----------------
Wayside V, former location of the hill Andrea's Furnace.
The sad procession slowly moved away from the Furnace, Kashyyk at the front, Zako and LASD in the rear, Rooster carrying Kosak's dead body in his hands. There were no instruments for music, and nobody felt it appropriate to hum or whistle a funeral march, so only the faint rustle of the cold wind filled the air as they walked. Simon and Janna were also silent, following the funeral train with their eyes before walking off toward the waiting truck.
-
Let's stop here. Kashyyk looked at the great uneven expanse before him. "Here" was as good a place as anywhere else the eyes could see. He stopped and motioned the others aside. "
I'll dig."
Summoning forth all his strength and skill, Kashyyk slammed his steel fist into the ground, expecting the soft soil to offer little resistance, but his mighty thrust has suddenly met a solid slab of rock under a thin covering of dust. With a resounding
KRACK and a deep rumble, the ground in front of him begun to collapse! Rooster and LASD jumped back, but they were not endangered either way. Zako tried to grab Kashyyk and lift off, but was greatly surprised by the steel man's actual mass, and was quickly dragged down into the forming cavern. When the debris stopped falling and the dust settled, he found himself, astonishingly unharmed. The rocks next to him rumbled, and Kashyyk emerged from under them, unharmed as well and just as greatly surprised, for they were standing in the middle of a massive geological curiosity. The small cavern they fell into was but a ledge, a cavity in the corner of a massive underground hall. The faint green sunlight reflected off crystallic columns and great slabs of dark stone, filling the cavern with twinkles of shimmering light. It was astoundingly beautiful.
-
Hey! Are you all right? Need any help in there? LASD sounded worried.
-
No! I mean yes! I mean we're all right and don't need help! Get down here, you have to see this! Using the sloping walls and piles of debris, Rooster and LASD carefully slid down into the cavern. The sheer size and beauty of the place struck them deeply, and they all stood there for a while, admiring the sight. Zako was feeling left out. And growing impatient. "
Look, can we just get on with it? I don't want to sound cold, but we have to get a move on. I can't see any reason to stay here longer." The others sighed and gave him a painful look."
What?"
Kashyyk shook his head and looked back at the great cavern in front of them.
-
He would. -
Then, what? Do we do it here? The question remained unanswered. Kashyyk, Rooster and LASD began their descent into the darkness.
-
Fine. I'll keep watch here then. Mentally flipping the selector on his headband to visible light, Kashyyk made his hand into a powerful flashlight that immediately illuminated the entire cavern. Rock crystals formed entire forests along the rim of the great cave, in the center of which was a single great rock, white as the snow. Using his knowledge of the stone, Kashyyk carefully trod down, picking his way through the crystalline columns, and Rooster and LASD followed his steps as best as they could. For several minutes they walked this way until they finally reached a clearing. Lesser rock crystals and jagged obsidian monoliths made it no less easier to walk through, but they were wider apart, and Rooster's shell didn't get stuck quite as often.
Zako was getting bored. Looking at faint heat signatures in the distance proved sub-par for entertainment, and he decided to get out onto the open air to get some practice. On the surface, there was at least more room. Glancing back at the Furnace, Zako could see that just about everyone else was ready to go. Jay and Chaoticag were the only ones he could see away from the truck. When he turned his eyes back to the cavern entry, he was rather spooked to suddenly see the Mii'Ari, standing right next to him.
-
Whoa! Sneaky, you. -
Heh. I only do what comes natural. What goes on down there? -
I think they decided to bury the dwarf, Kosak, in that cavern. -
An underground grave? Curious. But, suppose it collapses? -
Why would it? -
I don't know. Just curious. Anyway, what are you
doing, keeping guard? -
Nah. Can't see a thing in there, so I got out to throw some wind. -
I see. Practice, hm? How about you toss some rocks around? With the wind? Might make a good weapon. Ok, good luck, return soon! Zako looked at Neo's back as he ran away toward the truck. "
Strange guy. I wonder if they're all like that? Can pitch a good idea though."
The trip through the crystal and stone pathways was exhausting. For LASD's legs, at least. Kashyyk bravely led the way, and they followed suit until they reached the great white stone in the middle. Somewhat blocky, a little rough, this was nevertheless a most astonishingly beautiful obelisk, made of a stone none of them could recognize.
-
There. We do it here. Kashyyk pointed at the base of the great stone, and began digging. The ground near the obelisk was rocky, hard, but it became the usual soft clay just a foot down. In just a few minutes, the grave was ready.
-
Okay, let's lower him. Carefully, now. Ten hands slowly lowered the dwarf to the bottom of the grave. He rested on a roughly-hewn obsidian slab that Rooster managed to pry off a nearby monolith, his hands on his chest still holding his weapon and his sock. More obsidian slabs were laid, forming the walls of the tomb, and Kashyyk placed seven rock crystal clusters around Kosak. Then, another slab of obsidian finally covered the dwarf's grave, and the soil was put back in its place, forming a burial mound that would have made any dwarf proud. Kashyyk, LASD, and Rooster stood together in silence. Finally, Kashyyk broke it.
-
We should write something. This stone is as good a tombstone as any. He went to the great white stone and lifted his hand to start writing, but fate intervened in its usual fashion. A great rumble echoed through the cavern, seemingly infinite in its resounding magnitude. Tiny rocks began to fall from the ceiling, followed by bigger and bigger ones.
-
The ceiling! The cavern is collapsing! RUN! They raced along familiar paths, as fast as legs would carry them. Rooster allowed LASD to ride him, and Kashyyk no longer picked his way through the beautiful columns, instead smashing through them with his steel body. Crystal splinters flew everywhere. Rocks and giant crystal formations dropped from the ceiling and shattered into geptillions of tiny shards, adding to the mayhem and taking out huge sections of the crystal forest. LASD covered his face with his shield, and Rooster did his best to cover his eyes as he ran, hoping that none of the great crystalline bombs would fall on him.
When they finally neared the exit, they allowed themselves a half-second to look back. The obsidian monoliths lay shattered, the crystal forest was gone, and only the obelisk remaind. Rocks from the ceiling kept falling onto the great white stone, but did not harm it. Seconds before the ceiling completely fell and buried Kosak's grave for all time, Kashyyk, Rooster and LASD leaped out of the cavity onto the clear ground.
The soil sagged and formed a crater where the cavern had been, dry clay sipping away through countless cracks and fissures in the stone below. Near it, a very conspicuously tired snakeman tried to make it seem that he had nothing to do with the collapse. Kashyyk was beyond consolation. He fell to his knees, and muttered.
-
All that beauty... gone... -
Don't worry. At least we gave him a good funeral. LASD tried to sound neutral, but he also felt sadness, something beyond mere disappointment of a ruined result of hard work. Suddenly, a glint of white caught his eye.
-
Hey, look! Kashyyk, look! Over there, in the crater! As the seeping soil slowly disappeared into the cracks, a small mound appeared in the center of the crater. It grew and grew as the soil disappeared, and finally it started to seep off the sides as well, revealing the brilliant white edges of the obelisk. The white stone survived the great collapse, and stood now above the ruin, appearing as a foot-high slab of rough whiteness. Kashyyk rejoiced, and ran towards it like a madman. Nobody could stop him even if they tried.
After all was done, the team reassembled at the hauler. Zako looked a little guilty, Neo looked a little sneaky, and Kashyyk, LASD, and Rooster looked more than a little tired. While they were away, Chaoticag almost managed to kill himself with his healing but survived with no ill effects in the end, Boksi got a headache, and the others managed to assemble and prepare the truck for departure. They could leave anytime they wanted. For Kashyyk, this was all irrelevant. He was happy with his work, for from now on, anyone who looked at this planet and found this place, could see a massive slab of engraved stone in the middle of the desert. A slab of stone covered with images of axes, fortresses, and burning socks. A slab of stone upon which it is written, in languages of Men and Dwarves:
SARAMRAKUSTLAM KOSAK SIDASIN LOKUMZUDEN
ZUDEN NOGZULBAN ZIRILZANEG SOLOZ

Artifacts:
Description: A massive, massive, MASSIVE sword. It is three meters long, 1'3'' (~40cm) wide, and dazzingly bright. Its fine steel has been polished to reflect light like a mirror. Its one edge is curved, jagged at the hilt, the other is straight and so sharp it could probably slice adamantine blocks like salami. Down the center of the sword, which is at least 2'' thick, runs a hollow slit 3'' wide, in which yeat another, smaller and straighter sword is concealed. The entire surface of both swords, except of course the sharp cutting edges, is finely engraved with uncountable images, among which the launching of the Challenger, world war II, a nuclear explosion, a trainwreck, and a rotary excavator. The hilt itself (being at the same time the hilt of the smaller sword) is decorated with gold and emeralds you can only assume you've taken from someone, arranged in beautiful patterns, and the handle is woven with three lines - one is a scaly snake with two small rubies in the eyes, and two seem awfully like DNA strands. You get a feeling you could decipher the human genome if you looked closely enough. The guard of the hilt is exquisitely detailed as well, but right down the senter of it, spanning the breadth of the sword, is a solid rectangular golden plate, with the single word: "ASHCRAVER" deeply embossed onto it. The entire thing is so immeasurably brilliant, you almost don't want to touch it fearing it'll stick to your hand and corrupt you like some magic ring. Overcoming this fear, you pick it up. Despite its size, it is relatively lightweight, relatively, of course, to anything else so large and made of steel. The hilt of the smaller blade has a folding guard that makes the weapon look like an overgrown sai.
Parameters: Full blade: +2 to damage, +1 to attack, -1 agility. Small blade: +1 to damage.
Known Details: "The Ashcraver seems to accumulate the energy released by the deaths it causes. The process is admittedly rather slow, but has good uses.
In mech form, Korora can unsheathe the sword by shouting ""ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!""
The sword has an AoE ranged projectile attack activated by shouting ""RAIN OF PAIN!"""
Description: The ring consists of a toroidal adamantine core surrounded by a shell of tempered steel with thin bands of gold along the rims of the ring. Set into an adamantine frame on its top is a Star Sapphire imbued with the dark soul of a Greater Demon, under absolute control of the wearer. The steel surface of the ring is covered by three hundred tiny tiles of granite, engraved with images of various creatures, all being dead.
Parameters: Applies a -1 penalty to using Fire and Darkness manipulation for every active effect already applied. Current penalties: -2 Darkness.
Known Details: "
The wearer of the ring may call onto the soul of the demon, which can manipulate darkness and fire - anything from direct projection to creating sentient forms to giving protection against.
The wearer can also give an order to summon a creature mad with rage (any creature from the DF world you have seen), which will use up one or several of the stone tiles, depending on the power of the creature. The tiles may be restored, but only through personally killing sentient creatures with bare hands and absorbing their essence with the ring, which also adds that creature to the ""summonable creatures"" list.
The price to pay for all this power is a constant aura of darkness that any living being will feel (and will react accordingly), and the wearer may, under critical stress, give in and become controlled by the trapped demon soul."
Description: An odd-looking gnarly stick made of iron and steel. The many wrinkles and crevices on its surface are ever so slightly glowing.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: The staff feels special, capable of doing wonrous things. Some of those things include: summoning a small lightning that seems to charge the staff, when being hit against the ground; launching a spark of electricity that explodes in a sparkling firework-like burst, on giving a generic mental command.
Description: (Universal Radiowave Manipulator) A hexagonal reflective box, rougly a foot across and 10cm thick.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: It can receive, process, transmit, focus, and disperse energy waves over a rather wide electromagnetic spectrum. Can work as a radio or a mini-microwave. Contains a battery that can be recharged by applying any electricity to the surface.

And then Zako's hurricane, aided by a mysterious force, levelled it completely. All players are here.
Sub-area 4: Saramrakust Kosak. A great engraved slab of hard white stone east of the Furnace, that is the top of a buried obelisk that stands over the grave of the dwarf Kosak Sidasin Lokumzuden.
