Krissy 02-23-04, 08:38 PM	Krissy, the young brunette with transparent blue eyes, and pale skin. She looks to be twelve, yet very sickly in her light-blue robes as she walks out from the Flute and Boot Inn. "I must... I must find it..." She says, as she frantically pushes on, shivering slightly in the Cool night air. Drindin then materializes near by. "Hmm..." He says below his breath, noting the direction she's heading in. "This can't be good... not at all, not in any way... I feel I may need help." His eyes follow his nieces path, watching her go off in the direction that she is, south east.
Aerie 02-24-04, 12:51 AM	Walks along the path reading her map, not sure if this was the way to the tavern.
firelizard Brad 02-24-04, 09:09 AM	The tavern door behind Drindin pushes open slightly, then closes just as quickly. A flapping sound is heard as the little firelizard, Brad takes flight. He hovers near Drindin, also watching Krissy's path. He asks Drindin a question while he's watching. "Where she going in hurry? I like little girl!" ((OOC: His common is suppose to be like that, he's just learning to speak it.))
kulideb 02-24-04, 10:24 AM	The elf trotted after the girl while trying to fastern her cloak. "Krissy! wait up!"
Evil Eyeball 02-24-04, 01:44 PM	A floating eyeball telepathically comunicates with the elf "I dont say anything relevent to the current situation guy! Änd then it hovers away
Darkskies 02-24-04, 05:18 PM	Srouded by a black trench coat a figure acompanied by a silver hawk walks toward the Flut and Boot Inn as he notices the young girl running by. . o O (Hmm... this doesn't seem right, being a protector for hire maybe I will beable to gain a few coins in helping that discuraged girl...) Darkskies turns and looks toward the elf maiden chasing after the girl and starts to follow her, hoping he might be able to get some information on what is happening. ((well it said "Open" so will it be okay if I join... if not jsut ignore this post))
Krissy 02-24-04, 06:01 PM	((Yes, it said open, which means exactly that... as long as you are reasonable, and don't disrupt the thread, in which case I might say "na uh")) Drindin quickly follows after Kulideb, DS, and Krissy, simply nodding to the Firelizard. Krissy suddenly picks up her pace. "Must reach... it..." Suddenly, a thick mist fills the area, and Krissy disappears from sight. "Damnit." Drindin says. "He's already got her... but I know where she's heading. Follow me. You there, sir..." He points at Darkskies. "Who are you?"
Darkskies 02-24-04, 06:04 PM	Darkskies galnces over at Drindin, I am a bodyguard and mercenary for hire, and the young lady seems like she might need help... Stops and looks at Drindin directly, So do you know what is happening and what do you mean he already has her closed thought. o O ( And I might be able to gain a few coins on a side note... but maybe I should find information first)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-24-04, 10:58 PM	A horse that seems to lack any kind of hair exept the tail, whose blackness borders the blue of a lat night's sky, steps from behind some vegetation or other natural obstacles. On it all can see a large, and more standartly-black figure, with a pait of massive horns, theyr tipps sawn off, and a scaleml that leaves his chest opened; An beautyfull ivory staff is attached to the front of his saddle. Some of the present recognize him, since his site associates inevitably with the girl everyone follow - Atlas Athakus, the sowhorneian minotaur, a knight devoted to Maban. His voice is grim and concrete: "Krissy?"
Krissy 02-25-04, 12:05 AM	Drindin sighs. "I mean my Dad, her grandpa, already has her. Come quickly now! There is not time to waste! You, Atlas, how many can that beast of a horse carry along with yourself?"
Aerie 02-25-04, 12:37 AM	..Oo Those people seem in a hury, something about a girl? Danger!..oO Aerie followed behind the others trying to see if the girl needed help.
firelizard Brad 02-25-04, 08:00 AM	With a small chirp Brad lands himself on one of his favorite perches, Kulideb's shoulder. He whispers into her ear. "Where little girl? She in trouble? Can we help her? I come to."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-25-04, 01:03 PM	Atlas turns to his mount, and pronounces a few, horribly accented words in celestial. The steed nods and snores aprovingly, in responce. The minotaur's next words are addressd to Drindin, and are spoken in common: "Bytopymabasd will carry whatever his back's width will allow, and i will dismount and carry as much. Weight is no problem." Atlas, in his grim and duty-consumed way, enjoied the company of this death-man, whose manners were pleasant to him - a rare quality in humans, who generally consider smalltalk, frequent humor, and a score of other routs of unnecessary speach, to be accepted and even expected as civility. Last time he met Drindin, there was another man, who although seemed the manifestaion of human irritation at first, turned out to have the uncompromising seflessness of an archon. In his heart, Atlas hoped that Sanctus will appear at some point of this "scroll". Thinking of the ocasion when he met both the priest and Sanctus, brough about memory of the other participants, and ye - this elf was there as well, trying to protect Kryssy... he slowly nodded to Kulideb, whose name he did not remember, while sliding off of Bytopimabasd's back.
Darkskies 02-25-04, 04:24 PM	Darkskies glances over to Atlas with a confused look, then shaking his head noticing no one is moving anywhere at the moment. He stepd over to a tree near the path and leans against it, the silver hawk takes flight purching on a lean of the tree. He looks toward Drindin, ""Since you know what is happening, I will lend my services to you.... Now where do we begin?"
kulideb 02-25-04, 04:58 PM	The elf put her hand up and petted the lizard, while sending it images of Krissy and her dazed state. "Well met again Lord Atlas." she said to the minotaur. She looked at the man with the silver hawk, and held out a small hand. "Hello, my name is Kulideb, i'm the owner of the Flute and boot Inn. Krissy was in my care for a while, I thought she was still at the school.I have money to pay for your services." She looked at the group, and felt a great sadness, almost the same people here as when Drindin had died, and Sanctus had been taken from them. "Drindin, what do you want us to do?"
firelizard Brad 02-25-04, 05:15 PM	Brad feels Kulideb's saddness at this meeting and though he knows not why, this strengths his resolve to help out. He whispers to her again. "No worry, we get her. We help out, Brad help to!" He chirps cheerfully after he says this, trying to cheer her up.
Krissy 02-25-04, 06:02 PM	Drindin peers of into the mist. "We must head east. If I am right, my father, may I spit on his grave, is staying a temple dedicated to his 'new' god, Nerull... he's obtained a device of great power, but I'm not sure what it is... all I know is he threatened the life of my Niece, and, as I hope... it is my final duty to save her."
Darkskies 02-25-04, 06:39 PM	Darkskies shakes the hand of the elf madien, his hand seems to be warm but a cold chill emits from his body. "I don't know my name, but if you need to call me anything call me Darkskies." Looks over to Drindin, "Then lets make haste, thinks can't get any better with us just standing around here." A carefree expreastion seems to linger on his face. He rests his hand on the hilt of his long sword and starts to make his way east, stoping to wait for the others to take suit.
Sliver_Over_Mind 02-25-04, 07:52 PM	Do you mind if I join? if you don't here is my post: A young women, elegant and thin, seemingly appears out of no-where, and shouts in a loud voice "ZUT!!!! I ALMOST HAD HIM!!!!" and looks around, wondering who she had just made a fool of herself in front of. she observes the wide variety of people, stares intently at Drindin, Darkskies, Kulideb, Brad, Atlas, Aerie and decides that she had better explain herself: "I was fighting a reality shaper, maybe you know of them, he folded reality placing me in this reality, hence the sudden appearance" It is at this point she realizes how torn up her clothes are, in there current state, little more than rags. she blushes a deep red, but decides another topic would be better "Since i don't know this reality, i will just follow you...you...um...group of adventuring indivduals" she looked a little proud of herself.
Drindin 02-25-04, 10:44 PM	Drindin shakes his head. "This is getting odder... and odder... and odder. Regardless, let us be off! WITH HASTE!" Suddenly spreads his arms, and begins to fly through the air! His arms close at his side, his etheral cloaks rippling in an un-felt breeze. Meanwhile... "Where... where am I?" Says a dazed, confused Krissy. As if to answer he question, a single ray of light falls on a shrouded figure, the only part of him visible being his rotting, bony hands, which find themselves on the keys of an organ made from bones, with obsidian skulls in the tubes of the instrument. The man plays an eerie cord, and a chorus of tormented souls lets loose it's voice as blood runs down the tubes. As the man continues to play, he says one sentence, with a raspy, dead voice... "Approach, Granddaughter."
Sliver_Over_Mind 02-26-04, 12:33 AM	With a low pitched growl, the nameless women begins running at what seems to be too fast, chasing after drindin, quickly becoming a silver/white streak, (her clothes were of such colors), doing her best to keep up with Drindin, though failing to some extent, due to her inability to fly, and not be hampered by the ground. She obviously thinks of this as a small thrill in order to chase after something quick and fast. before she began running, you finally got a good look at her. she was short, maybe 5 and 1/2 feet, fit, with red hair, and a potent green stare. she carried no weapons, but for some reason looked like she could be far more dangerous than many a fighter weilding a sword.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-26-04, 12:18 PM	"Nerrrrulll..." Atlas repeated the name with greate spite, as if grinding the word with his teeth. "The foul temple shall fall, and my spit will fall near yours, lord Drindin!" He snored and moved his foot, the way a bull does before charging, and before rushing forth, turned to Kulideb and Darkskies: "Ride Bytopimabasd. He will give you speed." With that he sprints in the same direction where drindin flew and the alien woman ran; His greate strength and endurance should allow him to keep up for quite a while, and his rightous fury, now directed at the destruction of a blasphemy, boosts his speed farther.
Darkskies 02-26-04, 12:34 PM	Darkskies shakes his head as the others take off beside him, then he takes off toward the east in a walk, his Hawk taking flight follwoing after Drindin. "He will be my eyes for this journey, and I will meet you at the destination. I will not be far behind my winged friend."
Sliver_Over_Mind 02-26-04, 06:41 PM	As the woman continues to run, she begins to talk with Atlas, so he would, even to begin to trust her. "Sorry for my ingracious entrance, and rude opening, so now I will answer any questions that you might have regarding me." "First and formost, my name is Angua. That is all you really need to know about me, unless you want further details" (OOC: if you want very specific information or a really good description, simply E-mail me at mortimusdiscus@hotmail.com)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-27-04, 06:53 AM	Somewhat srprised that the woman has breath enough to speak verbously, reagardless of theyr fast pace, atlas nods. "Atlas Athakus, mabanite knight of Sawhorne." He doesn't seem to show any particular trust or mistrust, nor does he ask anything further.
Krissy 02-27-04, 02:16 PM	As the hastening group charged forth towards the foul temple, Drindin's eyes narrowed as it came into. Meanwhile... Krissy lay prone before the lich, as he prepares for the sacrifice...
kulideb 02-27-04, 03:58 PM	Kulideb gave Lord Atlas mount a pat then climbed on. She loved to ride and being on such a magnificent mount would have been a pleasure under diffrent circumstance.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-27-04, 10:25 PM	Seeing that the one who suggested to refer to himself as "Darkskies" declined his offer, and not wanting to waste saddle-space, Atlas swinged himself over the celestial horse's back, as soon as it passed by him, sitting himself behind Kulideb. Bytopimabasd galloped slightly faster than Atlas did by foot, and would last much longer than the minotaur was likely to.
Sliver_Over_Mind 02-28-04, 01:50 PM	Angua leaps through the air, about 30 feet into the air, in order to try and locate the temple. (OOC: what do I see drindin?) as she lands, Angua seems to become shorter as she falls towards the ground. When she does land, she moves decently faster than before.
Drindin 02-28-04, 02:51 PM	The temple is about 10 kilometers out of town. (don't ask me what that is in miles), and not very far away from the group (at the speed they're traveling at, it should take about five minutes to reach it.) Meanwhile... The lich begins to chant ceremoniously, as he lights red candles placed ceremoniously around krissy, who looks like she's in some sort of a trance...
Darkskies 02-28-04, 04:12 PM	Darkskies Hawk that has been following Drindin lands on a lim on a tree beneath the group, and as out of now where he steps out of the shadows beneath the tree lim and takes off on foot close behind Angua.
firelizard Brad 02-29-04, 07:30 AM	Brad clings to Kulideb as they get closer to the temple. Suddenly he takes flight , going ahead of the group to the temple he can now see. He flutters looking for an open window, door, and any other way he can sneak in. ((He's roughly the size of a large house cat, so doesn't need to be a big opening.)) He sends this message to the group. o O(To all> If I find way in I try stale him till bigger people get there? Ok?)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-29-04, 08:20 AM	It takes Atlas a full minute fo looking around and grunting, before he realizes where the message came form. He looks up at the firelizzard and responds: "Better unlock the gates from within."
kulideb 02-29-04, 08:47 AM	The elf nodded to brad. "Good idea, see if you can work with the silver hawk, he might be able to scan one side of the building while you look at the other."
firelizard Brad 02-29-04, 09:34 AM	o O(All> Ok I keep looking. Darkskies person, hawk help look?) Brad keeps up his search.
Darkskies 02-29-04, 10:54 AM	Darkskies smirks and looks back to his hawk who takes flight and makes its way to the other side of the temple to scan. "He is on his way."
Krissy 02-29-04, 11:33 AM	There is a large, black, run down gate with obsidian skulls jammed at the top of the pointed poles. The gate is open just big enough for both hawk and lizard to pass through. Drindin simply goes right through the gate, and into the dark reaches of the dungeon... Meanwhile.... Krissy is now tied to the altar, screaming, trying to get away, unsuccessfuly. The lich raises a knife above his head... BUT WAIT! "Lower the knife, you who DARES shame the name Trunin with your existence!" The lich, swiftly spins around, and is faced with the ghost of his own sun. "YOU! But... you're dead!" Drindin stands tall, his ghost touch sword in his hand, as he raises it preparing for battle. The lich draws his own sword, and charges forth with a triumphant battle cry, and both Lich and Ghost lock in mortal combat.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-29-04, 12:15 PM	Bytopymabasd reaches the gates, carrying Kulideb and Atlas, and without stopping, rams his front tooves against the door once.
firelizard Brad 02-29-04, 12:40 PM	Brad sqeezes through the gate quickly and finds the lever controling it. Using his telekenises powers he moves the lever and raises the gate so all the other can come in. He then flies straight down to the dungeon where he witnesses the lich and the ghost fighting. He sends up a quick thought. o O(<all> Hurry! Theres a big fight going on down here!) After he sends that he flies down to where Krissy is tied up and tries to chew through whatever is holding her down.......
kulideb 02-29-04, 02:50 PM	Kulideb held on tight as the large horse kicked at the door. "Did you get Brads message we must hurry!"
Darkskies 02-29-04, 05:04 PM	Darkskies shakes his head standing infront of the gate, his hawk trines to find the enternce to the temple. Once found the hawk will attempt to un latch it. "Hurry up already..."
Sliver_Over_Mind 02-29-04, 06:19 PM	Angua leaps past the rest of the group, and runs past into the Altar room. she grabs Krissy, and runs back to Kulideb, and gives Krissy to her. You see there, a wolf. She then quickly reverses direction, changes to hybrid form and races back to combat the lich, making a massive leap, to try and cut down the lich in a single swoop.
Drindin 02-29-04, 06:26 PM	Drindin grits his teeth as the Lich tries to force him down with his blade. He doesn't even glance at Anguna. "Quickly! The organ! Destroy the organ!" Drindin forces the lich up, swinging at his stomach, slashing it open. The lich merely laughs. "You may kill me, but as long as my Phylactery lives, I'll come back!"
Sliver_Over_Mind 02-29-04, 06:35 PM	Angua nods, her eyes flash, and swirl, as thousands of pricks of light slide over the now black eyes, and a thousand tiny stars float around her. Her arms broaden, and her claws become deadly sharp. she runs up to the organ, and begins to tear it to pieces, slashing with incredible speed, each swipe taking with them large chuncks of musical instrument and blood.
Darkskies 02-29-04, 07:54 PM	Makes his way in with a little less enthusiasm then Angua. "A bit of a crazied one we have there." He then draws his long sword and dagger and looks to the lich and Drindin. "Any aid needed dead one? The beast lady seems to have killed the organ."
Drindin 02-29-04, 08:07 PM	Drindin keeyas, as he smashes his ghost touch sword into the lich's stomach. "FIND THE PHYLACTERY! IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GONNA DIE!"
firelizard Brad 03-01-04, 07:23 AM	Brad takes off and follows the Lady who has Krissy out. He decides to keep an eye on Krissy rather then look for something he has no clue about.
kulideb 03-01-04, 07:36 AM	"Brad would you mind watching over Krissy?" the elf said to the firelizzard. She went in to the temlpe, and tried to resist the urge to help Drindin. He was right the best thing they could was to find the phylactery. ((could with a little info on the temple, doors leading off that sort of thing:) ))
Drindin 03-01-04, 09:20 AM	((There is indeed a trap door... under the organ.))
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-01-04, 09:46 AM	Angua stands up and smirks. then in a sort of laughing voice says "I think I got rid of the organ" she then peers around the rubble that is the remains of the organ. and asks "any ideas where that phylactery thing is?" she looks around the room, looking for a place where you could hide a 1 inch by 2 inch object, or something that could be as small as a ring. Deciding that there are about a trillion places, she looks in the remains of the organ, considering how powerful it used to be, and other than the altar, probably the next biggest thing. (OOC: Drindin, why exactly did you say there is a trap door under the organ? shouldn't we have to figure that out? and I tried to make this post as little affected by the previous post as possible)
Drindin 03-01-04, 09:50 AM	(Cause Kuli was looking for a door... and thus she found one.)
Darkskies 03-01-04, 11:54 AM	Darkskies nods to Drindin and his hawk purches on hsi shoulder as he makes his way to the trap door Kul foubd. "So who goes first...?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-01-04, 03:03 PM	After Brad unlocks the door and Bytopimabasd swings it open and charges in, carrying Kulideb and Atlas, the minotaur quickly discovers that no9 matter how much of the lich's bones he may breake, it was no use. He holds up his staff, looking at the altar. "On behalf of Maban! This unholy place will crumble to dust this day!!!" With that he sends the staff like a spear, and in the short time of its flifght, it changes into the shape of a huge quill, and begins to glow. Reaching the altar, it goes halfway in, as of iy was a needle, and the stone was soft as a human's flesh. Atlas turens to the trapdoor, and tries to stomp it open; if that fails, he follows with his flail, bringing the extra-heavy spiked orb against the wooden surface. "So who goes first...?" "All of us!" And with these words, he jumps right on, down the trapdoor, and looks around, his flail ready, while Maban's symbol slowly cleances the area, decomposing the dark altar.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-01-04, 06:15 PM	Angua gleefully leaps down the trap door, not caring when she will hit the bottom. her arms thin, and her claws get smaller, then the claws disappear all together as she returns to human form. she peers into the room, wondering why on EARTH she is underneath a crumbling temple!?!?!? she jumps up, and makes a dash for the exit. deciding that the roll of protecting krissy wouldn't be such a bad thing to do. maybe she could even get some clothes. Angua starts talking to Krissy, asking "how do you feel about your current situation? the reason why I am asking is so I don't touch a sensitve subject, and end up casting down to hades a relationship the could be quite interesting." "also, do you know anyway I could get some clothes right now? I kind of want to get something with a little more pizazz, so I am no longer in any kind of rags. It's difficult going from the richest family in an entire country, to this. again."
Krissy 03-01-04, 07:33 PM	Krissy points at the temple. "I'm not sure... but, shouldn't you be helping my uncle? I can take care of myself... there's things about me that aren't obvious when you see me."
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-01-04, 09:21 PM	Angua stands up, and trots back into the Temple, jumps down the trapdoor, and asks of Atlas "why exactly did you come up with the idea to destroy the ZUT temple?!?!" "we are sort of In it?!?!" "let's go in and find the Phlactery fast, BEFORE the temple colapses" (OOC: Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai, I didn't like the idea of crumbling the temple, then going and finding the phlactery)
Darkskies 03-01-04, 09:27 PM	Darkskies narrows his eyes at Atlas, "He is a hasord to everyones health here." He makes his way down the trap door, his silver hawk purched on his shoulder and emits a silver light to eluminate the the passage that the trap door opens.
Drindin 03-01-04, 10:04 PM	The door opens relatively easily, as the planks are rotted. Destruction of the altar proves only to momentairily distract the Lich, as both undead still engage eachother, neither going to stay down for much more than a day... The halway is empty, or so it would seem, save for a single door at the end of the darkened place. You can see little else other than the red carpet leading up to the obsidian portal. The walls are a bare and grey stone. The roof is supported by iron braces that keep it from collapsing.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-01-04, 10:16 PM	"Maban's wrath is never too hasty. It will spare the temple's walls, only cleansing them, untill we leave. But when none but the lich remains - this taint will be erased! Nerull's power here will be broken! Now come on!" With that, the minotaur grabs the red rung, and swings it away, to reveal any possible traps, then rushes along it, keeping closer to the left wall, towards the black portal.
Drindin 03-01-04, 10:32 PM	The rug doesn't seem to want to move... and when it gets up on it's own volition, it's quite obvious why. The rug rulls it's end up, and trys to smash Atlas in the head.
kulideb 03-02-04, 03:32 AM	"Emm...I thought of asking Shady to go first, he's small and can shadow jump out of danger." But looking round she found the others were all ready off, she followed them, staying quiet and hiding in the shadows.
Drindin 03-02-04, 09:48 AM	Originally posted by kulideb "Emm...I thought of asking Shady to go first, he's small and can shadow jump out of danger." But looking round she found the others were all ready off, she followed them, staying quiet and hiding in the shadows. ((Um... the rug is alive.... and it's attacking you... well, atlas, really.))
Branth 03-02-04, 10:21 AM	Brad lands on Krissy's shoulder and watches everyone take off to help Drindin. He turns to her and says. "I stay with you. I not much help to big people, so I keep eye on you. Ok Kisy*?" ((*he can't say her full name yet, still learning.))
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-02-04, 05:58 PM	Angua leaps on the rug, and tries to wrestle it to the ground, trying to pin it. She changes to hybrid form, and starts using her claws to assist her, by sticking them into the rug, and slashing at it. "how do you kill a rug?" she inquires.
Krissy 03-02-04, 06:49 PM	Krissy smiles at the firelizard, stroking it's head as she nods.
Darkskies 03-02-04, 09:19 PM	Darkskies turns to see Angua fighting with a rug. Arches a brow as he lights a tourch that was strapped under his trench coat and walks over to the rug and lights a corner of it on fire. "I think you should step back now."
Drindin 03-02-04, 10:26 PM	The rug, noticing the fire, swiftly swings at Darkskies. The fire still burns, but not as big as it previously was do to the swift movement. The ripping and tearing doesn't seem to have slowed it very much... More noticably so when the rest of it starts to roll towards the crew from the other end of the hallway...
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-02-04, 11:35 PM	Angua looks at darkskies blankly. "just lit the zut thing on fire! I'll be fine." "I am very hard to hurt, except when people use silver."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-03-04, 08:52 AM	The strike to his forehead cought Atlas by surprise, and pushed him quite well, making him stumble backwards to avoid falling. Regaining his ground, the minotaur charged forwards, swinging his heavy flail at the rug, and at the same time replying to the werewolf and Darkskies: "The same way you kill anything! More fire!!!"
Krissy 03-03-04, 08:09 PM	The rug staggers a moment after the hit... and then it hits Atlas. Well, not just atlas... every one. It being the end of the rug... which had been rolling towards them for the last few seconds. It smashes into the crew, attempting to sling them against the back wall, paying no heed to it's own safety.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-03-04, 08:25 PM	Angua flies across the room, smashing into the far wall. and yells, "THAT IS IT!!!!" her eyes glow, once again shining with a thousand small stars, as a light shines around her hand. she jumps forward, and attempts to dissolve the carpet, with her now acidic touch.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-03-04, 08:39 PM	The hard strike of his back against the wall didn't wound him, but it daffinately brought him to a pauee. He landed on one knee, after sliding down form the wall, and shook his head to regain clearness of sight, before attacking again. "Burn it!!!" This time he didn't charge, however, but approached carefully, waiting on-guard, and only striking when the rug would attempt to swing at him again. If timed well, his flail's head, combined with the minotaur's great strength, should be enough to parry the rug, and maybe even harm it to some extent. {{trying Smite Evil again}}
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-03-04, 08:56 PM	(the rug isn't evil, merely animated)
Drindin 03-03-04, 09:34 PM	The acid touch burns a considerable hole in the carpet, and the minotaurs flail punches a few minor holes, and knocks the carpet-roll back a few feet. ((Yeah... it's a neutral construct, so, no evil here.))
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-04-04, 10:50 AM	Inspired with the rug's non-retaliation, the minotaur leans firwards, and rushes against the rug, while swinging his flail horizontally, and trying to gore it at the same time. He saw his actions are of little effect, but hoped to keep enough of the rug's attention, to allow the ones wielding acid and fire to do theyr part with less resistance from the deamn thing.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-04-04, 07:43 PM	Angua gets mad by the relatively little effect, and yells "Zut this!!!" her eyes glow once again, and you feel she is exerting much effort into this attack. a long firey beam of...fire strikes the carpet, though it won't actually light it on fire, the beam will confuse it, and cause considerable damage.
Drindin 03-04-04, 08:11 PM	The massive carpet shrieks as the fire strikes it, and it swing around frantically as it's impaled ontop of atlas' horns.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-04-04, 10:25 PM	Though the rug covered his eyes, so he couldn't see how the others are doing, the carpet's distress was apparent to Atlas. Reassured by the assumed success, he pushes on, pressing the rug together, trying to force it to fold and fill less space. He hopes it'll be more combustible that way, and hopes a spring-effect won't ocure. His back could take a few of these wall-slams, but if it hurled him like a sping, all across the corridor... ouch.
kulideb 03-05-04, 04:44 PM	If things hadnt been so grave the elf might have laughed at them all fighting with a rug and worse still the thing seemed to have the upper hand! She tried to slice her sword through it, may be cuting it into small parts would stop the thing.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-05-04, 06:05 PM	Angua looks exhausted, and slightly amazed that the beam didn't kill the thing. Angua, tiredly begins another ability, once again stars surrounding her, and flowing through her eyes. again her claws become large and powerful. she begins to run, and then runs up the wall, onto the side! still running along, she prepares to move in case the carpet attacks her, onto the roof, floor, or the other wall. her claws at the ready, to slice the thing, as soon she is within range. (OOC: Atlas, don't tell Drindin that, he will do it. I know him.)
Drindin 03-05-04, 06:51 PM	((Hehehe....)) The rug springs off of atlas, and up at Anguna, it's sides already extremely frayed.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-05-04, 07:29 PM	Never repeat an experiment that worked, wisely suggests one of the most briliant deductions from Murphy's Law. Unfortunately, minotaurs on Dyverside and Oerth are far from being devote readers of these laws, and hence Atlas charges again, trying to gore the carpet once more, and consequently tear at it with a horizontal swing of his flail. Regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, he will try to continue his charge, reach the door, and bash it. He had half a mind to return upstairs, to grab his holy symbol, so that Maban may fully be with him for whatever may come, but he desided against it. He can always use the brazier as a holy symbol, should Drindin's hatefull relative turn out to not be the only dead hazard lying within these walls. {{OOC: It'll be a cool surprise if the door is animated too; Or if it's a mimic. :smirk:Then we can get us an animated gazebo to fight}}
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-05-04, 10:43 PM	(Angua not Anguna) Angua springs off the wall, only to get caught by the rest of carpet, she gets thrown off the wall, but not across the hall, just to the other wall. she looks more dazed then anything else, but she looks annoyed, and leaps on the carpet, and starts using her larger claws to hurt the carpet as best she can. though she is still unsure of how you kill a carpet. "DIE YOU ZUT THING!!!!! HOW IN DEATH CAN YOU POSSIBLY STILL FUNCTION!!!!!!!!" she tries to pin it down, and slash like she did when she attacked the organ. (how do our attacks work? i am leaving it open so you can tell me what happens.)
Drindin 03-06-04, 12:14 AM	After a few slashes, and another pounding from the mace... the carpet finally unravels. Kulideb's swings also help in the destruction of the beastial rug. As Atlas approaches the door, he feels a tingling up his spine. A strange tingling... very nerve wracking. And just as he gets close to the door... the impossible happens. Materializing before you is... none other than the grey-skinned fiend himself, with his elongated skull and revelaed grey-matter... is the brain man. With his black hollow eyes, long spindly arms and legs, and his mischevious grin, he observes the party. "I, my friends, am the brain-man / And before this door you can pass / a simple riddle I must ask. / But some simple questions three, / And then this passage I shall leave to thee." ((Hehe... any one from my Ever Burning Flame adventure should recognize this guardian of mine. Very popular is he with me.))
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-06-04, 12:48 AM	"Get on with it, you grey, freakish thing, give us the question! unless you have already given it to us"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-06-04, 01:27 PM	Atlas snorts at the undead-looking thing with greate anger. "What!?! If you've any honor - step aside. If you serve or side the lich - admit it, and fall!"
kulideb 03-06-04, 02:41 PM	The elf stoped slashing at the carpet and looked at the thing that had appeared in front of her. She held her sword ready but the creature just seemed to want an answer to a few riddles. "Ask." she said to the Brain man.
Drindin 03-06-04, 02:56 PM	The brain man first looks at atlas. "I am servant to no one... and master to no one. This place is older than the temple which resides above it. It is a portal... most ancient and wonderful. To a world that is old and lost in time... tread upon only once by people of this place." "But, the old rotten-man comes through with a book, and a book he leaves beyond. I protect the place-with-no-name. Answer my riddles three... and this portal shall be yours to see." "A woman bears a great seven children, and half of this seven is boys. How is this possible?" "A boy visits a fair, and places a bet with a man for fiftee gold pieces. The boy had told the man "I bet you fiftee gold that I can write your weight on a piece of paper". The man had looked around, and seeing no scale, agreed on the bet. The man lost fiftee gold to the boy... how is this possible?" "You are in a race, and pass the person in second place. What place are you in now?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-06-04, 03:45 PM	"One of her children is Rraata-Satum, the ettin whose one head is good and one is evil, one is female, and the other male. The boy stole the man's coin-pouch, and I am now in the second place. Now let us in!"
Kel'Rea 03-06-04, 04:32 PM	The Brain man snapped his fingers, and atlas can't help but be completely incapabable of movement of any kind. "Not so fast, oh great tall, horned one. You have only one question correct, and that is the last one..." "The first of my questions remain unanswered, but the third is finished, and all of you have a chance to answer the questions correctly, except for the minotaur... his chance was taken and he got you one ward bypassed, but the first two remain. Who shall answer next?"
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-07-04, 06:07 PM	Angua "I will tell you the answers, for they are simple." "the first is that all the children are boys." "the second answer is quite simple too." "he literally writes, 'your weight' henceforth completing the bet." "the third answer was already stated as quite simply, as second place" "NOW LET ME PASS"
Drindin 03-07-04, 06:32 PM	The brain man grinned, and his brain seemed to pulse in utter joy as he opened the obsidian gates to reveal a plane soaked in red light, with large mushrooms as trees in several forests. "As you wish... Anguna..." He said. Atlas felt his muscles relax as they were released from whatever force held him, and Kulideb felt herself move forewards, as though something beconed her through...
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-08-04, 03:18 AM	Not expecting the sudden release, Atlas, who had been investing all the strength of both his will and his muscles in futile attempts to move, collapsed to the ground. He immidiately stood up, though, and turnd with a rageous saze at the brainman: "If we had time, lichloved one, you would lie to our feet now before long!" And with that he snored, and ran into the eery forest, looking around, and ready for an attack at any moment and from any direction.
Darkskies 03-08-04, 11:49 AM	((umm well I am a bit behind on this... )) Darkskies was knocked aginst the wall when the rug ran into him and knocked out, when he wakes he notices the others are going into a strange room and stands to persue. ((umm okay I will be keeping a close eye on the thread this time))
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-09-04, 08:16 AM	Angua stares for a moment at this strange man, and turns towards Atlas. "do you have an idea of what plane that is?" "it doesn't look very friendly" "you are the sort of, local expert on Deities, Demi-gods, and the planes" (OOC: ANGUA NOT ANGUNA!!! DO NOT TYPE THE SECOND N!!!! (THIS IS ONLY FOR DRINDIN/KRISSY) )
kulideb 03-09-04, 03:56 PM	The elf was glad the others had answered the riddles. The brain man declared that they had answered them correct and the elf felt herself move forward.
Drindin 03-09-04, 07:08 PM	The forest was bleak, and the whole plane silent... not but the adventurers footsteps was heard on the dirt-path. A strange call broke the air, and it was yelling something in goblin. <THE ONES SENT OF THE LICH HAVE ENTERED! THEY MUST BE STOPPED!> The voice called.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-09-04, 10:55 PM	Atlas shrugged. "I heard a goblin, and this isn't Acheron. We're still material."
kulideb 03-10-04, 03:31 PM	She put her sword away but bought her bow and set an arrow. She looked around at the sound of a voice shouting out. She was glad that Brad had stayed with Krissy at least they should be safe she thought. "I carn't pin point where the voice came from." she said in a low tone to the group.
Drindin 03-10-04, 07:06 PM	Suddenly, low grumblings are heard around the party... and the find themselves surrounded by strange goblins, with skin black as the night, and eyes as blue as an ocean. "GET THEM!" One yells out in common. Soon, all the black-goblins are on the party, yelling threats as they wave their primitive weapons in the air.
kulideb 03-11-04, 03:55 PM	Kulideb leveled her bow at the strange goblins but held her fire. They hadnt attacked them yet even though they looked pretty close to it.
Drindin 03-11-04, 06:00 PM	A fire ball shot out from behind the goblins, and at the besieged adventureres. Then the goblins were on them, seemingly unaffected by the flames, ripping and tearing as their teeth would let them
Darkskies 03-11-04, 08:00 PM	Darkskies and stunned slightly at the sudden attack and barely manages to draw his sword to parry any on coming attackes at him. As he is attack he stubbles back aginst a wall or even another goblin and regains his balance and begins his own attack on the foul creatures. "You slimmy little..." The rest of what he was going to say is cut off by a some what of a groul coming from him. "Just die..."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-12-04, 02:37 PM	The fireball reduced some of his fur to coals, but Athakus gritted his teeth {well, it's his usual condition, yeah} and stood, the flames hardly hurting him, but feeding his rage a great deal. With a mighty roar, he charged forward, perhaps goring some of the black goblins that would try to get in his way; they were not his target. His real enemy was beyond the little pests - the fireball's source. Atlas would keep charging untill he either reaches something that can appear to have casted the spell, at which point a flail swipe would follow against the foe, or untill he'd notice he had ran too far, and is losing his momentum.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-12-04, 02:44 PM	Angua get severely burned because of the fireball, and then responds by jumping over the masses of goblins, and to search out the caster, not wanting to have to face yet another fireball. She turns wolf to maximise her speed. preparing to jump over any attack that would come her way.
kulideb 03-12-04, 04:16 PM	Her bow would be no use in such close quaters. The elf slung it on her back and pulled out her sword. Muttering a few elven words she began to slash and parry.
Drindin 03-12-04, 06:47 PM	One of the goblins, whom has a small book around his neck, stabs up at Kulideb with his spear, while three others hack at her with short swords. Angua and Atlas find the source of the fireballs, a large mushroom with a wand of fireball sticking out if it's side, which seems to be sapping energy from the fungal tree, before it fires off another fireball, towards just those two this time. Darkskies also finds himself surrounded by goblins, all whom flail and stab at him with spears.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-13-04, 08:04 AM	Atlas, naturally, completes his charge, leaping at the fungus, striking it with his flail and hornsö even if the next fireball will strike him streight, the leap should provide enough dead weight to break the mushroom-tree.
Drindin 03-13-04, 11:06 AM	The mushroom falls apart almost too easily... But then, one of the mushrooms suddenly has legs, and arms, and eyes.... And then another one... and yet another one. Atlas has this sick feelingin in his stomach that this could take a while...
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-13-04, 11:35 AM	Angua shouts out "myconids! we mean you no harm." she quickly switches to her human form, considering that she looked like a wolf. "we will leave now, this was all an accident" "do you know of these, black skinned creatures? do they mean us ill, or the servants of the lich ill?" her next comment was directed at Atlas "you killed one of them! you could have just disarmed it, but noooo, you had to smash it to bits!" she then mumbles about "typical for a non-evil minotaur" and "I had hoped he would be smarter" She waits, completely disarmed for the myconid answer, knowing they are a peaceful people.
Drindin 03-13-04, 11:40 AM	The brain man materializes ontop of one of the non-animated mushrooms. "I'm sure you would've figured it out by now... this place is topsy turvey... these aren't the peaceful myconids you think they are, Angua." Suddenly one of the myconids drones something. "Must.... feed...." It groans, as it moves towards Angua, arms outstretched. The others drone something along those lines, and Angua finds herself surrounded by three of them, and atlas has four to deal with.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-13-04, 02:41 PM	"There is time for peace, wolf-woman, and time for war!" With that Atlas bends, and while grabbing the rod with his left hand, spins the flail with his right, hoping to hit all four miconoids, who would probably lean forward to reach him, as he bent, and then meet his flail.
Drindin 03-14-04, 01:10 AM	The myconids around Atlas have considerable chunks removed from them, but that doesn't stall them at all, and one of them opens a toothy maw, and attempts to clamp it down around Atlas' horned head.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-14-04, 07:02 AM	Atlas doesn't fully avoid the bite, provoking the myconid to lock its teeth around the back of his neck. Whern it does so, Atlas streightens sharply, hoping to impale the monster on his horns and throw him up, then follows by another wide swipe, though this time his pose doesn't allow him to strike more than two of the other miconids. "Angua! Reach the Mastermind! I will deal with the shrooms!" Atlas obviously doesn't accept the Brainman's "just-a-game" atitude, and sees him as theyr current main problem. He keeps his attention on the mushrooms, however, and prepares to stop his breath once they'll let he spores fly; last time he fought such things he had to be carried away by gnomes, and took days to recover from the combination of naucia, "high", lythurgy, and other efects caused to him by the miconids' reproductive mechanisms.
kulideb 03-14-04, 08:06 AM	The elf kicked out at the midsection of one of the goblins, while shoving the hilt of her sword into the face of another. But it was the one with the spear that intrested her the most.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-14-04, 10:54 AM	Angua turns to hybrid form, and smiles in a slightly sadistic fashion. "all right then!" she leaps on the first one, slashing at it furiously, holding off the others with various movements, using the myconid she is on as a sheild. "What mastermind? I thought the 'master mind' was the lich!" (are there any trees around, or something tall and long? that is at least 10 feet high with a reasonable flattish surface?)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-14-04, 11:09 AM	"The riddler!" Knowing he himself is unlikely to draw any use from the wand, Atlas hurls the deamn thing to the direction he cam from, hoping Kulideb or Darkskies would see it flyng, pick it up, and be able to use it against the goblins that surround them.
Drindin 03-14-04, 06:06 PM	((Sorry, SOM, but there are not flat surfaces. Just mushrooms, both animate and inanimate.)) The Myconid was unable to avoid the horns of the Minotaur, and fell as it's cap was removed by the force of the large, pale, bones. The Myconids around Angua began to fall, as chunks of them were torn away. But the Myconid she stood on began to flail about, red spores falling from it's cap, filling the air around and above it. (stun spores) The goblin with Kulideb got a big sword through it's face, and the speared one took it's chance in Kulidebs distraction, hurling it's spear at her stomach.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-14-04, 10:23 PM	Angua holds her breath, but she still gets the spores through her furred over skin. Paralysis sinks in, and eventually she stiffens up, but not before she makes a couple of quick slashes making quick work of the myconid. "The Brain man is nigh omnipotent! besides, he is relevatively harmless, as long as you don't really tick him off." "look what he did to you, when you answered wrong." "he can do that any time, NOW HELP ME BEFORE I GET EATEN ALIVE!" (approximately how many Myconids are there? just the ones that are attacking us, or more?)
Drindin 03-14-04, 10:29 PM	((Just the ones attacking you)) The brain man claps his hands in joy as Angua yells. "Hmm... most perceptive, are ye. Very intelligent and informed, as well."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-15-04, 09:25 AM	As he was ready to brace himself against te spores, Atlas now holds his breat, swings his flail over is head, and lays its spiked ball ontop of the sporing shroom. Regardless of whether this succeeds or not, his next action will be to catch Angua across the waste, and run with her to safe distance, in the directiopn OPOSIT to the one where they left the black goblins. A merely tactical retreat, ofcourse: he knows the miconids are slower than him, and wants to give the lycanthrope a chance to clear its system fo the spores, so that she may return to melee. If he manages to take her to safe distance, he charges back towards teh myconids, and will try to hold them back, untill either Angua recovers, or he himself inhales spores and falls as well.
kulideb 03-17-04, 03:51 AM	The elf saw the spear coming towards her, she dived to the side. The spear missed impaling her but still badly grazed her side. The elf set off after the goblin who had thrown it, she made a grab at the chain round his neck with one hand while trying to hack at the creature with her sword.
Drindin 03-17-04, 10:00 PM	The goblins suddenly shriek the moment Kulideb gets her hands on the Phylactery, and begin to scatter. The mushrooms suddenly turn into regular mushrooms, all their mouths disappearing, and the brain man begins to clap his hands joyfuly. "Oooh! You are all so very good at this! That there that young Kulideb has is a most well-deserved prize! NOW QUICKLY! DRINDIN HAS SLAIN THE LICH! IT IS TIME TO FINISH THIS JOB!"
Darkskies 03-17-04, 10:54 PM	Darkskies arches a brow at teh scattering goblins, "Umm was it something I said?"
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-18-04, 06:18 PM	Angua slowly recovers, her body unstiffening. she gets up, and says "Let's go find the lich's phlactery" "now that the Myconids, and goblin...things are defeated." she sniffs the air, searching for the distinct smell of Undeath. she quickly looks around, and changes to human form. she asks of the brain man "can you happen to tell me which direction, or at what co-ordinates the lich's phlactery is?" " I suppose you will probably make me answer a riddle, or not tell me, but it is worth asking nontheless."
Drindin 03-18-04, 06:38 PM	The brain man chuckles. "It is in the possession of an elf near here, in the direction from whence ye came!" The brain man points towards where the goblins seem to be fleeing from.
kulideb 03-19-04, 03:39 AM	The elf looked at the book in her hand, but did not open it. "Now thats odd." she muttered at the backs of the fleeing creatures. She picked up the wand that Lord Atlas had thrown and made her way towards the rest of the group. She looked at the brain man, then at the book in her hand, "Drindin has defeated him? I guess we have to destroy this this book, but I would rather Drindin saw it first. errr...how do we get back?"
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-19-04, 07:20 AM	"right...I was actually surprised by that answer" "the book? I suppose. Let's just try and destroy it." as she said this her body made a now familar change, becoming partially wolf-like, and partially human. "please, hand over the book, so I can destroy it." "if I can't destroy it, let us wait a day. for it has been a long one." "or we could let atlas do it."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-19-04, 03:50 PM	When the myconids became inanimate, Atlas rushed to the aid of those who were fighting the goblins, but these were gone as well. He found it very hard to contain his rage at the creature who thought it was all a game, and would attack the Brainman, inspite of such a fight's hopelessness, if it wasn't for the book. He threw down his backpack, and produced a bronce portable brazier, decorated with mabanite symbols. He opened it, and started humming a prayer in a very low voice, that even sounded good; a fire appeared in the brazzier gradually, and when his prayer brought it to its peak, he turned to the others. He only nodded, not saying anything - insicating that he is ready, and shouldt he lyanthrope fail, he will gladly sacrifice the phylatery to Maban, as his war against evil - and undeath - forever enjoys the god's patronage and glorification.
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-20-04, 01:05 AM	Angua took the book in one hand, slowly lifting it aloft. testing with her claws to see if it would scratch, she then took the book, and flung it high into the air. near the peak of it's flight, she leapt aloft, jumping above the book, using her claws, her weight, and the impact to bore the book into shreds of paper and dust. "Be destroyed you Evil thing, let your darkness never cloud the light of Sardiorian moon! May the light of the Ruby Dragon forever burn your descration away!" with this a soft internal light of ruby colour shone through her, empowering her briefly with Saridor's power, if simply to help the cause of a dragon-friend, and a mind master.
Drindin 03-20-04, 01:26 AM	The book is destroyed, and the brain man shrieks in absolute glee at this display of great strategy and team work. Suddenly, a door leading into the lower floors of the desecrated temple. "BE QUICK, COMPANIONS! YOUR FRIEND-GHOSTS TIME IS SOON UP! MAKE HASTE FOR HIM!"
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-20-04, 05:20 PM	Angua dashes to the door, making quick haste, hoping to make a glimpse of Drindin, if only because he is a ghost, and she likes his niece. her eyes flash a familiar glow, she then makes greater haste then before.
kulideb 03-20-04, 05:25 PM	The elf hated to see a book being destroyed, loss of a book ment loss of knowledge, so she was glad when Angua took the book from her and then destroyed it. She snaped out of her thoughts on books at the Brain mans words. She dashed after Angua, she felt that she had let Drindin down before when he had died and all she had been able to do was hold his hand, she wouldnt let him down again!
Drindin 03-20-04, 08:45 PM	Getting to Drindin was easy, when found, his ghost touch sword was at his feet, and he seemed to be staring at something not their, the lich's body crumbled on the ground. "So then... it is done." He says quietly. "And so is my time on this plane. At last, I can have one final rest..." Drindin looks at the returning adventurers. "My final time has come, I shall be leaving soon... tell Krissy I loved her. And tell Agudo what has happened, for me... will you?"
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-21-04, 10:05 AM	"Though I do not know who this "Adugo" is I will pass the message to your niece." "Goodbye, spirit, may your soul pass quickly through the gates of Death unto it's final resting place"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-21-04, 02:20 PM	Atlas was wquick enough to gather his things, and reach the level where the two undead had finished theyr battle. His voice has more emotion than one would assume it can support: "I will. May Maban's calygraphy praise your life and death, lord Drindin." The minotaur bows to the ghost, and starts humming a prayer for safe passage to the afterlife, in his own native tongue.
Drindin 03-21-04, 10:20 PM	Drindin looks into the abyss... The robes around his feet seem to be caught by some kind of a current... drindin holds out his arms, and as though caught by a sudden undercurrent... falls and disappears... Krissy runs in, and sees her uncle go under... "UNCLE DRINDIN!" She hollers, running towards his form just as it disappears. She falls to her knees and begins crying. A dark cloud passes over the sky... And he is gone.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-21-04, 11:14 PM	Atlas kneels by the girl's side, and pets her head, offering simpathy - in his own way - and the closest thing to comforting one could expect from a minotaur: "He loves you. So much that he even stated it. You will be the sequel to his heroism, Krissy."
Sliver_Over_Mind 03-22-04, 09:03 AM	Angua walks quietly up, and says, "good-bye Krissy, I hope your Uncle's spirit will go quickly beyond the final gate, unto his resting place" "when the time comes for you too to go, follow the river, let it's current take you, It's the only way to find peace" with this sad last saying, she gives a small crystal to Krissy and says "whisper into it when you need my help. I will never be far behind" "your uncle loved you, Love is something to be saved" she then seemingly disappears, one minute there, the other completely gone.
kulideb 03-22-04, 03:50 PM	The elf took a hold of Krissys hand. "You know you are always welcome at back at the Inn." She gazed at where Drindin had stood and sighed, 'I'll tell Agudo' she whispered.
Darkskies 03-22-04, 06:03 PM	Darkskies walks past the others and waits outside the temple, a bit discusted by the emotions floating about. "I will be waiting outside."
Drindin 04-01-04, 02:31 AM	Krissy sniffled a bit, and finally rose... "Let... let's go to... Agudo's..." Krissy stumbled out of the decayed, cursed temple, holding onto Atlas to try and keep her tiny form from falling.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 04-02-04, 06:04 AM	Atlas supports the girl, leading her out of the temple. On his way, he takes his quillike staff - the holy symbol of Maban - out of the stony pile that was not long ago Erythnull's altar. Coming out of the now disaltarified temple, he helps Krissy to mount Bytopymabasd, whose head is now lowered in something like a grieving gesture. The minotaur taps on the horse's back, and it starts walking by his side. "Let us leave. This place will soon collapse. A monument to the glory of those who were here today." He starts walking in the direction of Agudo's school, with the celestial steed carrying Krissy by his side, and the others hopefully too.
kulideb 04-03-04, 03:08 AM	((Kuli is already at the school, well Hillsfar in the middle of a war!))
Drindin 04-03-04, 04:53 PM	((of which I'm aware. Here's the deal: )) Kulideb had gone a few weeks ahead of the rest of the party, via... something or other (I'll leave that upto you). However, Krissy, Atlas, Angua, and Bytopimbasd (and darkskies, if he wants) decided to take their time, mostly due to Krissy, whom looked like she could definatley use some time in the woods to recover her spirits and her will to live. Decidedly, Kulideb split from the party a ways back, at a crossroads. The path that Atlas, Krissy, Bytopimbasd, Angua, and possibly Darkskies take leads off to a wide plains, filled with possibilities for adventure. The path Kuli takes leads directly to the school. Thus, the second wave of our adventure begins... ((Sorry for having to hijack your character for this Kuli and Atlas! If you don't like what I've done, just tell me and I'll change it!))
