Vyvimna, cultivationspren

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

Hello, my name is Vyvimna. I was sent by the Ring to represent cultivationspren and, by extension, Edgedancers in the city of Elendel.

And now that the formalities are out of the way: what's that over there? *excitedly zips off*

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*Bella bursts into the room, panting*

- @basin-bella

*jumps to his feet, hand on Vindication* ... what's happening?

[basin-joe]

Umm... dive in for some extra healing power? I've got a good amount of stormlight left and some seeds. Could shield us with plant matter somewhat, maybe...

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

I... I... We can use Abrasion to pull Lord Ladrian out of range of the blast. But... I don't want you getting hurt. But we can't simply stand by and do nothing!

[basin-joe]

*he starts to move toward Wax's Cadmium bubble, but stops* I... I can't...

I want nothing more than to dive in there and do whatever I can to help him... but... there's a little voice in my head. A voice that I so often ignore... My voice. It's just... this time it has a point.

I can't leave my kids without a father, Vy...

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

....Alright. It's... nout our responsibility. We are no Windrunners... *brightens* Herald Stormblessed will handle it, I'm certain! Let's get away from here!

*voice from a weather report* Danger!

*voice picked up from police radio* Kidnapping.

-@rogue-lightspren

*stands suddenly* Coda? Lessie's in danger? Kidnapped?! Rusts...

*Bella bursts into the room* What did you just say?

[basin-joe]

*he relaxes significantly when she comes out* No Lessie? Rusts... but Wyndle? Alright. Is there a place we could go in without getting noticed?

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

It's... rather cluttered in there. If we can get inside without alerting them, we should be able to hide without much difficulty. Not the windows... they'll watch those. Perhaps if you grow this crack a little wider? It's hidden well enough and if we're quiet, they shouldn't notice.

[basin-joe]

*he nods* Alright. Crack it is then! *he starts to grow the crack wider, trying to catch the bits of wall as they fall out so as to minimize the noise*

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

*slips through to check if anyone has noticed*

[basin-joe]

*the building shudders and you see Wax drop through the roof, shortly followed by Kaladin crashing through a window*

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

Is that... Herald Stormblessed? Goodness! No. It can't be!

[basin-joe]

*crashing through the wall, getting stuck in a hole that's slightly too small for him before remembering he can use abrasion* What?

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

Herald Stormblessed! He is a great hero who saved Roshar! But whatever is he doing here?

[basin-joe]

I thought your Herald fella's were stuck on Roshar? Anyways! Doesn't matter. We're here for Wyndle. Let the others deal with the fighting.

*starts wrapping around the back of the cages* Rusts... maybe we should grab a few of these guys too...

I hope Lessie's alright...

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

They should be! I haven't the faintest how Herald Stormblessed got here!

*zips over to Wyndle's cage* Here! (@edgedancing-food-thief)

[basin-joe]

*rushes over and tries to work out how to open Wyndle's cage*

Hey, bud... how you doing? (@edgedancing-food-thief)

[edgedancing-food-thief]

*Wyndle perks up* Joe! You're here. It was...horrible.

[basin-joe]

That's right. I'm here, friend. It's going to be alright. *clicks open the cage* We're gonna want to get out of here quick. Whatever that is in the middle of the room seems like it's about to blow.

I want to get as many of these cages open in the meantime, though.

[edgedancing-food-thief]

*Wyndle nods* Good luck with that. I don't know how much I'll be able to help, not having substance and all. But...those cages are odd. I'll see what I can do.

[basin-joe]

Do what you can. If there's nothing you can do, just get out. Your girl needs you.

[edgedancing-food-thief]

Alright.

*Wyndle slinks off to inspect one of the cages, managing to get it open*

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

*notices* We can open them? *zips off to try and help*

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*Bella bursts into the room, panting*

- @basin-bella

*jumps to his feet, hand on Vindication* ... what's happening?

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*touches the tip of his head* If you do that, I'll even do you the courtesy of not deflecting the bullet.

*he carefully walks around the roof, tilting his head as he listens, then picks a spot close to the humming sound, feeling out his metal reserves one last time before he tosses a small ironmind into his mouth, swallowing it and burning it to gain an enormous amount of weight, whose strain on his own body he counters with pewter and a small enough amount of Stormlight to keep himself from outwardly glowing*

[basin-bella]

*she braces herself and posts up a safe distance away from him and mutters* Like I wouldn't use aluminum.

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*the roof shatters around the spot he is standing with a deafening noise, and Wax drops with it*

[basin-bella]

*as he drops, his side slams into a large canister in the center of the room. It starts making a whining noise. Then, he hits the ground.*

*Surrounding him are a group of startled guards who, after a moment of shock, whirl on him and start firing. Many of them armed with aluminum bullets. From above you, Bella takes three of them in quick succession*

(@elendels-edgedancer-branch you and Joe hear a massive crash from outside)

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*he immediately pops a speed bubble to give himself a moment, analyzing the trajectories of the bullets so he can place himself somewhere safe, then he lines up to shoot and drops the bubble, taking down two more, then ducking behind the canister*

[basin-bella]

*Bella is forced to take cover as a couple of them see her, but not before she accounts for another two*

*The crate next to him is making a concerning whining noise where he hit it. From the door, he can vaguely make out Kaladin and Sigzil wrestling with massive creatures.*

[waxillium-dawnshot]

Rusts... *he glances at the crate only briefly, but doesn't see any better cover* Who- *shakes his head, breathing, then sends out a wave of duralumin-powered Soothing towards the two creatures he can see, hoping*

[basin-bella]

*Bella starts to wrap around the hole in the roof to get a better position*

*The monsters seem to falter for a moment, but they don't break under his control. One glares at you as Kaladin lashes it to the ceiling.*

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*he removes his shotgun from where it's strapped to his side and flares steel as he Pushes himself across the room towards where the creature has landed on the ceiling. Just before he lands, he Lashes himself to stand on the ceiling, Stormlight trailing off him as he taps weight, aims the shotgun right at the creature from barely a foot away, and pulls the trigger*

[coinshot-insurance-agency]

*it growls at you and was just preparing to pounce when its head is blown off in clean chunks.*

*The canister's whining has grown louder and more insistent*

[waxillium-dawnshot]

*Lashes himself back to the floor, frowning* Rusts... *raises his pewter-enhanced voice so it can be heard by everyone @kaladinsuniformviolationslog @tormented-nomad @basin-joe @basin-bella @elendels-edgedancer-branch @highspren-of-the-roughs* That thing might be about to blow! I'm going to slow time around it! Joe, get the captives out! Everyone else, cover me if you can!

*he swallows another vial of metals to replenish his duralumin and runs towards the canister*

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

Storms! I... *zipping back and forth* @basin-joe We can't let him do this! What do we do?

I- I got a note from Lessie. Apparently they're taking Spren now. It's dangerous...

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

I.... know. I... I'll just be a moment. I'll come right back if anyone notices me. There's no sense in raising an alarm before we have to.

[basin-joe]

*he tucks seeds into a crack he found and looks at her hard* Just. Be careful and come back as soon as you can. You and I will be having words if you get yourself captured. Y'hear me?

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

*laugh that's not quite sincere but is certainly trying to be* Yes, Brightlord, sir! I'll be careful. *a little more seriously* You as well. They may already know we're here. Stay alert.

[basin-joe]

*inhales Stormlight and grows the seeds, making cracking noises in the wall* What have I told you about titles? I'm your friend. I just... I don't want to lose you...

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

*gently* You won't. I won't let it happen. Life before death, remember? We can't let our fear stop us from helping our friends. *briefly wraps around his wrist before growing through the crack in the wall*

[basin-joe]

*slumps against the wall, but keeps a careful watch for anyone nearby.*

*he whispers* Be careful...

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

*cautiously slides out on the other side of the wall and looks around*

[basin-joe]

*she comes out behind a massive system of cages and crates. Inside them, she can see an assortment of objects and beings, each labelled with a concept they are associated with. One has a dog labelled obedience. One has a madman raving on the ground labelled psychosis. There are many more. In the middle of the room, there is a massive drum. It appears much like a pressurized canister. It has tubes coming out of it. She can sense a vast amount of energy coming from it.*

*Lining the other walls are an assortment of slightly different cages. These ones appear sturdier and stranger. Many of them contain Spren. Wyndle is slumped over inside one of them (@edgedancing-food-thief).*

*The room is crawling with guards. Several of them patrol with small antenna-like devices, though they seem to have to shield them from the canister for them to work properly.*

[edgedancing-food-thief]

*Wyndle perks up at this*

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

Wyndle! *Darts forward a bit before remembering her promise to be careful. She hesitates for a moment.*

[edgedancing-food-thief]

*Wyndle curls his vine in a gesture to stay back*

You shouldn't be here! It's not safe.

[elendels-edgedancer-branch]

It's alright! We've brought help! Wait a moment, we'll have you out of there in a flash!

*zips back outside to @basin-joe* Wyndle's in there. I didn't see Lessie, but there were many prisoners and many guards. We... should wait for the others to get here before we make our move. *nervous coiling* But... I don't want to leave Wyndle in there alone. He must be quite scared. I imagine I would be if I were trapped without my Radiant.
