The Egg-uistite Road to the Tombs (Mission/Travel)

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre of Taki was a shadowy man but took his job seriously. He was his usually equipped self with that bandolier of his. He wore a bandolier crossed over his chest and in it contained a bundle of wire, a bundle of fine silk rope, six yo-yo's, a lighter, a package of cigars, a walkie talkie, a eight inch flash light, ten glass cutters, twenty pieces of flint, thirty bo shuriken, and thirty Hira shuriken. He also wore a darken leg holster with a four of kunai and a pair of knives. Hidden in the extra pockets of his coat was sixteen caltrops and an extra pair of knives. His face was recessed in the hood of his coat, but what could be seen was a weird three quarters mask that covered all but a corner of his face. In that corner he had an un-smoked cigar hanging. His hands were covered in dark reinforced fingerless gloves, they could almost be called gauntlets with the studded knuckles. Each knuckle had a metal skull for a stud. You couldn't see most of his equipment hidden in his pouches.

He stood outside the village ready for travel to the catacombs that were mentioned in an ancient Necril tome. In his pockets in his trench coat he also carried two large tomes. The Legions of the Dead and the Grimoire Mortalitas were the books of his chosen trade.

I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
--------------------------------------

Here under the starry night and the cold mire of the swaps stood a lone rock that jutted out of the marsh lands. The locals and natives in this land called this landmark the hero's bane. Legends say that there was a war hero who was tragically cut down in battle here in this very marsh. The massive rock that jutted from the marshland had a small crevice that could allow one person of average size to squeeze down into a cave system below. The harsh wind blew over the swamp causing anyone in the swamp to feel uncomfortable. 

Below this cave system were all manner of undead. The further down you go the more enemies and more dangerous the undead. Be careful though... This likely would be a death sentence without the company of a seriously powerful ninja past a certain point. 

[Futabatei Ginko]

Taki no Kuni, despite its small countryside, held many dark places and deep secrets.. and these catacombs were not any different. Dressed in all black, the kunoichi stopped beside her peculiar comrade and folded her arms. "So this is the place..." she didn't seem too impressed by the swampy and murky area. Ginko hated filth... she had hoped to get this over with soon, so that she could relax in the showers of the Ruomu, but then it dawned on her that their next destination would be the isle where the Chuunin Senbatsu Shiken would be held.

She noticed the lonely earthen spire jutting out from the murks of the swamp; it reminded her of her soon-to-be self: a Chuunin, who had been a rank higher than the cluster of Genin found in Hidden Waterfall. Her black flak jacket had been filled with shuriken, explosive tags and kunai... although with her ninjutsu skills, she felt that none of these would be needed for this mission. Her goggles remained above her brow, and she huffed through her gas mask.

"Well, you seem to know something about these nighttime ghouls... lead the way." Had it came to it, her utilization of mud and earth clones would be deployed to help even the playing field.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

From behind his mask Kuroki rose an eye-ridge and then mentally shrugged off the stand offish nature of his Fellow Takigakure ninja. He was a bit of the same way sometimes. His time with Roar had mellowed him dramatically. But he still understood the need to be away from everyone. Though he didn't like how this placed looked even a little bit. He could feel a heavy infestation in this place.

Without his doing the fog rolled in thickly. Nothing else to do but move forward so they can make it through this without to much trouble. As usual he was in his Incorporeal form and he placed his hands momentarily in his pants pockets. Then he just moved into the breach slowly not worrying about squeezing as he phased through whatever he didn't fit through. His eyes glowed momentarily as he activated several of his soul given abilities.

Not a sound escaped him, not even the sound of foot prints. For as a spectral entity himself, his form was absolutely quiet. He might not even exist for all the sound he made. It didn't help the fog dampen sounds even further. For the purposes of light he made a few gestures when they were inside and created a pale fire ball that looked as ghostly as he did. Inside had been pitch black.

Wraithfire's body seemed to take on the qualities of his surroundings without much conscious thought. Before long he was an indistinct shadow among shadows. Only his nearby fireball let way of his presence. He didn't even radiate the extra warmth most people would put off, no his body stayed at a balanced temperature.  His stride walked over water like it wasn't even there.

[Deleted]

As Spectre seemingly phased through the entrance way he would notice the thick slushy mud that covered the entire entrance way. Anyone who was not fleet footed would lose movements trying to move through the tight crawlspace. A quarter way through there was a skeleton on the floor with a razor blade trap piercing through his leg. Obviously the would be adventurer triggered a trap in the crawlspace and was ripped apart by razor wire in the crawl space. In his gear was a leather journal that was destroyed and rendered useless by the ran and the mire. However on his hand was a ornate wedding ring but instead of a diamond it held an average ruby. 

A few meters up from the skeleton would be another trap of the exact same design and make hidden under the mud and murk of the cave. Beyond this passage way would spill into a large cave chamber with 5 different tunnels to choose from. Each large enough for several people to walk through the doorways.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre never even touched the muck once his abilities were activated. His footsteps literally floated above the muck. But the signs of traps made his eyes narrow as he searched around him for more signs of traps yet to be activated. So this old tomb had a few surprises besides the living dead underneath. The muck and darkness hadn't surprised this adventurer of the past but it wasn't necessarily welcome either.

"Traps ahead, Mask. Careful of real names beyond this point. Names have power here. " With down he reached down and examined the area around the ruby ring. If nothing was off about it, he would pocket the ring with the bony finger it was attached to. Luckily it seemed the skeleton was not animated this time. He kept his soul eyes peeled for the tell tale signs of auras of life or necromantic magic. His senses stretched to their fullest extent while they were in dangerous territory.

This would be a venture for a few trips it appeared, for time was short if they were to make the isles for the exam. With that task done, moving carefully into the cave into he gets to the space before the five tunnels. "Well, there are undead in each of the tunnels. And the tome only mentions the location nothing about the insides. So which one do you want?" As he spoke he looked at each of the tunnels to get a better idea of what was in them. He felt through the wavelengths of the souls in each tunnel in turn.

And their relative numbers and directions from the user, but not a pinpoint location. Most solid materials do not block this sense, but at least 2 meters of stone, wood, or earth, or 3 inches of iron or other heavy metal will block it, as will any solid sheet of lead. If the user has at least 25 Skill Points in Soul Wavelength then whenever they use Soul Tuning, the user can gain a general location as if they were using Blindsense, but only for the purpose of detecting things with souls. Also as an additional movement, the user may pinpoint the exact location of the soul as if they had Blindsight. In half a round action the user can gauge the Soul's Power. "D" Class Faint, "C" Class Moderate, "B" Class Strong, "A" and "S" Class Overwhelming. If the user's Class Level is "C" or lower, then they gauge an overwhelming Aura, the user is Dazed for 1 round. If the user has 50 Points into Soul Wavelength, whenever the user detects Souls, they can detect the positions of Souls as if they had blindsight. Also, as a Movement the user may detect the Alignment of the soul they can sense. If the user has at least 75 points into Soul Wavelength, then during the first movement, the user can also sense the alignment, and within half a round, the user can learn the soul's type and subtype, and also the basic makeup of their Class Level Specialists. This allows the user to make performances with Soul Wavelength at a range greater than touch but within the distance of Soul Tuning.

[Futabatei Ginko]

The woman ninja remained silent and followed the supernatural shinobi. She had been aware of her surroundings and once Wraithfire sprung a trap, she knelt to avoid any sort of blow back from the exposed device. and all the while, remained astute as to her movements in the confined space. Her partner had come across a glistening red gem in the darkness, yet Ginko made no mention of the thing as they continued onward towards the ghouls.

Inside the cavern, the darkness increased in depth; would they embrace it and travel without fear?... or would they be consumed by it.

The post above needs to be fixed. This is a one time GM freebie for this mission. The trap has yet to be discovered and no one has activated the trap. Continued Failure to read the posts or act accordingly will result in critical failures when dealing with the associated threats.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki looked back over his shoulder waiting for the Masked shinobi. In the minwhile using every sense he had he divined a path to choose. For now because time was short the shortest and easy path would be best. For they quickly had to get moving to the exams. Either way they were in for a battle and he prepared himself mentally for just that.

There in the mud the trap was sprung and came to life catching the opponent by surprise. Razor sharp wires sprung from the floor whirling and cutting through flesh and bone alike. Wires seemed to come whirling out from every cardinal direction as the blades came whirling around in almost at a blinding speed with nothing more then the faint fire light of Spectre's light to potentially see the sharp wires.

The resulting whirling death trap caught the young ninja off guard. The whizzing bladed wire sprung through the darkness and with great tension sliced through our young heroine's skin. If she didn't have her toughness or her strength of the earth she would have been killed outright from the trap. Even still she was gravely wounded as the trap lacerated her right arm and leg. She was bleeding badly and would probably die without quick medical attention. The wire is embedded in her body and the tension in the wires has been released.  Any attempt for her to move without the wire being removed would cause further injury.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre sighed at the ninja who couldn't handle a little wire trap. Apparently this gas mask nin didn't have the moves he thought. He moved up to the wire part that was sticking out of his partner attached to the trap trigger, and carefully broke the wire. Once the wire was snapped in his great strength, he grabbed ahold of that other ninja and teleported and would keep teleporting taking breaks in between until they made it back to someone who could deal with his injuries.

Effect: Allows the user to phase in and out of rock in order to evade attacks or track opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used on stone. Cannot perform handseals or attacks while phasing through stone.
Description: By applying the principles of Underground fish projection, the user is able to quickly sink in and out of stone on a whim, avoiding virtually all damage. By simply focusing doton charka through their body, the user will briefly change the same color as the surrounding rocks before vanishing from sight. As they travel through the ground, no other skills can be performed, but their movement speed is dramatically faster so long as the user stays within stone. This skill is only usable 5 times a day once trained; however, this jutsu can be retrained in order to obtain the ability to add another usage.
Limit: Earth Release. 500 TP in earth release. Underground fish projection.
