Exploration: Red

[truthdecided]

Who: Akechi, Emporio, Akira
What: Exploration: Red
Where: North of the outpost
Warnings: Environmental hazards, probable combat, and overall peril.

The shift from forest to sweltering heat happens instantaneously. Even knowing the risks, Akechi winces as the temperatures spike. The glaring light hardly helps, hindering visibility severely when combined with the smoky haze. Grateful for his Safety Goggles, Akechi flutters forward. The glow of lava veins shines eerily through the blackness of the smog, and a towering structure beckons them...

But it's not long until a dust storm sweeps over them, the force of which knocks Akechi back. Desperate, he clings to the top of Akira's Shellder helmet to steady himself.

Gasping for breath, he reorients himself and peers down at his teammates. "Are you all right?"

That's super bad! That's super not fine!!

Emporio trades an anxious look with Akechi, but ultimately chooses not to address anything about what just happened aloud. Instead he just....nods.

Slowly.

"Y...yeah. Let's just copy what we can see, and then head back. ...I'd say we could take rubbings, but paper would burn up here, so we'll just have to use the wax slates..." he mutters, pulling out his own.

"It's better than nothing." So, naturally, Akechi follows suit and tries his best to gather as much of the text as possible. "No doubt we'll be well regarded by the other guilds for our efforts, even if we leave without a complete picture."

It's still a major breakthrough. Something they can build upon with time.
