He fixes things and makes sure that the AC doesn't go out and leave the entirety of the Zephyr building in a horrible hot sex-smelling pit. "I have to get out more, I have to get out more." He mutters to himself, almost seeming unstable as he starts heading for the temple, more because other folks were going there than for his own benefit. He saw some familiar faces. Others, not so much.<br> <br>Rev as he glances about frowns and after a moment takes on the smaller form of a dark wolf. Then accepts the canteen from meek, and takes a sip before handing it back. to meek as he passes her, and heads straight for the center passage. Just behind Fenris upon noticing that there seems to be a lot of things pointing it for a reason he is unsure of. But not before grabbing a torch with one of his new forms tentacles."let's try to stick together." He calls out to the others.<br> <br>Fenris hums to himself as he descends the stairs, taking in the carvings and etchings on the walls, trying to remember stories about mesoamerican gods.<br> <br>Meek tilts her head, her eyes softening with concern. "If you're a danger to yourself than I shall have to watch you the most closely." she says while placing a hand on Lila's shoulder. A warmth permeates from the phoenix as she smiles gently. She blinks, looking for the source of the voice. "We should certainly stick together. Could we make a plan?" she asks as if knowing she's herding cats.<br> <br>A tell tail clicking of talon on stone echoes down the hall as dragon fallows the foot prints further down the hall, Seguro's tail sways behind hir has the light begins to grow dim the further shi moves from the entrance, the light cast from hir scales barely enough to see by. Seguro begins to rummage in hir pack for an item shi rally uses a pair of Thermal Imaging Binoculars to guide hir way.<br> <br>Lila nods her head and walks up to the more carnivorous looking mutants. "Worse comes to worse I'm not great at fighting, but I'm a talented little thing with first aid, so long as you don't mind drinking a little milk. I've been told it's quite good though, so it shouldn't be all that bad." She looks to Meek and smiles. "If you feel you must I won't object," she says in her thick southern drawl and grabbed one of Meek's hands<br> <br>Caulford looks around at the Mesoamerican temple. The short stack of mutants with him as the only human. Fun. "Uh. Like, the movies are all like that these places are super trapped. Are we sure this place is safe?" He realized that was a stupid question the moment that it escaped his lips. He facepalms. "Nevermind. Stupid answer." The human in the air force jumpsuit coughs to mask the awkward that he's feeling at the moment.<br> <br>Meek beams as her hand is grasped, squeezing back lightly. "What do you say we try the middle one first?". "Oh, and I'm Meek by the way!" she adds happily, already pulling Lila towards the center tunnel.<br> <br>A stage down the steps, well lit from the torches previously grabbed, things are much much bigger. That wind continues, somehow, and in the center are three small statues. One looks like a warrior, holding a shield and a spear. Another looks some kind of shaman, holding a staff, sprinkling something. The last perhaps a farmer? A hoe in hand, looking ready to continue their work. There aren't any doors to be seen, only the way back up, including the one used, and two others.<br> <br>Lila smiles at Meek's reaction. "Nice to meet you Meek, I'm Lila," she says pleasantly and loudly, trying to introduce herself to the others as well. Her ears perk up at the sound of talons clicking on the ground, and steps closer to Meek, but looks to the stage and the statues on them. "Huh, pretty lookin' things, ain't they? The farmer vaguely reminds me of someone but... I can't quite remember who." She frowns, the image fuzzy, just out of her reach, but shrugs her shoulders. "I wonder what we're supposed to be doing here."<br> <br>Statues! Of course! There should always be statues in these temples! Fenris saunters up to the shaman statue and leans in close. "I think the medicine one is probably a good choice!" He says fishing around his coat for a minute before producing a little bag. He scoops some dust and dirt from the floor and hefts it in his hand thoughtfully. He poises himself befoe the statue, then quickly swaps the bag for the statue. "Just like the movies!" He cheers.<br> <br>Caulford adds to meek's introduction. "Aaron Caulford Dodson." He seems to say nearly automatically. "Just call me Caulford. Or A.C. I fix A.C.'s. It's, ah. Awesome to meet you Meek bird lady." He adjusts his plate carriers some and looksdown at the statues. "Huh. They plant the seeds, they harvest it, and it goes to feed the warriors? Or do the warriors get the land, then they plant the seeds on it..." He trails off, lost in thought.<br> <br>Rev pads up to the statues, and frowns. The tall wolf circles around the statues. Careful of his surroundings as to avoid setting off any traps. "Well now this is not exactly what I was expecting. He says while leaning in close to examine the warrior. The wolf raises an eywbrow as fenris removes one if the statues. <br> <br>Meek looks the statues over, "I can't make any sense of it" she says, cupping a hand under her beak. "But it's the farmers that nourish, the shaman that heals," she says pointing to each, "and the soldier that defends. These would be important roles to the Mayans. Maybe the other rooms will give us some more clues?" she asks, looking over each statue in detail.<br> <br>Lila furrows her brow and purses her lips. "Are you sure that's wise... um mister raccoon person?" she asks loudly, looking at the walls around them that suddenly felt too close. Her face grows still and she turns her head. "Hath? Hathor? Why... why did you get quiet? This isn't funny Hathor. Been talking to me non-stop for weeks and now you decide to stifle yourself? Say something, please?" She squeezes tighter on Meek's hand and a worried moo escapes her mouth. <br> <br>Fenris smiles affably around. "It seems like as good an idea as any!" he says, holding up the statue and looking it over. "Look!" he says, "The statues is happy!" Honestly, it is hard to tell with the mayan statue, but Fenris tends to project.<br> <br>Rev frowns as he catches sight of a brief movment. Before fenris replaces the statue. Then out of curiosity. He raches out, and picks up the bag. Then waits to see ehst happens while the others carry on with what they are doing.<br> <br>With a statue moved, there is the sounds of something moving! But, once the bag is placed down the moving once again stops. The wind had also picked up a bit, stopping once more with the bag placed there... however, the other statues start to sink down! Until Rev picks up the bag once more, movement heard once again.<br> <br>Caulford checks the surface where the statues were and tries to figure out the mechanism. "Dude, how th' hell..." He looks back at Rev with an accusatory glance. "Dude, I was gonna take a look at that!"<br> <br>Seguro moves further down the corridor always what seems a step behind, the dragon sniffs the air fresh scents of those who passed this way, some of them know to hir lila, Rev, and that nut dog from hir previous operations. With a quickened pace the dragon moves down the hall fallowing the dusty trail, the taping of claws on stone growing louder.as shi breaks into a run to catch up.<br> <br>Lila's eyes widen and her ears lift up, her concern for the goddess' silence falling away. "Are you trying to get us killed?" she said, not specifying either Rev or Fenris because she wasn't sure quite which one was liable to get them crushed more. SHe looks to Seguro and offers a weak wave. "Welcome to the party Seg, you came just in time for centuries old spikes to turn us into sishkebobs."<br> <br>"Seriously!?" Fenris cries out, "I go to the trouble of pulling an Indiana Jones and you MOVE THE BAG!?" The tanuki shakes his head and gently replaces the statue on its pedestal while he watches the others sink slowly into the stage. "Now we wait, I guess," he says, "Since there is nowhere else to go." The coon dog sits calmly on the stage.<br> <br>Caulford stands very still for a moment. He heard the... Something coming down the hall and immediately got creeped out, backing away slightly. He was about to draw weapon and level it, his hand moving to the M4 sling on his back, but he decided against when the little cow lady seemed to remember him. "Uh. Ms. Irish Coffee Lady, this, ah. Dragon safe to be around?" Once again, his head finally caught his mouth and his eyes went half-lidded at his own stupid questions.<br> <br>Rev rolls his eyes, but other than thst ignores caulfors complaint as he focues on the sound of movment, and looks around for it's source. And when Fenris complains he ignores that as well. As he heads towards the west end of the room.<br> <br>Seguro coming in, and with Rev checking out the west end of the floor, an opening in the wall can be seen as a slab slides downward. More stairs of course, and it is even windier down. A scent comes up from below, one that tickles the nose and the groin with equal messures.<br> <br>Fenris sighs. He is honestly more put off that his movie reference had gone unnoticed than by anything anyone has done. The tanuki gets over it quickly. Live in the now and all that. He trots over to the wall and sniffs interestedly at the scent wafting up. "Shall we?" he asks, smiling to his fellow adventurers before turning and ducking down the stairs, leaving the statue behind. He does not need it, after all.<br> <br>Caulford jumps at the new entrance that made itself known. Well, only one direction /to/ go. "A-alright, who's takin' point on th' way down th' stairs?" Caulford's words were getting strained, uneven. His voice fluctuated with fear. "I'm guessin' you, Mr. Raiders of th' Lost Ark?"<br> <br>Rev starts running as he sees the slab of stone. This way he shouts as he slides under the slab of stone just behind fenris, and stumbles down the strairs passing Fenris as he does. The wolf uses his tentacles to catch his balance as he follows the scent down the stairs. He of course doesnt stop till he reaches the bottom of the stairs..<br> <br>Lila claps a hand to her nose and whimpers, her tauric lower half prancing a bit as the need in her loins grows in strength. "Oh great, just what I need, to be hornier than I already am. Ain't bad enough I'm in heat, but now there's this?" she walks to the spiral staircase and groans. "The smell's just going to get stronger as we go down, ain't it? I apologize in advance if I start grinding against any of you, my mind's not in the best way when I'm all horny and dripping." She starts down the steps after Fenris, her hand parting from Meek's in the fear that she might not be able to control herself with how she felt. <br> <br>A large rutabaga slips form the dragon's pack and rolls into the room colliding with lilla foot as Seguro arrives in the room to see the collection of agents standing here. The dragon looks embarked as shi asks the party. "what is going on here?"<br> <br>Caulford puts on his best sarcastic voice. "Oh, you know. Figured there was a big temple that sprouted out of the ground, so we should totes go on a magical hiking trip and-" Yes, Aaron. Antagonize the dragon. Hey, have you heard the joke about the wise guy and the dragon? How the latter likes the former crunchy with a side of ketchup? He immediately shut up and gulped. "Ah, S-sorry." He looked down and sniffed a few times. "What is that smell?" There was a certain bit of stirring going on, but he had no idea why. Human noses.<br> <br>Fenris continues to hum quietly to himself. He is having a grand old time exploring the strange new temple and is hardly even phased when the enormous Fenrir Wolf barrels past him. "Dum-de-dum-daaaaaa! Dum-de-daaaaa!" he chuckles quietly when Caulford mentions the Raiders of the Lost Ark. While the tantalizing scent certainly has its effect on him, his drive for more carnal pleasures had dropped significantly when he had taken up the tanuki way. He is still very interested to see what lies ahead.<br> <br>Lila looks down at the rutabaga at her feet and picks it up, offering it back to Seguro as she keeps her hand on her nose. "Hell if I know. My own personal little goddess, WHO IS BEING A REAL BITCH BY BEING SO QUIET, brought me here while I was on my way to the planetarium to lie down for a rest. I came here to calm her down a bit." She stretches out her arm as far as she can to keep herself as far from the tall draconic herm as she could. "I apologize for being so rude, my self control is not what it used to be."<br> <br>The alluring smells continue to come up from below. The stone slab sliding down to completely open the door, but Rev jumping and sliding over it, and quickly barreling down the hall, breaking the thin wire that Fenris had seen! Small darts fire from the walls at those inside the stairway leading downward!<br> <br>Caulford pointed a few times, then coughed. "I think I'm gonna go down those stairs, that's what I'm gonna do." And so, he bravely (read: on his tippy toes expecting something to go wrong at any moment) bounded (creeped) into the unknown... Right after the darts got done spearing things in there. "Darts and bullets always have right of way." He reminded himself, taking this moment to hand Lila a small wet nap out of his pack.<br> <br>:Shakes hir head at lila words, the dragon returning the vegetable back to hir nano pack. As shi hisses "Its odd this temple appeared so close to my home, its worrisome that another planer as proofed right upon the solar staining grounds , I I wonder if we would be better off sealing the temple up with cement and letting the past be?" The dragon looks to the stairway and carefully fallows behind the rest of the group. Activating hir own power nanite shielding powers the lion within as its sometimes called to help protect hir group from the dangers that lie ahead.<br> <br>Spotting the wire just as Rev trips it, the Tanuki gleefully cries out, "TRAP!" and drops into a fast slide down the stairs with a WHOOP! of joy. "Adventure!" he laughs happily as he slides under the flying darts and down the stairs toward whatever was making those very interesting smells!<br> <br>Lila furrows her brow at the hand nap but looks around and surreptitiously cleans herself off, clearing her throat but trying to avoid drawing much attention to the act as she discards the wet nap. "I'm not so sure we need to go that far Seguro, we-" Her eyes widen at the darts and she shuts her mouth, hearing the clatter of darts. "On second thought maybe we shoul-" She closes her eyes and brings a pair of hands to her temples. "Okay, Hathor, no cement. Heaven's above, you leave me all alone, then yell at me when it's inconvenient for you? I miss the days where all you told me was that I was a good cow."<br> <br>Rev walks through the wave of incoming darts not even bothering to dodge. Once he notices a few hit him, and just bounce off his highly toughened flesh. And once he manages to make it past the dart laungers he curses in irritation. Since he hae missed the tripwire. As he glances about, and sniffs the air. <br> <br>Deeper in, and on a very interesting floor. There is an alter in the center, and standing before it a statue, slightly covered in the chilled moss. The wind seems to somehow be coming off from the statue itself! The scents build and build, blowing outward on the wind. It tickles at the groin, wetting cunts and stiffening cocks. While the physical is unavoidable, how it effects the mind is not. Each adventurer having their own way of handling what is done to their body, stealing away their minds, keeping them safe, mostly. Lining the far sides of this room are some strange clubs, with what look like black scales on them.<br> <br>Fenris saunters blithely across the room. If he is having trouble with the pheremone laden breeze, he does not show it. The burly tanuki's genitalia remain safely hidden as he saunters over to examine the statue and beyond to poke at the clubs lined up against the wall. "What do you suppose these are?" he asks the room in general.<br> <br>Rev glanc<br> <br>Lila follows the others down the steps and freezes as the scent strikes her nostrils, even through her hand over it. She shivers and her knees buckle, the heat in her loins aching painfully. She squeezes her eyes shut and hears Hathor's whisper in her mind, for once trying to calm her and keep her focused instead of relenting to the desire the goddess was always encouraging her to indulge. "I don't know, but gods and goddesses is it making my thighs wet," Lila said in response to Fenris' question. <br> <br>Caulford winces gravely, coming down the stairs after the darts run out, and even then with a huge amount of caution. Whether it be by chemistry or just strong morals, he managed not to do anything he would regret when the wave of that scent wofted through his nostrils. "Ugh. It's like morning wood, except worse." He mumbled.<br> <br>Rev glances about the room as his dual shafts quickly begin to rise. And after a second of the wolf simply stops breathing. To avoid strengthening the effects the scent from the statue seems to be causing. He approaches the statue. Closely eyeying it while keeping himself from bresthing. As he grabs his ebony blade from the pacl on his back, and srapes a some of the moss from the statue, and into a pouch he also took from his bag.<br> <br>Caulford puffs his chest out wth pride. This is his moment. Nay, this is the thing that he has been training all his life to do. "STEP ASIDE, CITIZENS, Let a lisenced air conditioning technician find out how this creepy statue works!"

"I admit," he says, "I sort of expected more." He idly pats Rev on the giant, monster snout as if he were an oversized pet dog as he passes.

"Please don't mention wood," she says, the smell still filling her nostrils, though she had no need to breathe herself, though she was too distracted by her heat to realize this at the moment.

As he spends a moment longer to examine the statue. Before moving on to check out the clubs. Whuch he closely examines.<br> <br>"Why, those are the tools used by those who would defend me and my temple." Comes a voice, loud from the statue. The eyes light up, though the statue otherwise remains unmoving. "And this is my temple, welcome. I can see that there are those among you that already pay me respects." Shi says, looking to Seguro and to Lila. "I thank you both, for already enjoying in what I have to offer." The statue seems to stop and listen, to 'look' about though the eyes don't move. It is just a normal statue, made from granite. Or so it would seem. "Welcome, the rest of you, to Ixchel's temple. You are the first visiters I've had in a long while, though this is the first day that I've made this place one of my homes in your realm." The voice continues! "Creepy ass thing am I though? Maybe someone wishes me to recend my blessings? And careful with those, they are old, but still very sharp!"<br> <br>Fenris perks up considerably when the supernatural voice starts to speak. "Ah! Forgive the intrusion, Lady," he says, bowing low to the statue. He is nothing if not polite. It is the tanuki way, after all. "You have a very interesting home!" he continues, "But what do you mean that there are already worshipers here if you have not manifested before?"<br> <br>Caulford opens his mouth to speak, and then promptly closes it. He just has this absolutely clueless expression on his face. The wind was just coming from the statue. The statue was talking to him. This is what is happening now. "Ah. Um. What?" Was all the verbal communication he's really able to manage. A statue of a god just pimped into existence and started talking about handing out blessings. "I'm just gonna let you guys handle this one. I, uh. Turns out this wasn't really my moment after all." He looked mildly hurt. He really, really wanted it to be his moment!<br> <br>Lila's ears pull back and her head dips a little. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was someone in the statue, I...." She frowns and hesitantly steps forward, dropping her hands from her nose and ears she kneels in front of the altar. It wasn't Hathor, but she seemed to be please with Lila's reaction to her fellow goddess. She keeps her head low, not looking up, but keeping her hands on her stomach. "My... my Lady, if I haven't already offended you too much, would you be so kind as to tell us your name?"<br> <br>Rev raises hus head feom where he had been eyeing the scaled clubs. He scratches his chin while listening to Ixchel speak. "Hmmmmm interesting I have never met a goddess before. Well it is a pleasure to meet you Miss ." He says as he briefly touches one of the clubs, and moves bck towards the statue."<br> <br>The dragon hiss at the strange voice from the statue. "An acolyte of the Radiant One bids you greetings, but why have you chosen to manifest your temple so close to our own? And in the middle of our testing ground no less? For now my patron watches though my eyes and hears though my ears ask what you will. Why have you come to a town?" The dragon's tail sways slowly awaiting the voices response.<br> <br>"I am Ixchel, though don't expect me to stay for too long. All who come here may make an offering to recieve my blessing, anytime, though I may be too busy to always make a personal apperance. Use my gifts though, to bring forth new life, and to help hold those whos lives are endangered. My gifts are ease in birth, greater protagy, greater potental, and a better ability with medicine. Through the use of my gifts, these herbs, as well as my radiant power, you will be able to keep many safe." She says, looking to Seguro, "These mountains carry not the power of another, though the peaks do. I come here to bring the offering of my blessing, and nothing more. For I can offer much. These mountains remind me of the homes I've had before, and carried enough unclaimed power for me to be here." She says. The scent slowly fades, eyes glowing less and less, "Though, it is hard to speak through this statue. I must be going. Use the alter, use my herbs, use my radiant power, and bring into this world the next, and tend to those already here." She says as her voice fades...<br> <br>Caulford backs off a little bit and lets the magic folks have their magic statue. He walked to the corner of the room, wiped off his jumpsuit, and tried to meditate his painfully erect member back to a reasonable level of arousal. "Why can't I ever be cool guy?" He whispers to himself.<br> <br>Fenris bows respectfully to the statue as the voice of the goddess fades. As soon as she is gone, the curious Tanuki sets to exploring the room. Always interesting to meet a new supernatural in Fairhaven. The big guy wanders over to the altar and sniffs at the herbs there with interest. "Very exciting!" He says to no one in particular.<br> <br>Lila smiles lightly at the gifts Ixchel's bounty gave. Easy birth, greater progeny, potential, and skills with Medicine. It was perfect. "So that's why you wanted me here Hathor," she said lifting her head and standing up, chuckling lightly. "You don't have the strength to help me yourself, but Ixchel does. Thank you." She lets loose a sigh as the scent ebbs away and the need in her loins faids, just a little but not quite so much that she doesn't feel the compulsion to lift her tail were a suitable stud to present thmeselves. She turns and rummages through her saddle bag. She pulls out a bottle of milk and places it on the altar. "My milk, for healing and for mothering, I hope you find it a suitable offering Lady Ixchel," she says with a reverance as she lowers her head and steps back as graciously as she could from the altar.

It is a bit chilly, and even more so up on the mountain side. The wind blows through, making all but the thickest of furs nearly useless against it. Upon the horizian though is something quite different. A temple, a pyamid! Was not there yesterday, but is there today. It stands at least nine stories tall, stairs leading on the outside directly to the top. All about it is only chilled moss and a few cracks and chips in the stones making up the outside.
Fenris was lounging around at the Teanuki Cafe when the lightning struck. The round tanuki decided to investgate, just fir fun and comes trotting happily down the trail toward the strange new pyramid. He does not even alow at the oddity of its presence, having gotten a little innured to the strangeness of the supernatural after some of his more recent exploits. "Adventure ho!" He cheers happily.
Lila stared at the curiously placed pyramid, something about its presence making her skin tingle. She felt strangely drawn to it, the melodic voice in her head telling her she should be making her way with all due haste to the base instead of continuing to the planetarium, but she was reluctant. Mysteries such as these tended to spell danger in the post world, and both pregnant and nearly naked it was sure to spell p-day, and yet the voice wouldn't stop. "Alright, alright Hath, I'll go, just stop yelling," she said to herself, rubbing at her right ear.
Rev makes the approach to the new temple one of his more adventurous personalites having taken control of his body, and gone to check out the splitting in the sky. That he had spotted from near the zephyr building. The big wolf glances over thd pyramid, and tilts his head in a curiouse fashion. As he looks about at the others as they arrive. Before padding closer to the structure in search of the entrance. "Well well well this should be fun."
Another flash of lightning strikes upon the pyramid, the sun setting quickly in the background. The wind continues to pick up. There feels to be a strange presences within the structure, or something else perhaps. It is hard to tell from a distance.
Fenris trots up with a smile on his round, mask-marked face. "Hello, wolf!" he says to Rev, "Hello, cow!" The big tanuki seems to feel that this is sufficient introduction and that now they are all the best of friends! With that out if the way, he jogs happily through the temple doors. No point in putting it off!
Rev nods to fhe others in turn, and heads up the stairs to the entrance at a brisk but steady pace. Though being as he is rather large he does take more than one step at a time compared to thise that are arrived to check the pyramid out. That arr smaller than the large wolf.
A soft, concerned voice echoes from the entrance. "Umm, h-hello?" Meek calls before stepping in. She looks about curiously at the interior, her avian eyes flitting from one detail to the next.
Walking inside, it is musty, dusty, cold, and full of more moss. It is dark, completely dark inside. For a moment anyway, until torches all along the sides light themselves! There is a small opening, doors leading in and downward, three of them. There are some carvings along the sides of the walls. Rev and Fenris, a bit winded from the walk up all those stairs. Meek, doing quite fine having flew up instead, and with Lila still climbing to get inside.
Fenris huffs and puffs a bit in the magically lit antechamber. The tanuki ambles over to examine the symbols on the wall, humming softly to himself. "Well!" He says, "That was bracing, wasn't it!"
Lila huffs and pants as she climbs up the stairs, her short legs and the weight of her two pregnant looking bellies making the travel all the more difficult. "I'm moving as fast as I can Hath, please, cut me some slack," she said to no one but herself. She rolled her eyes and groaned. "Fine, /Hathor/. You mind telling me what this damned thing is anyway? ... well there's no reason to get all condescending. I asked a simple ques... fine, fine, I'll shut up."
Rev takes a seat, and pants as he attempts to catch his breath. As he looks over the symbols on the wall while nodding in agreement. "I am not in as good of shape as I used to me." He mutters as he Moves on from looking over the symbols on the walls, and moves on deeper into the pyramid. Looking for anything more of his expertise to examine.
Meek flies past the others on the stairs, "Oh, hi!" she chirps while waving happily. She talons reach for the ground at the top, her wings flit twice before snapping tightly against her back. With no small amount of levity she darts immediately to the carvings. "Oh, my..." the phoenix chirps, bending over to study them further. "I remember these from a book I read on Mayans" she calls to the others. She offers Rev her canteen distractedly as she looks around. "What a beautiful place"
A large solar dragon flies on hir way back to hir home in an old planetarium, hir packs stuffed with edibles scavenged from within the east forest t. Having flown over the Mountain pass hundreds of times already spies a odd slight, what appears to be a large temple close somewhat close to hir paton's dedication point. A graceful flutter of hi gleaming wings sets hir self-down upon the temple's upper steps and survey s the scene, hir gaze turning to the foot prints in the dust, seems other have been this way, Seguro presses inside wary of what shi may find within.
A wind picks up, blowing in from seemingly nowhere. There is little more to note in this room itself, other than the three doors leading downward. The torches flicker in the light, held in place by a single metel band, easily removed.
Fenris runs a hand over some of the carvings. "Fertility symbols," he says, "Of course." The tanuki ambles around, looking at the three openings. "I tend to like the middle one," he says with a smile, "There may be traps, but it seems to me that the supernaturals WANT to meet people! Right?" The hefty coon dog plucks a torch from the wall and starts into the central stair without waiting to see if the others will follow.
Meek leaves the canteen for Rev as she makes her way over to Lila. "Are you alright?" she asks, looking them over with concern.
"Fertility?" Lila asked at Fenris's words and shook her head. "So that's why you were in such a rush. She stopped to takr a breath as Meek came over. "Oh, sorry about the ramblings. I've got a goddess whispering in my head. She's all excited about this pyramid and it's making a bit hard to think. Don't worry about me though, I'm a little feral, but the only person I'm a danger to is myself."
Caulford is not a hiking person. Caulford is not even really an outdoorsy person. He fixes things and makes sure that the AC doesn't go out and leave the entirety of the Zephyr building in a horrible hot sex-smelling pit. "I have to get out more, I have to get out more." He mutters to himself, almost seeming unstable as he starts heading for the temple, more because other folks were going there than for his own benefit. He saw some familiar faces. Others, not so much.
Rev as he glances about frowns and after a moment takes on the smaller form of a dark wolf. Then accepts the canteen from meek, and takes a sip before handing it back. to meek as he passes her, and heads straight for the center passage. Just behind Fenris upon noticing that there seems to be a lot of things pointing it for a reason he is unsure of. But not before grabbing a torch with one of his new forms tentacles."let's try to stick together." He calls out to the others.
Fenris hums to himself as he descends the stairs, taking in the carvings and etchings on the walls, trying to remember stories about mesoamerican gods.
Meek tilts her head, her eyes softening with concern. "If you're a danger to yourself than I shall have to watch you the most closely." she says while placing a hand on Lila's shoulder. A warmth permeates from the phoenix as she smiles gently. She blinks, looking for the source of the voice. "We should certainly stick together. Could we make a plan?" she asks as if knowing she's herding cats.
A tell tail clicking of talon on stone echoes down the hall as dragon fallows the foot prints further down the hall, Seguro's tail sways behind hir has the light begins to grow dim the further shi moves from the entrance, the light cast from hir scales barely enough to see by. Seguro begins to rummage in hir pack for an item shi rally uses a pair of Thermal Imaging Binoculars to guide hir way.
Lila nods her head and walks up to the more carnivorous looking mutants. "Worse comes to worse I'm not great at fighting, but I'm a talented little thing with first aid, so long as you don't mind drinking a little milk. I've been told it's quite good though, so it shouldn't be all that bad." She looks to Meek and smiles. "If you feel you must I won't object," she says in her thick southern drawl and grabbed one of Meek's hands
Caulford looks around at the Mesoamerican temple. The short stack of mutants with him as the only human. Fun. "Uh. Like, the movies are all like that these places are super trapped. Are we sure this place is safe?" He realized that was a stupid question the moment that it escaped his lips. He facepalms. "Nevermind. Stupid answer." The human in the air force jumpsuit coughs to mask the awkward that he's feeling at the moment.
Meek beams as her hand is grasped, squeezing back lightly. "What do you say we try the middle one first?". "Oh, and I'm Meek by the way!" she adds happily, already pulling Lila towards the center tunnel.
A stage down the steps, well lit from the torches previously grabbed, things are much much bigger. That wind continues, somehow, and in the center are three small statues. One looks like a warrior, holding a shield and a spear. Another looks some kind of shaman, holding a staff, sprinkling something. The last perhaps a farmer? A hoe in hand, looking ready to continue their work. There aren't any doors to be seen, only the way back up, including the one used, and two others.
Lila smiles at Meek's reaction. "Nice to meet you Meek, I'm Lila," she says pleasantly and loudly, trying to introduce herself to the others as well. Her ears perk up at the sound of talons clicking on the ground, and steps closer to Meek, but looks to the stage and the statues on them. "Huh, pretty lookin' things, ain't they? The farmer vaguely reminds me of someone but... I can't quite remember who." She frowns, the image fuzzy, just out of her reach, but shrugs her shoulders. "I wonder what we're supposed to be doing here."
Statues! Of course! There should always be statues in these temples! Fenris saunters up to the shaman statue and leans in close. "I think the medicine one is probably a good choice!" He says fishing around his coat for a minute before producing a little bag. He scoops some dust and dirt from the floor and hefts it in his hand thoughtfully. He poises himself befoe the statue, then quickly swaps the bag for the statue. "Just like the movies!" He cheers.
Caulford adds to meek's introduction. "Aaron Caulford Dodson." He seems to say nearly automatically. "Just call me Caulford. Or A.C. I fix A.C.'s. It's, ah. Awesome to meet you Meek bird lady." He adjusts his plate carriers some and looksdown at the statues. "Huh. They plant the seeds, they harvest it, and it goes to feed the warriors? Or do the warriors get the land, then they plant the seeds on it..." He trails off, lost in thought.
Rev pads up to the statues, and frowns. The tall wolf circles around the statues. Careful of his surroundings as to avoid setting off any traps. "Well now this is not exactly what I was expecting. He says while leaning in close to examine the warrior. The wolf raises an eywbrow as fenris removes one if the statues.
Meek looks the statues over, "I can't make any sense of it" she says, cupping a hand under her beak. "But it's the farmers that nourish, the shaman that heals," she says pointing to each, "and the soldier that defends. These would be important roles to the Mayans. Maybe the other rooms will give us some more clues?" she asks, looking over each statue in detail.
Lila furrows her brow and purses her lips. "Are you sure that's wise... um mister raccoon person?" she asks loudly, looking at the walls around them that suddenly felt too close. Her face grows still and she turns her head. "Hath? Hathor? Why... why did you get quiet? This isn't funny Hathor. Been talking to me non-stop for weeks and now you decide to stifle yourself? Say something, please?" She squeezes tighter on Meek's hand and a worried moo escapes her mouth.
Fenris smiles affably around. "It seems like as good an idea as any!" he says, holding up the statue and looking it over. "Look!" he says, "The statues is happy!" Honestly, it is hard to tell with the mayan statue, but Fenris tends to project.
Rev frowns as he catches sight of a brief movment. Before fenris replaces the statue. Then out of curiosity. He raches out, and picks up the bag. Then waits to see ehst happens while the others carry on with what they are doing.
With a statue moved, there is the sounds of something moving! But, once the bag is placed down the moving once again stops. The wind had also picked up a bit, stopping once more with the bag placed there... however, the other statues start to sink down! Until Rev picks up the bag once more, movement heard once again.
Caulford checks the surface where the statues were and tries to figure out the mechanism. "Dude, how th' hell..." He looks back at Rev with an accusatory glance. "Dude, I was gonna take a look at that!"
Seguro moves further down the corridor always what seems a step behind, the dragon sniffs the air fresh scents of those who passed this way, some of them know to hir lila, Rev, and that nut dog from hir previous operations. With a quickened pace the dragon moves down the hall fallowing the dusty trail, the taping of claws on stone growing louder.as shi breaks into a run to catch up.
Lila's eyes widen and her ears lift up, her concern for the goddess' silence falling away. "Are you trying to get us killed?" she said, not specifying either Rev or Fenris because she wasn't sure quite which one was liable to get them crushed more. SHe looks to Seguro and offers a weak wave. "Welcome to the party Seg, you came just in time for centuries old spikes to turn us into sishkebobs."
"Seriously!?" Fenris cries out, "I go to the trouble of pulling an Indiana Jones and you MOVE THE BAG!?" The tanuki shakes his head and gently replaces the statue on its pedestal while he watches the others sink slowly into the stage. "Now we wait, I guess," he says, "Since there is nowhere else to go." The coon dog sits calmly on the stage.
Caulford stands very still for a moment. He heard the... Something coming down the hall and immediately got creeped out, backing away slightly. He was about to draw weapon and level it, his hand moving to the M4 sling on his back, but he decided against when the little cow lady seemed to remember him. "Uh. Ms. Irish Coffee Lady, this, ah. Dragon safe to be around?" Once again, his head finally caught his mouth and his eyes went half-lidded at his own stupid questions.
Rev rolls his eyes, but other than thst ignores caulfors complaint as he focues on the sound of movment, and looks around for it's source. And when Fenris complains he ignores that as well. As he heads towards the west end of the room.
Seguro coming in, and with Rev checking out the west end of the floor, an opening in the wall can be seen as a slab slides downward. More stairs of course, and it is even windier down. A scent comes up from below, one that tickles the nose and the groin with equal messures.
Fenris sighs. He is honestly more put off that his movie reference had gone unnoticed than by anything anyone has done. The tanuki gets over it quickly. Live in the now and all that. He trots over to the wall and sniffs interestedly at the scent wafting up. "Shall we?" he asks, smiling to his fellow adventurers before turning and ducking down the stairs, leaving the statue behind. He does not need it, after all.
Caulford jumps at the new entrance that made itself known. Well, only one direction /to/ go. "A-alright, who's takin' point on th' way down th' stairs?" Caulford's words were getting strained, uneven. His voice fluctuated with fear. "I'm guessin' you, Mr. Raiders of th' Lost Ark?"
Rev starts running as he sees the slab of stone. This way he shouts as he slides under the slab of stone just behind fenris, and stumbles down the strairs passing Fenris as he does. The wolf uses his tentacles to catch his balance as he follows the scent down the stairs. He of course doesnt stop till he reaches the bottom of the stairs..
Lila claps a hand to her nose and whimpers, her tauric lower half prancing a bit as the need in her loins grows in strength. "Oh great, just what I need, to be hornier than I already am. Ain't bad enough I'm in heat, but now there's this?" she walks to the spiral staircase and groans. "The smell's just going to get stronger as we go down, ain't it? I apologize in advance if I start grinding against any of you, my mind's not in the best way when I'm all horny and dripping." She starts down the steps after Fenris, her hand parting from Meek's in the fear that she might not be able to control herself with how she felt.
A large rutabaga slips form the dragon's pack and rolls into the room colliding with lilla foot as Seguro arrives in the room to see the collection of agents standing here. The dragon looks embarked as shi asks the party. "what is going on here?"
Caulford puts on his best sarcastic voice. "Oh, you know. Figured there was a big temple that sprouted out of the ground, so we should totes go on a magical hiking trip and-" Yes, Aaron. Antagonize the dragon. Hey, have you heard the joke about the wise guy and the dragon? How the latter likes the former crunchy with a side of ketchup? He immediately shut up and gulped. "Ah, S-sorry." He looked down and sniffed a few times. "What is that smell?" There was a certain bit of stirring going on, but he had no idea why. Human noses.
Fenris continues to hum quietly to himself. He is having a grand old time exploring the strange new temple and is hardly even phased when the enormous Fenrir Wolf barrels past him. "Dum-de-dum-daaaaaa! Dum-de-daaaaa!" he chuckles quietly when Caulford mentions the Raiders of the Lost Ark. While the tantalizing scent certainly has its effect on him, his drive for more carnal pleasures had dropped significantly when he had taken up the tanuki way. He is still very interested to see what lies ahead.
Lila looks down at the rutabaga at her feet and picks it up, offering it back to Seguro as she keeps her hand on her nose. "Hell if I know. My own personal little goddess, WHO IS BEING A REAL BITCH BY BEING SO QUIET, brought me here while I was on my way to the planetarium to lie down for a rest. I came here to calm her down a bit." She stretches out her arm as far as she can to keep herself as far from the tall draconic herm as she could. "I apologize for being so rude, my self control is not what it used to be."
The alluring smells continue to come up from below. The stone slab sliding down to completely open the door, but Rev jumping and sliding over it, and quickly barreling down the hall, breaking the thin wire that Fenris had seen! Small darts fire from the walls at those inside the stairway leading downward!
Caulford pointed a few times, then coughed. "I think I'm gonna go down those stairs, that's what I'm gonna do." And so, he bravely (read: on his tippy toes expecting something to go wrong at any moment) bounded (creeped) into the unknown... Right after the darts got done spearing things in there. "Darts and bullets always have right of way." He reminded himself, taking this moment to hand Lila a small wet nap out of his pack.
:Shakes hir head at lila words, the dragon returning the vegetable back to hir nano pack. As shi hisses "Its odd this temple appeared so close to my home, its worrisome that another planer as proofed right upon the solar staining grounds , I I wonder if we would be better off sealing the temple up with cement and letting the past be?" The dragon looks to the stairway and carefully fallows behind the rest of the group. Activating hir own power nanite shielding powers the lion within as its sometimes called to help protect hir group from the dangers that lie ahead.
Spotting the wire just as Rev trips it, the Tanuki gleefully cries out, "TRAP!" and drops into a fast slide down the stairs with a WHOOP! of joy. "Adventure!" he laughs happily as he slides under the flying darts and down the stairs toward whatever was making those very interesting smells!
Lila furrows her brow at the hand nap but looks around and surreptitiously cleans herself off, clearing her throat but trying to avoid drawing much attention to the act as she discards the wet nap. "I'm not so sure we need to go that far Seguro, we-" Her eyes widen at the darts and she shuts her mouth, hearing the clatter of darts. "On second thought maybe we shoul-" She closes her eyes and brings a pair of hands to her temples. "Okay, Hathor, no cement. Heaven's above, you leave me all alone, then yell at me when it's inconvenient for you? I miss the days where all you told me was that I was a good cow."
Rev walks through the wave of incoming darts not even bothering to dodge. Once he notices a few hit him, and just bounce off his highly toughened flesh. And once he manages to make it past the dart laungers he curses in irritation. Since he hae missed the tripwire. As he glances about, and sniffs the air.
Deeper in, and on a very interesting floor. There is an alter in the center, and standing before it a statue, slightly covered in the chilled moss. The wind seems to somehow be coming off from the statue itself! The scents build and build, blowing outward on the wind. It tickles at the groin, wetting cunts and stiffening cocks. While the physical is unavoidable, how it effects the mind is not. Each adventurer having their own way of handling what is done to their body, stealing away their minds, keeping them safe, mostly. Lining the far sides of this room are some strange clubs, with what look like black scales on them.
Fenris saunters blithely across the room. If he is having trouble with the pheremone laden breeze, he does not show it. The burly tanuki's genitalia remain safely hidden as he saunters over to examine the statue and beyond to poke at the clubs lined up against the wall. "What do you suppose these are?" he asks the room in general.
Rev glanc
Lila follows the others down the steps and freezes as the scent strikes her nostrils, even through her hand over it. She shivers and her knees buckle, the heat in her loins aching painfully. She squeezes her eyes shut and hears Hathor's whisper in her mind, for once trying to calm her and keep her focused instead of relenting to the desire the goddess was always encouraging her to indulge. "I don't know, but gods and goddesses is it making my thighs wet," Lila said in response to Fenris' question.
Caulford winces gravely, coming down the stairs after the darts run out, and even then with a huge amount of caution. Whether it be by chemistry or just strong morals, he managed not to do anything he would regret when the wave of that scent wofted through his nostrils. "Ugh. It's like morning wood, except worse." He mumbled.
Rev glances about the room as his dual shafts quickly begin to rise. And after a second of the wolf simply stops breathing. To avoid strengthening the effects the scent from the statue seems to be causing. He approaches the statue. Closely eyeying it while keeping himself from bresthing. As he grabs his ebony blade from the pacl on his back, and srapes a some of the moss from the statue, and into a pouch he also took from his bag.
Caulford puffs his chest out wth pride. This is his moment. Nay, this is the thing that he has been training all his life to do. "STEP ASIDE, CITIZENS, Let a lisenced air conditioning technician find out how this creepy statue works!" He barked out in a heroic voice. He held his breath for a little bit, walked up to the statue, and took peeks on where the air might be coming from next to the statue and how the mechanism might work before walking off to get fresher air.
Fenris wanders happily around the room, looking at the idol and the clubs and the carvings on the walls. "I admit," he says, "I sort of expected more." He idly pats Rev on the giant, monster snout as if he were an oversized pet dog as he passes. "And defacing temple statues is probably frowned upon in mysterious, magically appearing pyramids," he observes off-handedly, "For what it is worth."
Lila closes her eyes and covers her hears along with her already covered nose, the benefits of having four arms. "Please don't mention wood," she says, the smell still filling her nostrils, though she had no need to breathe herself, though she was too distracted by her heat to realize this at the moment. She points out her one free hand to the statue and yells, "You think the smell's coming from that creepy ass thing?"
Sniff the air the tail tale arousal begins to warm hir thighs, having worked around one to many ubers fox shi quickly switches hir suck unit on, the dragon takes a few steps toward the statue sniffing the air as shi goes to examine the statue. The dragon gives it a sniff finding the culprit for the odor in the room hir, shi soon leaves the statue l to search the rest of the room.
Rev remains quiet but gices fenris a hey I'm not some family pet kind of look. As he spends a moment longer to examine the statue. Before moving on to check out the clubs. Whuch he closely examines.
"Why, those are the tools used by those who would defend me and my temple." Comes a voice, loud from the statue. The eyes light up, though the statue otherwise remains unmoving. "And this is my temple, welcome. I can see that there are those among you that already pay me respects." Shi says, looking to Seguro and to Lila. "I thank you both, for already enjoying in what I have to offer." The statue seems to stop and listen, to 'look' about though the eyes don't move. It is just a normal statue, made from granite. Or so it would seem. "Welcome, the rest of you, to Ixchel's temple. You are the first visiters I've had in a long while, though this is the first day that I've made this place one of my homes in your realm." The voice continues! "Creepy ass thing am I though? Maybe someone wishes me to recend my blessings? And careful with those, they are old, but still very sharp!"
Fenris perks up considerably when the supernatural voice starts to speak. "Ah! Forgive the intrusion, Lady," he says, bowing low to the statue. He is nothing if not polite. It is the tanuki way, after all. "You have a very interesting home!" he continues, "But what do you mean that there are already worshipers here if you have not manifested before?"
Caulford opens his mouth to speak, and then promptly closes it. He just has this absolutely clueless expression on his face. The wind was just coming from the statue. The statue was talking to him. This is what is happening now. "Ah. Um. What?" Was all the verbal communication he's really able to manage. A statue of a god just pimped into existence and started talking about handing out blessings. "I'm just gonna let you guys handle this one. I, uh. Turns out this wasn't really my moment after all." He looked mildly hurt. He really, really wanted it to be his moment!
Lila's ears pull back and her head dips a little. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was someone in the statue, I...." She frowns and hesitantly steps forward, dropping her hands from her nose and ears she kneels in front of the altar. It wasn't Hathor, but she seemed to be please with Lila's reaction to her fellow goddess. She keeps her head low, not looking up, but keeping her hands on her stomach. "My... my Lady, if I haven't already offended you too much, would you be so kind as to tell us your name?"
Rev raises hus head feom where he had been eyeing the scaled clubs. He scratches his chin while listening to Ixchel speak. "Hmmmmm interesting I have never met a goddess before. Well it is a pleasure to meet you Miss ." He says as he briefly touches one of the clubs, and moves bck towards the statue."
The dragon hiss at the strange voice from the statue. "An acolyte of the Radiant One bids you greetings, but why have you chosen to manifest your temple so close to our own? And in the middle of our testing ground no less? For now my patron watches though my eyes and hears though my ears ask what you will. Why have you come to a town?" The dragon's tail sways slowly awaiting the voices response.
"I am Ixchel, though don't expect me to stay for too long. All who come here may make an offering to recieve my blessing, anytime, though I may be too busy to always make a personal apperance. Use my gifts though, to bring forth new life, and to help hold those whos lives are endangered. My gifts are ease in birth, greater protagy, greater potental, and a better ability with medicine. Through the use of my gifts, these herbs, as well as my radiant power, you will be able to keep many safe." She says, looking to Seguro, "These mountains carry not the power of another, though the peaks do. I come here to bring the offering of my blessing, and nothing more. For I can offer much. These mountains remind me of the homes I've had before, and carried enough unclaimed power for me to be here." She says. The scent slowly fades, eyes glowing less and less, "Though, it is hard to speak through this statue. I must be going. Use the alter, use my herbs, use my radiant power, and bring into this world the next, and tend to those already here." She says as her voice fades...
Caulford backs off a little bit and lets the magic folks have their magic statue. He walked to the corner of the room, wiped off his jumpsuit, and tried to meditate his painfully erect member back to a reasonable level of arousal. "Why can't I ever be cool guy?" He whispers to himself.
Fenris bows respectfully to the statue as the voice of the goddess fades. As soon as she is gone, the curious Tanuki sets to exploring the room. Always interesting to meet a new supernatural in Fairhaven. The big guy wanders over to the altar and sniffs at the herbs there with interest. "Very exciting!" He says to no one in particular.
Lila smiles lightly at the gifts Ixchel's bounty gave. Easy birth, greater progeny, potential, and skills with Medicine. It was perfect. "So that's why you wanted me here Hathor," she said lifting her head and standing up, chuckling lightly. "You don't have the strength to help me yourself, but Ixchel does. Thank you." She lets loose a sigh as the scent ebbs away and the need in her loins faids, just a little but not quite so much that she doesn't feel the compulsion to lift her tail were a suitable stud to present thmeselves. She turns and rummages through her saddle bag. She pulls out a bottle of milk and places it on the altar. "My milk, for healing and for mothering, I hope you find it a suitable offering Lady Ixchel," she says with a reverance as she lowers her head and steps back as graciously as she could from the altar. "Thank you for your blessings."
The dragon nods to the statue as shi makes hir perpetrations to leave, seguro mutters to hir self "Do we really need more mettles I wonder, if you can really trust something perhaps not even mortal." The dragon breaks from hir river as shi begins to recall, disappearing in a swirl a azure wind and a splash of sunlight.
Rev continues to look about the room. Clearly curiouse to see if there is anything else if interest to see in the room before departing. "Well this was fun...Whose up for drinks or something? I don't get to come out nearly enough"
