[Nexus] The Treasure (and candy) Quest

[Maxios]

You're standing on a dustry road leading through a dark forest.

"The map says we go through here to get to the treasure." Maxios tells the othrs..

[McBish]

Oh we have a map, that is good. Having maps helps from getting lost.

Phoebe says smiling looking around the woods.

[Maxios]

"Indeed it does." Maxios says, motioning for the others to follow him into the forest.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Alec looks around the forest, snapping his fingers and causing sparks to fly out from between them. "Anybody need a light? I can get you a light really easy."

[Maxios]

"Hold on. I got a torch in my pack." Maxios says pulling a torch out. "Could you light this?"

[McBish]

Phoebe starts to follow. Sure some light would be good.

[Maxios]

"Indeed it would." Maxios says.

[InyutheBeatIs]

"Hold on. I got a torch in my pack." Maxios says pulling a torch out. "Could you light this?"

Alec puts a pointer finger at either side of the torch, pointing towards it. In a moment, electricity leaps between the two points, causing the torch to be lit in the process. Alec then makes a wiping hand motion, causing residual electricity to fly out. "That'll do it!" Then he notices one of the sparks caused a bit of a fire, and stamps it out quickly.

[Maxios]

"Thanks." Maxios says. Nearby, there's some rustling in the bushes.

[InyutheBeatIs]

"Thanks." Maxios says. Nearby, there's some rustling in the bushes.

Which of course causes Alec to look directly at the bushes.

[McBish]

Phoebe watches the bushes closely as she spots them rustling.

[Maxios]

And out from the bushes comes out a Creeper.

[McBish]

Hey look a green pixilated bush with a face. Hi there mister bush. Phoebe says waving to it.

[InyutheBeatIs]

And out from the bushes comes out a Creeper.

Alec stares blankly at the thing.

"...What is that?"

[Maxios]

The creeper snarls.
"Oh no. I hate Creepers." Maxios says drawing his sword and taking a step back.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Alec jumps back, and all of a sudden, his arms and fingers start to crackle with electricity, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning arcs towards the Creeper.

[Maxios]

The lightning slays the Creeper.
"Ah no." Maxios says taking 5 (very large) steps backwards.

[McBish]

What's a creeper? Then Alec shoots it with lighting, and Phoebe jumps back.

Why did you do that?

[InyutheBeatIs]

Alec looks around, a bit sheepish. "Too impulsive?"

He then takes Maxios's queue, and takes a few steps back, making sure Tacha follows suit.

[Maxios]

BOOM
The Creeper explodes, leaving a good sized crater where it was.
"Now that's why I hate Creepers. They blow up." Maxios says, jumping over the crater.

[McBish]

Phoebe raises her arms to shield her face from the explosion.

You didn't even try and talk to it before you blew it up? Big meanie. Phoebe says to Alec. She starts to walk after Maxios.

[Maxios]

"I've tried. Still blows up." Maxios tells Phoebe.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Phoebe raises her arms to shield her face from the explosion.

You didn't even try and talk to it before you blew it up? Big meanie. Phoebe says to Alec. She starts to walk after Maxios.

Alec shrugs. "Maxios said "I hate Creepers", so I figured they were bad guys and tried to defend us. Like I said, 'Too impulsive'."

[Maxios]

"It's okay. Creepers ALWAYS blow up when they get near you. They're basically walking dynamite." Maxios said.

[McBish]

Phoebe shrugs but still looks a little annoyed that they blew up mister bush. But she keeps moving on.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Alec drags Tacha with them.

[Maxios]

By now, they're all nearing the end of the forest.

[McBish]

So what are we looking for a cave, a floating castle. Or just a big treasure chest?

[Maxios]

"The map says that there's going to be a cave entrance of some sort." Maxios says. "Now, we've gone through the Forest of Gloom. And now we enter the Desert of Doom."
At that, everyone steps out from the forest...and into a desert.

[InyutheBeatIs]

"The map says that there's going to be a cave entrance of some sort." Maxios says. "Now, we've gone through the Forest of Gloom. And now we enter the Desert of Doom."
At that, everyone steps out from the forest...and into a desert.

((Hey guys, you think we should wait up for everybody else?))

Alec looks around. "...Talk about odd changes of scenery..."
