The black fortress ripples with shimmering iridescent energy, the piles of black coral heaped on roped together barges around it, bobbing in the waves. On the largest barge stands a slender man with a copper belt, wearing a face mask, orange red hair flecked with black from ash or dust. As the dawn slowly folds over the ocean, he'll look up, as if hearing some hidden voice.

At the top of the fortress, a figure climbs into vision, a woman, dressed in gray, features obscured by a hood with impenetrable darkness behind it. She staggers a moment as if she is weary, then straightens to her full height. As she speaks, her voice comes out of the journals, echoing over the water, low but clear.

"This is no small task ye do. She that rots within'll do anythin' ta stop ye. Don't hesitate to kill what ye find. If they were human once, they hain't no more. Watch out for her golems, too, or they'll drain ye dry quicker'n a wink. But if ye can get rid of 'em, it'll weaken her." She hesitates, cants her head to the side. "And if ye lot aren't as much of a bunch'a idiots as usual, ye might come out alive through this."

That said, she raises her hands. After a moment so does the man on the barge. For a moment, nothing seems to happen and then iridescent light shimmers over the coral, seeming to match that which surrounds the fortress. It crackles and dances like a fire, and then without warning bursts into a furious life, slamming against the energy of the fortress. There is the sound like thunder and light snaps and crackles, zipping with energy. Then with a woosh the light flies upward, taking the figure with it. The man on the barge lets out a cry like a seagull and dives into the water as if intending to swim after her.

For the boats that remain, a part of the fortress will crumble away into the sea, revealing a small harbor and an open doorway. Enter all ye who dare.

*Well. Good to know his Boost still worked.*

We should probably hurry in case something else decides to pop through the wall. *For his efforts, though, he grabs a few coins, if only so he can buy better weapons for the future.*

(OOC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFyUQUIvQOQ if you want to see what Adol usually fights. Skip to around 7:00 to watch him Boost and unload some whoopass.)

Right, right. Witch to defeat and all.

[It's probably a good thing that they put Ragna in charge of the jailbreak.]

Come to think of it, she should have some nice treasure stashed away wherever she is. Can't keep everything down here where the company can't see it, right?

[That's motivation enough for him to pick up his things and stride out the door. He has no idea where the throne room is, especially since he left Pi-chan back on the boat (the parrot is a pro at sniffing out treasure), but it can't be too hard to find.]

I don't suppose you're any good at finding witches, Adol?

[wanderer_from_ys]

No, but with how strong she is, find wherever you sense the most amount of power and you find her. *That and any potential screaming and a massive pile up of fighting. Wherever she was in this place.*

[seadevil]

Sense power? I'll take your word for it. Looks like you're on witch-finding duty, then. Lead the way!

[Motochika has enough trouble with his normal five senses. Expecting a sixth from him is asking a bit too much. Left to his own devices, he'll just wander the fortress and pick up everything that's not nailed down and never actually find the witch.]

[wanderer_from_ys]

*Well, luckily Adol's had plenty of adventures dealing with the supernatural and the divine. He'll just stumble along and hopefully run into wherever the fighting seems the strongest.*

((OOC: Does this go into another section or are we good here?))

[ooc: We're good! Time to get the event wrapped up!]
