselves back in an area they recognized, the place they were in just after they fought the first Rider! And... they would see Takehiro running along, merrily!

[Amakusa Takehiro]

Takehiro was glad to see he had no trouble, but he was concerned for his teammates! Sprinting down the path, he could only hope they were okay! "DON'T WORRY GUYS! I'M COMING!"

Maybe they'd hear his voice and be inspired!

[Sanada Yukimura]

"WHAT DID YOU DO MOREI-SAN!? I HATE THIS MAAAAAAAZE!!"

Yukimura would scream as trap after trap was released the moment Haji grabbed the treasure, as he continued running for his life, Daimyo chest tightly clutched in his arm. After running for what seemed like forever, he'd find himself in an area he recognized, the area where they fought the first Rider... and see Takehiro running along merrily. As opposed to skipping >__> The only thing his voice inspired right now unfortunately, was irritation in Yukimura, seeing Takehiro equipped with more armor.

"Son..."

[Morei Haji]

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, SANADA-SAN! TROUBLE JUST FOLLOWS YOU!"

More traps sprung up, and it totally wasn't my fault. It's like some kind of randomly generated luck device was controlling everything. Yeah, had to be.

I'd continue to run for my life, opting to stay quiet after Katsumi yelled at us both. i'm sorry bby </3 and continued to follow Yukimura until we ran to a familiar area, only to hear a familiar voice. Looking down the path, I would see Takehiro... even futher decked out in awesome gear and running along without a care in the world.

"...of a..."

[Shinomori Katsumi]

Katsumi would continue sprinting, at this point a good distance away from the others. But she tried to stay behind at least to a degree. At hearing them continue, Katsumi turned her head and shouted, "SHUSH, YOU TWO!"

Really! They were acting like children! Of course, when they saw Takehiro and he had more armor and seemed pretty carefree, she was the one who began to act childish, feeling that spark of anger again. Oh, how she wanted to punch him! Even though he made it! Dick! If they made it out of this alive, she was going to hit him a few times for good measure.

"FUCK!" she shouted, growling as she glared at Takehiro but kept on running. Har har broke it broke iiiiit! /dances jig/ Her eyes told Takehiro without words, 'You are a dick, you know that?!'

[Oda Nobunaga]

Group: They would proceed along their path without incident, though still, the walls would begin to close in on them! They could not take their original path, either, seeing as it was blocked, and would have to take the one Takehiro chose in the beginning!

[Amakusa Takehiro]

Upon seeing his group, Takehiro smiled the happiest he'd ever looked, even with the walls closing in on them! "You guys are okay! Thank Amaterasu, I was so worried for you! Look, I've got you some equipment, if we make it out of here!" He would lead them down the path he took, hoping to avoid any and all traps they found! He would also remember to take the same portals!

"Follow me, guys, I'll get you to safety!"

Also, if Yukimura was having trouble with the chest, Takehiro would take it off his hands!

[Sanada Yukimura]

"Somehow... Spiked walls and razor-sharp discs aside, I'm glad you are alright Amakusa-san. And more!?"

He would exclaim, looking at him incredulously even though Katsumi wanted to rip him a new one. Following after Takehiro, he would have no trouble with the chest. His arm was unusable, but when it came to carrying things, he could still manage, and would politely decline Takehiro's assistance. He appreciated it though. Hopefully they reached the entrance without any incident, he was getting tired of running from traps.

;^;

[Morei Haji]

I cowered as Katsumi went off at Takehiro. Holy crap, was she scary at times. I was so glad she never directed any of that anger at me... at least, she hasn't yet. The day that comes, I'll have to dig a hole in the ground and bury myself in it because no where on earth would be safe. Yeah, I was scared of my girlfriend.

"Agreed. I'm glad that you're fine, Takehiro. Let's be off before we say anything else."

No sense in arguing here. I didn't want to die while Takehiro was aimlessly nice and Katsumi was super pissed. I followed along again, weapon at the ready, even though everything now just seemed to be traps...

[Shinomori Katsumi]

Bleh. Tired. Kat follows Tak in annoyance (deep down she's happy to see him though, just traps are stressful!), and avoids traps and spikes and shit. End of story. Meh.

[Oda Nobunaga]

Diving through the portals, the group had one last stretch to make, with the entrance right in front of them! The walls were closing in rapidly, and if they did not hurry, they would be crushed!

[Amakusa Takehiro]

Stopping at the entrance, Takehiro would usher the others out in a hurry, making sure they were all safe before he, too, would leap out of the maze! THIS WAS IT FOR THEM! WOULD THEY GET THE LOOT, OR BE CRUSHED TO DEATH?!

[Sanada Yukimura]

Hoofing it as fast as his legs could take him, Yukimura would leap through the door of the entrance, not needing Takehiro to usher him twice, because he didn't want to be crushed! FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF NUMA CASTLE Z!

[Morei Haji]

I booked it as fast as I could, the entrance being right in front of us. I didn't want to be a Haji pancake today. I would dive as I neared the entrance, just to leave in a dramatic fashion. My injured leg wouldn't agree with it, but it was worth it!

[Shinomori Katsumi]

Katsumi didn't need ushering. Probably because she was ahead of Takehiro at noticing the walls closing in on them, sprinting like a madwoman, and she was the first to jump through the entrance to safety (hopefully, lulz!)

[Oda Nobunaga]

Upon leaping from the entrance to the maze, all of the walls would tear down in a vortex of darkness, and the screams of lost souls could be heard. It, like the middle chamber, would be sealed of by a void of darkness that could not be passed any longer.

[OoC: Maze complete. Silver awarded. Use the next round or two to decide if you will be continuing the dungeon. Loot from Daimyo chests will not be handed out until dungeon completion. Loot from monsters and other sources will be handed out now.

Once out of the dungeon, Takehiro felt freaking amazing! The strength he felt, it was insane! And that jump he made took him all the way across the entrance! That was unbelievable! This stuff was insane!
