Etharon turned and saw Simon at the smash of a glass, sitting alone at some unbused table for his brothers to pity him? Etharon was gonna have no part in that and chose to ignore the shattered glass and went over to talk to Toffi, "you think we missed something down in the sewer tunnels??" Etharon explained to the man his thoughts on the subject, it was directed at Toffi but loud enough so Al and Elo could hear him also, glancing in their direction every so often getting recognition that they were listening.

Alkilai sighed as he hung up on his lizarian manager.

"Great, I've got a fight in two days and my arms are nowhere near combat ready after all of that." He lamented as he watched Elo fiddling with his hand, sparks emanating from it as connections ports were filled and other electronics were pushed out of the way or pried open. "Oh well, guess I still have time, better go shopping for some more combat oriented fists." He said before Etharon asked his his question, turning his attention to his brother.

Christofer's attention was temporarily turned over to Simon again, not pleased on having the glass break (he was probably going to be in more trouble). He'd have wanted to share a word with him, but his attention was quickly shifted over to Etharon and the exitenment from the other man made him flinch a bit

"U-Uh, uh.... Ummm..." he stuttered for a start, "You know... I was more worried over you guys so that I didn't really get to mention it earlier..." Toffi was sounding a bit hesitant over the subject. "But there was this door down in the sewers... It was strange looking...I'm not sure if we should check it out or something? Maybe..?" Part of him was hopping for them to say "Maybe later" or "No", even a "Not today" or "Tomorrow" would have been fine, but considering how energic Etharon was, that probably wasn't going to be the case

I nibbled on my bread, my neck turning hot. I took a deep breath and slowly inched over towards the others. I smile as I swallowed hard.
"Um... hi, guys." I said, stuttering and fumbling my words. An icy, wet feeling sprawled across the back of my neck. I was bleeding profusely from broken glass, but I did not notice it. I yawned and leaned over the counter, paying no attention to the bartender. The blood now seeped through my shirt as I studied the menu.

@Simon- It may seem like the thickness of blood, but it is simply glue ooze dropping down from the ceiling. No harm has come to you out of randomness.

@Etharon- The fact that Elo and Alkilai are a bit too pre-occupied to hear you out annoys you but you gladly turn your attention to Toffi and are engaged with a one on one talk with him.

@Alkilai- Elo finishes up on your arm and kinda sits silently, finally taking a moment to enjoy his oil can. You are left with the choice of, watch out for your friends if they do plan on returning to the sewers, or prepare for your fight which is in fact your career.

@Toffi- You finish your soda and continue your talk with Etharon, this would probably just be you two. A dangerous mission, but maybe a Mage would be good in the sewers..?

No harm came to me outta randomness though. I said there was a shard of the broken glass dug into my neck.
(I just went so I'mma let someone else respond. I pass my turn. )

While Simon sat over in the corner and Alkilai and Elo talked about Cybermail, Etharon began to plot his return to the sewer, "I gotta pick up a lunar battery for my blaster then I'll be ready to head back down into the sewer! How about you Toffi? Need anything before we re-enter the abyss??" The idea of continuing their adventure was thrilling to Etharon, but him being a Rogue Gunner and Toffi being a Marksman they would need a meat Sheild. Alkilai looked busy with Elo unfortunately, "hey Simon, wanna go on an adventure with Toffi and I?"

Christofer got slightly startled by the suggestion on going back to the sewers. Was he serious? The boy didn't feel like returning to the sewers anytime soon, but he didn't like the idea of Etharon going out on his own, but it was pretty clear that he would do it if Toffi wasn't going to accompany him with it. As much as he didn't want it, it would be way too risky to let Etharon go alone and Christofer didn't want anyone to get hurt.

It seems like he had no way out of this... He would have to go and get a clear set of equipment and go back

After Etharon shouted out for Simon to join them, Toffi tilted his head a bit. Was he really going to be of help? Well... He could always cast some light for them to see in the sewers, and the more the merrier, right? They would have to find a way on 'luring' him in with them though

"I could get you a free night to stay at the hotel I work at" he suggested, tilting his head innocently as he did. "What do you say?"

@Simon- The offer is tempting but these guys haven't really cared about you before so why should you help them now? On the other hand this could be fun, sabatogung them in a dark sewer and leaving them for dead, what could be better? CHAOTIC EVIL ALIGNMENT!

@Etharon- Toffi is totally going, and as a sniper he will be the first to know if something is following you guys, all you need is a meat Sheild like Simon or Al in front and you'll be good to go, your not hoping something happens but if it does, it doesn't happen to you. NEUTRAL ALIGNMENT!

@Alkilai- The bar setting probably isn't best for you right now, the thought of going home and resting sounds rather good right now but your ears do perk up to the stupid ideas of Etharon. GOOD ALIGNMENT!

@Elo- After fixing Al's arm up you just sit back and enjoy your oil, you very much don't want to return to the sewer, not only was it scary but it began to rust you as well. You don't exactly see good and evil as a way to act since your a robot, but you do remain true to the ways of the law, and that is a pretty good assessment of right and wrong for you. LAWFUL ALIGNMENT!

@Toffi- Your secret engagement to the government and the reason you have a sniper places you as lawful but your good nature is the reason your so innocent and why you want to help your fellow brother. LAWFUL GOOD ALIGNMENT!

I was taken aback by Etharon's sudden positivity, but I suddenly had a thought. I grinned before agreeing to go.

Etharon finished another drink and laid his tip on the bar, "Let's meet tomorrow morning here at noon, sound good you two?" Standing Etharon began walking out the door.

Alkilai felt a little conflicted, he had a fight coming up soon, and her really should be using his time to prepare for it, however, if his brothers were really planning on going back to the sewers, who knows what kind of trouble they'd get in. He remembered the last wish of Atlas, to stick together and take care of each other, the man had given them everything, the least he could do was respect his dying wish.

"...Room for one more?" Alkilai spoke up.

Christofer was relieved when he heard that they wouldn't be going back today. Good... They'd manage to gather their strength and be in better shape over all

"Sounds fine to me~" the boy answered with a smile, looking at Alkilai "The more the merrier, you know, just in case another 'monster' decides to appear"

He got up from his chair, feeling a bit more cheery. Only some hours ago he had been crying over Atlas like there was no tomorrow to be seen. That reminded him...

"I'll go visit the orphanage one more time before I leave off to rest. We meet here or at some other Place? At what hour?"

@Simon- Etharon is gone now, and the others slowly leave as well. Is there anything you want to do before tomorrow noon?

@Etharon- You leave the bar destined to be back by tomorrow noon, anything you want to do tonite before you head to sleep?

@Alkilai- Finishing your drink you say good night to Elo, Simon, and Toffi, heading homeward is there any stops you want to make before retiring for the night?

@Elo- You leave shortly after Etharon and head back home. With no real intention of going back into the sewers what's your plan for tomorrow?

@Toffi- You are the last to leave along with Al and Simon, anything you want to do before tomorrow noon? Any preparations made before you head back into the underdark??

I stayed up all night practicing and perfecting my spells, and using my staff. I gathered together some torches and meals (neither of which I had any intention of sharing). I was exhausted, but very prepared to "help" my friends.

Etharon got home and went straight to sleep, waking up somewhere between nine and ten, making sure to get a good breakfast he made sure his Hand Blaster was ready replacing the Chill Burst ammo cartridge with Heat Blast ammo cartridge. "This'll pack a bit more of a punch, but the billets won't do as much lethal penetration damage..." Slipping the Chill Burst Cartrige into his satchel, "that is just in case..." Placing a combat knife in its sheath he lowered it into his bag along with a bag of salt chips and two bottles of water. Being all ready to go he packed one last thing a Flash Bomb, just in case, "time to meet up with Al and the others!" Locking up his apartment he headed off to the Blue Jupiter, it was only eleven but getting there a bit early was a good idea.

"Well, it's not too late, I guess I can go do some shopping for my match, as convenient as these fists were, they are not made for battle." Alkilai mused to himself as he left the bar. He made his way to an cybermail shop that sold more battle oriented pieces, since his opponent was known for his quick and powerful jabs, he figured he would need fists that were made of a lighter metal so he could match the speed of his jabs. Once he purchased the parts he would return to the Inn he was staying at and rest up for the next day, who knows what they would encounter in the sewer this time around.

Just like he had told, Christofer took off to go and visit the orphanage. He was surpriced to see that something had happened there, and it didn't seem like a very positive thing. No matter how he tried to ask what was happening or what had happened, the people there wouldn't tell him much. It didn't matter what he said either, they wouldn't let him in...
Maybe tomorrow would be a better day? He didn't want to direct too much attention towardsthe orphanage, if they didn't want him there they probably wanted no-one. He woul be back though, later tomorrow...

Thee wasn't much to the evening. Christofer would tell his employee that he had another job for tomorrow. It would be cut from his paycheck for the work at the hotel, but, well... If successful, the boy would get some extra from other sources.
He would fix himself clean gear for the next day, and some medical tools in his bag. The sewers Should be empty now, but he didn't trust the place, nor did he trust Simon just yet. It was better to be safe than sorry...
He finished packing the equipment, and maybe hiding some snacks here and there, like he always did, before getting something to eat and heading to bed...

@Elo- Your character sticks at home for the next quest, PM me if you want to rejoin the RP and I'll write you back in.

@Everyone Else- You meet at the Blue Jupiter in the morning and head off to the sewers together, before you enter the sewers you all must roll 1D20+Stealth, good luck! And down you all go!!!

P.s. Combat will be played a little differently. When I attack you I need over your AC to hit you. 8+ to hit Simon, 10+ to hit Etharon or Toffi, and 12+ to hit Alkilai. As for rolls if a for or a monster gets a natural 20 you are instantly knocked unconscious!

As for your attacks you roll a 1D20+Str for Al, 1D20+Dex for Etharon and Toffi, and 1D20+Int for Simon, if you get 1 your weapon breaks(gun, staff, fist), 2-9 you miss, 10-15 you hit with half damage, 15-19 you hit with full damage, and natural 20 will either be double damage or instant kill depending on the creature or enemy!

Sounds good I hope, remember to have fun!!

I ask Etharon and Christopher to go first, desperately wanting to be last. I lower myself into the sewer eventually, thinking over my strategy: divide and conqueor.

I had dressed dark, to give me an advantage over my... dare I say... prey?

Regardless, I could see my breath, and muttered some harsh words about the icy temparatures. I realized that either Erharon nor Christopher were yet to come down, so I grabbed my knife and sawed off half a ladder. I sprawled out on the floor, looking as thoigh there was a trap ladder that had been made to break away.
