--Arthur--
Dejected, he walks to the portal and steps in, hoping to find new foods on the other side.

JacinYou call out for someone in the fountain and wait a moment, staring at your reflection. It stares back. The water on the surface gently ripples. There's no response. GlassYou check the bounty board, looking specifically for The Burning Heart in hopes of finding more information on this Terra person. There aren't too many posters on here yet, so it isn't hard to find. It looks like The Burning Heart is a massive furnace. At least, that's the picture on here. The others all seem to be different people or monsters. "Last Seen: Floor 10 The Burning Heart is an ancient machine, constantly burning and powering a long lost city. It can be found at the center of the ruins. Be wary when encountering it. It will use adversaries as fuel for the fire. Many of the machines it powers protect it. Danger: ***" Seems there's a star system on these bounties. They're all ranked on a scale of one to five stars. Rasimmrfuzz111You attempt to converse with your crewmates, but it seems many of them are either immediately distracted or ignore you. The only one that responds to you is Glass, suggesting that everyone take a look around this area. You watch as everyone splits up, covering different sections of the island. A group of five enter Death's Door, shortly followed by a sad looking man with a round belly. Glass clears away most of the debris, leaving behind a pile of wood and stone that could be potentially used later. Jacin is currently staring at his reflection in the healing fountain. Evelynn splits away from you, wandering around the old buildings. It seems it's just you and Mara now. She seems to be staring off into space. EvelynnYou make your way over to the old buildings. It seems most of the rubble is cleared away. Salvageable wood and stone sit in piles nearby the wreckage. It might be possible to repurpose or rebuild these buildings if you had the proper tools. You wander around, but it seems most of these have been picked clean by your crewmates. Many of the others have wandered off on their own by now with many entering Death's Door. As you look around, you notice what looks like a figure floating over the water in the distance. It's pretty hard to make out, but it looks like a person. The fog and the darkness combine to make one difficult view here. You feel something move among your belongings. No, you feel a slight warmth. It's the gem you have with you. It glows slightly and for just a moment, you think you see the figure turn toward you. Are you seeing things or...? MaraYou find yourself in a bit of a daze. The others around you have already made their moves, wandering about the island. You're still unsure what to do... The rodent man is still nearby. He was trying to talk to some of your allies earlier, but it seems many of them ignored him.

Disappointed, Jacin walks next to the big guy standing next to the bounty board. He examines looks through each bounty trying to determine how many of them are on the first floor.

Jacin
You look through every bounty on the board.
"Dracon"
The poster has a picture of a green dragon on it.
"Last Seen: Floor 1
Dracon is a monster trapped within an old dungeon. He lurks in the depths, searching for his next meal. Beware his noxious gas breath. CAUTION: Explosive.
Danger: **"
"Licherous"
The poster features a misshapen, warped skull with glowing, red eyes. It looks like it's attached to a body, but you can't see much else in this photo. A dark aura surrounds him.
"Last Seen: Floor 2
A powerful lich. Susceptible to healing. Those that look at him are afflicted with madness. Be wary of his eyes in particular.
Danger: **"
"Solara"
This poster has a masked woman seemingly made up of light itself. It looks like there are vines growing on her, but the headshot only reveals so much.
"Last Seen: Floor 3
Keeper of the Soul of Light. She is capable of healing herself and manipulating nearby plant life. The brighter her light glows, the more danger you're in.
Danger: **"
"Ne'alana"
What looks like Cleopatra is depicted here. At least from what you can see. Once again, these are headshots. At least from what you can tell with the human bounties.
"Last Seen: Floor 4
The daughter of the sun god Ra and the goddess Isis. Her magic is unmatched and she has many devout followers at her disposal. Current reigning pharaoh.
Danger: ****"
"Gladius"
This man's entire face is covered by a gladiator's helm. He appears to be shirtless. From what little you see of his body, there are many scars on him.
"Last Seen: Floor 5
Gladius will only reveal himself to a worthy challenger. Incredibly powerful in terms of physical power and agility. His hubris will be his downfall. Must follow the whims of the crowd.
Danger: ***"
"Titania"
This poster features a beautiful woman with pointed ears and fairy wings. Many flowers are braided into her hair.
"Last Seen: Floor 6
Queen of the fairies. Beware her illusions. A powerful mage and swordswoman.
Danger: ***"
"Londo"
This poster depicts a closeup of a crab. You think.
"Last Seen: Floor 7
The crab king. Londo contains no special abilities.
Danger: *"
"Varrik"
A pale man wearing elegant clothes bows toward you with an unsettling smirk. His black hair is coifed to one side.
"Last Seen: Floor 8
A powerful blood mage capable of summoning demons. Do not get caught with an open wound.
Danger: ***"
"Illyus"
A red haired man with a runic tattoo on his face is depicted. Angelic wings are folded behind him. Looks dejected.
"Last Seen: Floor 9
A pacifist. Will not fight, even if provoked.
Danger: *"

"At least now we know what we're looking for." Jacin turns to the large man also examining the board. "My name's Jacin, by the way?"

---Glass---
"Name's Glass Big... Explosive experts... Now that I think about it... Where are my explosives?"
Glass ponders the question, while examining the rest of the board.
"Solara... Vines... What do you say we go throw a Torch at that?"

Trying to not take all but one person ignoring him personally, Rasim heads over to the bounty board as well just in time to overhear Glass Big’s suggestion. “Mind if I go with you? It’s better than staying here waiting for the others to get back or attempting to gather a third group.”

Jacin smirks at the suggestion of a party. "If we survive and have time, sure. We can have a little celebration. Let's go."
Jacin moves toward Death's Door. "Come on. If we hurry, maybe we can catch up with the others."

Jacin, Rasim, Glass
The three of you decide to join up and search for this Solara person. The information from the bounty board should prove useful in your search.
You head over to the door, taking a look at the runes. According to the board, she should be on floor 3. You press the corresponding rune and feel the ground rumble slightly. Death's Door opens and a swirling, blue portal awaits you.
One by one, you step through, finding yourselves somewhere else...
(Loading... Did you know you can recruit allies to join you? Some may have requirements that need to be met first.)

Evelynn and Mara
While you go about your business, you notice what looks like a small summoning circle appear on the ground at the center of the village, just in front of the fountain.
"DUN DA DAAAAA! I'm finally here!"
A fuzzy, little, black creature with wings pops out of the circle. A little forked tail flicks around behind him. "Heyyyy, where IS everybody? Nobody was here for my grand entrance? Talk about LAME."
He flits absentmindedly over to the bounty board and pulls the lid of the bounty box open with some difficulty. "Whaaaaaat? There's nothing in here! You guys are so slow! You never get anything done! I guess it's up to me to help you." He shrugs.
The imp takes out a small hammer and starts working on something. As he moves about, a little cloud of dust hides his activities. Once he's finished, a small mailbox stands right next to the bounty board, opposite the box. "There we go! Now you can send and receive correspondence from other people! Oh, and packages. Those are the most important." He perches atop the mailbox. "And who will send your mail, but ME? The hero you all need."
Just then a massive rift opens up and darkness spills out as Death emerges from it. "You realize you're talking to yourself, don't you?"
"Do not talk down to me! I am one of the great SEVEN PRINCES OF HELL! I WILL BE RESPECTED!!!"
"Alright, alright. Don't get your fur ruffled. Now then, I believe you have something for me."
"Ah, delivering the mail. Where would society be without THE MAIL? It's the most important thing." He pulls out a small satchel and wears it on his tiny body. He reaches inside, taking out an envelope with Death's name on it in flowery writing. "Here you go."
"Oh, goody!" He rips the envelope in half and then throws it over his shoulder, burning it to bits with black flames. "Firepaper. Just what I wanted."
"That was a voucher, you imbecile!" The imp's teeny body toddles in the air.
"You think I don't know that? What do I need a voucher for? I can just make this thing whenever I want. I was just waiting for my permit to go through. Legal stuff, you know?" He pulls out a small potion bottle and looks around at the dilapidated buildings. "That one it is." He throws the bottle at one of the buildings and massive black clouds surround it, swirling around. "Well, my job is done here." He walks back out through the rift he walked in through and a comically large zipper closes it back up before disappearing.
"I'll never understand that guy..."
The dark clouds finish swirling around and disappear in a puff of air. In place of the old building is a newly built one. What looks like a large lab sits there with automatic glass doors inside. A rotating sign shaped like a cube that says "Catch! Mon!" sits on top of the building. There's also something that looks similar to an ATM sitting right outside.

Evelynn Intrigued by the figure in the distance, Evelynn heads toward the distant body of water, the gem in her hand.
Mara Mara looks around for a bit, the haze in her mind still present. She makes her way toward the bounty board and looks through the entries. After a moment or two, she takes notice of Evelynn wandering out on her own and calls out to her. "Hey, shouldn't you be heading through Death's Door or something?" Evelynn pays Mara no mind. Mara huffs and heads after her.

Evelynn and MaraYou approach the ocean, heading to the busted, old pier. As you do so, the gem pulses with a warm light. The mysterious figure seems to be getting closer and closer. Eventually, he breaks through the fog. It seems to be a man completely covered by a black cloak. He is completely silent. You notice him riding on a small ferry. There are a few others riding with him. Lilly, Derik, Justinethecreepyme @yoshi You find yourselves sitting on a small ferry boat, heading toward an ominous island. Dark clouds swirl above you in the sky. For some reason, you can't quite remember why you're here or how you got here. But you feel as if you remember something about a contract... You signed a contract from a man named Death. He told you to collect bounties for him. That you were now his reapers. But no matter how hard you think, you can't seem to remember what you were doing before you were on this island. This island only seems to have a few key features. A large laboratory, a fountain of white water, a board with various posters on it, and a massive gate with a skull and glowing runes on it. There are also two girls standing on the pier, staring at you. Evelynn and MaraAs the ferryman brings the newcomers to the island, he stops the boat and reaches out a single hand to you. He points at the gem in your hand. "Gaaaaaahhhh..." His voice is raspy. You can't understand what he's saying.

Justine will take a look around and see if her trusty google search can show her anything of interest.
