The Silver Crystal

[Ara Av-Toa]

There's been a mining exploration called the "Core Collectors" for years, trying to gather high-energy crystals from deep, dark caves. They come in a variety of colours and are said to form the planet's core when combined, but recently they found something unlike anything else: a silver one, simply bursting with energy. However, this energy density attracts monsters made of rocks, out to swipe it and destroy the exploration in their wake...
Up to the players is to prevent this from happening, by whatever means necessary!

It was a very quiet time for a while. There were diggers busy, here and there intelligents shared advice or strategies. The most dangerous beings in these surroundings were bats, and they weren't dangerous at all. Mary was at the HQ, taking a look at the silver crystal mined just a couple of weeks ago. It gleamed heavily in the lamplight. She looked around- nothing of interest exept miners and their vehicles. She yawned. "It's been boring lately. Too boring, almost. What are those monsters up to?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray was sitting in the cockpit of his N-36 'Goblin' mining exo-suit, and checked in via radio. "Ray here, that new dig ready?"

[Ara Av-Toa]

Mary heard the call and anwered: "Mary here. Hey Ray, you mean the discovery of that new cavern? That one has been called stable. But beware, you might just get an unexpected surprise. I'd say take care if you're planning on mining there."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "Thanks Mary. I'm always careful." He started off towards the new site.

[Ara Av-Toa]

(1: you can always tell more than the template recommends. 2: lasers are fine.)


Mary went back to looking at the silver crystal...

[Angder]

The hovercraft was running and minimal power, engine barely ticking over. the rounded front had a window for the driver, and above it 2 large mining lasers sat, like eyes peering out into the darkness.

Sitting in the cockpit, Angder sat looking into the darkness, the huge machine was not designed for mining crystals, and mostly acted as transport and storage. Angder sat in his chair, hands on the controls, trying not to fall asleep. Its funny how desprate he had been to be in one of these things, and how now he was here, it was just dull. Just long hours going out, delivering things, then driving back, occasionally blasting a fallen rock or digging a side passage. Regardless to say, it was underwhelming.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray rolled into the dig site, and poked his head out of his rig. "Now...where be the gold, lads?!"

[Ara Av-Toa]

One of the miners would reply to Ray: "You know we're not mining for gold, weirdo! We need crystals! I think there are some in the wall on your left, by the way."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray chuckled. "I was just havin' a laugh, friend." He buttoned up his rig, and started drilling.

[Razuel]

Character template: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19880754/
Name: Razuel Dracon
Species: Western Feral Dragling
Gender: Male
Class: None
Tools: The closest I'm having Raz have to a mining laser is a concentrated beam of light from his soulstone(A large gem embedded on his chest)
Vehicle: None


(I'm hoping that I can do this with Raz as a little dragling. What I'm planning on having Raz do is assisting one of the people who're playing, being close to a pet, but not quite.)

[Ara Av-Toa]

Ray barely put his drill in the wall or two evil red eyes opened up right in front of him, paired with a low grumble like an earthquake. It resonated through the entire cave system. To make things worse: more of those red eyes opened up in the entire system, awoken by the grumbling.


Mary was shaken up by it and saw the glearing eyes. "Oh dang. Please don't tell me they're going to try a mass attack!" She hastily searched contact to all crew: "Everyone! Return to HQ ASAP! I suspect a mass attack- Relay this to those who don't have comm tech! We can't let them take our crystals!"
