Who: Craig Boone | Niko Bellic | Linda Esquivel
What: A Rescue / Fact Finding Mission
When: Based after Belloq's betrayal and his report of Niko's death.
Where: The jungle temple.
Notes & Warnings: Hugs and swearing and angry faces. Everything important for playing in the temple should be in the link except for the raided. Potential starters for both getting in and the state Niko will be in when he's found.
[There is a reason that guides are usually used in the wilderness. It's already dark, and in the shadow of the hulking jungle trees (much larger than the ones closer to the village) there are already creatures waiting to crawl out of the dark. It's a good idea to move and to move fast.]
[But at the foot of the temple is a very good dog that is ignored by most of the things roaming around him, gnawing on the bone of some skeleton that was killed by a spider and waiting for his master to come back down. It's taking a while. longer than he thought it would, and he's wondering if he'll have to start hunting for food. When he hears people he flops his tail in a lazy way, thinking that he smells people he knew to be friendly (but then again, he'd known Belloq as friendly as well), and he shifts to a sitting position.]
[The torches have been removed, so it's a little strange if this is the location: you would think someone would leave the torches if they ever wanted to return and not run into trouble. And Boone's went through a temple before. Niko is smart. He always lays out torches.]
[At least the vines are sturdy and pretty good for climbing?]
[When it first happened, Niko dug at a brick in the building with his knife for an hour like he would accomplish anything, until long after the sounds of Belloq and milling Orions had departed. He removes one small stone, enough for air to pass through. He can even see gears through that hole, barely.]
[Then his knife breaks.]
[It's in that moment that he realizes that, even if he doesn't suffocate, he's going to die of starvation in here. He settles miserably into the corner, leaning his shoulder agaist it, tired from useless digging. He's going to abandon his friend that he promised he wouldn't. Who is going to take Snažan? She's a good, loving animal. Would she (dubiously a she) be okay in the desert? Or on any Earth? He grimaces to himself and pulls out his wallet. He has to find a picture to write a last will and testiment on the back of.]
[That's too depressing. He starts searching the room again, and leans over the chest. ...And pulls out the diamond sword? What the shit? There were two in there? That doesn't make any sense. Belloq, luckily in Niko's mind (he's glad he got out with as little as possible) hadn't waited long enough for Niko to look through the chest any more. Big diamonds, bigger than Bulgarin's ever dreamed of being. They are so gratifying to hold. Emeralds. Gold bars- heavy. He's never picked up real gold bars before. He sniffs them as if they'd have a scent- they're actually musty. And it's the best scent he's ever smelled.]
[Niko's not a greedy man but if he's going to die in here, he's going to die with all of the things Belloq can't have.]
[That hole is big enough for him to shove all of those through, both gems and gold. They clatter to the empty bit of floor in that narrow, closed off area. If they come back for them, they won't find them. They'll just find Niko sitting here with a very sharp sword ready to gut them. He presses his back against the wall again to wait for sound from the other side.]

A. | Outside the Temple

B:| Inside is a very pissed Niko Bellic
[When it first happened, Niko dug at a brick in the building with his knife for an hour like he would accomplish anything, until long after the sounds of Belloq and milling Orions had departed.

Elle + Ashe
Boone doesn't wait. Elle understands, she does, because it's going to take a while to safely clear out the bottom level. Who knows how many creatures have taken up residence in the dark? And that's not even covering the possible problem of tripping into a trap in the quest to light the place up again. But, still. As Boone and Linda decide to move onward, her heart twists with fear. What if they... She shakes her head firmly at herself. No. She knows all the things Boone can survive. Believe in him. And Linda doesn't have her job for nothing. Believe in them. Don't worry too much; just do what you came here to do.
She looks to Ashe -- or, well, where she remembers Ashe standing. It's really dark in here. She flicks on her Pip-Boy light. A soft amber light glows around them.] Okay, [she says, careful to keep her voice soft.] We need to replace the torches. But there are probably monsters down here, and traps, too. So... Keep an eye out, okay? Let me know if you see anything out of place.

Ashe had started walking, he had his face cleaned today, a little bit of stubble but otherwise he looked pretty normal... for a guy in leather. He had his head tilted kind of funny as he blinked looking around.]
Yes, though for fire, I may be able to help there. [ He smiled some pulling out a zippo. He doesnt really smoke, not that much anyway, it was more just force of habit. Lighters were useful. His voice stayed low like hers.] We just need something flamable.
