"Hmm..." Zomiel stood there, thinking. He took one last drag from the cig and then flicked it into the waterfall of darkness. He pulled out one of his flametouched iron swords, holding it in his hand. "What do you think a really hot sword would do to that stuff?"
[If they give me the go-ahead, I heat up the sword with my graft and stick it in the black waterfall thing. ]

"Feel free to try, but I don't know that it will do anything.. Im more curious to see what it would do to a living creature.. as im beginning to think it is more just blackness, almost as if it really were just a waterfall of darkness, and perhaps we can just pass through it... But i wouldnt try that yet.. Go ahead and try the sword while I think."

Zomiel holds the sword in his hand and lets his arm's inner fire out into the blade. It glowed red as he stabbed the darkness.
[ooc] "I attack the darkness! lol" [/ooc]

"I believe I may be the best to try out the living creature test... My people are well versed in the ways of darkness and shadows, and I also have a bit of a defense..."
Warshade points at his own head as his sigls begin to glow softly.
[ooc:] I have a racial bonus vs. darkness spells and effects with the shadow descriptor... [/ooc]

The blade plunges into the darkness and the light cast off from the heat seems to disperse some of the cloudy film of inky darkness, but then it reinvelopes it and the blade feels somewhat strange. You get the distinct impression that this field is self-replenishing and that even if you successfully passed it you would not be returning this way as easily.
The sword appears unharmed when you remove it from the film of darkness but the heat is totally gone from it.

Zomiel walks away from the waterfall of darkness. He stabs the sword into the floor and sits down, crossing his arms in thought. A minute later, something came to mind. And then he hits himself in the head with his palm. "Oh wait, that's right... stupid shadowy monster thing. Can't go checking out that other path yet."
[ooc] And the Yamazaki's ADD strikes again as he remembers random things only to be shot down once somebody else reminds him of the situation. lol [/ooc]

"hmm.. That was interesting.." Reaching into his pack he pulls out a regular torch and lights it, letting the flame roar to life, before pushing it into the curtain of darkness so that the flame itself is halfway in the darkness and halway out, curious to see what happens.

The flame dies out completely within a few moments... but the temperature remains hot. It's almost as though it tore away the light...

"Well this is interesting.. It seems to draw non-magical light into itself, leaving the heat, but light or heat based in nature seems to be absorbed. I wonder if other magics are absorbed or only light based ones." With that he goes into the throws of casting again, this time tossing out a dispel magic into the field.

The spells effect seems to hit the inky curtain and disrupts it for a moment, approximately 14 seconds, and then it reforms itself. You can gather (rather easy spot check) that the length/depth of the darkness is about 20 feet.

"That seemed to work, sorta. Though it seems like it'd be a tough squeeze to run through that." The blade master held another cigarette, seeming to ponder about lighting up yet another. After a moment, he puts it back into its pack and that into his coat pocket. "So, do we run the gauntlet or not? Either way, I'm game."

"Doesn't seem like a difficult run to me. I'll even go first, just to show you how its done. Everybody follow quick-like, or its gonna get ya." The sarcastic tone practically drips from Jecht's voice with the last few words.

"Perhaps we should first explore the other direction that we haven't seen yet before possibly getting ourselves to the other side of a barrier of unknown power and source..."
Warshade speaks up from his silent contemplation of the situation, seemingly honestly concerned of what may happen if the group manages to actually make it to the other side.

"I'll leave that decision up to everyone here. I believe I can get us through, but I'm only fairly certain. So if everyone would prefer we search the other way first, I'm fine with that, I just want to make sure we don't forget this is here."
