Rural Farming Area ~The RP~

[Sou Jara]

Locale Name: Rural Farming District

Classification: District
(district, business, city service, eatery or inn, clan, other)

Controlled:Unaligned

Description:
Somewhere within Byako's large districts of sprawling buildings is a stretch of farmlands over a grassy plain.
It is a simple, humble area populated by farmers who would care less about events in the city. There are no buildings save for the occasional barn, fenced flock, and house.

Past Events: *pesky aliens made crop circles
*it snowed
*a fancy arcane ritual cropped up and mister black came and left
*viva entered into mortal combat against some remnants of data towers
*A lone rider escorted some farmers to town due to bandits

Current Events:Some Jar'eye'an tanks are moving through the farmlands, ruining the crops.

A big black squiggly ball crashes into a field of corn. The sorcerer radios in for pickup, and the last ship out of Byako picks him up and heads off.

He sheds a tear for the departed, and moves on.

Meanwhile, the crash and explosion of his tattoos on impact left a very odd pattern

-----Event-----
The strong winds from Frosty Mountain have carried a bank of clouds over the area. Within minuets, the clouds have spread a pure white blanket over everything in the area. However, the snow seems to be causing no harm to the crops.  

[Kokuwagata]

The soft moonlight glows on the fields of corn...

A shadow conceals the moon for a moment, and then descends upon the ground. A man with jet black crow wings lands in the pasture.

"I need to call the Three Old Ones...I need them to answer questions for me."

"I need the articles of The Rite to call them."

He briefly flew around the field and gathered all the items.

"12 articles total... A chicken, A snake egg, A pig, (That completes the sacrificial element) Honey, Wine, Vinegar (That completes the sacrament element), The circle, The hexagram, The Hidden Word (That completes the written invocation), and lastly a crossroad, a moon, and the witching hour..."

He would also need a white knife, a brass chalice and a horn or bone... the knife at his side would do...the bone of a roadkill animal was fine...and a brass flowerpot near a farmhouse was fine...being an extension of his body really...would do. He changed it to white, and slowly drew a pattern in the dusty dirt of the crossroad. First the circle...then the hexagram. And finally the Hidden Word along the side.

Next, he needed to anoint the circle and himself with the elements. He dripped the honey onto his forehead...drank some wine and anointed the crowd of his head with vinegar. Then he poured the sacraments onto the circle.

Lastly came the sacrifices. With the knife he slew the chicken, and it's blood splattered the symbol. At that moment the egg of the snake began to hatch.

Distantly the clock struck 12...  

[Kokuwagata]

The egg hatched, but no snake emerged...the dead c**k blinked and so did the living pig.

Instead in it's place was three women. Or rather, two women and a girl. There was a young girl of no older than 12...a matronly old lady in her late seventies, at least, and a woman who looked to be 20 to 30...

"Oh lookie here!" said the youngest, "A being has summoned us...unfourtunately it's not a mortal...those are so fun to toy with..."

The eldest spoke, "Well who is it, now? Angel? No those ingrates are too arrogant to bother with our kind anymore...all high and mighty...well, well it's a demon, and from the looks of things, lost your way, have you?" She gave a harsh cackle.

The middle one spoke, "Well then, child of darkness, you must have summoned us for a reason. We will do our best to help, given the rules. I assume you know them, dear?"

"I do sisters."

The Crone piped in, "Well get on with it, we haven't got all night. Well we actually do, but that's besides the point."

"Maiden, I ask you one question. How would I build a portal to Hell?"

"A portal to hell? That sounds like fun! But what you seek to build is not a door or gate so much...but rather a special mirror..."

"Thank you sister. Mother, or I could call you aunt...What do I need to build such a mirror?"

"My child, what you desire is made of many things...some of them quite rare. You need to build a frame of 5 materials. You need a base frame of iron and clay, a left frame of bronze...you might not like this one, and I'm sorry dear...a right frame of silver, and a top frame of gold. Upon the top must be inscribed the phrase, "I AM THE WAY INTO THE DOLEFUL CITY, I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL GRIEF, I AMD THE WAY TO A FORSAKEN RACE, JUSTICE IT WAS THAT MOVED MY GREAT CREATOR, DIVINE OMNIPOTENCE CREATED ME, AND HIGHEST WISDOM JOINED WITH PRIMAL LOVE, BEFORE ME NOTHING BUT ETERNAL THINGS, WERE MADE AND I SHALL LAST ETERNALLY, ABANDON ALL HOPE ALL YOU WHO ENTER." The mirror itself is to be made of smooth obsidian, and to activate it, you need the legendary Brimstone Hammer of Silurn, after reciting the malediction "EGO EST UMBRA" you are to break the mirror."

"Thank you. And last, crone...where might I find the Hammer?"

"Nowehere! It doesn't exist anymore. It was shattered by some high-born cleric of some sort centuries ago!"

"That's not helpful! Why would you give me all the instructions for something that can't be built anymore!"

"Hey I thought you said that you knew the rules, liar!" The young one stuck out her tongue.

"Of course...of course...wait...the pieces still exist, right?"

The crone pipes up, "Well well, this one's got a real head on his shoulders! You figured it out already?" The young one cheers excitedly, "Wow! You're realy smart! Well not as smart as me..." The Mother speaks, "I knew you could do it dear."

"Thank you Old Ones."

In unison, "We do our best." followed by laughter.  

[Kokuwagata]

The oldest picks up a broom, and then sweeps away the ritual symbols and sacrifices in a single sweep. The Old Ones vanish. But not before the youngest pipes up,

"Hey if you see any mortals around, umm can you tell them to summon us more often? It's not fun being a forgotted God. It's boring to just sit around all the time...there's nothing to do but watch and watch..."

"With all due respect Ladies...I am a demon...I care for nothing but my own whims and schemes...not even you Auntie...sorry."

"Aww poo." And in a flash of dust they vanished.

With the new knowledge obtained, Mr. Black reverts to his human disguise and goes off to find the most difficult item the hammer of Silurn...and a way to restore it. ((Off to Market's Place))  

[supremeviva]

There is a thunderous clap and a flare of white fire. Viva reappears after searching several Ancient ruins.  

[supremeviva]

The warrior starts walking thoughout the countyside towards the city. *Sure is quiet. I wonder how the Jarians are doing?*  

[ByakoAssailant]

a number of metals globes flew through the air with a high pitched buzzzing sound
"Jarian target identified. going into extermination mode."

they began releasing a high pitched sound alerting others as they decended down on viva  

[supremeviva]

Viva suddenly looks up and hurls a ball bule white fire at them. "What the hell?!"  

[ByakoAssailant]

the globes easily dodge the balls of fire and as they draw closer blades jut out of them and they go right at viva
"Eliminate"  

[supremeviva]

Viva lets out a dark laugh as he easily dodges the orbs. He reaches out and grabs one between the blade. Using his enhanced strength he easily crushes the orb and hurls it to the side. "Who's next?"  

[ByakoAssailant]

"analizing. target,
shows readings of magical ability.
build and stance match criteria for close range specialist.
increase speed to mach 3."
the bladed globes zoom at viva at a much increased speed

as reinforcments start to make there way closer...  

[supremeviva]

"Comeon this should be easy." Viva quickly dodges their attack. They are fast, but the faster the better. Viva ducks under one and swings his halberd forward slicing another on in two. He jinks to the side as another dives past him. "Magmus!" Jets of lave suddnely explode in form the ground as he attempts to melt his attackers.
