Nugan 06-17-03, 06:29 PM	Located on the plane of *****, but easily accesable from Juxta via portal, this is the home of the thieves guild Apathy. The small wooden outer door looks like it was once locked, but the lock has since been smashed by some visitor. It opens to a large, well lit, room which looks to be on the clean side (although there's discarded papers here and there). In the center of the room in a long, marble-topped, rectangular wooden table. Along the long sides of the table are a number of silk-backed armchairs, each one with an Apathy member's name embroidered into it. At each shorter end sits two similar chairs, the names "Biantium Wrenloft" and "NamelessOne" are embroidered on the ones on the end near the doorway, while the ones on the far end bear the names "Straak" and "Nugan Wracod". At one side of the room is a large wooden tackboard with a number of small pieces of parchment pinned to it. ((If you wish to use our message boards, they have a seperate site (see below), so post messages there. This topic is for Role-Playing.)) At the back wall is a deactivated portal with a sign reading "Trophy Room" above it. Next to the portal is what looks to be a keyhole. The left wall contains several doors leading to temporary member quarters with a sign reading "We are not a Boarding House. Don't abuse your guild priviledges!" hanging above them. ((If you have no idea what Apathy is, you can find our webpage here: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/fogofpking/apathy/hall.html ))
Felicity_Rauston 06-18-03, 02:58 PM	Felicity comes out of her room with a backpack slung over her shoulder and two heavy draw-string bags. Each bag is overflowing with a tangle of miscellaneous junk (clothes, gadgets, candles, etc.). "Well, I'm moving out!" she announces to the world. "You should be glad." She then proceeds to head over to her namesake chair and flops down with her bags.
Nugan 06-18-03, 03:00 PM	((Picking up right where we left off)) Nugan smirks and turns back to Felicity. "Come on Flick, its not that bad... We'll leave a window open or something... and burn you sheets... and... ugh..."
Nugan 06-18-03, 03:04 PM	((Looks like we posted at just about exactly the same time)) Nugan shrugs and sinks back into his chair. "Good luck Flick... Maybe someone here could exort low rent out of someone for you or something..." Nugan turns to Hermit. "And no this doesn't mean your moving in..."
Felicity_Rauston 06-18-03, 03:06 PM	"Now that I think of it... ew, what if he went through my clothes?" She begins pulling fabric out of her draw-string bags and piling it up beside her. "Don't worry, I've got a place lined up. Nice little apartment space. There's even sunlight!"
Old_Hermit 06-18-03, 11:18 PM	The old one places his face in his hads and makes sobing noises "They grow up and move out way to fast!" suddenly stops and looks up at flick. "So about that dinner..."
Nugan 06-19-03, 03:57 PM	Nugan smirks and turns to Felicity. "Yes, what anout that diner? Come on, wouldn't want to let poor Gramps down..." Nugan leans closer to Felicity and whispers. "Sorry about that, but this is looking to hold the pontential for better entertainment than the time Straak feel down the tower stairs..."
Felicity_Rauston 06-19-03, 08:02 PM	"Dinner? DINNER? Excuse me? I'm having dinner with my girlfriend!" She turns to give Nugan the evil eye, then throws a stretchy brown scarf at the old hermit. "There's your dinner!"
Old_Hermit 06-20-03, 01:27 AM	the old man catches an knaws on it a bit, then looks at her. "Ick.. tis the worst food you've gave me yet!" he then begins to entertain himself with it and how strechy it is "well on the up side of things, its my favorite color. Oh! I get it you tricky youth you.. this is your way of giving me something to wear when i finaly get to meet your friend! Thank you so much." He turns and faces nugan " She always was a sweet and thoughtful little one." smiles and wraps the scarf around the neck part his hood. "whut do you think, arnt i dashing :cool: . I realy do need to keep up with the trends today. Well when are we going to see your friend grand-daughter?" more smiles
Nugan 06-20-03, 01:32 AM	Nugan holds up a hand to stiffle his laughter and turns to Felicity. "Well... She has to meet your family at some point, right?" Nugan breaks down and begins laughing, collapsing backwards into his chair.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 06-20-03, 01:34 AM	Athnar chuckles at this whole thing " Yes flick, when will you introduce you dear grandfather to your "freind", im sure he would love to know of your relationship together" Asthnar laughs abit more befor standing from 'his' chair "well all, i take my leave now" with a last chuckle he fades from view
Felicity_Rauston 06-20-03, 03:19 PM	Felicity, curiously enough, doesn't appear to be handling this too well. "Wait. Grandfather? Are you joking? I know who my grandparents are, thank you very much. And you are not coming with me to a romantic candlelight dinner with Argentia!" She points angrily at the hermit. "Get outta here! Scram! Or I'll hurl a fireball at you! And--ew, I'll never get a brown scarf again!"
Old_Hermit 06-20-03, 09:06 PM	"Well i should hope you know who i am. And as for meeting with your friend, well harumph.. some nerve.. i can understand this time, but it likely wont happen untill the wedding!" "Fireball? Fireball!" the old one laughs "You know good and well a fireball is no worry for me. You've been rather moody theis last few days. Well then. I know that when my own grand-daughter cant stand to se me no more, tis time to leave this realm" at this he breaks down to tears " So fare well life, grand-daughter, Her friends, and freinds i've never met. Farewell!" The old one falls to the floor where he lays still for a few moments before his body fades away, leaving the rest of his stuff on the ground. If looked through or moved, a small drawing of flick when she was young can be found. Other than that, theres nothing of value unless you like tatterd brown robes.
Nugan 06-20-03, 11:08 PM	Nugan sighs and shakes his head. "Well, that was something... And he had to leave all of his trash behind too... And Straak's not here..." Nugan reaches into his robes and removes a pair of gloves. After slipping them onto his hands, he moves over to Hermit's stuff and begins picking it up. When he has about an armful of the old man's belongings, he comes upon the picture, and drops everything on the floor befores shooting up and staring at it for a momment. "What the.... Damn, our elderly friend is sicker than we thought..." Nugan shivers and walks over to a wash basin, running water over his hands and face. "No way am I touching any more of that freak's stuff... I'm waiting for Straak..."
Straak 06-22-03, 09:42 PM	Straak knocks on the door and then opens it and steps inside. "Yah boss... Tha door's, ya know, not fixed yet... I still gotta..." Straak stops mid-sentence and looks at the pile of trash on the floor. "Uhh.... What, yah know, happened here?"
Nugan 06-24-03, 11:57 PM	((I'm inserting another time lapse here. A week has passed. )) Its nearing midnight and the guildhall is desserted.
Straak 06-25-03, 12:05 AM	Straak hurries into the Guildhall, not bothering to close the door or comment on the still broken lock. He hold Nugan's staff in one hand and mutters to himself. "Boss... I wish I... Ya know... knew what to do..." Straak removes a key from his pocket, sticks it in the keyhole next to the Trophy Room's portal and turns it. After wating for the portal to activate he steps inside and vanishes for a few momments. Straak emerges from the portal without Nugan's staff and moves over to the tackboard. He juts a hurried note down and pins it up. Then he stops and begins staring aimlessly at Nugan's chair.
Old_Hermit 06-25-03, 05:48 AM	the old hermit (with new torn brown robes and a cane that looks like its a branch fresh off an oak tree) steps out of the portal after straak, then streches and yawns "Trophy cases arn't very comfortable at all" He walks to a chair and sits
Straak 06-25-03, 02:24 PM	Straak seems unphased by his companion. Instead he stares at Nugan's chair for several more momments before turning to address the hermit. "Tha boss... They... Yah... He's gone... I..." Straak holds his mouth open for a few more seconds, trying to manage a few more words. After a momment he accepts failure and sinks into his chair with a sigh.
frost_dagger 06-25-03, 05:04 PM	http://www.freewebs.com/sivex/sou2avatar.GIF Sivex returns to the guildhall after a tenday of absence, playfully tapping the flat of the blade of his katana on his shoulder as he enters. " Tadaima! " the lad cheerfully greets them. " Eh? Mister Straak? Excuse me but where's the re --- " His eyes gaze upon the old hermit. " You.. " The young swordsman firmly grips the weapon's hilt.
Old_Hermit 06-25-03, 08:23 PM	The old one looks over his shoulder and around the room, looking as if he has no clue who sivex is talking to.
frost_dagger 06-25-03, 11:05 PM	http://www.freewebs.com/sivex/sou2avatar.GIF With a single fluid motion, the guild messenger slides the sword back into its scabbard. " You... are new here, Am I correct sir? " He gives the old hermit a warm smile. Fixing his eyes on the old man, he asked Straak: " Mister Straak, I wish to see Mister Nugan. Now. "
Straak 06-25-03, 11:36 PM	Straak spins to look at Sivex and stares blankly at him for a momment before opening his mouth to reply. "Yah... I can't get tha boss... He's... They took him..." Straak trails off and gestures towards the note that he put up on the tackboard, his eyes fixing on the table in front of him sadly.
Old_Hermit 06-26-03, 12:07 AM	"New here?? Whats that suposed to mean?? Shesh.. Sometimes i wonder if all that ive done for you people has gone unnoticed." the old hermit breaks down and sobs for a bit, then stops abruptly. He then stands and walks to straak. "oh by the way, ive been wandering around for hours and cant find a kitchen.. Do you people even have one??"
frost_dagger 06-26-03, 06:35 PM	http://www.freewebs.com/sivex/sou2avatar.GIF The young swordsman calmly steps to the tackboard, silently digesting all the information of Straak's note. Despite the startling discovery, Sivex remains smiling as he's always been. He turns to the old hermit. " Forgive my ignorance, good sir. It is simply that I do not recall you therefore I do not recognize your accomplishments for the guild. I meant no disrespect, however. " He continues " And you're this Fre-dre-gar, I pressume? "
Old_Hermit 06-26-03, 09:47 PM	at the name the old one beams with joy "Ahhh There you would be corect young warroir... Fredregar Alkazar, known sage of lands and realms alike. I am known mostly for my work on the elementalist arts along with Sir Tremelen Felsar, high priest of he elementalist way. Now then. Perhaps thers something you can add about yourself? ive heard rather little about you.. and perhaps you have some info we can use about Nugans disaperance.."
Nugan 06-27-03, 01:53 AM	((Another two days have passed. Its once again sometime in the late night hours.)) The guildhall sits deserted. The table is covered with papers pertaining to Nugan and his past along with notes taken by Straak. Several empty coffe mugs sit next to the papers.
Nugan 06-27-03, 02:09 AM	A man wearing red and white robes pushes open the guildhall door and steps inside. He shakes his head and smirks at the broken lock before moving to the center of the room. The robed man draws a dagger and moves to NamelessOne's chair. He plunges the dagger into the chair and cuts it open before reaching inside and removing most of the stuffing and strewing it across the floor. He than moves on to each chair in turn, doing the same to it. Finally he arrives at Nugan's chair, instead of simply tearing it open he cuts out a piece of the fabric in the shape of a warhammer with Nugan's name at the center of hammer's top. He then tears out the stuffing as he did with the other chair before taking the warhammer-shaped piece of fabric and pining it to the wall with his dagger. The man then raises his hands and mummbles a few words while making gestures. He watches as flames sping from the tabletop and then dissipates, burning many of the paper's strew on it, and leaving the image of a Warhammer over a Balance burned into the surface. Finally the man reaches into his robes and withdraws a piece of parchment which he pins to the tackboard. After he has finished this, he turns and walks out of the guildhall, leaving the door ajar behind him. ((Note: The tackboard message can be found, as always, on our message boards))
Old_Hermit 06-27-03, 02:22 AM	the old hermit crawls out from under the table whilest the robed figure was doing his work. He streches and yawns , then nods hello to the strange person ripping everything up. He makes no move to stop the creature, but instead looks over his robes. he chants a few words to himself and his ratty brown ones, change to look like the ones the man is wearing. Happy with his new outfit he walks out of the room, coming back after the rest of the mans bissnes is done with a glass of water which he drinks halfway befor setting it on the ground and crawling back to his pile of cloths under the table that he uses as a bed.
Straak 06-27-03, 02:31 AM	Straak sulks into the Guildhall, not seeming to notice that the door is open. He reaches into a pocket for a pencil to resume his work and looks up. His pencil drops from his hand and he stares, mouth agape. "Wha... I... Ya... How?" Straak survey the damage slowly before turning to the Hermit. "Yah... I think ya might not be, ya know, responsible this time..."
Old_Hermit 06-27-03, 12:04 PM	the old one seems confuzed " Im not recponcible for what? " he looks around " ohh, the redecorating? i dont know.. i rather like it, how muched it cost to get that guy to do it for you?" at that, the old one tells straak of what had happend the night before
Nocturan Deadfall 06-29-03, 08:22 PM	A loud thud of feet on ground is audible within. The sound of strange metals grating together and the rushing sound of vented steam follow shortly after. The eight foot tall stitched together lizardman steps into view within the doorway, the metallic claws and mechanical implants clearly visible across his strange blend of lizardfolk and fiendish flesh. He moves with an unusually steady gate for his construct like appearance. He glances around the Guidlhall. "Ahh, good to be back. Time to ...." He blinks a few times as he sees the shredded seats and stuffing strewn about. "Oh. Looks like someone beat me to it." He smirks darkly, his yellow eyes flaring green-black for a moment as he leans back against the wall, looking around. "Eh, Straak'll clean it up, then I'll trash it again. Business as usual."
Old_Hermit 06-29-03, 08:29 PM	The old man in his new red and white robes practically squeals out loud at the site of the strange creature. He reaches into his robes and withdraws a quill and a notepad of parchment along with some ink. He dips his pen as he runs to the creature and once there begins walking around it mumbling as he writes furiously.
Nocturan Deadfall 06-30-03, 02:06 AM	He snorts as he glances at the old man circling him. Eyeing him for a moment, then smirks as a set of metal wings sprout from his shoulders and flap violently a few times, sending powerful gusts of air in all directions as he glares at the hermit. "Who in the Nine Hells are you?" He continues to stare down at the hermit as he awaits an answer.
Straak 06-30-03, 03:01 AM	Straak turns to Nocturan and stares blankly at him for awhile before he says anything. "Yah... Hello Nocturan... I don't have any time for, ya know, cleaning now... Tha boss has ta be found..." Straak turns and takes a step towards the table and examines the symbol for a second before blinking and glancing back at Nocturan. "Wait... Didn't ya... Ya know... Quit? And did ya just say something bout trashing tha place?"
Old_Hermit 06-30-03, 07:41 AM	the old man's jaw dropped when the wings unfolded and surely he would have wrote more down .... but the gusts of wind blew his papers away and him into a pile of chair fluff which was relocated from by the table to the wall. The old one lay dazed for a bit before jumping to his feet and rushing back to where he was and proudly announces " I am the great sage Fredregar Alkazar, Super genius!! and you my lizard of scale mail are simply amazing! A golem is simple in comparison to you.. and likely half as powerful I'm sure. The wings.. the mechanics... the grindy noises!!" Big smiles here
frost_dagger 06-30-03, 04:20 PM	http://www.freewebs.com/sivex/sou2avatar.GIF Sivex casually enters the guildhall, and wearing what he considers his deadliest mask. A smile. He scans the place, slowly from the chairs to the parchment to the floor, quietly constructing his own conclusion before facing Nocturan. Sivex humbly bows to the towering lizardman from a safe distance, the fierce wind blowing his hair. " Ah, Mister Nocturan. So kind of you to visit us. I must say, you look as formidable as ever. And... eh? What is this? Are you responsible for --- *shakes his head* Oh no. Of course not. If it were the mighty Nocturan, this place would've crumbled to dust by now. " The young man turns his gaze to the old hermit, then back to Nocturan. " I see that you've met Flick's great grandfather. "
Nocturan Deadfall 06-30-03, 07:45 PM	Smirks at Straak. "Greetings Straak. Yeah, I did quit, yeah I did just say I was going to trash the place." He glances at the Hermit, snorting again sarcastically. "Sure thing. Yeah, see I'm gonna call you Fred. And yes, I am far different from a golem, but that is no conern of yours unless you get in my way." He looks toward Sivex, letting out a hoarse, metallic chuckle. "Flick's... great... grandfather..." Bursts out laughing. "Of course, I should've guessed." His chuckling ends as he blinks suddenly and turns back to Straak. "What'd you say about 'Tha Boss' being missing? Did somebody finally catch the blasted weasel?"
Old_Hermit 07-01-03, 01:58 AM	:confused: the old one ponders for a moment before saying "whos flick?? i dont know any flick..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-01-03, 01:16 PM	The illithid Fades in by the enterance in his useual manner he speaks with telepathy "My my.. what has happend here.. oh well.." Asthnar looks over the lizard "I dont belive weve ever met.. but ive herd of you.. it was to my knowledge that you had left the servise of Nugan, yet here you are.. i can assume you did this?" the illithid looks over sivex and nods a hello his gaze fall upon the table and the hermits outfit " right.. "
Felicity_Rauston 07-02-03, 01:05 PM	Felicity comes into the guildhall, looking quite pleased with herself. She glances around, surprised. "Who killed the upholstery? And did they kill my chair, too? Dang. That was one neat chair." She adds, after a pause, "Where's Nugan? Isn't he back yet?"
frost_dagger 07-02-03, 06:16 PM	http://www.freewebs.com/sivex/sou2avatar.GIF The lad greets Asthnar and Felicity with a welcoming smile. " Ah. Most excellent. I've been waiting for the two of you. How did the journey to the Underdark went? You carry with you the drow poison I've requested, ne? Yes. Yes of course. You do look slightly pale, Miss Rauston. The mission was a success, obviously. Let me guess...a group of kobolds, couple of giant vermins and perhaps a few teleporting spiders? " Sivex laughs softly then claps twice, dismissing the thought. " Time to get a little more serious. " The young swordsman moves to the tackboard and examines the parchment and dagger. " Oh great. We're up against fanatics. The worst kind. "
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-03-03, 12:12 AM	Whats this flick? That many days ago and you still havent given sivex his whatever it was we went for?
Felicity_Rauston 07-03-03, 10:46 AM	Felicity looks sheepish. "Oh yeah. Forgot." She digs into her pockets and pulls out a small jar of Khaless. "I did give the other stuff to you already, neh?"
frost_dagger 07-03-03, 05:14 PM	Sivex nods to Felicity. " Hai. Please keep that vial for now. There are more important matters at hand. " The young man waits for the rest to speak their mind about this incident.
Old_Hermit 07-03-03, 07:22 PM	the old one recounts what he saw and knows
Felicity_Rauston 07-05-03, 07:55 PM	"Okay... so what? I'll go look around and see if anyone knows about that warhammer-balance symbol and the Evenhands. Yah know." ((Nugan: Time Lapse, please!))
Old_Hermit 07-05-03, 08:25 PM	(( yah nugan, whats this i hear everything was resolved last night!? :'( i knew i shouldent have been playin d2...Damn it! .. oh well.. Tell Us what happend!!))
Nugan 07-05-03, 11:08 PM	((No worries, I was planning to put a time lapse in today, but I didn't get around to it until now. Anyway, several days have gone by while Straak & Co. searched for Nugan. I'm going to set the new time at earlier this afternoon.)) Its mid-afternoon and the Guildhall is once again abandoned. Books and paper are still strew across the table and all of the damage following the vandalism is still present.
Nugan 07-05-03, 11:12 PM	Nugan steps up to the Guildhall's door and reaches for the doorknob. He sighs as it swings open on its own accord and steps inside. "So we're not even closing the door now, are we?" Nugan blinks as he sees the state of the Guildhall before begining to smirk. "Oh right... I remember doing this..."
Straak 07-05-03, 11:20 PM	Straak steps in behind Nugan. "Yah boss, ya kinda, ya know, messed things up pretty nicely..." Straak looks up at his Boss and examines the look on his face before sighing. "Yah... I'll go get a needle and some, ya know, thread... and some wood polish or something..." Straak turns and rushes into one of the abandoned member quarters and can be heard rummaging around.
Old_Hermit 07-06-03, 01:17 AM	the old one emerges from a pile of chair stuffings and runs to nugan where he gives him a great big hug. "Grandson! the umm.. thingy" looks at straak " found you! i thought you were lost to me! Waahhh! Whatd ya bring me?..." :rolleyes:
Felicity_Rauston 07-06-03, 12:17 PM	Felicity looks up from the novel that she is currently reading, sitting on her slashed up chair. "Hey, look who's back! Guess I didn't have to spend those half-hours pestering Mister Silk for information about the Evenhands. Bloody waste of time." As Straak goes past her to rummage in someone's room, she taps him by the shoulder and whispers: "So, do we have to kill him or not?"
Nugan 07-06-03, 11:13 PM	Nugan raises his hand to wave to Felicity, but pauses as he's caught off gaurd by the hermit's hug. "Hello Flick, I... Upm... What the... Oh... Hello 'Gramps'... Don't worry, I got you a nice big box of... Get your old person stench away from me before I have Straak drag you outside to end your days making your senile mummblings in a ditch..." Nugan smirks and pulls away. "Sorry buout that Hermit... Guess I'm still a bit annoyed by the whole week of brainwashing and torture thing..."
Straak 07-06-03, 11:19 PM	Straak emerges from the room with an armful of tools and cleaning supplies. He shakes his head to Felicity. "Nah Flick... Tha boss is fine now... Just alittle, ya know, cranky..." Straak drops the supplies on the floor and riffles through them before emerging with a needle and thread. He thread the needle and walks over to Nugan's chair which he begins to repair.
Old_Hermit 07-07-03, 01:14 AM	seems not to hear nugan as he just stands there in front of him with a cloudy look in his eyes. after a moment of standing there he wanders off to straak where he begins to summon forth new materials for chairs. He then directs the materias and they form themselves together. He creats 5 chairs in this way, and leaves pleanty of left over materials
Felicity_Rauston 07-07-03, 03:18 PM	Felicity watches all this, unimpressed. "Right. So if we're not killing Nugan, then when are we going to exact revenge? What in the Nine Hells have the Evenhands got against ya, anyway?" She yawns. "Anyone got grapes? I'm hungry."
Old_Hermit 07-07-03, 03:22 PM	The old one rumages around in his pocket and produces some slightly squashed green grapes which he offers to flick with a smile
Felicity_Rauston 07-08-03, 06:54 PM	Felicity looks at the slightly squashed green grapes, dubious. "Ehh... I'll pass."
Old_Hermit 07-08-03, 08:32 PM	the old one shrugs and replaces them in his pocket " your loss.."
frost_dagger 07-09-03, 05:08 PM	Sivex walks in (smiling, as usual), a bit surprised to see Nugan. The young swordsman politely nods to the guildmaster. " Ah. Welcome back, Mister Nugan sir. We've worked very hard to keep this place clean and tidy during your absence. See? " Sivex chuckles at the irony of his claim, then moves to one of the magically created chairs. He nods to Felicity and the old hermit before taking his seat. Sitting comfortably, the lad turns to Straak. " So, do we have to kill him or not? "
Old_Hermit 07-09-03, 07:20 PM	the old one smiles at sivex and offers him the grapes he had offered flick.
Felicity_Rauston 07-09-03, 09:09 PM	Felicity nudges Sivex and whispers: "I already asked that question. Apparently not. Alas." She lounges in her chair, then stretches languidly. "So. Any new daring deeds and twisted plots to accomplish? Or are we going to kick back and enjoy the lovely view of the wall?"
Nugan 07-10-03, 02:39 AM	Nugan nods to Sivex then turns to Flick with a smirk. "I'm thinking the wall..." Nugan spots the piece of fabrice with his name on it that's pinned to the wall and rips it down. "And it just got less interesting..." Nugan moves to one of the new chairs and slumps into it before looking up at the others. "Honestly though, any ideas?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-10-03, 11:55 AM	Felicity yawns. "One. We could go after the Evenhands and wreak bloody vengeance--except the 'bloody' part might be problematic. Two. We could steal a bunch of stuff and irk another group of people. Three. We could go taunt a couple of goody-good paladins. That's always fun, until you get to the part where they try to kill you. Four. Giving me a treasure chest full of platinum pieces is always a valid option. Money agrees with me."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-10-03, 01:39 PM	a familiar voice sounds in those here's minds Mass destruction is always fun.. might get a bite to eat in the prosess. Asthnar fades into view leaning against the wall next to the main enterance
frost_dagger 07-10-03, 05:43 PM	Sivex shrugs, takes the grapes and plops one into his mouth. " Hmm... a little sour, but its okay. " Grinning childishly, the young swordsman regards the illithid. " Hungry, Mister Asthnar sir? You need not kill to fill your hunger, good mindflayer. Here. Have some grapes instead. " Yet his mind speaks differently: " When shall we strike? "
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-10-03, 08:04 PM	seems a bit shocked at sivex Well well... That was unexpected.. ah i shoul've known, a thief whos always smiling and cloaked in mystery.. Asthnar gives of feelings of laughter i think i'll pass on the grapes..
Nugan 07-11-03, 03:18 AM	Nugan smirks. "I'd be up for wreaking bloody revenge on the Evendhands, but... I'm thinking that at this point only Biantium would be up to that... Considering that they are all dead. I'm liking the 'steal a bunch of stuff' option though. We haven't really been doing our job as a thieves guild recently... Maybe its time for one big job... Any targets to suggest?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-11-03, 11:46 AM	She glances over her shoulder for a brief moment. "Some rich fellow? Or a group, like the Marshals. They got anything worth taking? What about the, um, Moonsheen Adepts? Or whatever they are. Anyone will do, really." She absently ponders the ethics of this for approximately three seconds, then shrugs, thinking, "Hey, so long as I don't do the actual stealing..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-11-03, 12:34 PM	the MoonBeam adepts.. i wouldent suggest that, the marshals.. bah that would be a waist of time, but id much enjoy annoying Reesa abit more.. theyv been working on making it tougher for me to eat ;'( Asthnar gurgly chuckles he then thinks to flick Hmmm... Whats this? Interesting sentiments, but why would you, the thief responcible for most of this guilds income, think such things? and then to sivex Are you serius about the mass destruction? Heh heh heh, that would be entertaining ..
Nugan 07-12-03, 02:21 PM	Nugan furrows his brow. "Hmm... I don't know, the Marshals must be sitting on a pretty nice pile of money. I mean, I've yet to see a government that hasn't extorted its citizens, and look how rich the average Juxtan citizen is.. The question is, what do they do with all of it?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-12-03, 06:03 PM	Felicity's face twitches in response to Asthnar's telepathy. "Leave me alone, can't cha?" She looks to Nugan. "What they do with it? Who knows? Sit on it. Swim in it--ouch! Stash it in the Tower. Disperse it to beggars. One of the four." She grins, enthused. "Let's do it!"
Nugan 07-12-03, 08:23 PM	Nugan smirks. "Well then, its just a matter of figuring the 'wheres' and 'hows' of it..." ((Ok everyone, this looks like it could be an interesting plot idea. I would, of course, have to check with the WizOs before I did anything. First, I want to hear what you guys think about it, and what ideas you may have to build on it. So send me an email, or an MSN PM (check my profile), or post something on the boards with your opinions or ideas.))
Sharp 07-13-03, 12:44 AM	"Excuse me!" came a high pitched (though not annoyingly so) yell. It was a gesture of good will she figured, to announce that she was present before she overheard any of their conversation. A halfling stands in the doorway. She is wearing a black cloth tunic and pants and a worn leather sack strapped to her back. To all appearances she carries nothing else. She has dark hair tied in a high ponytail on the backof her head. Small dark dark eyes regard those present from a shrewd looking small, fine featured face. "I open "puzzleboxes" for a livin," she said quite unsubtly flipping a very well made lock pick in her hand. "...been out of work a month now. Fellow outside, told me this is the place where "poor" folk like me find work in these parts."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 01:01 AM	Asthnar the Mindflayer looks over the creature who just enterd next to him as he is leaning against the wall next to said door
Nugan 07-13-03, 01:17 AM	Nugan stops what he was saying and looks up at Sharp. "Hello... And you're not misinformed. Come on in... Oh and don't bother try to lock the door... There's something wrong with it. So, what else did you hear?" Nugan gestures for Sharp to take a seat in one of the mended chairs.
Sharp 07-13-03, 01:45 AM	"Wha'd I hear? Not more than I asked to. Lazy of me, I know. " She made a dissmissinve gesture as she spoke. "So, what's cooking?" She asked making her way to the proffered chair.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 01:53 AM	Asthnar watches the halfling with interest
Nugan 07-13-03, 02:05 AM	Nugan nods. "So, you want in then? Why not... We were just talking about the Marshels... And how much extorted money they probably have stored away... And how nice it would be to get our hands on it..."
Sharp 07-13-03, 02:22 AM	"How much you talkin'?" She asked, the tone sounding a little odd comning from tiny halfling.
Nugan 07-13-03, 02:26 AM	Nugan smirks. "I'm not sure... But if we look at others government's histories of extortion and couple it with how much money the average Juxtan is holding... I'd say... a lot."
Sharp 07-13-03, 02:36 AM	"A bad government? Allright. I'll bite." She was grinning. "What's the plan?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 03:18 AM	Laughs Nugan and plan dont often go side by side ponders for a moment What was the last plan that apathy did.. Hmm, i dont recall a single one
Felicity_Rauston 07-13-03, 12:36 PM	Felicity glances askance at the halfling. She shrugs and picks up her book again to read, muttering: "The grapes are cooking... a little sour, though."
Nugan 07-13-03, 12:58 PM	Nugan puts on a face of mock hurt. "Really Asthnar...That cuts deep..." Nugan chuckles and then turns to address the others. "But a good point... We're going to actually have to put in some work to pull this off..." ((There's a thread up on this on our message boards. Please check it out and leave a reply, if only to say you're interested in helping. You can get to the message boards through the links section of our main site, and the link in my signature leads to the main site.))
Sharp 07-13-03, 02:43 PM	A fleeting exprssion of concern crossed her face. "Right," she muttered pretty much out of habit. "I'm Sharp," she said to all assembled. "What'll I be callin you?" ((What links would these be and how does one access them? I did not see it on the main apathy site. ))
Nugan 07-13-03, 02:55 PM	Nugan extends his hand with a smirk. "Name's Nugan... The kolbold that's mending the furniture is Straak... The somewhat too polite young man is Sivex... The.. err.. Mindflayer is Astnar... And the woman who too good for slightly squashed grapes is Flick..." Nugan gestures to Old Hermit. "And if you have any idea who he is... Please let me know..." ((Scratch my last comment, I've moved the storyline discusion to a thread on these boards. You can find it here: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=735725#post735725 ))
Sharp 07-13-03, 03:17 PM	She looked around as Nugan spoke matching names to faces. Her expression grew a little nervous as she glanced at the Illithid, but forced worry quickly out of her head. She smirked a bit a Nugan's last remark. "No idea...so...you in charge here?" She asked Nugan. "And how do things generally work...y'know who does what...how we communitcate? ...when we get payed..."
Felicity_Rauston 07-13-03, 05:00 PM	Felicity looks up in surprise. "Oh, we're getting paid? About bloody time, I should think." She rolls her eyes. "If you want me to get some stuff for the heist, tell me ahead of time. Like, telepathy mugs or whatever. And can I do the bribing? That's fun."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 06:34 PM	Now now Nugan.. You refer to me as if i were a member of this "guild" if you could call it so. And as for you Sharp.. Worried? good then.. i would love nothing more than to eat or enslave you.. For the moment however i will not.. Nugans guild here is rather pathetic as is, oh yes they claim many members but onley around five of them has anything to do with him. (( Heh heh, sorry nugan, tis asthnars mind not my own, and Sharp if you have an msn mssger, feel free to add me if it pleases you to do so: nalden1@msn.com))
Old_Hermit 07-13-03, 06:44 PM	the old hermit was asleep but wakes up "Huh What.. oh right.. Silly Grandson Nugan, always fooling around" he chuckles then stands from his pile of chair fluff then walks to the last empty chair where he sits and smiles at Sharp "ohhh your the cutest little gnome ive ever seen!" more smiles as the zoned out old hermit looks around the room
Sharp 07-13-03, 08:44 PM	She was shaking Nugan's hand...then getting to ready to open her mouth to protest about paying...and then she heard Asthnar's message. "Why thank you," she said to him, unable to help the sarcasm. "I appreciate not being eaten at the present time." Gnome... She bristled. But then she saw his expression...and sighed, an indulgent smile settleing on her features. "Thank you." She said actually suceeding in not setting her teeth as she spoke. And with that, she looked back at Nugan, waiting for his answer. ((Now you did that on purpose didn't ya? :D Oh I am working on gettign MSN at present. Thanks! :) I'll keep that in mind.))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 08:51 PM	You'd best watch your mouth or your carcass will turn up in the Fountain of the emporium! (( again, im just playing the character ^_^ ))
Nugan 07-13-03, 08:55 PM	Nugan returns the handshake and chuckles at the others. "You get paid by the job... We also award a premium to anyone who provides something for the trophy case...I think Flick here might be paying her rent off of those, judging by the number of items she brought in... Other than that, we provide temporary housing for those members who need it..." Nugan gestures to the doors of the members quarters. "Over there... But remember I said temporary... Some of our members seem to have a problem with that..." Nugan turns to the Hermit with a smirk. "Isn't that right Gramps?" ((Edit: My MSN name is under "Yahoo Messanger" in my profile. As always, anyone who wants to add me can. It takes a lot to really scare/bother me...))
Old_Hermit 07-13-03, 08:58 PM	the old one seems not to have heard that.
Felicity_Rauston 07-13-03, 09:40 PM	Felicity protests. "Hey! I moved out already. Can't hold it against me."
Sharp 07-13-03, 10:08 PM	She glanced sideways at the Illithid, not doubting his claim for an instant. She nodded, hearing only bits of Nugans answer but having no plans to admit that fact. "So," she said with a smile that was a tad more nervous than friendly. "What next?"
Old_Hermit 07-13-03, 10:47 PM	(( BTW, you can download and use msn mssger here http://messenger.msn.com/download/v6preview.asp?client=1 ))
Nugan 07-13-03, 10:53 PM	Nugan sinks backwards into his chair. "Good question..." Nugan turns to the others in the room. "Flick, how hard do you think it would be to scrounge up some info on The Tower of Evendil's security system? ... Asthnar, do you think you could manage to entice someone close to one of the Marshals to give up some tidbits? ... Sharp and Sivex, anything you two could find out would be nice as well..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 11:00 PM	Asthnar makes his gurgly chuckle I supose i could.
Sharp 07-13-03, 11:16 PM	Sharp shrugged. "I am not sure what I can "find out". I am no smooth talker. I do hiding, not talking. Not being seen, that is my specialty. When you have a way to get into theis tower, I volunteer to do it. " She grinned. "They will never know I was there." She looked around at them...all except Asthnar, whom she was trying very hard not to look at. "Meanwhile, if there is anything or anyone you think needs watching without anyone knowing about it, anything you need stolen before the job, or just anyone you want me to poltergeist...just ask."
Nugan 07-13-03, 11:22 PM	Nugan nods. "Well, you could always camp out in front of the Tower of Evendil and see who and what comes and goes and how they do it... Might be good to keep an eye out for any chests or the sort going in as well..."
Sharp 07-13-03, 11:28 PM	It was her turn to nod. ...As my noble employer commands... "I'll l leave as soon as the planning is ended."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 07-13-03, 11:29 PM	A tall woman with gray colored skin dressed in white robes shuffles into the room, dragging a dead body behind her. Biantium dusts herself off and waves to Nugan "I've brought a friend...i hope thats ok *points to the soiled corpse of a middle aged human man*....I had interc...err, i mean...i'm taking tissue samples from him..for expirements." Biantium glances around shifty eyed, then looks down at the corpse and pulls it hastily over to an empty corner before heading towards the other Guildhall inhabitants.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-13-03, 11:32 PM	Asthnar just blinks... Did you do anything to the brain?
Nugan 07-13-03, 11:37 PM	Nugan nods to Biantium with a smirk. "Hello Biantium... Guess you're not big on keeping your work and your personal life seperate, are you?" Nugan gestures from Biantium to Sharp and back again. "Biantium, this is Sharp... She's new... Sharp, this is Biantium... She's basically second-in-command... Oh and... err... She's a little... ummm... well..." Nugan trails off.
Sharp 07-14-03, 12:01 AM	Sharp shook her head. There were many things she did not understand, a fact for which she was usually eternally greatful. "Anymore skeletons in your closets waiting to be introduced?" She asked Nugan.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-14-03, 12:06 AM	Asthnar inspects the body and decideds its alright, he then begins the gory feat of eating
Nugan 07-14-03, 12:38 AM	Nugan smirks. "You have no idea... but none of the other ones are... quite like Biantium..." Nugan glances over at Asthnar and winces. "Could you do that somewhere else... Or atleast not make slurping noises..."
Felicity_Rauston 07-14-03, 12:44 PM	Felicity makes a face as Asthnar and Biantium deal with the corpse, staring at the wall. "Can anyone else say, 'Ewwww'?" She pauses and flashes a smile. "I'll go rub up some Marshal or someone who knows the security. Can't be too hard. How many of 'em are there, anyway?"
Nugan 07-14-03, 05:21 PM	Nugan nods to Felicity. "Maybe you could find out where the money is likely to be kept as well... We can't say for sure who's holding on to it... Maybe they have a safe or something hiden somewhere outside of Evendill to make it less suspect... Of course, they could also just have it lying around in heaps in the tower... Rich tyrants do that sometimes... You never know..." Nugan turns to Asthnar and smirks. "Enjoying yourself, I hope..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-14-03, 05:49 PM	The large lizardman walks back toward the guidlhall, accompanied by the faint sound of scraping metal and venting steam. A loud clang is heard as his claw blades extend just before he reaches the door. He reaches out and scrapes the main doors with the razor sharp tips of the blades, then pushes the door inward forcefully. He glances around, the loud clang being heard once more as the claw blades retract onto his forearm and he ducks down to step through the doorway. "Well, well, well. Looks like quite the weasel gathering is in progress...." He glances at Sharp, having to glance far down from his eight foot frame, and smirks. "What's this? The littlest weasel?" He glances around for Straak and chuckles. "Oh right, that title is already claimed by the kobold, my mistake. So, what in the Nine Hells has brought so many of you to the same place at the same time?"
frost_dagger 07-14-03, 05:57 PM	Sivex has been silent since the halfling's arrival, his wary eyes studying her with suspicion. The lad decides to know more about their new recruit, and so he stands up and moves closer to the small rogue, offering a handshake. " Well met, Miss Sharp ma'am. It is an honor working with someone of your expertise. And with that, I give you my sword. Er.. no. I didnt mean this...my real....ah, nevermind. And please pardon the menacing lizardman. Mister Nocturan simply wants to destroy this place, that's all. " He glances at gruesome display of the mindflayer, then back to Sharp. Smiling. " Hungry? There's plenty more grapes... " (( Just dropped by. Gotta run now. See you later guys. )):)
Nugan 07-14-03, 06:31 PM	Nugan turns to the doorway as Nocturan enters. "Hello... Oh, its you... Just a second, Straak should be done cleaning up soon. Then you can start..." Nugan smirks. "So... How you been Noc?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-14-03, 06:32 PM	Asthnar finishes up and stands. He turns to face the group Well.. i supose ill be on my way.. with that he fades from view
Nocturan Deadfall 07-14-03, 07:14 PM	Smirks at Nugan. "Oh, I've been just fine. A stitch here, a graft there. New arms. Nothing out of the ordinary." He gestures back over his shoulder toward the doors with a sneer, popping his neck with a metallic sound, followed by a plume of steam vented through his throat. "You really should get that lock fixed, not much fun to break the door down when it just swings open like that."
Old_Hermit 07-14-03, 07:30 PM	was sitting quietly when he noticed something "Wait.. you said some of our members have a problem with the temporary in the room and board.. not that i heard that.. umm the Illithid told me.. well anyways.. then you made it clear that was directed to me... so you mean you accept me as a member with your friends! Ohh... *tears up* You DO like meeee! and you think im up to date enough to join your friends!!! im so hapy" :D "err i mean" :cool:
Nugan 07-14-03, 07:58 PM	Nugan smirks at Nocturan. "I know, I know... I'm so sorry I deprived you of a dramatic entrance like that... Atleast you got to do the blade thing, right?" Nugan turns to Hermit still smirking. "Don't worry Gramps... You've never been more with the times..."
Sharp 07-14-03, 08:20 PM	At first she set to thanking the gods that even though there were more skeletons none of them were quite as...nauseating... and then... She looked up at the large lizard man Maybe not yuckier...but bigger... She heard his remark and nastier too... An equally nasty retort was on the edge of her tongue, when the ratehr shrewd looking young man..the one Nugan had called overly polite... stepped out of the shadows and greeted her. She shook his hand trying hard not to think about what words exactly he was stumling over,a nd even harder not to notice the giant lizard man...which was somehow making him all the more noticable. Somehow she was also managing a smile. "No thank you," she said to the offer of grapes. "Yes..." she said remembering her manners. "A pleasure...Mr?" She watched the oyung man expectantly.
Felicity_Rauston 07-14-03, 09:25 PM	Felicity says absently, "He's Sivex. Sivex, go introduce yourself." She stands up and heads for the clawed door, slipping out. "Time to go bribe some Marshals. Ta."
Old_Hermit 07-14-03, 11:05 PM	"Glad to see someones eating those grapes.. they were gittin a bit old in my pocket" more smiles.. alot like sivex, but insane.. then again
Nugan 07-15-03, 01:35 PM	Nugan raises his hand in a half-wave to Felicity as she leaves. "Good luck Flick." Nugan shoots Old Hermit a smirk. "Hey Gramps, can I see those grapes..." ((I'm thinking a time-lapse will be necessary soon, so you may want to starting wrapping up a little.))
Nugan 07-16-03, 05:21 PM	((I guess there wasn't much that needed wrapping up, since there hasn't been a post in a little while. Ok, its now three days later.)) Its late afternoon and the Guildhall is looking much better than it had earlier. Straak has just finished the last of the repairs following the vandalism. The Guildhall now looks like it originally did. The lock is still broken.
Old_Hermit 07-16-03, 05:42 PM	the old hermit walks from flicks old room to the guildhall. He looks to see if any are here befor floping into a chair
Felicity_Rauston 07-16-03, 08:58 PM	Felicity walks in, pleased with herself. She looks around, refusing to dwell on what exactly has happened to her old room. "Where's Nugan? I've some information about the Tower of Evengill."
Nugan 07-16-03, 09:22 PM	Nugan steps into the Guildhall from the front door, wearing ao old-looking pair of glooves. He removes the gloves and sets them on rthe table before slumping into his chair. "Hello Flick. I was just getting rid of those grapes... Would you believe that, after asking people for three days, I finally had to do it myself... Anyway, what's this about Evengill?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-16-03, 10:26 PM	The large lizardman walks back up to the doors, ducking through as the doors swing open. He glances around and smirks, holding some form of satchel in his right hand. "Since you lazy oafs aren't going to fix that lock so that it can be broken properly, I decided to fix it myself. I'll be outside if anyone feels like bothering me, and getting injured in the process." He walks back out, pulling a lock out of the satchel, as well as new bolts and such to attach the lock with. He sets to work on repairing the door.
Old_Hermit 07-16-03, 10:39 PM	the old one points to nugan after hes done speaking "There he Is" :P
Nugan 07-16-03, 11:33 PM	Nugan blinks and looks to Nocturan. "Ummm... Thanks..." Nugan lowers his voice and looks to the Hermit. "Watch him Gramps... Make sure his 'lock' doesn't involve a torch or any black powders..."
Old_Hermit 07-16-03, 11:49 PM	"Eh.. Ok.. wait.. that would onvolve being out there with him.. he said he'd injur ... oh well" walks to the door, then becomes semi translucent and walks through the door
Nocturan Deadfall 07-17-03, 12:39 AM	Begins repairing the lock by removing the old one. A claw blade extends down with a loud metallic clang that echos through the door itself. Raising his fist upward, he drives it back down with a punch, ripping the old lock completely out of place. He then opens up the satchel, pulling out a few boards, which he uses to repair the door itself, creating a sturdy platform for the new lock to be placed upon. Just as he is about to place the new lock, he sees the semi translucent hermit come through the door. He blinks, and, claw blade still extended, aims a full force punch just a few inches over the hermit's head, driving the blades through the door, purposely missing the hermit. Inside, the claw blades are seen tearing through the door, sticking out well over six inches into the room. The sight is accompanied by a loud noise, the impact of the punch echoing through the room. Back outside, he glances down at the hermit, venting steam through his throat as he cracks his neck joints. "What in the Nine Hells do you want little man?" His eyes alight with dark green fire as he speaks, he await the hermit's answer, lock held in his hand that isn't embedded in the door.
Nugan 07-17-03, 01:24 AM	Nugan winces as the blade pierces the door. "Good luck Gramps..."
Old_Hermit 07-17-03, 03:19 AM	"friendly as ever" ^_^ the hermit doesnt stop walking as he turns to the left, 1/2 of his semi translucent body passing through Noccy with a cold sensation, and flops to the ground where he sits crossleged to watch. he looks as if he felt rather safe and happy until he became solid again .:eek: ... he eeped and darted to the wall next to him that he franticaly tried to climb.. over all faling.
Felicity_Rauston 07-17-03, 12:04 PM	Felicity slouches, looking insolently at Nugan. "First, why don't you tell me why you happened to overlook telling me about Kat's message? Huh?"
Nugan 07-17-03, 12:10 PM	Nugan furrows his brow for a momment and then he smirks. "Oh yeah Flick... Kat was looking for you or something..." ((Ugh, I actualy did forget about that. Maybe it has something to do with me being distracted by someone stalking me right after I got the message. ;) ))
Felicity_Rauston 07-17-03, 07:06 PM	(( Yeah yeah yeah... )) Felicity shrugs, rolling her eyes. "Sure, sure, whatever. Here's the scoop. I was talking to one of the Marshals, Lady Reesa Oryon, and she said a few things. The most important thing was that many of the Marshals have rooms in the Tower of Evengill, and some of them have windows. Windows are good; very, very good. "Anyway, the rest is that usually, only Marshals work in the tower, no Adepts or any such. If you want a vendor's license you go the Mayor's house, which is not the Tower, so that won't work. Reesa Oryon has a room there, but she doesn't occupy it. Empty room. See? Also, it overlooks the city, so we have a very vague idea of its location--somewhere in the middle to top of the tower. "What else? Here's my plan. We go in at night, or in broad daylight, whichever works. Get through one of the windows to Reesa Oryon's room, go down, raid the place, walk out through the front door. Sound good?"
Nugan 07-17-03, 07:59 PM	Nugan nods. "Sounds like a plan Flick... Do we know whether or not they have gaurds outside the tower? How about overly nosey nieghbors?" ((Ok, I'm gethering up the emails I've recieved with the emails I already have, and preparing a mailing list. However, I still haven't heard from Sharp or JeaJea's players and I don't have any contact info for them. Other than them, I think I have everyone else's email addys.))
Nocturan Deadfall 07-17-03, 08:15 PM	Shudders as the hermit passes through him, pulling back the fist that struck the door, ripping the blades out. He glances through the fresh holes in the door, his eyes flaring as he looks directly at Nugan. "I'm fixing your damn door, I suggest you not send old 'Gramps' out here to bother me. Unless Straak likes cleaning up the blood of the elderly that is." Smirks as he says those last words, then moves back from the door, glaring at the hermit as he takes a step towards him. The second set of claw blades extend with another loud clang and he pops his neck, venting steam through his throat vents. As he sees the hermit fall trying to climb the wall, he smirks maliciously. His wings stretch out backward from the containing mechanisms on his back and he lunges forward. The mandible-like jaws opening wide, creating six sets of visible teeth as he snarls, releasing a roar akin to that of a bull crocodile. He pulls the lunge back just before he would reach the hermit, smirking again as his claws retract and he resumes fixing the lock on the door, muttering to himself under his breath. "I quit the damn guild and here I am fixing their blasted doors.... And putting up with the interruptions of that damn old guy.... lousy primates...."
Old_Hermit 07-17-03, 11:19 PM	the old one had simpley curled up into a tight little ball and quivered. after Noc was done bein scary he sat up and got his wits about him. He slowly stood and walked to the door, staying as far as he could and still touch it. he murmerd some words and placed a palm on the door, then jumped back where he was. The holes in the wood save for the lock's grew shut as if new. the old one smiled as pleasant as he could, still shaking
Nugan 07-17-03, 11:48 PM	Nugan winces as hear overhears the screams and crashes outside. "Looks like that's it for Gramps... Well, that's a shame..." Nugan shrugs and casually turns back to Felicity. "So, what were you saying?"
Old_Hermit 07-17-03, 11:54 PM	the old one, after steping back, murmers a little more and once again becomes semi-translucent. in this state he does his best to slip by Noc and through the door. he rushes back to the others and becomes solid again behind nugans chair which he promptly kicks over. he re-takes his chair with a smile :rolleyes:
Nugan 07-18-03, 12:45 AM	Nugan tumbles out of the chair and onto the floor, hitting his head on the table in the process. "Ugh, what the..." Nugan pulls himself to his seat and spots the Hermit in his chair. He smirks and turns to the door. "You know what Noc? I think I may have a more rewarding job for you than fixing that door..."
Old_Hermit 07-18-03, 01:01 AM	the old one smiles "ohh, you dont meen that dearest grandson"
Nugan 07-18-03, 01:20 AM	Nugan sighs and shrugs. "Well Gramps, lets just see how dear I am to you if you don't get out of my chair in ten seconds..." Nugan begins counting on his hand. "1...2...3...4...5...6" ((I just got the last email addy that I needed, so everyone involved in the plot should expect a mass-email sometime tommorrow afternoon/night.))
Old_Hermit 07-18-03, 01:30 AM	(( heh, by re-takes his chair i ment OH took the chair he WAS in befor he went outside.. but i'll go with it )) the old one eeps and hops back into "his" chair with a smile
Nocturan Deadfall 07-18-03, 06:32 AM	Eyes the hermit calously as he fixes the gash in the door, his gaze fixed on him as he passes back inside, then mutters. "Yeah, that's right you damn wrinkly old weasel, get out of my sight.... lousy primates, it's as if they have nothing better to do than bother me while I fix the danm lock to this rathole of a guildhall.... and I don't even work here anymore...." He blinks as he hears Nugan mentioning a job for him, then smirks as he pulls the doors open with a strange cracking noise, and lowers his head down to peer inside. "A job? You lazy buffoons didn't have any jobs for me to do except fight those damn people you made enemies of with that smart mouth of yours Nugan. What in the Nine Hells makes you think I'd be interested in doing anything for you now?" He blinks a few times and looks to the door where he was repairing the lock. The wood having broken away and the iron itself damaged beyond repair. He growls a very evil sounding noise, that would be an unutterable word in Abyssal, then mutters in simple common. "Damnit...." He flings the doors open, nearly ripping them off the hinges, and walks inside, pulling out a random empty chair and dropping into it, causing the wood to creak slightly beneath his near 1,000 pound body mass. He rests his elbows on the table and glares at Nugan. "You had to buy the cheap doors, didn't you? You walk around with a damn platinum staff, but can't buy a door that can hold a simple, steel lock, can you? Stingy oaf."
Nugan 07-18-03, 01:59 PM	Nugan drops back into his chair and opens his mouth to say something to the Hermit when Nocturan barges inside. He winces and turns nervously towards Nocturan before regaining control of himself and smirking. "Did you really expect anything else Noc? Those boards were abandoned by a lumber merchant in the Juxtan marketplace if I remember correctly.... I've been wondering what was wrong with them..."
Felicity_Rauston 07-18-03, 02:04 PM	Felicity quirks a brow. "Guards? I doubt it. They don't seem overly concerned with security. Don't know much about neighbours. I have to scope it out, the actual physical place. It's beside the Quartz River, though, so we could always just sail a dinghy in the middle of the night or something."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-18-03, 05:32 PM	Shakes his head in annoyance. "I'll tell you what weasel, I'll repair the doors, even use something called an actual door to do so. But, my only fee on this one is that you keep the old guy out of my way." He glares at the hermit as he says this, then looks back to Nugan. "Make no mistake, I still hate every one of you blasted primates, but it just isn't worth ripping doors down when they fall off on their own volition. So, do we have a deal?"
Manger Corelus 07-18-03, 07:39 PM	Manger tramped irritably up the hill to stare at the guildhall. Growling, he raked at his armpit. "Is Nugan still hanging out in this dump?" He rummages through some of his side pouches until he produces a mangled piece of parchment. He squints at it for a moment over his long nose. "Obviously. This is the address he gave me. Of course, with that lousy monkey's sloppy hand writting, I could end up at the harbor in Waterdeep," he muttered this all sourly to himself as he stomped vicously down the hill toward the door. Glancing at the door, he smirks nastily. "It looks like he's been keeping up on his chores. There's no ivy hanging from it this time." Manger kicks the door in with one solid blow from his stumpy foot and marches in, leaving it hanging on a single, rusty hinge. He grunts, looking about and scratching his belly. "Well?" He asks, his beady eyes on Nugan. "What remarkable stupidity that flew from your mouth has gotten you in trouble this time?"
Nugan 07-18-03, 09:37 PM	((Actually, the guildhall was only constructed recently, so the hinges wouldn't be rusted yet, but kicking the door open is fine.)) Nugan looks up and sighs. "Hello? Oh Manger... Its... well... I won't say a pleasure... Anyway, why don't you take a seat? We were just in the middle of something that we could use your help with..." Nugan turns to Felicity. "So Flick, you were saying there wouldn't be much in the way of guards? Well then, I guess its just a matter of getting in... You mentioned boating down the river... Think there would be a drainage tunnel or something underneather the tower? Or would that be asking for too much..."
Old_Hermit 07-18-03, 10:35 PM	:confused: "why you hate me meca-lizard? I like you.. why" :bigeyes:
Manger Corelus 07-19-03, 01:27 AM	Manger quirks a dirty brow and marches to a chair, which he throws his flabby mass into with a grunt. "What is it?"
Nugan 07-19-03, 01:43 AM	Nugan smirks. "Oh nothing really... Being an incompetant thief and all, I'm sure its not anything worth wasting your precious time on... I mean, its not like I'm ripping someone off for six platinum on a suit of armor... No, no... We're just going to... steal thousands of gold pieces from under the Marshals noses... That's all... so you might as well pack up and head back to your little pawn shop or whatever..." Nugan slumps backwards into his chair with a self-assured smile when he finishes.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-19-03, 06:41 PM	Shoots a glance at the hermit and begins to rise from his seat. "I hate everyone, and everything, get used to it." He looks toward Nugan. "Well weasel boy? I reinforce the doors and locks, you keep the old guy out of my way. Do we have a deal?"
Nugan 07-19-03, 06:46 PM	Nugan shrugs. "I'll try... But he can get persistant... and I can get lazy... So, to answer your question: Probably not."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-19-03, 06:57 PM	He shakes his head slightly and mutters to himself. "That's the problem with working for an archfiend who aims to bring the Armaggedon about.... It gets boring in the off-season...." He looks back to Nugan. "Ah hells, I'll fix the doors anyway, nothing better to do." He finishes getting up and walks out, flinging the doors wide once more, causing them to seem as if about to break off, though they remain attached. He heads out of sight, on the way to get door supplies.
Manger Corelus 07-19-03, 09:54 PM	Manger shoots a very flat, unfriendly stare at Nugan. "Nugan," he sneers. "you couldn't tell ten from a gold piece and a gold piece from a pebble. That's how severly limited your mind is. In fact, your intelligence ratio falls inbetween an ox and a stone!" He stops and muses to himself, "Which would explain your parentage.." Manger rakes at his armpit, his eyes dancing in thought. "How do you plan to go about this?"
Sharp 07-19-03, 10:15 PM	The door bangs open again and Sharp stumbles in muttering something about Nettles and Chokecherries...though by the tone she was obviously cursing...something. She staggered over to Nugan and the rest of the current assembly, a scowl upon her pale, pinched features. She was also breathing a little funny and clutching her side. "One thing is certain!" She announced in her rather absurd sounding halfling version of a voice raised in anger. "My going about this guilds haunts unseen is absolutely NOT an issue!"
Manger Corelus 07-19-03, 10:22 PM	Manger eyes Sharp for a minute, and then looks back to Nugan. "Does she do this often?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-19-03, 11:37 PM	Felicity glances at Sharp, quirking a brow but not commenting. She turns to Nugan. "Anyway, I didn't say there weren't going to be guards. Maybe lots of guards. I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm sure we can just boat our way to the tower and climb up to the window. I might, how tight can security get? By the way, I'm staying in the boat." She looks to Manger. "Yeah, Nugan's not very smart, is he? I mean, for a guild leader and all..."
Manger Corelus 07-19-03, 11:40 PM	He smirks. "You noticed," he remarks dryly.
Sharp 07-20-03, 12:04 AM	Sharp rolled her eyes at their not quite banter. "Let me worry about "security"," she told felicity through gritted teeth.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-20-03, 12:09 AM	Asthnar the Ilithid speaks in flicks mind " Interesting sentiments flick.. why tho? why is it you refuse to do anything against the marshals? ... perhaps you Are One Of Them ehh?... Asthnar fades in leaning against the wall that holds the door he makes sure to give a cold glare with a transmited feeling of a smirk to sharp
Nugan 07-20-03, 01:45 AM	Nugan opens his mouth to respond to Nocturan, but Manger speaks before he can address him. When Nugan turns to Manger, Sharp stumbles in and Nugan turns to regard her. Its at this point that Flick starts to speak. Finally Nugan slumps back in his chair and sighs, waiting for the conversations to break up around him. "Well, you guys seem to have this under control... I'd rather not have our boat shot up in the water by hundreds of guards though... Naybe its time to start thinking of a new plan... After all, how do we know the money is even being kept in the tower?" Nugan takes a breath before turning to Manger with a smirk. "Oh and you weren't too far off on my parents..."
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 07:48 AM	Manger's smirk is absolutely wolfish. "I thought that might be the case." The short, deformed man seems to think for a minute or two, his scar-plagued face contorted in concentration. He runs over all the ideas in his head before looking back down at Nugan and the rest. "How much attention does somebody pay to a deformed man?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-20-03, 01:49 PM	Felicity shrugs and nods to Sharp. "Sure, whatever." She purposely ignores Asthnar's thoughts, then turns to Nugan. "I don't know. Maybe it's not in the tower. Would make life easier. Maybe they move it somewhere. After all, how much money can a tower hold, anyway?" She flicks a glance at Manger. "In Juxta? Probably none. Juxta City is full of crazies and deformed psychos."
Nugan 07-20-03, 02:53 PM	Nugan nods to Felicity. "Yeah... I mean, besides the Marshals and Adepts, how mant people really know there way around Juxta? ... I know there are some citizens, but I imagine most of them make their money off irresponsible tourists in the marketplace anyway... So there's probably a pretty big chunk of the plane that people barely go to... In which case, why hide the funds you've extorted right in plain sight in the most obvious place...That doesn't bring us any closer to their location though..." Nugan turns to Manger and with a smirk. "Yeah, Flick's right. I'm thinking they're too distracted by the ten foot tall half-dragon man flying around breathing his rare 'plasma fire' and swearing to avenge his people or whatever..."
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 07:47 PM	Manger gives Nugan a preplexed frown. "Don't they have enough of those in the circus?" He shakes his head, scratching at his mud brown hair with a look of distast. "Well, considering the deformed aren't taken note of, and in my case they might be considered unintelligent, why don't I poke around a little? I can act like Nugan here and maybe be a little dumb-footed. I'll ask some of the Marshals some passing questions if I can manage it. That might be able to get you some answers." He glowers at them all in his usual, charming manner. "You all are pretty much known there in Juxta. I, on the other hand, am not. A few innocent questions for the sake of information won't cause them too much suspicion. What do you think?"
Nugan 07-20-03, 08:16 PM	Nugan nods to Manger. "Sounds good to me..." Nugan leans back in thought for a momment before turning to Old Hermit. "Oh and Gramps... You wouldn't think of making some senile comments that might give us away... Would you?" Nugan turns to the others and lowers his voice. "We might not want to take the chance..." Nugan turns back to Old Hermit. "I hear a secure case is the Trophy Room isn't really all that uncomfortable..."
Sharp 07-20-03, 08:30 PM	Sharp turned her scowl on felicity, but only for a moment. No plans...no respect...that means no team work...however does this guild make any money....oh wait a minute they dont! Her scowl had found it's way back to the not quite functioning door. Some theives guild... Her scowl left her as she finally found a semi comfortable leaning position...that and enough of her sourness to think. No respect for me, probably 'cause I'm new here...not wise...but hten if theives were wise they'd all be crime lords...or at least mercs..or... Thew words of the other theives had finally managed to penetrate her thoughts... "Wait a second," She said suddenly and loudly. "If you are going to ask questions in juxta, beware of the watchful few. Now admitedly there are few...but there are some in Juxta who sit and watch and more importantly, listen."
Nugan 07-20-03, 09:11 PM	Nugan turns to Sharp as she heads for the door. "Yes, I imagine we have to be careful... Wait, are you going somewhere?" Nugan pauses to think for a momment before recalling Sharp and Felicity conversation. He smirks. "Ahh... I get it now... Do we have a bit of a rivalry going on here?"
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:14 PM	The dwarfed man nods. "I know. That's why I'll be parading as a dimwit Nugan impersonator. " He frowns for a moment, then smirks a little. "As I stated before, the people on Juxta don't know me too well. I think I've got an idea, though." He places his beady eyes on the halfing who he's spoken to all along. "How many people know that you're in Nugan's guild? We might be able to throw them pretty well. All depending on your answer, of course."
Sharp 07-20-03, 09:17 PM	Rivalry!?...Bullfinches! She hadn't even thought of that, but there was another possible reason. "I...am not going anywhere just yet." She watched others leave. "Nugan," she sighed. "What is the most useful thing I can do for this particular job? If we are raiding a tower...eh that is my specialty...so all is good. If not...I meant what I said about people who listen...may I at least suggest another way of finding out where there marshals keep their hordes...other than "covertly" asking I mean."
Nugan 07-20-03, 09:24 PM	Nugan nods. "I'd say the best thing you can do right now is to go with Manger and see if you can find out where the Marshals are keeping the loot... In fact, Flick and/or Asthnar could join you as well in disguise or something... I'll, of course, be on the look out as well..." Nugan turns to Old Hermit. "There is, however, one tiny little hundred year-old loose end to tie up here first..."
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:25 PM	Manger continues to watch Sharp, waiting for an answer.
Sharp 07-20-03, 09:26 PM	"All right. I'll do a bit of ghosting...See you around, Nugan." ((edit)) She turned to Manger. "I'll be nearby, you just wont see me." With that, Sharp left the guildhall...with much to do, and even more to think about.
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:30 PM	Watching Sharp leave, Manger mutters a vile oath under his breath. "Nugan," he growls. "is anybody in this forsaken guild of yours not short of hearing? I actually had something worked out. Now I'll have to ask somebody else from this blasted guild to go along with my idea, which I'll explain as soon as I have somebody to work with."
Sharp 07-20-03, 09:32 PM	Sharp turns around in the doorway. "If any of you, other than Nugan would speak to me rather than over me, you might find my hearing improved!" She looked miffed, but did not go farther out the door.
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:36 PM	Manger growls. "Clean out your ears girl. There's something I'd like to have you do, if you wouldn't mind. I want you to go with me when I go to talk to the Marshals. If it's known that you're in Apathy, anyway. I want you to bully me at some part of the conversation. I know this all sounds childish, perhaps even stupid, but why point any suspicion on the guild when we can point it toward an ugly deformation that nobody will remember?"
Sharp 07-20-03, 09:38 PM	"Nobody knows I am in Apathy, least not by any mistake on my part. I just got here last week. Unless some other guild member's given me away..."
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:40 PM	He grunts sourly. "Well, go back to your ghosting, then." Manger casts her a small, almost encouraging nod before he turns to Nugan. "I need a bully."
Sharp 07-20-03, 09:42 PM	Well I tried... she thought as she returned to the act of leaving.
Nugan 07-20-03, 09:43 PM	Nugan smirks. "That's right, only I may order you around.... Yeah, I didn't even bwelieve that when I was saying it... Oh well, you atleast have to respect... Nevermind... At any rate, let's not bicker... I know a big ego kinda comes with the job, but come on people..." Nugan sighs to himself. "If I wanted to hear a fat man and two women bickering, I'd go back to the tower and listen my father, Nameless, and Straak..." Nugan turns to Manger with a smirk. "You need a bully? Now that's something... I'd say that sounds like at job for Asthnar... (added queitly) or my father... Nah, go with Asthnar..."
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:45 PM	The near-hunchback eyes Sharp. "Where do you think you're going? Get back here," he says gruffly. "We need everybody for this." Manger gives Nugan a dangerous look, his thumb testing the blade of his ax in full view of the thief. "Something you said?" He grunts after a moment and lets the ax drop, though his eyes are still on Nugan. "Which Marshals would be the best to talk to?"
Sharp 07-20-03, 09:55 PM	Sharp turns around for a second time. "A plan!?" She leans against the wall wincing once again as she does so. "Wonderful! I'd be very happy to hear it, but apparently your guildmaster cannot tolerate some so far nonexistent bickering that is somehow my fault." The sarcasm sounded funny in a halfling voice...but that same voice made the hurt in her tone all the more poignant.
Nugan 07-20-03, 09:57 PM	Nugan shrugs. "Could be any of them... I hear Adele and Zugran took over after Rexx died or retired or something... Of course, I think Zugran kicked off recently as well... So, its just Adele now... Then there's others Reesa, Neska, plenty of others that I forget... Like I said, could be any of them..." Nugan glances to Sharp with a smirk. "Actually, I'd rather blame Manger... If only because his weight and demeanor make him the perfect scapegoat... But honestly, I think its more everyone's fault... Or atleast mine..." ((Wow, these are being posted so fast that I can't keep up. :P))
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 09:59 PM	The dwarfed merchant twists his face into an ugly smirk aimed at Sharp. "Don't worry. If our revered guildmaster doesn't gibber uselessly at something, he'll have his one-track mind open to do something more. Probably something that's horridly stupid, too."
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:02 PM	"Thing is," she said wincing again as she moved away from the wall. She walked back toward them. "I work far better when I am treated with some small measure of respect." She glowered at Nugan briefly, before turneing back to Manger. "So what do you have in mind now?" The Guildmasters words entered her hearing just barely...he was indeed babbling. ((Whoa! I know the feeling! ;) ...Oh, and Nugan, nothing personal, but he did hurt her feelings! :D ))
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:11 PM	The scar-faced man thinks for a moment. "Well," he begins. "I'll still need a bully, but you can be there to fend him off for me, if you wish. Remember, I'm supposed to play Nugan-brains, so I probably can't do too much against it. We'll say that I'm your uncle or something of that sort. You can explain to them that I was hit by an ox cart if the question comes up. We'll sort out that story a little more in a moment, though. I want you to be right there with me to help me ask the Marshals about Juxta city. Tell them, when we speak to them, that I'm terribly slow of mind, but I have an amazing love for architecture. We'll ask questions in passing from then on about the tower itself from that point on."
Nugan 07-20-03, 10:13 PM	Nugan turns to Manger. "Yes, I'm interested in hearing your plan as well... I mean, it must be absolute brilliance to my 'horribly stupid' mind... So, out with it chubby..." ((heheh. Don't take it personally Sharp, Nugan does that. alot.)) ((Edit: Too late, who would have guessed.))
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:18 PM	"So I am to help with your "disguise" then. Very well. I can play a kid well enough," she smirked.
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:22 PM	Manger smirks in his charmingly grotesque way. "Good." He turns to the illithid. "You'll play into this perfectly. I'm supposed to be slow, so I'm guessing that that would drive a brain-sucker like you wild. Am I right?" The merchant then turns back to Sharp. "You might need to change your clothes and hair. Refer to me as Uncle Manger when we're out in public together."
Nugan 07-20-03, 10:27 PM	Nugan smirks. "Now this I'll have to see... From a safe, unassuming distance of course..." ((Poor Dan's going to be busy when he logs on and has to deal w/ everything both Old Hermit and Asthnar have to respond to.))
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:28 PM	"Of course," Manger replies blandly.
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:31 PM	"Can do," she told Manger after a moment's thought. "Where are we supposed to be from?" She looked sideways at Nugan a moment, but then quickly turns her attention back to her job.
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:33 PM	The near-hunchback muses for a second. "We can be from anywhere you see fit. Tell me about it now, just in case I have to rave about it later when we're working."
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:38 PM	"Mmm...Mountainous region, in the northern reaches of a temprate clime...little on the cold side perhaps." As she spoke she matched her own disguise to it. blond hair...braided? ...a peasants dress...good condition? bad condition? She looked back up form her thoughts. "Name the place anything, given the character of juxta no one will question a name they have never heard of...safer than potentially misrepresenting a real place."
Nugan 07-20-03, 10:41 PM	Nugan smirks. "I just thought of something they might question though... I mean its no big deal, but... Wouldn't it be a bit strange for a two-hundred pound human man to have a three foot tall halfling niece... Then again, whose to say anything in today's mordern times..."
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:42 PM	Manger grinned. "This girl's good. Dress plainly. I look horrible, but my body's not worth showing off in nice clothing anyway. If we do it right, there'll be no question what-so-ever about who we are." He turned to Nugan. "We'll say that a short sister of mine married a halfling. The girl's convincing enough, so we won't have a problem with that."
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:45 PM	"Not everyone can recognize a halfling...or tell one from a human child...but good point...suppose, adopted daughter...foundling...whatever, instead of neice? That's another good one..." she said in response to Mangers own suggestion. "See what whoever we are conformted with says about me first and don't say anything original before our quarry has indentified me one way or another. "But anyway, that is quite true Manger. If we do this right there will be no question."
Nugan 07-20-03, 10:47 PM	Nugan nods. "Makes sense to me... This is Juxta we're talking about after all... The most unreasonable part of that story to them would be that neither of you are half-celestial vampires with cat-person blood running through your veins..." ((Edit: In my most nit-picky edit yet, I just changed the smiley at the top so it wouldn't look like I was about to cry for no reason))
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:49 PM	The scar-faced man smirks. "With this girl, I'm suddenly feeling much more confident about your plans, Nugan." He actually beams at the girl.
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:51 PM	Sharp laughed. "You have a very good point Nugan. Thank you for your confidence, Manger. "Now, when shall we hold this interrogation?"
Manger Corelus 07-20-03, 10:54 PM	Manger pulls at his long nose thoughtfully. "I'm not sure. Nugan, can you check on their shifts for me? I don't want to be questioning them within the same hour. That might raise eyebrows."
Sharp 07-20-03, 10:57 PM	"Only maybe," she smiled still, "but all the same, what do you say, Nugan?"
Nugan 07-20-03, 10:58 PM	Nugan shrugs. "You can always find one wandering around the market at early to late evening times... There's almost never more than one in at a time... As to which Marshal has which day... I have no idea..." ((I actually tried to check this out on the ISRP info pages a few days ago, but the WizO shifts section was down.))
Sharp 07-20-03, 11:02 PM	"Nothing more specific? Well...that will have to do. Can you tell me anything about any specific marshals?"
Nugan 07-20-03, 11:20 PM	Nugan furrows his brow for a momment before turning to Sharp. "Let's see... There's Adele, like I said, she runs things now... I'm not sure if she even shows herself in Juxta much anymore really... Then there's Raven, he's a bit uptight and apparently he's not one to be messed with either... or so I hear... Reesa's around too, she's friendlier than Raven, but she's also married to him... Neska's another one, I don't know two much about her, save that she nearly caught me recruiting one time... And there are others who are new... I'm not sure of all of their names..." ((Looks like the WizO list on the ISRP info pages needs updating too. :P Oh and Nugan only listed the WizOs that I know are Juxta related, not the CRT ones.))
Sharp 07-20-03, 11:38 PM	Sharp frowned at the lack of information. "Anything you can add, Manger?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-21-03, 12:25 AM	The tell-tale sound of scraping metal plates can be heard as the partly mechanical lizardman returns. Held in either of his massive fists is a wooden pole, connected to a rather large cart, filled with planks of wood and sheets of metal, along with the usual door-building supplies of heavy hinges and stout locks. The cart looks as if it must weigh close to a thousand pounds, but Nocturan shows no signs of strain in moving the mass. He sets the cart handles down with a thud and pulls out the boards, laying a sheet of metal down onto the wood, and placing a second layer of boards over that. He sets the hinges on place and begins to put the reinforced doors together. (( This will take him a while to do, and don't worry, he doesn't hear a thing about the plans ^_^ ))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 03:11 AM	(( ... umm.. im back.. sorta wish i wasnt.. it was onley one day and..:eek: in a little bit i'll do my best to get my characters up to date, i'll make posts of thier reactions and specify when they did so :) ))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 03:18 AM	( alright, the first looks to be flicks last post on page 6 ) asthnar didnt seem to like not knowing something like this. he presses on, his thoughts still onley to flick.. but more loud Well Well.. our 'lovely' time in the underdark seems to have not brought us closer together.. or some sentimental waist of that sort. What is it you know.. might be important.. you understand.. now why dont you be a good girl and tell your dear friend Asthnar ehh?
Old_Hermit 07-21-03, 03:40 AM	( next is nugans post on page 6, tenth from the bottom ) the old one wakes, as he fell asleep while sitting normal.. his dark hood shaded his face. "LEECHES! .. uh.. Leeches to that dear grandson.." .oO(alright.. maybe theyll passit off as an old saying..) "i know what is and what isnt a secret aye" the old one seems sincere for once.. ... ... " now then.. what were we talking about" and that moment had passed..
Nugan 07-21-03, 03:45 AM	Nugan shrugs to the others. "Looks like Gramps was sleeping... Ah, what do I care, there's plenty of other lose ends... And I really wasn't about to try to catch him..." Nugan turns to Old Hermit with a smirk. "So Gramps... What is a secret then?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 03:47 AM	(the next is nugans fith from bottom post on page 6) Asthnar lets them all hear his thoughts Hmm... interesting idea i supose.. tell me when you have you plan fully thought out. i'll pick at it then.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 03:52 AM	(mangers post, second from the bottom on page 6) again an open send but aimed at manger by all means, Feel free to 'work with me' as long as i have a good time.. im sure you understand what i ment by that...
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 03:57 AM	(to sharp, last post on page 6) Asthnar gives that smirk feeling again, onley more joy in it Good show.. im taking a liking to your attitude.. you are one of few that i look forward to working with.. that is 'if' thies people could form a plan. excuse me for being a little hipocritical, but after all.. im not gaining much, so i dont see a need for any real imput from me
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 04:08 AM	(manger, nineth from the top of page 7) The old one laughs.. rather to much "That is so True!! nugans such a goof-off.. im very surprized this guilds even here..then again.. with a todie like straak.. " shrugs (nugan's responce to the old hermits claims about knowing a secret) "a secret is .. uhh.. umm.. a noun?"
Old_Hermit 07-21-03, 04:11 AM	((ack... that last one was the old hermits of course.. im rather tierd :rolleyes: ))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 04:16 AM	(mangers proposal , page 7 13 from top .. i think.. ) asthnar quirks the area where a brow would be if he had them sounds fun.. if it seems a bit.. real.. dont mind.. im just a good actor.. asthnar makes a gurgly chuckle sound
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 04:28 AM	(thats about it :) yay for me!. one thing left, and i can get t that tommarow. Asthnars been watching and finding out all he could about the marshals. he has something to say on that so hang in there with me as i get it all and get it posted asap. if your gonna respond to my responces, please mention what its to , for when you said it, so we dont end up with confuzed people thinking you said something at the current time instead of in responce to what i responded to befor this hapend because i took a single day off.. i wonder if this is why sivex's player says so little.. well one things for sure.. apathy is often slow moving untill they have something going on, which they jump on like rabid jackals..:D )
Manger Corelus 07-21-03, 11:49 AM	The dwarfed merchant hums thoughtfully. "Well, my dear niece, I believe that Reesa and Neska are on duty around the evening on Juxta. I've got shipments to work with and Nugan to insult, so that will take up most of my day." He scratches his stomach, muttering a little to himself before he speaks to Sharp again, "That will leave only the evenings open for me. We'll do our little act around that time. Let's try for the first Marshal we can." The chubby, scar-faced man turns to Nugan. "Who's been here the longest out of those two?"
Nugan 07-21-03, 05:36 PM	Nugan shrugs. "The vast majority of them have evening shifts... but of the two you mentioned, Reesa's been around longer..." Nugan smirks. "But then again what do I know... I mean its 'amazing I have a guild at all'... Its not we're also the most successful thieves guild in Juxta, ever... And its not even remotely possible that my leadership had anything to do with that... No, no... Perhaps you should ask Straak which Marshal has been around longer, that is after he finishes cleaning up the room Gramps destroyed... Better yet, let's ask Biantium... that's if she can be drug off whatever she mostly recently excavated at the graveyard... Or maybe..." Nugan sighs and trails off.
Manger Corelus 07-21-03, 06:05 PM	Manger growls. "Would you stop feeling sorry for yourself? We have better things to do than listen to you complain." Grumbling, the merchant turns to Sharp. "Let's try to talk to Reesa first. After that, we can hit Neska with any questions we need to so that we can fill any spots Reesa missed."
Sharp 07-21-03, 06:23 PM	Sharp nodded. "Allright then. I'll go get ready and meet you...where and when specifically?" ((I assume we will do this during one of Reesa's actual shifts. Is she on duty tonight does anyone know?))
Felicity_Rauston 07-21-03, 10:07 PM	Felicity wakes up, after dozing off her with book. She looks around. "What?" She scowls at Asthnar, then looks to Nugan. "So. When are we doing what and where and how?"
Nugan 07-21-03, 10:20 PM	Nugan glances to Felicity. "Sharp, Manger, and Asthnar are going to go dig up information..." Nugan's gaze shifts to the three in question. "And nothing else... No pulling anything on your own. Find out anything worthwhile, and report back here. I don't want to see you three running around Juxta with thirty-pound twenty-four carat ruby-studded chains in a week..."
Manger Corelus 07-21-03, 11:09 PM	The dwarfed man gives Nugan a pained expression, then he smirks and nods. "Alright, Nugan...And if something interesting comes up, though?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-21-03, 11:10 PM	The illithid glares at nugan if the oppertunity presents itself, then i will be. then privately to nugan he transmits his suspicions about flick
Nugan 07-21-03, 11:38 PM	Nugan turns to Manger and smirks. "If something interesting comes up, you make those two-hundred and fifty pounds jiggle like there's no tommorrow and get back here right away... Or better yet, just send Sharp or Asthnar so you don't push one of those big pork-filled valves of yours..." Nugan then leans back in his chair and listens to everything Asthnar has to "say". After a few momments of thought he smirks and makes a few gestures. ((Telepathy spell)) o0(Telepathy to Asthnar> You know what Asthnar... better keep an eye on her... no telling what she could could be cooking up....) Nugan shoots a gaze towards Felicity. o0(Telepathy to Felicity> Do me a favor Flick... Watch Asthnar... no telling what he could be cooking up...) Nugan slumps back into the cushioning of his chair with a self-satisfied smile. ((Edit: Just noticed Sharp's question above. I don't think she's on shift until later this week. Friday, I think, or so she mentioned in her last email.))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-22-03, 12:18 AM	(( im gittin a list of the marshals times and such. asthnar will post it as soon as i get it. so dont worrie about that ^_^ ))
Manger Corelus 07-22-03, 01:30 AM	"You know, Nugan," Manger snarls. "Some day that clever mouth of yours is going to get you into so much trouble that even you won't be able to weasle your way out of it." He smirks. "Besides, you were wrong. Two-hundred and fifty-seven pounds, Nugan." The near-hunchback glanced about with a sour look on his face. "Nugan, do you have any ale around this junk heap of yours? I'm parched."
Nugan 07-22-03, 01:40 AM	Nugan shrugs. "I'm not sure, I don't drink... No stomsch for it... but as I can see that you certainly have the stomach for it..." Nugan claps. "Straak, break out some booze, will you?"
Manger Corelus 07-22-03, 01:44 AM	Manger grunts.
Straak 07-22-03, 01:50 AM	Straak stumbles out of what used to be Felicity's room wearing an apron and carrying a spounge and bucket of water. "Yah boss... Just a, ya know, second...." Straak takes off the apron and sets down the pail and sponge. He hurries into one of the abbandoned quarters which, by the looks of it, has been turned into a supply room. He can be heard rummaging around. "Yah, let's see... booze, booze, booze... Nah, that's... Yah... Ah!" Straak emerges from the room, wheeling a large keg in front of him. "Here's ya, ya know, booze..." Straak sets the keg on the floor and helps himself to a glass.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:10 AM	Outside.... Nocturan sets the irons in place on each side of the door, pulling out a massive mallet and begining to hammer the metal into place, creating a sound akin to thunder that echoes throughout the guildhall and the surrounding area. He continues this process four times, twice on each door.
Straak 07-22-03, 02:14 AM	Straak jumps to his feet at the noise, spilling some of his drink, and looks from side to side in concern. When he sees no threat he settles into his chair and sniffs the ale. "Yah... This stuff must start workin' fast..." Straaks shrugs and takes another sip.
Nugan 07-22-03, 02:19 AM	Nugan jumps up at the first sound. After standing, staring at the doorway, for a momment he sinks back into his chair. "Oh right... the door... What are you doing out there Noc? Making an air-tight weasel trap?"
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 02:21 AM	NamelessOne_ edges past Nocturan into the hall, and walks over to Nugan looking a bit more disgusted than usual "That iron maid of yours seems to be a bit of a nuisance... i think you need to reset its controls or something.... oh wait i forgot you're useless...." sighs and sits down at her seat "Oh yeah did i hear something about booze?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:24 AM	The massive lizardman continues to work, raising the mallet high over his head and slamming it down with tremendous force, placing the final iron bolt in place for the hinge supports. He snorts as he reaches into the cart, pulling out the hinges themselves and putting them in place, setting more iron bolts into the sockets and driving them into place with his mallet. Strangely, the lizardman seems to be whistling, though anyone who can see him knows that it is actually the sound of steam venting from his throat with each swing of the hammer. (( Edit: I was typing this while those last two were done. Resonses to come.... ))
Nugan 07-22-03, 02:25 AM	Nugan smirks and waves to NamelessOne as she enters. "Well, well... Crawl out of my attic for the first time in a month, and what do you do? Call me useless... Nice to have you back Nameless... And here I thought I was going to have to make fun of them all alone tonight..." Nugan gestures towards the keg. "Oh and the booze is over there... Help yourself as if you stole it from my tower... Or is it your tower now?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:29 AM	Nocturan smirks as he looks at the old doors, then yells loud enough for those within to hear. "You'll see! These doors will be the strongest damn things I've ever thought about breaking down!" He smirks at Nameless as he sees her, setting back to his work on the hinges.
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 02:30 AM	NamelessOne_ looks to Nugan and smirks "why i wouldnt miss it for the world. But i do think you should go retreive me some booze lest i reveal the location of your tower and how to get past the various warding spells and the looting would begin and such... not that theres much left to loot... i mean... er.. opps"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:33 AM	Nocturan pauses the hammering, looking to the old hinges that support the current doors and shaking his head disdainfully. "The old has to go before the new can be built...." He begins to walk toward the guild hall, his claw blades extending forward with a sharp clanging sound.
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 02:34 AM	the old one dives at the keg and gets a mug. he doesnt bother to go back to his seat, instead, he just flops onto the floor
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 02:37 AM	the old one hears the blade and sees the 'mecha lizard' stalking twords here. he jumps to his feet and spills his drink. he ignores it and runs to nugans feet where he hugs his shins and clamps him self on " Nooo grandson, your having him take me away! ahhhhhh i wont go! i wont Go!! "
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:38 AM	Nocturan reels back a powerful arm and drives it forward as he nears the doors, ramming the claw blades into the old wood and through to the other side around the hinges. He pulls his fist back and slams another punch into the door, this time his hand busting through. His hand opens as he reaches around and grabs a firm hold of the upper portion of this door and pulls back, creating an ear splitting wrenching noise.
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 02:39 AM	the old one's grip increeses with each sound
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 02:41 AM	NamelessOne_ Looks to Nugan then to the old one and back again "So thats your grandfather... hmm... seems bout right"
Nugan 07-22-03, 02:45 AM	Nugan opens his mouth to protest Nameless, but uinstead stands and walks over to the keg. He pours out a glass and hands it to NamelessOne. "There you go Nameless... Now why don't you slip it all over me and light a match, because..." Nugan is cut off by Hermit's display and he turns to regard him, smirking. "That's right Gramps, keep running... It can only help you..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:47 AM	He begins to yank back with all of his weight, which being half metal is nearly a half ton. Any who see him notice that his massive muscles are tensing from the exertion, thick with wirey cording as he tears the door backward. He snarls in a focused roar as he pulls once more, a sickening crunch audible as the first of the old hinges gives way, the door hanging on half a support.
Nugan 07-22-03, 02:47 AM	Nugan turns back to Nameless with a smirk. "No, if he was really my Grandfather, he would be chasing me around the room right now... That is, if the current family line is any indication..." Nugan turns to the Hermit hanging from his leg and tries to kick him off. "Despite what you may have heard, Gramps, I'm not down with that..."
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 02:49 AM	takes the booze from nugan, smiling "why i'd luv to nugan... but i will get more enjoyment out of drinking it believe it or not..."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 02:50 AM	the old one jumps to his feet "What the duck .oO(i know i heard that somewhere) one moment you accept me as part of your group and now you claim me not your dear grand father! that hurts.. realy hurts" :sad:
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 02:53 AM	He rips his hand free of the hole he placed in the old doors, glaring inside the guild hall with feral eyes past the half torn down door. He takes a step back and winds up another punch, this one driving the blades into the lower hinge of the same door, the claws piercing cleanly through. Another punch and he drives his fist through completely, getting a grip on the door itself. He wrenches back again, the crunching sound of tearing metal resonating upon those who hear it.
Nugan 07-22-03, 02:54 AM	Nugan shrugs. "What can I say Gramps... We're fickle, fickle people..." Nugan gestures to NamelessOne. "I mean, just look at her... She can't even decide on a permenant form... Or a name for that matter..."
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 02:54 AM	NamelessOne_ scowls at Nocturan and the turns to Nugan and sighs "Really nugan, i expected better of you then to not give it some sort of volume control or sound barrier or something... i guess that was a mistake. i mean you cant even get your grandfather the help he obviously needs... why should the guild be any better."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 02:56 AM	the old one seems not to hear this
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 03:00 AM	Nocturan lets out an ear splitting roar as he pulls back once more, rending the hinges with his strength. The door rips from its bearings in Nocturan's hands. He throws it off to the side and looks inside the guild hall with a smirk before stepping over to the second door. "It's about damn time I had some fun around here...."
Nugan 07-22-03, 03:08 AM	Nugan winces at Nocturan's roar before looking from him to NamelessOne to Old Hermit to the now tipsy Straak and back again. He sighs. "Oh yeah... This night's going to be great... At least it can't get much worse..." Nugan winces at this and reaches out to knock on the tabletop, but he's interupted by the sound of a carriage pulling up in front of the Guildhall.
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 03:12 AM	NamelessOne stands looking annoyed at how far the keg is from her seat, and pulls her chair up to the keg. looks inside "Nugget, i think were gonna need more pretty damn soon"
Nugan Wracod Sr 07-22-03, 03:14 AM	Nugan Sr pulls open the door to his carriage and steps out, walking up to the Guildhall. "Listen boy, I've been looking..." Nugan Sr looks at the construction then turns to his son. "What the hell is going on here? Good gods boy, you aren't at the acadamy anymore (you saw to that). You can't run around with transients tearing down buildings in a drunken stupor... And you wonder why I'm so harsh with you..."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 03:15 AM	the old one runs to her/it and looks (nameless) :OMG! (heh, always wanted to use that) the old one grabs straak and lifts him off heis feet "Damn you little whatever you are! get more!"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 03:18 AM	He drives his fist into the second door, the claw blades piercing through. He once more follows it up with another punch, his fist reaching through the wood. He lines up his other arm, repeating the violent strikes until both hands break through the wood. He begins to torque the door backwards, wrenching it slowly, the hinges graoning in resistance.
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 03:21 AM	the old one stops dead when he hears the voice he turns slowley to see wracod sr. he crosses his arms and stares for a moment befor rushing at him and jumping at him while yelling "SSSSOOOONNNN".
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 03:21 AM	NamelessOne watches as nugan sr joins the fun and smirks "Finnally someone i can relate with.."
Nugan 07-22-03, 03:21 AM	Nugan sighs and slips his hand back under the table, not bothering to "knock on wood" now. "Hello Dad..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 03:24 AM	Pauses the door ripping fun to give a nod to Mr. Wracod "Here to torment the little weasel?" Resumes rending the door, which gives way after a few more tugs with a vicious crunch. He flings the door off to the side with the first door and walks back to his new door project, leaving the guild hall wide open and doorless for the time being.
Straak 07-22-03, 03:27 AM	Straak, who had fallen in to stupor, stumbles to his feet as he's shook. "Yah... Yah... I'll... ya know... get it..." Straak, obviously tipsy, walks awkardly over to the room and slowly pushes out another keg before collapsing next to it.
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 03:33 AM	NamelessOne stands up and walks ( a bit shakely) over to the new keg and opens it looks down at straak and shakes her head "wish i could rest like that" smiles to herself and starts in on the keg
Nugan Wracod Sr 07-22-03, 03:35 AM	Nugan Sr walks into the Guildhall and stops in front of Nameless. "Well, if it isn't the boy's lodger... Don't envy you, not a bit..." Nugan Sr drops into a seat as Old Hermit ludges at him. "Damn it, control yourself... Its not my fault that I'm not living in the gutter like you... Maybe if you tamed your drinking problem... I swear, the homeless are always after the ones on top." Nugan Sr turns to Nugan after glancing to Straak, pulling a cigar case from his shirt. He opens it and withdraws a cigar, lighting it and placing it between his lips. "Boy, looks like your lizard's dead..."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 03:38 AM	the old one misses and tumbles to the door and into Noccy he eeps and jumps to his feet, then darts inside to flicks old room where he burys himself in whatever he can find
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 03:39 AM	Pauses as his nostrils falre a bit, he turns to look inside the guild hall and grins. "Booze. It's about damn time." He walks in, leaving the tools outside by the new doors, then bumps into the hermit, glaring down at him he snarls as he watches him run away. He shrugs and makes his way heedlessly to where Straak was fetching the kegs from and grabs one for himself, carrying it out into the main hallway. He tears the lid off and lifts the keg up, then looks to those present. "What do you say we make a game of this? Anyone willing to wager on whether or not I can down this full keg in one minute?"
Nugan 07-22-03, 03:40 AM	Nugan looks at his father and sighs. "No Dad, he's just... drunk... really really drunk..." Nugan turns to Nameless with a smirk. "What my feather bed not comfortable enough? Or did you just leave it halfway up the stairs like most of the stuff you stole from me..."
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 03:47 AM	NamelessOne ignoring nugan,looks up from the keg, seeming to get an idea. turns to the empty keg and takes out a lighter and lights it on fire, and starts kicking it around the room "FIREBALL!" "look nugan, you're not the only one who can do magic" trips on about the third kick and decides to stick with the floor
Nugan Wracod Sr 07-22-03, 03:49 AM	Nugan Sr turns to Nocturan and sniffs the air. "I'm not going to challenge that... My the smell of it you did that already earlier today... And maybe fell into an oil well too..." Nugan Sr turns to his son. "Really boy, why didn't you just use your magic (which I paid so much for during your brief stay at the Academy), and summon up twenty damn homeless, sewer-dwelling Orcs... Because that would be a favor to me at this point..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 03:54 AM	Chuckles at Mr. Wracod, raising the keg higher and driving a claw blade into the base. He opens his jaws as the ale drains out quickly, drinking down the liquid as fast as it falls into his mouth. After a little over a minute of this, the keg empties completely and Nocturan drops it to the floor with a clattering thud. He glances around to those present. "Did any of you time that?"
Nugan 07-22-03, 03:55 AM	Nugan puts his head in his hands and lets out a long sigh of exasperation as he sees the flaming barrel and hears his father's statements. "I... You... Don't... But... I think..." Nugan gives up on speaking and simply stands, makes a few gestures and points at the barrel. He watches as a large pile of dust falls from nowhere onto the barrel, exstiguishing it, before resuming his seat. "Please... Please... Don't do that again... ever..."
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 03:56 AM	NamelessOne pulls herself into a sitting position and looks at nocturan "i'd wager nugan's drunk of a mother could of emptied it faster"
Nugan Wracod Sr 07-22-03, 04:01 AM	Nugan Sr withdraws the cigar from his mouth, coughs up some smoke, and turns to NamelessOne with a nod. "The old woman could have drained a keg twice that size in that time and still have had time left to charge it and six hats to my account..."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 04:01 AM	pokes his head out of the doorway, wearing instead of his robes hood, a sheet that hes wraped around to make it a hooded cloak. after a moment he wanders back to his chair and sits
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 04:02 AM	Eyes Nameless as he hears her comment. "Only if the weasel's mother was part whale...." Then glances at Mr. Wracod. "And judging by that guy, it could damn well be the case. Now, back to work." He walks back outside and picks up his tools, setting back to constructing the new doors.
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 04:07 AM	NamelessOne stands slowly and looks around. spots the once flaming barrel. sighs mumbling someting about nugan and having to work on that spell and makes her way to a good corner. curls up in a ball and starts to nod off
Nugan Wracod Sr 07-22-03, 04:08 AM	Nugan Sr coughs in surprise and spins to look at Nocturan. "What was that? I damn well hope that a smelly transient repair man didn't just..."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 04:09 AM	the old one laughes at the comment
Nugan 07-22-03, 04:13 AM	Nugan winces at Nocturan's comment and suppresses a smirk. "Oh good... Well, somebody (or probably eveybody) is going to end up dead now... wonderful..." Nugan sighs and sinks backwards into his chair.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 04:22 AM	Nocturan turns around to look at Mr. Wracod, now holding the large mallet that looks like it must weigh thirty to forty pounds of solid iron. "You hope that this 'smelly transient repair man' didn't just what? You want to try me old man? I've got a full keg and a few dozen quarts of oil in me right about now, you want to test me, try it." He stands there, staring down Mr. Wracod, waiting for his response.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-22-03, 04:28 AM	asthnar, still leaning against the wall ponders if it would be a good show or a dissapointment
Nugan Wracod Sr 07-22-03, 04:28 AM	Nugan Sr hesistates for a momment, looking Nocturan over and fingering his cigar. "I hope... I hope, sir, that you..." Nugan Sr turns to address the others in the Guildhall. "And the rest of you... Learn a bit of respect and dignity... And, if I were you, I would hope that this hell-hole is still standing in the morning..." Nugan Sr drops the butt of his cigar on the ground in front of Nocturan and stomps it out with his foot. He then turns and, with noticably hurry, walks outside before climbing into the carriage and ordering the driver to leave.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-22-03, 04:30 AM	Asthnar laughs his gurgly laugh then open sends, but pointed at noccy Good show.. about time someone shut him up.. i was going to but i dont think Nugan wouldve truely liked that anyway
Nugan 07-22-03, 04:32 AM	Nugan shakes his head and waves to his father as he leaves. "Good luck Dad..." Nugan turns to Nocturan with a smirk. "So... How much do I owe you for that?"
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 04:32 AM	the old one also laughs "now i remember why i stoped talking to him"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 04:32 AM	Chuckles as he watches Mr. Wracod's courage fade before his eyes. He snarls at him as he passes, letting out a roar like that of a bull alligator and venting steam from his throat, watching as that old man leaves. He turns back to the others. "Someone had to get rid of him."
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 04:36 AM	looks up suddenly wakened by nocturan. gets up and stumbles to nugan "Shopher, do be kind and teleport me home now"
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 04:40 AM	the old one yawns. "i too think i will sleep now"
Nugan 07-22-03, 04:41 AM	Nugan smirks. "Not to smashed to take advantage of me I see... Just a momment..." Nugan mummbles a few words and makes some gestures. After a few seconds, he watches as a silverish-blue portal opens in front of him. "There... Don't trip over any of "your" stuff on your way up the stairs..."
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 04:42 AM	the old one takes this opertunity and darts through the portal
Old_Hermit 07-22-03, 04:45 AM	the old one once at his destination sets about searching for a good bed to sleep in
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 04:45 AM	Nocturan returns to the half finished doors, checking their solidity for a moment, then carries the first one over. He then returns and gets the second door, setting it in place, resting the hinges against the walls of the building. He sets an iron spike into the hinge, tapping it in with his claw-blades and raises the hammer back over his head. He swings it forward with such tremendous force that dust shakes out of the walls within, then draws it back and repeats the swing, driving the hinge support into place.
Darkling Stalker 07-22-03, 04:46 AM	watches the old hermit go thru the portal and sighs. shrugs and enters the portal
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-22-03, 04:46 AM	Asthnar Laughes at the old ones display well.. he can be rather quick now cant he...
Nugan 07-22-03, 04:48 AM	Nugan watches the Hermit rush through the portal then stares blankly into space for a momment. Eventually he blinks and turns to Nameless. "Did... did he... Did Gramps just... Is he in my... Will he..." Nugan trails off and resumes his blank stare.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 04:50 AM	He moves over to the other side of the doorway, setting the top hinge as he did with the first. He raises the hammer and strikes harshly, rattling the walls with the force of the blow, and then strikes again in the same way. He sets another iron spike into the lower hinge and winds the hammer back low, swinging it in like a modern era golf club and driving the spike into the wall halfway, then drives it in once more, completing the first of the two doors. He moves over to the remaining door and sets the spike in place, repeating the double strike process and finishing the door installation. "Now for the locks...."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-22-03, 04:52 AM	asthnar fades to nugans side and pats him on the shoulder How much do new plane shifting towers cost anyway? Asthnar chuckels
Straak 07-22-03, 04:55 AM	Straak props himself up from behind the keg, having been woken up by the commotion. "Yah... What's, ya know, happening?" Straak spots the open portal and forces himself to his feet. He stumbles over to it. "Ugh... My, ya know, head..." Straak makes an ueasy step into the portal and vanishes.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 05:00 AM	Nocturan walks out to the cart, grabbing hold of the stout locks and moving back to the doors. He slides one half into place, securing it with a smaller ten pound mallet and then moves to the other door, doing the same. He stands back for a moment and looks at his craftsmanship with pride. He steps into the guildhall and pulls the doors closed, turning the heavy locking mechanism to the secured position. He turns and looks at Nugan. "There you go, new doors, as I promised. And you even managed to keep the old guy from bugging me. So, there's no charge, but I'm tired as hell, so I'm gonna crash here tonight." He walks over to one of the empty rooms and flings the door open, walking in and taking up the bed, leaning back like a lizard in a swamp.
Nugan 07-22-03, 05:01 AM	Nugan breaks from his trance and turns to Asthnar. "Alot... How much damage do you think he could do?" Nugan quickly wraps the table with his fist. "And don't answer that..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-22-03, 05:07 AM	athnar croses his arms Depends on what you concider damage
Nugan 07-22-03, 05:10 AM	Nugan stretches and walks towards the portal himself. "Well, good luck everyone..." Nugan takes a momment to survey the damage that's been done to the Guildhall. "Great..." Nugan turns and steps inside the portal. He watches as it shuts behind him. ((Well, that was fun. :) Anyway, time laspe time again. For the next person to post, its the morning of the next day, and the Guildhall is just as Nugan left it now.))
Felicity_Rauston 07-22-03, 11:26 AM	Felicity is sleeping in her chair, having fallen asleep there amidst the drama of last night. Her book is settled precariously on the armrest.
Manger Corelus 07-22-03, 12:58 PM	Manger watched all of this with a raised eyebrow, then he beamed at Nocturan as he threatened Nugan's father. "You know, Nugan. I could get to likeing this guy." He looked about grumpily, then stood and stomped into the back for another keg. He rolled out a smaller one, and, with a practiced blow, smashed the top of it in, taking out each bit of broken wood and casually chucking them at Nugan. He then grabbed up a mug and diped it into the ale, using a towel to wipe the side of the mug off. The near-huncbacked merchant turned to peer at Nugan and Nameless. "Perhaps you should open another portal for that senile old drunk..Perhaps to a nice dragons den. You can get the drunk lass home later." Twisting his face into a grotesque smirk, Manger tramped back to his seat and flings himself into it, amazingly being one of the few who hadn't spilled any of his ale. In the morning, Manger can be seen sitting in his chair, casually drinking ale and looking at a ledger of purchases, though they could probably be more accuratly refered to as thefts. Sipping again, he takes a look around the room.
Nugan 07-22-03, 02:42 PM	Nugan blinks into existence, seated in his chair. He surveys the Guildhall, shaking his head. "Ugh... I have a pounding headache... And I didn't even have anything to drink..." Nugan stands, walks over to the supply room, and shuts the door. He reaches into a pocket in his robes and withdraws a keychain. After fumbling with it for a short time, he selects one of the keys and locks the door with it. He slips the keychain back into his pocket and turns towards the others. "Sorry guys, but we're going dry from now on... Well, atleast until my father shows up again... even I'll need it then..." Nugan returns to his chair and takes a seat.
Felicity_Rauston 07-22-03, 04:10 PM	Felicity opens one eye. "Eh? Father? Did I miss something, between the 'Nugan is the son of an ox and a stone' and the 'Nugan has a father' bit?" She yawns a petite, kittenish yawn. "I don't drink, anyway. Not much. Your loss."
Manger Corelus 07-22-03, 05:04 PM	The dwarfed man grins nastily. "But which one is Nugan's father? The stone, or the ox?"
Nugan 07-22-03, 05:51 PM	Nugan smirks. "You were here last night Manger, you tell me... I'm leaning towards ox... Oh and Flick, whatever you slept through, consider yourself lucky that you missed it..."
Manger Corelus 07-22-03, 05:55 PM	The ugly man drinks from his tankard, looking back to his theft-ledger.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 07:17 PM	Nocturan awakens in the room he grabbed at random, the sound of scraping metal heard as he stretches. He flings the door open again and walks out into the main hall and looks to Nugan. "That was one hell of a night, now then, I'm kinda hungry. What do you weasels keep for food around here?" He glances around and looks for Straak. "I hear kobold is good with certain spices...."
Nugan 07-22-03, 07:17 PM	Nugan sighs, surveying the damage. "Well, Straak's going to have quite the bit of work ahead of him when he recovers from his hangover... Looks like a wild animal tore through this place..." Nugan blinks as he hears a sound from one of the empty quarters. He turns towards the room, noticing that its door is slightly ajar.
A Goat 07-22-03, 07:22 PM	A goat trots out of the room, chewing on a tin can. o0(Mmmm... Can) The goat stops at a point near the table and moves it head silently from side to side, taking its location in.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 07:31 PM	Nocturan turns to look at the goat that just walked in. "Hmm, haggis for breakfast.... Works for me." His claw blades clang down and he brings them together, scraping the razor sharp edges against each other to sharpen them. "Anyone else hungry?"
Nugan 07-22-03, 07:31 PM	Nugan sighs upon spotting the goat. "I think I'll just keep my mouth shut from now on... Nugan pauses for a momment. "On second thought... Maybe I'll just be more careful what I say... Well... Oh well, maybe not, but..." Nugan turns to Nocturan with a smirk, gesturing to the goat. "You were saying something about being hungry?" ((Edit: Last line is a bit late, but you get the point. :P ))
A Goat 07-22-03, 07:40 PM	The goat turns its gaze to Nocturan and props its ears back in concern. o0(Can? ... Not Can!) The goats spins around and trots outside as quickly as it can, its can swishing back and forth in its mouth. o0(Mmmm... Can)
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 07:43 PM	Nocturan begins to move toward the goat, ready to slice it up with the claw blades. He smirks as the goat trots out, then snarls. "Not worth the effort to chase a goat, it's probably too stringy to eat anyway."
Nugan 07-22-03, 07:53 PM	Nugan chuckles and shakes his head as he watches Nocturan and the goat. "Ah, the natural order at its finest... Three-hundred pound abyssal mechanical lizard steathily stalks down and captures its prey..." Nuugan smirks as the goat trots outside. "Or not... Oh well Noc, I think there's a stable down the street..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-22-03, 08:01 PM	Nocturan looks at Nugan, and smirks. "You know what? You're right, there is a stable not far from here. I could go for some steak, I'll be back in a few...." He walks to the doors, unlocking the heavy locking mechanism and opening them up. He steps out and looks over his shoulders. "Oh, and don't try to lock me out either, I've got the keys." He smirks as he raises an arm in a bicep flex, the turns his hand slightly showing the key ring that holds an actual key for the locks. He walks off to the nearest farm and smashes down the barn doors.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 07-23-03, 12:06 AM	Astnar fades into view by the new doors, then closes and locks them for the hell of it then leans against a wall as useual
Old_Hermit 07-23-03, 12:24 AM	a small blue portal opens and the old one crawls through, wearing a set of nugans curtains stiched up to be robes he stands and walks to a chair next to flick
Nugan 07-23-03, 01:27 AM	Nugan glances at Asthnar. "Do me a favor while you're over there... Check that thing for blades, gas canisters, darts, and, well, anything that shouldn't be part of a legitimate lock... Thanks..." Nugan turns to the Hermit and smirks. "Comfortable?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-23-03, 01:30 AM	Nocturan returns to the guildhall, carrying a large piece of meat that seems to be a skinned version of a cow's leg, ripped right off from the body. He extends his free hand to open the door and finds it locked. He shakes his head in annoyance and gets the ring of keys, unlocking the doors and pushing them wide with tremendous force and storms in, the piece of meat over his shoulder dripping blood from time to time, clearly a fresh kill. "Alright, who's the weasel that locked me out?"
Nugan 07-23-03, 01:38 AM	Nugans shrugs, smirking slightly. "I don't know Noc... Maybe the goat did it..." Nugan raises his eybrows a the cow's leg. "Eating light tonight, Nocturan?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-23-03, 02:26 AM	Nocturan eyes Nugan, hauling the cow's leg down and dropping it on the table with a splat. "Funny, damn funny you worthless worm." He flips open a small nozzle in his left forearm, and raises a small piece of metal, to which he affixes a small piece of wood. He lights the wood on fire with a tindertwig and lifts the cow's leg again, holding it up straight. With a few movements of his left hand, a stream of fluid jets out of the nozzle, igniting as it meets the small flame. The fire blasts out onto the meat, cooking it slowly over the course of the next few minutes. He looks to Nugan. "Just for that, no steak for you. Anyone else want some?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-23-03, 09:07 PM	Felicity eyes the cow's leg dubiously. "Okay... maybe I will turn vegetarian after all. This place gets stranger and stranger."
Nugan 07-23-03, 11:52 PM	Nugan gives Felicity a worried look after she finishes. "Quick! ... Oh nevermind, I'll do it for you..." Nugan knocks on the the table in front of him twice before freezing in place, his eyes darting from side to side. After a few momments he breathes a sigh of relief. "Don't scare me like that again... I didn't want to see what would happen next after you said that..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-24-03, 05:35 AM	The fire stream stops, leaving the meat fully cooked and nicely charred. He looks around once more and asks. "Everyone's sure they don't want any? Fine by me." He tears into the cow's leg which, taking large bites and devouring it over the course of a few minutes, not chewing, just swallowing, a rather unpleasant sight to watch. He sits down in a random empty chair and looks around as he puts his large feet up on the table with a smirk, chewing on the large femur bone in his hand like it was normal to do so.
Manger Corelus 07-24-03, 11:01 PM	The ugly, scar-faced, dwarfed, almost hunch-backed man swallows the last of his ale and places his mug onto the table. He then proceeds to pick up his ledger and casually chuck it into the fire from across the table. Growling, Manger scratches his stomach. "Don't you have anything to eat around here, Nugan? Why don't you send for a cow, or a pig?"
Nugan 07-24-03, 11:20 PM	Nugan shrugs. "You know, I don't think we have anything... Odd, isn't it? ... Maybe it has something to do with the fact that, well... We are not a restaurant." Nugan turns to look at the others. "But I suppose I could send for something... If everyone chips in that, is... What does everybody want?"
Sharp 07-25-03, 01:28 AM	Sharp walked in the now open yet quite locakble doors. She looked up as the locks puzzled for a moment and then shook her head, continuing her entrance. She glanced at Nocturan as she passed him. More gross eating habits...though definitely an improvement...yes... "Good morning," she said taking a seat by Manger. "What news?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-25-03, 01:49 AM	Nocturan shoots a glance at Nugan. "If you're ordering out, get a few kegs of that trollslayer stuff from Oerth, I'm kinda thirsty. I'll pay for it in full." He pauses, then speaks again. "And yes, I could just go and get it myself, but I'm too lazy, so deal with it weasel boy."
Felicity_Rauston 07-25-03, 12:22 PM	Felicity raises a brow and pretends to go back to sleep, muttering: "Lousy chairs..."
Manger Corelus 07-25-03, 02:17 PM	Manger shrugs. "Nothing, yet. We'll find something out soon enough. It just might be time to start snooping, Sharp." He grunts. "Just as soon as Nugan here gets something to eat for us all. I've been working all night."
Sharp 07-25-03, 05:39 PM	Having already well eaten and having food in her pack for another two such meals...Sharp just shrugged. "Ok, we can wait." She was grinning again. Starting to snoop sounded good... ((Note to manger's player: When are we gonna do this exactly?))
Nocturan Deadfall 07-26-03, 07:50 PM	Nocturan smirks at the lack of response from Nugan, then shakes his head and mutters. "Ahh Hells, I'll have a messenger get the trollslayer...." He blinks as he glances over at Manger and Sharp hearing the mentioning of snooping. "Snooping? What are you weasels up to now? No, wait, nevermind.... I'f it's something Apathy has planned, I don't want to know...." He looks back to a small plate on his forearm and touches a set of runes in an intricate pattern with the tip of his claw. He looks back up and smirks. "There, the kegs should be here soon. If there's a scheme in the air, at least I'll be able to drink something to keep the splitting headaches away...." He leans back in the chair, relaxing and tries implicitly not to catch any of the plotting details. (( Alright, just because Nugan is away doesn't mean we have to take a break. Let's keep this thread going in his abscence, shall we? :) ))
Felicity_Rauston 07-26-03, 08:47 PM	Felicity opens one eye and slants a suspicious glance at Nocturan. "No schemes," she says sleepily. "We're too apathetic to have schemes. Go on thinking we have no evil plots. Scheme-free, see?"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-26-03, 10:56 PM	Nocturan smirks at Felicity. "Precisely, no evil schemes, that works for me. Even if there are, I don't want to know about them. I've seen what happens when Nugan tries to put a scheme together, he just makes more enemies and gets people going after his throat. That's the way it always has been, and unless he's learned to shut his big mouth, it will always be that way." He sits back and looks toward the door. "Now, where's that messenger with my damn trollslayer?"
Grineck Cut-tooth 07-26-03, 11:06 PM	The little goblin in the lime green suit marches up the hill to the door of the guildhall, rolling a rather large cask of trollslayer, larger than he is, with a great deal of difficulty in front of him. He grumbles as he marches, using his cane foe leverage. "Damn my underworld ties.... work fer a damn fiend fer a little while an' I wind up havin' ta deliver beer fer his damn machine-lizard-thing...." He stumbles over a rock and his hat falls down over his eyes, causing him to trip and fall, the cask rolling quickly right into the guildhall doors. He rises to his feet, brushing the dirt off of his suit and resets his hat with the top of his cane, the feather bobbing all the while as he grumbles. "Damn hat...." He looks forward and sees that the cask is at the door of the guildhall, and he walks right up and knocks on the doors.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-27-03, 02:43 AM	Nocturan gets up as he hears the knock at the doors and walks over, opening them up and looking outside. He looks outside levelly to himself, then looks down at the golblin and the cask. "It's about time you got here.... Wait.... Grineck? You're the delivery boy, eh? No wonder it took so long. Oh well, just get the trollslayer in here and set it up in my room." He walks back to his seat and sits back down, putting his large feet back up on the table. Not giving the goblin any help at all.
Grineck Cut-tooth 07-27-03, 03:00 AM	Grineck looks up at Nocturan and smirks. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big lizard want beer, if you say so. And ya should try luggin' a cask o' ale that's three times larger than you up that damn hill. That is, if yer lizard brain can multiply...." He trails off as he pushes the cask of trollslayer into the vacant room that Nocturan has taken up, grumbling as he tries to force it through the door. After much stress and a few choice words, he gets the cask through the door and sets it up. He walks back out of the room. "I'd ask ya why yer room smells so bad, but considering what ya smell like, tha answer's clear.... At any rate, ya got yer beer, so I'll be on my way." No longer having the cask to deal with, he struts out the door as he normally does when leaving somewhere, tapping his cane against the floor with each step, the feather in his hat bobbind as he moves. As he passes through the doorway, his hat falls down over his eyes, causing him to stumble a bit. He readjusts his hat with the top of cane and continues on out, grumbling under his breath. "Damn hat...."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-27-03, 03:19 AM	Nocturan shoots up with a snarl as he glares at Grineck. "What was that shrimp? Hey look, I'm Nocturan. You know damn well that you have no right to address me like that you filthy little goblin...." He trails off as he sees Grineck walking out and leaving, then looks around at the others present before retaking his seat once more. He speaks trying to sound as dignified as possible, which considering who he is, isn't very dignified at all. "It's hard to find good help these days." He looks around again, then leans back and gets quiet.
Felicity_Rauston 07-27-03, 01:19 PM	Felicity eyes Grineck's hat. "Hmm... where'd you get that hat, littl'un? Who's your milliner?"
Nugan 07-27-03, 03:24 PM	Nugan, who dozed off soon after making his last statement, snaps back to conciousness. "Ughh... Sorry... I didn't get much sleep last night... Spent most of the night chasing a certain elderly man around my tower... And that was after the party..." Nugan blinks and glances at Grineck as he steps outside before turning to Nocturan. "Hey Noc, when did you get a Straak?" Nugan smirks and turns to address the others. "So... What were we talking about again?"
Manger Corelus 07-27-03, 08:04 PM	Manger raised a dirty eyebrow. "You were chasing the old man around your tower? What for?" The old, nearly hunch-backed man turned to look at Nocturan and his cask of beer. "You do plan on sharing that, don't you?" Scratching his cheek, the scar-faced merchant eyed Sharp. "Eager one, aren't you? Well, we'll get started soon enough." ( To Sharp: I don't really know what time I'll be able to do this. My family's making and breaking a lot of plans, so I don't know when I'll be here, and when I won't. I'll try to get an idea of when we can do it soon. )
Grineck Cut-tooth 07-27-03, 08:58 PM	Grineck glances back over his shoulder at Felicity, pausing before leaving. "Huh? Milli-what-now? I dunno, I found it on some dead guy, track down his corpse and ask it with some kinda magic or somthin', maybe he knows where he got it." He snorts at Nugan's Straak comment. "Nah, I heard about yer little Straak thing. Not even close." He turns back to the door again and finishes walking out.
Nocturan Deadfall 07-27-03, 10:04 PM	Nocturan leans back and smirks at Nugan. "No, that's not a Straak, that's a damn ingrate messenger. You're the only one with a Straak around here, unless we count the hermit as belonging to one of you." He gives a glance at Manger at the beer comment. "I'll cut you a deal, half price per mug, how's that?"
Nugan 07-27-03, 10:13 PM	Nugan smirks and shakes his head as he listens. "Well, we were dry for nearly..." Nugan withdraws a pocketwatch from his robes, pops it open, and glances at it. "How about that, nearly two and a half hours... Better than I expected... You know, why don't I just hire a bouncer, find some dancing girls, cast some sort of pyschadellic light spell, and start changing admission... At least then we'd be turning a profit..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-27-03, 10:28 PM	Nocturan looks over to Nugan, raising an eye ridge a bit. "I know that was sarcasm, but it's actually a good idea. You could make some decent money if you turned this place into a nightclub, and as for a bouncer, I'll handle that. But, uhh.... Don't forget the music, people won't show up without the music." He smirks as he leans back in his chair a bit, looking around the room.
Nugan 07-28-03, 03:16 AM	Nugan sighs, glancing at the others before turning to Nocturan. "Well Noc, as much as I'd like to do that... If only to live up to our name... I'd much rather have thousands of pieces of Marshal gold..." Nugan turns back to the others. "Speaking of which, any progress on that?" ((Oh yeah, my newest email lists a few possible times for the robbery. Please check it out and give me your feedback if you plan to be involved. Thanx. :) ))
Sharp 07-28-03, 11:14 AM	Sharp squinted at Nugan breifly upon hearing his response to Nocturan. Do I detect some vital focus in this sham of a theives guild? She hoped they would get started quickly. ((Manger, just let me know. Thanks.)) "I already asked what news there was, Nugan. Say why don't you start? What have you done for the cause thee last few days?"
Felicity_Rauston 07-28-03, 11:37 AM	Felicity pipes up. "There was a girl poking around a couple of days ago. Looking for Nugan and Apathy. Kinda strange." She ponders for a few moments, then says: "I think that was the girl to whom I'd described Nugan and what a jerk--I mean, wonderful, omniscient leader he is. But that was even further back." She rolls her eyes.
Nugan 07-28-03, 01:50 PM	Nugan smirks to Sharp. "I've been... providing guidance.... And do you guys ever need it..." Nugan blinks and spins to address Felicity. "What's this now, Flick? Any idea who this person might be?"
Sharp 07-28-03, 02:59 PM	Sharp stifled a laugh, and sat back to listen.
Felicity_Rauston 07-28-03, 08:51 PM	Felicity shrugs. "A little shorter than me. Lots of flashy jewellery. Brown hair, in braids. Pretty sword--definitely expensive. Colourful comes to mind. Not exactly a vengeful, skulking assassin, so don't worry, Nugan, she's not your type."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-28-03, 09:03 PM	Nocturan looks at Sharp as she asks Nugan what he's been doing. "The same thing he always does. Running his mouth and making people angry at him. You'd be amazed how much damage he can do to himself and others that way. Believe me, I know first hand what kind of trouble Nugan's smart mouth can cause for his employees." He glances at Felicity with a smirk. "You're right, that doesn't sound like Nugan's type at all.... She's not a kobold."
Nugan 07-28-03, 10:36 PM	Nugan gives Nocturan a look of mock hurt. "Ouch Noc... Those Straak jokes... Even after so many times they always..." Nugan burst into mock tears that slowly transition to chuckling. After a momment he gains control over himself and turns to Felicity. "So anyway... I think I may have run into her too... You're right, she's a bit too cool headed to be vengeful... Seemed like more of a business thing... She could be working someone, the Marshals maybe, or she could be working for herself.... Trying to find some way to extort us or something... Either way, let's keep our eyes open."
Felicity_Rauston 07-29-03, 11:23 AM	Felicity rolls her eyes. "Whatever."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-29-03, 08:29 PM	Nocturan shakes his head. "Apathy scheming. Apathy sense of humor dwindling. This can't be good." He stands up and walks back to his commandeered room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Nugan 07-30-03, 11:13 PM	Nugan winces as the door slams. He then turns to the others with a smirk. "What was he saying about a dwindling sense of humor?" ((Hmm... This thread's gotten a bit dead lately. Maybe it has something to do w/ the pushing back of the robbery. At any rate, think its time for a new event (like the party) or atleast a time laspe?))
Grineck Cut-tooth 07-31-03, 09:39 PM	Grineck walks back up to the guild hall, raps on the doors twice with his cane, then pushes them open seeing as they're unlocked. He struts inside, the feather in his hat bobbing with each step, tapping his cane on the floor as he moves along. He looks around and looks to Nugan. "Where's the big lizard? The cheapskate fergot ta pay his beer bill."
Straak 07-31-03, 09:40 PM	Straak stumbles through the front door, holding a wet cloth to his head. "Yah Boss... I'm, ya know, here to start work..." Straak collapses into his chair and lets out a small moan. "Well... Maybe in, ya know, five minutes..." Straak closes his eyes and lets out another moan.
Nugan 07-31-03, 09:50 PM	Nugan turns to Grineck and gestures towards Nocturan's room. "Noc's in there, you might want to be... tactful... I think he may be in an iffy mood..." Nugan shoots Straak a smirk. "What's wrong Straak? One would think you drank too much or something..."
Nocturan Deadfall 07-31-03, 09:51 PM	Nocturan blinks a bit as he hears the sound of Grineck's cane, then looks around, making sure that his door is locked. He looks around and sneers at the lack of a window. . o O ( Damnit, I hoped the little runt would forget about the bill.... And there's no way for me to get out of here without paying. If I had the money it would be one thing.... )
Grineck Cut-tooth 07-31-03, 09:57 PM	Grineck gives a nod to Nugan. He heads over to Nocturan's door, muttering to himself under his breath in goblin. "Iffy mood my goblin arse.... I'll show the damn lizard an iffy mood.... Damn deadbeat reptile...." Grineck slams the tip of his cane against the door harshly several times. "Hey Noc! Open up! Ya fergot ta pay yer bill ya big dumb lizard!"
Nocturan Deadfall 07-31-03, 10:06 PM	Nocturan winces as he hears the cane striking his door, he gets up and walks over, leaning his shoulder into the door to block it completely. "Go away shrimp, I don't have your damn money. Go leech off of someone else, someone who actually cares about your little business schemes." . o O ( Why the hell don't I get payed to work for a demon? It's a high risk job, where's the money? ) "Just leave and I won't have to go out there and break your neck."
Grineck Cut-tooth 08-01-03, 03:07 AM	Grineck blinks and bashes on the door again. "Whaddya mean ya don't have tha money?! It's only three gold ya dumb lizard! How can ya not have three lousy gold?!" He shakes his head and marches back over to the table, his hat falling down over his eyes about halfway, causing him to stumble. He resets his hat with the top of his cane grumbling. "Damn hat...." He finishes getting to the table and posts off his cane onto a chair, landing perfectly and tapping the tabletop once with the end of his cane, sitting at the table with his feet up.
frost_dagger 08-01-03, 05:17 PM	Sivex quietly enters the guildhall, taking note of the visible improvement of the place, particularly the new doors and locking system. Very little changed from the swordsman's appearance, except now he seems unarmed without the sword that he loves to display. " Good day everyone. " the young messenger greets them. He nods respectfully to Nugan, showing high admiration for the guildmaster. " Well now. " he continues, smiling to the rest. " All seems to be in high spirits. Does that mean Mister Fredregar finally left this world? "
Nugan 08-01-03, 08:22 PM	Nugan nods to Sivex. "Hello Sivex. Its been..." Nugan blinks. "Fredregar? ... Ohhh, you mean Gramps? Come to think of it... He hasn't done anything in a few hours... I'm thinking that could be either a good or a very bad thing..."
Felicity_Rauston 08-01-03, 11:02 PM	Felicity nods sleepily to Sivex. "Someone steal your sword?"
Old_Hermit 08-02-03, 11:51 AM	The old one sits up and rubs his eyes "huh.. what.." then he sees Grineck "Ohh! What an adorable little gnome!" then he scowels at sivex "well... " he sticks out his tongue out at him
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-02-03, 11:59 AM	Asthnar the Illithid nods to sivex as he enters from his place leening against the wall that the doors attach to. ((hey sharp/manger. wasn't asthnar suposed to help you with the recon thingy?? just double checkin ))
frost_dagger 08-02-03, 04:47 PM	Sivex simply chuckles, too proud to admit his folly. " A long story. " The lad politely nods to the old hermit and the mindflayer. " Ah. Always good to see you two... alive. " His gaze turns to the halfling woman, smiling to her sweetly, before shifting to the unusual goblin. This swordsman eyes the creature with much interest. " Oh. What.. Who, do we have here? "
Nocturan Deadfall 08-02-03, 09:56 PM	Nocturan relaxes a bit as he hears Grineck walk away. He walks back over to his bed and sits, opening the cask and taking a drink. . o O ( Lousy goblin and his good memory.... )
Grineck Cut-tooth 08-02-03, 10:03 PM	Grineck glances at the hermit and smirks. "I'ma goblin not a gnome ya nutcase. What tha hells is wrong with ya?" He turns to egard Sivex for a moment. "Tha name's Grineck, Grineck Cut-tooth. I'm only hear 'til tha big lizard pays his beer bill." He trails off slowly, muttering. "Big dumb lizard...."
Sharp 08-03-03, 01:01 AM	"Hello again, sivex," Sharp says absently, openeing her pack and rummaging for some food inside it. Now why is everyone so concerned about the goblin? Why not leave him alone? Did they really have nothing better to do? (( I think Asthnar is indeed supposed to help with the recon...thing is Mnager still has not gotten back to me as to when we can do this. There is not too much longer to the actual theft...so I don't know what will be with this. Hey Manger! You listening? :D ;)))
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-03-03, 05:38 AM	The Wraith of House to House Combat appears in the entrance of the guildhall, a tear dripping from her pinkish eye. "Weapons of Impact and Fire have wrought death on children and the defenseless...and there's nothing i could do about it." Wraith shrugs. "Oh well time to underaged-drink off my problems."
Nugan 08-03-03, 03:52 PM	Nugan stares blank at the wraith for a momment befire shrugging. "Well, that's a new one..." Nugan sighs. "I remember the good old days when stuff like that could shock me..." ((lolol. Welcome back Wraith. :) Will we be seeing Biantium again soon?)) ((Edit: Sharp, I think Manger mentioned going somewhere with his family on the last page Maybe he's still away.))
frost_dagger 08-03-03, 05:15 PM	" Halt. " the young swordsman commands the goblin. " 'Big lizard', you say? Ah, so Mister Nocturan's here as well? " Sivex seems puzzled about the lizardman's real intent, but quickly reminds himself not to get on its way. A quick blade simply do not work against several hundred pounds of steel and flesh. The lad shrugs, turning back his attention to the odd goblin. " Anyway, I offer a business proposal, good sir. I've taken much interest in your hat, and I intend to bargain for it. " The swordsman nods absently, staring at Grineck's feathered hat. " Tell you what. I'll pay the money Mister Nocturan owes you, with a few extra coins for the hat. Think about it, Mister Cut-tooth sir. You'll get your payment, be spared the anger of a drunk lizardman, and still be home for dinner. Besides, that hat doesnt fit you all that well. So, do we have a deal? "
Nugan 08-03-03, 06:23 PM	Nugan stiffles a laugh as he hears Sivex's proposal. "A bit much for a hat that's been on a dead man and a goblin, don't you think? I mean, it is quite the hat, but..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 08-03-03, 10:23 PM	Grineck nods a bit at first. "Yeah, Noc's in there." He motions to the door where Nocturan has stowed himself. He blinks as he hears Sivex's offer for his hat, turning his head quickly to face him. "What's that about my hat?..." He's cut off as his hat falls down over his eyes, the feather bobbing a bit as he resets it with the top of his cane and mutters. "Damn hat...." Regaining his composure he looks at Sivex once more. "It's my hat an' I ain't gonna sell it. I went through this with some orc back when the portals ta Juxta and tha Tavern were all crossed up and sent me ta that damn cloud place with tha creepy bears. It's my hat an' I intend ta keep it!"
frost_dagger 08-04-03, 04:28 PM	Sivex smirks, his interest on the feathered hat only heightened by Grineck's reaction. " I see. Something tells me that there's more about that garment than casual display. Something about its..its.. I honestly cannot explain it. Enchanted perhaps? I must find out. " Sivex gives Nugan a knowing look. " Sir, you must understand that I've been taught not to overlook hidden opportunities, potentials, wealth and value. Human greed is an excellent mentor, you see. " The lad turns back to Grineck, bringing out a slender knife from his kimono's sleeves. He starts walking towards the goblin, smiling coldly as he steps closer. " And Im sorry to hear about your ordeal in Carealot. Sadly, not many survived that incident. "
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-04-03, 05:42 PM	Asthnar chuckles at the actions of sivex Well.. i didnt see that one coming ((maybe we should think about doin the recon without manger:( ))
Nugan 08-04-03, 06:05 PM	Nugan smirks at Sivex as he draws the knife. "Wow, you must really want that hat..." Nugan slips his left hand under the table and into a pocket in his robes. ((Asthnar> Perhaps you and Sharp should consider that. I don't want Manger to feel left out, but the robbery is this weekend. You could also email Manger's player and see if he's back yet.))
Grineck Cut-tooth 08-04-03, 08:39 PM	Grineck's eyes pop wide open as he sees the knife. "Hey, wha... whad'ya think yer gonna do with that?! Ya damn lunatic!" Grineck leaps out of his chair and, ducking his head slightly, rushes beneath the table. He looks around in every possible direction and mutters. "Now... where in the Nine did I put that thing..." He starts to pat at his pockets as he searches for something he carries there, his eyes frantic with worry.
Sharp 08-04-03, 10:17 PM	Sharp was quite unconcerned with the goblin, but watched anyhow...just in case... ((You are right, we just may have to do recon anyway. I will try to email Manger...meanwhile, Asthnar, when would you be free to do this?))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-04-03, 10:21 PM	asthnar expected a great show, so watched with joy (( almost any time ^_^ ))
frost_dagger 08-05-03, 04:56 PM	Sivex slowly walks closer.. closer... ....And then he stops just a few feet away from Grineck's table, bends low to meet the goblin with his never changing expression. " Be practical, Mister Cut-tooth sir. I want that item, and I will have it. No point sacrificing your life for something that was never yours to begin with. Now I strongly suggest to hand over that hat, take your coins and leave this place. " the young swordsman says calmly to Grineck, all the while glancing at the goblin's pockets. " Ah, you seem to have some sort of trick for such desperate situations. Make sure that its your best move my friend, because you wont be having another turn. " Sivex flashes the knife, promising Grineck that he meant those words.
Nugan 08-05-03, 05:08 PM	Nugan glances at Sivex and Grineck nervously. "You two sure this is really neccessary? ... I'm sure there's plenty of dead people with ugly hats to go around." Nugan turns to Sharp. "In fact, didn't you say something about a war going around where you come from, Sharp? ... I'm sure they have hat-wearing corpses for all..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-05-03, 06:04 PM	oh shut your yamering skull cave nugan. this is the most fun with apathy ive ever had. besides.. murder for a hat should after all be right up apathy's aly. and if word got out i supose it could increase your reputation and with that asthnar chuckled Yes sivex! Mame! Destroy! bwahahahaha
Nugan 08-05-03, 08:16 PM	Nugan shrugs and makes a gesture. o0(Asthnar> Well, I have to atleast pretend to care. Its part of the job. Still... I guess this is pretty fun to watch...) Nugan removes something from his pocket and sets it on his lap, keeping his left hand on it under the table. "Come now... Let's not... Ah, I'm not even gonna try..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-05-03, 09:54 PM	Nugan> i supose.. but gitting off the point: why is it you insist on useing your telepathy magics? you know i can read your mind and such. or are we just trying to be a good boy for daddy and use what he paid so much for you to learn.. heh heh
Nugan 08-05-03, 10:04 PM	Nugan smirks. o0(Asthnar> Now that hurt... We all know what a sore subject Dad is to me... Anyway, I suppose its that I'd rather know what I'm saying to you. Gives me a little bit of power over the situation.)
Grineck Cut-tooth 08-05-03, 11:00 PM	Grineck smirks slightly as he continues to search his pockets. . o O ( Yeah, I'll show ya a trick ya damn loon.... Now... Where'd I put that thing the other lunatic gave me fer a time like this.... ) His hands move frantically from pocket to pocket until finally, he pulls out a small glass vial, filled with a red liquid. . o O ( Ahh, there it is! ) He looks directly at Sivex and speaks confidently. "So, ya like ta pick on little goblins with hats do ya? Well, guess what? That's a bad habit ta get inta!" He mutters and gestures with his free hand, sending a small beam of force shaped like a hand (( Magic Missile )), that aims to slap Sivex across the jaw. At the same instant, he throws the vial to the ground and mutters a short phrase. . o O ( Man.... I hope this works.... )
Nocturan Deadfall 08-05-03, 11:10 PM	Nocturan half blinks as he listens to the commotion going on in the main hallway. He takes another swig of his beer and remains seated on the bed in 'his' room. . o O ( That's it Sivex, drive the little worm out of here so that I don't have to pay that damn bill.... ) He leans back and relaxes a little, calmly continuing to listen to the goings on in the guild hall.
Straak 08-05-03, 11:17 PM	Straak, who was awakened by the sound of breaking glass, opens his eyes and groans slightly. "Yah... I'll, ya know, clean that up in a..." Straak jumps to the floor and draws his dagger as he spots the fight. He looks to Nugan "Boss... What's, ya know, going on?"
Nugan 08-05-03, 11:22 PM	Nugan turns to Straak with a sigh. "They're fighting over a dead man's hat... No, really." Nugan shoots an uneasy glance at the action. "Come to think of it, maybe this is how the guy died... That or he had a nice pair of shoes too..."
Xerneth Karjen 08-05-03, 11:29 PM	As the glass vial shatters and the liquid is spilt onto the floor, a sudden rush of chill air sweeps into the hall from the doorway, despite the doors being shut tight. A black mist begins to swirl in a shadowed corner, a pair of red pin points of light appearing near the top of the swirl....
Nugan 08-05-03, 11:33 PM	Nugan shivers and looks towards the lights. "There is absolutely no possible way that could be good..." Nugan tightens his grip on the object in his lap, and gives Straak a worried glance.
Felicity_Rauston 08-05-03, 11:38 PM	Felicity watches the black mist swirl with a vaguely amused grin. "Aaaaand we have a visitor!" She tosses a look at Sivex and Grineck. "Cut it out, will ya? Don't want to turn this place into a pigsty--wait, it already is. Never mind. Just don't kill the gnome, Siv."
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 12:10 AM	The black mists continue to thicken and coalesce, slowly becoming nearly solid. A vaguely humanoid form appears to be taking shape, with the two pin points of light at the center. As a matter of moments pass, the shape becomes thicker and finally solidifies. A cloaked man, standing a mere five and a half feet tall, with an elaborately made crossbow slung over his right shoulder appears in the shadowed corner, the two pin points of light peering out from beneath a heavy hood that conceals his face. He raises his crossbow with his right hand and aims the stock directly at the back of Sivex's head. "Drop the knife and back away from that pathetic little wretch this instant." His voice is chilled and shows no emotion whatsoever, yet is tainted by a slight drowic accent, suggesting that he is not speaking in his native language. He stands perfectly still, keeping the loaded crossbow aimed for his target, his free hand moving to steady the stock.
Sharp 08-06-03, 12:16 AM	Wars? Bah! Still no cause to kill over hats...WHA!?!!?!??!!?? In the commotion she quietly slipped away to a place from where she could watch unseen. There ya go, Sivex. That'll teach you not to pick on little people!
Nugan 08-06-03, 12:23 AM	Nugan lets out an annoyed sighs and lifts a hand crossbow from his lap, pointing it at the newcomer's head. "How about you drop the crossbow and explain where you came from... That or atleast leave without shooting poor Sivex...."
Straak 08-06-03, 12:27 AM	Straak gulps and waves his dagger at Xerneth. "Yah... I'd listen to tha boss..."
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 12:34 AM	The cloaked figure glances slightly at Nugan and Straak, a smirk crossing his face beneath the deep hood. His crossbow doesn't move in the least bit, not even deviating a matter of an inch. "I wouldn't suggest threatening me... It has yet to prove advantageous to any who have done so in the past..." He remains calm, his voice unwaiveringly calm, lacking any form of caring whatsoever...
Nugan 08-06-03, 12:41 AM	Nugan sighs uneasily, but leaves his crossbow aimed at Xerneth's head. "Oh good, its another of these people... Listen, this isn't Juxta. I'm not a god, you're not a god. I do, however, have a room full of allies. You do not. Please lower the crossbow... Thanks."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-06-03, 12:43 AM	asthnar stands and becomes translucent Hmph. he has some nerve to just barge in here like that.. well not barge.. and i think it makes things more interesting.. so what the hell. asthnar withdraws a slender metal caped wand from a pocket of his black robes.
Old_Hermit 08-06-03, 12:49 AM	While everyones attention was els-where the old one sliped away to a wall where he climbed it to the ceiling where he crawled accross it to a point above the new comer. after nugan finished he statement the old one let go after murmering a spell. that spell being stoneskin
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 12:52 AM	The cloaked man smirks even wider, taking a second glance at Nugan and looking a bit more closely, as if studying his face. He then glances around the room at Nugan's allies, looking toward their eyes. "As true as this may be, your allies do not seem the most steadfast or fearsome in any sense. Just have the lad leave the goblin alone and there will be no problem."
Nugan 08-06-03, 12:56 AM	Nugan raises his eyebrows as the Hermit falls and smirks at Xerneth. "Oh no... They aren't steadfast at all... Nonetheless, I think I'll stick to my demands..." Nugan flexes his finger on the crossbow trigger.
Grineck Cut-tooth 08-06-03, 12:58 AM	Grineck siezes the opportunity created by the prescence of Xerneth and scurries out from beneath the table, rushing to the doors and swiftly outside, holding his hat as he runs, his cane not even touching the ground. All that is heard as he leaves is a frantic: "Thanks X!"
Nugan 08-06-03, 01:07 AM	Nugan sighs as Grineck jets outside, then turns to Xerneth. "Well, I guess this whole thing is pointless now... So why don't we just call a truce or something..." Nugan gestures to his crossbow. "What do we have to lose?"
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 01:08 AM	The cloaked being smirks, the pin points of light fading as the hermit is about to make impact, the crossbow dropping to the floor. The cloak crushes to the floor beneath the Stoneskinned man as a black mist flows out from beneath it, before the figure resolidifies from his gaseous form. The drow man stands there, his pitch black skin now visible as is his stark white hair and glowing red eyes. He is covered by black armor made from webbing and has a set of axes at his sides, along with several pieces of torturing equipment. He mutters and his cloak vanishes, reappearing around him once more, the hood recovering his face as he speaks. "Clever, old one. Clever indeed. Perhaps you folks aren't as pathetic as you had seemed to be..." The crossbow suddenly shudders and changes form into that of a small demonic creature, roughly four feet tall and covered in spines and barbs.
Nugan 08-06-03, 01:10 AM	Nugan winces as Old Hermit hits the floor before shooting Xerneth a smirk. "Now that was cheap... Anyway, truce?"
Old_Hermit 08-06-03, 01:10 AM	the old one twitches twice then jumps to his feet and trys to stomp the little creature
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 01:18 AM	The cloaked drow turns toward Nugan with a smirk, "A truce you say? Upon what terms?" The small fiend glares at the hermit and swings its forearm at him, launching several bone shards into the air like projectiles aimed for the hermit's shoulders, hoping to pin his robes to the wall behind him.
Nugan 08-06-03, 01:20 AM	Nugan shrugs. "I don't know... How about, We don't kill you, you don't kill any of us. That sounds good to me."
Old_Hermit 08-06-03, 01:21 AM	Nugans curtain makes the robes the old one wears. these get stuck to the wall and under them the old one wears his other ratty brown ones. he eeps and runs to flicks old room
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 01:26 AM	[I]The drow pauses, then smirks a bit, giving a slight nod to Nugan, "Very well...I will agree to such a truce...For now at least." He turns and looks at his fiendish friend and speaks a harsh word in drowic, causing the fiend to stop in mid motion and leap up, reverting to its crossbow form. He slings the crossbow over his right shoulder and crosses his arms, leaning back against the wall. "Say...You wouldn't by any chance be Nugan, would you?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-06-03, 01:26 AM	Asthnar seems disapointed. What a let-down.. oh well. Ever apathy Asthnar chuckles (( hey sharp, any word from manger?))
Sharp 08-06-03, 01:26 AM	That is a wonderful idea... She rolled her eyes...and then continued to work out the bast escape route directly form her concealment. That was about when the fight ended. In seconds she was back in her seat by Manger. ((No. *sigh* Lets just do this tomorrow evening if you can.))
Nugan 08-06-03, 01:30 AM	Nugan smirks, lowering his crossbow. "The one and only... Well, one of two that I know of, but I'm guessing you aren't looking for my Dad. Then again, you look a little like his kind of person..." Nugan winces at a thought. "You're not supposed to kill me or something, are you?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-06-03, 01:33 AM	(( reesa gona be on then? ))
Nocturan Deadfall 08-06-03, 01:33 AM	Nocturan gets up, hearing all of the commotion, and walks to the door, slamming his tankard down on his makeshift table. Opening the door with a loud thud, the big lizardman walks out, ducking through the doorway and looking around. He grins a bit as he sees Grineck has left, then his face darkens a bit as he sees Xerneth. "Great, uninvited company...."
Sharp 08-06-03, 01:35 AM	She found herself hoping for some odd reason that the answer to Nugan's last question was "no". ((I have no idea. ))
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 01:38 AM	The drow smirks, "No, I'm not supposed to kill you. I recognize you from a description a very strange person I know gave me. You should know her...Dresses in white, hat that says 'thief', tendancy to enjoy graveyards a bit too much... What the hell was that freak's name?.."
Nugan 08-06-03, 01:45 AM	Nugan chuckles. "Well, unless there's another graverobbing woman in white that knows my name... That would be Biantium." Nugan forces an uncomfortable smirk. "Somehow your knowing her doesn't put my mind at ease." ((I'm not sure whether or not Reesa will be on shift. I don't think so though. Maybe you two could think of some way of doing recon without her?))
Nocturan Deadfall 08-06-03, 01:46 AM	Nocturan walks back into his room, picks up his tankard, and refills it. He then walks back out into the main hall and over to an empty chair which he drops into, causing the piece of furniture to grown from the pressure of his near half-ton weight. He leans back and shakes his head. "Some things about this place never change...."
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 01:55 AM	The drow snickers, "Yes, Biantium, that's her. And you certainly shouldn't be put at ease by that. If I were you, I wouldn't be at ease with anything even remotely associated with that psychopath." He smirks, "Back when I dealt with her, she wouldn't stop talking about you. I'd watch your back around her..."
Nugan 08-06-03, 01:59 AM	Nugan suppreses a shiver. "I'm not sure if I should ask, but... What did she say?"
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 02:14 AM	The drow surpresses a snicker as he speaks, "Oh, nothing to abominable...Just something about how she wants you to have her children or some such rubbish. Bloody nutcase..." As he finishes speaking, he reaches to his side and pulls forth a flask filled with a red liquid and takes a drink, letting his hood fall back. He smirks enough to show that his teeth are now stained red from the drink...
Nugan 08-06-03, 02:17 AM	Nugan doesn't manage to supress a shiver this time. "Her children? I'm not even going to begin to explain what's wrong with that..." Nugan forces a smirk. "Oh well, now that you're here, you might as well make yourself at home... Looks like you've started to anyway..."
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 02:25 AM	The drow nods a bit, then smirks, "Make myself at home? Not nearly enough pain in this place for that...Or dead bodies strewn about the floor...At any rate, what sort of operation is it that you run here Nugan? Some sort of halfway house?"
Nugan 08-06-03, 02:33 AM	Nugan chuckles. "Pretty much... Although I originally intended it to be a thieves guild... The old guy and the metal lizard kinda destroyed that idea."
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 02:47 AM	The drow smirks, "Is that so..." He looks at the hermit and Nocturan for a moment, and then back to Nugan. "A thieves guild eh? I'd wager you make enemies rather easily...Enemies that need to be dealt with...Would I be correct in this?"
Nugan 08-06-03, 02:52 AM	Nugan smirks. "How did you ever guess? Yes, we have our share... Why do I have a feeling this is leading somewhere?"
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 03:27 AM	The drow snickers, "You think far too highly of your guild Nugan. My questions merely sought answers, nothing further. I care not if you have enemies or don't have them; it is none of my concern, nor will it become so." He turns to look at his crossbow and seems to be listening to it somehow, though it doesn't speak. He turns back to Nugan, "Just make certain that your lackeys don't threaten that goblin. I hate it when my informants are put in needless danger because of someone who can't control his people..."
Nugan 08-06-03, 03:38 AM	Nugan raises his eyebrows. "Informant? So that's what this was all about... I suppose you wouldn't tell me what he 'informs' you of..."
Xerneth Karjen 08-06-03, 03:49 AM	The drow shrugs a bit, "The goblin finds things that I can't. Short beings can infilrtrate better than a drow, thus, it is natural. He gathers information for me, I make sure he doesn't get killed over his hat..." He gives a glance at Sivex as he says those words to make sure that his point is made.
Felicity_Rauston 08-06-03, 12:10 PM	Felicity snickers. "Mouthy drow. Why don't you tell us all about your evil plans, now, while you're at it? Hey, windbag! Bring me a pot of gold, and make it snappy!"
Sharp 08-06-03, 02:43 PM	Nugan! Why are you even having this conversation!! She kept her eyes on the drow, her expression neutral...andher mouth closed.
frost_dagger 08-06-03, 06:10 PM	Knocked back a few minutes ago by the Grineck's magic, Sivex is now up and already planning his next course of action. The missiles stung of course, but hardly inflicted any serious wound. Awhile back he considered to pursue the fleeing goblin, but now things just got a little more complicated. This swordsman gives a silent praise to the cowardly goblin for having such a powerful allies (He believes there has to be more around) and that will only make his prize a bit more difficult to retrieve. Difficult, but never impossible. Sivex turns to the drow, his smile pleasant and welcoming. " Vedui, Mister dark skinned elf sir. Oh, and nice little demonic weapon of terror you have there. Maybe I'll get one for myself, after I've finished with Mister Cut-tooth. " The young man nods, confident that he will get his feathered hat. Then he starts walking towards the door, knife in hand. " I do not think our sneaky friend got that far. Hai. This should be an exciting chase. Sayonara, everyone. " Sivex chuckles as he makes an exit.
Nugan 08-06-03, 06:39 PM	Nugan raises his hand to wave to Sivex, but is interrupted by the door slamming shut. "Err... Good luck Sivex..." Nugan chuckles at Felicity then turns to Xerneth with a smirk. "You heard the woman..."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-06-03, 07:54 PM	(( heh, i forgot.. well then nvm this))
Xerneth Karjen 08-07-03, 03:11 AM	The drow man smirks as he glances at Felicity, "If what I just said wasn't already obvious, then perhaps you people really are as worthless as first seemed..." He turns back to Nugan, "Remember, keep your people from killing my people, and there won't be a problem." And with that, he disperses, cloak and crossbow with him, into a black mist that fades from sight moments later...
Felicity_Rauston 08-07-03, 12:00 PM	Felicity raises a brow. "He has people? Uh huh."
Nugan 08-07-03, 12:53 PM	Nugan smirks at Xerneth as he leaves. "Well, I'll have to think about it..." Nugan turns to Felicity and shrugs. "He has the goblin and that living crossbow thingy... That's kinda like people..."
Sharp 08-07-03, 08:06 PM	Sharp had long since slipped out with Asthnar... ((Nugan, we have stuff to report when next you time lapse this thread))
Nugan 08-07-03, 09:00 PM	((I see no reason not to put in a time-laspe, so its now six hours later and in the late evening hours)) Nugan is laying back in his chair, drumming his fingers on the guildhall table. He sighs. "You know.... Sometimes it seems like everything happens at once and at other times hours will go by without incident... Guess that's life..."
Sharp 08-07-03, 10:12 PM	Sharp reentered the guildhall some way other than the front door. She was also wearing her speacial boot clasps and making no sound. When she had moved unseen to nugan's elbow, she poked him.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-07-03, 10:15 PM	asthnar faded in to stand at his useual place
Nugan 08-07-03, 11:22 PM	Nugan jumps from his seat as Sharp pokes him. He spins arounds and sighs in relief/annoyance when he sees her. "Looks like you got those silent shoe-thingys to work..." Nugan sinks back into his chair. "So, how'd it go?"
Sharp 08-07-03, 11:38 PM	"Well, it didn't go like we expected," she began...
Nugan 08-07-03, 11:42 PM	Nugan raises his eyebrows. "Oh? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
Sharp 08-07-03, 11:44 PM	"Um...well..." She sighs. "Allright. We have to just be totally random here. Nothing plotted. They expect it now!" She shot a glower at Asthnar.
Nugan 08-07-03, 11:55 PM	Nugan sighs, shifting his gaze between Asthnar and Sharp. "What did you two do? Don't tell me you pulled off this thing worse than even I would have..."
Sharp 08-08-03, 12:05 AM	She continues to glower, though not at Nugan. "There were some complications," she grumbled. "We steal from a marshal right there in the market. Unexpected. That is the best way."
Nugan 08-08-03, 12:11 AM	Nugan sighs. "Complications? I suppose you're right about making it sudden..." Nugan smirks. "It went that bad, did it?"
Sharp 08-08-03, 12:23 AM	"No actaully it was going fine, until..." It was her turn to sigh. "Never mind. I think we would have reached the same conclusion anyway. I wouldn't say that if I didn't trust it to be true."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 12:25 AM	Snarls and stalks quickly up to sharp where he (if he catches her) grabs her by her shirt and lifts her to eye level his sending is loud Now you listin her you ungrateful little brat. i was soaked, charred, and my back still hurts. i lost an entier set of robes and my leg is still in pain. i was embarassed by that damned golem and the marshals. I dont know about you but my reputation matters to me. I will not tolerate this.
Nugan 08-08-03, 12:27 AM	Nugan nods. "Probably... Still, I can't stand the suspense created by that 'until'. Why don't you share the whole story and save me a bit of anxiety?" Nugan flinches as Asthnar snatches at Sharp. "Waoh... Careful there Asthnar. Where did this come from?"
Sharp 08-08-03, 12:28 AM	Sharp is not caught, but hears asthnar's mental words loud and clear. "Bah!" She shouts from the rafters.
Sharp 08-08-03, 12:32 AM	"Nugan, the Marshal was buying my act. Completely. But I couldn't get her on the subject of her real job, so I asked asthnar to "attack me". This particualr wizo was being a real...well...she reacted very strongly, and asthnar ended up getting...in big trouble. "He had to tell her I asked him to do it to avoid getting in more trouble. That gave me away. Ok? No one's fault! Happy?"
Nugan 08-08-03, 12:40 AM	Nugan raises his eyebrows. "Which Marshal was this?"
Sharp 08-08-03, 12:44 AM	"Uh...Nashara...? Nerissa? ...Narisha..." She snaps her fingers. "Nashira!...yes that was it."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 12:44 AM	asthnar slowly turns to face nugan. then looks to the rafters. Why you lying little whelp... Nugan.. i need not of this. why in the 9 hells would i tell a marshal ANYTHING other than "wow you taste good"
Sharp 08-08-03, 12:47 AM	"You didn't say anything?" She sounds incredulous. "How else would she suddenly know?"
Nugan 08-08-03, 12:50 AM	Nugan shifts back and forth uncomfortably in his chair as he listens. "Well... I might know one way she might have found out..." ((Edit: Typo hunting))
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 12:50 AM	mockingly maybe your just very very skilled...
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 12:52 AM	shifts his gaze back to nugan
Nugan 08-08-03, 12:58 AM	Nugan gulps a bit. "She kinda knows me... and she also kinda knows what business I'm in... and she just may kinda know that you two work for me..." Nugan forces a smirk. "Or maybe it was the Mindflayer's fault."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 12:59 AM	glares at nugan and feels a wand in his pocket. i do not work for you. it was a favor.
Sharp 08-08-03, 01:04 AM	Sharp groans from her spot in the rafters...which changes every few minutes. "Can we forget about fault and just keep working? We can still steal from the marshals."
Nugan 08-08-03, 01:10 AM	Nugan nods. "True... One good thing about it being Nashira is that she won't inform the other Marshals... I think. That's sorta the problem with that kind of law enforcers. If they aren't doing their job, they probably aren't very trustworthy..." Nugan shrugs. 'Oh well. How are we going to do this then?"
Sharp 08-08-03, 01:12 AM	"Simple. Create a situation or several situations that would take up a marshal's attention. Crimes and Newcomers seem to be the biggest marshal distractions."
Nugan 08-08-03, 01:20 AM	Nugan nods. "Sounds like a plan. I mean, as much as we ever use those..." Nugan turns to address everyone. "Ok... I'll go in first and scope out whoever it is. Then we'll need some of you to provide a distraction. We'll also need a few of you to steal whatever it is there is to steal... Any volunteers?"
Sharp 08-08-03, 01:24 AM	Sharp climbed down out of the rafters. "Some one else can make diversions this time. I just want to do my theiving."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 02:09 AM	Annoying a marshal and cauzing trouble.. I supose that makes my choice for me.
Old_Hermit 08-08-03, 02:26 AM	"And I shall take it upon myself to preform the theft" the old one smiles
Nugan 08-08-03, 02:37 AM	Nugan suppresses a shiver. "Oh... Good... I guess there would be no talking you out of that, would there Gramps?"
Old_Hermit 08-08-03, 04:10 AM	"Aw, dont worrie dearest grandson. im tough."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 05:43 AM	Nocturan shakes his head as he thinks things over for a moment, then mutters. "Ah hell, count me in for the distraction. With what I've just overheard, I know enough to implicate myself anyway, so I might as well do something...." He shakes his head a bit more. . o O ( Volunteering to do work for Apathy.... This is a new low Noc.... )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 05:47 AM	asthnar looks to noc To noc: What, you think i like it here? It takes up my spare time and gives me somewhere the marshals arnt gonna just barge into. personaly, i dont much care for nugan and his guild about as much as you.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 05:55 AM	Nocturan glances at Asthnar. . o O ( This damn guild is little more than that. A place where the Marshalls leave us alone. I wouldn't even be stuck in this rodents' nest if it wasn't for the roof over my head. Damn no pay job working for the fiends.... )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 05:56 AM	Noc: What do you do for them?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:00 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> Typical demolition work mostly. Fight in their wars, kill things, break things. Standard demonic employment. Except it doesn't pay at all except for in manes. Ever try trading a mane for a tankard of beer? It doesn't work on the Prime.... )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 06:01 AM	asthnar chuckles Noc: Yes.. sounds like fun tho. why do you keep working for them if you dont get pay? i mean.. you couldnt even give the goblin its 3 gold,..
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:07 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> Like I said, they trade in manes. Souls go at a high rate in the lower planes but are... frowned upon elsewhere. It's an unfortunate byproduct of limitted resources. )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 06:10 AM	Hmm.. its too bad. If they paid in coin i'd offer my servises.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:18 AM	Nocturan shrugs mentally. . o O ( Asthnar> It's worth it if you're a demon, then the damned things can help you gain higher status, but if you're a mortal like me or you, you're pretty much stuck with a very weak servitor demon. They make nice kicking toys though.... )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 06:20 AM	Noc: ever plan to leave them? or is this your job for life?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:26 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm half machine. I don't have much choice in what line of work I have, it's been preprogrammed in me what I can and can't do. )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 06:29 AM	raises the skin where an eye brow would go Noc: wow.. it seems to me you have all of your own free will. i assumed the mechaniks onley kept you alive and moving. more like gear. Hmm.. Were you built or modifyed? and at that who did it?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:36 AM	Nocturan smirks. . o O ( Asthnar> Built, created, altered, I don't even know anymore at this point. I was born a normal lizardfolk, then modified into a lesser version of what I am now. Then I self destructed in battle and wound up like this. Whatever the nine hells this is... )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 06:40 AM	Noc: I assume those who you work for made you into the lesser you? but wait.. You worked for apathy for a while didnt you?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:51 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> Yeah, the demons made me what I am, and what I was before that. And yes, I did work for Apathy, that was how I wound up self-desctructing.... )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 06:54 AM	ponders for a moment Noc: So why did they let you work for apathy?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 06:58 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> I'm still not sure on that one myself. I was never given a reason other than, 'Do as you're told." and the like. I guess they're just to apathetic to inform me. )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 07:03 AM	Asthnar chuckles again Noc: interesting. so you have free will, but have limits on what your allowed to do. You were told to work with apathy for reasons no one knows but them. Your not paid in coin but are in other ways. And as for who exactly did this you havnt a clue. i got that? Oh.. and also, if you could, would you go back to how you were?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 07:06 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> I know that this was done by a demon named Nogard, he's responsible for it, not sure of much else though. Other than that, you've got a good grasp on it. I don't think I would go back to how I was before the mechanizations, I don't really remember that time anymore. )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 07:08 AM	asthnar hmms Noc: i know ive heard something like that befor..nogaurd..Nogard Cinaclov?
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 07:12 AM	Nocturan nods mentally. . o O ( Asthnar> That's him alright. Demon king of Wrath and the one responsible for mechanizing foolish mortals who wind up in his realm. Like me for example. )
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 07:14 AM	winces at a thought Noc: yes.. i met him once.. the day the strange happy place of clouds came..
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 07:16 AM	. o O ( Asthnar> Yeah, I remember that damn day as well. Had orders to strike that much.... cuteness out of existence. Fortunately, it didn't last for long. )
Nugan 08-08-03, 02:01 PM	Nugan watches as Nocturan and Asthnar stare at each other. "So... You're in then Noc? And everyone else?" ((Awww... you guys pushed it past 500 without me. Oh well, atleast we made it there. :) ))
Sharp 08-08-03, 02:15 PM	Sharp is looking at everyone in turn, noting and calculating...
Felicity_Rauston 08-08-03, 03:25 PM	Felicity breezes in. "So when're we doing the burgling?"
Nugan 08-08-03, 06:14 PM	Nugan shrugs. "How about tommorrow? Say 9-ish... Juxta time, of course." ((Yeah, I know. The time frame for the Guildhall is kinda iffy, but you guys get the idea.))
Sharp 08-08-03, 07:29 PM	"That works." She looked up at Nocturan. "Do you have a cue for me, or shall I just decide when to move on my own?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 08:20 PM	Nocturan looks at Sharp and shrugs slightly. "All depends on how extreme a distraction we intend to make. General chaos and destruction? Maybe attack some 'random', re: Undercover Apathy member, innocent, we all know that the Marshalls are the only ones who seem to respond to that, could make for a rather convincing distraction...."
Nugan 08-08-03, 09:06 PM	Nugan sinks back into his chair and props his feet up on the table. "I'd say the more spontaneous it looks the better... Maybe we should just move in and improvise the whole thing. Don't want it to look forced. Its going to be suspicious looking enough without that..." Nugan smirks. "Then again, that whole planning thing never really appealed to me..."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 09:25 PM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan. "You don't like planning? Never would have guessed it."
Straak 08-08-03, 09:38 PM	Straak walks out of one of the member quarters, mop in hand. "Yah boss... ya can count me in. I'll, ya know, help with tha robbery. That being my area of training and all...." Straak looks down at the mop. "Well, ya know, besides this..." Straak turns and walks back into the room to resume his work.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 11:44 PM	Nocturan casts a glance at Straak and shakes his head. "So we've got the mop-boy, the halfling, and the old guy on the thieving end of things. What's next? A dead rabbit?"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-08-03, 11:49 PM	The room is illuminated briefly as a rabbit walking on two legs suddenly appears with a faint flash of blue light. He dusts his robes off and passes a glance around the room. His gaze stops on Nocturan. "Did somebody call me...sorry i've been away a while, i had to make a quick....stop at a certain Drow house."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-08-03, 11:51 PM	asthnar just blinks a few times. then he walks out the new doors
Nocturan Deadfall 08-08-03, 11:53 PM	Nocturan turns and looks at Erecemroth, then down at his empty tankard of beer. "Alright, either I've had too much, or too little of this stuff.... Better drunk than not drunk...." He stands and walks back to 'his' room, refills his tankard, and walks back in, retaking his seat.
Nugan 08-08-03, 11:56 PM	Nugan smirks and nods to Erecemroth. "Hello Erecemroth... What's this about the house? I hope you had some fun with them."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-08-03, 11:56 PM	Erecemroth stretches, smiling at Nocturan, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out.................the skeletal remains of a small child- bone by bone- and begins to fiddle around with them. "Mmm..friday night activities...much better than what the living do." Erecemroth shivers at a thought "Mating...."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-08-03, 11:57 PM	Erecemroth looks up from his bones to Nugan "Oh, just a little collecting is all...they made it so easy for me by putting all the young in one building.."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:00 AM	Nocturan shakes his head as he looks between Erecemroth and his tankard of beer. "I knew I should have bought more kegs without paying for them...." He downs his mug and sets it on the table.
Nugan 08-09-03, 12:01 AM	Nugan suppresses a shiver. "Oh... Sounds like you had fun... Umm... Is that? You, know nevermind." Nugan smirks. "I agree with you on the mating part though... And I'm living, well, sorta..."
Old_Hermit 08-09-03, 12:03 AM	looks over the bunny. " Grandson. didnt i tell you not to bring your old toys to life with powerful magics. What if your father were here?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:05 AM	Nocturan looks at Nugan and points at Erecemroth. "I take it you know this dead rabbit? Friend of yours, or more likely, of Biantium's?"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:06 AM	Erecemroth looks over to Nocturan and laughs at his drinking binge "Damn take it easy lizardman...you are still alive. Even if you are more than half machine." He goes back to fiddling with the bones, taking part of a pelvis out and trying to fit it together with an arm bone "Bah, i'm no paleoarminotolono...bone studier..." Erecemroth throws the two bones down in frustration and picks up a skull to examine it..
Nugan 08-09-03, 12:06 AM	Nugan shivers and turns to the Hermit. "Let's not talk about that Gramps... Because he's not..." Nugan sighs and sits quietly for a momment before shivering again. "Oh..." Nugan reaches out and wraps the table in front of him before sighing in relief.
Old_Hermit 08-09-03, 12:09 AM	"Silly rabit." the old one goes over and assembles a leg
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:09 AM	Erecemroth peers over to Old Hermit "Hello there old man...didn't i tell you that i'm not your grandson once before...i mean i guess its theoretically possible, but most human wenches aren't into the y'know...interspecies.." Closing his eyes, he thinks of Biantium for a moment and shivers "Eick.."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:10 AM	Erecemroth looks over at Hermit fiddling with the leg "Ohhh so that's how it goes...never did understand that anatomy"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:12 AM	An elderly human man appears in a flash of white light. He wears a pair of overalls, a white robe and a wide brimmed straw hat. A long beard falls down to his feet. "I'm Branogan McHawke."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:12 AM	Nocturan glanes at Erecemroth. "I may be alive, sort of, but all the alcohol in the damn world can't explain you. And believe me, I've drank a lot more than this in one sitting. Damn oil blood dilutes it too much."
Old_Hermit 08-09-03, 12:13 AM	the old one rolls back a sleeve to show his arm thats thin enough to see the bone structure
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:15 AM	Nocturan half chokes on his beer as Branogan appears. He stands quickly and says. "Branogan McHawke? What in the nine hells are you doing here? I thought you were stuck in Altheria?"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:16 AM	McHawke turns and looks around the room, then removes a large washtub from his pocket, which he sets on the ground and urinates in. He looks over at Nocturan, then to Hermit. "Hello lizardthing...old human...who's gonna fix me dinner?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:20 AM	Nocturan shakes his head. "Some things never change from Altheria...." He smirks at the question. "I'm guessing Straak, since he's the only one who cooks around here."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:20 AM	Erecemroth looks over to Branogan, who just pee'd in the tub. "Public urination...the other white meat. Or something." He fiddles around with the bones some more, throwing one into a wall in frustration. "Pfft. Whatever."
Nugan 08-09-03, 12:21 AM	Nugan opens his mouth to respond to Erecemroth, but instead winces as Branogan shows up. "Great... Could tonight get any more... interesting?" Nugan winces again and reaches for the tabletop, but he's interrupted by the creak of wooden wheels outside. "Ugh..." Nugan sighs and withdraws his hand in submission.
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:23 AM	McHawke glances over to Nocturan slowly shaking his head "Well somebody better do it...or they're gonna be black and blue like my wife. After she fell down the stairs. After i beat her."
A Homeless Child 08-09-03, 12:26 AM	The child approaches the door to the Guildhall, pushing his little cart in front of him. He pulls open the door weakly and steps inside. "Hi... I'm cough hungry... and cough they chased me cough outta the...." The child's words are cut short by a terrible coughing fit that nearly knock him from his feet.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:27 AM	Nocturan smirks at Branogan. "Sounds like a job for Straak to me, but he belongs to Nugan, so you'll have to negotiate with him on that matter. Good to see that you're still around considering how many times you resurrected me back in Altheria."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:28 AM	Branogan McHawke glances over to the homeless child and gestures to the tub he just urinated in. He then removes two chunks o' bat dung, formed into the shape of apples, from his pockets and tosses them into the tub. "Bobbing for apples, take your fill."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:29 AM	Nocturan glances at the child and mutters. "That can't be good with the lunatics in this room...."
bootezu king 08-09-03, 12:31 AM	Suddenly something flys through the open door and lands on the table "Ahahahahaha! I am the great Bootezu King Bootanaz! now then nugan.. you had escaped me in the tavern, but now your all mine!! bwahahahahahaahahahaha"
Nugan 08-09-03, 12:32 AM	Nugan sighs in relief as the child enters. "Well, that's a... Hey, are you dying or something? Could you take it ouside? I mean, this is a theives guild and they'll probably get the wrong idea if they see you lying on the floor dead..." Nugan smirks. "Not that I don't feel for your cause and all... That being getting to eat..."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:32 AM	Erecemroth looks up at the King entering "Hey your that bird thing that attacked me yesterday.."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:34 AM	Nocturan looks at Bootanaz and smirks. "Looks like dinner just arrived. Well done or medium rare?"
bootezu king 08-09-03, 12:34 AM	spins on his heel "huh.. oh.. Yes! and i.. uhh arranged for you to be here that i may get you bolth!! mwahahaha my evil spreds!"
A Homeless Child 08-09-03, 12:37 AM	Recovers from his fit and looks to the tub. "Oh... cough Thank you sir. I cough am so cough hungry..." The child approaches the tib, but has another, harsher, coughing fit and passes out.
bootezu king 08-09-03, 12:37 AM	growls at noc "You watch your yap ya big .. uh.. big.. jerk?.. yah that works. You watch your yap ya big scally Jerk! i am the king of the bootezu and i have feeeeaaar ful powers beyon your comprehension!"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:37 AM	McHawke looks at the King and draws a longsword and a skillet from under his robes "I likes mine...raw."
bootezu king 08-09-03, 12:40 AM	Bootnaz eeps at the sword " uh.. Diiiiieeee!!!!" he flys swiftly to the rafters and dive bombs at random targets lighting fast.. most often hitting the floor hard and winding himself. but he always manages to hops to his feet and fly back up
Nugan 08-09-03, 12:41 AM	Nugan rolls out of his chair and under the table when the Bootezu shows up. He then curls into a protective ball and draws his dagger. "Straak, let me know when it, no, all of them, are gone..."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:42 AM	McHawke is nearly dive bombed, as is Erecemroth who is loses concentration on his bones for a second as he falls backwards. McHawke takes a swing at the king as he passes with his fryin' pan "Fool, i'ma cook you up like a chicken!"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:43 AM	Nocturan turns and glares at Bootanaz as his claw blades extend with a loud clang as the metal strikes more metal. "Yeah? Well look, I'm Nocturan. You see these claws? They can cause you a great amount of pain. What were you saying?"
bootezu king 08-09-03, 12:45 AM	trys to swerve around the pan and succedes. however in its place his seven inch tall dragon-like self slams into the old hermit.
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:45 AM	Saruman the White enters through the guild hall door in a lacy night gown and a white bedcap "Oh dear, i seem to have the wrong address..." He turns and exits quickly
Straak 08-09-03, 12:46 AM	Straak emerges from a room, mop in hand. "Yah boss... What was that?" Straak stares blankly at the others in the Guildhall and drops his mop. "Well that's, ya know, something else..."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:48 AM	Erecemroth nods to Straak as he enters "Looks like you've got quite the mess to clean up boy-o."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:49 AM	Nocturan blinks as he sees Saruman, then looks back at his tankard. "I did not just see that, and I am never drinking again...."
Old_Hermit 08-09-03, 12:49 AM	the old ones hit and knocked back about a foot. he falls to the ground, knocked out
Nugan 08-09-03, 12:50 AM	Nugan uncurls and looks pleadingly at Straak from his spot under the table. "Straak.... Do something..." Nugan curls back into a ball and hugs his legs, danger still in hand.
bootezu king 08-09-03, 12:51 AM	Bootanaz flys from under the old one and lands on nocs shoulder to the best of his ability
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:51 AM	Lop Top turned around backwards enters through a window in the side of the hall.. "You cook dinner for me."
Straak 08-09-03, 12:55 AM	Straak looks pitfully from side to side after hearing Nugan. "Yah... Right away boss..." Straak turns to the univited guests. "So.... Ya guys feel like, ya know, leaving? .... Please?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 12:56 AM	Nocturan turns and looks at Lot Top and then to Branogan. "Please tell me you didn't unleash one of those annoying shadow-things here...."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 12:58 AM	McHawke turns to look at Lop Top turned around backwards, then looks back at Straak "So...smaller lizard thing, how would you like to fix dinner already? Obviously there's a demand for it.."
Straak 08-09-03, 01:01 AM	Straak turns to Branogan and reaches for his dagger. "Yah... I don't think so... Tha boss..." Straak gulps. "Tha boss would... like ya to leave..."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 01:02 AM	Lop Top turned around backwards takes a seat in a chair and crosses his arms "You fix dinner now, boy....or you be so hurt..so hurt."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 01:03 AM	Nocturan drops back into his seat and looks at Straak. "Do you actually think that's going to get rid of any of these people?"
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:03 AM	Bootanaz scurries under the table to nugan " man.. you have one messed up guild ya know?"
Straak 08-09-03, 01:04 AM	Straak gives Nugan an overwhelmed look. "Yah boss... I don't think they're, ya know, listening..."
Nugan 08-09-03, 01:09 AM	Nugan gives an exasperated sigh. "I don't know... Make them listen then..." Nugan jumps up when he sees the bootezu, bumping his head on the table. He then holds out his dagger towards it to keep it at bay. "Don't... Don't even..."
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:11 AM	jumps back and hisses a hiss that slowley turns into a laugh " ohh noo.. not the great dagger.. sheesh. like i, the great Bootanaz, would fear such a pathetic attempt. RAA!"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 01:16 AM	Nocturan leans back in his chair and lets his forearm blades retract. He lets out a relaxed breath as he mutters. "This place gets more and more like home every day...."
Nugan 08-09-03, 01:22 AM	Nugan sighs and moves away from the Bootezu. "Would begging for my life work better?" Nugan holds out the dagger with one hand and reaches into his robes with the other.
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 01:22 AM	Branogan McHawke, displeased at his not being fed yet, kicks over the bucket containing his urine and the bat feces. Disgusted, Lop Top turned around backwards exists through the window, coughing and gagging "I'm Branogan McHawke." "And i'm hungry...still."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 01:25 AM	Nocturan instinctively picks his feet up, putting them on the table as he looks over at Nugan. "You might want to get off the floor soon...."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 01:26 AM	Erecemroth has given up trying to sort through the child bones, and is now using two femurs to drum on a table, carrying a surprisingly good beat.
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:27 AM	Bootanaz darts back and onto the table where he waits atop the part nugan will come out from under if he backs up to get out
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 01:28 AM	Dj Clue appears from a greenish portal next to Erecemroth, says his name, and disappears through the portal once more. Erecemroth blinks "Well i wonder what that was all about..."
Straak 08-09-03, 01:33 AM	Straak watches the Bootezu and looks to Nugan. "Yah... Don't worry Boss, I'll, ya know, get him..." Straak jumps onto the table and draws his dagger, approaching the Bootezu.
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:35 AM	Bootanaz spins on his heel and faces straak. he forms one of his hands into a dagger form and cackles insanely " Bring it on dog dragon thing"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 01:36 AM	McHawke looks around the room and sighs "I'm Branogan McHawke." There is a bright flash of light as he disappears and a few moments later, a mist of urine sprinkles the inhabitants of the guildhall.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 01:36 AM	Nocturan shakes his head as he looks around. "Yep, either I'm really drunk, or that lunatic Branogan unleashed one of his shadow-things.... Drakhara or something.... Either way, this won't end well...."
Straak 08-09-03, 01:40 AM	Straak steps towards the Bootezu, readying his dagger. "If ya, ya know, insist..." Straak slips as the "mist" falls , drops his dagger, and slids across the tabletop, landing on the floor on the other side.
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:42 AM	at that Botanaz looks about to see if anyone was looking. if not then he acts all triumphant and mighty. if someone was, he shouts " hah! thatl show you to mess with the great Bootanaz!"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 01:43 AM	Nocturan snarls as the mist covers him, then the metal scales that cover his body glow faintly red as they heat up. The liquid evaporates from him in the form of steam and drifts away after he flaps his wings a few times, leaving him clean and dry. "And that is part of why I left Altheria...."
Old_Hermit 08-09-03, 01:44 AM	the old one sits up and rubs his head. luckily his head was face down and his hood acted like a filter to the mist. also luckily he was next to noc
Straak 08-09-03, 01:46 AM	Straaks pulls himself up and rushes for the Boootezu, trying to grab it with his bare hands. "Yah... Get over here..."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 01:46 AM	Erecemroth watches as Straak attempts to chase off the Bootezu King "Get 'em Straak...and after you finish, give his remains to me..and cook me dinner.." Erecemroth puts his head down on the table
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:48 AM	Bootanaz was bisy cackling and gets rushed of the table. when he's hit he trys to take straak down with him. when he hits the ground he eeps and coughs
Straak 08-09-03, 01:50 AM	Straak is drug to the ground with the Bootezu, landing on top of him. He grabs at the creature and tries to hold it down. "Yah... Come on ya little..."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 01:51 AM	Nocturan shakes his head as he continues to watch the chaos around him. "When did I become the sane one around here?"
bootezu king 08-09-03, 01:54 AM	Bootanaz trys to bite straaks hand while he kicks and flails. if he manages to do so he whaps him with his tail, hopefully hard enough to knock him off that he may fly to the door if he fails to bite him, he'll call on other bootezu to aid him
Nugan 08-09-03, 01:58 AM	Nugan pokes his head out from under the table and looks at Nocturan. "You know Noc, if I wasn't curled in the fetal position under a table right now I might try to argue with you on that..." Nugan spots the Bootezu and jerks back under the table.
Straak 08-09-03, 02:01 AM	Straak's biten and throw off of the Bootezu. He stuggles to his feet. "Yah... Ouch." Straak hurries after the Bootezu but it slips past him and out the door. He sighs and closes it behind the Bootezu. "Well, good thing that's, ya know, over..."
Nugan 08-09-03, 02:04 AM	Nugan crawls out from under the table and stands, dusting himself off. "That it is Straak, that it is..." Nugan walks over to the mop and picks it up, holding it out to Straak. "Now, its looks like some cleaning up needs to be done."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 02:05 AM	Nocturan looks at Straak as he hears that, then looks to Nugan with a smirk. "Don't worry, I got it." Nocturan knocks on the table top a few times then shakes his head.
Straak 08-09-03, 02:07 AM	Straak sighs and takes the mop from his boss. "Yah... sure thing..." Straak fills a bucket and begins cleaning up the mess left by Branogan.
Nugan 08-09-03, 02:11 AM	Nugan begins to walk towards one of the member's quarter's. "Well, I think I'm going to go take a bath..." Nugan walks over to the room, but pauses in the doorway. "Somehow I can't help but think I forgot about something... Oh well, couldn't possibly be anything important..." Nugan shrugs and steps into the room, closing the door behind him.
A Homeless Child 08-09-03, 02:14 AM	The child continues to lie unconious on the Guildhall floor. Every now and then he twitches slightly.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 02:22 AM	Nocturan shakes his head as he stands, grabs his now filthy tankard and throws it across the room, where it bounces off the ground very close to the homeless child. He walks back to 'his' room and slams the door, muttering. "I don't get payed enough for this.... Or at all for that matter.... Wait a second, I might as well be back in Apathy.... Damnit...."
Nugan 08-09-03, 02:24 AM	((Edit: Mispost. Oh well, I'll use this post to publically apologize to the rest of you. Things got kinda out of control. ;) ))
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 09:49 PM	Nocturan walks back into the guild hall, still smoking with the lightning burn from Asthnar on his chest. He stomps over to his chair and waits for the others to arrive. He mutters to himself. "That was one painful distraction...."
Nugan 08-09-03, 09:52 PM	((Time Lapse: Its now immedaitely after the robbery. Oh and Noc's post above is post time laspe, I think.)) Nugan blinks into existence, seated in his chair. "That went well..."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 09:55 PM	(( Yeah.... My last post was after the time lapse :P )) Nocturan looks toward Nugan. "Easy for you to say, you didn't get hit with that damn lightning bolt and magic missile thing that Asthnar used. I take it you got what you were after?"
WraithOfHouseToHouse 08-09-03, 09:56 PM	Erecemroth fades into view in the guildhall, applauding and wearing a spaced out expression "Hehe, well that was a show alright...that was a show. Just too bad i couldn't get any of that marshall's bodily fluids..."
Sharp 08-09-03, 09:58 PM	Sharp emerges from the shadows. "Nugan, are you allright?"
Nugan 08-09-03, 10:00 PM	Nugan nods to Erecemroth, smirking. "That is was, that it was." Nugan nods to Sharp. "Oh I'm fine, the whole bleeding thing was an act."
Sharp 08-09-03, 10:06 PM	Sharp's expression became a scowl...then eased to a mere narrowing of the eyes. "Good job, then." She looked around. "Where's Straak?"
Nugan 08-09-03, 10:08 PM	Nugan blinks. "Yeah... Where is Straak? Isn't he the one who has it too?" Nugan sighs. "Great... It can never be easy."
Straak 08-09-03, 10:14 PM	Straak rushes in, key and parchment in hand. "Yah... Sorry abou that... I just did a lot of portal-hopping to, ya know, throw them off tha scent..."
Sharp 08-09-03, 10:18 PM	"Ah good, Straak, well done!" Gives her kobold conspirator a grin. She turned back to Nugan "So do I have to steer clear of the Emporium now or what?"
Nugan 08-09-03, 10:19 PM	Nugan sighs in relief. "Oh, Hello Straak... So that was it..." Nugan gestures to the parchment and key. "So, that's the 'map'? Lets hope it doesn't just lead to some sewer construction project or something..."
Straak 08-09-03, 10:23 PM	Straak nods and hands the items to Nugan. "Yah... These are, ya know, what I took..."
Nugan 08-09-03, 10:28 PM	Nugan takes the note and key from Straak. "Thanks..." Nugan turns to Sharp. "No, I think you're safe... I said it looked like you two were "a couple of punk kids".... Oh, but you might want to keep your eyes on Kat, she started asking about you, and she spotting Asthnar. She may very well have some idea what was going on. Other than that, the whole thing went on without incident." Nugan smirks. "Raven even healed my 'wound' without suspecting a thing."
Sharp 08-09-03, 10:34 PM	"Allright then. Congradulations Nugan, and to all! I'll mind Kat, don't worry, and thanks for the warning" She comes up beside Nugan to have a look at the map.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 10:36 PM	Nocturan looks at Nugan with an expression of disagreement. "Without incident? Without incident?! That illithid hit me with a damn lightning bolt! Look at me, I'm half metal, do you have any idea how much electricity hurts when you're half metal?!"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-09-03, 10:38 PM	asthnar fades into view seated next to nugan Ohh.. maybe your a just a mecha-newt. i didnt think those puny spells could realy hurt you.. then again i onley used the bolt because of your body. anyways.. i stayed behind a-bit to hear what the old man was saying. seems he forgot he was apart of this too and ended up telling his own.. 'distorted' version of what happend, including some info from what he heard here. Poor insane little man
Nugan 08-09-03, 10:42 PM	Nugan shrugs. "Not sure Noc. Alot, I guess." Nugan opens the map and spreads it out on the tabletop. It appears to lead to a location in the forests well outside of Juxta City. Nugan raises his eyebrows. "Well, I may be wrong, but I don't think they'd be putting a sewer way out there..." Nugan looks over the key, holding it up for the others to see. "What do you suppose this opens?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 10:46 PM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan. "A lot? A lot? You're damn right a lot." Nocturan motions with a forearm and sends a tendril of chains toward Asthnar that lengthen and shift, aiming to entangle the mind flayer.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-09-03, 10:47 PM	asthnar chuckles and fades from view just befor they would get him
Nugan 08-09-03, 10:51 PM	Nugan winces and holds up his hand for them to stop. "Please, please... We should be celebrating, not beating each other over minor things. This will all be meaningless when we see that Marshal gold..." ((Thanks everyone. :) You all did a great job. It couldn't have worked out better.))
Nocturan Deadfall 08-09-03, 11:00 PM	Nocturan growls and mutters under his 'breath'. "Damn mind flayers...." He recalls the chain to his forearm and they retake their normal forms.
Sharp 08-09-03, 11:56 PM	Sharp studies the map. "No, not a sewer. Know how to get there? Tell me, and I'll be happy to scout that out...alone."
Nugan 08-10-03, 12:27 AM	Nugan shrugs. "I've never been out of the city. In fact, I don't think I've even left the marketplace... It shouldn't be too bad though, if we follow the Map. We might want to work as a group though. I haven't exactly heard good things about the conditions out there..."
Sharp 08-10-03, 02:33 AM	She grimaces at the thought of trying to work as a single unit of synchronized theives with these people. "Nugan, let us be realistic. You want to take everyone at once to an unknown place?"
Nugan 08-10-03, 02:42 AM	Nugan shrugs. "I'd rather take the chance of losing everyone then the chance of one lucky person walking away with everything while the rest of us sit helplessly in the Guildhall..." Nugan smirks. "Not that I'd suspect any of you of something like that..."
Old_Hermit 08-10-03, 05:23 AM	the old one walks through the doors and takes a seat "So Grandson! howd your little game go? did you win?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-10-03, 05:48 AM	Nocturan turns and looks at the hermit, shaking his head slightly in disbelief. "Game? You've got to be kidding. Are you really that far out of it that you think what just happened was a game?"
Nugan 08-10-03, 06:10 PM	Nugan smirks. "You know Gramps, I think I just may have..." ((I'm going to be back again in a couple of hours, and I'll start the search thread then.))
Nugan 08-10-03, 07:32 PM	Nugan stands, folds up the map, and stuffs it into his pocket. "Well, that's that then... We'll start out early tommorrow afternoon noon. Good luck everyone." Nugan makes a gesture and vanishes. ((There, we'll put this thread on "pause" now, and switch over to the other one. Then we'll move back here after its finished.))
Nugan 08-19-03, 10:07 PM	((Well, we're back, and still holding onto the top post count (like that matters). :) The treasure hunt took a little longer than I expected.)) Nugan blinks into existence, seated in his chair at the end of the table. He smirks. "I think that went well..." Nugan removes a small metal box from his robes and sets it on the tabletop.
Straak 08-20-03, 12:22 AM	Straak appears with his boss, standing a few feet from his chair. "Yah... I, ya know, guess it did..." Straak shifts his gaze to the box on the table. "So... Are we gonna, ya know, open it?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-20-03, 05:40 AM	asthnar fades in on his own by the door
Nugan 08-20-03, 02:06 PM	Nugan shoots a nervous glance at the box. "Well.... Lets wait for the others...."
Old_Hermit 08-20-03, 04:32 PM	the old one fades in with nugan and co. he streches and yawns then heads to flicks old room for a nap
Felicity_Rauston 08-20-03, 10:23 PM	Felicity looks up from the newspaper she's reading. She yawns. "How'd it go? Are we rich?"
Nugan 08-20-03, 10:33 PM	Nugan taps the small metal box sitting on the table in front of him and smirks. "I guess we'll see soon Flick...." Nugan does a double-take on the box. "Although it is awfully small... Maybe its bonds or deeds to property or something..."
Felicity_Rauston 08-23-03, 02:39 PM	Felicity eyes the metal box. "Whatever's in there, it had better be worth triple its capacity in plats." ((Wow... quiet in here.))
Nugan 08-23-03, 03:09 PM	((Yes, yes it is. Noc's having problems back at the Treasure Hunt, and I'm not 100% sure where Sharp, Maria, Manger, and the others are.)) Nugan nods to Felicity. "We can only hope. I'd rather not open it to find it full of shredded parchment and have twenty Marshals come crashing through the door to take us into custody..." Nugan knock on the table in front of him. He then reaches into his robes and withdraws his pocketwatch, he pops it open and glances at the time. "Well, either Noc and Sharp are taking their good time getting here or we might have some casulaties after all..."
Manger Corelus 08-25-03, 10:05 PM	Manger kicked the door open with a growl. "Nugan, you moronic bastard of a monkey-rapping pigeon! What in the Nine possessed you to go and get on the bad side of those Grinning Skull dogs?" The flabby hunch-back shoved a piece of parchment under Nugan's nose--or rather, into it. "We're wanted, thanks to you. And I've never had such an unflattering bounty. Fifty gold," Manger wrinkled his nose in disgust. "If we're dead, and double that if we're alive." The fat merchant made an indelicate noise at the back of his throat and then threw himself into his seat. Then a puzzled frown came over his face. "Nugan," he began slowly. "What did you do when you pulled that little stunt in the Emporium?" Manger's frown deepened. "...And what's in that box?"
Nugan 08-25-03, 10:10 PM	Nugan blinks at Manger's entrance. "Hello Manger... You look more, yeah, than usual... What do you have there?" Nugan shifts his aze to the paper, reads it, and winces. "Oh... Great..." Nugan rereads that paper and smirks. "Hey, I'm worth seventy-five.... and that's just dead..." ((If your not sure what Manger & I are talking about look here: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=88149 ))
Manger Corelus 08-25-03, 10:17 PM	Manger nearly went into a caniption because of that. After a long moment of mouth-foaming and heavy cursing, Manger got himself under control. "You goat-molesting idiot!" he nearly screamed into Nugan's face. "I don't give a flying damn if you're worth fifeteen more gold than us. What did you do to get a group of maniac, froathing, raving clerics who only have half their marbels mad at us?" And with that, he felt better.
Nugan 08-25-03, 10:20 PM	Nugan shrugs with a smirk. "What haven't I done?" Nugan furrows his brow for a momment. "Honestly... I have no idea..." Nugan turns to the others in the Guildhall. "Anyone here anger some crazy clerics? Come on, you don't have to be shy... Its not like its gonna get us all killed or something..."
Manger Corelus 08-25-03, 10:22 PM	The ugly, scar-faced man leaned back in his seat, his stubby fingers pulling at his long nose. "Nugan, there's one question you haven't answered for me yet. What's in the box?"
Nugan 08-25-03, 10:25 PM	Nugan glances down at the box, then up to Manger with a smirk. "How should I know? I haven't opened it yet..."
Manger Corelus 08-25-03, 10:41 PM	Manger shifted his eyes to the box, then back to Nugan. He repeated this process for several seconds, then he snatched it up and flipped the lid open. Then he swore. "A hat?"
Nugan 08-25-03, 10:48 PM	Nugan jerks foward to grab the box and winces as it (and the key apparently) are taken. "Woah... Let's wait a sec here Manger..." Nugan blinks as he hears Manger. "A what now?"
Manger Corelus 08-25-03, 10:59 PM	The hunch-back just stared at the box. "It's a bloody hat!" He tossed the box to Nugan. "Take a look."
Nugan 08-25-03, 11:04 PM	Nugan catches the box and glances inside. "What? I don't..." Nugan's face sinks as he stares at the box's contents. "Great..." Nugan withdraws a small grey peasent's hat with a stipped band containing a chicken feather running over a wide brim and tosses it on the table. "Well, there goes my livlihood..."
Manger Corelus 08-25-03, 11:10 PM	Manger sneered sourly. "I can't believe this." He scratched his stomach and looked at the hat. "Is that old man around? Give it to him, why don't you?"
ydalxof 08-26-03, 10:21 AM	http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/feik.gif Feikxim just sort of, appears at the table, feet propped up on it, leaning in a chair, tail flipping behind her "you got bounties on your head for a hat? cripes what sorta crappy guild is this...i was told it was the best....heh..." She glances around to the others, smirking, ears twitching, she toys with the silver loop in her lower lip, before speaking to Nugan "So...you the big shot here, eh cutie? heh"
Nugan 08-26-03, 01:12 PM	Nugan blinks and turns to the newcomer. "Err... Hello?" Nugan smirks. "We are the best theives guild, well in Juxta anyway. Of course, we're also the only thieves guild in Juxta, so... Yeah, I'm the leader... for the time being anyway. And you are?"
Aysel 08-26-03, 02:35 PM	Aysel brushes the door aside and walks in, looking around quickly. She seems to be a tense, agitated state of mind. Upon spotting Nugan, she heads over to him. "You, Mister Wracod. Give me the box. Now."
Nugan 08-26-03, 03:08 PM	Nugan supresses a smirk, stands, picks up the box, and walks over to Aysel. "Well, I don't see what choice I have in the matter..." Nugan opens the lid of the box, shows Aysel that its empty, and tosses it to her. "There you go, enjoy.... Give whoever sent you my best too... Or are you still maintaining that your just a 'curious observer'?"
Aysel 08-26-03, 05:49 PM	Aysel eyes the empty box, surprised. She shakes her head. "Let's see. My bet's that you, Apathy, have the item the Grinning Skull is looking for. Since it's not in the box, you've probably hidden it somewhere in the guildhall. In one of the rooms, perhaps, or through that portal... oh, for the gods' sake--where is it?"
Felicity_Rauston 08-26-03, 05:58 PM	Felicity looks miffed at the wanted parchment. "Great, just great... Y'know, this would be the time we stop wearing our weasel rings and go incognito." She looks even more annoyed when Nugan produces a hat from the box. "A hat? You've got to be kidding me! Where are my precious platinum pieces? My rubies and diamonds? Or bonds, give me bonds! Like, a deed to two hundred acres of land or something. Or fifty acres--I could settle for fifty. But a hat? Now that was a bloody waste of time. And by the way, Nugan, when are we getting paid?" Felicity squints at Aysel when she enters and waves. "Oh, it's you--the girl who wants to kill Nugan, right? Hey."
Nugan 08-26-03, 05:58 PM	Nugan shrugs with a smirk. "I have no idea what your talking about..." Nugan picks up the hat off the table, and begins walking towards the door. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I was just about to go for a walk..." Nugan takes another step towards the door and sets the hat on his head. He convulses...
Nocturan Deadfall 08-26-03, 06:45 PM	Nocturan, looking very battered, much like as though two trees fell on him, finally approaches the guildhall. His metallic hide dented and scratched up, a large portion of his left shoulder caved in. He makes more noise than usual, the dinged metal plates scraping together so badly that they create sparks. His chains rattle with each step as he pushes the doors open and walks inside, going right past Nugan, his face a blank stare. He moves steadily to a chair and sits, not saying a word, no expression crossing his face for quite a while.
Manger Corelus 08-26-03, 07:15 PM	Manger turned his gaze toward Aysel, his hand slowly slipping the axe off of his side. The hunch-back then blinked as Nugan convulsed, and then again Nocturan stumbled in. The ugly, scar-faced man moved to his feet. "What in the Nine?"
Nugan 08-26-03, 09:10 PM	Nugan convulses again, his body seems to expand and fill out, his hair greys then begins to turn white, and a short white beard sprouts around his mouth. He stumbles backwards and leans angainst the table to right himself and groans. "Wha..." Nugan turns to Aysel with a worried look. "I'm not feeling that great... What did you do to me? I was just going for a walk..."
Straak 08-26-03, 09:13 PM	Straak stares blankly at his boss for a momment before approaching him and giving him a worried glance. "Yah... Boss... ya look kinda like..." Straak stops himself and gulps. "Yah.... Nevermind..."
Nugan 08-26-03, 09:15 PM	Nugan turns to Straak and narrows his eyes. "Look kinda like what, Straak?"
Straak 08-26-03, 09:17 PM	Straak gulps again and wrings his hands nervously. "Yah... well... ummm... Ya look kinda like... ya know.... ya father..." Straak winces and shifts his gaze to the floor.
Straak 08-26-03, 09:22 PM	((Edit: *sigh* Another "wrong screenname" post.))
ydalxof 08-26-03, 09:23 PM	http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/feik.gif Feik smirks, and kicks her feet off the table, sitting upright with a grin, her ears perk at Nugan "Well i'm your newest member...you can call me Feik, cutie...heh....not all sound in the brain are you? heh...anyway..what's the deal eh? Hows this guild run...is it worth it?" She turns her head as Aysel enters, and leans back in her chair, her eyes drifting back over to Nugan, she grins "Hmm...think that one could use a drink....." As Nugan gets up and walks, and then convulses, she blinks, and can't help but blurt out as she sees him apparently aging "Heh...not a bad look for you...but i dont like old guys...maybe take the hat off eh?" She doesn't seem to pay much attention to the others in the room, although she does take a long glance at Nocturan, and scratches her ear, as if trying to figure out what it/he/she is. Basically she sits there, blatently staring at Nocturan, tail flipping slowly behind her, as if curious.
Nugan 08-26-03, 09:24 PM	Nugan shakes his head in confusion. "What Straak? I don't..." Nugan takes a small mirror from one of his pockets, opens the case and looks at his reflection. He opens his mouth, but leaves it hanging open for several momment without saying anything. He eventually sets the mirror on the table and regards the others with a glazed look. "Great..."
Aysel 08-26-03, 09:55 PM	Aysel stares at Nugan. "So that's it. The hat? Well, they're coming for it."
ydalxof 08-26-03, 10:06 PM	http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/feik.gif Blinks finally after staring at Nocturan for a good minute or two, and turns to look at nugan again, she leans in her chair again, glancing back to Nugan and the others, addressing them in general. "hey..who's coming here? Do i get to live here? And when do we get paid? heh..." She grins a bit, toying with the silver hoop through her eyebrow idly
Nugan 08-26-03, 10:44 PM	Nugan turns to Aysel to respond, but no words come out when he opens his mouth. He then turns to Fiek and trys to speak again. He slumps to the floor instead. "Ugh..." Nugan's falls backwards and the hat tumbles off his head. He convulses on the floor and returns to his former form.
Aysel 08-27-03, 02:16 PM	As Nugan convulses, Aysel lunges for the hat to grab it. She glances around apprehensively.
Felicity_Rauston 08-27-03, 02:19 PM	Felicity glances at Feik, ignoring Nugan's convulsiveness. "Them, no, and never. Actually, you can bunk here, but don't tell Nugan. And do you really want to? I mean, your neighbour's going to be a crazy hermit fella."
Straak 08-27-03, 07:15 PM	Straak looks from Nugan to the hat and back again, hesitating. "Yah...." Straak forces his gaze from the hat, rushes over to Nugan, and begins shaking him lightly. "C'mon Boss... Ya need ta, ya know, wake up..."
Nugan 08-27-03, 07:21 PM	((Well, I was expecting more of a rush for the hat. Of course, I was also expecting Dan to be around. Oh well, since no one else has gone for it, if Dan (aka Asthnar/Old Hermit) doesn't show up tonight, I guess Aysel gets the hat without competition. :) )) Nugan groans and opens his eyes, but makes no attempt to stand up. "Uhhhh.... I just don't.... Ah, screw it." Nugan slumps backwards again and sighs.
Sharp 08-27-03, 07:35 PM	Sharp half crawls into the mainhall of the guildhall from the entrance she usually uses. She takes in the scene.... "Whoa!" She shouts loud enough to startle.
ydalxof 08-27-03, 09:35 PM	http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/feik.gif Feik looks at Felicity, and wrinkles her nose as she hears of the hermit "We never get paid?! well bloody hell...and hermit? ew..ok no i aint staying here...you sure we dont get paid? heh" She smirks, and glances toward Nugan a moment, before standing up, and pulling out a small black stone. She tosses it to the ground in front of her, as it hits the floor, it expands into a black hazey portal. She grins a bit at Felicity "Well..i got to make a ...delivery for someone...I'll be in Oerth most likely...maybe we can meet up and you can tell me about this guild eh? Apparently i've been misinformed as to what i get as bein' a member...heh..anyway..see ya round eh cutie? heh" Feik winks at felicity, before stepping through the portal, her tail swishing behind her slowly, the hazey blackness engulfing and concealing her, it snaps shut, the only thing remaining, a tiny pile of black sand
Felicity_Rauston 08-27-03, 10:05 PM	Felicity quirks a brow at Feik, then grins and waves. "Later." Now she turns to regard Aysel, Nugan, and Straak, and Sharp in the background. "Okay, what's going on? And where're my plats?"
Grinning_Skull 08-27-03, 10:23 PM	Immediately after Felicity speaks, ten dark, hooded figures glide into the guildhall. Some of them, when seen in the light, have hideous, disfigured faces. All of them are dressed in the blackest of robes, accessorized with little hanging skulls and tattoos of skull-like figures and runes. Three of them lunge for the hat, pushing Aysel aside. Another one throws a leather bag onto the ground, which explodes into a shroud of grey mist within ten metres of the hat. The other six move to fend off anyone who goes near.
Sharp 08-27-03, 10:30 PM	"That's...what...I..." She staggers forward. "Want...to...kn..." Her eyes go wide as the dark figures appear. She tries to move quickly, but falls instead...and finally passes out cold.
Straak 08-27-03, 10:31 PM	Straak gulps as the clerics enter. He gives Nugan a worried look. "Yah boss... Ya might want ta really think about, ya know, getting up... now..."
Nugan 08-27-03, 10:34 PM	Nugan opens his eyes again and sighs at Straak. "What is it now? Can't you see I'm throwing a childism tantrum here?" Nugan sighs and forces himself into a sitting position. He blinks at the figures and smoke. "Great..."
Nocturan Deadfall 08-28-03, 03:25 AM	(( Lazy poster :nonono: Time to catching thigns up.... )) Nocturan remains still, not even noticing the fact that he is being stared at by Feik, his face completely blank and his eyes glowing a very dull green-black. He holds still through Nugan's convulsions and his transformation. He remains still as Aysel lunges for the hat, not even moving a fraction of an inch. But as the ten new intruders arrive, Nocturan suddenly animates, standing with such speed that the chair he was sitting in slides back and tips over, hitting the floor with a clatter as he glares at the smoke cloud and the six standing around it. He speaks in a very harsh tone, his voice taking on a more metallic sound due to the overall damage he sustained before arriving. "Alright.... I've had a really long day.... I suggest you all leave me, and the rest of these primates in this room, alone, right now, before I get annoyed...." With that, his claw blades extend with loud scraping clangs, their extension mechanisms bent slightly, causing a small shower of sparks to fly from the gears. His mandibles gnash, as do his non-metal jaws, and the chains that hang from his person begin to move like steel snakes, the links growing until about ten lengths of fifteen feet each dance around his person. "The choice is yours to make you bunch of freaks." He stares at the members of the Grinning Skull, and awaits their choice.
frost_dagger 08-28-03, 04:30 AM	Just outside the guildhall, Sivex smiles triumphantly. " Ah, finally. I knew it was Mister Nocturan back in that cursed forest ... " The young swordsman whispers his thanks to the large lizardman. His hunt for the sneaky goblin didnt turned out as he'd predicted. Underestimating Grineck's cleverness cost him to wander in the vastness of the Juxtan forest for several days. Good thing he saw the lizardman and followed him back to *****. The lad moves to enter the room but hesitates when he heard the loud clangs, and quite surprised to see grey smoke coming from the door. The lad grins. " What luck. The goblin's back. And with him's my hat ... " Sivex instinctively brings out his knife and quietly enters the room, using the mist to conceal his entry.
Grinning_Skull 08-28-03, 01:22 PM	The six Grinning Skull monks don't even hesitate and head for Nocturan. The forerunner bounds over gracefully and moves to snap kick viciously at the giant lizard. In the centre of the grey mist, where the hat is, or was, a scuffle ensues where nothing is very clear.
A Homeless Child 08-28-03, 01:46 PM	The child is awoken from his faint (from his last post) by Sharp's yell, he raises his head to look around and begins coughing. "Wha-*cough*-Who-*cough*-How-*cough*-Whe-*cough*." The child gropes around for something to stiffle his cough with. He snatches up a grey piece of cloth and is about to stiffle his cough with it when it subsides on its own. He examine the piece of fabric and fides it to be a small grey peasent's hat. He lets out a yelp of joy. "Yea! *cough**cough**cough* Now I won't *cough* have to *cough* use old *cough* parch-*cough*-ment when it *cough* rains." The child sets the hat on his head and begins to hurry for the door. He's stopped by a convulsion, without coughs this time.
Nugan 08-28-03, 02:00 PM	Nugan forces himself to his feet and turns to one of the clerics with a sigh. "Ok, let's all just pause for a second here. I know you must have some pressing reason to be here, but today I've been lost in the woods, crushed by a house, stuck up by someone I barely know, and transformed into my father, so I really don't need this...." Nugan leans over to Straak and whispers. "Grab that hat. We might have something valuable here after all." Nugan turns to the others and raises his voice. "Please... Let's talk about this..."
Straak 08-28-03, 02:01 PM	Straak gives Nugan a hurried nod, and lowers his voice. "Yah... right away boss." Straak rushes over to where the hat was last seen and throws himself into the midst of the confusion, groping aroung around for any sign of it.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-28-03, 06:26 PM	((bah...)) Asthnar, who was standing by the door, becomes semi-translucent when the people arrive. after nugan transforms and the hat falls off his head, asthnar dives for the hat, passing through anyone in his way. after heends up in the middle of the smoke he becomes solid again.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-28-03, 06:28 PM	Nocturan snarls at the forerunner as he lets the snap kick thud against his iron skin, then smirks as he barely budges more than a twitch. He lets out a low rumbling growl as he lashes out with a straight punch aimed at the monk's chest with the claw blades, his chains darting out at the others behind his target.
Old_Hermit 08-28-03, 06:31 PM	when manger mentions something about him and gitting something he bolts out the door to the guildhall. When everyone comes in and the smokes ends up everywhere he curls into a ball and rolls into the fog shouting "NO! they gave meeeeeeee the hat!" he rolls around trying to knock people down and snatch up the hat.
frost_dagger 08-28-03, 07:06 PM	Sivex caught a glimpse of six hooded men attacking Nocturan just before he slips into the grey mist. " I feel sorry for them. " he says to himself. The young swordsman finds it difficult to see his way through the smoke, and so he walks with caution. Still thinking Grineck's behind all of this, the lad can't help but snicker in excitement. " Oh, but you've brought us much entertainment, Mister Cut-tooth sir. The least I can do is pay you with this." he absently whispers, at the same instance raising his knife at eye level. Sivex moves on.
Manger Corelus 08-28-03, 07:14 PM	Manger spat out a vile curse, then he was engulfed in the fog. He cursed a grumbled, raising his axe and moving forward on a pair of stalking feet. ...Then he saw someone, but he couldn't make out who. Curse his fading vision.
A Homeless Child 08-28-03, 08:20 PM	The child begins to swell and expand, his limbs shorten and become hooves, and his coughs (which have resumed) turn into squeals. "Ahh-*cough*-hhh, I'm *cough* *cough* chan-*cough*-oink, oink *cough* oink *cough* Oi...." The pig that was once the homeless child runs around inside the mist in confusion, squealing and coughing as he goes, the hat still on his head.
Old_Hermit 08-28-03, 08:28 PM	the old one can be heard shouting "PIGY! a cute lil PIGY PIG!" he trys to catch it
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-28-03, 08:34 PM	Asthnar curses as the fog impeeds his search. he fades to his semi-translucent state and leaves to fog. once away from it he chants a spell to sumon a gust of wind and hopefuly not strong enough to blow the hat away but enough to get rid of the fog
Grinning_Skull 08-28-03, 10:18 PM	Asthnar's gust of wind blows away the grey mist. All those in the mist are now visible, including Aysel, Manger, and four Grinning Skull monks. Two of the Grinning Skull monks notice the squealing pig and lunge for it. Aysel moves to engage one of the above, drawing her scimitar and attacking with deadly concentration. The other one goes to chase the pig, being swift and light of foot. Nocturan's claw blades tear through the monk, who looks like he's having his heart ripped out (which is possible). The other five seem to be dismissive of the chains and avoid them. (( And since I don't want to change names... )) Felicity backpedals her chair into a corner. She mutters: "No way I'm getting involved in this..."
Nugan 08-28-03, 10:24 PM	Nugan sighs as the fighting continues. "Yeah... I really didn't expect you to listen... Oh well..." Nugan gets down on all fours and scurries under the table where he huddles himself defensively against one of the chairs.
Straak 08-28-03, 10:30 PM	Straak spots the pig when the mist clears. He draws his dagger and darts after it. "Yah... here piggy, piggy.... I'm not gonna, ya know, hurt ya..." Straak closes on the pig and jumps for it at the same momment OH and the cleric do. He knocks into them, and skids across the floor, missing the pig.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 08-28-03, 11:01 PM	once asthnar can see the pig he figures it has the hat and chants a spell. his maximized and empowered Lightining bolt (as seen in isrp on poor noccy) will hopefuly blast the pig and those around them will hopefully be stuned.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-29-03, 12:32 AM	Nocturan draws back his arm after striking the monk, pulling the claw blades out forcefully, likely not leaving a pretty wound in their wake. He steps forward past the injured foe as his chains reverse their movement, curling back around low and darting back in an attempt to take the feet out from under the Grinning Skull members in front of him.
Manger Corelus 08-29-03, 12:47 AM	Manger quickly puffed after one of the Grinning Skull members who was chasing after the pig. He came to a skidding halt as Straak and the others crashed into each other. Losing his footing, he went down hard and bellowed a curse that would make most soldiers go pale. Then he saw one of the crashed Skull member's lower back sticking out from the pile. Maybe he would just cripple one, Manger thought to himself, and make life absolutly hellish for him. The dwarfed hunch-back grinned nastily to himself... ...And then he swung.
frost_dagger 08-29-03, 09:54 AM	Sivex stiffles a laugh as he watch Manger chop down a fallen monk, now that he can view the carnage in perfect clarity. Glancing around, the young swordsman surveys the room. " Hmm ... No sign of Mister Cut-tooth... " The young swordsman returns the knife back in his kimono and calmly approaches the unconcious Sharp, who happens to be just a few feet away from him. He grabs the halfling woman by the leg and quietly drags her to safety, bringing her under the table where Nugan is hiding. Smiling cheerfully, Sivex gives the guildleader a wave. " Hello there Mister Nugan sir. This is not a welcome party, I hope."
Nugan 08-29-03, 11:03 AM	Nugan glances up at Sivex as he enters with Sharp. "Hello Sivex..." Nugan shakes his head with a smirk. "Nope, looks more like a raiding party to me... Even if the costumes would make you think otherwise."
A Homeless Child 08-29-03, 11:13 AM	The child's paniced run is interrupted by the falling individuals as it trips over the clerics leg and is set skidding into a wall, sending him just into into the edge of Asthnar's blast. He lets out a painful squeal as collides with the wall and another as he's skimming by the blast. He's then hit by another violent coughing fit which sends him into convulsion, knocking the hat to the floor. "Oink *cough* Oink oink *cough* Oi-*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* I don't *cough* *cough* feel so *cough* *cough*...." The child loses consciousness, leaving the hat lying by his side.
Grinning_Skull 08-29-03, 12:54 PM	One of the Grinning Skull monks chasing the pig crashes into Straak. He lies limp there long enough for Manger to go... He screams, and abruptly falls silent, not moving. One of the monks attacking Nocturan slips on the chain, but immediately tries to get back up. The other four begin to circle Nocturan, speaking tersely in a foreign language. One of them draws a wicked, serrated knife and slashes with it at Noc, while the one flanking darts forward with his palm setting energy vibrations ((stun)). Aysel stops, disoriented by the lightning, but quickly grabs for the hat. However, the other Grinning Skull monk follows suit and wrestles her for it. It is not clear who has the hat. Felicity sighs and checks her pocket-watch.
Straak 08-29-03, 02:12 PM	Straak recovers from the fall and struggles to his feet. He makes a grab for his dagger, sighs as its kicked away by the cleric the lunged for the hat. He watches the struggle and begins to move toward it then pauses mid-step and watches Aysil and the cleric for a momment and furrows his brow. "Yah..." Straak makes a full turn and darts out the Guildhouse door, giving Nugan a look as he does. "Yah... Don't worry boss. I'll be right, ya know, back...."
Nugan 08-29-03, 02:17 PM	Nugan sighs as Straak runs outside. "Well, we all knew that he would run away someday. I wonder where one goes to pick up a new kobold. Is there like an unemployed kobold kitchen slave directory somewhere?"
Nocturan Deadfall 08-29-03, 08:09 PM	Nocturan grins for a brief moment as he sees the monk tripped by the chain, immediately lunging forward to take a swing at him with the left claw blade in a downward jab. He stands straight immediately after as he is flanked by the other four. He snarls as the first one darts in with the dagger, sweeping his right claw blade outward to deflect it away as his massive mechanical tail swings backward aimed at the second monk's gut just as the palm strike hits. Nocturan pauses and shivers for a moment, then snaps out of it, letting out a low, rumbling, metallic, alligator-like roar. He brings his claw blades back in another shower of sparks, and grabs the wickedly barbed spiked chain from around his waist, taking it up in both hands as he looks at the monks around him.
frost_dagger 08-29-03, 08:33 PM	Sivex is about to make a comment, but then his attention's caught by the once screaming, and now silenced monk. " Sayonara. " The young swordsman glances back at Nugan, grinning childishly. " Oh come now Mister Nugan sir. Have you no faith in your kobold? I 'honestly' believe Mister Straak has a plan. No, Im serious. "
Grinning_Skull 08-30-03, 07:38 PM	The monk wrestling with Aysel jumps up, holding something under his arm. He runs out the door. Aysel jumps up, too, and follows him out, cursing loudly in a harsh-sounding language. The tripped monk is spiked through and through. The four other monks continue to circle Nocturan, but, once seeing their fellow monk run out the door, they abandon the giant lizard and stream out (if nobody stops them, that is). Felicity quirks a brow and remarks from her chair in a far corner of the guildhall, "I think we should get another kobold, anyway. Then we can have two! We can call them Straak #1 and Straak #2."
Nimedar 08-31-03, 05:58 PM	Having tracked the Nocturan back here, Nim stakes out the place for a bit. Eventually he sees the group of monks slip in and, having not seen them before, sets off after them, sticking to the shadows to provide stealth and cover. It is then the all-out battle ensues. Nim continues to watch from him vantage point, every muscle tensing in his body with the onset of battle. He looks around, trying to spot the item he was sent to retrieve, but with no luck this far. Deciding he's better off to stay out of the fight if he can, he waits and watches with resolved patience.
Old_Hermit 08-31-03, 07:33 PM	the old one lunges for the monk with the object under his arm and hangs onto his leg. OH is so light however he is easily draged..
frost_dagger 08-31-03, 08:12 PM	Sivex sits up straight from his spot, nodding approvingly. " Ah. Point taken, Miss Rauston. " The young swordsman smirks as he watch the hooded figures goes after the strange woman who left the scene. " How sad. I wish that warrior lady could stay a little longer... Oh well. " Sivex shrugs and stands up. He walks around to examine the dead (assuming they are really dead) monks, even granting them a short prayer spoken in his own oriental dialect.
Nocturan Deadfall 08-31-03, 08:56 PM	Nocturan snarls at the monks as they continue to circle him, then growls as they try to stream out. "Not so fast...." He lunges after the last on in line, slashing with a claw blade at the back of the monk's leg, hoping to hamstring him and immobilize him.
Nugan 08-31-03, 09:47 PM	Nugan crawls out from under the table and stands with a sigh, watching the cleric's stream out. "Well... Let's recoup. We went after Marshal gold, instead we got a hat. The hat turns out to be valuable, so we lose it. In the process we get two bounties on our heads, and Straak runs away..." Nugan glances at the unconsious Sharp. "Oh and she's not looking too good." Nugan sighs again, wipes blood off his chair with a hankerchief, and slumps into it. "I think I'll go see if my father will hire me back... A decade isn't much of an unexcused absense..."
Nimedar 08-31-03, 10:35 PM	Seeing the monk/clerics stream out with the big lizard in their wake, Nim quickly bounds their way, pursuing what he hopes to be the trail once again.
Grinning_Skull 08-31-03, 10:58 PM	Outside the Guildhall, or nearly outside: The monk Nocturan slashes at spins around, sensing the lizard's presence. He gets slashed on the knee and buckles momentarily, then goes for a flurry of hammerfisted punches. The other monks don't pay attention to Noc. One of them pulls out a wickedly curved short blade and hurls it with precision at the old hermit as the others close in after their fellow monk. Two of them hasten their pace and close in on Aysel to attack her violently with a series of trips, punches, and kicks. Frustrated, Aysel turns her attention from the monk with the item under his arm, to her attackers, and begins to defend herself deftly with her scimitar. The monk with the item under his arm quickens his step and hurries away.
Nugan 08-31-03, 11:14 PM	Nugan shakes himself out of his self-pitying thoughts and looks through the door at the fight outside. "Is that still going on? Someone close the door or persure or something, will you?" Nugan glances at Sharp. "Oh, and Gramps, care to take care of Sharp? I'd rather she didn't die after all the life-risking and stuff she did.... Although I guess death would be the natural result of life-risking.... No, you should definately help her...." Nugan shifts his gaze around the rest of the guildhall. "This place could use a good scrubbing and corpse removal too... I guess that'll have to wait till Straak returns or is replaced though..." Nugan turns his gaze to the table-top to conceal a worried look at the mention of Straak.
Nocturan Deadfall 09-01-03, 12:30 AM	Nocturan snarls as he is battered by the flurry of punches, letting the fists strike him and not trying to block as he lashes outward toward both of the monk's legs with the claw blades, still trying to immobilize him. Meanwhile, the ten lengths of chains, which include the barbed chain he held as a weapon, raise and flash forward with great speed, aiming to wrap the monk up around the waist to capture him.
Old_Hermit 09-01-03, 01:12 AM	the old one sees the blade befor its thrown and screams. as it whips through the air at him his hands snap up with lighting speed and catch the blade betweem them right infront of his face. he opens his eyes and sighs in relife, not beliving hes alive he let go of the monk of course to do so however.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 09-01-03, 01:24 AM	Asthnar, not one to be denied, fades to his semi-translucent form and (with him being a monk as well) runs after the monk with the hat.
bootezu king 09-01-03, 01:27 AM	The 'great' bootanaz, who was watching this whole thing, flys at the monk with the hat and attempts to swipe it with surprize
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-02-03, 03:33 PM	A small brown weasel watches the fight from the guildhall's rafters. As the fight moves outside he scurries up the wall and pushes open a small hatch in the roof with his nose. He crawls outside and scurries to the edge of the rooftop, peering down at the combatants.
Grinning_Skull 09-02-03, 04:56 PM	The monk fighting Nocturan is captured by the chains. The monk with the hat runs away with the hat into a murky grey portal, followed closely by the other (alive) monks, excluding the one fighting Noc. (( Sorry fellas, but this has gone on longer than expected, so I'm cutting the chase short. Next stage of the plot, anyone? ))
Nugan 09-02-03, 05:35 PM	Nugan sighs. "Well... That couldn't have gone worse...." Nugan winces and knocks on the table in front of him. "Anyway... Someone want to take care of Sharp? Oh and the corpses could go too... Not that they don't add an air of legitimancy to the place..." Nugan spots the unconsious child and sighs again. "Someone throw a sheet over him or something... He's depressing." ((Edit: I'm going to send out a mass email at some point saying that the Grinning Skull have the hat, and asking what everyone wants to do next. Meanwhile, we can keep the thread moving. I think there's some things that need to be cleaned up before we can add a time lapse.))
Old_Hermit 09-02-03, 06:22 PM	the old one grumbles as they (cheaply ;) ) get away. he heads back into the guildhall and haunches over sharp. a white light covers her body and she heals. he smiles "there ya go lil gnome. good as new" he flumps into a chair
MindFlayer_Asthnar 09-02-03, 06:26 PM	Asthnar curses in undercommen as he fades from view to find out where they went with the hat
bootezu king 09-02-03, 06:28 PM	Bootanaz aperantly misses. he grumbles and lands up on the roof with the weasil "you respect me dont you?"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-02-03, 06:47 PM	Bandit stands up on two legs, shrugs his shoulders at the Bootezu, and lets out a chirp. He then drops back to all fours and scurries back into the Guildhall through the hatch.
Sharp 09-02-03, 07:03 PM	Sharp finally comes to herself...under the table. She notes with a bit of surprise how much pain she isn't in...and looks around. "What happened here?!"
Nugan 09-02-03, 07:05 PM	Nugan glances at Sharp and forces a smirk. "Well... we lost.... in more ways than one..."
Sharp 09-02-03, 07:06 PM	She groaned. "Nugan!"
Nugan 09-02-03, 07:09 PM	Nugan puts up his hands defensively. "What? I didn't say it was my fault... I was under the table the whole time... so I couldn't do anything..." Nugan sighs. "Ok, so it was sorta my fault...."
Sharp 09-02-03, 07:12 PM	"Were you conscious?...yes...then it was your fault!" She goes scrambles about trying to take stock of everyone. No else seemed to be down...that was good. "Where's Straak?"
Nugan 09-02-03, 07:14 PM	Nugan gulps. "Yeah... About that... he sorta... ran away... somewhere..."
Sharp 09-02-03, 07:14 PM	"Ran...away?"
Nugan 09-02-03, 07:17 PM	Nugan nods. "Yeah... in the middle of the battle he got up, said he had a plan, and ran outside. He hasn't come back yet..."
Sharp 09-02-03, 07:22 PM	She sighs. Poor Straak... "Allright...now what?...oh..." She moves closer to Nugan and lowers her voice. "A fellow fought with Noc after you all left and trailed him back here..."
Nugan 09-02-03, 07:27 PM	Nugan raises his eyebrows. "Oh? Any 'fellow' I might know? Did he stick around?" Nugan glances into the rafters and claps.
Sharp 09-02-03, 07:30 PM	Is still speaking quietly... "Some merc...a mage...used something like a magic mirror spell. You may well have seen him before, I haven't...and Noc can probably describe him better than I can."
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-02-03, 07:30 PM	Bandit scurries from the rafters down the building's supports and onto the tabletop near Nugan.
bootezu king 09-02-03, 07:32 PM	Bootanaz follows it through the hatch and makes a mental note that its here
Nugan 09-02-03, 07:35 PM	Nugan nods. "Thanks for the heads up Sharp..." Nugan leans in to Bandit and whispers something to him.
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-02-03, 08:07 PM	Bandit perches on his back feet, and listens. He chirps in response to Nugan, drops to all fours, and scurries out the still open guildhall door. He then keeps himself low to the ground and scurries through the grass till he spots Nimedar. After which he freezes in places and watches him.
Manger Corelus 09-03-03, 06:16 PM	Manger was still puffing as he ripped the axe out of his dead monk/cleric's back. He flopped down on his backside hard, and breathed, holding his chest with one hand. "I'm getting too old to be doing this," he wheezes.
Nimedar 09-03-03, 11:01 PM	With a muttered curse, Nim watches the monk/clerics dissapear into their portal. The veil over his nose and mouth retracts as he sheathes his weapon and begins the chant to open a portal, stepping through once it forms.
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-04-03, 01:00 PM	Bandit watches Nimedar leave, then turns and scurries back into the guildhall. He scurries onto the table, and over to Nugan before sitting standing on his rear feet and chirping at him.
Nugan 09-05-03, 12:30 AM	Nugan nods to Bandit and turns to the others. "Well, he left... I'm guessing that so long as the hat's gone we're safe..." Nugan smirks. "So, about getting that hat back..." ((Ok, *time lapse* After this post it will be one week later. Apathy has been working to regain the hat, but has been unsucessful so far. I'll let you guys build on the rest. Oh, and that email will go out tommorrow with any luck. I've been busy lately.))
Nugan 09-08-03, 02:18 PM	Nugan blinks into existence, seated in his chair. He turns to the others in the Guildhall with a look of concern. "Bad news everyone..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 02:59 PM	She glances at Nugan from where she'd been sitting, her expression unreadable. "You have a great talent for understatement."
Nugan 09-08-03, 03:04 PM	Nugan nods to Sharp. "I know, I know. Isn't it terrible? I just came back from the Gauntlet in the arena, and... Grineck's hat was destroyed..." Nugan smirks. "Oh yeah, and no sign of Straak, the Grinning Skull, our stalker, or the hat yet..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 03:08 PM	She is sitting crosslegged on a table top, working on a silver puzzlebox. She does not look at Nugan. "That doesn't surprise me really."
Nugan 09-08-03, 03:13 PM	Nugan glances at Sharp. "It doesn't surprise me either. That's life, Straak's probably working for that assassin's guild that opened up recently, the Grinning Skull probably took the hat far away and are slightly increasing thelevel of sufering on some obscure plane somewhere, and our stalker probably got bored and went off to gather locks of some minor celebrity's hair..." Nugan blinks. "Wait, did you just say it didn't surprise you? Shouldn't you be chiding me for not crawling around on all fours in the Juxtan marketplace looking for Straak's footprints?"
Sharp 09-08-03, 03:19 PM	Sharp sighs and smiles a little sadly at Nugan, glancing at him again over her shoulder. "Nope." She turns back to her puzzle box. "I can't imagine you crawling around looking for anyone." There is a click and the box comes open. She turns to Nugan. "That is just how you are." She gets off the table and walks over to him. "So...what shall we...that is...what is to be done...about all this?"
Nugan 09-08-03, 03:26 PM	Nugan narrows his eyes as he watches Sharp. "Well, that's a good question... I guess the first question is: Do we do anything? I mean, it might be safer to stick around her in relative safety... Maybe work on fortifing the Guildhall more, and hope that this all blows over.... Then again, I would like to have something to show for all that work..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 03:35 PM	She smirks. "Nugan as recent events have proven you are not safe anywhere. The only reason this hat mess is still going on are because the Marshals are so concerned with other affairs at present they aren't doing anything about it. True the Skull isn't trying to kill us anymore...but as it stands...we lost. On both fronts. That means no money..." She eyes him cooly. "I, for one, think that merits doing something."
Nugan 09-08-03, 03:41 PM	Nugan sighs. "So the whole 'nothing' option doesn't work for you then? I guess I saw that much coming.... So we go hat hunting then? Great... Well Sharp, if your so insistent.... Do you have any idea where we should start looking?'"
Sharp 09-08-03, 03:46 PM	"I could find out. But frankly Nugan, I do not like your tone, considering what you owe...." She has never shown him anger before today.
Nugan 09-08-03, 03:52 PM	Nugan winces for a momment, but then forces a smirk. "Yes... That's right... I owe you an apology. I'm not sure what for, but apparently something has gotten to you, and somehow I'm sure that it can't be anyone else's fault... So, before something stupid gets said, let's hear what's been bothering you. I'm guessing its not my imcompetant leadership, because that's been a given from day one..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 03:58 PM	"Yes, it has." She looks around at the others present. Then she looks at Nugan...and nods to him once almost imperceptibly. "Truth of the matter is...you know full well what you have and have not done...along with what must be done. Do you understand me?"
Nugan 09-08-03, 04:04 PM	Nugan sighs. "I understand.... that I can't ask for suggestions anymore without someone snipping at me. You know, one would almost think that you have some more power in the guild than other members... That I owe you some debt or something..." Nugan smirks. "Oh wait, I do... Yeah, yeah, I borrowed quite the little pile from you to keep the Guild from going under, didn't I? That must be what your waving over my head right now.... Well, you know what, I think Straak may just have had the right idea..." Nugan begins to stand.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 09-08-03, 04:07 PM	asthnar fades into view at his useual place by the door. he is in his semi-translucent state. the first thing he does is chuckle then say a kind mental hello to all here. "So. whats on the apathy agenda today?"
Sharp 09-08-03, 04:10 PM	"Oh bullfinches. I should have just let that preistess keep your soul. You don't deserve it." Hopps up into his chair after he vacates it.
Nugan 09-08-03, 04:12 PM	Nugan sighs and gestures to Asthnar. "Well, I'm incompetant and all, but the first thing I would do is kill him..." Nugan smirks. "Good luck Sharp." Nugan makes a gesture and vanishes. ((No worries everyone, all of this is IC only. Apathy related OOC stuff should still be sent to me, and Nugan will be back in his chair in good time.))
Sharp 09-08-03, 04:14 PM	She blinks What the in the Nine?!
Straak 09-08-03, 04:15 PM	Straak opens the door and steps into the Guildhall. "Yah boss... Sorry bout, ya know, running away.... I was looking for, ya know, info..." Straak spots Sharp in Nugan's seat. "Yah.... Boss?"
MindFlayer_Asthnar 09-08-03, 04:15 PM	Asthnar makes a sarcastic gasp Well well.. such a crule hello.. What ever did i do to get that
Sharp 09-08-03, 04:57 PM	"Straak!" Leaps up and runs to the Kobold. "Thank the gods! your boss is being an idiot today. Please say you can do something to help him!?"
Straak 09-08-03, 05:00 PM	Straak blinks and smiles comfortingly at Sharp. "Yah... Tha boss is never a, ya know, idiot... I'm sure he, ya know, knows what he's doing... Yah... Where is tha boss anyway?"
Sharp 09-08-03, 05:05 PM	She grimaces at Straak. I should have known better "Oh Straak...you have no idea. He's run off."
Straak 09-08-03, 05:10 PM	Straak frowns and shifts his gaze to the floor. "Oh no.... He didn't, ya know, go looking for me, did he?" Straak begins to tear up. "Yah... I knew I should've told tha boss... Now he's, ya know, lost or something and... Yah... its my fault..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 05:22 PM	"I wish that were true, but I don't think so. Yes you should have told him and all of us. "Where were you? Straak...he got nearly killed by some witch last week and hardly anyone lifted so much as a finger to help...he had two days...!" She grimaces at the memory. "Maybe that is why he is acting so weird...having one's soul forcibleby removed can't be fun..."
Straak 09-08-03, 05:30 PM	Straak stares blankly at Sharp for a momment before his tears begin to get stronger. He buries his head in his hands. "Yah... I knew it, I knew it... It was all, ya know, my fault... I let tha boss get... yah..." Straak shakes himself and wipes away his tears, looking up again. "Yah... Where'd he, ya know, go? I gotta get him..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 06:12 PM	"I don't know!" She lowers her voice a great deal. "The hat is gone Straak...and worse...Nugan madea a deal with me...I loaned him a great deal of money...this guild is the collateral. Regardless of what he says I know he doesn't really want to give up on it. Please...find him...I'll help. " She looks at Straak seriously.
Straak 09-08-03, 06:14 PM	Straak gulps and nods. "Yah... Come on.... I think I, ya know, have an idea... I hope I still know tha boss', ya know, mind well..." Straak turns and hurries through the Guildhall's doors.
Sharp 09-08-03, 06:16 PM	She gets up, grabs her pack and hurries after Straak...
Straak 09-08-03, 07:10 PM	Straak wanders back into the Guildhall, choking back tears. "Yah... So, I guess that's.... Ya know... it..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 07:25 PM	Sharp walks in behind Straak. "That didn't go well at all..."
Straak 09-08-03, 07:30 PM	Straak shakes his head sadly. "No, it, ya know, didn't...." Straak sighs and looks up at Sharp. "What are we, ya know, gonna do now?"
Sharp 09-08-03, 07:44 PM	Sharp sighs and puts reassuring hand on Straak's shoulder. "Come to greyhawk with me. I have an idea."
Straak 09-08-03, 07:45 PM	Straak nods. "Yah... I'm done for, ya know, anything that might get tha boss back..."
Nugan 09-08-03, 07:46 PM	((And in goes a small time-lapse. Probably to later the same night.))
Straak 09-08-03, 08:17 PM	Straak walks back into the Guildhall, gulping, and glances from side to side. "Yah... I think we, ya know, beat him here..." Straak gives an anxious look at the door. "I hope this, ya know, gets tha bos back.... Cause otherwise... I... Ya, I don't wanna think about it..."
Sharp 09-08-03, 08:19 PM	Sharp comes in and stops at Straak's shoulder. "Me neither..." She looks at Straak. "I have to go...for now. You take care. Ok? I'll be nearby if you need me. You know where." She leaves quietly.
Straak 09-08-03, 08:28 PM	Straak nods. "Yah... Like tha boss would, ya know, say: Good luck."
Dalineous Faustin 09-09-03, 01:41 PM	The sound of distant carnival-esque music can be heard growing closer and closer to the guildhall. Faint cheers can be heard as well.
Straak 09-09-03, 01:42 PM	Straak gulps. "Yah... I don't, ya know, like tha sound of dat..."
WraithOfHouseToHouse 09-09-03, 11:04 PM	Two gnomes throw open the doors of the Apathy guild hall and a large procession filled with lines of servants...including what looks to be an entire harem of various humanoid (some just barely) females...parades into the room. An elven man carrying a musket-like weapon dressed in brown wizard robes with the sleeve's torn off stands at the front of the line. Nore o.0 (Damn....i can't believe Dalineous made me do this..) As the procession enters, the man begins to sing: Make way for Emperor Faustin Say hey! It's Emperor Faustin Hey! Clear the way or you’ll be run down Hey you! Let us through! We come to take your town Oh Come! Be the first on your block to see your God. Get down! Here he comes! Raise tolls! Clear the slums! Or we’ll have to strike you down! Emperor Dalineous - Greater than us - Faustin 'Cause it's he! Oh yes it's he! Dalineous Faustin And he gets, little respect But that he can't see Emperor Dalineous Greater than us Faustin Large as ten unmodified men, definitely! He’s slept with all the town ****** A hundred wenches with warts Who stole my wife off my porch? Why, Emperor Dalineous It can't be, any but he, Dalineous Faustin! That ego! We know how it goes! Over the edge He'll go to hell isn't it swell He will complain and he'll yell To get what he wants and he'll tell you what to do! There's no way around Dalineous’s self-assuring Never grounded, delusion soaring Every moment the man just obsesses He's an emperor, he's a god, a wonder! No force in existence can pull him under! But the truth of it all only depresses. He's got seventy-five stolen widows In his harem He's got fifty-three When it comes time to line them up for breeding Has he got a que? I'm telling you, it's a human rights catastrophe! He's got ninety-five lizardfolk go-girls (He's got the lizzies, let's see the lets see the lizzies) Whom he purchased for quite a small fee (He's amorous, so amorous) He's got servant girls, groupies and loveslaves (Working out of fear for their lives) They lay in his den pleasuring him They exist only for the amusement of Him! Emperor Faustin! Emperor Faustin Glorious him! Alias “Your God” Heard your princess was a ho as was your queen And that, good people, is why he gathered his gnomes and dropped by With sixty expendables, human shields galore With his gnomes and halflings A spaceship and more With his forty councilmen, his thugs, his go-to men Dire roaches that are smarter than him! Make way for Emperor Faustin.
Dalineous Faustin 09-09-03, 11:33 PM	Dalineous zips into the Guildhall standing on the nose of a crude gyrocopter controled by a gnomish man. Dalineous jumps from the device as it begins to sputter, leaving it to crash through a window and land in a flaming wreck in back of the guildhall. He does a backflip in the air, draws his sword in mid-jump and lands on the table with it outsretched and pointing at the cieling. "The great Emporer, leader of Faustinia, planar monarch, soon to be diety, and your new boss Dalineous Faustin at your service!"
Straak 09-09-03, 11:40 PM	Straak stands, awestruck, staring blankly as the performers burst in. He shakes himself back to attention as Dalineous speaks. "Yah... Hi..."
Nocturan Deadfall 09-10-03, 05:12 PM	Nocturan walks out of his room, a full tankard of trollslayer in his right hand. His armor has been mostly repaired, except for the plate over his left shoulder, which has been removed for replacement. Revealed by this is a device the size of a bread box with a single red light bulb-like part attached, along with several wires and what appears to be some sort of fuel tanks. He looks over at Dalineous and rolls his eyes. "Bloody hell...." He chugs his tankard dry and takes aim, hurling the metal mug full force at Faustin's head. He then turns to Straak, not even paying attention to whether or not the mug hits. "Hey Straak, where did I leave that big metal pipe that I use for beating annoying people senseless?"
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-10-03, 05:41 PM	Ralmekiv, a once human man who is now a lich clad in black and red robes and carrying a greataxe, walks in behind the 'caravan', rolling his eyes and shaking his head. Shortly behind him are two female zombies who seem to have been stitched together and wear well kept clothing. He steps right past Dalineous, moving to thwap him on the back of the head as he passes by. Walking to the table, he sits down, and smirks over at Nocturan. "So this is the rathole you've been hanging out in lately? Not bad.... Not good either.... But not bad...."
Dalineous Faustin 09-10-03, 07:10 PM	Dalineous's sword is stuck by the tankard, knocking it out of his hand, and setting him off balance, sending him tubbling to the floor. He stands, adjusts his crown, and looks to Nocturan. "Nocturan, Nocturan, Nocturan.... How are you? Its going to be so wonderful to have you working for me again. Don't you agree? Remember that night I impale you in the middle of the street to the cheers of all the gnomish peasents? Wasn't that just the greatest? Dalineous laughs and moves to Nugan's chair, leaps onto it and turns to the others in the Guildhall. "Now, time to get to work everyone..."
Straak 09-10-03, 07:15 PM	Straak shakes his head and turns from Dalineous to Nocturan. "Yah... tha boss made me lock it up, cause he was afraid ya might, ya know, kill him with it..." Straak takes another look at Dalineous. "Yah... I'll go get it..." Straak walks over to the Trophy room portal, takes a key out of his portal, uses it to activate the portal, and steps inside. He emerges a few momments later dragging a long iron pipe behind him, which he drags to Nocturan. "Yah... here ya, ya know, go..."
Old_Hermit 09-10-03, 10:55 PM	the old one is seen dancing with some of the harem girls
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-11-03, 03:25 PM	Bandit lifts the ceiling hatch with his nose and scurries through it, droppping silently onto the rafters. He scurriies to the edge of one of the beams and stares down at the happening in the guildhall.
Straak 09-11-03, 05:29 PM	Straak looks over to Dalineous. "Yah... work? Ya got a, ya know, job for us already? What are we gonna be, ya know, taking this time?"
Dalineous Faustin 09-11-03, 05:31 PM	Dalineous laughs and leans back in the chair, making a wide sweeping motion with his arms. "Take? Why, we are going to take Juxta. What else?"
Straak 09-11-03, 05:33 PM	Straak blinks. "Yah... Juxta? Ya mean tha whole, ya know, plane? Like, ya know, take it over?"
Dalineous Faustin 09-11-03, 05:35 PM	Dalineous claps, and smiles to Straak. "And here I thought by your speech problems that you were mentally defective... Yes, yes, Juxta, all of it."
Straak 09-11-03, 05:37 PM	Straak sighs. "Yah... Ya do know that dis is a, ya know, thieves guild.... don't ya?"
Dalineous Faustin 09-11-03, 05:48 PM	Dalineous pauses for a momment. "Well..." Dalineous shakes himself and makes another sweeping gesture. "Of course I did! My divine right makes mistakes that a communication-impared kobold might make impossible. However, you will no longer be a thieves guild per se. You are all members of Fuastinian Inner Circle now." Dalineous claps, and dancing girls holding crowns emerge from the crowd and place crowns that read "Inner Circle" on all of those in the Guildhall besides Straak. "Oh, not you Straak... Don't worry, we have something for those who think they have a right to question an Emporer." Dalineous claps again, and a new group of dancing girls emerge and place a crown on Straak's head that reads "Expendable Officer".
Nocturan Deadfall 09-11-03, 05:48 PM	Nocturan picks up the iron pipe that Straak dragged out, hefting the metal with his right arm. He rolls his eyes at Dalineous's plans. "Again? You're going to try to do this again?! What in the Nine Hells is wrong with you Faustin? Are you really this stupid? You're a damn parody of reality you egostical freak!" He knocks the crown off of his head with a swipe of his left hand, glaring at the girls who put it their. He then glances at the iron pipe, then at Dalineous, then to Straak. "I'll be right back.... I'm gonna need a heaver pipe to take care of this overinflated ego." With that, the mecha lizardman walks out, tossing the iron pipe over his shoulder like a toothpick, sending it flying straight at.... Dalineous, of course.
Straak 09-11-03, 05:51 PM	Straak takes off the crown and reads it. "Yah...." Straak turns towards the doorway. "I'll be right, ya know, back..." Straak hurries outside, and begins looking for Sharp.
Dalineous Faustin 09-11-03, 05:58 PM	Dalineous ducks the pipe, but it hits the top of his chair, knocking it backwards, and sending Dalineous tumbling to the floor. "What in the name of myself?!" Dalineous pulls himself to his feet, straightens his crown and draws his sword. "Now Nocturan, that was a direct show of disrespect to one of a higher, much higher, social rank. I'm afraid I'll have to... Wait... Where's Nocturan?"
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-11-03, 06:00 PM	Ralmekiv snickers as he listens to Dalineous blathering on about taking over Juxta. "Don't you ever learn? You're just going to get your arse handed to you again like you always should. Then it'll be the crystal jar for you. At least until that freak of a deity sends his unicorn to impale and resurrect you that is....." One of the two stitched together zombie servants step up behind Ralmekiv and rub his shoulders, really pointless considering that he's a lich. The other sits at his side and cleans the stubs where fingernails would be if they hadn't fallen out due to lack of life in his veins. Ralmekiv sits back with a smirk as he puts his feet up on the table, leaning back and shaking his head as he is sure that the babbling will continue.
Old_Hermit 09-11-03, 06:10 PM	the old one takes his crown (assuming he got one) and creates a throne out of air. he looks at Dalineous and says "wow! so what am i the overlord of!"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-11-03, 06:13 PM	Bandit turns and scurries back to the hatch. He pushes it open and climbs outside.
Dalineous Faustin 09-11-03, 06:40 PM	Dalineous looks to Ralmekiv and laughs. "Kivvy, Kivvy, Kivvy...When has one of my plabs even not worked as I planned it? And don't say, because I llost some battle. That's all part of a masterful stradgey that your dive-right-less mind couldn't possibly grasp..." Dalineous smiles at the hemit. "Why when I take over everything, it'll be divided evenly to all of my Inner Circle to rule under me... Of course, there's two-hundred and seventy-eight members of my Inner Circle... But that's still alot since this is everything we're talking about."
Old_Hermit 09-11-03, 10:07 PM	the old one seems to hear his own story "Oh.. so im gonna rule all of the universe huh.. cool. thanks i guess. Well.. my grandson nugan always said i would own the universe one day and i guess he knew what he was talkin about!"
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-12-03, 07:23 AM	Ralmekiv smirks at Dalineous. "Oh, of course, nothing ever goes wrong." He looks over to Straak. "Hey, half pint. How long do you think it'll take Noc to get what he went after?"
Nocturan Deadfall 09-12-03, 07:30 AM	Nocturan stomps back into the guildhall, flinging the doors open as he walks through and inside. Set over his right shoulder is a metal beam about the size of an average tree trunk. He looks around momentarily, then looks right at Dalineous. "Alright.... It's time to exterminate some primates." He hefts the metal bar into both hands like a two handed club and stalks toward Dalineous slowly.
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-12-03, 07:38 AM	Ralmekiv smirks as he looks from Straak to the doors as they fling open. "I guess it takes about that long."
Dalineous Faustin 09-12-03, 11:28 AM	Dalineous spots Nocturan and smiles. "Oh, there you are Nocturan..." Dalineous claps, and gestures towards Nore and the rest of the Inner Circle. "Grab him, chain him up, and get me some tools." Dalineous smiles at Nocturan again. "No worries Noccy, you're just about to be punished for treason and blasphemy, that's all..."
Old_Hermit 09-12-03, 03:17 PM	the old one laughs "Hey.. if im gonna rule everything shouldnt you be taking orders from me? in anycase.. now way am i going after him.. just look.. itd take 50 chains the size of that beam hes hefting if not more to restrain him.. you should run now and talk later"
Nocturan Deadfall 09-14-03, 03:35 AM	Nocturan smirks as the chains surrounding his form rise up and slither in the air like snakes. "Chains? I got your damn chains right here you piece of monkey filth." He glares at anyone wearing one of those crowns, brandishing the metal beam that must weight about a hundred or more pounds. "Anyone of you primates even tries it...." He pauses his speech to let out a reptilian roar as he slams the bar against the table with enough force to brak most doors in half. "Do I have to continue that sentence, or do you get the point?" Knowing the likely answer to that, he turns his attention back to Dalineous, walking forward towards him, the metal beam held out in front, which once close enough for comparison, seems to be heavier than Faustin is. The chains remain up and in a readied position, waiting for anyone to step in.
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-14-03, 04:27 AM	Ralmekiv looks at Dalineous, clearly considering the 'emperor' to be a complete idiot. "Maaaan, hell no. I don't get payed enough, or at all. And besides that, I want to see him kick your sorry arse halfway into the next age. So yeah, enjoy your beating." He sits back and nearly jumps out of his seat as the beam hits the table his feet are on. "Damn man, watch it with that thing...."
Lucere 09-15-03, 05:03 PM	Nugan, Rocky, Steelgrind, and Lucere make their way to the guild apathy never stopping to disscuss all the specifics of their plan...
Nugan 09-15-03, 05:45 PM	((Looks like Lucere beat me here.)) Nugan steps up to the Guildhall door and wraps on it. "Hello?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-15-03, 05:53 PM	The one referred to as Steelgrind is a male dwarf, clad in flowing robes of white silk and orange atlas, his white beard weaved to a single, massive and well-tended braid. The dwarf is as clean as can be, obviously wealthy, and probably of a high social layer; A nobleman to asume the least. His boots are plated with silver, and bear silver spikes - probably a symbol of the Rendergrim Clan. On his side hangs a small bumerang-axe - a rare object, with which the nobleman probably has no skill, and carries it as a status-symbol. He is rather fat, and by the way his robes lye, a carefull eye can notice there is probably more than just his belly under them. Most likely, he carries his portable belongings on a belt under the robes. He speaks to the only man whom this guild have known through its entire existance: Nugan, the former leader of Apathy. Steelgrind seems to speak no common, and uses Nugan as a translator.
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-15-03, 06:26 PM	Bandit forces open the ceiling hatch and crawls onto a beam, holding a platinum key in his mouth. ((I'm guessing the 'raiding party' is on the roof waiting for the sign to move in?))
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 06:37 PM	Dalineous, stands, and draws his sword, turning towards Notcuran. "Noccy, why can't you ever just learn a bit of obediance and loyalty. Don't you believe in the divine right of-" Dalineous sighs and turns to the door as he hears the knocking. "Someone get that!" Dalineous wait for a momment, and then sighs, walks to the door and opens it himself. "Hello and welcome to the residence of the great Emperor Dalineous Faust-Oh, its you... What in Draconus's sandals do you want?"
Nugan 09-15-03, 06:41 PM	Nugan bows to Dalineous with a smirk. "Sorry to bother you great Emperor Faustin, but..." Nugan gestures to several large kegs on a carriage beside him. "I just wanted to stop by and give you these, to show you there were no hard feelings, and so you wouldn't try to conquer/kill/ravage me and such..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 07:15 PM	Dalineous laughs and claps. "Aha! Now we're talking! Nore, have the gnomes bring them in and break them open. We'll celebrate our conquering of Juxta early!"
Straak 09-15-03, 07:23 PM	Straak walks up to the Guildhall door from outside, trying to conceal a smile. "Yah... I'm, ya know, back... ta die and stuff..." Straak looks and Nugan and acts shocked. "Yah.... Boss! What are ya, ya know, doing here?"
Golddigger Dwarf 09-15-03, 07:27 PM	Rocky keeps a close eye on his so called new friends. Not ready to give them his back, nor his trust. He cant help but wonder if this will get them rich or dead.
Nugan 09-15-03, 07:28 PM	Nugan smirks at Straak. "What, I can't even visit? Have you really moved on like that... Ok, I'm hear giving Dalineous a gift so I don't get drafted after he takes over the world and so forth...." Nugan moves into the Guildhall, and drops into an abandoned seat with the name 'Dasan' on it. "Mind if I come in for a little while, great Emperor? Wow, I've been missing out sitting in the same place every day... This one feels like it was never used at all."
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 07:48 PM	A shadowy figure that looks vaguely human slips through the walls and into the guildhall and turns its head to look around. It ponders something for a second. "I thought i smelled negative energy..." o.0 (Someone's gonna have a fertillized ovum growing inside of them after i'm finished here.) The drakhara begins to walk in the direction of Faustin, smiling a shadowy smile.
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 07:57 PM	Dalineous walks over to a keg, gets a drink, and hops onto the table, holding his mug high. "To the Fuastinian Empire! And its deific leader!" Dalineous looks down at the others and sighs. "What are you bastards looking at! I'm toasting here! Oh... damn..." Dalineous turns to face the Drakhara tries to hide a gulp.
Nugan 09-15-03, 08:01 PM	Nugan settles back in his chair, surveys the Guildhall with a smirk, and makes a slight gesture towards Bandit. "So... Emperor.... How are you planning to..." Nugan blinks as he spots the Drakhara. "Err... Who the what now?"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-15-03, 08:25 PM	Bandit, set the key on the beam, sticks his head through the roof hatch, and chirps to those outside. He then ducks back inside, picks up the key and begins scurrying towards the end of the Guildhall with the portal.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-15-03, 08:39 PM	~What? Why hast thou awakened me? Is thy temporary freedom a burden thou cannae bear?! ~Thou may wish to see this... spirit. Unless thy equipment is blessed appropriately, i see no way to "keep it busy", for mine is not. ~Underspecive worthless fool! Ofcourse it is! And these are no Abieran Harpers, so do not fear a spirit's cooperation with them! If thou cannae even drag thyself through this tiny endeavor, then be it; Thou shall remain imprisoned withing thy own flesh, only providing me with knowlege of thyself, so i may be all thou art too low to. ~No! No. No... i can deal with this. I will... i shall acomplish this... tis good for all Juxta, in a way. Please... The dwarf's eyes bursted in yellow all of a sudden. The yellow, glowing color persisted for a few long seconds, and then instantly dissapeared, leaving the eyes brown again. Steelgrind sat down next to Nugan, frowning over the later's rudeness of sitting before the one he is to represent. after bowing slightly to the "emperor", he speaks to the ex-guildmaster in dwarven: "Present me to him as Steelgrind of Rendergrim - His excelence's holy counterpart withing the mountins, and a slave of Mask."
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 08:46 PM	The drakhara waves to Dalineous and then fades out of view..... (( The room begins to swirl around your head and bizarre images pop in and out of your mind. You feel your head being almost forced to look downward at the floor, and when you are able to look up, the Guildhall is no longer there. In its place is a small dillapidated room with drabbly painted cinderblock walls and a dusty wooden floor that is stained with blood in some places, and multicolored fluids in others. The room has many beds and lanterns sway from hooks on the low ceiling. There are sick people in the beds. Lots of them, sometimes two to a bed. Some look emaciated, others have broken or maimed limbs. A few orderlies hussle around the room carrying vials of various shapes and sizes, as well as surgical instruments, some very basic. As you peer around, you see one of the nurses is draping the body of a young man who has just died. Outside, you can hear the sounds of shovels flinging dirt hither and thither. All in all a pretty happy-go-lucky scene :D ))
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 08:46 PM	Dalineous nods absently to Steegrind, still staring at the Drakhara. "Oh... Hail... Good... Dwarven... Whatever.... We're all going to die..." Dalineous drops his mug, and falls to the floor as the room begins to spin. ((Edit: Drakhara posted at almost the same time as I did. ))
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-15-03, 09:15 PM	Bandit pauses as the room spins, and finds himself on a thin bamboo rod near the cieling, and staring at a batter screen door that way once the doorway to the trophy room. He chirps and struggles to steady himself on the rod.
Nugan 09-15-03, 09:24 PM	Nugan holds his head as the room spins. He raises it as the new room comes into focus and looks around. "Great..."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-15-03, 09:34 PM	Steelgrind seems annoied, but not surprised. He turns to Nugan again, speaking to him in dwarven. "Ask his exelence what does this mean, and wether i am to understand that he betraied our trust, and is begging to get massacred. Edit as thou wisheth."
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 09:39 PM	((hehe doh, wrong poster))
Nugan 09-15-03, 09:42 PM	Nugan looks to Steelgrind. "Yeah... Now might be a good time to tell you that I don't speak... Whatever that is... oh, and look around, we have worse problems." Nugan turns to Dalineous. "So, great Emperor.... What the hell happened?"
Anna Who Has No Borders 09-15-03, 09:45 PM	A tall elven woman steps out from a closet in the room. She is dressed in a long white robe that is stained and dirtied by her work. Her brown hair is a mess with tangles and her eyes are reddened, indication of great fatigue. A saw, its blade darkened with red, sticks out of the right pocket on her robe and in her hands is a piece of parchement. She walks slowly over to the bed in which the man just died and looks down sighing a heavy sigh. "God, has another died? I can't deal with this anymore." The woman tears up and starts to cry, but barely manages to hold herself together long enough to motion for the orderlies to take the corpse outside for burial. "Sometimes i just wonder is it all worth it, then i look at the children and..." The woman looks over in the direction of the people that just arrived. "Where in the name of god, whom i don't believe in, did you come from?... If..if your here for treatment, you'll all have to wait outside..we're badly understaffed as usual, and i've got patients who take priority over you..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 09:53 PM	Dalineous stands, and glances at Nugan. "The Drakhara happened..." Dalineous spots Anna, and shoot Nugan a glance. "Excuse me... Royal duties to attend to..." Dalineous walks over to Anna, looks her over thoroughly without trying to hide it, and smiles. "Good news good lady, you have been chosen to provide companionship to the great Emperor Dalineous Faustin."
Anna Who Has No Borders 09-15-03, 10:03 PM	Anna looks over to Dalineous with frown, wiping a few tears from her face. "Excuse me, but who in the bloody hell are you? If you didn't notice i'm very busy...a lot of sick to care for..and the dead..." She almost starts to cry again, but bites her tongue "Now if you'll excuse me, i'll go back to my duties..Orderlies...please get rid of him, now." Two beefy looking male orderlies trod over to Dalineous and brandish their shovels at him
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 10:34 PM	Dalineous laughs and draws his sword again. "Stand down, the woman is no longer your's, by order of the great Emperor Dalineous Faustin." Dalineous looks to Anna. "That was not a request lady, it was an order."
Anna Who Has No Borders 09-15-03, 10:41 PM	One of the orderlies rushes Dalineous, swinging his shovel as he goes, but gets caught up on a piece of rope hanging from the ceiling and trips, sliding into a bed with an injured man on it and toppling it over. The man cries out in pain. The other orderly drops his shovel and rushes over to turn the toppled bed back upright again and get the man back onto it, but in the process breaks some of the man's bones, weak from malnutrition. Anna, watching all of this, lets out a cry and puts her face in her hands. She begins to mumble something. "Keep together, be professional, keep it together, come on keep it together, be professional..."
Nugan 09-15-03, 10:46 PM	Nugan shakes his head at Dalineous and stands, examining his surroundings. "Well... It certainly looks legit..." Nugan smirks. "I haven't seen anything like this since Yanen's bone lord was destroyed by Riacel..."
Gene_Kynes 09-15-03, 10:50 PM	(( Heh...I know this isn't closed, but if you dislike my enterance...please tell me, Nugan? Or..anyone else? Edit: He...Shadowjumped in. Oh, and...hiya, everyone!)) The gentle sound of clapping was heard, slightly muffled by the black leather of his gloves. The shadows congealed, thickened...in a spot of bare floor, and when you dare glance away...a young man is suddenly there. Deep black hair that provides a small veil for his contrasting eyes...oddly red and blue...and light skin, he seems almost...contrasting. He is clad in clean, dark blue trousers, overshirt, and cloak, no weapons visible on his person. The mantle is obviously well-used, heavily tattered. Except for this, he seems to have a generally clean look, tinged with a roguish look that seems ever-present in his eyes. He steps out in front of the man, before his clapping stops. "Politicians. They carry so much weight, and yet fail their ultimate duty...to fade into the obscurity of time." Two black-clad arms cross, as he stops moving. "This is no time to make a lady cry, "Emperor". I came here with some...interest...in a rather skilled Guild, and...this is what I bear witness to?" He shakes his head slowly. "I suggest you stop this...immediately. I may've come to gain an insight into joining, but it seems I've also to stop a bit of irrequired violence. No tact, you know?"
Nugan 09-15-03, 10:57 PM	((No, its completely fine Gene. Welcome abroad. :D)) Nugan turns to Gene with a smirk. "You know, as timing goes.... Your's is pretty damn bad..." Nugan gestures at the illusionary hospital that the Guildhall has become. "See what I mean?" ((Check the Drakhara's post at the bottom of the last page.))
Anna Who Has No Borders 09-15-03, 11:00 PM	Anna looks up at Gene as he enters and sighs in relief "Thank goodness, y...you're with the security forces right...of course...just...help me get some order around here. People are dying every second that's wasted!" She looks over at Dalineous with a frown "And please, oh please get rid of this...boy. He's upset things rather badly." The sound of horses can be heard outside of the building as a large wagon loaded with wounded pulls up in front of it. Orderlies hop off of the truck and begin rushing more stretchers into the already crowded room Anna's jaw drops and she clasps a hand over her mouth. "Mercy..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 11:07 PM	Dalineous is hit in the face with a shovel, kocking his crown to the floor, and sending him tumbling backwards. "Well, that's it! The wrath of the Altherian-err-Faustinian Empire is upon you!" Dalineous levels his sword and charges charges the man with the shovel.
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 11:08 PM	A broadshouldered man wearing a blood red 18th century style long coat and a pair of white trousers enters through the door of the hospital, steping over a the stretcher of a wounded man who is being carried. He draws a rapier from its holster on his belt and holds it up into the air. "I am the British General..."
Nugan 09-15-03, 11:13 PM	Nugan looks at the general and sighs. "Nope... Not even gonna ask..." Nugan walks towards the broken screen door at the rear of the room. "That's it, I need some air... And, no, don't even talk about Malaria... I don't care...."
Anna Who Has No Borders 09-15-03, 11:15 PM	The orderly whose shovel struck Dalineous, looking to the door where the wounded are pouring in, is distracted, and gets run through the side with the sword. He crumples to the ground and utter's something about "The children." Anna glances at the entrance, looking at the man who just entered. She ignores Dalineous and the orderly and shouts to him as she steps towards him, dodging stretchers. "You there! Put that sword away, this is a hospital for god's sake!" Her voice trails off as she keeps moving towards him
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 11:25 PM	The British General, seeing Anna rush towards him, runs her through the chest with his rapier, then kicks her limp corpse off of it with his boot. He then hurdles a stretcher, landing on the head of a small boy who has been layed onto the floor. The boy begins to cry. The General looks down and scoffs, then walks over to Dalineous, waving his sword in the air. "Ahem, I am the British General. Knaive."
Straak 09-15-03, 11:26 PM	Straak, who has been staring at his surrounding in shock, snaps back to attention as Nugan moves towards the door. "Boss! Don't, ya know, open that!" Straak hurries towards Nugan to stop him.
Anna Who Has No Borders 09-15-03, 11:29 PM	Anna falls upon the General's sword and then is kicked off of it like a short punt during a High School Football game. She dies.
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 11:31 PM	Dalineous wipes his sword and turns to the other orderly. "Sir, perhaps you should just throw yourself at my..." Dalineous spins around and yells in anger as the British General impales Anna. "Bastard! You just robbed the great Emperor Dalineous Faustin of ten incredible minutes! I'd say your life would be a fair exchange!" Dalineous wakes a wild swing for the General's neck with his longsword.
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 11:37 PM	The British General slashes downward, mostly deflecting the sword blow aimed at him, but gets a hand cut off in the process. He scowls and makes a stap Dalineous's chest. Meanwhile, the hand he lost is immediately set upon by 2 of the malnourished peasants who have been brought to the hospital and they begin to fight over it.
Nugan 09-15-03, 11:39 PM	Nugan stuggles with the door, before pausing and turning to Straak. "What? Its locked anyway... Oh..." Nugan winces and takes a careful step back from the door. "Right..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-15-03, 11:47 PM	Dalineous dodges to the left, but is knicked in the side with the blade. He does a backflip onto one of the cots knocking its resident to the floor. "Sorry child, its for the good of the empire." Dalineous brandishes his sword and laughs at the General. "Come on, I've been pinned by Fedwin. I'm not afraid of elderly fops in red."
"Danger Runner" 09-15-03, 11:54 PM	From somewhere deep inside the building a loud and ominous thud! resounds...
Nugan 09-15-03, 11:55 PM	Nugan winces at the sound. "Great..."
The Drakhara 09-15-03, 11:58 PM	The British General rushes forward at Dalineous....only to throw himself right onto his sword. He is wounded in the chest and stumbles backwards landing on a sharpened stick that a peasant girl was using to eat part of his hand with. He coughs up blood and dies. (( The room once again begins to spin and you feel the urge to shut your eyes, when it stops spinning you are back in the Guildhall lying on the floor.)) The Drakhara looks up from a seat at a table, where he is taking shots of brandy. "Fun stuff i suppose? Oh yeah, i didn't do it."
Dalineous Faustin 09-16-03, 12:03 AM	Dalineous laughs as the General impales himself and then drops his sword and collapses as the room spins again. He struggles to his feet, and stares at the Drakhara angrily. "Really, that was almost treason.... You made that woman refuse me!"
Nugan 09-16-03, 12:14 AM	Nugan swoons as the room spins again. He stands and sighs when things return to normal. "Well... That was terrible..." Nugan glances at Gene. "Wait, your still here? So your legitimately real then? Huh..."
"Danger Runner" 09-16-03, 01:47 AM	Thud . The sound came again, closer this time...but from which direction? No one can tell...
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-16-03, 05:46 AM	While still seemingly in the hospital: For the last few minutes, Steelgrind was fumbling around, shocked by the misery around him, trying to help the patients, but not knowing whom to help first, frustrated by the impossible amount of wounded and dying people. He is about to even awaken the monster within him, but realizes Zincaller would never waste any efforts on helping another if it doesn't serve his immidiate purposes. When the bloody chaos appogeys by the fighting breaking out, he runs to defend someone, but doesn't know whom to defend. This is a situation he was never prepared for, and could hardly even immagine. His nerves are about to collapse. Unfortuantely, his collapsin nerves are soon to fall on a not very soft ground... ~Thy voidlike spot-stepping incompetence is an affront to both life and death, dwarf!!! All of a sudden, Stellgrind's facial expression becomes the redefinition of ferocity, and his eyes immdiaitely shift color from brown to bold, glowing yellow. He reaches for the bummerang axe, throwing it with maximum might at the general, attempting to cripple both his feet before the axe returns to his hand. At the same time, the dwarf's boot goes onto one of the beds, crushing the bed and the skulls of the one inside it. His offhand catches the corpse and throws at the peasants behind the general. While he does this, his gaze falls {if just for a moment} directly into Nugan's eyes. The glance he gives him, along with the utterly undwarven {unhumanoid, even} roar, obviously directed at Nugan as well, is enough to make an ogre pee his loincloth. "Thou sleezeminded fleshheart of a crimepawn! Thy inbicility broke our plan! Thou shalt be my next victim from ye moment we leave this dome of bleeding casualties, claw-shreaded generals, and humiliatingly tortured emperors behind us!!!" *** As the room spins, Zincaller feels dizzy and falls back asleep within Steelgrind's soul. The dwarf himself, his eyes now brown and natural again, falls to the floor, and ses his bumerang axe wooshing towards the Drakhara's knees or waste. He knows this symbol of his heritage as a Rendergrim official is enchanted and blessed to harm any creature or entity connected by any way to the Inner Planes of existance, mighty as it may be, but never did he think he could throw it with such acuracy. He remembers the monster within him claimed its own equipment {which he took from the water barrel by the Guild of the Veiled's door} to be blessed as well, and considers using it; however, he doesn't feel very much like trusting a being who crushed a wounded man's skull in a hospital and prepared to use it as as a weapon or bait... even if he knew that hospital wasn't real. Besides, the dwarf has neither the physical, nor the mental strength to even rise to his feet right now, much less swing one of the monster's weapons, which are now striped to his back under the white & orange cape. He just lies there, idely watching the axe directed at the spirit's legs, which will most probably severe atleast one of them.
Gene_Kynes 09-16-03, 06:01 AM	A an amazingly rare thing happens. For once....Gene seems suprised. His cocky look remains, yet it seems to be preoccupied with trying to understand the chaos around him. "...Oddly fascinating...and utterly confusing. And...yes, I'm here. I made my presense obvious because...I bloody hate th'type who goes around orderin' people. Especially 'cause of some title. So...have you seen the guildhead of this place?" Don't tell me it's the "Emperor".... Oddly enough, the question "what's going on?" is never asked.
Nugan 09-16-03, 01:47 PM	Nugan raises his eyebrows and steps away from Steelgrind. "Woah... Careful there... Watch what you say in front of the, er, royalty." Nugan glances at Gene. "Guildhead? That would be me... Oh wait, nevermind, its him." Nugan gestures towards Dalineous.
Straak 09-16-03, 02:03 PM	Straak gulps at the second noise. "Yah... Boss... That sounds... ya know... bad..."
"Danger Runner" 09-16-03, 02:20 PM	((Ok so where is everyone standing inrelation to the walls, doors, and everyone else?))
Straak 09-16-03, 02:21 PM	((Straak is a few feet away from Nugan, at the rear of the Guildhall, near the Trophy Room portal.))
Nugan 09-16-03, 02:23 PM	((Nugan is standing next to the Guildhall portal, which he tried to open when he thought it was the exit to the "hospital"))
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-16-03, 03:22 PM	{{Steelgrind is lying on his back, halfway from Nugan to the Drakhara, waiting to see how much harm will his little enchanted friend do to the latter.}}
Gene_Kynes 09-16-03, 04:26 PM	(( Gene is between Dalineous and where the medic once was. )) Gene...moans. "Lovely." The Shadowdancer moves towards Dalineous, and says in his same quiet, yet somehow audible tone: "You've heard my intentions of joining...and I've learned you may be the one to speak to...no?"
Lucere 09-16-03, 04:46 PM	After getting somehow confused and failing to react to anything follows Nugan's rat hoping that somehow he can still find his way
Dalineous Faustin 09-16-03, 05:29 PM	((Dalineous is standing near the table at the center of the room)) Dalineous smiles at Gene. "Interesting in joining the Empire of Fuastinia? Well then!" Dalineous claps and three dancing girls emerge from the crowd of followers and place a crown that reads "Inner Circle" on Gene's head. "There! You now have the right to die on the right side rather than on the wrong. Congrats."
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-16-03, 05:47 PM	Bandit composes himself as the room returns to normal. He glances back at Lucere and chirps quietly before continuing towards along the beam towards the trophy room portal again. ((Bandit's in the rafters about 3/4 of the way across the room, heading towards the trophy room portal.))
The Drakhara 09-16-03, 07:07 PM	The Drakhara looks down to see an axe speeding his way. At first, he laughs, thinking that it is a mundane weapon and hence cannot hit him. When it strikes him, however, there is a blinding flash of white light and when it dissapates, both of the creature's legs are temporarily severed and a cloud of black energy begins to swirl around their shadowy forms as they hover motionless above the ground. The drakhara, too stunned to keep the other half of its body hovering, falls onto its back. "Gods, what the hell was that?" Extending its hands out towards its detached legs, the drakhara draws them to it and black sparks of negative energy jump from its hands as it tries to "weld" them back on. Once it finishes, the drakhara get to its feet, unsteadily at first, and looks at the dwarf. "You're in for some luvin', little dorf."
Gene_Kynes 09-16-03, 07:43 PM	Gene blinks. "That's it? No test, no check to see if I'm a Marshal in disguise?" Gene's blinking continues. "...And...I'm...here to join..the Guild, not...an...Empire, mate. Did I get the wrong directions? Or something?" For once, Gene seems even more frustrated and annoyed, rather than cynically annoyed.
Nugan 09-16-03, 11:14 PM	Nugan steps over to Gene, leans in to him, and whispers. "I know, I know... Give me a half-hour... Then we'll talk about this..." Nugan smirks and steps away, turning to watch the Drakhara and Steelgrind.
"Danger Runner" 09-16-03, 11:20 PM	Straak feels a huge stone hand clamp over his snout and is grabbed strongly...and yanked ...he cannot see where... Moments later another louder thud is heard. Straak is no where to be seen in the room.
Straak 09-16-03, 11:22 PM	Straak makes a soft yelp as he's grabbed and pulled away. He's taken out of sight before he has a chance to put up a struggle.
Nugan 09-16-03, 11:26 PM	Nugan hears Straak's yelp and spins in his direction. He sighs at seeing no sign of his assistant. "Great..." Nugan scans the guildhall. "Err... Did anyone see where Straak went? ... At All?"
"Danger Runner" 09-16-03, 11:27 PM	The thud comes again....and again....and again...
Nugan 09-16-03, 11:30 PM	Nugan makes a nervous glance in the direction of the noise. "Straak?"
Dalineous Faustin 09-16-03, 11:32 PM	Dalineous listens to the thuds before giving the Drakhara and angry stare. "Oh sure, just rub it in! Bastard!"
The Drakhara 09-16-03, 11:47 PM	The Drakhara looks away from the dwarf and back to Dalineous "Actually, that's not my work.."
Dalineous Faustin 09-16-03, 11:51 PM	Dalineous gulps. "Oh..." Dalineous raises his sword again. "Well, its no match for the deific might of the great Emperor Dalineous Faust-Wait, your sure its not you?" Dalineous tries to conceal a nervous look as he scans the Guildhall.
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 12:06 AM	A gnomish soldier from Dalineous's entourage is frightened by the thuds and Straak's disapearance and makes a wild run towards one of the member's quarter's doors. "Forget this! I miss the ghetto!" The gnome begins pulling at the door desperately.
"Danger Runner" 09-17-03, 12:11 AM	In an instant the door opens...a cold stone hand silences the gnome while another cold stone hand yanks him silently through the door. The door closes equally silently after.
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 12:13 AM	The gnome is ripped through the doorway before he can react.
Dalineous Faustin 09-17-03, 12:17 AM	Dalineous hears the gnome complaining and turns towards him just in time to see the door close. "A noble sacrifice for the Fuasinian Empire. He'll be remembered throughout the yada yada, crystal jar, and so forth..."
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 12:35 AM	A different soldier begins to back away as his comrade dissappears. He loses his footing in the proccess and stumbles into a door behind him. "Ahh!"
"Danger Runner" 09-17-03, 12:40 AM	While eyes are drawn to the gnome fallen against the door...elsewhere in the room, another of Faustin's minions is snatched silently through a door, by cold stone hands...
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 12:43 AM	The gnome steadies himself and wipes his brow. "Phew... I thought that was it..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-17-03, 12:45 AM	Dalineous points to the soldeir that just stumbled. "You! Clumsy! Go into those rooms and figure out what's going on."
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 12:46 AM	The gnome sighs. "Yes sir..." The gnome gulps and moves towards one of the doors to the member's quarters.
"Danger Runner" 09-17-03, 12:52 AM	As that gnome contemplate the door, at least ten of the other gnomes are similarly snatched through doors...always silently...always very quickly...
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 12:55 AM	The gnome pauses as the army suddenly shrinks. "Ummm... Emperor..." The gnome gulps, and starts towards the door again. "Nevermind."
"Danger Runner" 09-17-03, 01:03 AM	The thud thud thud thud continues... The chain holding up a huge iron chandelier comes loose suddenly...and the chandelier falls... ...crashes down into the center of the room Just after, as soon as attention is diverted, the gnome contemplating the door, is silently snatched through it.
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 01:05 AM	The gnome 'eeps' as he pulled through the doorway.
Nugan 09-17-03, 01:07 AM	Nugan, who had been scanning the main room for any sign of Straak, winces as the chandelier falls. "Well, I'm happy its not my responsibility to replace that anymore...."
Dalineous Faustin 09-17-03, 01:16 AM	Dalineous winces as the chandelier drops from the ceiling towards him. "Myself help me!' Dalineous is left standing in the space between two branches of the chandelier after the crash. "Ha! Thanks... me..." Dalineous winces as the fire from one of the cruished lamps leaps to the guildhall floor and begins to spread.
An Expendable Gnome 09-17-03, 01:18 AM	A couple of gnomish soldiers are crushed by the Chandelier. They yell in fear, but go largely unnoticed. ((Edit: No one saw Nugan turn into a gnome, right? Right?!))
"Danger Runner" 09-17-03, 01:20 AM	A door opens and then closes again...something cold blows across the floor...putting out the fire.
Nugan 09-17-03, 01:22 AM	Nugan winces again at the fire. "Well, that's taking it a bit far..." Nugan sighs in relief as the fire goes out. He smirks at Dalineous. "Thanks."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-17-03, 03:42 AM	~If i am to battle horrors, i shall atleast draw the one who brought me hence into ye combat. ~How perfectly, ingeniously... late! Now merge with me. Steelgrind rises to his feet without making any effort to do so, as if a wind blew in his back and a hand pulled him by the chest. One of his eyes is brown, but glowing yellow near the corners; the other is beastly yellow, only remaining brown around the pupil. His expression is calm and careless, as if he knew perfectly how this scene will end, and was completely indifferent to this knowlege. He extends his hand to catch the returning axe, which soon ends up in it; Before tossing it again, however, he reaches his left hand under his cape, and pulls a strange mechanic device, resembling a miniature balista about the size of a large pillow. He puts his left leg on it, and presses, releasing two small darts, which fly in the Drakhara's general direction, but miss him by several feet, posing some risk to Foustin and his gnomish militia, should they not notice them. At the same time as firing the tiny balista, Steelgrind tosses his axe again, with not nearly enough time to aim, letting it fly, spinning, towards the creature's torso. While the axe is in midair, he draws from behind his back a huge, beautyfully ornamented, wooden maul. ~Not yet, thou rushing earthquake-scapegoat!! ~I couldn't use these - i can't walk on steels! ~I can; And for now our skills are shared. ~Well... then i just won't - I ama dwarf, i don't take height advantage! Thou wisheth some one to use thy clangeddin-cursed steels - then posess a sodding dridder! Not a dwarf! ~Hast i allowed thee to have a will and pride of thy own, oremineslave?! Once this graveyard is left behind, i shall sew two Defiled Horns into thy flesh, so that never again i be cought within a battle of such doubtfull odds due to this addlovable idiocity of thyne!
Gene_Kynes 09-17-03, 06:14 AM	Gene...simply sidesteps from the chandelier, before glancing to the Emperor. "Er...Emperor...does this 'appen often?"
Nocturan Deadfall 09-17-03, 07:24 AM	(( Time to play catch up, hopefully I can explain his silence..... )) Nocturan just simply rolls his eyes as the Drakhara arrives. "Here we go again...." He flicks a switch on his chest plate, making his eyes go blank as he intentionally powers down for a while. As his own sort of security measure, a red light begins to blink on his chest, a soft beeping noise accompanying it. He stays like this for some time, keeping still and silent, his self destruct sequence on standby. (( In other words, he doesn't want to be messed with ^_^ ))
Dalineous Faustin 09-17-03, 11:12 AM	Dalineous turns to Gene, and laughs. "You haven't even seen the half of it! Stick with the Empire of Faustyinia and such wonderful things you'll see!" Dalineous looks down, realizes the end of his cape is still on fire, and begins jumping aroumnd trying to stamp it out. After this fails, he rips the cape off and tosses it away. "Phew... Anyway... Such wonderous things..."
Lucere 09-17-03, 03:58 PM	Smiles as this is not the diversion he had anticipated but he figures it will do well enough. The elf easily follows bandit across the beams and makes his way to the trophy room, waiting for bandit to first show him exactly where he is
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-17-03, 04:09 PM	Bandit reaches the end of the beam, looks back at Lucere, and cocks his head at the sealed portal to the Trophy room. He then jerks his head to the side and tosses the key to Lucere, indicating the key-hole near the portal.
Lucere 09-17-03, 04:28 PM	Lucere quickly grabs the key and makes haste in jumping down and getting to the the trophy room portal when he stops for a moment and thinks.....
Gene_Kynes 09-17-03, 05:06 PM	Gene scratches the back of his head. "Sure..er..."Emperor.". Say, if you're an emperor, then where's your land?" This guy has to be out o'his bloody mind.
Old_Hermit 09-17-03, 06:46 PM	(( my turn to explain absence)) once noccy powered down he darted out the door and was gone at this moment he comes back in and walks to noccy with a long wooden stick from a tree with which he obveously means to poke the mecha-'newt' with..
The Drakhara 09-17-03, 08:26 PM	The Drakhara, upon seeing the dwarf's axe speeding towards him again, bends his shadowy form just to the right to and avoids it narrowly. He looks behind him at the two darts that missed him and are now speeding off to some unknown target and chuckles looking to Steelgrind. "Hehe, listen i don't have any direct beef with you...the Great Emperor, maybe...but that's because he's a whiny ass 18 year old. I squat on his property and have intercourse with my wench in his bedchambers. I really have little respect for him. You on the other hand, you're ok. I don't 'hate' you, you were just a collateral damage type situation and whatnot..."
Nocturan Deadfall 09-18-03, 05:18 AM	With a whirring noise similar to that of a modern day generator restarting, Nocturan's eyes regain their light as he the hermit approaches, though he makes no other move. The light on his chest stops blinking and the beeping noise ceases. It's clear to most that his power supply has been reactivated, or at least it's clear to those from Altheria ( Dalineous, Drakhara, Ralmekiv, etc... ).
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-18-03, 05:55 AM	Ralmekiv had just not payed any heed to any of what just went on, being more than used to it by now. He smirks as he glances at the Drakhara. "So that's why you always act like that? You hate the twirp? Join the club.
Old_Hermit 09-18-03, 05:59 AM	the old one moves in slowly, holding the twig like a samari would his sword. as he gets in range he changes stance to one ready to jab swiftly. he moves in a little closer.. then slowly extends the stick and pokes the now not lit lite. he curls up into a little ball on the floor, but when noc doesnt explode he sighs.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-18-03, 07:27 AM	Steelgrind's both eyes are now completely yellow; hearing the Drakhara's words he extends his hands, as if to hug him, and growls to him, in an almost friendly way. His intonation is vilely calling, and his voice is monsterous, more appropriate to a miniature frost giant, than a dwarf: "Verbal retreat... i embrace thy verbal retreat, Slave Of My Lord. Now come nigh me, so i can drink thy rare fear, my sweet darkling." Saying that, he licks his lips. In his own special way, this strange character is obviously accepting the Drakhara's truce, or non-violence pact; still, to anyone not composed of negative energy, his current facial expression would look like a manifestation of theyr own personal doom, rather than a friendly gesture. Looking into the Drakhara's equivalent for eyes, whispering words in the Dark Speech betuin the words in common which anyone can here, the unlikely dwarf seems to be reaching an understanding with the entity infront of him... while still hoping the axe will strike its back on the way back to the rendergrimian's hand.
Golddigger Dwarf 09-18-03, 12:31 PM	Rocky was keeping close to the boss, it wasnt hard in this crazy place. Know one seem to be in charge. Keeping his fingers crossed and hoping for no traps he walks just a few step behind his partners. "So this is the room, or is their another?"
"Danger Runner" 09-18-03, 03:14 PM	As the actions in the center of the room continue...one by one Dalineous's army are nabbed...silently, by cold stone hands.... The thud s continue...the room begining to shake...as the rafters crack...ever so slightly...
Lucere 09-18-03, 04:38 PM	Lucere watches as people are being somehow whisked away. He decides after some consideration of them not returning decides this would be a good time to re-formulate a plan. He turns around and speaks to rocky "I don't know about you but I think this would be a good time to leave"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-19-03, 11:06 AM	Bandit stumbles as the rafters crack and slips over the side, clinging to the beam with his front paws, and chirping fearfully. He struggles for a few moments before he manages to get himself back onto the rafter, then he scurries to the hatch, chirps, and slips outside.
Dalineous Faustin 09-19-03, 11:13 AM	Dalineous spins in a continuous circle for several momments, watching his army vanish. "But... But... But... Wait... No.... Hey.... Stop... Don't... But... I order you... Stop!.... Oh..." Dalineous sighs as the last gnome is snatched away, turning to Nugan, and drawing his sword. "That's it! If its not the Drakhara, then your the treasonous bastard! Give me back my army or, I swear, you'll be spending tonight in the cardboard jar lamenting ever feeling the wrath of..."
Nugan 09-19-03, 11:18 AM	Nugan smirks. "The great Emperor Dalineous Faustin? Sorry, I just don't see it boy..." Nugan gestures towards, his chair, still smirking. "I do, however, see myself sitting there tommorrow morning joking with my guild about the temper tantrum you threw as you were being carried out of the Guildhall on a stretcher."
Dalineous Faustin 09-19-03, 11:43 AM	Dalineous laughs, taking a step towards Nugan. "Do you honestly believe that the great, deific, mericiful, all-powerful, vigilant, wise, compasionate Emperor Dalineous Faustin won't decapitate you with out much effort?" Dalineous glances at the Drakhara. "Give us a nice dynamic evironment for weasel hunting, will you?"
Golddigger Dwarf 09-19-03, 12:30 PM	"Like I said before boss, runing tis always apart of me plans" I be right behind ye and got thy back." rocky holds his axe as he says it. "Dont worry we can make it out"
Lucere 09-19-03, 03:06 PM	Looking at Rocky "I'm glad that was a part of your plan. We can always come back later if need be." He looks at nugan and steelgrind. "I don't think we need Nugan anymore, but if he does somehow comes out of this the savior and gets his guild back I don't want him doing anything like changing the locks. You tell steelgrind and I'll tell nugan" Lucere pulls out his knife(already coated with his trademark poisen) "If Nugan wishes to stay we will just have to make shure that he stays in this place perminently. If somehow he falls away from my grasp you are to do the deed." The elf looks at Rocky with cold emotionless eyes. For a second his eyes flash red, but it could just be the light. :b:
Kumop 09-20-03, 04:04 AM	Kumop was heading to the enterance to the guildhall when he heard the comotion inside and decided to wait for a more quite time
The Drakhara 09-22-03, 05:28 PM	(( sorry for not posting in a while, hehe forgot all about it )) The drakhara stands motionless for a minute, staring at the dwarf's hands outstretched in a way that seems friendly enough to him. He hesitates for a moment, then starts to slowly walk towards him, raising his hands to show that he means no harm. Suddenly the axe (which he has forgotten about) comes back around and cleaves his shadowy body in two. His bottom half blinks out of existence for a brief second, then falls limply to the ground, his top half keeps floating in mid air and he angles his head downward to assess the damage. He looks back up and shrugs at the dwarf. "I don't quite understand you dorf.....you're trying to shake my hand while at the same time you've got your axe coming at my back...I mean, it didn't hurt or anything.." He looks down at his bottom half lying on the ground "...But this is the second time today that i've had to reattach part of my body.." Shifting his focus, he looks over to Dalineous and Nugan "Hold on guys, i'll be right with you..." A ripple sweeps across the drakhara's body and the swirling shadows making up its arms begin to bleed downward and rearrange themselves, forming into two long blades. He floats a little bit higher off of the floor and a pool of blackness extends in a circle around him, creeping out slowly. He stares down at the dwarf. "So is this settled, or do i have to do what i do to Dalineous most of the time i'm home to you?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-24-03, 07:20 AM	"Tis so enjoyable... crippling a being vaguely humanoid again and again, without truely shortening its existance... yet, if thou insisteth, i shall seize and not disrupt thy integrity again... Besides, acording to my own sences, thy actions regarding ye emperror were much like these of an illithid, yet from a distance; although in deep doubt of thy ability to do the same to me, i am sure we shall both benefit from discontinuing this mutual game with one'other's matter and energy." Steelgrind grins, catches his axe, and closes his eyes for a small inner dialog: ~Now, was that not enjoyable, my dear disciple? ~I shall never succumb to yrr... perverted... ~I asked was that not ENJOYABLE, my dear disciple. ~Irrelevant! And i am no disciple of yours! ~Does then thy true, undermountly blood not call for thee to embrace this, as both amusement and a way to achieve whatever goals thou hast? Thou seeketh goodness, dost thou not? And is thy race not a line of ye purest keepers of this goodness? Is then listening to thy own blood not the one way to become one with thy ancestry's wisdom and follow its lane? Or be it vainness yelling within thee, crying thou, or thy generation, art wiser than ye entire heritage of thy race; wiser than the Moradinsamman themselves? Does this voice not sound familiar to thee, does this inner voice, thou art so close to embrace, in my words' stead, not seem like that of this despicefull voidmind of a human? ~... The dwarf's eyes opened to see the defeated Faustin, as an illustration of his "guest"'s words inside his mind. The semi-merged minds of Zincaller and Steelgrind spoke through the latter's mouth: "So, Ngy, be thy payment for ye escort with objects from thy trophy room, with gnomes, or with a subtle boost of our guild's reputation?"
The Drakhara 09-25-03, 03:42 PM	Giving a nod to Steelgrind, the drakhara shrinks back into its normal form "Whatever you say.." It turns to Nugan and Dalineous "Alright, lemme see what i can do about this." ((The room begins to swirl around once more and you feel the need to look down at your feet once again. Shadows creep across the room and begin forming into different objects, obscuring the normal sights of the guildhall. When you are able to look up again, the area has shifted into a plush bedroom, complete with a king (or emperor) sized bed, soft green carpet and a massive ceiling receding sphere of light at its center. There is a washer in one of the corners of the room, and a dryer in another. The room is lavishly decorated and gnome and halfling servants, both male and female, wait in various places around the room. The female servants wait on the bed. The insignia of Emperor Faustin is mounted above the bed. )) A man that Earth residents would recognize as none other than bardic ledgend R. Kelly sits with a band of men at one end of the room preforming "Thoia Thoing" An overweight halfling woman who is very scantily clad plods over to the center of the room and motions to Nugan and Dalineous "Its go time..."
Nugan 09-25-03, 05:33 PM	Nugan looks about the room as it comes into focus. He sighs. "Great..." Nugan glances at the halfling woman. "Ummm... No."
Dalineous Faustin 09-25-03, 06:16 PM	Dalineous looks from the halfiling woman to Nugan and back again in indesicion. "Umm.... Ummm..... Damn it!" Dalineous raises his sword and approaches Nugan. "I'm going to kill you an extra couple of times for depriving me of that..."
Golddigger Dwarf 09-27-03, 09:43 PM	"Tis a good plan....teehee...or is it an evil plan...anyway boss, I be cutting Nugan up, if ye dont." Rocky the dwarf nods his head, and holds his axe as he eyes it. Some thing the way he looks at it says, that he is not all up there.
Lucere 09-29-03, 04:36 PM	Lucere smiles and finding that his accomplice is not all there. Lucere makes his way casually to nugan "I think we can save our idea for another day, when there is not so much...." He looks around to see if he still notices people disappearing "havoc going on around us. Are you comming?" Lucere coldly looks at Nugan waiting for an answer that will decide his fate.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-30-03, 12:35 PM	Steelgrind's eyes slowly become completely yellow, as he points at one of the illusionic halfling lady-slaves and glances towards the Drakhara. "Can thou make her corporeal for me?" This was said rather absent-mindedly, however, for Zincaller's main thoughts were given to pondering wether he'll end up slaying both Dalineous and Nugan this day. Dalineous was obviously expendable material, as well as highly annoying, but Nugan's death seems like growing closer and closer to become a milestone for Lucere, and serving Lucere, aspecially by promoting his guild so tremendously, would daffinately give him, Zincaller, a nice position in it... Pleasure is normally primal to business for him, but in this specific case, the potential pleasure of slaying the Emperor, which will be killed today anyway, is simply too small to be persued. "Master, shall we let him regain his throne, or do ye deed in his stead? Or perhaps in his usurper's stead?" The last words were growled quietly, just enough for Lucere to hear, and though the question was obviously directed at Lucere, Steelgrind's face didn't turn to him.
Nugan 09-30-03, 07:40 PM	((Sorry everyone, just got back from a long weekend off from college were I didn't even look at the boards.)) Nugan shoots Lucere and company a smirk. "I'll catch up with you guys..." Nugan turns to Dalineous and raises his staff defensively, still smirking. "Go on, have your fun Emperor. I can wait."
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 08:37 PM	Dalineous levels his sword and takes a step towards Nugan. "I've had just about enough of this..." Dalineous charges in Nugan's direction.
Gene_Kynes 09-30-03, 08:38 PM	Gene blinks. (( Guessing that the room changed...and he cans see the change.)) "...Ew. Er..."Emperor", you've got bad taste. Really, really bad taste." Crossing his arms, Gene sighs, glancing around. The explaination for things lacking sense is...a lil'...overdue.
Nugan 09-30-03, 08:42 PM	((Yep, if I understand the Drakhara correctly, you can see the change Gene.)) Nugan steps to the side, and smirks as Dalineous rushes right past him. "Sorry Emperor, You missed. Maybe you should blame your diety. Wait..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 08:45 PM	Dalineous kicks the corpse of the "bardic legend" off his sword and looks back at Nugan. "Missed? What do you mean? Now..." Dalineous levels his sword and charges Nugan.
Nugan 09-30-03, 09:12 PM	Nugan makes a gesture and disappears, rolling under Dalineous's bed while he's invisible. He mummbles to himself. "Great..." Nugan begins gesturing under the bed, and muttering quietly to himself.
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 09:28 PM	Dalineous skids to a stop as Nugan disappears and begins scanning the room. "Ha! You don't honestly think that's going to work against divine right, do you?" Dalineous continues to scan the room, then, overhearing a noise from the closet, runs over to it, and sticks his head inside. "Ha! I have you now.... Nore... and... Oh sorry guys... Ewww..." Dalineous shivers and shuts the door, locking it. He then returns to scanning for Nugan.
Nugan 09-30-03, 09:39 PM	Nugan finishes and makes a gesture towards the dryer, causing it to turn on and begin vibrating its way across the room towards Dalineous, filling the room with steam in the process.
Nocturan Deadfall 09-30-03, 10:27 PM	Nocturan glances at the steaming dryer and smirks. "Great, looks like someone started the dryer without oiling the gears first...." He then looks at Dalienous seeing that the dryer is headed towards the great emperor. :rolleyes: "And it looks like it's going to be a real pain in the arse oh 'great one'." He chuckles at that, stepping back and aside to avoid the ensuing conflicts, smirking and watching on as he views this as comedy. He stands near the wall, whether illusory or not, Noc doesn't really care.
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 10:37 PM	Dalineous spins around to face the dryer, cleaving it in half with his sword, and disappearing from sight in a cloud of steam. "Come on Nugan... Let's not force the hand of the Great Emperor now... My diefic right has given me some knowledge about you... Well, actually the gnomes I had spying on Nocturan told me, but... " Dalineous removes a note card, jots something on it, and pins it to his shirt while he's still hidden by the steam.
Nugan Wracod Sr 09-30-03, 10:41 PM	Nugan Sr's form comes into view as the steam fades away. He's standing next to the ruined dryer, and Dalineous is nowhere to be found. "Listen boy... You have no damn idea how much you've screwed up this time. Get the hell outta your hole, and face up to it like the man you aren't."
Nugan 09-30-03, 10:47 PM	Nugan winces at the sound of his father's voice, and crawls out from under the bed, coming into view. "But... I..."
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-30-03, 10:49 PM	Ralmekiv simply chuckles as he watches the dryer starting up and head for Dalineous, then frowns as it is stopped from attacking. He mutters annoyedly. "Lousy 'emperor'... He'll get his one of these days...."
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 10:52 PM	"Nugan Sr" rips the card from from his robe and shifts into Dalineous. He smiles at Nugan. "Sorry... But I'm sure your funeral will resolve all of your domestic problems anyway 'boy'." Dalineous draws an already loaded hand crossbow and fires it at Nugan.
Nugan 09-30-03, 10:54 PM	Nugan takes the bolt in his right kneecap and drops to his knees, wincing. "Great..."
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 10:57 PM	Dalineous drops the crossbow and draws his sword, walking over to Nugan. "Nice try, but, hey, we can't all be destined to power by the gods." Dalineous raises his sword and makes a swing for Nugan's neck. ((Dalineous's player desperately tries not to make a cheesy "There can be only one!" joke. Rolls an 8. Fails.))
Ralmekiv Mristar 09-30-03, 10:57 PM	Ralmekiv shakes his head as he watches Nugan fall to his knees. "Come on... You honestly didn't know what was going on when the boy who thinks he's a god vanished and the old man was there? Reminds me of why I cast away life for this...." He leans back, still in his chair whatever form it may have taken now, the two zombies still at his sides.
Nocturan Deadfall 09-30-03, 11:06 PM	Nocturan presses a small lever on his chest, creating a small bussing noise as a small gasket opens. With the other hand, he brings an empty tankard to the gasket's opening, letting a thick black liquor pour out; whiskey processed from the trollslayer he usually drinks, about five times as strong. He takes a long drink of it as he watches. . o O ( Either way, some jerk I hate is going to die, so this should get good.... )
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-30-03, 11:11 PM	Bandit drops from the rafters onto Dalineous crown, chirps, and tries to bite him in the ear.
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 11:13 PM	Dalineous slips as the weasel pushes his crown over his eyes and bites him on the ear, sending his sword into a bedpost instead of Nugan's neck. "What in the name of all that's me!" Dalineous rips off his crown, with the weasel on it, and throws it into the washing machine.
Nugan 09-30-03, 11:19 PM	Nugan flips a dagger into his hand from the left wrist of his robes, and stabs for Dalineouss left kneecap while he's distracted. "No, no we can't Emperor."
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 09-30-03, 11:21 PM	Bandit chirps in surprise as he's thrown into the washing machine with the crown. He scurries towards the machine's door, but it swing shut before he reaches it.
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 11:23 PM	Dalineous takes the dagger in the kneecap and stumbles fowards, dropping onto his bed. "But..." Dalineous winces and, worms his way across the bed to his sword, pulling it from the bedpost.
Nugan 09-30-03, 11:36 PM	Nugan braces himself on the bed's end and pulls himself to his feet, wincing. "Listen, Emperor, maybe we can work this out... I mean, no good reason to kill each other over this..." Nugan slides his left hand behind his back and begins gesturing.
Nocturan Deadfall 09-30-03, 11:39 PM	Nocturan smirks, taking another drink before speaking. "Negotiating? Just kill each other and get it over with. It's more entertaining that way...." He half chuckles as he watches on, taking yet another drink of the extremely strong liqour.
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 11:41 PM	Dalineous raises his sword, but pauses before swinging. "Well... What are you offering?"
Golddigger Dwarf 09-30-03, 11:47 PM	Rocky is keeping an eye out for Nugan, and when he does see him. Rocky smiles an evil smile as he holds his axe.
Nugan 09-30-03, 11:47 PM	Nugan forces a smirk. "Simple. I know when I'm screwed. I'll just get up and leave, I have another guild waiting for me anyway, and I'll give you a gift to spare my life, Emperor." Nugan mummbles something under his breath, and continues gesturing behind his back.
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 11:50 PM	Dalineous smiles, lowering his sword some. "Oh? Let's see the gift..."
Nugan 09-30-03, 11:52 PM	Nugan finishes his gestures, and an attractive gnomish woman blinks into existence next to him. He smirks. "Will that do?"
Dalineous Faustin 09-30-03, 11:55 PM	Dalineous raises his eyebrows. "Will it?! Get the hell out of here Nugan, before my diefic mercy decides to depart..." Dalineous pulls himself off the bed wincing, and hobbles towards the gnome.
Nugan 09-30-03, 11:58 PM	Nugan, smirks, nods, and, bracing himself on his staff, stumbles over to the members of Guild of the Vieled. "Well guys, guess that's that... Let's go. I'm sure we can steal all of the stuff in the Trophy room after the Emperor squanders it on 'war supplies' anyway..." Nugan makes his way towards the door. ((I'm going to assumed the GoV went with him. Ok?))
Dalineous Faustin 10-01-03, 12:01 AM	Dalineous looks at Nugan, shrugs, and takes the gnome by the arm. "Well now, how about we get down to exploring my kingdom, why don't we." Dalineous draws her into an (unoccupied) closet.
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:03 AM	Nugan chuckles to himself outside the Guildhall and begins lagging the GoV members. "Sorry... Damn knee... Go on, I'll catch up... No worries..." Nugan smirks, glancing back at the door.
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 12:05 AM	Nocturan just shudders as he sees Dalineous and the gnome go to the closet. "That's just... gah..." He turns around and just shakes his head, dropping the tankard and covering his ears. Trying to close the world out completely to avoid having any knowledge of anything right about now.
Dalineous Faustin 10-01-03, 12:05 AM	Dalineous screams from inside the closet. "But! But! But! By me no! No! Noooo!" Dalineous can be heard slumping to the floor inside the closet.
Ratalgy 10-01-03, 12:09 AM	Ratalgy throws the closet door open and zips out, dragging an unmoving Dalineous behind him. "ThankYouNugan! ThanksALotAndStuff! INeedEverythingThatICanGetAndAllNowThatY anen'sGone! IPromiseNotToTryTo" Ratalgy makes three rapid stabbing motions "YouForAwhileAndStuff!" Ratalgy zips out the door, still dragging Dalineous, and hurries off into the city.
Dalineous Faustin 10-01-03, 12:11 AM	Dalineous groans slightly, still unconsious, as he's drug out of the Guildhall and out of sight.
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 12:15 AM	Nocturan regains his composure and turns around just in time to see Ratalgy dragging Dalineous out, those with accute vision can see a small pool of oil has been vomited onto the floor in the direction the mecha lizard was facing. He wipes his jaws clean and smirks at the sight. "Well, that's better than what it seemed, but still.... gah...." He shudders once more.
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:16 AM	Nugan spins around as Ratalgy zips past him, and nods, smirking. "Sure thing Ratalgy, just remember this, and don't go trying to avenge Yanen on Straak or I." Nugan hobbles quickly into the Guildhall, and throws the doors shut, locking them. "Sorry guys, I guess I'll stick around here after all." Nugan drops the floor, wincing. "Now... Little help?"
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 12:19 AM	Nocturan looks at Nugan and smirks. "Help? You? Yeah.... no, no I won't be helping." With that, he walks back towards where he keeps his keg of normal ale and cracks it open, getting a fresh tankard and filling it.
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 10-01-03, 12:21 AM	((I'm going to assume the illusion disappeared after the fight was over.)) Bandit chirps as the illusion dispells and he drops to the floor inside Dalineous's crown. He skids across the floor for a momment before hopping out and scurring into one of the Guildhall's member quarters.
Straak 10-01-03, 12:24 AM	Straak walks out of the room Bandit entered, and hurries over to Nugan. "Boss! I knew ya could, ya know, beat him!" Straak spots Nugan's wound and gulps, hurrying over to him. "Yah... What, ya know, happened?"
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:27 AM	Nugan winces. "I was, ya know, shot in the leg while you were, ya know, not helping. Do you, ya know, understand?" Nugan looks down at his right leg and winces again.
Sharp 10-01-03, 12:27 AM	Sharp walks into the room slowly looking around and then at Nugan. She smiles. "I assume it is safe to untrap?...and are you allright?"
Sharp 10-01-03, 12:28 AM	She groans at his words and walks on over.
Straak 10-01-03, 12:29 AM	Straak hangs his head and nods. "Yah... Sorry Boss..." Straak takes out a small metal box, opens it, removes bandages and other healing supplies, and begins tending to Nugan's leg.
Sharp 10-01-03, 12:32 AM	She kneels by Nugan...and resists the urge to fold her arms. "Well?"
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:32 AM	Nugan winces again as Straak begins work and looks up at Sharp. "Yeah, I'd say so. Unless, of course, you'd have us lose a member whenever someone touches a doorknob... Actually... That might not be so bad... Nah, take them down."
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 12:32 AM	Nocturan looks back to Nugan after drinking down the tankard. "Alright, now, why in the Nine didn't you just blast him with fire or lightning? That at least wouldn't have resulted in that oil spill that Straak has to clean up."
Sharp 10-01-03, 12:35 AM	She glances at Straak working and then nods. She stands and goes over to the trophy room door. She begins untrapping. When she is finished...and that takes a minute or two...she walks back to Nugan. "Now, two questions. What shall be done with the gnomes in the closet? and how long do I have to pack and get out of here before you start after me?" She grimaces.
Straak 10-01-03, 12:36 AM	Straak shivers at Nocturan words, and continues with Nugan's leg. "Yah... Tha boss did what he, ya know, had to." Straak finishes with the leg and hands Nugan a glass jar. "Yah... There. That should, ya know, do it."
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 12:39 AM	Nocturan shakes his head and mutters. "Then he wonders why we consider him an incompetant leader....." He shakes his head again to clear his thoughts. "At any rate, you got rid of that damn fool, so I guess we all owe you one. Not that we'll be paying that back mind you, but we owe you one."
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:41 AM	Nugan nods, downs the points, and stands. "Thanks Straak..." Nugan turns to Sharp with a smirk. "Usher them outside and return them to their natural habitat: the streets. And, as for the second question... Five minutes..." Nugan chuckles. "Nah, stick around Sharp. I think Dalineous scared half the guild off, we'll need the people. Just don'y let me borrow any more money."
Sharp 10-01-03, 12:47 AM	"As you command," she says with a little bit of an affected, but not entirely mocking curtsy. "I will see it done...or one of us will." She walks over to a chair and sits, smiling genuinely to herself. In keeping with tradition, she forces a smirk (;) ). "Welcome back, Nugan."
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:51 AM	Nugan, walks over to his chair, brushes it off, and sits, smirking. "Back? Who's to say I ever left? Maybe this was all some big plan to get full control of Apathy back..." Nugan sighs. "Yeah, I'm not even going to try to sell that one. Thanks for bailing me out guys..."
Straak 10-01-03, 12:55 AM	Straak smiles at Nugan. "You're, ya know, welcome boss." Straak hurries to the supply closet and begins preparing to clean the Guildhall.
Nugan 10-01-03, 12:57 AM	Nugan blinks and turns to Gene. "You're still here? Oh... Do you want to join the Guild? I guess you couldn't pretend that the last couple of hours didn't happen... could you? Or atleast give us the benefit of thedoubt? That doesn't happen too often..."
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 12:58 AM	Nocturan moves back to the chair he usually snags, dropping into it with a smirk. "Well, at least the worst is over..."
Sharp 10-01-03, 01:00 AM	"No problem at all." She grins at Nugan as he speaks to Gene, and then looks to Gene herself.
Nugan 10-01-03, 01:02 AM	Nugan winces as he overhears Nocturan and quickly wraps the table in front of him. He then looks towards the door. "Nocturan..." Nugan sighs in relief when nothing happens, and turns back to Gene, smirking. "Yeah, no problem at all..."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 10-01-03, 08:41 AM	{{While his player ponders how many more chars here are under the same player,}} Zincaller whispers by means of Steelgrind's lips to Lucere as theyr walk: "Two were truggling, one must have been left. Will we not turn one into a zero? Thy controll of these rivals is now to be gained, shall thou not leap on ye opportunity given to thee?"
Lucere 10-01-03, 04:10 PM	As steelgrind turns to lucere he realizes that he is not there. The elf sits up in a dark corner of the apathy guilds rafters aiming his poisened arrow at Nugan. The only thing that can be seen of him is the glint of metal from the arrow head pointing at Nugan's heart..... :b: In Steelgrinds pocket there is a note that says for them to meet him back at the guild. And for them to be ready because he possibly could be followed.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 10-01-03, 07:43 PM	~Now who are we talking to? Aren't we supposed to go and face thess... deviants at the entrance to this derelict building of yours? ~I am growing tired. I lose focus. Do not surrender to thy incompitence again, lest i dispose of thee. Rest now i will. Only awaken me if thou art sure i sahll be interrested by ye reason... or if thy mortal being is not enough to deal with the reason. ~Fine! Fine, i will go and protect this lesser evil. Maybe later he can be dealt with too, that would serve the area indeed. ~Good, remain in this lane of thought... unless thy nature desides otherwise. The dwarf's eyes stop glowing and become much duller, as the completely natural brown color returns to them, hardly leaving scarce bits of yellow arounf the pupils. Steelgrind walks confidently and hastlessly out of the guildhall and towards the base of the Veiled Guild. He has much to think of, and he even pretends to not be watching his back.
Nocturan Deadfall 10-01-03, 08:41 PM	Nocturan, who many of you may remember can see through the warmth produced by the living or the lack thereof created by the unliving, catches sight of the glint of metal, his eyes drawn to the source and noting much more than metal in the shadows. With unnatural speed for something of his size, Nocturan stands from his chair, kicking it out behind him and launching upward to his feet, his wings flaring outward behind him. In the same motion, he raises both arms in the direction of the glint, launching four lengths of razor edged chains towards the hiding assassin, each length moving roughly two feet apart on the sides and three feet apart between the two sides. His powerful metal wings flap violently in the air around him as he kicks off the ground, launching him towards him immediately behind the chains, leaving about twenty feet of space and three seconds of time between the chains and his own imminent impact.
Sharp 10-01-03, 09:31 PM	When Sharp sees Noc attacking, she leaps out of her own chair and goes and attemps to pull Nugan and or his chair over and safely to the ground with ridiculous speed, a scowl, and ripe curse.
Nugan 10-01-03, 09:34 PM	Nugan blinks as he's pulled out of the char and pushed to the ground by Sharp. "Who the what now..." Nugan forces a smirk. "Listen Sharp, just cause I let you back in the Guild doesn't mean..." Nugan watches Nocturan jump for Lucere. "Ohhh... Great..."
Sharp 10-01-03, 09:37 PM	With Nugan safely down, she turns and levels her own crossbow in the generel direction of Lucere, with cool efficiency. "You aren't kidding," she mutters to to Nugan's 'great'.
Straak 10-01-03, 09:38 PM	Straak jumps as the action starts, and spins in the direction Nocturan is running, drawinging his crossbow. "Yah... Here we, ya know, go again..." Straak fits a bolt into the crossbow.
Golddigger Dwarf 10-01-03, 11:51 PM	"Ahh the hell with it!" Rocky says as he hears the action he rushes in and sees the one called sharp. He charges at her with his axe "Die ye ugly toad of a woman."
Sharp 10-02-03, 03:37 PM	She sighs and levels and fires her crossbow at the charging dwarf. Her aim is expert and she shoot for a particular chink in the armor on his axe arm. She meanwhile makes ready to slip out of the dwarfs path...just in case
Lucere 10-02-03, 04:08 PM	Lucere is suprised as he is rushed but quickly shifts his weight and drops from the rafters to the ground. He looks to the girl pulling her leader away."Well Nugan it seems you have better body guards than I first anticipated." Then a cracking sound can be heard as Lucere's form changes. His mouth soon turns into a maw, his hands to claws, and his eyes to growing red lights. :eek: Lucere roars at nugan. The elf in his hybrid form makes a dash for nugan with the intention of going for his juggular. ((OOC yes he is a lycanthrope))
Straak 10-02-03, 05:10 PM	Straak gulps as Lucere's form changes, and spins to face him. "Boss!" Straak aims for Lucere's right eye, pulls the crossbow's trigger, and fires a bolt.
Nugan 10-02-03, 05:30 PM	Nugan winces at Lucere's charge from the spot on the floor the Sharp knocked him to. "Great..." Nugan places his staff between his legs, grabs his knees, and rolls under the table, away from Lucere's attack.
Golddigger Dwarf 10-02-03, 06:18 PM	Rocky was like a wiled, well? A wiled dwarf! He took aim at the woman, when she let lose with her crossbow. It hits hard, going through the armor he eyes bulge. “Ye, no, no” The dwarf seems to stager “Dog, of a” He falls face down and blood can be seen coming from his chest.
Nocturan Deadfall 10-02-03, 07:00 PM	Nocturan's flying charge carries him through the now empty space, his fifteen hundred pound mass* colliding with the wall with a thunderous crash, splinters raining down around him, though he tries to slow his momentum with a few flaps of his wings. Lowering back to the ground like a rock being dropped, he regains his feet, the chains that cover his person lengthening and beginning to whirl about him like a set of blades, slashing the air at a lethal speed. His claw blades extend with a resounding clang as he launches forward at Lucere. The barrier of chains is the first of Nocturan's weapons to arrive, lashing at alternating levels between low and mid level with such great speed that they could cut into solid stone. Shortly after, not allowing more than a split second of breathing room, Nocturan's claws swing in with a massive slash at Lucere's shoulder from the right, then a right backhanded slash aimed at chest level combined with a left handed stab for his midsection. (( Think of the chains as a Blade Barrier spell at the moment. )) (( * - This is not an exageration, Nugan and I discussed this once, and we figure Nocturan weighs roughly as much as a mid-size car :) ))
Lucere 10-02-03, 10:15 PM	((OOC oww)) Lucere takes a pummiling but seems little phased by it. With lightning like speed he asceses the situation and decides he is out matched. He makes a run for golddigger biting his legs as he scoops him up and breaks through the front door. ((OOC sorry golddigger but he already had the intention of doing this eventually))
Golddigger Dwarf 10-02-03, 10:48 PM	As Rocky is bounced along he opens his eyes and "Ahh boss ye realy do care" Then passes back out:drool:
Nugan 10-02-03, 11:10 PM	Nugan crawls out from under the table and stands. "Well, that was..." Nugan turns to Nocturan, smirking. "I'd thank you for chasing them off... But it was your fault in the first place for not knocking on wood... So, we'll call it even..." Nugan walks back to his chair and takes a seat.
Old_Hermit 10-04-03, 08:57 PM	the old one had ended up assleep and hidden in a corner of the room under a pile of sheets, hence explaining why he hasnt done anything
Nugan 10-05-03, 06:26 PM	((Well, I think we're long overdue for a time lapse. We'll say its three weeks later this time, and early in the evening.))
stratagues_evermore 10-06-03, 04:42 PM	In walks a child, well a child at first glance. When a closer look is taken it can be seen that he is actually a Gnome. His demeanor on walking seems somewhat timid. He is so ragged and beaten that he looks like he must of fought his way through a troll swamp to get here. His are very shifty never really focusing on anything. "Hey boss, it's Jebbido. I know I haven't been seen in a while but I am back now. So what has happened while I have been gone?"
Kumop 10-06-03, 04:45 PM	Kumop once again approches the enterance and knocks on the doors
Nugan 10-06-03, 04:47 PM	((lol. Welcome back Jeb. :) )) Nugan, who had been starting his dinner at his spot on the end of the table looks up and blinks as Jebbido enters. "Hello... Oh... I sorta assumed you were dead or something..." Nugan smirks as he examines Jebbiddo. "And I might not have been all that wrong... What happened to you?" Nugan blinks again as he hears the knock. "Straak... Someone's at the door..." ((Edit: I accidentally posted this before I finished typing. Its fixed now.))
Straak 10-06-03, 04:56 PM	Straak hurries out of one of the member's quarters, and sets a broom and dustpan on the Guildhall floor. "Yah.... Right, ya know, away, boss." Straak stops to look at Jebbido with surprise. "Well, I'll, ya know, be... Ya're still around?" Straak rushes to the door and opens it, smiling at Kumop. "Yah... Hello."
Kumop 10-06-03, 04:58 PM	Kumop smiles. "Yo. is this that thieves guild, apathy??"
Nugan 10-06-03, 05:01 PM	Nugan turns to the man in the doorway, nodding. "Yes, that'd be us... Name's Nugan. I'm kinda sorta in charge..." Nugan gestures to the others in the room. "And the kobold is Straak... The barely living gnome is Jebbido... And... Looks like everyone else took the day off... Surprise, surprise..."
Kumop 10-06-03, 05:04 PM	Kumop chuckles "Ah. Well im from the Marshals here to take you thieves in..."
Nugan 10-06-03, 05:08 PM	Nugan sighs. "Yep... Should've seen that one coming... They kept telling me, boss, maybe you shouldn't just go around telling everyone what we do without asking questions first..." Nugan stands, setting down his fork. "But did I listen? Nooooo." Nugan takes a step towards Kumop. "Well... Guess you better take out your shackles or whatever..."
Straak 10-06-03, 05:09 PM	Straak gives Nugan a worried look from were he's standing next to the door. "Yah... Boss? Are ya sure ya should, ya know, give up that easily?"
Kumop 10-06-03, 05:16 PM	Kumop chuckles .. Well that was simple but im sure theres some trick up your sleeve. if so then you live up to your name.. anyways.. im not realy with the marshals.. just seeing what you would do. im interested in joining your guild here" kumop smiles
Nugan 10-06-03, 05:26 PM	Nugan sighs in relief, and drops back into his chair. "Oh... In that case... We don't usually give up that easy... I was going to knife you once you turned around... really... Right Straak?" Nugan pick up his fork and begins eating again. "Anyway... Still interesting in joining? We'll take you... No questions asked..."
Straak 10-06-03, 05:30 PM	Straak nods to Nugan. "Yah... Tha boss woulda, ya know, stabbed ya good... Yah..."
Kumop 10-06-03, 05:45 PM	Kumop smirks "Ah.. well not as i expected but i guess it mighta got the job done.. anyways tho.. Thats it?? wow.. well i wonder who els got in like that.."
Old_Hermit 10-06-03, 05:47 PM	at that time the old one strolls in with a broom behind his back. he sees kumop and charges at him swinging the broom like a sword while yelling "Squish the mousy!!"
Nugan 10-06-03, 05:48 PM	Nugan shrugs. "They all did... All... umm..." Nugan looks from side-to side. "Well... None of the others are here now... But there's more than thirty of us... Really... Not counting mouchers..." Nugan sighs as the Hermit charges in. "Speaking of which... Hello Gramps.." ((Edit: Added Nugan's response to OH))
Kumop 10-06-03, 05:50 PM	Kumop looks at the old man and was about to say something but got cut off by the yell and darted for nugans table where he curled up into a little ball and hid
Old_Hermit 10-06-03, 05:52 PM	the old one laughs "That will not save you!" he also darts under the table
Kumop 10-06-03, 05:56 PM	Kumop Eeps then can be heard laughing "Stop!! Stop! Ahahahahaha! that tickles!!"
Nugan 10-06-03, 06:00 PM	Nugan sighs again, and glances under the table. "Gramps... Please... I'm trying to eat... Stop harrassing the new recruits..." Nugan glances at Straak. "Straak..."
Straak 10-06-03, 06:03 PM	Straak nods. "Yah... I'l, ya know, take care of it boss." Straak walks over to the supply closet, steps inside, and emerges with an apple pie. "Yah... Look... Its, ya know, pie... For you... and stuff..."
Old_Hermit 10-06-03, 06:03 PM	the old one stops tickling kumop and crawls back out from under the table to sit in a chair. he looks to see the pie and sighs "Thats cheating.."
Kumop 10-06-03, 06:08 PM	kumop crawls out too, still laughing. he sits in a chair near nugan "Well.. that was an interesting welcom to the guild.."
Nugan 10-06-03, 06:49 PM	Nugan smirks and takes a sip from a glass in front of him. "Really? Well then, stick around... That's going to look dull pretty soon..."
Straak 10-06-03, 06:51 PM	Straak smiles at the Hermit, setting the pie in front of him at the table. "Yah it is." Straak walks back to his broom and dustpan, pick them up, and goes back into the member's quarter he came from.
Kumop 10-06-03, 07:46 PM	kumop looks to straak as hes goin "Hey slave-kobold.. bring me somethin to eat?" he looks back to nugan "is that so?? i came by a few weeks ago and things were full of activity"
Straak 10-12-03, 08:19 PM	Straak sighs, looking at Kumop. "Yah... I'm a, ya know, officer... I just sorta... ya know... Yah... I'll be right back..." Straak turns and walks into the supply room.
Nugan 10-13-03, 02:19 PM	((Yeah, I know, I've been letting the thread lapse. I had a kinda-sorta-emergency last Tuesday. Anyway, back to business. The Apathy Message boards are back up. You can find the link to them in the links (Portal to Juxta) section of the Apathy website (http://www.angelfire.com/realm/fogofpking/apathy/hall.html). If everyone registers and checks them regularly, it will help to bring all of the scattered members of Apathy (we have around 30 now) together to plan storylines and whatnot. Feel free to PM me on MSN or AIM with questions. My screen names are in my profile. )) Nugan smirks to Kumop. "Oh yeah... That... We had some management issues... That's taken care of now... Actually, we aren't that busy at all right now. We're still trying to decide on our next move... That is if anyone actually showed up to discuss the decision..."
Nugan 10-23-03, 05:33 PM	((Time laspe again. This time to just after the battle with Siobhan. Dahreen took Nugan somewhere. Asthnar has kidnapped Straak. Sharp is still AWOL. Siobhan is still alive. Its late evening.))
Nocturan Deadfall 10-23-03, 07:59 PM	Nocturan swings the doors wide as he stomps his way in, cursing loudly in about three different languages, alternating between them with nearly each word. Common, Draconic, and Abyssal explitives almost echoing through the hall. "Great... just great... We go to all that trouble to get out there, and we wind up coming back here with two people fewer than we went in with...." He marches purposefully over to a cask of ale set up along a wall near his usurped quarters, grabs a tankard hanging on a hook he placed there and dunks it in to fill it. Lifting the mug to his jaws and drinking down the alcohol in one quick gulp.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 10-24-03, 04:19 AM	Asthnar fades into view with straak hanging off his leg. He kicks forward, trying to shake the crazed kobold off of him. If that doesnt work he will slam his leg and the kobold into the table while cursing in undercommon
Nocturan Deadfall 10-24-03, 04:39 AM	Nocturan turns with a cold, clearly reptilian glance at Asthnar, then throws his mug to the ground with enough force to cause the metal mug to bend inward. "You no good, two faced, slimy squid for brains.... You've got three seconds to get your sorry hide out of my sight. Then I rip your head off with my bare hands." He extends the massive claw blades with a loud clang and levels his gazem begining to count off methodically. "One...."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 10-24-03, 04:41 AM	The illithid gives a cold glare back and holds up his leg Well noc. i would be more than happy to leave if it wernt for this little pest here. If you want me gone so badly i suggest you get it off me. And i mean with my leg still attached to me
Nocturan Deadfall 10-24-03, 04:45 AM	Nocturan simply smirks, the chains across his form raising up and snaking in the air as he continues the count off. "Two...."
MindFlayer_Asthnar 10-24-03, 04:45 AM	Asthnar thinks for a moment then withdraws his fave wand from a pocket of his robes "Now now noccy.. you wouldnt want me to have to use this.. i know how much you dont like it.." he kicks his leg again
Nocturan Deadfall 10-24-03, 04:53 AM	Nocturan growls low as he sees the wand. He looks as if he's about to count to three, then suddenly reaches beside him and grabs the cask of ale, hurling the barrel at Asthnar full force, aimed for his chest.
MindFlayer_Asthnar 10-24-03, 04:57 AM	Asthnar was about to make a noise of some sort when the barrel came at him. He fired of a shot and was in turn nailed with it. he flew backwards onto the floor then mumbled and faded from sight ((i assume straak is off of him by now..))
Nocturan Deadfall 10-24-03, 05:03 AM	Nocturan is blasted by the shot fro the wand, the electricity covering his form, the metal chains and plates becoming magnetized as he is hurled backward into the wall, sending a cloud of dust and splinters as he hits the wooden structure. Groaning, the odd being that is Nocturan remains still, stunned from the effect of the bolt.
Straak 10-24-03, 02:43 PM	Straak appears with Asthnar, griped tightly around his right leg, biting and scratching at him. "Yah Bastard! I'm gonna, ya know, kill ya!" Straak winces as he's knocked against the table leg, but doesn't release his grip. "Yah, I'm not gonna, ya know, let ya get away that easy..." Straak is caught off his gaurd as Nocturan throws the keg, and knocked off Asthnar's leg as he slides across the floor. Straak skids into the Guildhall wall and groans. "Yah... ugh..." Straak struggles to his feet and groans again as he sees the paralized Nocturan. "Yah... Is something, ya know, wrong, Nocturan?"
Nocturan Deadfall 10-24-03, 11:54 PM	Nocturan shudders as a sudden surge goes through his form, senidng him up to his feet. Groaning once more, he blinks as several unattended metal objects nearby launch from their places and toward him, sticking to his form. He glances down at Straak. "Yeah.... That bastard magnetized me.... It'll take a few minutes to wear off.... But I'll be fine...."
Straak 10-25-03, 05:39 PM	Straak winces as the metallic objects attach themselves to Nocturan. "Yah... Okay... I'll, ya know, put tha spoons away when it wears off..." Straak gives Nugan's empty chair a worried glance. "Yah... Where, ya know, is tha boss?"
Nocturan Deadfall 10-26-03, 08:27 PM	Nocturan looks at Straak a bit oddly. "Last I saw him, he was being taken away by some woman I hadn't seen before. My guess is he ran away, like he usually does...." He lurches suddenly and staggers back into the nearest wall, a small surge of electricity leaving his body as he makes contact, bright sparks playing in the air for a moment. As the sparks fade, the metal objects fall away and the chains hang loosely around him. He shakes his head as his movement returns to normal. ".... I hate it when that happens...."
Straak 10-26-03, 09:50 PM	Straak shakes his head, giving Nugan's chair another worried glance. "Yah... I don't, ya know, think so... Tha boss woulda run back here or home... And he wouldn't take some, ya know, woman home with him..." Straak shifts from foot to foot nervously. "Yah... Which, ya know, woman was it?"
Nocturan Deadfall 10-26-03, 11:01 PM	Nocturan shrugs. "Like I said, never seen her before. I think it was the one fighting Gaspy when we arrived, but I'm not sure. I was too busy trying to carve that other squidface." He sneers at that, a claw blade extending and retracting with a sudden two-fold clang.
Straak 10-26-03, 11:28 PM	Straak sighs in relief. "Yah... That's, ya know, Dahreen... She should ba able ta, ya know, help him..." Straak glances around the Guildhall. "Its pretty, ya know, dead.... Yah... I hope tha boss gets back, ya know, soon..."
Nocturan Deadfall 10-27-03, 12:28 AM	Nocturan nods very slightly. "It is unusually quiet around here.... Odd that I'm the only one who came back here after the fight voluntarily.... Where in the Nine Hells is everybody?" He smirks slightly. "Yeah, and I hope Nugan gets back soon too.... I guess...."
fantasyfighter55 11-03-03, 09:02 PM	Fantasy walks into the Guildhall, and looks around, taking in a deep breath Ahh... It's great to be back! It's been so long since i've been here! He snaps, and a chair appears behind him. He sits, and looks around Ehh... hello people... most of which I don't know...
Straak 11-03-03, 09:10 PM	Straak smiles at Fantasy when he walks in. "Yah... Hello Fantasy. Long time, no, ya know, see... And ya couldn't have come at a, ya know, better time. Well, I guess ya, ya know, could've, for ya own sake, but... Yah... We could really use some, ya know, help."
fantasyfighter55 11-03-03, 09:14 PM	Gives a little smirk Eh, i've been on... "vacation"... Well, anyways, my problem's been taken care of, and err... i'm back? He gives a little smile, and leans back in his chair So, Straak, what ya need help with? He suddenly smirks at a passing thought Did Nugan get kidnapped again?
Straak 11-03-03, 09:20 PM	Straak gives Fantasy a worried look. "Yah... There's, ya know, a lot. Some Siobhan witch is runnin' around, ya know, killin' people, and she hurt tha boss, me, and another member... We'll all, ya know, better now, but... Yah... Tha boss's got a, yaknow, grudge against her now... And there was a, ya know, fight... Tha boss got hurt by Asthnar.... Who, ya know, turned on us... Yah... And... He's recoverin' somewher, and I... Yah... I'm, ya know, in carge, and... Yah... I don't... ya know... know what to do."
fantasyfighter55 11-03-03, 09:32 PM	Blinks, leans back in his chair too far, and falls backwards Eh... looks like I took the worst time to take a vacation... I missed a lot... anyways, you just tell me anything I can do, and I'll do it.
Straak 11-03-03, 09:34 PM	Straak nods. "Yah... Ya know, thanks. Right now we're, ya know, waiting for tha boss to send some word... And if he, ya know, doesn't... Yah... I don't know."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-06-03, 08:57 AM	Within the scrying hall, a cloudlike whirlwind of mists and fogs begins forming, and at the peak of its speed, it turns completely black. When it vanishes, three humanoids stand where it passed, surrounding the Scrying Mirror: First of these humanoids is Steelgrind, the same dwarf who earlier had such a curious interaction with the Drakhara, clad in flowing robes of white silk and orange atlas, his white beard weaved to a single, massive and well-tended braid. The dwarf is as clean as can be, obviously wealthy, and probably of a high social layer; A nobleman to asume the least. His boots are plated with silver, and bear silver spikes - probably a clan symbol. On his side hangs a small bumerang-axe - a rare object, with which the nobleman probably has no skill, and carries it as a status-symbol. He appeared kneeling, but then streightens up, looking at the Mirror and across the room. One could assume Steelgrind was actually the one to call down the divine miracle that brought the three of them hence. {{OOC: Kulideb and Sneech, please describe the appearances of your characters, and then we'll wait for Nugan to tell us wether we even find him in the hall.}}
kulideb 11-06-03, 04:40 PM	"You might have asked before whisking us away!" Lushay says in a hushed angry whisper. The human female, smoothed down her tunic and tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear. Her rougues instincts took over as she began to look around the room, making sure she didnt touch anything. Her hand stayed near her sword as she listerned out for any noise that might indicate someone aproaching.
kulideb 11-06-03, 04:41 PM	((sorry!))
Nugan 11-06-03, 04:49 PM	((Sorry to break this to you guys, but: A) Nugan doesn't live at the Guildhall (see earlier posts referencing his tower) & B) Nugan's not even there right now (See earlier posts on this thread and the Iheritance of Veyekan Part II thread). You are, however, free to teleport into any room of the Guildhall, and cause whatever trouble you want to. Sorry.))
Nugan 11-06-03, 04:49 PM	((Edit: Double-post. *sigh*))
kulideb 11-06-03, 04:55 PM	Lushay stopped looking around. "some thing is wrong, it doesnt look like any one has been here awhile."
Nugan 11-06-03, 05:33 PM	((Nice catch. :) I'll bring Straak in as soon as he's needed.))
N.Y. Wench 11-06-03, 06:16 PM	(ooc:(still working on a signature way to mark ooc lines, i copy Streetcat's metod for now) Streetcat gave me his password when i mailed him about this stuff and i edited his last mesage here so now it makes real sence! now both Streetcat and the others: please read how i edited because i want everyone to know what Streetcat's char does and for himself to see if he's okay with it. I'll try not to use Streetcat's password for anything wicked...maybe!) The third and last person appearing from the divine mists is a frightened looking (her eyes show terror but also sinister determination as the eyes of a human who is ready to do anything. Really just ...anything.) slender human girl obviously too young to survive in such places even if she had a Rod of Limited Wishes. She is completely pale, as if she was living in the sewers for years, and her skin looks kinda sick and her hands are dirty and have very broken nails. She isn't halfling just very youg human (think modern day human 12). Her hair is black and very messd up but seems almost clean and to her feet are simple sandals. She wears an expensive girly dress like only noblemen buy for theyr doughters...but it's very much stained with blood. (imagine Alice from the computer game and make her brunette and ugly and evil) She holds a dagger in her hand as if it was a long sword (because it's heavy and she's week, but also because of her size) and a spur is attached to one of her sandals. She also has a hand cross bow hanging from a lace on her dress but she doesn't seem to carry amunition anywhere and it's unloaded. Eera steps up to the dwarf, all streigned and shaking, her fists nervously clenched and but hands stretched along her torso, and yells, almost crying: "I don't care how badly you wanna show us what a good pet of your gods you are! I hate not knowing where i am! Don't you ever do this without telling me first!!!" When she relaxes a little she turns to Lushay, runs up to her, and stands close to her while still looking at the dwarf and frowning...she almsot looks like a normal girl seeking protection near her mother's skirt
fantasyfighter55 11-06-03, 10:27 PM	slowly walks into the scrying hall, and looks around, hand on his sword hilt "Something's... not right..." looks at the three people "Excuse me... who're you?"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-06-03, 11:47 PM	Steelgrind walks around the room slowly, examining it along the walls. His onyl reply to Lushay was "I could, indeed..." And to Eera, he merely responded with silence, while looking at her with yellow eyes which provoke a strange feeling, as if these eyes seeked to consume the young human. The expression probably glattered Zincaller just as much as it scared his companion. By the time Fantasy enters the hall, Steelgrind is already adjecent to the door, which he then shuts behind the newcomer. "Sit down please, my lord." This was said very politely and respectfully, although while saying this, he motioned towards the floor before him, where no chair of any sort was present. It was steelgrind's own voice, and his own intonation, not Zincaller's. However the elaborately polite motion also contained a message for Lushay; It was a sign-languege known only to true thieves, and the message was short: "Silence him." Regardless of the newcomer's actions, wether he sits or not, the dwarf extands his hand politely towards him, bowing lightly. "Steelgrind of Rendergrim, Juxtaposition Council; My companions - her exelence Moonbeam Adept Shaye and the Juxtaborn Infanta Sucubelle" In this time he was able to hide another mesage for Lushay in his gestures: "Don't harm him." Zincaller can recognize a thief when he sees one. He knew some of Lushay's worth from the moment he met her. Eera was a thief as well, obviously, but he doubted heavily the possibility that she could belong to any organized group... and he never bothered to check wether she knew the thieves' sign-languege. He realized he should learn more of his allies before taking them anywhere, but this didn't seem importaint at the time, and all otehr times but the present are secondary, unless a major matter is involved. This was no major matter; simply a diplomatic venture. {{OOC: Fantasy, please describe your char. Sneech, i'm proud of you - you didn't screw up at all; i love you.}}
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 02:16 AM	Nocturan, the eight and a half foot tall, fiteen hundred pound stitched together lizardman with mechanical implants, sits soundly in his usual chair in the main hall. The chains that cover his form are resting close to his armored and scale plated skin, forming an extra thick layer of metal over his sewn up flesh. His eyes scanning the table glowing a dull green-black with a vivid yellow light at the pupil. He growls, his jaws opening in their six sections and stands, cracking his neck and venting steam from vents along his throat. He growls low in his throat as he mutters to himself, the growl similar to the rumble of a crocodile. "This boredom.... is going to drive me insane.... I've got to find something to do...." He looks around, stretches his vast mechanical wings and snarls. "This place is not fun anymore.... Maybe there's something happening elsewhere...."
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 03:12 AM	Hector walks down the streets of Wracod, his eyes fixed on a map. He walks up to the Guildhall door, double checks his map, hesitates for a momment, then raises his hand and knocks on the door.
Straak 11-07-03, 03:16 AM	Straak watches Fantasy leave, then turns to Nocturan and opens his mouth, but is interrupted by the knock on the door. He turns towards it. "Yah... I hope that's tha boss..." Straak rushes to the door and pulls it open. "Welcome ba-Oh... Yah... Hi Hector..."
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 03:22 AM	Nocturan glances at Hector, then looks back to Straak. "Who the hell is this guy?" He glances around again, and growls slightly while muttering. "This place is so boring lately that not even breaking things is entertaining...."
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 03:25 AM	Hector stands stiffly in the doorway, and shifts his gaze down at Straak. "Hello Straak..." Hector reaches into a pounch on his belt, looking uncomfortably past Straak into the guildhall. "I... I was asked... I was asked to... I'm sorry, I must be distracted... Anyway, I have a note here... I... I was told it involves Nugan's health...." Hector withdraws a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and holds it out to Straak.
Straak 11-07-03, 03:29 AM	Straak takes the note absently, looking back at Nocturan. "Yah... This is Hector... A, ya know, old friend of tha boss... I think he's been workin' with, ya know, Dahreen lately..." Straak hurriedly opens the note and begins reading, a cautious smile crossing his face as he does.
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 03:31 AM	Nocturan arches an eyeridge at the mention of Nugan's health. "What? Did someone manage to off the weasel or something?" He then looks to Straak. "Oh right, the woman that took him off after the battle."
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 03:35 AM	Hector gives Nocturan an uncomfortable look from his spot on the doorstep. "Uh... Greetings..." Hector looks down at Straak. "Well... I think.... I think... Maybe... I should... Be going... Now..."
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 03:38 AM	Nocturan smirks and nods to Hector slightly. "Right... Well, you're a nice and relaxed person..." He trails off and mutters to himself. "Just what we need around here... another uptight naysayer to keep things boring...."
Straak 11-07-03, 03:40 AM	Straak fineshes reading, closes the note, and looks at Nocturan, smiling. "Yah... Ya can forget about that, ya know, boredom... Tha boss has a job for us... Something about Siobhan's, ya know, granddaughter..." Straak nods to Hector. "Yah... See ya Hector..." Straak begins to shut the door.
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 03:43 AM	Hector nods stiffly. "Goodnight Straak..." Hector turns as the door is shut, and begins to walk down the streets of Wracod in the direction he came. He continues for about half a block before he spins around, hurries back to the guildhall, and knocks on the door.
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 03:44 AM	Nocturan's eyes glow brighter for a moment, then he raises an eyeridge. "Grandaughter? That means that Gaspy bred...." Nocturan shudders, an irony all things considered. "All that aside.... what does the note say this job entails?"
Straak 11-07-03, 03:47 AM	Straak turns to Nocturan. "Yah... I'm not, ya know, sure... The note had a, ya know..." Straak pauses midsentance as he's interrupted by knocking again, he turns around and reopens the door. "Yah... Hi Hector... Ya know... Again..."
kulideb 11-07-03, 03:47 AM	Lushay looked at the man. "Well, from the decription I have of Nugan I'd say you arnt him, honey." She drew out her sword and moved towards the man. She had caught the dwarfs sign language, silence him but not harm him did the dwarf think she was a wizard! "But you might be able to help,hon."
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 03:51 AM	Nocturan looks back to the door and smirks. "It never ends...."
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 03:51 AM	Hector looks stiffly at Straak from the doorway again. "Sorry to interupt again... But... I thought I heard you mention something about Siobhan's Granddaughter..."
Straak 11-07-03, 03:55 AM	Straak nods. "Yah... I, ya know, mentioned her... But... Yah... I don't think I should, ya know, say anymore... Tha boss wouldn't want ya messing up a, ya know, job for him..."
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 03:58 AM	Hector pauses in the doorway. "But... I'm not sure you should..."
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 03:58 AM	Nocturan looks pointedly at Straak, and does an impression of him, a very vague and off-tone one. "Ya know... if he doesn't want ya ta mention it, then maybe ya should... ya know.... shut up." He smirks. "Seriously though, maybe you should stop talking and healer boy here will just leave."
Straak 11-07-03, 04:03 AM	Straak shakes his head. "Yah... Sorry Hector, but... Ya know... Goodnight." Straak shuts the door, and locks it before turning back to Nocturan. "Yah... Anyway... Tha boss included a, ya know, map ta some, ya know, temple or somethin'... Tha boss says he'll, ya know, meet us there... So.. Yah..."
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 04:06 AM	Nocturan nods, then smirks. "A map eh? Let's hope Nugan didn't write it himself.... So, portal or does this have to be a mundane hike?"
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 04:07 AM	Hector sighs slightly as the door is shut in his face. "Goodnight Straak..." Hector turns and begins to walk away, but pauses again. He stares at the Guildhall for a momment, then he walks towards it again, and slips into the space between it and the next building. He edges against the wall, and stares out at the street.
Straak 11-07-03, 04:09 AM	Straak shrugs. "Yah... Unless we got a, ya know, caster, looks like we're walkin' atleast part of tha way... And... Yah... Tha map looks like its in, ya know, Sharp's writin'..."
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 04:12 AM	Nocturan snarls. "Great. Why do I have a feeling it's going to send us the long way there too? At any rate, let's get going. The sooner we get out of this boring dump, the better."
Straak 11-07-03, 04:16 AM	Straak walks into the supply closet and begins packing. "Yah... Sounds, ya know, good ta me..." Straak emerges from the closet, backpack on, and walks towards the door. He glances back at the room Fantasy entered. "Yah... Fantasy... We're, ya know, leavin'... Ya wanna come? We'll be, ya know, outside..." Straak turns, walks to the door, unlocks it, opens it, and steps out into the street.
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 04:18 AM	Nocturan doesn't bother packing, as he feels no cold or hunger. He does however, put a tap into a keg of ale and lift said keg onto his shoulder. Smirking, he steps out after Straak. "Lead the way."
Straak 11-07-03, 04:21 AM	Straak closes the door, removes a key from his pocket, and locks it behind Nocturan. He then opens the map, and looks down the street to the west. "Yah... Looks like we go, ya know, that way..." Straak begins to walk down the street in the direction he indicated, and eventually disappears from sight.
Nocturan Deadfall 11-07-03, 04:29 AM	Nocturan follows after Straak holding the keg so that the tap is close to his jaws for easy drinking. He mutters to himself as he trails just a bit behind Straak. "Well... at the very least I'll be annoyed enough by the walk to tear a stone wall down with my bare claws..." He snarls a bit as he keeps walking, also disappearing from sight eventually.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-07-03, 04:31 AM	Still speaking in the calm, weighted voice that was originally Steelgrind's own, the dwarf turns to his ally. His left eye is totally brown now, while the right one is completely yellow. "No need to be so harsh, excelence, i am positive our host will be more than willing to cooperate with our authority..." His hands' motions are gestures of soothing, it seems {though are numerous beyond the norm}, but to the thief the words he forms in the sign-languege are clear: "I mistook thee for an assasin."
Hector Puern 11-07-03, 04:33 AM	Hector watches Straak and Nocturan pass from his place in the alleyway. He waits a momment and then he slips out of the alley, and begins following them from a distance.
A Goat 11-07-03, 04:36 AM	The goat emerges from the alley a few momments after Hector, a tin can hanging from his mouth. He stares at Hector's battered plate mail armor. o0(Mmmmm.... Can) The goat begins following Hector through the streets from a safe distance.
A Homeless Child 11-07-03, 04:39 AM	The child slips out of the alley a few momments after the goat, coughing. He stares at it for a short while. o0(Mmmm... Goat) The child, still coughing, begins following the goat from a distance.
Nugan 11-07-03, 04:45 AM	((Well, the Guildhall is now completely deserted besides FF55, and the GoV members. I will, however, still be lurking in case any OOC issues come up. Feel free to PM me with any questions.))
kulideb 11-07-03, 05:17 AM	Lushay watched the dwarfs hands, she smiled and was about to reply when she paused. She was sure she had heard a door and the soft murmer of voices had stopped. She took a step closer to their captive. "Well, honey it looks like you are on your own." her voice had a soft purr to it. She then spoke to steelgrind and the girl. "I think the boss got some thing wrong some where, but may be this fellow can help. We could let Eera play with him."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-07-03, 05:21 AM	"My dear Sucubelle, have a look around the guildhouse, if thou pleaseth." After throwing that comment to Eera, the dwarf returns to speaking to Fantasy: "Now, we shall all be glad to hear thy name, and anything else thou wisheth to unfold before us. Raise not thy voice however, for that would be terribly undiplomatic, and could end our conversation as abruptly as - i am sure thy understanding is full..." After a short though he adds: "Oh, and being uneccesarily silent is hardly better than raising one's voice on his guests, ofcourse. Some cultures consider it extreemly rude, chalange-proposing, even... not at all apropriate for the ethiquette of our meeting."
stratagues_evermore 11-07-03, 03:31 PM	Jebbido comes out of his hiding place after the rest of the theives guild. He swallows and makes his way to the door waiting for the arrival of his employer...
Lucere 11-07-03, 03:34 PM	A suttle knock comes at the door, twice then once.
stratagues_evermore 11-07-03, 03:38 PM	The gnome begans dry washing his hands not wanting to answer the door but knowing the consequences if he for some reason did not. Finally his fear overcomes him and he opens the door to let the assasian in.
Lucere 11-07-03, 03:44 PM	Three bugs about the size of large dogs lead the way of Lucere as he walks into the guild. These bugs are not just any bugs, to the trained eye they are the dangerous bugs called "Rust Bugs." Their name implies what they do; there antennas being somehow magically enchanted rust and corode any metal they come in contact with. The bugs then consume what is left of the metal. Lucere glances at Jebbido "Where are the other three?"
stratagues_evermore 11-07-03, 03:48 PM	The small theif trembles at the sight of his former captor "I..I..do..don't...kn...know. They ha...have no...ot come ye......et." He flinches accepting what is to come next."
Lucere 11-07-03, 03:54 PM	The lycanthrope assasian lifts the gnome up by his collar. "If they are not here then where are they!" He then hurls the small little body across the room smacking the gnome against a wall. He then looks around the room and realizes that no one is here at all except the gnome and himself. He smirks evilly "No matter, I can deal with that later." The elf dug in his pocket for a moment and pulls out a key, the key that Nugan had given him to open the trophy room. "Well, I might as well use this while I get the chance." He then makes his way to where nugan's pet Bandit had shown him the trophy room last time he was here. :smirk:
N.Y. Wench 11-08-03, 02:27 PM	Eera passes near the hostage and makes a quick search on him. Any weapon she finds gets special treatment which means she touches it all over while something black drips form her hands eating its way through the weapon untill it's useless. "I will, but only because i know that someone is there, not because you accidently had the brains to tell me to!" She doesn't even turn to the dwarf when she says it. Then she lies down on the floor beside the door covers her head with her hands and melts down. The flows under the door and opens her eyes then sees the boss closes her eyes and flows back under the door and reforms solidly again. The door and the floor are still stinky but all of her is gathered again and she says quietly: "Boss is here. And no one else, at all..."
N.Y. Wench 11-08-03, 02:27 PM	Eera passes near the hostage and makes a quick search on him. Any weapon she finds gets special treatment which means she touches it all over while something black drips form her hands eating its way through the weapon untill it's useless. "I will, but only because i know that someone is there, not because you accidently had the brains to tell me to!" She doesn't even turn to the dwarf when she says it. Then she lies down on the floor beside the door covers her head with her hands and melts down. The flows under the door and opens her eyes then sees the boss closes her eyes and flows back under the door and reforms solidly again. The door and the floor are still stinky but all of her is gathered again and she says quietly: "Boss is here. And no one else, at all..."
kulideb 11-09-03, 05:40 AM	Lushay raised an eyebrow when Eera said that the boss was here. She went over to their hostage. "He seems to know nothing, and I would like to see what our boss is up too." She takes a hold of some rope and binds the mans hands and feet, then using some strips of cloth she goes to gagg him.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-09-03, 06:52 AM	Steelgrind bends slightly next to the hostage, to look directly in his eyes, and gets so close that theyr noses are almost touching. For a moment Fantasy can see Zincaller's own face, instead of Steelgrind's. "Useless fleshcube of a mortal..." This was pronounced very quietly, and yet with enough anger to make an averege human feel an urge to hide somewhere dark. Then he goes tot he door, and opens it all the way, seeing Lucere at the end of the corridor. "Lucere, ye informant of thyne proved worthless in locating our prey... Make him reveal our Veiled One's location, so we may take him, and infest this domain with traps... and lurkers... for when Nugan and his underlings shall return. We shan't leave this place without causing damage... also, willeth thou ye search of other halls of this guildhouse for case of ambush?" He turns his head backwards to look at Eera; his eyes' yellow glow weekens to some extent. "I am greately tempted to terrify this larvameat of an informant to death, yet i shall let thee have him, if thou hast any use for ye doomed gnome."
Lucere 11-09-03, 03:31 PM	Lucere looks at steelgrind blankly for a moment then realizes that the reason they had come was to save a fellow guild member. Lucere thinks for a moment trying to change this to his advantage. "He says that he is in the room over there" He points to the room that he had been heading for. "But he is not sure." He holds up a key and tosses it to the dwarf. "Have one of the others open it. I am going to look outside to see if anyone is skulking about outside." Lucere pulls on the leashes of the bugs that he has and heads out the door. He thinks to himself that if the room is trapped they will set it off for him without him having to worry about tripping it himself. He also hoped that steelgrind would listen to what he said and have one of the females open it since he has began to trust in the dwarfs ability.. :smirk: but if not he can always find another.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-09-03, 05:15 PM	Steelgrind lets the key fall to his feet, and with a hit of his boot sends it along the corridor's floor into the scrying hall. "One of you will seek in ye room where Rocky is said to be constricted... ye other must attempt to activate the scrying surface yonder... while i shall examin these three halls..." He begins walking towards the library, stops near the gnome, looks in his eyes, and sais very slowly: "Wisheth thou to live on and escape perhaps? Follow my little child Eera, untill she renders thee dismissed... then come to me, and i shall grant thee thy chance..." Steelgrind releases the lousy excuse of an informant without any harm at all, and just before entering the library he turns back to Lucere. "Before so, perhaps thou willeth to spectate our silent hostage? Do glance at him, i wager thy skills at bringing cries out of those too silent to speak are greate..." With that he enters the library, and will probably stay there, checking different scrolls, reading some of them, untill someone calls for him, or something noteworthy happens.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-09-03, 05:15 PM	.
kulideb 11-10-03, 04:25 AM	Lushay picked up the key and walked over to the door. She crouched down and began to examin the key, then she unrolled a pouch. The pouch was leather inside was an asortment of picks and some small jars, some contained powders while others held liquids. First with out touching the door she began to examin it, looking out for traps and glyph markings. from the pouch she took out a jar that had a pale green powder, she poured some on her hand then gentaly blew some of the powder on the hinges of the door and on the lock. The powder on the lock stayed a pale green while the powder on the hinges changed to a darker shade. A smile crossed Lushays face as she set about disarming the traps. She knew that this was her first test at the guild, so far so good! she thought. Next she took a jar that seemed to contain a liquid silver, she carefully poured some into the lock on the door. The silver liquid entered the lock it began to set forming a key, (she didnt trust the key she had been given.) the liquid was one of her most treasured items. Taking a hold of the key she tured it, there was a click as the lock opened. She pulled the key out and put it back into the jar where it became liquid once more. "Doors open."
Golddigger Dwarf 11-11-03, 01:08 AM	He lay there, in a pool of shallow dank water. His hands tied to his feet like a prized pig. Blood was coming out of his nose, he wasn’t breathing. On the upside this was the cleanest he’d ever been.
kulideb 11-11-03, 04:50 AM	"You might want to come and look at this." Lushay said, looking in to the room.
Lucere 11-11-03, 09:27 PM	Lucere stands outside listening at the door to see if he hears the sound of screaming, but after moments he hears nothing. He stands and waits for a few more moments and then leads his animals back inside. He makes his way to where Lushay is and stops looking at the dwarf not really expecting him to be there but not making any motions that he is suprised. "Hmm, well at least we don't have to deal with his normal stench."
kulideb 11-13-03, 06:14 AM	Lushay stepped into the room, knelt down by the Dwarfs body. "I take it you werent close friends then" she said to Lucere.
Golddigger Dwarf 11-13-03, 01:00 PM	Lushay finds a note pined to his body that says DEATH COMES FOR ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY! Your New Master Nugen!
Lucere 11-13-03, 04:38 PM	Lucere laughs at the note pinned to the dwarf. "This seems odd, this isn't Nugan's style. Though he is a theif, he is not vicious. And my and the dwarf where about as close as I am to anyone. ((OOC that means nothing from him being as he sold his parents to slavers :smirk: )) If somehow the dwarf is living though not breathing, untie the sloth. If the slug be dead, leave him for the maggots." Lucere ties the bugs off to the side and moves to where they have the prisoner captured. "Hmm, I wonder this one will last long enough to tell Nugan his hellish story. I wonder if Nugan will grovel or bow first...." :bow:
Nugan 11-13-03, 04:52 PM	((Just a note: Nugan didn't write that (as I didn't know about it till now), or authorize the kidnapping/murder, but that doesn't mean another Apathy person couldn't have behind Nugan's back. Oh, and thanks for bumping the thread so much while we're gone. :D ))
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-13-03, 07:04 PM	Steelgrind still enjoies the guild's library. Not only Zincaller, but also Steelgrind himself; By now his belongings already contain a few scrolls, books, and other forms of written media, which either the Lawfull-Good councilor or the Chaotic-Evil fallen wfa`mix within him, or even both, desided would be better off in theyr posession, rather than within the confines of Apathy's library. Some of these even appear to be magical, or otherwise non-mundane.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-13-03, 07:04 PM	.
kulideb 11-14-03, 04:24 AM	Lushay unties the dwarf had gives him a kick. "where are the others? there isnt much else in here." She looks down at the dwarf. To see if hes moved or groaned.
Lucere 11-17-03, 03:34 PM	Lucere looks to the man tied. Well, well, what do we have here. Can you speak or is your incapacitaded, because if it is then you will have no problems with me removing and selling for some sheckles." Lucere pulls a thin wire from his bag and looks at the prisoner awaiting an answer.
N.Y. Wench 11-17-03, 11:36 PM	Eera doesn't pay attention to what happens with the others because as soon as the dwarf mentions the possibility of activating the mirror her eyes shone and she ran to try at it. She began using any general divination spells she knew to either channel them through the mirror making it show her where Nugan is or just discover how this mirror works (like when you study an artifact).

fantasyfighter55 11-18-03, 12:19 AM	suddenly reappears Hey people. Anyone miss me?
Lucere 11-18-03, 05:09 PM	Lucere sneers at the pile of clothes he seemed to be talking to and kicks it. :censored:
stratagues_evermore 11-18-03, 05:18 PM	Jebbido squeeks and quickly scrambles out of the pile of clothes and down the hall all the while thinking to himself "I should have never helped him. I'm going to get killed for this. And there isn't even any profit for it! I wil ask nugan to supply with protection as soon as..." Smack! Jebbido stumbles head over heels backwards. After a moment he realizes what happened and looks at the wall of a dwarf he just ran headlong into. "Well this isn't good" squeeks as he stares at the dwarf.
Lucere 11-19-03, 04:31 PM	Lucere swiftly moves after the gnome but he knows that he won't catch him. He stops at the door and yells for someone to grab the little informant. "Grab him! Do not let him get away!" The elf turns and now pulls his morbid knife out of his pocket. It is a cruelly hooked knife made for grabbing a hold of a person's throat and removing it. Also the blade is barbed making removing the blasde gently a difficult task. The lycanthrope sits his feet waiting for the prisoners reaction. (OOC the prisoner I am talking about it FF55)
kulideb 11-20-03, 09:14 AM	The dwarf hadnt moved so Lushay lost intrest in him. finding nothing else of intrest she setts off to find the others.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-22-03, 10:37 AM	Suddenly steelgrind's body, so far walking through the shelfs, looking for anything else in the library to catch his {in one way or another} attention, shudders, as if from a sudden chill. For a moment, Zincaller ponders wether telling Lucere of what his sence revealed to him would bea good idea. Eventually, he desides no harm to him or his plans will come of it, whereas his usefullness will be proven once again, and after dropping a blot of ink on the floor to mark the spot where he stopped, he walks out of the library. "Lucere! Our guildhouse is being... explored by ye fleshhearts. I assumed thy awareness may be wanted..."

Bandit, Nugan's Familar 11-23-03, 08:20 PM	Bandit pulls open the hatch in the guildhall cieling with his teeth, and scurries through, dropping silently onto a beam. ((Ok, ok, I figured I should atleast have one character in my own thread. ;) ))
Lucere 11-24-03, 09:46 PM	Lucere keeping his eyes on the prisoner yells "What are you talking." The elf stands wondering if has guildmates sanity has suddenly left him...
stratagues_evermore 11-24-03, 10:13 PM	Jebbido wonders how he made it to the trophy room, and wonders why there is a dead dwarf here.((OOC and I am wondering how he made it past Lushay)) The gnome looks around warily wondering if anyone is here.
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 11-24-03, 10:43 PM	Bandit scurries to the end of the beam, and down the wall to the Trophy Room portal. He then scales the wall to the key hole, removes a small key from his collar his his teeth, places it in the keyhole, and activates the portal. He then removes the key, drops back to the floor, and scurries through the portal.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-24-03, 11:45 PM	Steelgrind moves to positione himself infrint of Steelgrind; he stares hard into his eyes, while his own glow intensely in yellow. He speaks slowly and sharply. "Rotten townfolk, at these moments, is degeneratefully staring at our guildhall. From the inside!"
kulideb 11-25-03, 04:59 AM	Lushay turned and set off towards the door of the trophy room, for the first time she realizes she's not alone, she pulls out her one of her daggers her eyes glare (although she is more cross with her self for not noticing the presence of the informer.) "What do you want?" she says in a low voice. A scurrying noise made her look up to the beams, but she carn't make out what is up there, most likely rats drawn to the dead dwarfs body she thought and payed it no more attenttion. "Well!" ((sorry I thoght he was in Steelgrinds room:embarrass ))
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 11-25-03, 03:35 PM	Bandit scurries out of the portal into the Trophy Room, and benhind one of the trophy cases. He scales the case's wooden base, and peaks trough the bottom edge of the case's glass, watching Lucere and Jebbido.
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 01:08 AM	The shadows outside of the guildhall ripple and warp, growing darker at the center and brighter at the edges as a portal coalesces. A tall elven man with black hair and green eyes, draped in a black cloak and carrying an array of swords at his sides steps forward from this gateway. He regards the guildhall doors casually for a moment, as if studying them. "A fine defense from a battering ram. Not all that useful against a pin. Looks like Nocturan has been busy here." While it seems that he speaks to nothing, he looks over his shoulder and back through the portal as he waits for his accomplices to arrive. "I hope you're ready to move, because this is the night we take vengeance on Apathy."
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 01:18 AM	A tall drow man dressed in a suit of breastplate armor and a long cloak, holding a long hafted glaive in both hands, is the next to step through. He stands over half a foot taller than the elf who arrived before him, and is twice as muscular with ease. He smirks as he looks around, also appraising the massive metal doors. "Of course it's Nocturan's work. Who else in this guild would able to move those things? No matter, they'll be open soon enough." Taking up a place next to the elf, he looks around, making sure that no one approaches from behind, preventing being surprised from the roadside.
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 01:26 AM	A large black hound with dull, shaggy black fur covering his body and glowing orange eyes is the next to appear from the gateway. Covered in places by thick armor plates bearing heavy spikes, and a collar bearing similar patterns to the gear carried by the elf and the drow, he is clearly a beast trained for combat. He sniffs around, his nose to the ground as he seems to have picked up on a scent of some sort. He looks at the door, then at the elf and lets out a low growl, almost smirking in a canine way.
Hekyl 11-27-03, 01:26 AM	A tall, thin man with pale, nearly white, skin wearing long black robes with a long scar running down the outside of his right arm down to the edge of his hand steps from the portal and walks up behind Tharivious. "Sir, we've never..."
Jekyl 11-27-03, 01:31 AM	A tall, thin man with pale, nearly white, skin wearing long black robes with a long scar running down the outside of his left arm down to the edge of his hand steps from the portal and walks up to the right of Hekyl. "...been more ready."
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 01:42 AM	Tharivious smirks a bit as Hekyl and Jekyl arrive and speak. "I've said it before, but I'll say it again. It's good to have the two of you back among us. Now, I believe it's time we show the weasel why he should have thought more carefully two years ago when he took our guild right out from beneath us, hmm? We may not be striking at his tower, but it's the next best thing." The elf turns to face the doors and taps the lock soundlessly three times, checking to see the status of the locking mechanism. Finding it locked, he stoops down and opens a small compartment in the hell of his right boot, taking out a small set of lock picks and sets to work.
Hekyl 11-27-03, 01:52 AM	Hekyl turns his head, looking down the street to the left. "I hope that spy..."
Jekyl 11-27-03, 01:56 AM	Jekyl turns his head, looking down the street to the right. "... doesn't decide to blow us off."
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 01:57 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj smirks a bit, looking between the twin mages. He looks back out over the road nearby. "Odd. For the location of this guildhall, it's strangely quiet. Maybe the weasel gave up already and left. There are too many members of Apathy for this place to be this deserted."
Megan Olliever 11-27-03, 02:02 AM	A slight, blond-haired elven woman with a tiny hawk-like creature made of fire perched on her shoulder emerges from the allyway to the right of the guildhall. She taps Jekyl on the should and smirks. "You boys were saying something? I missed the first part because the other half your brain was standing too far away..."
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 02:06 AM	Tharivious smirks as he glances between Hekyl and Jekyl, shaking his head slightly at a thought. . o O ( I put up with that for so long, and now I'm putting up with it again.... ) He blinks as he sees the young woman arrive, and actually does a double take. "You? What in the nine are you doing here?"
Jekyl 11-27-03, 02:06 AM	Jekyl spins to face Megan. "Oh, there..."
Hekyl 11-27-03, 02:11 AM	Hekyl spins to face Megan just a momment after his brother. "... you are."
zoe_augustus 11-27-03, 02:19 AM	A hobgoblin man dressed in all black stumbles into the room from a black portal. In one hand he holds a large staff of shaped bone and in the other, the hair of a small child, who squirms in his grasp. He surveys the room for a moment with a smirk. "Did somebody call for the Human Rights Inspector?"
Megan Olliever 11-27-03, 02:20 AM	Megan walks over to Tharivious, smirking. "W-what's w-w-rong Th-tharivious, y-you d-didn't m-m-miss m-me?" Megan bursts into laughter. After a momment, she manages to gain control over herself and looks him in the face again. "I'm your spy... I used to work for Nugan, remember?"
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 02:22 AM	Barra'rrorrok barks and snarls when he sees Megan, lowering on his haunches like an angry dog would, since he essentially is one. His tail goes straight down, his ears go back, and his teeth are bared. Being a 250 beast of a shadow mastiff, he's probably pretty intimidating. ;)
Ratalgy 11-27-03, 02:31 AM	Ratalgy zips from the portal behind Yanen. He looks around and hops anxiously from foot to foot. "SoYanenAreWeGonnaGetToBeAll" Ratalgy makes three rapid stabbing motions. "AndStuff?!"
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 02:35 AM	Tharivious sneers, his eyes flashing black for a moment. "Oh, I remember. Which is why I'm not exactly elated to see you here." He turns back to the guildhall doors and flicks the lock pick once more, letting a nearly silent click loose as the lock's catch opens. "Good old Nocturan. The simpleton bought simple locks. That figures, easier for the big lug to break them open."
zoe_augustus 11-27-03, 02:39 AM	Yanen nods with a smile. "Yep, we sure are.." He surveys the room, looking at all of the people present. Fumbling through his robes, he withdraws a small circular glass container and hands it to the child next to him. "Here, hold this. Don't drop it....until i tell you to.." Yanen pushes the child infront of him and starts walking towards Megan with a smirk.
Megan Olliever 11-27-03, 02:43 AM	Megan looks at the Shadow Mastiff and takes a nervous step backwards. "Tharivious, call off your [female dog] now, please..." Megan turns towards the door. "I don't remember these... There used to be a thin, unlocked oak door here... Who would've thought Apathy would care enough to actually fix a security hole, eh?"
Ratalgy 11-27-03, 02:56 AM	Ratalgy zips up to Yanen and circles around him once. "WaitWaitWait! WeNeedOneMoreThingBeforeWeCanGetAll" Ratalgy makes three rapid stabbing motions. "AndStuff! I'llBeRightBackAndAll!" Ratalgy zips back into the portal and zips back out holding a large black plastic box with rows of perferations on either side of it. He presses a buttom, and turns a dial on it, and music begins to flow from it. "Captain Jack will get you high tonight And take you to your special island Captain Jack will get you by tonight Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'..."
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 03:01 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj smirks a bit as he sees Megan. "Oh, so this is the one responsible for that stuttering fool stunt a few months ago. Great, just great." He looks over as he hears the music and raises an eyebrow. "We've got company...."
zoe_augustus 11-27-03, 03:04 AM	Yanen smirks as he hears the music blaring from the device. "Righto then, its Gulliani time....and whatnot." He heads for the door to the guildhall, still keeping the child in front of him. Upon reaching it, he kicks it open and shoves the child outside (and into the arms of those that might be waiting there).
Hekyl 11-27-03, 03:12 AM	Hekyl spins around as the door swings open. "What the..."
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 03:13 AM	Tharivious eyes Megan, then looks at Barra with a smirk. "Simply put, he doesn't like you, I don't like you, and my hound can growl at whoever he wants to growl at, so deal with it." He then turns to open the door just as it is kicked open, causing him to dodge to the side, rolling out of the way of the heavy iron doors and back to his feet with practiced skill. As he sees the child, he utters a curse beneath his breath. . o O ( ~closed to all means of detection~ There can only be on explanation for that, and it isn't good.... )
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-27-03, 03:13 AM	{{OOC:If i understand correctly, Meliamne and the Servants of Shadow {inclueding Megan} are still outside, whereas Yanen and Ratalgy {the latter's appearance's description would be greately apreciated, btw} Opened theyr portal into the guildhouse itself. If i'm correct, the two groups do not see each other, but we, the Veiled see Yanen and Ratalgy, and they see us.}}
Jekyl 11-27-03, 03:18 AM	Jekyl spins around as the door swings open. "... hell?" ((Quath> Yes, that was correct (if I follow right), up until the point in Yanen's last post were he opened the door to outside. Now they can see each other, and GoV may be able to see both groups))
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 03:23 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj snarls as he sees the door swinging open, leveling his glaive to meet whatever might be coming through to catch any potential chargers. His skin instantly grows thick scales an his face shifts about halfway between that of a drow and a dragon. Wings and a tail begin to sprout from his back and shoulders as his transformation from his drow form to his half dragon form occurs.
Hekyl 11-27-03, 03:28 AM	Hekyl winces and takes a step back as the child trips over the shaft of Igy's glaive and stumbles towards him. "Oh...." Hekyl gives the child a push to his right before it can collide with him.
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 03:32 AM	Barra'rrorrok stops growling at Megan when the door swings open and spins, turning on his haunches to face the arriving pair of liches. His teeth become even more prominent as his lips pull back farther into a vicious snarl, the spikes on his armor gleaming a bit with reflections of whatever light may be present.
Jekyl 11-27-03, 03:34 AM	Jekyl winces and takes a step back as the child is pushed away by his brother and stumbles towards him. "... no!" Jekyl gives the child a push to his left before it can collide with him.
Hekyl 11-27-03, 03:41 AM	Hekyl winces and takes a step back as the child is pushed away by his brother and stumbles towards him. "Stop..." Hekyl gives the child a push to his right before it can collide with him
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 03:44 AM	Tharivious sneers as he watches the door, waiting for the ones he know will be walking out soon. His hands fall to his right side, drawing a green hilted longsword into his left hand and a silver hilted short sword with a dull grey blade into his right. In an instant, the longsword is sheathed in shimmering emerald green fire, and the short sword blade lengthens to match the green weapon, glowing with a white radiance as the blade becomes pure energy. He mutters low to himself in a hushed whisper "Well then, this has been a long time in the making...."
Jekyl 11-27-03, 03:48 AM	Jekyl winces and takes a step back as the child is pushed away by his brother and stumbles towards him. "... that!" Jekyl gives the child a push to his left before it can collide with him
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 03:52 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj blinks as the child is pushed out of the door first, but keeps the glaive leveled for the aforementioned tripping. He looks at the twin mages and shakes his head at the game of catch going on. "Great.... The mages are playing games." He steadies his still half dragon form and waits, keeping the glaive held out straight to guard the doors from anyone else exiting as best as he can.
Megan Olliever 11-27-03, 03:55 AM	Megan rolls her eyes. "Oh gods..." Megan steps betwen Hekyl and Jekyl, grabs the child by his arm, yanks hims hard, and releases, sending him spinning back towards Yanen and Ratalgy. "There!"
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 03:59 AM	Barra'rrorrok snarls, getting low to the ground and blending in with the shadows around him, becoming slightly more indistinct by the second. His ivory teeth bared, he keeps an eye on the approaching liches, waiting for them to step out.
Ratalgy 11-27-03, 04:02 AM	Ratalgy laughs, watching the child. "WellYanenThisIsDefinatelyMoreFunThanBlow ingUpASchoolAndUsesTheRemainsToBuildARea llyBigWorldDestroyingWeaponAndStuff!" Ratalgy dances over to the spinning child, makes a rapid slash at the back of his leg, and watches as he falls, and slides across the Guildhall floor into the Trophy room portal.
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 04:11 AM	Tharivious moves toward the door, keeping his footsteps silent. His skin fades to black along with his eyes as he takes on his shade visage once more, suddenly becoming even more silent and for the most part difficult to see. The light around him within one hundred feet begins to gradually dim as he sneers, causing his radiant weapons to shed no mroe light than that of a candle. He looks to his accomplices and motions toward the door with a nod. "Let's go. Looks like we came here for the weasel's gold, but found a couple of dead rats instead."
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 11-27-03, 04:11 AM	Bandit lets out a small chirp of surprise as he watches the explosive-rigged child skid from the portal into theTrophy Room from his place behind the glass trophy case. He drops off the case, and scurries to the far end of the room.
Hekyl 11-27-03, 04:22 AM	Hekyl walks up behind Tharivious and stands to his left. He pulls an obsidian dagger from a sheath on his right hip with his left hand, and begins making gestures in the air with his right. "Let's..."
Jekyl 11-27-03, 04:26 AM	Jekyl walks up behind Tharivious and stands to his right. He pulls an obsidian dagger from a sheath on his left hip with his right hand, and begins making gestures in the air with his left. "...roll."
Megan Olliever 11-27-03, 04:34 AM	Megan looks from Tharivious's crew to Yanen and Ratalgy and back again. "Yeah... Let's go... Right..." Megan turns and runs around the left side of the Guildhall. "Yoink."
Ratalgy 11-27-03, 04:41 AM	Ratalgy zip back to Yanen's left side and flips his dagger into his hand. "WowItLooksLikeWe'reGonnaGetToGoAll" Rayalgy makes three rapid stabbing motions. "ToAnotherMeliamneAgainAndAll! ThisIsReallyReallyReallyGonnaBeFairyElfK illingFunAndStuff!"
kulideb 11-27-03, 04:51 AM	Lushay looks away from the little informer, as she hears the sound of a door opening. She doesnt like being parted from the rest of the group. with a dagger ready in one hand and a small glass vial in the other she setts off to find Eera and Steelgrind. Taking care to hide and creep in the shadows.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-27-03, 05:15 AM	Originally posted by Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai Steelgrind moves to positione himself infrint of Steelgrind; he stares hard into his eyes, while his own glow intensely in yellow. He speaks slowly and sharply. "Rotten townfolk, at these moments, is degeneratefully staring at our guildhall. From the inside!" Not getting a reply from his guildmaster, Steelgrind seems ready to shake him, to make him snap out of whatever stupor got him. He reaches his hands upward to grab the elf's shoulders, but then the portal opens, and the duet of hobgoblin & {ravid?} appears; the two seem to ignore everyone present, and walk towards the doors, opening them, and engaging in pre-combat with an ambush prepared outside. The aristocratically dressed dwarf turns around slowly, withdraws his arms, and then looks at Lucere again. The extreme slowness of his movements was cause by surprise, but moreso by some tensed "discussion" betuin Zincaller and his unwilling host. ~ Among the objects i hast told thee to take is a windpipe. Draw it, and aim it at the child... my skill shall guide thee. ~ I will NEVER threaten a child, and will NEVER touch your filthy shady weapons! ~ Much slower dethes... of many a child... and threats uppon even more such, came from thy foot... thy tongue, and thy quill hand. Fleshheart mindlessness denied thee realization of thy deeds... Refuse my will, and thou shall experience each one's pain... as i remove ye curtains and grant thee full awareness of thy guilt... ~ Ahhh here you go again! You're not even claiming to care or give a sod, but you keep tormenting me with these words about misery and strife all over juxta being my own fault! ~ True, i care not for thy sins... I shall, however, peruse and ...apply them on ye follysh, irratinal and lyrical softness of thyne, each time thou mayeth cross my will with thy deeds... Suddenly, in sharp contrast to his lately apparent slowness, the dwarf makes a lightning-fast movement, and hurls the small bumerang-axe from his belt towards the child; the axe spins so quicly from the throwing movement, that in midflgiht it looks more like a chakram. Eyes glowing in even more yellow, the dwarf leaves one hand to catch the axe uppon returning, but seems to turn most of his attention - and his gaze - to Lucere. "Will thou tell me which side is ours in this cyrcus, or shalstl i proceed to plant death and confusion in whomever my heart leads me against, and let thee collect thy share in the loot from all these pesting fleshhearts?"
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 06:09 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj cracks his neck and steps forth into the guildhall behind the twin mages. He sneers as he sees Megan running off, holding his glaive level as he returns his focus on the hobgoblin and gnome liches inside. His muscles that are visible ripple like iron, showing that every bit of his draconic strength is currently present. "So much for a quick in and out heist. This is going to be more fun though."
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 06:15 AM	Barra'rrorrok pads in shortly behind Igy, keeping low to the ground and still visibly indistinct in the shadows generated by Tharivious's shade abilities. The shadow mastiff's armor plates glint like stars in the night sky around him, one of the only signs of his prescence to an average sight aside from his hauntingly glowing orange eyes.
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 06:24 AM	Tharivious looks to those around him, nodding to Igy and Barra, then raising an eyebrow at Hekyl and Jekyl. "Ok.... I'm remembering saying something like this to you two several times in the past.... You're mages, why in the hells are you pulling daggers instead of spell components?!" He shakes his head and looks back to Yanen, eyeing the lich coldly to the exclusion of all others. Holding both swords from his right side at the ready, one in each hand, he settles into a combat stance. "This has been a long time coming Yanen, nearly four and a half years as I recall. And best yet, there's no Raicel here to steal my vengeance this time."
kulideb 11-27-03, 04:46 PM	Lushay crept into the room just as Steelgrind is throwing an axe. Her hand tightens round the glass vial. She steps up behind the master elf, waiting to hear his reply to Steelgrinds question.
Lucere 11-27-03, 08:21 PM	Though the elf had stood there seemingly frozen to what was happening, he was actaully listening to the conversasion outside the door with his heightened hearing. Speaking in a voice low enough so only his two companions can hear. "This was unexpected. Though I think we have a fairly good chance against these unruly assailents, I do not want to be in the middle of combating them when the whole o fthe apathy guild decides to return and mop us both up with ease after our fight with each other. We will converse and see if we can make a pact with them ,if not, I don't want anyone making it out of here alive. Lushay, stand ready at the trophy room portal and prepare to set the trap off there if the negotiations do not go will. If it comes to that, our only objective is to get out. Steelgrind, ready your axe. The three beasts I brought are in the main room. Again if it comes to trouble cut the cords to the beast but do not let them near you. Little one, you will..." The lycanthrope looks around in realizaztion that there little companion is not present. Lucere thinks for a moment "If they have our small companion.....let them keep her"
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 10:05 PM	Tharivious continues to take slow, methodical steps forward, spinning his longswords in each hand with expert skill, making them seem much lighter than they should be, forming a virtual cage of metal and light trailing emerald green fire behind it. He glances over his shoulder at Igy and speaks through his mind, an onyx talisman around his neck glowing with a pale grey light. . o O ( ~closed telepathic message to Igyvasfaxavaj only~ Move around to the outer flank, you know how to run it from there. )
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 10:30 PM	Igyvasfaxavaj nods his presently half dragon head in agreement to the telepathic message. He begins to sidestep along the edge of the grouping, moving around Jekyl as he keeps his glaive balanced for a quick, powerful strike. . o O ( ~closed telepathic message to Tharivious only~ Right, you take Yanen, I'll get the hyperactive rat. What do we do about those others? ) With that, the transformed dragon gives an incredibly subtle nod in the direction of Lucere, Steelgrind, and Lushay. A nod that is barely noticeable and clearly a practiced signal between himself and Tharivious that appears to be little more than a slight twitch like one a warrior getting ready for a battle would have to loosen up his tensing muscles.
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 10:39 PM	Tharivious gives a momentary and imperceptable glance in the direction indicated by Igy's nod, quickly appraising the trio standing there at the sideline. Looking back to the transformed dragon, he speaks through his mind once more. . o O ( ~closed telepathic message to Igyvasfaxavaj only~ We wait, let them decide which side of this they are on. If they make one wrong move, we will have no choice but to consider them to be enemies and will have to remove them. Unless they appear to be threats, however, use non-lethal measures only. )
Igyvasfaxavaj 11-27-03, 10:51 PM	Igyvasfaxavaj gives a slight nod of agreement at that reply. He continues move in slow sidesteps, moving gradually into position. His wings flex a bit and his tail lashes around behind him as he lets out a low growl, a slight white glow escaping from a gap between his reptilian lips. . o O ( ~closed telepathic message to Tharivious only~ Very well then my brother. Nonlethal measures for any interlopers, and death to these undead abominations. Let it be done. ) The transformed dragon shifts his grip on the haft of his glaive, keeping it steady in hand.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-27-03, 11:00 PM	A small goblin standing just three and a half feet tall struts up the road to the guildhouse. He's dressed in a purple velvet suit, with baggy but well fitting pants and a double-breasted suit coat. A gold silk shirt is worn beneath, contrasting heavily with the rest of his suit. A wide brimmed purple hat is worn on his head, set with a feather into the golden hat band. He carries a short cane in his left hand, the fingers of which hold the cane unmoving and don't quite matching his skin tone. He walks with a bit of a limp, favoring his right foot and putting most of the pressure on his left leg with each step, making him seem confident and focused. . o O ( Let's see if that big lizard is there to pay his damn bill this time.... )
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 11:08 PM	Barra'rrorrok snifs the air and turns to look at the doorway. Getting lower down so that his chest nearly presses against the ground, he moves and looks outside, growling low as he spots the goblin. His ears flatten even more as he remembers his training in what to do with goblinoids and his growl grows louder into a nearly thunderous rumble.
Tharivious_Meliamne 11-27-03, 11:16 PM	Tharivious glances back over his shoulder when he hears Barra'rrorrok growling. Recognizing his pet's vocalizations from the time spent training him, he knows that a goblin is near. He almost sneers as he replies in the Penumbral tongue to Barra's growls. "Get him Barra, you know what to do."
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-27-03, 11:25 PM	Grineck blinks as he finds the guildhall doors open and looks closer when he gets within eyesight of the goings on. . o O ( Well, that's odd... I wonder what tha doors er open like that fer? ) As he gets close enough to see and hear Barra, his eyes go wide and his lower jaw trembles. "Dog.... Big damn dog.... Not good...." The little goblin begins to backpedal and trips over a tree root that crept its way into the path. Looking at the shadow mastiff he stammers and lets out a frightened squeel. "Not good!"
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 11:31 PM	Barra'rrorrol snarls and launches out of the guildhall, bounding toward the goblin with powerful strides and leaps. The massive canine breaks into a full run, his teeth bared and gnashing the air as his ears flop in the wind he creates.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-27-03, 11:40 PM	Grineck staggers back to his feet, fumbling through a deep pocket and finding nothing but lint. "Damnit... my dagger is in my other pants...." He looks back at Barra and forces a weak smile, hoping to put up a friendly face to get the shadow mastiff to leave him alone. "Now now.... good dog... nice dog.... Grineck's not a damn steak ya know... Just go back ta yer master and leave me be..."
Hekyl 11-27-03, 11:41 PM	Hekyl turns his head to watch the shadow mastiff and the goblin. "Well, this just keeps..."
Jekyl 11-27-03, 11:46 PM	Jekyl turns his head to watch the shadow mastiff and the goblin. "... getting more and more complicated."
Barra'rrorrok 11-27-03, 11:46 PM	Barra'rrorrok growls low as he closes in on the goblin. He slows down to a methodical, stalking pace as he lowers down, still baring his sharply pointed fangs. He barks loudly and viciously, letting loose the bay of his race, a sound that is known for its ability to instill fear in those who hear it.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-27-03, 11:55 PM	Grineck screeches loudly in a high pitch tone like the terrified goblin that he is as he hears the barking of the shadow mastiff. He stammers and raises his right hand, reaching forward and utters a single arcane word. "N..N..Not...Noturaaas!" A small burst of force shaped like his right hand, flattened out and open as if ready to slap something, shoots out from his palm and flies toward the massive hound. Grineck then immediately takes off in the opposite direction, running for the guildhall alley.
Barra'rrorrok 11-28-03, 12:02 AM	Barra'rrorrok is stricken across his canine face by the magic missile and yelps like, well, like a scolded dog. He takes a few steps back, his tail going straight down in annoyance and surprise at that and he eyes the goblin's back as he sees him running away. He takes off at a dead run once more, his canine limbs moving with fluid grace as he chases the goblin toward the alley.
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 12:09 AM	Megan sighs as she watches the shadow mastiff and goblin running towards herplace in the alleyway. She hurries to a large metal trash bin, opens the lid, and crawls inside.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 12:12 AM	Grineck keeps running as fast as his short legs can carry him, sprinting for the alleyway and hoping against hope to find some way to get out of the shadow mastiff's sight and to safety. He mutters a minor spell to create a small bone and tosses it to the side. "Go fetch! Ya know ya want ta get that bone.... go get it!"
Barra'rrorrok 11-28-03, 12:18 AM	Barra'rrorrok growls and barks as he taskes the bait and runs after the thrown bone, picking it up in his powerful jaws and chewing on it for a moment, gnashing the conjured bone into a threaded paste and devouring it like a normal dog would devour a biscuit. Even as he focuses on chewing the bone, he stares a hole through Grineck, his teeth remaining bared.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 12:24 AM	Grineck looks over his shoulder and sees Barra going after the decoy, with a slight grin of surprise that his trick actually worked, he darts into the alleyway and ducks behind a metal trash bin, likely the one that Megan is hiding inside. He breathes a sigh of relief as he crouches down, his back to the rest of the alleyway and he faces the wall. "Phew... that was too damn close..."
A Turkey 11-28-03, 12:27 AM	A large turkey quickly waddles into the alleyway from the opposite side. "Gobble, gobble, gobble." It jerks its neck around, looking through out onto the street, and waddles into the shadows on the side of the alleyway, watching a peasent man with a large ax rush past yelling curses. "Gobble..." It waits a momment,and waddles back into view in the alleyway. It then jerks its head from side to side in the alleyway and spots the shadow mastiff. "Gobble!"
Barra'rrorrok 11-28-03, 12:32 AM	Barra'rrorrok growls as he swallows the remains of the conjured bone, then blinks as he suddenly realizes that the bone has vanished from his stomach. He growls low and pads into the alley as quiet as a cat, unusual for a creature of his size, and sneaks up behind the huddling goblin, tracking the scent of Grineck's cheap cologne. He rears his head back and makes a bite for Grineck's exposed back, gnashing his teeth and shaking whatever he gets a hold of, not yet noticing the large turkey nearby.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 12:39 AM	Grineck yelps and jumps as he hears the shadow mastiff's breathing and almost screams out in fear as he feels the back of his jacket latched onto in the beast's jaws. He cries out in terror as he gets shaken by his clothes until the bottung on the jacket break off and he gets flung up into the air a few feet and drops down a bit to the side of where he went up, possibly landing on the lid on the metal waste bin.
Barra'rrorrok 11-28-03, 12:47 AM	Barra'rrorrok growls and snarls viciously as he continues to shake the jacket, wrenching it away from the goblin's form and kicking up a cloud of dust as the velvet fabric sweeps the alleyway ground. He swings the empty jacket around in a swirl as he rips it to shreds, leaving scraps of the expensive fabric all over the alley.
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 12:48 AM	Megan winces as her trash bin is jolted by the falling goblin. "I'd say the chances of that being a good thing are extremely slim... Megan pushes at the lid of the trash bin slightly, only to be unable to lift it because of the weight. "Damn it... They locked it or something... Well, guess this is it... Hope its just Tharivious preparing to execute me for turning on him, and not Yanen preparing too..." Megan shivers and doesn't finish.
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 12:54 AM	Grineck acks as the lid of the can he sits on is pushed upward a bit beneath him. He jumps up at the next attempt, letting it open just enough before he falls back down on top of it again with an oof and a groan. He rolls off the can, and seeing Barra still shaking and shredding his poor coat, he grabs the lid and opens it before diving into the can to hide.
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 01:00 AM	Megan jolts back to the opposite side of the trashcan as the goblin jumps inside. "What th-" Megan narrows her eyes at the goblin for a momment before a smirk crosses her face. "I mean..." Megan begins shivering and a few tears trickle out of her eyes. "O-oh thank the g-gods... I-I was s-s-so w-worried... Y-your h-here t-to help, r-r-right?"
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 01:07 AM	Grineck eyes the young woman already in the trash can and raises a brow. He looks back at himself and scowls at his sweat stained shirt and at losing his jacket to the hound. Looking back to Megan he sneers annoyedly. "Help you?! How tha hells am I supposed ta help you? I can't even help myself deal wit' that damn dog out there."
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 01:11 AM	Megan wipes away some tears and smiles at Grineck. "W-well, m-maybe we c-could h-h-help ea-each o-other... I-I was t-trained in w-wizardry... B-but th-those ev-evil p-people o-outside are t-too m-m-much for m-me al-alone..."
Barra'rrorrok 11-28-03, 01:24 AM	Barra'rrorrok continues to shake the purple velvet suit coat in his jaws, the cloud of dust getting larger by the second. After a moments of this, however, he realizes that he doesn't have his prey in his grasp and spits out the shredded fabric, looking around to see where the goblin got to.
A Turkey 11-28-03, 01:30 AM	The turkey turns and creeps out of the alleyway as the shadow mastiff is distracted. "Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble..." ((Sorry all, it was Thanksgiving and I couldn't help myself...))
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 01:32 AM	Grineck blinks at Megan in disbelief at that. "Yeah... ya musta been in this damn trash bin too long toots... I ain't helpin' nobody but me. Ya can go an' get yerself outta this, 'cuz I got better things ta do than help some random blond out off tha street." The goblin twitches his nose in annoyance and in reaction to the smell of being in a trash bin. He reaches up to his face and wipes away a small tear from his eye. "Besides... This place reminds me of home..."
Barra'rrorrok 11-28-03, 01:43 AM	Barra'rrorrok blinks as he spots the turkey, licking his chops as he turns away from the shredded jacket. He begins to pad after the bird, slowly at first, and then picking up speed. His lips pull back revealing the sharp fangs and his ears remain flattened against his head and neck.
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 01:48 AM	Megan stares at Grineck, lip quivering, and lets a single tear trickle down her face. "P-P-P-Please..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 01:52 AM	Grineck just looks at her blankly, a slight smirk crossing his face as he hears the shadow mastiff walking away. "Ya... did ya hear a word I just said toots? I ain't helpin' ya, so deal with it." The goblin then makes a move with his left arm, raising the still motionless hand with the cane and aims to smack Megan on the forehead to puncuate his statement.
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 01:57 AM	Megan hangs her head and her tears come faster. "O-oh... I-I g-g-guess I'll h-have to g-get in-into the Tr-trophy R-r-room all by m-myself th-then..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 02:03 AM	Grineck nods a bit, smirking at the tears. "Yep, ya damn right toots, all on yer own, right inta that trophy room." He blinks as he hears himself say that, the words just then registering. "Trophy room?"
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 02:10 AM	Megan nods, wiping away a tear. "Y-yes... Th-those Th-th-thieves r-robbed my f-f-family... I-I n-need to g-get wh-what they st-stole b-back... An-and I-I kn-know h-how to g-get in-inside... I-I h-hear all the non-non-cash it-items th-that Ap-ap-apathy h-have st-stolen are in th-th-there... B-but it w-will be h-hard al-alone..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 02:14 AM	Grineck shakes his head at Megan. "Yeah... See toots, I didn't understand a damn word ya just said. Do ya mind runnin' that by me again in a more stable manner?"
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 02:19 AM	Megan wipes some more tears from her face and seems to compose herself. "I-I'm s-sorry, I-I'm just s-so sh-shaken... L-let m-me tr-try th-this.... I know how to get into Apathy's Trophy room... b-better?"
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 02:24 AM	Grineck nods a bit at that. "Right, that's much better dollface. Now, how in tha hells are we supposed ta get in there ta get ta tha damn doors of tha trophy room ta begin wit' though?"
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 02:39 AM	Megan finishes wiping off her face and smiles at Grineck. "Th-the G-g-guildhall has w-windows..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 02:46 AM	"Yeah... yeah it does, but ya see there's a problem wit' dat plan blondie." He stands up, and considering that they're inside a trash can, it's a good gauge of his point. "How the hell am I supposed ta reach the damn windows?!"
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 02:55 AM	Megan stands, slides the lid off the garbage bin, and steps out, wiping herself off. "I-I c-can h-h-help you w-with th-that..." Megan moves her hands through the air in front of her and says something in draconic. She then lifts her arm upwards, and begins to levitate towards one of the Guildhall's windows. ((She cast levitation of Grineck as well, but he has control over how its used))
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 03:00 AM	Grineck smirks as he watches Megan levitate upward and out of the trash can. He then makes a gesture and rises up as well. "Well, ain't you a tricky little blond. I could make use of dat ya know...." He follows her up to the window she heads toward. "Hmm, so, what next toots?"
Megan Olliever 11-28-03, 03:06 AM	Megan floats next to the window, and makes a cutting gesturing. She watches the lock click backwards inside the window, and lift the window open before floating inside. "H-how's th-that?"
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 03:09 AM	Grineck blinks a bit at that and follows after her. "Well, yer really somethin' else toots. Ya can make things rise up and ya can open things wide, looks like ya can be useful after all."
kulideb 11-28-03, 04:15 AM	Things seemed to be at some sort of stand off, so Lushay went back to the trophy room, as ordered. She went over to the portal and examined it, she crouched down on the floor and opened her bag. She had just picked up the trap she wanted when she heard a noise from out side the window. She crept along the wall and had just reached the window when it opened and two figures entered. ~what is it some sort of open night at the guild hall she thought to her self.~ She pulled out her dagger and steped up behind the two figures. "May I help?" she said in a low soft voice.
frost_dagger 11-28-03, 04:02 PM	Moments earlier, a young man garbed in a strange combination of western and oriental clothings walks over in front of the guildhall doors. The lad, in his slightly amused expression, stops and takes a deep breath. He seems oblivious to the two figures floating towards the guildhall windows. " Ah. Its good to be back. Im sure Mister Nugan would--- " The young man pauses, a familiar scent lingers in the air. " Well what do you know? Mister Cut-tooth came to pay me a visit... "
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-28-03, 08:39 PM	(( Just a note, Grineck and Megan are both levitating, so are likely out of the reach of most in the room, depending on the height of the ceilings, which is Nugan's department, not mine. :) Even so, Grineck is small enough that he's more likely to be higher than Megan is. )) Grineck blinks and looks down at the woman who speaks, his eyes widening at the sight of the dagger. He turns and looks at Megan again, speaking in hushed tones. "Just great, we just got in here an' we've already been spotted.... Now what toots?"
frost_dagger 11-28-03, 09:25 PM	Sivex, with a nod of self-assurance, quietly enters the guildhall.
kulideb 11-29-03, 05:02 AM	Lushay looked at the levitating pair. "I some how get the feeling that you two dont belong to this guild."
Megan Olliever 11-29-03, 04:00 PM	Megan covers a small smirk with her hand and floats to the ground in front of Lushay. "W-what g-gives you th-that i-i-idea?"
Hekyl 11-29-03, 04:04 PM	Hekyl takes a step foward, smiling at Ratalgy. "What are you..."
Jekyl 11-29-03, 04:07 PM	Jekyl takes a step foward, smiling at Yanen. "... two waiting for?"
kulideb 11-30-03, 06:14 AM	"Your method of entry." Lushay said to the blond haired woman.
Megan Olliever 11-30-03, 08:58 PM	Megan chuckles nerviously. "O-o-oh... G-good p-point..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 11-30-03, 09:42 PM	Grineck lowers down to hover at a level about even with Megan's shoulders, but remains above the ground a fair distance. He keeps quiet for now, letting the elf do the talking. Then, he spots the new arrival coming through the doors and swallows his nerves down with a gulp. . o O ( Maaaaan, I hope dat isn't who I think it is... 'Cause if it is.... ) Even as he thinks to himself, he reaches up and pats his still new looking purple hat nervously.
kulideb 12-01-03, 04:40 AM	Lushay looked round to see who else had entered. "I take it hes not a friend of yours?"
frost_dagger 12-01-03, 04:32 PM	Sivex's well-trained eyes scans the room. In his mind " What's this? It seems the guildhall was taken over by an invading party. But where are the others? " Watching the people more intently, he recognized one elf to be Tharivious Meliamne. With its weapons drawn, it suddenly occurs to him that the elf's group seems to be engaged in combat with another, a pair of liches. His gaze turns to another pair at the far side of the room, and three more near a portal. Again, Sivex's eyes flashed with recognition. He smirks, whispering " So there you are, Mister Cut-tooth. "
Lucere 12-01-03, 06:37 PM	The elf walks out into the open looking about the room at all the current occupants he thinks to himself that this is very different than what he anticipated but he might to be able to pull a profit out of this yet. Talking to everyone in the room "It seems we have all come here for a purpose. None of us know what the others allegiance is, but I am pushed to think the majority of you are here with no love in your heart for the guild apathy or their fearful leader Nugan. I myself came here on the errand of saving one of my guild members, but alas he was dead before we arrived" to himself <that overgrown brute only showed potential in his morals anyway> again to the group "Though none of us wish to join because sharing the loot is not in our way, it is now clear to me that we must. Apathy outnumbers each of our groups alone by quiet a few. We have been here for some time and they are due to return anytime soon” Lucere flicks his wrist pointing at the new occupant frost_dagger “Look even now they have begun to arrive. Though you have no reason to trust me, and me you, we could end apathy here and quarrel about who gets their treasure after they are gone. But first before we fight over what they have, we must kill all of the apathians” Lucere again points to frost_dagger “Like him!”
Megan Olliever 12-01-03, 11:30 PM	Megan giggles and puts a hand over her mouth as she hears Lucere call Nugan "fearsome leader". While he's still giving his speech, she looks up to Grineck, and whispers. "M-maybe w-we sh-should r-r-run n-now..." Megan turns and tries to run away from Lushay while she's listening to Lucere, sticking near the shadows at the edge of the walls.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-01-03, 11:31 PM	Tharivious simply chuckles at Lucere's speech, shaking his head slightly at most of it. "Right, so you propose that my associates and I simply set aside what these undead wretches have done to myself and my ancestors just to destroy Apathy? As logical as that idea may be to you, it is in fact entirely rediculous. I will have no part in such an alliance, and any who would ally themselves with these two liches and their ilk shall be deemed my enemy by association." He then gives a slight glance and nod to Sives as he spots his prescence in the room. "And we meet again spy, we'll see how easily you escape this time.... After we deal with Yanen that is."
zoe_augustus 12-01-03, 11:34 PM	Yanen looks up with a start as he sees the axe hurling towards the explosive laden child. Grabbing Ratalgy (if allowed), he dives quickly behind a nearby shrubbery and errects a wall of force between them and the child. As soon as the axe makes contact, the child explodes in a torrent of fire, sending broken glass, dust, and pieces of sharpnel everywhere. o.0 (Damn, he just did my job for me..)
Hekyl 12-01-03, 11:36 PM	Hekyl stares, mouth gaping at the explosion. "That can't possibly..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-01-03, 11:38 PM	Grineck gives a nod to Megan. "Yeah... good point toots, let's get the hell outta here." He quickly moves to follow after, also trying to get away while their watcher is distracted, keeping to the wall and staying levitating just above and behind Megan. He blinks and winces as he sees the child being stricken and quickly tries to throw up a Shield spell around himself and Megan as the fires fill the area.
Jekyl 12-01-03, 11:41 PM	Jekyl stares, mouth gaping at the explosion. "...be good."
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-01-03, 11:48 PM	Igyvasfaxavaj utters a loud draconic profanity as he sees the axe heading for the child. He brings his leathery wings in front of him to cover his body and ducks down as he braces himself. . o O ( ~closed to all detection~ Great... Just isn't a day around Yanen without a bomb going off... )
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-01-03, 11:54 PM	Tharivious blinks as he sees the explosion begin. He utters a curse in the shadow language and then quickly prepares to dodge, settling his feet as he tosses himself backwards and rolls with it, aiming to avoid the flames and flying objects. . o O ( ~closed to all means of detection~ Good to see that some things never change.... )
Ratalgy 12-01-03, 11:54 PM	Ratalgy spins around as he sees the bomb go off. "LooksLikeItsGonnaBeAll" Ratalgy runs in a small circle, screaming, and pretending he's on fire. "ForThemAndStuff!" Ratalgy is grabbed by Yanen and pulled into the bush.
Nugan 12-02-03, 12:09 AM	((The following is a post for theGuildhall itsself. I've discussed the bomb's damage with Zoe, and this is what's been decided on.)) A turrent of flame shoots through the Guildhall, floor to cieling, blowing a large hole in the Guildhall roof. The turrent rips outward, smashing windows, and lighting part of the walls aflame. The massive metal Guildhall doors are blown off their hinges and fall to the ground. Shards of glass and wood are sprayed everywhere in the parimeter of the Guildhall. Inside the Guildhall the central table is blown into four pieces and several of the chairs are completely destroyed. A large armchair flies through the guildhall roof, and lands, flaming on the street in front of the builfing. The name "Mystfaad" is seen burning away on its surface. ((Anyone actually inside the Guildhall is in danger of death/serious injury. Especally those near the bomb laden child))
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-02-03, 12:14 AM	Grineck lets out a loud squeel of fear as the blast slams against his magical shield, knocking him back into the wall until the wall gives out and sends him flying outward, probably hauling Megan along with him if she was protected by the shield as well. His hat however, falls to the floor and is burned in the explosion, leaving his bald and now singed scalp visible.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-02-03, 12:20 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj curses once again in Draconic, louder this time as the explosion roars through the guildhall, he mutters and gets out his Dimension Door spell just as a shard of the table sinks into his leg, causing him to wink out of sight just as the flames would have engulfed him.
Megan Olliever 12-02-03, 12:21 AM	Megan gasps and makes some desperate gestures as the explosion pulls her and Grineck through the Guildhall wall. She lands on her feet outside, stares blankly at the Guildhall for a momment, and then falls backwards in a dead faint.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-02-03, 12:31 AM	Tharivious sneers and continues to dart backwards, leaping from the ground and moving directly through the wall of force used as a shield by the liches. He grimaces as he goes over the crouching pair and drops back to the ground, rolling on his shoulders and back to his feet before spinning into a crouch. His cloak is singed and a few holes have burnt through it, but his uncanny agility seems to have carried him to safety with little harm, his swords still in hand, the green hilted one glowing brightly showing that a spell has left it recently. He looks back in the direction of the ruined guildhall, and the liches. "Great.... Just great...."
Hekyl 12-02-03, 12:33 AM	Hekyl spins on his feet and throws himself to the ground. "Oh..."
Jekyl 12-02-03, 12:36 AM	Jekyl spins on his feet and throws himself to the ground. He opens his mouth to spea, but is drowned out by the the sound of the explosion.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-02-03, 12:39 AM	Grineck lands on the ground amid the rubble, several cuts lining his forehead and face. His left hand is singed, showing the wood grain, and still holds his cane, except that the hand is now about two feet away from him. His clothes are burnt into rags, leaving him looking much more like a usual member of his race. He's knocked out cold and has little to know clue what just happened.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-02-03, 12:46 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj reappears a few feet behind Tharivious where he landed, and unfulrs his wings to look upon what has happened. Shaking his head, he mutters another curse in draconic and resteadies his glaive as he eyes the area around him. "Well that's just perfect..."
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-02-03, 12:54 AM	Tharivious smirks annoyedly and glances at Igyvasfaxavaj over his shoulder. "Wasn't it though? Where are Hekyl and Jekyl? I don't see either one of them out here...." He looks around, scanning the rubble closely in search of his missing accomplices, keeping an eye on where the liches have hidden themselves. He shakes his head a bit as he mutters out loud. "I don't like the looks of that at all...."
frost_dagger 12-02-03, 01:15 AM	Just before the child explodes, Sivex finds Lucere's little speech quite amusing. " Apathians? Hearing that from you, being labeled 'weasel' seems almost bearable, sir. " He crouch down to pull out a slender knife from one of his boots, declaring to everyone in the room: " Look here. I hold no loyalty to Apathy or to anyone but myself. I've no desire to defend this halls or involve myself with your petty quarrels. I only want that goblin's hat. With his head, of course. " At the corner of his eye, Sivex sees the child explode. " Guess that's a no, huh? " Being the one closest to the exit, the spy makes a desperate dash outside. Already he feels the heat burning his back, and his kimono/jacket catching flame. With a forward roll, he makes it safely outside the building, with clothes and skin partly burned.
kulideb 12-02-03, 04:55 AM	Lushay began to follow Megan into the shadows when the blast went off. All she could hear was a ringing noise in her ears and pin pricks of light danced before her eyes. She got up a little unsteady on her feet, she could feel some thing trickle down her neck. She wiped at her neck and bought her hand away covered in blood. "What in the realms happened!" Looking at the rubble round her she saw Megan and Grineck, she didnt bother to check to see if they were alive instead she picked up her dagger out of the dust and went back in to see if any of her group were still alive. ((I known she doesnt know Megan and Grinecks names but I have used them so every one knows who I'm talking about!))
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-02-03, 06:31 AM	Steelgrind raises his hands as he sees his axe hit its target. He closes his eyes with pleasure for a moment, but then opens them wide, to enjoy fully the chaos he caused. He chants loudly, unnaturally loudly, enough to overyell a measurable crowd; but the explosion is louder still, and his words cannot be heard by anyone. Those who read minds may still catch the general concept - "I devote it all to You!" The dwarf doesn't seem to make any attempt to protect himself, as the flames leave his skin blackened and bubbling, and the flying debris wounds him again and again. Each pice of the guildhall's blown-up interior that flies near him leaves a mark: breaking a limb, tearing a piece of flesh, drawing blood from one spot or another... it even seems that his head is fatally damaged in more than one place. The dwarf still smiles with pleasure and concentration; not in a masochistic way, but as if his pain served some purpose. He opens his mouth, as his chant is complete, and blood drawn from others in his proximity seems to lnd on his lips, even when the explosion wave would normally carry it in another direction. Shouls one be a really good listener, he could hear unnatural {though not arcane in any form} words comming out of Steelgrind's mouth, making the explosion become more and more powerfull, more and more deadly, to all inclueding himself. ~ Bliss... ~ What! What are you doing?! They would push them away! we could all easily be saved!!! ~ Aye, we could... now bother me not with thy mortal agony... ~ I took all of your punishments! You proissed me a new life! ~ A more suiting opportunity presented itself... watch, dwarf, feel the glory, Steelgrind of Rendergrim... betray thy mortality, willeth thou not? ~ WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?!?! ~ A sacrifice to the ye Death, and an extatic blaze... watch this... ~ Fine, fiend! You sacrifice everyone to this - this - AHHHH! ~ Clinge to thy mortality thou shall, i see... ~ Deamn, you're bloody enjoying this! But you'll fall here too, i will rest in the hells knowing that! ~ Oh nay, thyne is ye only falling this crowd shalt see...i "promiss" thee... As more and more scraps of metal, wood, stone, and whatnot flew, harming the dwaf's body more and more, it began to stratch upwards, as if also torn from the inside. In an uneccessarry {even when compared to the surrounding havoc} minor explosion, the dwarf's smiling reamins fell, torn apart, revealing the true smiler's face: An almost beutyfull on first glance, ferocious feline humanoid. The fur on his back is obsidian-black, with slight glimpses of dark green from the underfur. The underbelly is golden with black underfur, which reaches out making a sunlike pattern on the torso. Front paws are almost entirely dark green. All four appendages much wider at the end than they are at theyr connection to the torso, creating the impression of a piranalike viciousness, on an otherwise not-too large creature. On his heavily-coated neck are prolongued head & face. The teeth are everwite and well seen. He seems to be permanently smiling, since his lips aren't long enough to cover his teeth. The creature looks at everyone with the euphoric expression of saticefied bloodlust. His tail, also much thicker at the end than it is near his spine, its coloring a spiral of black and dark green, moves slowly from side to side, almost touching the two rows of ears on top of his head. His posture ready for the battle that will probably not ocure, he looks around, never moving from where he stands over the bloody remains of his now dead host. "Beauties of the Dark Speech... hast ever a being thought mere words in ye proper tongue could steer such mrrrrrrrvelous destrrrruction..." The discended wfa`mix's yellows eyes catch a piece of some trophy flying in his direction; a swift movement of his tail, and a gaiser bursts from underneath his feet, surrounding him, protecting from the fire and anything not too heavy to be defleted by it. He bends, picks something up from the floor, and begins walking towards the the explosion's epicenter.
frost_dagger 12-02-03, 04:07 PM	Outside, Sivex is seen removing his own leather cap and brushing his thick black hair. " Lord of shadows preserve me. " Putting back on the brown cap, the young man simply stands there for a few minutes just watching the burning guildhouse. Then he notice two unconcious figures, an elven female and a goblin. Gripping the slender knife still in hand, he moves slowly over to Grineck, careful not to alert the woman who seems crazy enough to walk back into the destroyed guildhall.
frost_dagger 12-02-03, 04:07 PM	....
Lucere 12-02-03, 04:12 PM	After gaining everyones attention, Lucere thought to motion Lushay to trigger the trophy room trap, but he got caught in the debri from the blast. Peices of wood and various other material made there way through the elfs body and out to the other side. In a pool of blood the elf colapses on the floor. But the elf does not stay here long. "I did not see that coming" With the cracking of bone and the stretching of flesh, Lucere turns into a hybrid wolf. Still bleeding from the explosion the elf looks for a way out but spots zincaller. "That's new" Lucere shakes his maw and bolts full speed at the door running down any that are in his way.
stratagues_evermore 12-02-03, 05:16 PM	:( Jebbido sat in his corner hiding from all of the people that just seemed to keep arriving. The poor little gnome never saw it comming, though he caught the full blast since he had never moved from his hiding place. There was nothing to be found of the gnome, he was abliterated from the blast. Jebbido now rests in the eternal sleep. ((And that is the last of the little informant))
frost_dagger 12-02-03, 05:27 PM	Sivex, already arm's reach to Grineck, kneels down and starts searching the injured goblin it's purple hat. Finding no luck, he looks around, spotting its elven partner. The spy moves to her, pointing the knife to the woman's exposed throat. In a hushed tone, he tries to wake the woman: " Rise and shine lady. "
An Expendable Gnome 12-02-03, 05:44 PM	One of Dalineous's Gnomes, living in the member's quarters in relative luxury since he was released from captivity. Opens the door to his room, hearing the commotion, and steps into the main room of the Guildhall. "Please... Canna man sleep?" The gnome goes stiff as the bomb goes off in front of him. He caytches a detached table leg through his chest, moans, and falls to the Guildhall floor. "Dalineous forgive me... Crystal Jar... Here I come..." The gnome spits up blood and dies.
Megan Olliever 12-02-03, 05:59 PM	Megan groans and opens her eyes, looking up at Sivex. "What th-I mean-Wh-who are y-y-you?"
frost_dagger 12-02-03, 06:17 PM	Sivex smiles to her sweetly, which is a bit awkward with his knife dangerously near the elven woman's throat. " Hi there. Well met. Are you alright? Im Sivex. How are you? " Sivex chuckles a bit. " Im sorry, but Im just curious. Care to tell what happened back there? Who are you people and why are you here? Please, do take your time. Me and my friend Mister Knife here will wait. "
Megan Olliever 12-02-03, 08:35 PM	Megan shudders as she stares up at Sivex and begins running her blood-stained right hand down her side toward her waste. "I-I'm T-t-terra... I-I'm l-looking f-for s-something th-this g-guild st-stole fr-from my f-family..."
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 12-02-03, 08:49 PM	Bandit perches on his back legs and watches as a burst of flame shoot through the Trophy Room's portal. He chirps once, the name tag on his collar begins to glow, and he vanishes.
zoe_augustus 12-02-03, 10:13 PM	Yanen pushes himself to his feet, dusting the soot off of his now scorched robes. As he stands, he notices that one of his skeletal arms is missing, haviing been blown off as he was diving out the window of the guildhall. He searches around the wreckage near the place where he was lying and finds it, charred and blackened. He slides it underneath his robes and reattaches it. "Man, this reminds me of the Sylvan lands after we redecorated it. Lets go prod the dead bodies with sticks." He thinks for a moment and then chants a short spell incantation. A black portal opens a few feet in the air and a girl of about 12 falls out of it. She bears various scrapes and bruises on her face, and her clothing is ragged and torn. Yanen reaches into his pocket and removes a small leash, which he puts around the girl's neck. He kicks her in the back, sending her down onto her hands and knees. "It wouldn't be a rescue operation without corpse sniffing dogs.."
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-02-03, 10:20 PM	Tharivious smirks as he sees Yanen stand up and hears his words. He casts a glance over his shoulder at Igy and smirks a bit wider before looking back to the lich. "Did you say what I think you just said Yanen? Something about the sylvan lands?" Tharivious spins his swords in hand, which still glow, one with green fire and the other with white light as he awaits a response.
Ratalgy 12-02-03, 10:22 PM	Ratalgy jumps to his feet, throwing up a pile up shoot, and zips around in a small circle, frantacally collecting and reconnecting lost fingers, toes, and ribs. "WowYanenWeDefinatelyBlewThoseGuysUpGoodA ndAll! ItWasLike" Ratalgy makes a sweeping gestures with his arms, grabs his throat, and fall over before hopping back to his feet. He then spins towards were Tharivious and company were. "YouGotTheDogNowWeJustGottaProvideACouple MoreCorpsesAndStuff! GiveThariviousAGoodOldFashionedFamilyRen unionAndAll!"
zoe_augustus 12-02-03, 10:24 PM	Yanen blinks and looks up at Tharivious. He grins for a moment and his hand grips a little tighter around his staff. He tugs on the child's leash and smirks. "Tharivious...hows it goin?. Careful, Milly here is pretty viscious...she hasn't eaten in a few days...and i'm sure elfhide makes good eatin'."
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-02-03, 10:27 PM	A small group of townsfolk, having heard the explosion, begin to gather on the streets of the Guildhall. They look up at the building, gawking.
Hekyl 12-02-03, 10:32 PM	Hekyl pulls himself to his feet, his pale white skin flecked with blood. He spins to face Yanen. "Somehow, I think..."
Jekyl 12-02-03, 10:36 PM	Jekyl pulls himself to his feet, his pale white skin flecked with blood. He spins to face Ratalgy. He opens his mouth and mouthes something, but produces no words. He slides his right hand down to his neck, and it falls on a large sliver of glass lodged in his voice box.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-02-03, 10:51 PM	Igyvasfaxavaj smirks in return to Tharivious as he also watches the liches get up and speak with each other. He sneers at Ratalgy and opens his maw, releasing the blast of white light that he had been holding ready, sending waves of intense heat toward the two liches regardless of the child that is also within the targetted area of his breath weapon.
Ratalgy 12-02-03, 10:57 PM	Ratalgy drops to the ground, and rolls under the beem of light, the sides of his robes being disinigrated by them, He then jumps to his feet and zips at Igy, the damaged back half of his robes flying upward behind him like a cape. "That'sIt! That'sIt! ItsTimeForYouToGetAnother" Ratalgy makes three rapdid stabbing motions. "AndStuff!"
zoe_augustus 12-02-03, 11:02 PM	Yanen dives out of the way of the blast and crumples to the ground. Part of his robe is burned off as he is dodging and it falls, singed, to the ground. The child in the path of the blast is incinerated instantly, welping slightly as the wave of white hot light washes over her body. Yanen looks at the burnt off leash in his hand and then to the place where the child used to be. "Damnit! It took me 3 weeks to train that child to sniff out corpses...i only have a few more like that.." He gets to his feet and glares at Tharivious and Igy, trying to decide how to retalliate.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-02-03, 11:03 PM	More townsfolk begin to gather on the street outside the Guildhall. Some of them, who had suspicions about the building's use, begin to cheer and yell rude words at the burning building. One man can be seen loading a crossbow.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-02-03, 11:08 PM	Igy glares down at Ratalgy and settles into a fighting stance with his glaive held in both hands at the ready. He flexes his wings as he prepares himself and growls. "Try me tiny, I'm not worried about a decayed little shrimp like you."
Hekyl 12-02-03, 11:15 PM	Hekyl turns and winces at the shard in Jekyl's throat. "That can't..."
Jekyl 12-02-03, 11:18 PM	Jekyl turns and winces at Hekyl. He mouthes something, and looks pitifully at his brother.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-02-03, 11:21 PM	Tharivious smirks, being just at the edge of the beam, far enough to not need to dodge the focused energy. He takes a step toward Yanen, his face focused on the lich. "Well, that's too damn bad. Hopefully the poor soul will be better off in the afterlife than in life. Now, let's see if we can send you there, again, shall we?" Tharivious lunges forward and takes a slash with his green hilted longsword, the flames gleaming brighter as the sword moves through the air aimed for the lich's right shoulder.
Ratalgy 12-02-03, 11:28 PM	Ratalgy, spins in a circle in front of Igy, flipping a dagger into each of his hands. "OkOkOkYouLikeAskedForItAndAll!" Ratalgy pauses in front of Igy, pointing to Igy with a dagger and then pointing to himself. "ComeGetSomeAndStuff!"
zoe_augustus 12-02-03, 11:29 PM	Yanen spins his staff in his hands and brings it up, narrowly deflecting the blade. As the flames of the sword get close to his face he recoils and takes a step backward, shaking his head. Quickly he steps forward again and swings his staff down at Tharivious's legs, the tip of it sending off a black spark as it flies through the air.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-02-03, 11:35 PM	The crowd continues to grow larger and more rowdy. More and more weapons begin to appear in the hands of its members: Crude clubs, crowbars, torches, and anything else easily assessable. They begin to move closer and closer to the Guildhall.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-02-03, 11:40 PM	Igyvasfaxavaj smirks at Ratalgy and gives a slight nod. "You want it, you got it." The transformed dragon pulls his arm back with the glaive and sweeps it downward for the gnome's chest and left shoulder in a diagonal slash with his full strength behind it.
Hekyl 12-02-03, 11:41 PM	Hekyl spins away from Jekyl, and looks to Tharivious, seeing the battle with Yanen. "Oh damn, we..." Hekyl begins muttering and gesturing towards Yanen.
Jekyl 12-02-03, 11:45 PM	Jekyl spins away from Hekyl, and looks to Tharivious, seeing the battle with Yanen. He mouthes something, and then begins moving his mouth silently and gesturing towards Yanen.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-02-03, 11:47 PM	Tharivious jumps up as he sees the staff swing, bringing his feet up just in time. The black spark catches his left ankle and he grimaces he feels the pain it causes. Once he lands from the jump and regains his footing, he makes a quick forward stab with the glowing white blade aimed for Yanen's chest while the sword lit with green flames reverses its swing and comes back in toward the lich's side.
Ratalgy 12-02-03, 11:52 PM	Ratalgy quickly ducks the blast, but it catches the right shoulder of his robes, ripping it open from the edge of his arm to his neck, so that his robes only hang on half-way. He looks down and back up again. "WowThatWasAllNiceAndStuffReally,ButNowIt sTimeFor" Ratalgy zips up close to Igy, aimming three rapid stabs at his chest with each hand.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-02-03, 11:57 PM	The crowd grows even larger and more rowdy. They are now throwing rocks, sticks, and whatever else they can find at the Guildhall and its residents, yelling curses at them. A stray rock collides with the window of one of the shops near the Guildhall. Soon several men have jumped through the broken window into the shop, and begin carrying merchandise out. Ina few momments, more store windows are broken, and the crowd is lootng the entire street, and growing into greater and greater states of chaos.
zoe_augustus 12-03-03, 12:00 AM	Yanen tries to avoid the stab to his chest, but fails and gets run through. He is paralyzed for a moment, also taking the slash to his side. He begins twitching as the energy from the sword runs through him, but musters all of his strength and dislodges the weapon from his chest. He stumbles backwards and onto the ground and moans.
Hekyl 12-03-03, 12:01 AM	Hekyl finishes and levels a finger at Yanen, smiling.
Jekyl 12-03-03, 12:04 AM	Jekyl finishes and levels a finger at Yanen, smiling.
Hekyl 12-03-03, 12:06 AM	Hekyl blinks as nothing happens and turns to look at his brother. "But..."
Jekyl 12-03-03, 12:10 AM	Jekyl blinks as nothing happens and turns to look at his brother. He mouthes something and then sighs and hangs his head.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-03-03, 12:11 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj smirks as the first two dagger strikes hit against the mithril breastplate he wears, thinking that his armor will hold. In his confidence, he becomes mistaken as the dagger slips between the plates of metal on the third strike and sinks deep into his chest. With a loud grunt of pain and a low roar of anger, the dragon rears upward, swinging the blunt haft of his glaive at Ratalgy's stomach to knock the gnome back. Even as he aims his strike, his wings begin to widen and his neck and tail start to lengthen and grow thicker. His chest slowly begins to shift into a longer and differently shaped form as he begins his draconic transformation.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 12:22 AM	Tharivious settles back into his fighting stance as he watches Yanen fall back. He smirks and raises his longsword sword up to go for another attack and steps forward, then grimaces in pain as his ankle gives out, the negative energy spark causing him to drop to one knee. He snarls as he focuses on the area around himself and begins to dim the ambient light to half what it was, bringing the shadows to greater prevalance in the surrounding area. He stabs with the green longsword aimed at Yanen's left knee, the green flames giving off no more light than a candle now.
Ratalgy 12-03-03, 12:24 AM	Ratalgy is strick by Igy's strike and sent skidding across the ground. He jumps to his feet as soon as he comes to a stop. "OhNoNoNoNo! YouReallyAreAskingForItNowAndStuff!" Ratalgy begins to zip back towards Igy, but the last bit of thread holding his riobes together snaps in the process, sending them drifting off him to the earth. He stops mid-run and looks down. "WellThat'sNotGoodAndAll. I'llBeBackRightAway!" Ratalgy turns on his heal and zips into the burning Guildhall.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-03-03, 12:30 AM	The crowd continues to riot, smashing into store and looting them, while some of their member continues to advance on the Guildhall. The sound of heavy horseshoe tread can be heard approaching. The crowd begins to move aside and cede some ground as a line of carriages bearing official Wracod government insignia force their way foward towards the center of the riot.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-03-03, 12:32 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj's transformation continues, shifting to his massive size until he is nearly sixty feet in overall length and standing fully twelve feet tall at the shoulders. His wings stretch high into the air and his tail lashes back and forth behind him as he lets out a draconic roar. He blinks as the gnome lich's robes fall off and looks as if about to be sick. . o O ( ~closed to all means of detection~ Well that's something I didn't want to see.... ever.... )
zoe_augustus 12-03-03, 12:33 AM	Yanen rolls to the side with a groan of pain and out of the way of the sword. He begins to chant and a small ball of light green colored gelatin forms in his hand. He hurls the ball in Tharivious' direction and watches as it breaks apart into several smaller pieces of gelatin. The pieces begin to mold themselves into the shape of several small humanoids. Small bones start forming inside of the masses of goo, and they slowly plod towards Tharivious. As they draw closer, they begin coughing and spitting a gray colored substance at him, aiming it at his face. Some of it lands on the ground below and blades of grass underneath it start withering and crumpling inward.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-03-03, 12:34 AM	Mr. Wracod watches the roit through the windows of his carriage as it pulls up in front odf the Guildhall and comes to a stop. He jumps from his seat and throws the carriage door open, glaring at the crowd. "What in the sixty-nineth layer of hell is going on here?!"
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 12:42 AM	Tharivious blinks as he looks at the humanoids that form and begin spitting at him. He brings his cloak up to shield his face, but is caught by the projectile fluids all the same across his exposed arms and his covered legs. He grimaces as he feels the withering effects begin, feeling his strength in his arms begin to fail. He quickly closes his eyes and focuses, disappearing from vision as he becomes invisible and rolls away using his leg strength.
Ratalgy 12-03-03, 12:42 AM	Ratalgy zips out of the Guildhall, wearing new robes that appear to be made of a crude combination of cloth and the skin of what might be a halfling or gnome, the insignia of the Fuastinian Empire is visible on a piece of cloth near the robe's hem. He also wears a hat the appears to be made of armchair felt and the wall of a small humanoid's liver. "AhAhAh! ThereWeGo! MuchMuchMuchBetterAndStuff!'
Hekyl 12-03-03, 12:47 AM	Hekyl turns from his brother to Tharivious and Yanen's fight. As he sees Tharivious disappear, henods to Jekyl, draws his dagger and rushes at Yanen.
Jekyl 12-03-03, 12:49 AM	Jekyl turns from his brother to Tharivious and Yanen's fight. As he sees Tharivious disappear, henods to Hekyl, draws his dagger and rushes at Yanen
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-03-03, 12:53 AM	Most of the crowd continues loooting as if they didn't notice their prime minister or his carriages. A few stop to gawk and yell insults at him, while others begin to move towards the carriages and rock them. One lifts a rock in his hand and tosses it at Mr. Wracod.
zoe_augustus 12-03-03, 12:53 AM	Yanen opens his robes near the region of his stomach and begins fiddling with something. He withdraws a vial of black powder from his pocket and pous it into the space inside his robes. A cloud of steam starts to rise from the opening a loud fizzing noise can be heard. He tears away part of his robes near his navel area revealing a large black box lodged in the front of his stomach. Withdrawing a key from his pocket, he slides it into the box and opens it up. A set of several vials of swirling bright orange liquid can be seen, along with a lengthy black cord that seems to wind into one of the vials. Throwing the cord to the side, Yanen chants a brief incantation and a spark jumps from his finger and ignites one end of it. He smirks as the cord starts burning away.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-03-03, 12:55 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj mutters in a blend of draconic and penumbral words and raises his right forelimb, gesturing with his talons and pointing at Yanen and his smaller troops. A glowing bead of red light flies from his outstretched hand, erupting in a low roar into a sphere of red and orange flames. The dragon takes a few steps as he measures the situation around him, sneering at Ratalgy as he sees the gnome lich's new attire.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-03-03, 01:01 AM	Mr. Wracod ducks the rocks, gives the crowd a stern look. "Ah, the hell with all of you. Move!" Mr. Wracod turns as he speaks that last word, climbs back into his carriage, and closes and locks its door.
zoe_augustus 12-03-03, 01:02 AM	The flaming sphere catches Yanen off guard and he has little time to react to it (not that he would anyway). As soon as it reaches him, the flames leap onto his body covering it. The components inside the black case start emmitting a black smoke as they are heated and Yanen writhes around in pain.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-03-03, 01:04 AM	As Mr. Wracod speaks, the doors to the other carriages burst open, and city gaurds, armed with shields and billy clubs rush from them into the crowd.
A Cracker 12-03-03, 01:09 AM	What looks like a large salted cracker with arms, legs, and a face, wearing a city gaurd uniform, jumps out one of the carriages. He dspins his billly club in his hand for a momment, and then begins savagely attacking rioters.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 01:14 AM	Tharivious, still invisible, blinks as he sees the second bomb carried by Yanen revealed and then winces as he sees the fireball heading towards it. He mutters several curses as he kneels and rests his swords against his withering arm, using the one that remained beneath the cloak to search through a pouch at his side. He draws out a small vial filled with a light blue liquid. He unstoppers it with his thumb and drinks the contents down with a grimace as he feels the potion beginning to take effect, remaining kneeled down and hoping that he has enough time before that bomb is ignited.
Ratalgy 12-03-03, 01:16 AM	Ratalgy jumps from foot to foot as he sees the metal box. "OhYayYayYay! AndThere'sEvenSpectatorsForTheMovieTonig ht! I'llJustMakEsureThatAllGoesOffAndStuff!" Ratalgy makes a few rapid gestures, and points to Yanen, casting a special wall of force spell which auto-dispells on pressure from the inside. ((I'm sure Yanen & Ratalgy have prepared one of those by now. ;) ))
Hekyl 12-03-03, 01:20 AM	Hekyl swings at Yanen from the right wiith the dagger in his left hand, only to have it bounce off the wall. "That's complete..."
Jekyl 12-03-03, 01:22 AM	Jekyl swings at Yanen from the left with the dagger in his right hand, only to have it bounce off the wall. He mouthes a word.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-03-03, 01:23 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj's eyes go wide as he sees the bomb after his casting of the spell. He snarls in anger at himself for acting so rashly and recoils from the liches, moving backward a few steps and snarling as he sees Ratalgy casting a spell. He points at Ratalgy and utters a few arcane words, sending forth a magic missile spell carrying five small bursts of force with it aimed for the gnome lich and snarls as he watches the now shielded Yanen.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-03-03, 01:26 AM	Part of the crowd begins to flee as the city gaurd movbe into them, but others move foward to face the gaurds, attacking them with their crude weapons.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-03-03, 01:30 AM	The gaurd move through the crowd, deflecting rocks and sticks off their shields, and swinging their billy clubs at the rioters.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-03-03, 01:34 AM	Mr. Wracod sighs as his carriage shakes from side to side, takes out a fresh cigar, lights it, and takes a drag. "That damn boy is as dead as my political career after this..."
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 01:36 AM	Tharivious flexes his arm as he feels the potion's effects course through his body and the muscles reform at their normal strength and he becomes visible again. He sheathes the white bladed sword at his left, causing it to shrink back down to the length of a short sword. He moves his right hand to the black hilted sword at his left and focuses on it, calling upon his ancestors and conjuring up a wall of force between the civilians and the combatants, hoping to minimalize any casualties from the impending explosion. He then turns to face the liches, muttering to himself. "Let's hope that holds...."
Hekyl 12-03-03, 01:42 AM	Hekyl gives his brother a panicked look. "Maybe we should..."
Jekyl 12-03-03, 01:45 AM	Jekyl gives his brother a panicked look. He mouthes a word with only one syllable.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-03-03, 01:46 AM	Grineck blinks awake as he hears the sounds of the rioting going on around the former guildhall. He looks around an spots the liches fighting against the elf and the dragon and shakes his head. "No.... no.... no... not good... not good at all... I gotta get tha hells outta here...." He reaches into his burnt pockets and searches for something, but his hands goes right through the fabric. He utters a loud curse and gets up, staggering on his feet as he moves back toward the ruins. . o O ( I gotta find that thing.... It's my only way outta here... )
Ratalgy 12-03-03, 01:50 AM	Ratalgy is struck by all of the magic missles and convulses as they burn holes through his robes and his flesh. He looks down at his robes then up at Igy. "LookWhatYouDid! LoookWhatYouDid! I'mGonnaNeedToGetPatchesAndStuffNow! YouLookLikeGoodMaterialToMeAndAll..." Ratalgy flips his dagger back into his hand, and zips at Igy.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-03-03, 01:56 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj snarls and spreads his wings, letting loose several powerful flaps that cause strong gusts of wind and pick up bits of debris and hurling them toward the oncoming Ratalgy. in a storm of splinters and glass shards mixed with the usual dust cloud.
Hekyl 12-03-03, 01:59 AM	Hekyl spins and his heels and jets through the rumble till he reaches a relatively empty area in front of the Guildhall. He then begins muttering.
Jekyl 12-03-03, 02:01 AM	Jekyl spins and his heels and jets through the rumble till he reaches a relatively empty area in front of the Guildhall. He then begins gesturing.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-03-03, 02:03 AM	Grineck stumbles into the ruins and begins to sift through the shards of wood and glass where the wall he struck once was. He drops to his knees as the blood loss and pain gets a tighter hold on his small form and he knocks a wooden block out of the way. His eyes widen as he spots the small ring that was dropped and picks it up, moving to put it on. "I found it, I found it! It's mine!"
Ratalgy 12-03-03, 02:05 AM	Ratalgy is riddled with shards of glass and wood as he fights the wind, moving towards Igy. "YouCallThatPiercingMeAndStuff? I'llMakeYouADealAndAll. EitherIShowYouHowToPierceSomeoneOrYanenD oes!"
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 02:14 AM	Tharivious eyes Ratalgy and quickly sheathes both of his swords, grabbing the longbow that appears to be made of solidified strands of shadows woven together. He pulls a black arrow and sets it on the bowstring, pulling it back and letting it fly, aimed straight for the lich's head and throat.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-03-03, 02:24 AM	Grineck smiles as he pats the ring on his finger and focuses, closing his eyes. He blinks as it does nothing. "Huh?.... Oh, right... the command word... Nathraak." He blinks again as nothing happens once more. "Damn, wrong word... Come on, come on.... Nauthraak." He growls low as that too fails.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-03-03, 02:32 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj smirks down at Ratalgy and his offer. "No, I don't call that piercing, I call that a duststorm in a light breeze. I'm not much for piercing honestly, I'm more favorable in concern to eradicating your kind." With that he mutters a few arcane words, setting a spell on a trigger and waiting for the lich's reaction to the speeding arrow launched by Tharivious.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-03-03, 02:38 AM	Grineck frowns in frustration as he continues to tap the ring with his stump of a wrist. "Awwww... come on... work damnit.... I know the word started with N, come on... Nethraak... Aww.... maaaaaaan...."
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 03:03 AM	Tharivious turns his attentions immediately back to Yanen after letting his arrow fly, his mind racing a mile a minute as he works on a silent plan to difuse this problem. He shakes his head as he rifles through a few ideas, then smirks as he thinks of something. He flips open a small tube attached to his belt and pulls out a scroll, beginning to mutter out loud as he blinks out of sight and reappers next to the wall of force surrounding the lich, a few motes of blue energy surrounding him as the spell begins and he sets a hand on the wall itself, grinning at the the undead hobgoblin as he finishes the words from the scroll.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-03-03, 03:09 AM	Grineck sighs in annoyance that he forgot the word. "Come one, come on... I gotta get outta here.... Wait, I know what it was. It was Nathrok." He looks at the ring and growls in frustration as even that word seems to fail. "Great, well, that's it.... I'm gonna die... So long cruel world!"
Barra'rrorrok 12-03-03, 03:17 AM	Barra'rrorrok continues to search the streets of Wracod for the wandering turkey. He growls as he comes upon the rioting citizens and the opposing city guards and backs into an alleyway somewhat far from the former guildhall, keeping an eye on the commotion around him.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-03-03, 03:37 AM	Tharivious smirks at Yanen from the outside of the wall of force and looks the lich in the eye sockets. "You look a little thirsty Yanen, here, have something to drink. It's on me." He slides his hand through the wall using his extraordinary abilities to full advantage and lets the spell loose, summoning a large water elemental to the interior of the enclosed wall. He quickly retracts his hand, leaving it within the enclosure for little more than a second and smirks as the elemental begins to flail its arms, hurling water around inside and toward the lich.
kulideb 12-03-03, 04:10 AM	Lushay could'nt find any of her group, shaking her head at the destruction she left. "Now I know why I work alone." she muttered to herself as she walked down the street away from the Guild hall.
frost_dagger 12-03-03, 03:35 PM	Sivex, after watching the angry mob, city guards, and all the fighting going on for a brief moment, lets out a low whistle. He turns back his attention to the elven woman, lowering the slender knife away from her neck. " Right. Well whatever it is, it probably turned into dust by now. Good luck finding it. Now if you'll excuse me... " The young man rises, shouting to Grineck: " Another time, Mister Cut-tooth sir. " Sivex even tips his leather cap as a sign of greeting, or perhaps of mockery for the goblin's loss of its own hat. With that, the spy begins to follow his new target, the woman he'd noticed earlier.
Lucere 12-03-03, 04:02 PM	Lucere, after barreling outside quickly changed form. He then hid in the shadows tell the appearence of the mob using that mass of people as his cover to escape.
tristan 12-03-03, 05:01 PM	Behind the angry mob stands a group of four very large men. Each of the men carry large spiked maces with a hilt long enough to be used with two hands. Each of the men have a snake emblem in the center of their chest. These men are exactly what they seem to be; bodyguards. In the center of the men is a man in his later year with short cropped grey hair. He is short and almost built like a dwarf, but he is human. The staff that the man carries is very ornate, curving up into a snake. This man is covered in jewels, seemingly wanting to show off his wealth. In a ver deep vioce the man says to his body guards "That's his symbol" he points to the emblum on the carriages. "We will wait tell the mob desperses then we will talk to him"
N.Y. Wench 12-03-03, 05:33 PM	When the explosion went off Eera was still too concentrated on the mirror and her divinations to even notice so she was cought unprepared. The big boom's fire and flying pieces of stuff didn't reach her but the shockwave knocked her down. She lay on the floor bwtuin the mirror and the far wall during all of the battle.
N.Y. Wench 12-03-03, 05:33 PM	When the explosion went off Eera was still too concentrated on the mirror and her divinations to even notice so she was cought unprepared.

Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-03-03, 05:43 PM	Thrtough the magical and phisical battling of others, the discended mixan spy walked towards the blown-out doors. Suddenly he stopped, as something exploded just infront of him, and a limb flew by. {Fmm, i have forgotten my sweet treat behind the mirror...} He turns around, and walks through the explosions, through the battling people, and those who either battle no more, or never did, and now lye down, losing blood from the debris. He steps into the Scrying room, never making a movement that would mark him as being in a rush or hurrying anywhere; He enjoies watching every moment of the major destruction, of which he made a sacrifice to his three different gods... he asked for nothing in return for the sacrifice, just the pleasure to walk unharmed through the chaos. He picks up the little girl from the scrying room's floor, and sits her on his shoulders, laying his tail on her own shoulder to keep her from falling. Turning around, he walks back. Just before exiting the guildhouse, he attaches two steels to his feet, and takes a large wooden maul into his hands. Once seen appearing on the treshold, Zincaller roars. Some of the poeple begin running away in unexplained fear, and he proceeds, clearing his way - through both the looting scavangers and Warcod's milicia - with large swings of the maul. On some point, when he thinks Eera on his shoulders woke up, he instantly drops from the steels, hides the maul, and darts down the street, now concealing his presence, instead of boldening it as he did untill now. Eventually he leves the crowded area, and uppon seeing a flash of familiar robes, begins following robed person... soon Lushay is able to hear the sound of soft paws walking just behind her; Zincaller stops whenever she does, and shares any shadow she takes sanctuary in.
kulideb 12-03-03, 05:48 PM	Lushay could feel the hairs rise on the back of her neck, she stopped walking and looked round. Nothing moved in the shadows. She carried on but still had a feeling of being followed.
frost_dagger 12-04-03, 05:02 PM	Another following her is Apathy's guild messenger, Sivex Aluvium. The lad however, is able to follow her openly without worrying detection. A simple but effective illusion from his magical ring provided him a convenient disguise. Cowled and garbed in brown clerical robes, the young man appears older by at least a decade. Walking barefooted, he continues following Lushay with casual grace, keeping just enough distance to avoid suspicion. Occasionally he'll stop and nod in acknowledgement to a few that greets him with respect, apparently mistaking him for a priest of their favored deity.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-04-03, 05:14 PM	Several people in the crowd stop to bow to Sivex as he passes, earning a severe police beating for their shows of respect.
zoe_augustus 12-05-03, 12:22 AM	The flames that had enveloped Yanen disperse as the elemental starts filling the closed in box of force with water. Yanen frowns a bit and begins to gurgle as his head goes underneath the water. Still stunned from his injuries, he lies in a heap on the ground. His head is raised slightly and he seems to be mouthing profanities at Tharivious and giving him angry looks. "[Censored by violin music.]"
Megan Olliever 12-05-03, 01:30 AM	Megan waits until Sivex is out of sight before struggling to her her. She spits some blood stained dirt from her mouth, and wipes some of the ash from her face. "Damn it... I was this freaking close..." Megan looks from Yanen to Tharivious to the rioting mob and then to the burning guildhall, a smile creeping across her face. "Or maybe..." Megan smiles wider and skips into the still burning Guildhall, passing near Grineck on the way.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-05-03, 01:44 AM	The crowd is pushed backwards by the better equiped gaurds, with many of its members becoming trapped between the advancing police baricade and Tharivious's magical barrier.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-05-03, 01:51 AM	The Wracod Gaurd continue to push foward against the rioters, knocking many to their knees before brutaizing them with their billy clubs. Other officers grab people from the crowd and drag them across the cobblestone street before tossing them inside the gaurd's carriages.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-05-03, 01:51 AM	Grineck blinks as he spots Megan walking by and smirks a bit. "Hey toots, wait up." The goblin staggers to his feet and follows after her, stumbling a bit since he's lost his cane and his right foot seems to slow him down.
Megan Olliever 12-05-03, 01:57 AM	Megan looks over her shoulder as she sees Grineck and tries to hide a look of disgust with her hand. "Son of-O-ohh... I-its y-y-you... ag-again...Uh... F-follow m-me... I guess..." Megan spins around again and begins walking towards the Trophy Room portal, holding a hand over her mouth to block the smoke, and dodging pieces of burning wreckage.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-05-03, 02:00 AM	Tharivious smirks and shakes his head at Yanen. "I can't hear you, maybe there's a little bit of water in my ears. Oh wait, that's water in your throat, my mistake." Tharivious chuckles a bit at that and turns to see the ensuing riot and the continuing battle between Igy and Ratalgy, now drawing forth the pair of ancestral longswords once more.
Hekyl 12-05-03, 02:04 AM	Hekyl smiles in relief as a spot of grey-blue light appears in front of him, and begins to expand until it's a cirle with the diametyer just over six feet. He turns to Jekyl and nods.
Jekyl 12-05-03, 02:09 AM	Jekyl smiles in relief as a spot of grey-blue light appears in front of him, and begins to expand until it's a cirle with the diametyer just over six feet. He turns to Hekyl and nods.
Ratalgy 12-05-03, 02:16 AM	Ratalgy continues trying to fight the qwind and glass shard to make it to Igy. "YouAreReallYAskingFor" Ratalgy makes three lslightly-less-rapid-than-usual stabbing motions. "AndStuff! AhAhAh! That'sItAndAll! TimeToDoWhatIReallyGottaDo...MYDutyAndAl l!" Ratalgy stops, looks Igy in the face, gives him a crisp military salute, and pulls out a small bottle of lamp oil and a lighter. He douses himself in oil, turns, dispells Yanen's barrier with a gesture, lights himself aflame, and zips towards his master.
Grineck Cut-tooth 12-05-03, 02:16 AM	Grineck nods and begins to follow Megan toward the portal to the trophy room, then blinks as the ring starts to glow green black. "Awww crap... Here I go... See ya 'round toots..." With a small flash of the green black light, the goblin disappears, his prosthetic hand and cane vanishing from where they lay as well.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-05-03, 02:30 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj snarls as he sees the gnome darting off and lets loose the spell. A ray of pure white energy launches forth from his hand, aimed at the center of the lich's back, a Searing Light spell. "Not so fast."
Megan Olliever 12-05-03, 02:30 AM	Megan shoots a looks back at Grineck as he disappears. "Finally..." Megan turns her attentionfoward again, tip-toeing around flaming wreckage to the still open Trophy Room portal. She gives a quick look behind her, closes her eyes, and hops inside.
Ratalgy 12-05-03, 02:39 AM	Ratalgy wince as he takes the beem directly in his back. "NiceTryAndAllButYourStillDeadAndStuff! ByeByeBye!" Ratalgy takes a stumbling jump-step foward, and throws himself on the ground, sliding on his stomach into Yanen ((if allowed)).
Hekyl 12-05-03, 02:50 AM	Hekyl looks from the portal to Yanen andRatalgy and then to Tharivious. "Sir, maybe its time..."
Jekyl 12-05-03, 02:55 AM	Hekyl looks from the portal to Yanen and Ratalgy and then to Tharivious. He begins to mouthe something, but then stops, shakes his head in frustration, and points from Tharivious to the portal and back again.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-05-03, 03:25 AM	Tharivious nods to Hekyl in agreement and looks at Jekyl, shaking his head slightly. "All me to finish that for you. 'To get the hell out of here' right?" Tharivious makes a gesture to signal for Igy to leave as well, and a portal of rippling shadows opens behind him. He takes a step back toward the gateway and looks to the mages. "Get moving, hopefully the civilians will be safe enough with that wall."
Hekyl 12-05-03, 03:30 AM	Hekyl returns Tharivious's nod, turns, and steps into the portal.
Jekyl 12-05-03, 03:33 AM	Jekyl returns Tharivious's nod, turns, and steps into the portal.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-05-03, 03:41 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj notes the signal and closes his eyes, the air around him growing extgremely dark as he slips into the shadows, the space he filled becoming normal and empty once more as he shadow walks off the plane.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-05-03, 03:50 AM	Tharivious nods as his accomplices leave the scene. He takes a moment to glance at the wall he placed between the blast zone and the people of the city and steps back through his portal. He reappears in an alleyway within the city limits and looks out at the rioting townfolk, then down at Barra'rrorrok. He speaks to his pet in the penumbral tongue. "It's time to go Barra'rrorrok, it is no longer safe here."
Barra'rrorrok 12-05-03, 04:01 AM	Barra'rrorrok's ears perk up when he hears his master's voice. He turns to face Tharivious and barks once as a sign of acknowledgement to the command. The shadow mastiff walks into the portal and disappears.
kulideb 12-05-03, 04:04 AM	Lushay stopped again and spun round Dagger drawn, there were people milling around but none seemed focused on her. May be the blast hit me harder than I thought she muttered to her self. Her gaze swept over a cleric of middle years, she had no time for clerics and didnt want this one to think her look was an invitation for him to start to preach. She slipped her dagger up her sleeve and carried on her way.
Xerneth Karjen 12-05-03, 04:08 AM	A cloaked being of just below average height pushes his way through the crowd, dodging around the city guard and the rioting townspeople as he makes his way toward the remnants of the guildhall. He sneers as he sees the ruined building and growls when he comes upon the wall of force in his way. He mutters and makes a swift gesture, his gloved hand glowing green as he touches the wall, then smirks as his spell leaves his fingertips. He walks forth to the ruins, past the fallen liches and directly into the destroyed guildhall, toward the trophy portal.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-05-03, 04:15 AM	Tharivious smiles as he leads Barra'rrorrok through the portal and steps through after him, speaking once more in the penumbral tongue. "You did well today, hopefully you'll have another chance to hunt soon." He leaves, closing the portal behind him, unaware of his now disintegrated barrier and the now vulnerable cityfolk.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-05-03, 01:26 PM	{OOC: Frost Dagger, how exactly does Syvex's illusion works? Will Zincaller see him as a priest of one of the deities he worships, or as one of some deity commonly worshipped in this area by most people?}
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-05-03, 05:00 PM	As the barrier drops, the now frantic crowds flees backwards into the Guildhall lawn, trying to escape the gaurds. Some of them grab flaming boards and other pieces of wrecage and try to use them to force the soldiers backwards.
frost_dagger 12-05-03, 05:09 PM	Originally posted by Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai {OOC: Frost Dagger, how exactly does Syvex's illusion works? Will Zincaller see him as a priest of one of the deities he worships, or as one of some deity commonly worshipped in this area by most people?} ((The illusion is really just a minor one, like a Change Self spell. Zincaller and everyone else should see him as described before. Also, it is quite possible to see through the disguise to those who can see through illusions, or recognize the glamer as an illusion if they interact with it such as by touching him and having that not match what they see)) Sivex glances back at Lushay after giving quick gestures of blessing to a group of peasants. Watching her leave, a plan suddenly comes to his mind. Increasing his pace, the 'cowled priest' moves to approach the woman. Speaking in a low, deep tone: " You don't look well, child. Do you require healing? "
Wracod City Gaurd 12-05-03, 05:15 PM	The gaurds advance as the peasent retreat, joining them in the Guildhall's front lawn. They continue to club the panicked rioters, capture them, and drag them into the carriages.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-05-03, 05:32 PM	Zincaller grows annoied by the cleric's presence, and pulls out a small needle with a tiny bag of poison attached to it. He uses these as amunition for his blowgun, normally, but when he feels like striking someone from close distance without being revealed, and doesn't want to use his claws or teeth to just open the victim's veins, he enjoies just stabbing people with them. He stretches behind Sivex, about to drown the needle in the soft spot betuin his neck and left shoulder, but then he hears him speaking to Lushay, and reconsiders. He draws back into the shadows, looks at the needle with pitty, but doesn't put it back just yet. Sivex' addressing Lushay saved him from Zincaller's desire to remove him as he would normally do, still thinking him for nothing but a priest for the commoners, but he still hopes some other commoner would pass by and serve a sheath for his needle. He always saw a sign of bad luck in returnng amunition to the quiver. Meanwhile he just follows them, waiting to hear Lushay's responce.
frost_dagger 12-05-03, 06:23 PM	Sivex brings down the robes' cowl and gives Lushay a faint smile. " The suffering god wishes to relieve your pain, child. Let me aid you. "
N.Y. Wench 12-05-03, 07:05 PM	Eera wakes up on Zincaller's shoulders and glances around nervously, not yet realizing where she is. Then she looks finally down, and sees what she was riding! (she has never seen Zinc in his real body..) She suppresses a scream and jumps away starting to climb a nearby crude wall but being downright panicked she falls off it just in front of Lushay's face! The girl steadies her breath and looks up, siting, kinda looking through Lushay and into the really alien thing standing behind her (even though Zinc prolly hides now she can prolly still see him cause she was on his shoulders and kept him in sight as she tried to run away). There's fear in her eyes while she looks somewhere betuin the faces of Lushay and the illmateristic (right?) priest into the wierdly familiar yellow eyes
thasis 12-05-03, 07:21 PM	what the hells going on, I want to join your game but i dont know whats happening.
Nugan 12-05-03, 09:23 PM	(( Thasis> We'd be happy to have you aboard. :) If you want to know about the Guidhall or its location, take a look at the first post of this thread. If you want to Know about Apathy in general, you can find more on our website, here: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/fogofpking/apathy/hall.html (Note: You don't have to be a Guild member to post on the thread. As for what's going on in the thread right now, I recommend you read the last ten pages or so, but, for the Reader's Digest version: Nugan and most of the other actual Guildmembers are off on a job in another thread, leaving the guildhall ungaurded. Meanwhile, the members of the Guild of Vieled (recent Apathy competitors) moved into the Guildhall looking for a missing member (who Nugan didn't kidnap or order to be kidnapped, but turned up dead in the Guildhall none-the-less), and started scouting it out in the Guild's absense. Later Tharivious and his people (Hekyl, Jekyl, Igy) showed up to settle a long time score with Nugan, only to find him and the other guildmembers gone. However, they did find Yanen and Ratalgy, two insane liches who are responsible for a number of offenses, including the murder of Tharivious's family. While they faced off, Yanen set off a bomb inside the Guildhall, causes severe damage, and attracting an ever growing crowd of spectators whoeventually turned into a rioting mob, which drew the attention of the local city gaurd. Anyway, long story short(er), the Guildhall's now on fire, surrounded by mob warfare, and Yanen has another bomb. Any other questions can be posted on this thread or emailed/Pmed to me. Hope you decide to join. :) ))
frost_dagger 12-06-03, 03:03 AM	((Yes. Sivex was referring to Ilmater, although one might recognize his clothes are not the same with the deity's worshippers.)) Sivex blinks, startled by the girl's sudden appearance. He turns to Lushay. " This child seems troubled. Tell me, do you know her? "
kulideb 12-06-03, 06:08 AM	Lushay was just about to tell the cleric what he could with his healing hands, when a small figure falls in front of her. At first she was just going to walk off and let the cleric look after the girl, but the look of fright across the childs face made her stop. She knew that Eera didnt scare easily. "Err..yes I know her, we became lost in the crowds." she said to the cleric. She then crouched down and looked at the girl. "Eera?" the girls gaze seemed to go through Lushay, the rouge looked around, to see if she can see what Eera had seen. "I'm sure we will be fine...sir. Just need to get home." Lushay said to the Cleric, while still looking round.
frost_dagger 12-06-03, 03:43 PM	Sivex nods. " Indeed. Allow me to guide you home. It is the least I can do for you and the child. " Sivex puts back on the robes' cowl. " Please consider. It is safer to travel in numbers, and men of evil intent will certainly take advantage of the sudden confusion. My deity shall protect us from them. "
kulideb 12-06-03, 06:01 PM	Lushay smiled through gritted teeth. "Thank you I'm sure we will be fine." She reached out a hand to Eera, although she wasnt sure where they would go to, exept back to their own guild house.
frost_dagger 12-06-03, 06:20 PM	Sivex shakes his head. " No, I insist. The high clerics will surely expell me if they found out that I've refused to help two women in need of assistance. " He glances around nervously. " Let us make haste. Even now I feel the corruption spreading throughout the city. "
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-06-03, 11:45 PM	{OOC: whaaaaa? Nugan, did you just say Yanen has a new bomb? I probably missed it, could you quote the post where itr says he has a second bomb?} As Zincaller listens to the conversation, supressing the impulse to respond in any sharp way to Eera's scared action, his supperb wisdom catches something wrong about the priest. ~ He speaks not as a pawn of ye divine targetpractice weekling he claims to beslave to... this fleshheart is no minion to Illmatar, nor to any of his "champions of good"... helm's word is clear through his speech... though why would a helmite lie?... be they capable of lies, perhaps praying on theyr knights would be less... saticefying... ah, a divine seeker, i must asume... ofcourse... twice the pleasurrrre... Zincaller streightens up, and folds his hands, calmly, now standing completely unconcealed behind the one he considers to be a divine seeker of the most rediculous of all gods. By both Lushay and Eera, whom he now faces, he can be easily seen: a ferally looking {if it wasn't for the still - though vicious - inteligence in his eyes} wfa`mix, with black and dark green fur, a massive tail, and a pertruding lower muzzle. he licks his lips, looking at the three of them, and his breath partially shifts into a soft, silent growl, but he does not speak up.
kulideb 12-07-03, 07:27 AM	She looked up to the cleric. "I said we are fin..." Now she could see what had scared Eera so much, she allowed a dagger to slip from her sleeve in to her hand. Her mind raced she had never seen such a creature before, she dared to look into it eyes and was surprised to see a look of inteligence there. As it gave a soft growl her hand tightend on her dagger, she really needed the girl to be with her if this thing should attack. "Eera, snap out of it." She hissed at the girl by her side.
frost_dagger 12-07-03, 04:27 PM	Sivex curses silently. Instinct warned him earlier that there is someone... or something else lurking around, and the feral sound of a growl behind him justified his suspicion. The spy holds the urge to draw weapon and fight, though. Fighting will probably destroy the illusion, and with it is his chance of learning more about the people who attacked the Apathy guildhouse. He isnt the type that engages in battle without sufficient knowledge of his enemies, and he will surely be outnumbered. The young man's best option for now it seems, is to keep the facade. Pretending to ignore the faint growling from the back, the human spy holds up his hands to Lushay in defeat. " Very well. There is little need for hostility child, so I suggest you take away that little knife of yours. "
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-07-03, 05:59 PM	Zincaller winks his right eye, and speaks; his voice is deep, with a slightly growling background from his throat, and is tempting in the same way as Mephistofelis' voice was probably tempting for Faustus after the homunculus was "born". His intonation is thoughtfull, and he speaks slowly, emphasizing slightly parts some of most sentances. It generally creates an impression that in his every word, the discended wfa`mix subtly means more than he says, and expects atleast one f the persons present to catch his meaning. "Aye, snap out of it... both... our warm and causy guildhouse awaits... along with gifts hidden or left within... this precious, bow-deserving clerist shall...ofcourse... come with us..." Zincaller grins, and then turns his gaze to Sivex. "Willeth thou naught, my warded seeker?" He motions with his tail, and black smoke from the burning guildhall is instantly swept towards him, as if he was syphoning it. Earth around the four of them cracks releasing a gaiser surrounding them from every direction. The smoke merges with it, making all black, and when finally the mistlike sustance fades away, they all find themselves standing on the streets of Juxtaposition. To those passing by, or otherwise viewing it from the outside, the combined black cloud appeared to dart forth in a streight line, with greate speed, blowing objects in its path away. It faded at some point, leaving a monolitic spire pertruding high from the ground at the spot where it was conjured. Zincaller makes a "gentlemenic" motion, directed at the three of them, gesturing them to walk before him, and nodding vaguely in the direction where the Guildhouse of the Veiled stands, though it isn't seen from theyr current position. "Thy stare is flattering, my succubal child... or doth thou fail recognize me? Now, lead our common way... my embracable Lady Lushay... i remember few of these streets, and shall... with preferance follow thee..."
frost_dagger 12-07-03, 06:40 PM	((Is he guiding them to a portal? Correct me if im wrong but I thought the GoV's guildhouse's back in Juxta?)) Sivex gasps, truly frightened by the stranger's appearance for a brief moment. " By the gods, w-who....what are you? " In the spy's mind " Lord of shadows preserve me. I'll be needin' a bigger knife... "
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-07-03, 08:00 PM	{OOC: Oh, you're right, Frost Dagger. Edited the previous post acordingly :embarrass Excuse my stupidity. Now i suggest to mov to the GoV thread.} Feeling {either rightfully or arrogantly} fear in the "priest"'s tone, Zincaller lets his voice slide to a less "civilised" tembre, becoming slightly growling, and with the backsound of a silent roar. His voice remains calm, however, perhaps even adding to the impression. "I am ar`Zincaller, and am thy host for this day... and perhaps for any number of... daies to come..."
kulideb 12-08-03, 04:47 AM	Lushay was relived that the creature spoke to them and hadnt attacked. She tried to hide her shock when he spoke her name. She took a step towards the portal and looked back to make sure that Eera was also following. When the smoke had cleared she found herself on the streets near her guild hall. "I'll lead." she said becoming more composed.
N.Y. Wench 12-08-03, 12:27 PM	Poor Eera was like in a stupor and did nothing untill they all erupted back on theyr good old streets
frost_dagger 12-08-03, 03:09 PM	Before Sivex knew it, the strange creature already trasported them to another place using its magic. The entire process probably took no longer than a few minutes, he thought. Again, the human spy felt a mix of fear and awe, understanding this exotic being is capable of magic, and should never be taken lightly. He glances around, noting the place with recognition. He murmurs " Well I'll be... This monster brought us to Juxta. " ((Now moving to the GoV's thread))
zoe_augustus 12-09-03, 12:14 AM	As Ratalgy propels himself into Yanen, the fire spreads again onto his body (though slowly due to him being soaked). A stray ember jumps into the box lodge in his stomach. The cylinders filled with black powder have cracked slightly under the pressure of the water, and the spark slips through a small hole, igniting them. A large, deafening explosion takes place, instantly incinerating Yanen and sending a wave of fire across the landscape.
zoe_augustus 12-09-03, 12:14 AM	((double post))
Ratalgy 12-09-03, 12:26 AM	Ratalgy lays, burning, at his master's feet as the bomb goes off. He's caught in the center of the explosion and incinerated as well. "ItWasAllWorthItAndStuff!"
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-09-03, 01:02 AM	The crowd, some of which were all but on top of Yanen, doesn't even see the explosion before it hits them. Those cloest to the blast are killed instantly, sending bits and pieces of peasent in all directions. Others, who had fled from the gaurds rto an area farther from the blast, are knocked off their feet, have parts amputated, or are torn apart by shrapnel. Cries of horror and pain echo through much of the City of Wracod.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-09-03, 01:07 AM	The city gaurds, mostly farther from the blast and better protected then the peasents, are less hard hit. However, they also take heavy casualities, and the vast majority of them take atleast minor wounds from airboarn deris.
A Cracker 12-09-03, 01:11 AM	The giant cracker had zealous pursued a young female peasent farther in the crowd than most of the gaurds, and began beating and kicking her brutally when the bomb went off. He was caught very near the center of the blast, and blow apart, raining crumbs down on the area surrounding the Guildhall.
Megan Olliever 12-09-03, 01:14 AM	Megan sighs as the Trophy Room portal behind her spasms and spits debris into the room. "Gods... What happened now?"
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-09-03, 01:22 AM	Mr. Wracod's carriage is knocked on its side by the blast, and a piece of shrapnel tears through its side, catching him in his right arm. He growls painfully. "[censored by the sound of the explosion]!" Mr. Wracod struggles to his feet, throws the carriage door open above him, and surveys the area. He's still for a mommet, and then the vien over his right eye begins twitching. "The... boy... is... going... to... die... and... fry... in... the... lowest... layer... of... hell... for... this..."
Nugan 12-09-03, 01:29 AM	The explosion rips across the Guildhall's block, knocke down walls on nearby buildings, and shattering windows and street lamp all the way down the street. The front wall of the Guildhall itsself is blown apart, sending wood splitters raining down on the street. The interior of the Guild hall is sorched by the explosion, destroying the remaining chairs and the rest of the Guildhall's furiniture. The building does not fall however, and continues to burn.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-09-03, 01:33 AM	The less injured members of the city gaurd begin to regroup. They move through the rubble towards each other, gathering in front of Prime Minister Wracod. They yell questions at him that drown each other out and him pleading looks.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-09-03, 01:37 AM	Nugan throws up his uningured arm, and gives the gaurd an angry stare. "What the hell do I know?! Save some of those damn burning people or something!"
Wracod City Gaurd 12-09-03, 01:41 AM	The gaurds turn and move towards the Guildhall searching the wreckage-covered streets for survivors. A group of them move inside the ruined Guildhall itsself to look.
A Turkey 12-09-03, 01:48 AM	The turkey, frigthened out of hiding by the blast, rushes out into the middle of the street. "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" The turkey wanders nervously, though the wreckage when its eyes fall on the scattered cracker crumbs. "Gobble?" The turkey rushes for a crumb, devours it, and then moves to the next one, and the next, and so on. "Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble..."
WC Blazequeller 12-09-03, 01:55 AM	A member of the Wracod City fire response team rushes into the hole in the side of the smoldering building. Behind him, several members of a local bucket brigade shuffle around and begin forming up in a line to try and put the fire out. The man looks around the ruins, poking at the floor as he goes to check for survivors.
Nugan 12-09-03, 02:04 AM	The actions of the fire fighters fails to put out the blaze that's quickly devouring the Guildhall. They do, however, manage to put too much pressure on the Guildhall's already severely weakened support beams. One beam shatters, followed the one next to it, followed by the next, followed by another, continuing across the entirity of the Guildhall. The Guildhall shudders for a momment and then collapses completely.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-09-03, 02:16 AM	The gaurds inside the Guildhall give out cries of pain as it collapses on top of them. The other gaurds hurry towards their comaradess, but are unable to get close to the Guildhall's flaming remains.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-09-03, 02:19 AM	Mr. Wracod winces as the Guildhall collapses. "[censored by the sound of the building's collapse]!"
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-09-03, 04:31 AM	Originally posted by some of Nugan's acounts: The crowd, some of which were all but on top of Yanen, doesn't even see the explosion before it hits them.

Nugan 12-19-03, 04:39 PM	The pile of rubble that was once the Apathy Guildhall burns slowly for a few momment until the flames below the rubble reach Nocturan's stash of ale. Another large explosion rips through the remains, throwing bits and pieces of the guildhall into the air.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-19-03, 04:56 PM	Mr. Wracod sighs as the Guildhall explodes again, and watches the bits of rubble drift around the wreckage. A small piece of cloth falls on the top of his head, and slips onto his face before he catches it and looks it over. Its a piece of fabric from the outside of an armchair. The name "Nugan" is stiched into it. "Boy..." Mr. Wracod's right eye begins to twitch.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-19-03, 05:25 PM	More carriages pull up and a new brigade of gaurds file out, joined with a klarge group of clerics this time. Most of the gaurds, and all of the clerics join the remaining original gaurds in the clean up and search for survivors. Meanwhile, the other gauurds begin to set baricades , closing off the area affected by the riots and explosions from the public.
Impromptu Peasant Militia 12-19-03, 05:39 PM	Most of the still living peasents lay twitching and moaning all around the area surrounding the Guildhall. The few that were left standing by the blast slip away as the new group of gaurds arrive, before they're boxed in by the barricade.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-19-03, 05:49 PM	Mr. Wracod walks through the wreckage covered streets, holding a hankerchief over his mouth to block out all of the smoke and fumes in the air, watching the city gaurds work. "I always knew that dfamn boy was going to ruin everything for me... I just never thought the bastard was going to do it in such a damn big way."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 07:37 PM	The cloaked figure shifted into a gaseous form as the explosion ripped through the air around him, the flames and rubble passing through the black mist that maintained a vague image of his shape. He snarled at the third eruption from the ale kegs, grumblin to himself mentally. . o O ( Damnable hells, these foolish bloodbags keep excessive amounts of combustables on them, don't they.... No matter, they will soon meet their destruction, all in due time. ) He continues to drift until reaching the portal into the trophy room, sifting through the gateway and drifting along the corridors of shelves.
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 08:04 PM	Megan blinks as the black mist floats into the Trophy Room. "Gods, what the hell is that? I knew I should've tolfd Mel to go to hell when he offered me this job... How damn stupid was I to come back to this loony bin..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 08:13 PM	The black mists slowly coalesce a few feet away from Megan into the solidified form of the cloaked figure once more, standing upright and glancing around. The only visible feature aside from the black cloak that can be seen of him are two glowing pinpoints of red light. He snarls a bit, drawing back his mouth slightly and revealing a gleaming white fang among the deep darkness of his hood as he speaks. "Well well well, what have we here? A living bloodbag it seems...."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 08:16 PM	Megan sighs angrily as X solidifies and kicks at some rubble with her right foot. "Damn it! Another loon... What the hell do you want?"
Jim The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 09:03 PM	A small brown-red fox trots through the ruins of the guildhall. He pauses for a moment near the place where the front door used to be to chew on the charred arm of a peasant sticking out of the rubble. After a while, he moves on and continues to sniff at the ground, looking for less burnt remains. o.0 (I wonder if there were any children...or maybe pregnant women...in here. Mmmm, baby meat..)
A Militant Group of Drow 12-20-03, 09:22 PM	A group of low flying clouds begins to move over the area around the guildhall, blocking out some of the sunlight. There is a loud rumble and then a flash of blue lightning and small liquidy drops begin to fall from the clouds. While still in the air, the drops begin to shift form, and move through the stages of humanoid fetal development right before your eyes. Before hitting the ground, they have become drow, fully clothed and adult. Suddenly, there is another rumble and this time a flash of red lightning. More small raindrops start falling, but this time they form into various weapons- spears, shortswords, daggers- and plumet to the ground. The drow too slow to react, or those unable to find cover, are impaled, but some manage to get to safety. After the storm finishes, they move out of their positions and begin picking up the weapons. Massing into several groups, they move through the remains of the guildhall, poking at the ground and sometimes stopping along the way to pick up valuables scattered among the rubble. After a few minutes, the clouds that brought the drow dissapate and the sun comes back out.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-20-03, 09:51 PM	The gaurds and clerics pause their rescure efforts as the rain begins to fall, and silently watch the drow form, mouthes agape in shock. The rain of weapons that follows injures and kills several gaurds, while they continue to stare stunned. After the rain subsides and the drow begins to move among the rubble, they shift their gazes to their prime minister, and wait for an order.
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 09:52 PM	The cloaked being smirks at Megan, slowly stepping to the side and looking over the shelves of the trophy room as he speaks with a monotone voice, "Well take a guess. I'm here in this room of this place, few others present to disrupt my pace, the guildmembers are gone, the place is now empty save myself and one. Now, why don't you tell me why I'm here, bloodbag?"
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-20-03, 10:00 PM	Mr. Wracod finishes staring at the drow spectacle, and turns to glare at the troops. "What are you stupid bastards looking at? You think I know what the hell is going on? Go freaking find out!"
Jim The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 10:02 PM	Jim dives into a hole created by the fallen stone and boards, but takes a dagger in the back of the leg in the process. "Damn, what the hell is going on here? Didn't there used to be a guildhall here or something?"
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 10:06 PM	Megan leans down and picks up a small board that had been thrown into the Trophy Room by the explosion. "That's what I was asfraid of... Well, that's why I'm here... And I got here first... So how bout you turn your pale lil' ass around and go drain yourself some peasent farmers... Cause all this crap is mine..."
Wracod City Gaurd 12-20-03, 10:12 PM	Several of the gaurds draw their longswords and begin cautiously approaching the drow. A gaurd in the front with slightly more elaborate armor speaks nervously. "Ar-are you aware that you're in a of-off limits ar-area... Pl-please take your leave... Im-imdetiately."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 10:12 PM	After the storm is over, Jim emerges from the hole and turns to lick off his injured leg. Limping further into the ruins, he stumbles through the trophy room portal and looks around. Spotting Megan and X, he tilts his head to the side. "Uh, hey there...you guys new members?"
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 10:12 PM	The cloaked being raises his hands with his back turned to Megan, slowly drawing back his hood as he snickers to himself, revealing his ice-white hair and the two pointed ears of ebon flesh. He turns around, revealing himself as a drow and sneers as he speaks, "Pale, eh bloodbag? You make far too vast an assumption on one whom you do not yet know....That is seldom a wise decision you know, to presume that which you do not understand to be fact when it can quite easily be entirely fallacious...."
A Militant Group of Drow 12-20-03, 10:18 PM	The group of drow shuffles as heads turn to look at the city guard captain speaking. A few laughs go up and many of the drow brandish their weapons. A young drow man with a bottle in one hand and a shortsword in the other stumbles forward and begins swaggering around. Rolling his eyes, he turns back towards his comrades and smirks, then turns to face the guard again and drops his pants and undergarments, exposing his genitals.
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 10:19 PM	The drow turns as he hears Jim's words, smirking and showing the ivory fangs as he replies, "New member? Not hardly small one....This ruined rathole is of little concern to me or any of my kind....Though I imagine it's quite adequite for one of your....stature."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 10:21 PM	Megan throws the plank through one of the glass Throphy Cases, shattering it. She walks over to it, reaches into the case, and withdraws a longsword. "Well, I presume you understand that you should do what I said anyway kid." Megan glances at Jim and rolls her eyes. "Oh gods, its the gnat dog... I just got finished washing off all of the insects from when I was working with you loons..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 10:26 PM	The drow rols his eyes at Megan, the pinpoints of red light that make up his irises glowing more dully as he becomes rather annoyed. A hand slips beneath his cloak and returns clutching a holy symbol as his other gestures and he speaks, "Put that thing down this instant foolish bloodbag or I will not hesitate to raze this room to the ground with the very fires of Hell itself."
Wracod City Gaurd 12-20-03, 10:26 PM	The gaurds take a few steps backwards and the captian sputters. "Well... Well... That's... That's just..."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 10:28 PM	Jim raises a brow and then frowns a bit at X. "What's it your doing here then? You wouldn't be trying to rob us now would you?" He looks to Megan and begins scratching himself with his back leg. "Lady, I wish more than anything i could get rid of these lice, but I can't..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 10:31 PM	The drow smirks at Jim at his question, still holding his holy symbol before him and making his gestures keeping his threatened spell at the ready, "Perhaps that is why I am here you vermin infested canine. What of it? There is nothing else left of this rat's nest of a guildhall, what does this matter to you?"
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-20-03, 10:32 PM	Mr. Wracod growls and tries to shield his eyes as he sees the drow. "I'm am going to kill that damn boy... and his damn lizard... and his damn weasel... and his damn mother too for the hell of it... And because she wastes all of my hard earned money on gin..."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 10:34 PM	Meanwhile, inside Jim's fur a small scabby part of skin, which has been formed into the likeness of a tower, juts from the back of his neck. In the upper parts of the tower a lice dressed in tiny gray robes gestures wildly and chants arcane words. Jim floats into the air suddenly and looks from side to side. "Its happening again..."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 10:42 PM	Megan laughs a little at Xerneth. "You know kid, some how you just don't scare me that much..." Megan gestures to the plaque of the smashed Trophy Case. It reads "Nathan's Swords- Provided by Skellum, these three swords were stolen from Articifer Nathan's shop in the Emporium".
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 10:45 PM	The drow arches a slender white eyebrow as he sees Jim levitating, then sneers a bit, "So the licebag possesses magic as well...." The drow continues to weave his fingers in mystical gestures, as his holy symbol begins to glow slightly with a dark green-black light.
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 10:50 PM	The drow also smirks at Megan, and glances at the plaque as well, "Well....Be that as it may, I believe this...." He pauses his speech briefly as he drives his hand through the closest glass case to himself and withdraws a stone, also pointing to its sign that notes it as an anti-magic stone, "....should counter that quite nicely."
Ellen The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 11:01 PM	Another fox, this one a lighter brown color, trots into the room and stands behind Jim, looking at him. "So, Archlight 15, i've finally found you...."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 11:05 PM	Megan looks at the stone, and scans the trophy cases. Her eyes fall on one of them, and she shivers, walking over to it. "Well kid, I think I may be able to top you there..." Megan gulps, grabs a rock off the ground, and smashes the case next to "Aricifer Nathan's Perasonal Effects" with it. She covers her hand with a hankerchief, hestantly reaches inside with a look of disgust, and removes a different kind of personal effect belonging to Nathan. "I'm not sure about you, but I'm betting this has some kind of magical powers..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 11:13 PM	The drow smirks, then sneers as he sees exactly what she holds in her hands. "Well that's needlessly unpleasant....but I've dealt with worse...." He pauses and reaches into the case again, pulling out a comb of somesort as it was the first thing within reach, he speaks again with confidence, "Aha! You may have that, but I have....This....thing.... damnit." His voice loses the confidence as he speaks and realizes what he was holding, then sneers as he still holds the anti-magic stone, cursing and muttering to himself, "Damn, I had to go for the obvious choice first...."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 11:14 PM	Jim spins around to look at the other fox with a confused expression on his face. "Wha....who the hell are you? And what are you talking about?" The Lice Archmagi raises a licey brow and sighs, peering out of the window of his scabby tower. o.0 (So its as I feared...the other member of the Arclight Project is still living.) He glances to the side to a small metallic device with several meters and gauges on its surface. "What the hell? These readings can't be correct. Her Total Arcane Rating is more than ours....th-that means there's more members of the Praetorians on her than on this unit! Impossible!" Jim scratches frantically at his neck with his back paw and growls. "Man, they're busy as hell today.."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 11:22 PM	Megan looks down at the thing in her hand and shivers. "And I told Nugan I would never go this far when he hired me to spy on Nathan..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 11:32 PM	The drow sneers and sweeps a foot along the groud beneath his cloak, gathering up several shards of broken, jagged glass beside his boot as he turns partly sideways toward Megan, still brandsishing the stone with hand as the other slips beneath his cloak on onto the handle of one of the many items at his belt. "Perhaps you had said that once, but all for naught, for you hold something in hand you'd hoped you'd forgot. Maybe you should think before you act, before that thing gets lodged in your digestive tract."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 11:37 PM	Megan bradishes both of her "swords" at Xerneth, and takes a step back. "How bout we make a deal... You can have your comb and rock and leave... Or I'll have to use it... And gods have mercy on us all..."
Ellen The Talking Fox 12-20-03, 11:38 PM	A smirk creeps across Ellen's face as she stares at Jim and she nods at something. At the same time, a small lice dressed in blue robes watches Jim from his position ontop of Ellen's head, just above her eye. He smirks and nods, then begins chanting a spell incantation Ellen's body floats into the air, and a rippling blue aura surrounds her body, clouding and distorting its shape.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-20-03, 11:42 PM	The gaurd move closer to the drow, brandishing their longswords. The captain speaks again. "What do you want? You're breaking the laws of the nation of Wracod... With in our Prime Minister's sight no less."
Xerneth Karjen 12-20-03, 11:44 PM	The drow smirks as he takes a step toward the backpedalling Megan, keeping the rock held in front of him as he gets a firm grip on the handle at his belt, "And just what is it you intend to do with that, hmm bloodbag?...I think that we all know precisely what happens to those who wield items they were not meant to hold, and you clearly do not know how to use such an item. Just set it down and leave it be, for the only one who can wield it properly is nowhere near here."
Megan Olliever 12-20-03, 11:56 PM	Megzan smirks at Xerneth. "I studied under Nathan fopr a short while... I think I have a pretty good idea how to use it..."
A Militant Group of Drow 12-20-03, 11:56 PM	The drow seem to not notice the captain, as they have all gathered around in a circle to look at something. In the center, a young drow woman is playing a guitar and singing a song full of profanities and slanders aimed at the Wracod City Guard. A few people have started dancing, while some others have started picking up pieces of rubble and hurling them at the guards. Some of the drow have gone further into the guildhall to the area near the trophy room portal and are now studying it.
A Militant Group of Drow 12-20-03, 11:57 PM	((oops double post :angel: :behold: :smirk: ))
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-21-03, 12:01 AM	Nugan Sr's scowl slowly changes to a small smirk as he listens to the drow. "Hell... I should have hired them instead..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-21-03, 12:04 AM	The drow smirks and shakes his head, drawing forth the long, cruelly shaped hook, much like the kind a butcher uses to hang a large animal from after cutting it. The dark iron glistens a bit, showing it to be very sharply pointed, and a few reverse barbs are positioned just behind the tip, designed to rip the flesh upon removal. "I care not to hear of what you learned while in someone's company about wielding such things, as it does not concern me in the least bit you silly little girl. I strongly suggest this once more before you get hurt: Put it down." With those last words, the drow looks directly at Megan's eyes, his expression one of anger combined with hatred; showing him to be entirely serious.
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 12:12 AM	Megan rubs the thing lightly with her hankerchief covered hand. "Last chance... Take your rock and comb and go... I've already started to activate it..."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-21-03, 12:14 AM	Jim's body launches suddenly into a mid-air spin, and a ball of flame, emanating from his tail, discharages and hurdles towards Ellen. Afterwords, an orange-red aura forms around his body. He looks at himself with surprise and fear. "I....wha....what the hell? They've never done anything like this before!"
Xerneth Karjen 12-21-03, 12:18 AM	The drow's eyes widen, the red glow becoming brighter as he pockets the anti-magic stone, nullifying its effects. He stoops and moves as if to pick up the comb, but instead whips his cloak back and kicks with his foot, sending the gathered pile of jagged glass flying toward Megan at a level that should shower her in glass shards. Hoping that that will serve as a distraction, he then disperses into his gaseous form, becoming black mists.
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 12:23 AM	Megan yells and drops the item on the floor as she shields her face with her free hand and the sword. She gets hit and cut by several of the shards and stumbles backwards. "Damn it!" Megan looks down at the item on the floor and notices that it has begun to glow. "Oh...."
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 12:26 AM	A small blue man with green hair emerges from the object as it is rubbed by Megan. He folds his arms over his chest and nods to Megan. "Phenomenal Cosmic Powers....ity bity package. At your service ma'am..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-21-03, 12:32 AM	The drow in mist form moves and shifts around, gathering up various things, the comb and anything else he can sweep up into his gaseous shape, absorbing them into himself before drifting toward Megan. He raises a gaseous arm with the hook and begins to slowly resolidify, then stops as he sees the genie arrive. Remaining in his gaseous state, he drifts backwards, moving toward the portal.
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 12:32 AM	Megan blinks at the Genie. "Y-you're k-k-kidding me..."
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 12:38 AM	The genie raises a brow and shrugs at Megan, then looks between her and X. "What's wrong? I'm here to serve you....don't tell me you've never heard of a genie before."
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 12:43 AM	Megan's look of bewilderment slowly changes into a wide smirk. "A genie? As in three wishes? As in anything I want?"
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 12:47 AM	The genie nods with a smile. "That's right, command me and I obey. Boy i'm soooo glad to be outta that thing for a while, I haven't been out since before the...err...separation..."
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 12:50 AM	Megan's smirk grows even wider. "Really? Anything?"
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 12:54 AM	The genie nods again. "Anything you could dream of..."
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 01:01 AM	Megan nods, almost laughing. "Okay... For my first wish... I wish for... infinite wishes."
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 01:09 AM	The genie shrugs and nods in agreement. "Well, if thats what you want...the other guy that had me wished for that too. Boy was that guy a jackass...I hope you aren't like that..."
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 01:14 AM	Megan shrugs. "I guess we'll just have to see, won't we? Now... Want do I want... What do I want..."
Ellen The Talking Fox 12-21-03, 01:18 AM	Ellen quickly plunges downard in the air, narrowly avoiding the fireball and then floats back up and levels herself with Jim. A chorus of lice can be heard chanting arcane words from inside Ellen's fur. The Lice Archmagi, who is leading them, stands on the tip of the fox's nose and surveys the area. As his head moves, hers moves in unison with it. o.0 (Is that the best you can do, Xlumien? Is that all you have?)
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 01:23 AM	Megan watches the two foxes fight in the middle of the room, her eyes gleaming. "How about some of thier powers? I could go for that..."
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 01:30 AM	The Penris genie's hands begin to glow white, and a light twinkles in his eyes. He gestures at Megan and a white light washes over her body. Small lice begin scurrying up from her boots and onto the rest of her body, trying to find adequate nesting grounds. "Done, anything else?"
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 01:34 AM	Megan looks down at lice in horror. "What kind of freaking joke is this!?" Megan begins scratching furiously at the lice. As she does so several of them seem to converge on her leg and a beam of energy shoot from that spot to her hand, burning her.
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 01:43 AM	The genie shrugs with a blank expression on his face. "That's what you wanted wasn't it? You said you wanted the powers those two foxes had, so I gave you their magical lice."
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 01:45 AM	Megan shakes her burning hand and glares at the Genie. "Magical lice?! I didn't know anything about Magical lice! Get rid of them!"
The Penris Genie 12-21-03, 01:50 AM	The genie looks at Megan and nods and his hands begin to glow once again. More white light washes over Megan and the lice vanish. "Sorry about that, I was just doing what you told me...and whatnot."
Xerneth Karjen 12-21-03, 02:01 AM	The dispersed drow drifts in mist form into the glass cases and begins to absorb any items small enough to sweep up into his current mass, keeping his senses focused on Megan and the genie a bit cautiously. . o O ( Of course, the bloodbag has forgotten the key to making such wishes, this should be rather entertaining. )
Megan Olliever 12-21-03, 02:07 AM	Megan sighs and scratches at her legs. "Whatever... Now... Let's try this again... Damn... There's so many things... Where should I even start..."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-23-03, 12:10 AM	Jim stays hanging in mid air, his mouth gaping slightly as he looks at Ellen with a confused expression. "Listen, I really have no idea what's going on with them today...I mean, they get crazy sometimes, but they've never done anything close to this. I don't control them though, they aren't acting on my commands, so i'd say you should probably be getting..." Jim launches into another flip, and this time a volley of magic missles shoots from his tail at Ellen. The lice archmagi turns to a brown colored lice standing next to him. He nods to him, and the lice withdraws a small piece of dung from his black robes, raises it up into the air and begins chanting. The gold-orange aura surrounding Jim glows brighter for a moment, and magical glyphs fade into existence in the air around him. His body begins to jerk around wildly and suddenly it dives forward at Ellen with an open maw.
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 12:12 AM	Megan stands thinking for another momment, then a smirk slowly crosses her face. "wait... I got it... I wish I had... Apathy!"
Ellen The Talking Fox 12-23-03, 12:19 AM	Ellen flinches as Jim slams into her and starts biting at her neck. The magic missles circle around her for a few seconds and then hit her in unison, causing her to let out a cry. Struggling and rolling around in the air, she manages to throw Jim off, but deep red bite marks remain on her neck. "Maybe I spoke too soon..."
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 12:23 AM	The genie nods and gestures at Megan and white light washes over her again. He smirks. "There you go, I guess you won't be caring enough to be making any wishes anytime soon?"
An Expendable Gnome 12-23-03, 12:24 AM	A gnome that looks like all the other gnomes in Dalineous's gaurd, save for a sash that reads "STOG" steps through the portal into the Trophy Room. "This ain't gonna be good." The gnome turns and steps back out.
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 12:29 AM	Megan sighs and shrugs. "Yeah... I feel kinda dead inside... Empty... Not worth wanting anything... Too bad... I just wish I cared enough to make another wish..."
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 12:31 AM	The genie shrugs and then dissapears back into his "lamp" and out of sight. "Well then, just call if you need anything else."
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 12:34 AM	The genie does a double take and reemerges from his lamp. "Hey wait a minute now....oh, hmm...well I can do that I suppose..." He begins waving his hands again.
An Expendable Gnome 12-23-03, 12:36 AM	Thre gnome steps back in. "Actually, she did make a wish." The gnome steps back out.
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 12:42 AM	The genie sighs and looks at Megan. "So, you wouldn't be wanting to free me anytime soon would you? Life in this...cylinder...is boring...and erot...er I mean erratic."
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 12:42 AM	Megan blinks. "Wait! I did want to make a wish... I wish for Apathy, the thieves guild, not the feeling, not the demon lord of, not some with it in their name, not anything but the thieves guild... And I don't want to be turned into the guild... I want to own it... Like Nugan did... But with less incompetance."
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 12:45 AM	The genie nods and begins gesturing with his arms. More white light washes over Megan's body. "Well, its yours...have fun leading the rubble..."
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 12:47 AM	Megan laughs. "No, its you that'll have fun with the rubble... Because I want you to rebuild the Guildhall, just as it was, sdave with me as its owner and master. Get busy."
A Militant Group of Drow 12-23-03, 12:49 AM	Meanwhile, outside the guildhall, the drow continue to dance, sing, and hurl rocks at the city guardsman. A few of them dressed in blue robes have formed two very large elemental creatures from the fallen rock, both of which are now proceding to pick up bigger chunks of rock and hurl them at the guards. Cheers and profanities can be heard from the crowd, along with the offensive music that was blaring before.
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 12:53 AM	The penris genie stops chuckling and sighs. "Oh...right, i didn't think of that....well off I go then." He waves his hands and the rocks on the ground begin springing back up ontop of each other, reforming the guildhall. Slowly, the gaps and holes in the building fill and it starts to return to normal.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-23-03, 12:54 AM	The gaurds grow increasingly frustrated as the music and jokes continue. Finally, one of the breaks, draws his sword, and makes a run towards the drow. He only gets a few steps before he's grabbed by other gaurds and held back. "Stop! They're not worth it."
WC Blazequeller 12-23-03, 12:55 AM	The firefighters, who were just finishing up with the search operation and had begun to mount a Wracod City flag upon the rubble get crushed by a chunk of rubble hurled by the golems.
A Militant Group of Drow 12-23-03, 12:59 AM	The drow laugh as the guardsman lunges forward at them. Some brandish their swords at him and yell profanities, while others just shake their heads and smile. A young woman dashes forward with a dagger drawn, but is also held back by the crowd. "You want some of this? Huh? Huh?"
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 01:01 AM	The genie sighs and folds his arms over his chest as he finishes rebuilding the guildhall. "There we are. Anything else?"
Nugan 12-23-03, 01:01 AM	The rubble of the Guilldhall reassembles itsself bit by bit, piece by piece. Planks of chared wood become beems and rafters again. Piles of scorched felt, cotton, and boards become chairs again. Shards of glass gather from all over the street to become windows. The entire area surrounding the Guildhall is swept clean of rubble, which returns to its former state. After a few short minutes, the Apathy Guildhall stands just where it was, just as it was before the events of the night.
A Militant Group of Drow 12-23-03, 01:05 AM	The drow clamour and look about as the guildhall reforms before their eyes. The two large rock golems slowly break apart and their limbs become part of the structure of the building. The music stops for a moment, but then continues after a drow in the front hurls his wine bottle at the side of the building and waves his arms around in a "to hell with it" manner.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-23-03, 01:08 AM	The city gaurd rush to shield themselves from the tempest of glass shards, wood splitters, and other ubble being bdrawn to the Guildhall. When the storm clears they uncover their eyes to see no evidence left of the riots and attacks of the night before besides the large pile of bodies of peasents and gaurds.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-23-03, 01:14 AM	Nugan Sr throws himself on the ground as the rebuilding begins. After it concludes, he climbs to his feet, and stands, mouth agape, staring at the rebuilt Guildhall. "Damn it! Now we don't even have a damn explanationfor all these freaking bodies! What the hell are the people going to think? I knowwhat they're going to think... They're going to think my damn gaurds killed them! And that's a half-truth at damn best...That damn boy strikes again. Why doesn't he just twist the dagger in my damn back and get it done with."
A Homeless Child 12-23-03, 01:19 AM	The child, who was sneaking through the wreckage with his tiny cart in homes of building a crude shelter to keep out the rain is caught up in the storm that rebuilds the Guildhall. "Oh *cough* No! I just *cough, cough* wanted to stay *cough,cough,cough* dry..." When the tempest subsides the child's rags are caught between two boards and he hangs from the inside wall of the Guildhall, not far from the room. He looks down and goes into another coughing fit.
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 01:26 AM	Megan steps out of the Trophy Room portal into the rebuilt Guildhall, a grin spreading over her face as she sees it. "Wow... It really freaking worked... Its like it was... But..." Megan walks over to the chair at the head of the table where Nugan used to sit. She leans down and looks it over, and her grin widens as instead of reading "Nugan" stitched into it, she sees the name "Megan". "Yes!... It is mine!" Megan throws herself into the chair and kicks her feet up on the table. "Now.... What should I ask for next?"
A Homeless Child 12-23-03, 01:34 AM	The homeless child looks down pitifully at Megan from where he hangs. "Um *cough* Excuse me *cough* Ma'am, but *cough, cough* could you help me get *cough* down?"
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 01:38 AM	Megan looks up at the child and rolls her eyes before forcing a smile. "Well... I do have unlimited wishes... So it would be easy to get you down... I'd only have to ask really... So..." Megan pushes her lips together, furrows her brow, and seems to be thinking for a momment. "No."
A Homeless Child 12-23-03, 01:41 AM	The child hangs his head. "*cough* Oh *cough*" The child goes into another coughing fit.
Wracod City Gaurd 12-23-03, 01:44 AM	The gaurds outside continue to stare dumb-founded at the Guildhall for a while. Then they turn and stare helplessly at PM Wracod.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-23-03, 01:48 AM	Mr. Wracod glares at the gaurds. "Don't you bastards start this again! Get back to work! Last man left with bodies to clean up gets blamed for this whole damned debocle!"
Wracod City Gaurd 12-23-03, 01:54 AM	The gaurds quickly salute their prime mninister then spin around and begin rushing around, gathering up bodies and looking after the wounded.
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 02:00 AM	Megan snaps her fingers. "I know! I've got the Guild and the Guildhall.... Now all I need is some Guild members, and that's what I wish for: Some worthy members for my guild."
The Penris Genie 12-23-03, 02:06 AM	The penris genie smiles and folds his arms over his chest again. "Well I know at least one worthy member..." He bows and waves his hand over himself and white light flows over both him and Megan. His clothes change to a dark purple set of robes, closed at the top with an apathy insignia brooch. "Done."
A Homeless Child 12-23-03, 02:11 AM	A ray of light shoots from the genie to the child, and he's torns from the wall and suspended, coughing, in mid-air. He begins to spin rapidly, and when he stops spinning he's wearing a shirt with the same insignia. He looks down at it and smiles. "Oh wow *cough, cough*, thanks! *cough* Now maybe I can make some *cough, cough* food money."
A Goat 12-23-03, 02:16 AM	The goat appears, enshrouded in the Genie's light. A collar bearing the Apathy insignia appears around his neck, and the can hanging from his mouth transforms into a dagger. He stands stunned for a momment, and then turns his head and looks at Megan. o0(Mmmm... Can.)
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-23-03, 02:20 AM	Sexlovious enter, light. "Something happen?" Sexlovious look Megan, drool. "Rock woman?"
Megan Olliever 12-23-03, 02:24 AM	Megan groans and begins hitting her head against the tabletop.
Nugan 12-26-03, 11:34 PM	Nugan turns the corner onto the Guildhall's street, smirking. "I hope the Guild didn't miss us... By which I mean the homless kid and that bogy Biantium left in her room that no one dares to move..." Nugan blinks and slides to a stop as he sees the smoke and the city gaurd barrier. "Oh yeah, that's gotta be a good thing..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-26-03, 11:47 PM	Nocturan chuckles to himself a bit as he walks up the road a few paces behind Nugan, dropping the empty keg of ale from his shoulder with a thud. "Good or bad, at least we're back in town, I just ran empty and need to get another from my stash at the hall.... Let's just either have them move, or make them move and get on with it..."
Straak 12-26-03, 11:49 PM	Straak follows Nugan gaze to the barricade and gulps. "Yah Boss... That doesn't, ya know, look good..."
Nugan 12-26-03, 11:56 PM	Nugan shrugs and resumes walking. "Ah well, what could be worse than climbing Gaspy's family tree?" Nugan realizes what he just said, and winces, making a mad rush for the nearest wooden building. "Great..." Nugan reaches the building and raises his hand to knck when he catches sight of his father outg of the corner of his eye. He sighs and lets his hand drop to his side. "Oh right, I really needed the answer to that question didn't I? Stupid gods amd their love of irony..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-26-03, 11:59 PM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan. "Well, you had to open your trap, didn't you? You really never learn, you know that?"
Straak 12-27-03, 12:04 AM	Straak spots Mr. Wracod and turns to Nugan. "Yah Boss.... It could be, ya know, worse... It could be..." Straak bites his lip for a momment, thinking. "Yah, I'll be, ya know, quiet..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 12:06 AM	Nocturan shakes his head and mutters to himself under his breath. "Correction.... Nobody in this guild ever learns....."
Nugan 12-27-03, 12:16 AM	Nugan shrugs, smirking. "Well, why do you think they kicked me out of the acadamy? Besides all the theft, I mean..." Nugan watches his father and the gaurds for a momment before turning back to Nocturan and Straak. "Okay... I'll see what I can do about Dad. You two see if you can get inside the Guildhall and figure out what happened."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 12:22 AM	Nocturan gives a nod. "Right, just don't let the geezer walk over you like usual." He then turns to Straak and gives a gesture with his snout toward the barrier as he cracks his neck. "Let's get going gecko."
Straak 12-27-03, 12:32 AM	Straak nods, hurrying after Nocturan. "Yah... I'm right, ya know, with you..." Straak shoots a look back at Nugan. "Good, ya know, luck Boss."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 12:38 AM	Nocturan stalks calmly over toward the barricade, his claw blades extending and retracting with a loud clang, resting smoothly against his arms as he nears. He stands to his full height of over eight feet and lets out a reptialian hiss as he addresses the guards behind the tower shields. "You have two options: Stand down, or get knocked down. I suggest you choose wisely."
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 12:39 AM	A large floating piece of rock emerges from a portal just above the guildhall. The slab is longer length wise than across, and its top is slightly rounded. The entire piece of rock seems to have been sanded down, as it looks very smooth in most places and seems to gleam in the sunlight. Several tiny, geometric crevices, each filled with orangey light, dot the outside of the structure, and in some places intersect to form patterns. A thick layer of green moss covers the back end of the rock and stretches a ways up the top of it before terminating in the middle. As the thing moves closer, the sound of running water can be heard.
Nugan 12-27-03, 12:43 AM	Nugan waits for Straak and Nocturan to pass out of sight, then he gulps and heads for the baricade. He smirks at one of the city gaurds. "Yeah... I need to talk to the Prime Minister. Tell him to waddle over here as fast as he can."
Wracod City Gaurd 12-27-03, 01:07 AM	The gaurd in front of Nocturan looks up at him, and shivers a little. "Uh... Well... I'm really not.... uh... supposed to... um... let anyone... uh... through..." The gaurd in front of Nugan shakes his head. "Prime Minister Wracod is busy.... And I wouldn't let you near him talking like that even if he wasn't. That'd be the end of me feeding my family..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 01:11 AM	Nocturan looks straight down at the guardsman who spoke, his own eyes flaring up with dark green light as he snarls and stretches. His arms flex and the claw blades extend and retract again with echoing clangs. "Then you have selected option number two. Brace yourselves."
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 01:12 AM	As the ship nears the guildhall, a large phalloid piece of rock covered with the same small, light filled holes, as well as moss, emerges from a large recess in the front part of the object and slams itself into the roof of the guildhall. After making a hole, it recedes back into its chamber. The ship lumbers slowly forward and lodges its front tip in the hole that was made and stays floating motionlessly at an angle.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-27-03, 01:24 AM	Mr. Wracod walks up to the barrier. "What the hell is going on here?" Mr. Wracod spots Nugan and glares at him. "Boy... Why are you here? Decided to literally spit on me and stabe me in the back cause the whole :censored:ing metaphorical thing wan't working for you?"
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 01:32 AM	Megan sighs as the rock crashes through the roof and looks to the genie. "Its not even worth it for me to try to wish that away, is it?"
The Penris Genie 12-27-03, 01:37 AM	The genie shrugs and shakes his head at Megan. "I could certainly try, but I have a feeling that it'll just come back again..."
Wracod City Gaurd 12-27-03, 01:40 AM	The gaurds near Nocturan had all fled before he finished speaking.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 01:44 AM	Nocturan smirks as he watches the guards running away. Shaking his head slightly he looks down toward Straak and states calmly. "Well, that was less fun than I had expected."
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 01:50 AM	As the large phallus penetrates the roof of the guildhall, a small figure appears at the front of the chamber's opening, ontop of the battering ram. His skin is a light gray color and his almond shaped eyes are unusually enlarged, almost bug-like. He is short, standing about 4ft tall, and is clad in yellow, brown trimmed robes. He wears a pendant around his neck that bears the image of a rooster strutting out of a barn- the holy symbol of Branogan McHawke. The man leaps up suddenly and slides down the top of the battering ram and into top rafters of the guildhall. After he has landed, the object vibrates slightly and releases a translucent whitish ooze. Taragon braces himself on the rafters, and swings to the side, narrowly avoiding the goo. He then swings to another rafter and climbs down a support beam until he lands on the floor. He dusts himself off and looks around the room. "Well folks, I'm here."
Nugan 12-27-03, 01:51 AM	Nugan sighs. "Feel like filling me in on what I did this time Dad? Or are you still caught up on the whole birth thing... I know I am..."
Straak 12-27-03, 02:01 AM	Straak smiles. "Yah... Nice, ya know, job Nocturan." Straak slips under the barricade, and makes his way towards the Guildhall.
One Stomp of the Foot 12-27-03, 02:01 AM	Up near the opening of the roof, a figure slips down into the rafters of the guildhall. After grabbing a hold of one of the rafters he nearly missed as he was coming down, he drops to the floor next to Taragon. This man, also relatively short, is dressed in a dark blue, nearly black robe. He appears to be an ordinary human, but his eyes have a thick glaze on them that looks very unnatural. His brownish hair is parted in the middle, and falls down to his shoulders. The man nods to Taragon and then reaches into his pockets and takes out a small mushroom, which he stuffs into his mouth.
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 02:06 AM	Megan dodges the grey ooze by ducking under the table. She emerges and glances at the genie. "You got anyone else coming? Because I think we're still down atleast one quasi-intellegent pervert."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 02:08 AM	Nocturan nods to Straak and waits for him to lead the way. "Thank you, it's about time I got some respect in this damn town." He follows Straak past the barricade, giving a feinted lunge at the nearby guards and drawing his fist up before walking past them. His eyes scan those nearby as if hoping that someone will step forward or get in the way.
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 02:13 AM	Taragon smirks and then goes into a polite curtsie. "Taragon the Yellow at your service, miss."
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-27-03, 02:16 AM	Mr Wracod growls. "What you did this time? I'll tell you what you :censored:ing did this time! You killed my respect, my political career, and about two-hundred of this city's citizens at the same damn time! That's what you did! You know how hard it is to kill the respect of a man in the town that's named after him? I don't, but you sure as :censored: have done it somehow!"
Wracod City Gaurd 12-27-03, 02:23 AM	A path through the gaurds forms around Nocturan as they hurry out of his way. One guard trips, screams iffeminatelty, and curls into a fetal position in his path.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 02:27 AM	Nocturan blinks at the guard who fell down and quickly rushes over to him, moving to grab the guard's collar as he growls an order in a low reptilian voice. "Ale. Now. Full keg. Got that?" He snarls as he awaits an answer, looming there, his metallic wings casting a very large shadow.
One Stomp of the Foot 12-27-03, 02:30 AM	One Stomp of the Foot stomps his foot once and points to himself, then bows to Megan. He extends his hand and turns it over, displaying a cluster of small purple mushrooms. He holds them out to Megan, offering them to her.
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 02:30 AM	Megan rolls her eyes. "Megan the thuroughly disgusted... And I'm not going to ask why you curtsied..."
Wracod City Gaurd 12-27-03, 02:35 AM	The gaurd nods weakly. "Yes sir."
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 02:40 AM	Megan shakes her head. "Yeah... no. I know you'll say they'll take me wonderful places, but somehow I'm sure they'll all really be in your master's bed."
Straak 12-27-03, 02:46 AM	Straak looks back at Nocturan and shakes his head with a smile. "Yah... That's almost, ya know, cruel." Straak turns back towards the Guildhall and resumes walking.
One Stomp of the Foot 12-27-03, 02:47 AM	One Stomp of the Foot shrugs and shoves the mushrooms into his mouth with a smile.
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 02:49 AM	Taragon looks at One Stomp and smiles, then looks back to Megan. "He doesn't say much. He's mute you see, as is his whole race. But anywho, we came here because you, uh, have something we want.."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 02:50 AM	Nocturan smiles and tosses the guard back to the ground as he lets him go. "And be quick about it mammal." He looks back over to Straak and smirks as he resumes following him toward the guildhall. "Good, then the point of it wasn't lost on you."
Nugan 12-27-03, 02:54 AM	Nugan sighs again. "First of all Dad, the city's named after Grandpa, not you..."
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 02:58 AM	Megan shrugs. "Oh good, I thought the genie brought you here to 'help' to... What do you want? And will you leave if we give it to you?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 03:02 AM	Taragon shakes his head. "Nope, the genie didn't bring us here at all...but he is the reason we're here. McHawke's gotten word of him all the way on Melkrin, he's some travelling relic apparently, and he sent us here to barter for him."
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-27-03, 03:05 AM	Mr. Wracod glares at his son. "Damn boy, you're probably the only damn person in this whole :censored:ing city who still knows that. I'd say your mother too, but I think the booze killed that memory. About damn time too..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 03:05 AM	The black mists drift back further into the trophy case and slowly reform into the cloaked drow, hood up once again. In his hand remains the cruelly shaped hook as he ducks himself behind one of the cases and waits, listening to the conversation between Megan, the genie, and the new arrivals. . o O ( Fools, all of them fools....Such trouble over such a thing....It is as unnatural as those wholesome infidel paladins....An abberation that should be eliminated....Perhaps it is time for a cleansing.... )
Straak 12-27-03, 03:12 AM	Straak reaches the door to the Guildhall, and sets his head against it for a momment before turning to Nocturan. "Yah... I hear people, ya know, talking in there... Who do ya think should, ya know, go in first?"
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 03:18 AM	Megan laughs. "Wait... You're actually willing to offer something for an incompetant genie that lives in Nathan's :censored:? I'm listening..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 03:20 AM	Nocturan leans close to the door and listens for a moment, then looks down to Straak as he sets one of his heavy fists onto the main doorknob. "Might as well be me. Chances are whoever is in there doesn't know how to hurt me the most. And besides, you're more effective when unseen, so stay hidden until we know what's going on, eh?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 03:21 AM	Taragon nods. "Incompetent or not, McHawke has some use for him. As for what we're offering....gold, jewels, vats full of urine...just about whatever the hell you want."
The Penris Genie 12-27-03, 03:25 AM	The genie looks somewhat hurt by being called incompetent, but it passes. He turns to Megan. "Now hold on a minute, mistress, its not as easy as that. If you were to let me go with them, all of your wishes and things i've brought you will be undone...that's what happens when I change hands..."
Nugan 12-27-03, 03:28 AM	Nugan shrugs. "Either way Dad, you can't lose what you didn't have, so your respect is completely intact. The people don't respect you, they fear you. They fear you cutting off their next meal. That's why you're running the country: fear. That's it..." Nugan gestures at the pile of bodies and smirks. "And by the looks of it, you don't have to worry about that going away anytime soon..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 03:29 AM	The drow raises his metal hook in front of him while remaining tucked away in his hiding place and whispers to himself as he looks over the wicked barbs and spikes that line the weapon, "Foolish girl with unearned power, she has nearly reached the final hour, and though her blood is likely sour, I shall cleanse it all tonight....And though she may be guarded, that will not prevent the end from being started, for the time has come to cleanse, this world of fools tonight...." He trails off as his eyes begin to glow slightly brighter, the hook catching the slight gleam and reflecting a dull red as a slick liquid just simply appears across it's surface.
Straak 12-27-03, 03:33 AM	Straak nods to Nocturan. "Yah... I'll do my, ya know, best." Straak moves to the side of the doorway, and waits there.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 03:39 AM	Nocturan nods and turns the knob slowly, watching and listening for the click of the internal mechanisms, flinging the double doors open and stepping through the gap, his massive form blocking out any light behind him from entering and casting his huge shadow inside. He hisses in his reptilian voice as he looks around the main hall, his dark green-black eyes glowing a bit as he scans the room.
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 03:39 AM	Megan rolls her eyes. "Oh yeah, the goat and the horny cat man are really worth all the jewels I want... Speaking of which, I want a wheelbarrow full. All diamonds, rubys, or emeralds. And no low-quality stones... I'll check."
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-27-03, 03:45 AM	Sexlovious gasp. "Woman offend. Not catman. I Catlord." Sexlovious shrug. "Still rock woman."
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 03:46 AM	Taragon smiles. "Good, good. Now then, if you'll just let us take you onboard the ship, i'll show you the gold and precious stones we've brought with us. I'm sure you'll find them more than good enough." He closes his eyes and suddenly a long vine drops from the front of the ship and into the room. He gestures to Megan. "Up we go.."
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 03:49 AM	The cloaked drow continues to whisper to himself as he draws forth a single silver scalpel into his free hand, which shines dimly in the lingering light around him, "And her friends too shall fall before, the wrath of vengeance set to score, a symphony of pain filled screams, the stuff of Grevad's very dreams...." The drow stands to his full height and steps forth from his hiding place, vanishing from sight as he turns fully invisible, the soft sound of his boots falling against the floor with each footstep the only sign that he remains in the trophy room as he holds the scalpel in one hand and the hook in the other, facing the gateway with a calm smile on his unseen face.
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 03:52 AM	Megan blinks and turns towards Nocturan as the door opens. "Hey look, its Nugan's big lizard. Bring the little lizard with you, or is he too busy 'cleaning' under his boss's desk?" Megan looks to Taragon. "Sorry, looks like you'll need to wait for a momment. I'm going to need the genie a little longer..."
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-27-03, 03:55 AM	Mr. Wracod growls again. "First you blow up half my damn city, then you start talking :censored: to me boy? Who the hell do you think I am?"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 03:59 AM	Nocturan smirks as he looks at Megan. "Who in the nine hells are you? Oh right, you're that damn sarcastic woman that Nugan hired to do a job for him a while back. Yeah, you know where the mops are dollface, get to work on these floors." He gestures at the ooze that came from the ship that lies on the floor as he says that, then back to Megan "And make it snappy."
Straak 12-27-03, 04:00 AM	Straak grits his teeth behind the door and slides his hand to the hilt of his dagger. "Yah... Ha, ha, ha..."
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 04:07 AM	Megan smiles at Nocturan. "Well, I would, but... I think you should see something..." Megan stands, and gestures to her name where Nugan's should be on the chair.
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 04:10 AM	The invisible cloaked drow slowly steps forward, methodically entering the main hall through the portal gateway. He still holds his poison dripping hook up in his right hand and the gleaming scalpel up in his left. His movements slow as he becomes more silent, barely making even the softest of footfalls as he draws closer to his self perceived prey. . o O ( Soon the blood shall hit the floor, these are worthy only of death and nothing more. )
Nugan 12-27-03, 04:15 AM	Nugan smirks. "Blow up? That's your cover story? Hate to break this too you Dad, but you might want atleast set off an actual explosion if you want the people, gullable as they are, to believe they weren't slaughtered by your troops."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 04:16 AM	Nocturan smirks and chuckles as he sees the name on the chair. "Good, you can sew too, go make me a bathrobe or something; just do something uselful." He looks at the others gathered here that he doesn't recognize and back to Megan. "Are you playing guildleader or what? Who the hells are these guys supposed to be?"
Straak 12-27-03, 04:20 AM	Straak sees Megan's name on the chair through the slit between the open door and the wall, spins around, draws his dagger, and runs straight into the door. "Yah... Owww..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 04:25 AM	The invisible drow grins darkly as he silently raises his right arm upward, the hook being moved slowly into position as he watches the back of Megan's head as if staring a hole through it. The tip of the hook points directly at the spot where he gazes. His fingers tighten around the grip of the weapon as he lowers his left hand, keeping the scalpel tip pointed at Megan's side, staying silent and not yet trying to strike; simply watching.
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 04:27 AM	Megan shrugs. "I'll let them introduce themselves to you... Come on guys, lets see if you can actually fight... at all.." Megan rolls her eyes as she hears the sounds outside the door. "Yes Straak, you can come in..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 04:32 AM	Nocturan smirks a bit. "An actual fight? You mean to tell me you're going to send a little kid, a goat, some cat-guy, and gods only know what the hells those other things are... over here to fight me? It's about damn time, I was getting bored." He winces as he hears Straak slamming into the door. "Good work gecko.... real smooth...."
A Homeless Child 12-27-03, 04:33 AM	The homeless child draws his tiny knife, and holds it out in a shakey hand as he approaches Nocturan. "Don't *cough* tell me *cough* you want to *cough, cough* mess with *cough* this."
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 04:40 AM	The invisible drow lingers there for a moment, poised to strike as he watches the others around him, still remaining focused on the back of Megan's head, lowering his eyes to rest between her shoulder blade, attuning his ears to drown out all other sound as he keys into the soft pulse of her heartbeat. He grins as he hears the rythmic beat, his unseen eyes glazing over as he can't help himself but lick his lips in anticipation. His fingers flex around the grip of his weapon again, tightening as he makes his final preparations.
A Goat 12-27-03, 04:40 AM	The goat, knife in mouth, trots over to Nocturan. When he reaches him, he lets the knife drop from his mouth and starts sniffing one of his metal wings. o0(Mmmm... Can.)
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-27-03, 04:46 AM	Sexlovious draw steel, charge. "Rock lizard!"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 04:50 AM	Nocturan smirks at the small child and the goat and gives his wings a strong flap, kicking up dust and air in all directions as he creates a forceful wind around himself, then lets his claw blades extend with a loud clang, shaking his head at Sexlovious. "No no no, mecha lizard. Get it right or pay the price." He waits until the catlord is close and raises a claw blade up to block the sword as he brings the other up in an uppercut aimed for his stomach, the piercing points of the blades first.
Straak 12-27-03, 04:51 AM	Straak shakes himself, and hurries into the Guilfhall, dagger in hand. "Yah... Ya are all gonna be, ya know, sorry that..." Straak trails off and does a double take of the room. "Yah... I was expecting something less, ya know, sad..."
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-27-03, 07:03 AM	The elf steps from his portal and looks around at his gathered associates, speaking calmly as he checks to make sure that all is well. "You fought bravely everyone, it's a shame that Yanen had to get in the way as he always has, but at least we all made it out safely. I just hope that barrier I put in place held up to protect the civilians...." He winces as Yanen's explosion triggers and is nearly knocked off his feet, as the Shadow realm alters itself to mirror the prime somewhat. His eyes widen as he sees the plane ripple beyond the distance where he placed his barrier in the same way as it had with the rest of the explosion. Uttering a curse, he mutters to himself. "Great, just great.... I hope Mr. Wracod can handle the cleanup, I can't risk getting fully involved in ***** politics again, I have enough to take care of at home." He looks to Igy and Barra, motioning for them to join him as he steps away, looking back to Hekyl and Jekyl as he speaks. "Be careful you two, and get those vocal chords healed as soon as possible, it helps to make sense of what you guys are saying when every word is actually said."
Barra'rrorrok 12-27-03, 07:10 AM	The large shadow mastiff steps in from the portal alongside his master and waits as he lets him speak. He growls as the explosion rocks through the shadowstuff of the plane and sets his feet wide to brace his balance. His ears go back, showing that he is in a displeased mood knowing what that sort of rippling means. He steadies and follows Tharivious, pausing as his master pauses and turns, and waiting for him to continue walking again before moving.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-27-03, 07:18 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj appears within the plane of shadow via his spell and waits for Tharivious to return. He nods as he sees his friend appear from his portal, and waits as he checks everyone over. He growls low in his sibilant language as the plane shakes from the explosion and watches as the ground sinks down slightly in a somewhat warped crater. "Damnit.... That lich needs to stopped at some point, although even his phylactery seems to be only temporarily destructable...." He blinks a bit as he overhears the elf's muttering. "You mean not to aid the citizens of Wracod then? Very well, I suppose that such might upset the balance to have ones who now live in a different realm interfere in their lives more than we have to." The dragon takes a step to follow as Tharivious begins to walk off, and looks back with a nod to Hekyl and Jekyl. "Be safe, or at least cautious." He then resumes moving outward, not waiting for his friend to start walking before doing so.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-27-03, 07:28 AM	Tharivious turns and looks at Igy as he hears the question and comment. "Precisely. I am no longer part of this plane, despite growing up here. I cannot allow myself to interfere in their day to day lives on a large scale. Dealing with one or two individuals like Nugan is one thing, but an entire city would be too great an effect. My former home-world is no longer my concern." He looks down a bit as he turns and resumes walking, heading towards the plane's adjoining point, the realms of Deep Shadow. He thinks to himself along the way, shaking his head slightly. . o O ( ~closed to all means of detection~ Indeed I cannot interfere further, it's bad enough what I've already imparted on this world when I could; best to leave it be now, to avoid bringing more pain to the world and its people.... )
Barra'rrorrok 12-27-03, 07:45 AM	Barra'rrorrok pads after his master, hanging his head down and sniffing the ground as he walks as many dogs do. He growls a bit as he catches a scent and takes off, bounding forward in the direction they were already going; his ears bouncing as he runs at full pace.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-27-03, 07:50 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj nods a bit in response to Tharivious's words and walks onward, arching a brow ridge as he sees Barra taking off. "Looks like he's on to something, should we try to keep up with him?"
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-27-03, 07:57 AM	Tharivious chuckles a bit and shakes his head as he watches Barra'rrorrok run off. He looks up at Igy and nods. "We'd best hurry, you know how fast that mastiff can run on this plane. Let's get moving." He shakes his head once more as he begins to gradually walk faster, his steps speeding until he reaches a dead run, normally nearly twice that of a normal member of his race, and much faster on this plane.
Igyvasfaxavaj 12-27-03, 08:04 AM	Igyvasfaxavaj nods and begins to run as well, flapping his wings a few times before jumping upward and taking flight. He swoops low and tilts his shoulders toward Tharivious. "Hop up, we'll travel faster if I carry you." The dragon keeps steady and level as he glides alongside his running friend.
Tharivious_Meliamne 12-27-03, 08:10 AM	Tharivious nods and runs up a small rock that has formed as a mirror of one of the town's statues, leaping up into the air as he reaches the top. Clearing Igy's wings he lands safely on the dragon's shoulders and settles into place between the massive wing shoulders as he lets Igy follow Barra. "Good call, let's hope he's not just chasing another rabbit like last time." And so Tharivious, Igyvasfaxavaj, and Barra'rrorrok leave the guildhall area and *****'s portion of the Plane of Shadow behind for now.
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 08:16 AM	The still invisible drow silently snickers to himself as he watches Megan's "troops" gather around Nocturan. . o O ( Such futiiity....Only a foolish and petty bloodbag would think to send such pathetic beings against one like that metal-skinned-freak of nature....And even at that, only one who is foolish enough to have such troops at their disposal would have them to waste to begin with.... )
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 08:25 AM	Nocturan chuckles as he hears Straak's comment even as his left claw is swinging forward for the catlord's gut. "I know, right? Ahh well, a fight's a fight, even if it's also going to be a brutal, brutal massacre." As he speaks, the chains across his form animate and lengthen, one lashing out toward the child and the goat, each one aimed to wrap tightly around their throats.
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 08:38 AM	The drow snarls silently as he refocuses on Megan's left shoulder, right next to where her heart should be. His hearing keys into her pulse as he concentrates and brings the hook forward in a powerful swing with his undead strength. The tip of the hook is aimed for her left shoulder, just above the shoulder blade and angled to latch it behind the bone. The cruel fleshtearing barbs gleam in the light as the weapon is the first thing to become visible once more as the Invisibility spell wears off with the attack, followed by the drow in a wave from his arm to his feet.
A Homeless Child 12-27-03, 06:43 PM	The homeless child is knocked to the floor, coughing, by the wind from Nocturan's wings. The chain whips over his fallen body, missing him. "That's *cough* not *cough* fair *cough,cough*."
A Goat 12-27-03, 06:47 PM	The goat ducks Nocturan's chain, waits for it to hit the ground, and begins chewing on it. o0(Mmm... Chain.)
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-27-03, 06:55 PM	Sexlovious butt, fall. "Not win!" Sexlovious up, swing steel Nocturan.
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 07:03 PM	Megan rolls her eyes at the fight. "Yep, I'm screwed..." Megan spins towards the Trophy room and takes a step foward only to come face to face with Xerneth just as his hook comes down, tearing open the inside of her left arm by the shoulder. She stumbles backwards. "Oh :censored:..."
Straak 12-27-03, 07:12 PM	Straak nods to Megan, taking a step towards her. "Yah... That seems about, ya know, right..."
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-27-03, 07:19 PM	Mr. Wracod growls. "Cover story?! What the hell do you mean 'cover story', boy?! Your whole :censored:ing thief hole building blew :censored:ing sky-high! And you're trying to :censored:ing tel me its a cover story?!"
Nugan 12-27-03, 07:28 PM	Nugan shrugs and gestures towards the Guildhall. "Oh, and doesn't it just look like it was recently blown sky-high? I mean, damn, who's in charge of your urban reconstruction program, Artificer Nathan? ... Listen Dad, if you're going to try to lay the blame on me for some sort of state soponsored massacre, just tell me. Its not like the people are gonna take my word over yours anyway..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 07:35 PM	Nocturan growls at the catlord. "That's about right, you will not win." He moves to block the swing with a backhanded left claw blade but misses by a few inches, the sword slamming into his side and leaving a deep slice. Thick black oil-blood begins to seep from the wound as Nocturan looks down, then back up to Sexlovious, shaking his head slowly. "Alright... Now you've made me angry." He retracts the right handed claw blade so that the tips rest behind his knuckles, balls his hand up into a massive fist and coils it back before aiming a hard punch for the catlord's face, putting all of his weight behind it.
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 07:45 PM	The cloaked drow grins, his pearl white fangs just barely visible beneath the shadows of his hood as he takes slow, methodical steps toward Megan. The silver scalpel twirls slowly in his hand, leaving a trail of light as the reflective metal gleams in its circular path. He holds up the now bloodied hook and grins as his glowing red eyes focus on the crimson liquid coating the weapon and his grin seems to widen as he speaks, "One has felt the sting of pain, as brought upon by terror's reign. Before I'm done you'll see the light, for agony will rule by the end of night."
Megan Olliever 12-27-03, 07:51 PM	Megan takes a step backwards, holding her wound with her right arm. She points at X and looks to the genie. "You know... I really wish you'd get rid of him for me..."
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-27-03, 07:55 PM	Sexlovious hit, collapse. "Lizard hit! Pain!" Sexlovious cry, woman.
Straak 12-27-03, 08:05 PM	Straak looks at Nocturan and Megan's defeated followers, and smiles. "Yah... That was, ya know, fast." Straak turns to Megan. "Yah... Looks like ya're kinda, ya know, surrounded."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 08:07 PM	Nocturan looks down at the collapsed catlord and smirks as he goes to tap him with his foot. "Aww, come on, get up. I wanted a decent fight...." Nocturan growls, getting annoyed and angered a bit. "It's up to you kitty, either get up on your own or I make you get up. I'd take option one if I were you."
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-27-03, 08:14 PM	Sexlovious weep. "No hurt more! Leave alone!"
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 08:20 PM	The drow grins at Megan as he steps closer once more, "You wish for this to end, by asking that freakish friend, to make me go away, but your pain is here to stay. The end will come in time, when the bell for thee will chime, and then you shall know, just why the blood must flow." He lunges forward with the scalpel, aiming it in a cross level slash at Megan's stomach with the razor-like blade. He keeps the hook held back as he snarls at her, his fangs clearly gleaming within the darkness of his hood.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-27-03, 08:29 PM	Nocturan snarls and moves to drag Sexlovious up to his feet by the collar, a low reptilian growl resounding from his metal throat. "Fine, guess things have to go the hard way then." He then aims to raise his kneecap directly into the catlord's gut with as much strength as he can, hoping to double him over but leave him standing.
The Penris Genie 12-27-03, 08:33 PM	The Penris genie looks at Megan and shrugs, then nods. "I can try..." Rolling up his sleeves, he turns to X and waves his hands wildly. White light starts to creep from them towards X..
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 10:43 PM	The drow recoils from the light, backpeddaling several steps as he dras his left hand up to cover his face, "Foolish bastards....You'll all fall before the wrath of pain and the terror of agony...." He drops the scalpel and reaches beneath his cloak, drawing forth his unholy symbol and beginning to mutter calmly and coldly in a blend of drowic and abyssal languages.
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 10:52 PM	Taragon looks over his shoulder and then turns around and stares at X. "Hmm, he's :censored::censored::censored::censored: :censored::censored:....I think we should wait up in the ship One Stomp.."
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 11:05 PM	The drow growls low in his blended language as his symbol begins to glow with an unholy light. A viper falls to the ground beneath his cloak, followed by another, and another still as he continues to recoil from the light. As the vipers leave his shadow, they begin to grow larger, being tiny at first and gradually increasing in size.
Taragon the Yellow 12-27-03, 11:10 PM	Taragon jumps up and grabs onto the rope, pulling himself up into the ship. Once inside, he motions to One Stomp. "Hurry up, that drow guy looks like he's about to Jack the Rip up some flesh and it could very well be yours.."
One Stomp of the Foot 12-27-03, 11:12 PM	One Stomp nods and scurries up the rope and into the craft.
Xerneth Karjen 12-27-03, 11:35 PM	The drow growls again, almost rising into a hiss as still more vipers fall to the floor and slither around him. The mass of writhing serpents at his feet grows thicker and larger by the second, each one growing to a length of nearly six feet.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-28-03, 11:14 PM	Mr. Wracod kicks over the wooden barrier between him and Nugan. "Listen boy, I'm not going to listen to any more of your :censored:ing snide bull:censored: tonight! Why can't you give your own damn father the truth atleast after you destroyed him?!"
Nugan 12-28-03, 11:22 PM	Nugan stares blankly at his father for a momment. "Wait... This isn't some attempt to pass blame on Apathy, is it? You're actually telling the truth... But then... How... Great..." Nugan hurries past Mr. Wracod, heading towards the Guildhall. Sorry Dad... I've gotta run... No worries though, I'm sure you'll get another chance to explain to me how all of your life failure, from Mom's drinking to your weight problem is my fault..."
Megan Olliever 12-28-03, 11:40 PM	Megan shivers and backs away from the snakes. "Okay, now I wish you'd get rid of all those snakes..."
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-28-03, 11:46 PM	Sexlovious beat. "You hurt unneccessary!"
Straak 12-28-03, 11:51 PM	Straak watches the snakes, stepping backwards. "Yah... That was, ya know, unexpected..."
The Penris Genie 12-29-03, 12:03 AM	The genie nods and waves his hands and a bright white light starts to encircle the snakes.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-29-03, 12:45 AM	Nocturan smirks as he leans foward, speaking as he begins his next move. "If you think that hurts, just wait..." He moves to wrap his arms around the catlord's waist while facing him as he should be doubled over. If this grab is successful, Nocturan will proceed to lift and rotate Sexlovious over his shoulder, putting pressure on the spine in a backbreaker hold.
Xerneth Karjen 12-29-03, 01:19 AM	The drow watches with a dark grin as the light touches the snakes and causes them to glow and shift form. In moments, the snakes turn into small grey rats that begin to squeek and chatter as their heads look around. He chuckles darkly as the rats begin to scurry about, several of them heading toward Megan and the genie, with a few more running toward the ones involved in the battle across the room.
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 10:30 PM	Megan rolls her eyes and backs up farther,looking at the Genie. "And now the rats too, please..."
Taragon the Yellow 12-29-03, 10:34 PM	Taragon becomes bored on the ship and decides to cloak himself with invisibility and head back down into the guildhall to watch the fight. He shimmies down the rope and stands over in a corner watching X. o.0 (Mmm gratuitous violence...and arrousal...but mostly violence..)
Straak 12-29-03, 10:37 PM	Straak taps Megan on the back as she nearly backs into him. "Yah... Hi."
The Penris Genie 12-29-03, 10:42 PM	The genie flails his arms around again, sending more steams of white light at the rats. He sighs. "I don't think it's working..."
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-29-03, 10:43 PM	Sexlovious pain. "Why hurt?! Why?!"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-29-03, 10:48 PM	Nocturan growls as he tightens the grip around the catlord's waist and hops a bit to apply more pressure onto his spine. "Why? Because I feel like it... that's why. And because I'm in a :censored: off mood right about now. How's that for a 'Why?', huh?" He continues to move about, shaking his grip a bit to make the edge of his shoulder meet the middle of the catman's lower back as he slowly steps toward the table.
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 10:50 PM	Megan spins around to face Straak, then she looks at the rats behind her, then at her 'guildmates', then at Nocturan, and then at Straak again. "Oh gods, I couldn't be any more screwed..."
Nugan 12-29-03, 10:56 PM	Nugan stands in the Guildhall doorway, smirking. "Aww... We forgot to knock on wood, didn't we Megs?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-29-03, 10:58 PM	Taragon smirks and rubs his hands together, still invisible. o.0 ( I think you could missy...I think you could...)
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 11:00 PM	Megan looks at Nugan and blinks. "N-n-nugan...."
Xerneth Karjen 12-29-03, 11:00 PM	The drow snarls as he watches the light and the rats, who hold their tenuous grip on this plane for the moment, though a few blink out showing that there isn't much magic left to hold them here. He raises the scalpel again and throws it at Megan, causing the razor edged blade to spin like a silver disc as it flies toward her as he mutters something under his breath, "We'll see about that...."
Nugan 12-29-03, 11:06 PM	Nugan continues smirking. "Now that oe almost sounded authentic Megs... You wouldn't be surprised to see me in my own Guildhall... Would y-What's this?" Nugan narrows his eyes at Megan';s name on his chair. "You do understand that chair is just symbolic, right? It holds no actual magic control over the Guild... Although it is secretly stuffed just slightly more than the other Guildmembers chairs... And, on an unrelated note, Straak's is stuffed slightly less..."
Straak 12-29-03, 11:10 PM	Straak looks at the floor and sighs a little. "Yah... Ya coulda jus', ya know, asked Boss..."
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 11:13 PM	Megan shakes her head. "Its not just the chair Nugan... The whole Guild is mine. Ask the Genie. I wished for it, and he gave it to me... Tell him Genie."
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-29-03, 11:16 PM	Sexlovious hurt, cry. "No want die! Want live! Want rock woman!"
The Penris Genie 12-29-03, 11:19 PM	The genie looks at Nugan and nods slowly. "She's right...she wished for it, I granted it.."
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 12-29-03, 11:21 PM	Bandit pushes open his cieling hatch and crawls onto the Guildhall's rafters. He scurries to the edge of the beam, and peers down at the Guildhall's occupants.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-29-03, 11:22 PM	Nocturan smirks and growls as he speaks. "Don't worry, you'll probably live. I can't gaurantee that you'll walk again though." He takes the last step up to the table and sets his feet in place as he shifts his grip to the catlord's arms, repositioning him to settle the weight differently. Once he gets him in place, he pushes upward on the arms and then forward, aiming to spike him back first into the tabletop.
The Penris Genie 12-29-03, 11:23 PM	(( ooooops double post!!! wtf :cool: :mad: ))
Nugan 12-29-03, 11:27 PM	Nugan chuckles and shakes his head. "Megs, Megs, Megs... Let me see if I follow... I'm supposed to believe that my thieves guild is yours because the chair and the genie say so? Yeah... Right... I know what this is really about anyway... Its about that 'bonus' you wanted for your services that I wouldn't agree to, isn't it Megs?"
Straak 12-29-03, 11:30 PM	Straak furrows his brow and looks at Nugan. "Yah... Bonus? I never heard bout a, ya know, bonus..."
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 11:34 PM	Megan glares at Nugan. "I have no :censored:ing idea what you're talking about..." Megan winces and stumbles foward a step as a scapel sink into the back of her left leg. ":censored:! I forgot about him..."
Nugan 12-29-03, 11:40 PM	Nugan smirks. "Well Straak... That's because she thought it best to ask for it in private. Thought it would be less uncomfortable that way... Unfortunately, I was as "easy" about handing out bonuses as she would like... Was I Megs? Now she's bitter, unsatisfied, and her ego's hurt. That's what's behind all this."
Straak 12-29-03, 11:43 PM	Straak stares blankly at Nugan and Megan. "Yah Boss... I don't think I, ya know, understand..."
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 11:48 PM	Megan squirms in pain on the floor. "Bull:censored:! Don't listen to him! He's full of :censored:!
Nugan 12-29-03, 11:51 PM	Nugan smirks down at Megan. "Well Straak... Let's just say that I refused to 'visit her Guildhall', so she decided to steal mine..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-29-03, 11:52 PM	The drow snarls at Megan and slowly steps torwards her, the free and uncontrolled rats fleeing from his unnatural prescence in fear. He reaches back into his cloak and withdraws a wickedly shaped dagger with several serrations and other cutouts and bloodgrooves along its length. He grins as he holds the blade up, letting the light reflect off of its unusual red metal and the black wooden handle as he mutters calmly, "What was forgotten has been rethought, and soon such things shall be for naught, for now it is time to end this game, prepare to feel agony's flame."
Biantium 12-29-03, 11:52 PM	A young woman with strange half blue/black hair and light grey colored skin steps through the trophy room portal. She is dressed in a long white tunic-jacket with various buttons running down its center, and a pair of baggy white trousers. A shortsword as sheathed at her side, and a long metal staff rests in her hand. Dragging behind her in a small cart is the partially decomposed corpse of a man. Glancing around the room she spots Nugan and Straak and waves to them with a smile. "Hey there, Nugan, Straak, Noc...other people..."
Straak 12-29-03, 11:54 PM	Straak continues to stare blankly. "Yah... I still don't, ya kno-Ohhh... Ewww!" Straak shudders.
Megan Olliever 12-29-03, 11:58 PM	Megan looks up at X and sighs. "Whatever... I've been disgraced enough... I'm ready to go..."
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 12:03 AM	Taragon fades back into view briefly and taps Megan on the shoulder, then points up at the rope leading up to the ship. "You're ready then?"
Sexlovious the Catlord 12-30-03, 12:03 AM	Sexlovious shatter. "Break rock... Lose respect, will live..." Sexlovious lose consious.
Nugan 12-30-03, 12:06 AM	Nugan holds up his hand and looks to Xerneth. "Mind passing on her X? I'd rather not see her go right now..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 12:09 AM	Nocturan breaks out laughing at the fallen Sexlovious. His laughter has a distinctly reptilian tone to it along with a notable metallic resonance. He turns away from his unconscious foe and looks at the homeless child and the goat as he rolls his shoulders and flexes his arms a bit. Snarling at the two, he extends one hand, palm facing the cieling, and motions them forward. "Now.... Which one of you wants to be the hero?"
Straak 12-30-03, 12:12 AM	Straak looks over at Biantium. "Yah... Hi Biantium... Ya're jus' in, ya know, time..." Straak winces as Sexlovious loses consiousness. "Yah.... Ow."
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 12:14 AM	Taragon chuckles at Nocturan and looks down at the fallen Sexlovious. "Damn, I haven't seen someone beat like that since Lord Branogan's wife didn't get his dinner to him on time.."
A Goat 12-30-03, 12:15 AM	The Goat looks up at Nocturan, and lets his chain fall from his mouth. He spins around and trots out of the Guildhall as fast as he can. o0(Mmmm.... Not dying.)
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 12:17 AM	The drow looks to Nugan and nods a bit, "As long as the foolish little girl suffers pain; be it physical or mental, all is well as far as I, and Grevad are concerned....Do what you will with the silly little thing." He replaces the dagger beneath his cloak and grins down at Megan as he speaks once more, "You have been saved from me, but are far from free. Perhaps your shame can compare to pain."
A Homeless Child 12-30-03, 12:23 AM	The homeless child struggles to his feet, and picks up his dagger. "I'm not *cough, cough* afraid of *cough* you!" The child makes a wild swing for Nocturan, missed by a mile, and collapses in a new coughing fit. He grabs his chest with his hands in an attempt to supress it, forgetting the dagger in his hand, and accidentally stabs himself. He moans and falls on the floor. "My *cough* kidney... Now I *cough,cough* couldn't eat if I *cough* had *cough* food..."
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 12:26 AM	Taragon kicks at the homeless child as he falls down and laughs. "What's wrong coughy? Prick yourself by accident?"
Biantium 12-30-03, 12:31 AM	Biantium looks over at the homeless child coughing and smirks. "Man this place sure has become pretty :censored::censored::censored::censored: ed up, kids on the floor coughing up a lung, strange gray bug things, and somebody else running Apathy...not that i'm entitled to talk about :censored::censored::censored::censored: ed up..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 12:36 AM	Nocturan walks over to the kid and steps into place. He looks down at him as he sets one foot at each side of his body and balls his massive hands into two huge fists. He takes a deep growling breath as he stares down at the fallen child and smirks. "Maybe I forgot to mention.... I hate heroes." With that, he raises one fist back and aims a full force punch for the child's ribcage, coming in at an angle from the right.
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 12:49 AM	Taragon steps over to the kid lying on the ground and smiles. Pulling up his robes, he urinates all over him with a stream of yellow brown liquid that seems to turn on instantaneously and continue constantly for more than a minute. "I bestow upon you the blessings of The Bastard...shazzambo. Now maybe you'll have better luck finding something to eat."
Megan Olliever 12-30-03, 01:08 AM	Megan blinks at Nugan, and stares blankly up at him for a momment. "Why..." Megan suddemly beams, climbs to her feet, and limbs over to Nugan, embtacing him. "I knew it! I knew you loved me! You didn't have to hide it..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 01:10 AM	Nocturan blinks as the liquid aimed at the child gets on his hand as well. He growls as he looks up at Taragon and turns his head in place, causing his neck to pop loudly as steam vents from his throat. He stands back up to his full height as he was still leaning down from aiming the punch and looks directly at Taragon as he speaks. "Do you mind telling me just what in the Nine damn Hells you think you're doing?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 01:11 AM	Taragon looks up at Nocturan and laughs. "Well, if you hadn't gotten your hand in the way..."
Straak 12-30-03, 01:13 AM	Straak looks from Nocturan to the Homeless child and back again as Nocturan readies his punch, grimacing. "Yah... Nocturan..." Straak can't hold himself back, and grabs at the child and tries to pull him away just as Nocturan's punch falls. "Ya know... Sorry..."
A Homeless Child 12-30-03, 01:21 AM	The child is pulled away from the punch, leaving a trail of various bodily fluids in his wake. "Thank *cough* you."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 01:21 AM	Nocturan snarls at Straak. "You're gonna hear about this later gecko." Then turns back to Taragon. "You know, I was having fun. Just playing around really. Even getting that damn sword in my side, didn't really bother me much. But you.... You crossed the godsdamned line." Nocturan lets out a low growl as his claw blades extend with a resonating clang, the two feet of metal extending beyond his still clenched fists as he takes a step toward Taragon.
Nugan 12-30-03, 01:26 AM	Nugan returns Megan's embrace, still smirking, as he slides his hands down her side. "Megs, Megs, Megs... How could I not love you..."
George Washington's Ghost 12-30-03, 01:29 AM	A middle aged man dressed in a blue long button up coat, a pair of tan breaches and a pair of riding boots steps through the wall of the guildhall. "Lets party like its 1776 my 8 figga :censored:'s!" He snaps his fingers and a group of women, all dressed in regal 17th century garb, appear in various places around the room. Two of them head over to Washington, hoist him onto their shoulders and carry him to the center of the room, where a large disco ball is spinning suspended in the air. Loud rock music starts blaring from all parts of the guildhall.
Straak 12-30-03, 01:30 AM	Straak hangs his head. "Yah... Sorry Nocturan. I don't know what, ya know, got into me...." Straak overhears Nugan and spins to look at him and Megan. His mouth hangs open as he watches. "Yah... Boss?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 01:32 AM	Taragon spins around and looks at the ghostly man dancing in the center of the room. "Hey i've seen that guy before...he was at McHawke's palace a while ago doing something like this. He must cater parties or something."
Megan Olliever 12-30-03, 01:35 AM	Megan smiles and leans into Nugan as the party begins. "Aww Nuggy, its dancing music..." Megan giggles as Nugan's hands move south. "Careful Nuggy."
Biantium 12-30-03, 01:36 AM	Biantium turns to look at the sudden happenings in the room. Suddenly, the dead body she's carrying in her small wagon jumps up, heads for the center of the room and starts break dancing. Biantium watches it go and sighs. "Damn, I spent three hours finding his grave and digging him up so that I could have my way with him..."
Biantium 12-30-03, 01:40 AM	Biantium sees Nugan and Megan getting touchy feely and shakes her head, muttering to herself. o.0 ( Man, he'd never let ME get that close to him...that little tramp.. )
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 01:45 AM	Nocturan growls at Taragon and aims to tap him on the shoulder with the tip of a claw blade. "Forgetting something, are we?" Regardless of whether Taragon turns around or not, Nocturan then aims a solid uppercut with his left claw blade, aimed at a depth that would just cause a slice across the skin, nothing really deep; basically a warning swipe.
Straak 12-30-03, 01:46 AM	Straak looks at the party then to Nugan and Megan, and sighs. "Yah... I'm jus' not in tha, ya know, dancin' mood right now..."
Taragon the Yellow 12-30-03, 01:50 AM	Taragon spins around to look at Nocturan and as he does, his uppercut slams into his chin, sending him flying backwards through the air and into a wall. He sinks to the ground and moans. "Oh man...what was that for? Damn, its only urine.."
Nugan 12-30-03, 01:57 AM	Nugan slips his hand into Megan's belt, and pulls out Nathan's item. He takes a step back, smirking. "Oh right, I remember how I couldn't love you now... You're a :censored:."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 01:57 AM	The drow scowls darkly at the sight of the disco ball and hisses as it drives him back into a corner, "Put it out! Put it out!" He hisses and cringes as smoke begins to wisp out from the hood of his cloak.
Megan Olliever 12-30-03, 02:03 AM	Megan glares at Nugan. "You bastard..." Megan looks down at the item in Nugan's hand and laughs deliriously. "So that's where your preferences lie? I knew it..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 02:07 AM	Nocturan growls low, the loud reptilian rumble noticable above the music as he walks forward, following the path that Taragon staggered through toward the wall. "'Only? Only?!? Listen buddy.... you picked a bad day to mistake my hand for an out-house.... I haven't had any ale in going on an hour and a half, I had to deal with those numbskull followers of that blond twit over there, and then the kobold decides to be a hero and protect that damn kid. Guess what? I'm in a bad mood!" He steps forward again, his eyeridge twitching some showing that his anger is really building up.
Straak 12-30-03, 02:09 AM	Straak blinks at Nugan. "Yah... So that was all a... ya know... yah..." Straak trails off into a laugh of relief.
Nugan 12-30-03, 02:20 AM	Nugan chuckles. "Aww Megs, tdon't be hurt... I told you that you didn't have to take the job this far with Nathan... Remember? The consequences are all your doing." Nugan holds up the 'lamp', and turns to the genie. "Now, all powerful resident of Nathan's weakest regions... I wish I had my guild back."
The Penris Genie 12-30-03, 02:28 AM	The Penris genie reemerges from his lamp to find himself in Nugan's hands. He looks at Nugan, then back to Megan and shrugs. "Sorry Meg, I guess I'm under new management now..." White light starts to flow from his hands and onto Nugan, then begins swirling about in the air of the room.
Megan Olliever 12-30-03, 02:39 AM	Megan watches as her name disappears from the chair and is repolaced with Nugan's. "But... But... But..." Megan is struck by the light, and knocked off her feet. She's digs her fingernails into the floor as the light drags her out of the Guildhall. "Nugan, you :censored:! Have fun with Nathan's :censored:... But don't forget what you could've had in its place!"
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 02:41 AM	(( just picture a beard on the avitar pic, make it more translucent, and you got The Ghost of the old hermit)) OH floats through the door of the guild hall With a merry cheer "Grandson!! Im Hoooooome" just as he yells this megan is draged through him "What the? aww.. i missed another party?"
Nugan 12-30-03, 02:45 AM	Nugan waves to Megan. "Good luck Megs." Nugan wipes away an invisible tear. "There goes the most talented leader that Apathy has ever had..."
Straak 12-30-03, 02:52 AM	Straak smiles to Megan. "Yah... See ya." Straak blinks as he spots the hermit's ghost. "Yah... Hi Hermit... Aren't ya a bit, ya know, insubstantial?"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 02:55 AM	Nocturan raises a hand as if he's going to aim a punch at Taragon, but stops as he spots the translucent spirit of the hermit. "Gramps? What the hell happened to you? You're all... translucent and whatnot...."
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 02:55 AM	"whats that my little dwarven friend? insubstantial? ohh.. what with the suddenly being able to float and walk through things.. yes.. its a bit odd.. i guess i have achived greatness after that fight with the squid guy.. I find i tend to be driven from taverns by clerics also.. they must not like my new awsom power.. their jelous.."
Megan Olliever 12-30-03, 02:56 AM	Megan is pulled, screaming, out oif the Guildhall and into the air outside. She's thrown across the street into Mr. Wracod's carriage. The carriage door slams shut behind her, and the horses take off running. They pass through the barricade and out of sight.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-30-03, 03:07 AM	Nugan Sr kicks a discarded helm across the street as he watches his carriage drive off. "That's :censored:ing it! Boy!" Mr. Wracod charges across the street towards the Guildhall.
Nugan 12-30-03, 03:22 AM	Nugan turns to the hermit. "Uh... Gramps... Hate to break this to you, but... Wait, why am I trying again? Yeah, must be alot of envy for your awesome powers... I mean, its not like any other explaination fits the facts better... Like, say, that you were a ghost... Then again, at your age, you were always basically the living dead anyway, so I guess its no biggie."
Straak 12-30-03, 03:36 AM	Straak looks at the floor. "Yah... Awesome powers... That must be, ya know, it..."
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 03:42 AM	"well.. My newfound gratness aside, Arnt ya glad ta see me!" OH flys quickly to try and hug his grandson
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 03:44 AM	Nocturan shaeks his head a bit and turns away from Tagaon completely, walking over to the others. Any remaining rats run from his presence not wanting to get caught under his feet. He looks around the guildhall, and finally to the doors. "Where the hell is that guard I told to get me my ale? I'm gonna go track his sorry arse down if it doesn't get here soon...."
Nugan 12-30-03, 03:50 AM	Nugan shudders as the hermit passes through him. "Yeah... Gramps... You're awesome powers have made the whole hugging thing even more painful for me... What with the freezing cold spot inside you and all..." Nugan glances to Nocturan as he hears someone slamming on the door. "Maybe that's him now Noc... He seems kinda irked though..."
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 03:54 AM	the hermit wails sadly "With my awsome power comes the curse of not being able to hug my loved ones! Whhyyyyy!!... i guess i must do something very special with theis powers.. hmm... but what crises needs resolving.."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 03:57 AM	Nocturan growls and moves over to the door quickly, turning the handle and swining it open, glaring down at the one behind it and speaking loudly in an annoyed voice. "Well it's about damned time you lazy bastard, get in here with my ale...." He gets through the sentence before seeing the man behind the door's identity, which is when his eyes narrow a bit.
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-30-03, 04:00 AM	Mr. Wracod growls on the other side of the doorway. "Lazy bastard?! Listen Boy's bigger lizard... I'm not sure who the :censored: you think you're talking to, but I don't think he has fifty gaurds under his command a few feet away who already brutalized their own citizens for no good reason, and wouldn't think twice about doing it to an actual crminal. Now get out off my damn way, I got a son to kill."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 04:07 AM	Nocturan growls right back as he points one of his still extended claw blades right at Mr. Wracod's face. "One old man I thought I was talking to one of your lazy-arse guards who was supposed to be delivering my godsdamned ale here. Two, I don't give a rat's arse if you want to kill Nugan, hell I'll help your elderly carcass dispose of the body, and three when I came up against that barricade of guards, they back the hell down like smart individuals would do." He points to where Sexlovious lies unconcsious in the shattered table. "That's what happens to people who don't back down, get me? Now, go kill your son and shut the hell up!"
Nugan 12-30-03, 04:15 AM	Nugan smirks. "Yeah Gramps... Its a tragedy, really... Guess I'll just have to cope with an old-man hug-free existence... I can feel the depression sinking in alkready... Wait, that wes already there... Nevermind." Nugan spins towards his father when he hears his yelling. "What's it now Dad? Realize that my Mom's screams during my birth caused you some kind of permenant hearing lose which in turn resulted in your need to yell everything? Cause that'd explain your behavior on two levels..."
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 04:16 AM	"Good ol' mecha newt.. havnt changed a bit from your ever loving self eh?"
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-30-03, 04:24 AM	Mr. Wracod glares at Nocturan. "Fine. Let me through then, and we'll-What the hell is that?" Mr. Wracod looks past Nocturan at the partying ghosts.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 04:28 AM	Nocturan smirks at Mr. Wracod. "I just said go ahead and kill the little weasel, so go ahead....." He steps to the side and makes a very mocking bowing motion to Mr. Wracod as he does, motioning sarcastically over toward Nugan. "Sir." He stands back up and mutter under his breath. "Mammalian primate filth...."
Straak 12-30-03, 04:28 AM	Straak looks back at the ghosts. "Yah.... I don't know... I completely, ya know, forgot about them..."
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 04:29 AM	OH begins a conversation with himself.. aperantly "Ewww.. ghosts are icky things.. so cruel and such.. Coincedentaly i woke up this morning, i had aparantly been asleep but i dont remember when i went to bed.. much less in the middle of a field with no shelter.. but yah, woke up and had an urge to kill slaughter and otherwise maim any and all who bothered me.. so i came here to be with my cheery dear grandson!"
Nugan 12-30-03, 04:32 AM	Nugan shrugs, smirking. "I'm not sure, but I'd ask Mom. I bet she sees this every Saturday night..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 04:38 AM	Nocturan smirks at the ghost party and shakes his head a bit. "Oh that? Yeah... don't know. But that damn disco ball is realling :censored: me off right about now...." He slowly stomps his way over and looks up at it, hoping to figure out a way to get rid of it.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 04:42 AM	OH zones out for a second then sneeks up to observe noc from under a table or simaler object "If we watch quitly we can observe as the wild Meachik Nutacus learns how to get over the boundrys of hight.. fascanating.. so human like in its intelegence.."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 04:49 AM	The drow continues to hiss for a moment in the light of the disco ball, then turns to face his back to it. He reaches under his cloak and pulls out a solid black mask and slips it on over his face, followed by a pair of thick leather gloves. Once full concealed, he turns back and growls at the mirrored light as he reaches for his unholy symbol, "That's it... That thing has to go right now..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 05:02 AM	Nocturan growls at the annoying light and lengthens one of the chains hanging across his form to an amount that will reach. He tosses the chain backwards and eyes the sphere of mirrors, aiming his weapon slowly and calmly before growling and lashing the chain forward, swinging it directly at the disco ball , the spiked tips of this chain set at a level dead center of the sphere and hoping that it works.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 05:05 AM	Oh floats over to nocy "Ohh.. now your just cheating"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 09:11 PM	Nocturan spins to face the ghost of the hermit and snarls. "Who gives a damn? It doesn't matter how it becomes gone, as long as it does." Unfortunately, as he turns, he causes his chain to miss the disco ball and come crashing down toward the floor beneath it.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 09:16 PM	the old one flys around Noccy a bit "You miiised" he says tauntingly "Dont you know to ignore distractions in the heat of battle? naughty Mecha newt. no desert for you.."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 09:18 PM	The drow snarls as he walks forward toward the mirrored ball and looks up, just in time for Nocturan's chain to come crashing down into his shoulder. The impact of the blow knocks the drow to his knees momentarily before he stands and glares at the mecha-lizard, "Imputant reptilian freak....Pay more attention when swinging that damnable weapon of yours....Perhaps you need to learn that for yourself...." The drow redraws the wicked looking hook into his right hand and his unholy symbol into the left as he steps toward Nocturan.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 09:22 PM	The ghost flys over to Xernith "Now now boys.. it was Totaly intentional! Yar!" OH Flys up to lay in mid air near the disco ball and watch them fight
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 09:27 PM	Nocturan growls at the hermit's ghost. "Remind me to get an exorcist in the morning....." He looks back at X and snarls a bit. "Listen fang face.... I haven't had any ale in a while, and I've been in a :censored: off mood all day. So I suggest that you put that little hook away before you get dusted."
Nugan Wracod Sr 12-30-03, 09:31 PM	Mr. Wracod stares, mesmerized , into the room. "Listen boy..." Nugan Sr shakes imself and growls. "Screw it! I've had enough of this :censored: for tonight. I'm not going to forget this boy. Don't can't just keep harrassing your own parents like this. I have limits to my patience." Mr. Wracod spins around, and slams the Guildhall doors shut before charging off.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 09:32 PM	"I dont think you can exorsize vampiers... but im not sure.."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 09:38 PM	The drow snarls at Nocturan, "Yes, and I have been robbed of the chance for true bloodshed tonight for far too long. Should you choose to step into that path, feel free to do so, but it will your oil blood spilt on the floor and I'll not think twice to see it done." He takes another step forward and his unholy symbol glows a faint green as he steadies the hook in his hand.
Nugan 12-30-03, 09:45 PM	Nugan sighs in relief and drops into his seat. "Well, there's a line I'll never get tired of hearing... Oh Straak, I got a job for you..." Nugan throws Nathan's item to Straak. "Go lock that back up in the Trophy Room so it won't cause further harm to the fabric of reality... or Nathan's right hand."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 09:49 PM	Nocturan growls and his claw blades retract and extend again with loud clangs as he takes a step toward X. He shakes his head a bit as he speaks in a low voice. "You picked a bad day. I had no problem with you before, but you just made one." Those words said, Nocturan reels back a hand, rectracts the claw blade and aims his massive fist in a hard right punch at X's face.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 09:50 PM	The hermit ghost Floats over to nugan in a posture as if he were on a bed "so.. whats new Gs? playing with dismebered.. items is your new hobby?"
Straak 12-30-03, 09:57 PM	Straak catches the 'item', and shivers a little. "Yah... Eww... This is gonna be an uncomfortable, ya know, job..." Straak smiles. "Yah... Its good to be, ya know, home." Straak hurries into the portal to the Trophy Room.
Nugan 12-30-03, 10:03 PM	Nugan chuckles at the Hermit. "You know Gramps, I think the most awesome power you gained while you were gone was 'wit'..." Nugan glances at Nocturan and Xerneth. "Now, if only we could spread that ability to the rest of Apathy..."
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 10:09 PM	oh floats to a siting posistion next to Nugan. he watches the fight for a bit then creeps his arm behind his 'grandson'. After a moment he thrusts his fist into nugans chest area and wiggles his fingers while chuckling
Nugan 12-30-03, 10:11 PM	Nugan shudders as the hermit's had penates he chest. He pulls back and smirks at the hermit. "Well now I just feel violated..."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 10:14 PM	The drow is hammered by the huge fist and knocked falt down to the ground from the force of impact. His hood falls back and reveals the full covering black mask, including protective lenses over his eyes. His jaw is seen to be moving beneath the cover, showing that it was likely dislodged by the punch, "That's it, you have gone far too long not knowing simple manners you foolish reptile." The drow mutters and raises a hand, sending a burst of force at the mecha lizard aimed to knock him back. As the spell is cast, the drow raises to his feet with a sneer vaguely showing in the mask.
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 10:17 PM	the hermit flys over to sit behind the vamp "Yar! Go.. umm. Whoever you are!" the old one smiles
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 10:23 PM	Nocturan growls as he is buffeted by the burst of force and his feet slide back a bit as the chains are moved backwards. The bulk of his body, however, seems largely unaffected. He smirks and taps the built in metal chest plate. "Forget something? Like the fact that I'm a damn golem?" He tries to step forward, but finds that he can't quite move because of the effect the force is having on his chain armor coating, which is swept back and held there, anchoring the magic immune mecha-lizard in place. "That can't possibly be good...."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 10:35 PM	The drow sneers behind his mask at the ghost as he draws his hood back into place, "Leave me be wretch of a spirit, I have no interest in dealing with the disembodied who do not understand pain." He steps toward Nocturan, raising the wickedly shaped hook up and preparing to strike, looking at Nocturan's chest and trying to attune his hearing to find a heartbeat. Instead of that however, he finds the sound of gears grating against other gears and the ticking of clockwork parts powered by theabyssal magics within the lizard. Growling, he drives the hook forward, aimed for where Noc's heart should be, "Damnable creature, you don't even have a blood system!"
The ghost of OH 12-30-03, 10:39 PM	"Well.. someones a jerk.."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 10:48 PM	Nocturan looks down as the hook plunges into his chest and gets snagged between two of the key gears in his body, causing him to shudder violently as his movement is badly hampered. "I don't have a blood system? You don't say? I am a freakin' machine here you undead psycho! What in the hells is wrong with you thinking that a construct is going to have a blood system?! I mean, come on... I'm made of flesh, yes, but that's stitched over metal bars and gears, I don't have working veins anywhere on me you lunatic."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 10:56 PM	The drow growls at the ghost hermit, then turns back to Nocturan, leaving the hook in place and letting go of it, "Fool of a reptile, you have just informed of your key to pain. You earned this for yourself, metalhead." The drow reaches into his cloak and begins searching for something.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 11:07 PM	Nocturan's eyes go wide as he realizes his mistake in wording, and he mutters under his breath a bit. "No... no... no no no no.... Oh :censored:........." He tries to move but finds the force holding the chains and his frozen gears prevent him from doing so.
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 11:16 PM	The drow grins behind his mask, "Yes, yes indeed you have made your mistake, and now you will feel the repurcussions, lizard." He draws forth a new scalpel and speaks a command word, causing the blade to crackle with electricity. He smirks behind the mask and raises it back, "This may sting a bit."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 11:20 PM	Nocturan's eyes grow even wider as he sees the electricity and he forces the musculature over the gears to work, sparks flying from where the hook is pierced into his chest as the gears grate together. . o O ( Damnit.... )
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 11:25 PM	The drow rears back and stabs with the scalpel, aiming for Nocturan's chest near where the hook remains stuck in his flesh, growling in his vampiric tone as he puts his strength into it.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 11:32 PM	Nocturan finally manages to shift his gears into place and turns to the side, breaking free of the force holding him in place and just barely moving out of the way of the stab before the electricity can touch him. Taking a deep breath, he raises a massive arm and aims to slam his forearm down onto X's back whle the drow is still in mid-stab. "Nice try."
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 11:38 PM	The drow is stricken hard in his back by the forearm, dropping to the floor like he was just hit by a sledgehammer. He tries to get back up, but seems to fail as he collapses down once more; his back injured from the blow. He hisses in pain, "Blast you to hell damnable beast....You'll pay for this....Just wait...."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-30-03, 11:47 PM	Nocturan smirks. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll pay, blah, blah, blah. Whatever fang face, just get out of here and go home, will you?" He waits for an answer as he stretches a bit, settling the gears back into place.
Xerneth Karjen 12-30-03, 11:57 PM	The drow hisses in pain and disperses into a black mist that creeps along the floor and eventually slips out beneath the front doors, drifting away to recover elsewhere.
Godar Kormac (Cod) 12-31-03, 12:14 AM	the old one follows the mist off to whoknows where
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 12:25 AM	Nocturan smirks as he watches the mist leave, followed by the ghost of the hermit. "Well, two loons with one stone."
Nugan 12-31-03, 01:05 AM	Nugan claps, smirking at Nocturan. "Nice job Noc... Feel any better now?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-31-03, 01:11 AM	Taragon gets to his feet slowly and looks over at Nocturan with a smirk. "Sorry about that urine thing sir...maybe i'll just relieve myself over here in this corner..." He turns and begins urinating in an empty corner, then suddenly spins towards Nocturan, aiming his stream directly on him like a firehouse. "Oops, I seem to be losing control of myself..."
Nugan 12-31-03, 01:17 AM	Nugan stiffles a chuckle. "Guess not..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 01:19 AM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan and is about to say something as he gets assailed with Taragon's liquid. He growls low and turns to face Taragon with what is quite possibly the most foul expression on his face that anyone present has ever witnessed on Nocturan's face. His eyes glow brighter green as his anger rises and his left eyeridge twitches. He hands flex from open to closed fists as his form literally begins to shake with anger. "Gentlemen, Biantium, and Nugan, I suggest ducking for cover." The chains that line his form begin lengthening and then extend outward, beginning to whirl around his body like a half sphere of metal, moving so fast that Nocturan becomes difficult to see.
George Washington's Ghost 12-31-03, 01:22 AM	Washington waves his hand and a ghostly Mace and Puffy appear suddenly, donned in shiny suits and sunglasses and head for the center of the room underneath the disco ball. Positioning himself between them, he spreads his legs and rocks back and forth, "dirty dancing" with them. "I thought I told you that we won't stop, I thought I told you that we won't stop..."
Nugan 12-31-03, 01:23 AM	Nugan nods. "I think I'll do one better..." Nugan makes a gesture and vanishes.
Biantium 12-31-03, 01:25 AM	Biantium takes a few steps backwards and dives for cover under a table. "Damn, I think he's malfunctioning or something.."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 01:31 AM	The chains around Nocturan's form begin to nearly whistle as their speed increases. A few of them strike hard against the wooden floors and send splinters up into the air from the force of impact. The few glimpses of Nocturan's face between the gaps of the whipping metal reveal a blank psychotic glare in his eyes; which is normal, except that now they glow bright green amidst the charcol grey of his scales and armor.
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 12-31-03, 01:37 AM	Bandit spins on his heels and stands on his back feet. He pushhes open the roof hatch with his nose and climbs outside.
Taragon the Yellow 12-31-03, 01:37 AM	Taragon reaches into his robes and pulls out a small metal hook shaped weapon. With a quick shake of his hand, he extends it and it lengthens to the size of a staff. He braces himself and starts walking around Nocturan (outside of the range of his chains) and waits for an opportunity to strike. o.0 (Yummy yummy in my tummah..)
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 01:47 AM	Nocturan remains almost entirely still as he is circled. He utters a few words in a harsh blend of draconic mixed with abyssal. "You brought this upon yourself strange one. Remember that." Even as he speaks those last words, he lunges with surprising speed for something his size in the direction of Taragon, the razor like chains leading the charge and spitting up more splinters as they catch on the floor.
Taragon the Yellow 12-31-03, 01:55 AM	A spark leaps from Taragon's hand and onto his staff and suddenly it starts to bristle with electricity. Diving out of the way of the fast moving Noc he hurls the staff into the center of the chains. As he dives onto the floor, a chain lashes the back of his leg, ripping through his robes and cutting it, causing a gush of black blood to flow out.
The ghost of OH 12-31-03, 01:59 AM	OHs ghost floats back through the door grumbling. "Grandson! im Hom... umm... " He trys not to watch the other ghosts as he watches noccy and the.. uh.. thing
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 02:02 AM	Nocturan roars in pain as the electrically charged staff is thrown into the midst of the chains. The metallic barrier deflects the staff away, but becomes the conductor for the energy, causing it to cover his entire form. Nocturan becomes magetized and freezes in place, but with the liquid that has already doused his form in place, the electricity fails to magnetize the chains and creates a field of electric energy within the whirling chains, crackling and whistling like the eye of a storm.
The ghost of OH 12-31-03, 02:05 AM	"Oh. great job ya did there Eh?"
Taragon the Yellow 12-31-03, 02:06 AM	Taragon grabs onto a nearby table as something metal on his body begins to pull him towards Nocturan's magnetic field. Suddenly a large metal jockstrap flys from underneath his robes and towards Noc. "Damn, there goes my chastity belt...teehee."
Straak 12-31-03, 02:07 AM	Straak steps back out of the Trophy Room portal. "Yah Boss... I..." Straak skids to a stop as he sees Nocturan. "Yah... I'll come back, ya know, later..." Straak backs into the portal again.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 02:16 AM	The metal object worn by Taragon attaches itself to Nocturan's forearm once through the metal barrier. Then chains continue to crackle and hum with the slowly increasing mass of electricity that seems to be building in strength as the chains increase speed.
Taragon the Yellow 12-31-03, 02:27 AM	Taragon gets back to his feet, bracing himself on the table. He pulls up his robe and looks down at a small round dial attached to his wrist. The dial has several small glowing rings, each of a different color. He begins to turn it and gradually they all take on a similar coloration and the dial begins to hum. o.0 ( I hope the cannon is still active...) Suddenly, there is a loud pounding on the guildhall roof, followed by pieces of rubble falling to the floor. The hole made by the ship hovering above widens and the large phalloid object can be seen pointing downwards into the room. The ship draws back a little bit, and the instrument trains itself on Nocturan. Suddenly there is a flash of yellow light at the tip of the phallus, and a solid jet of yellow-brown liquid streams downwards in Nocturan's direction.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 02:33 AM	Nocturan, unable to move, is drenched by the liquid. The chains send it spattering in all directions, creating a spray of it throughout the room. Most notably, however, the liquid triggers the electric build up and causes arcs of lightning to spring from Nocturan and up the stream of liquid, directly toward the ship's cannon.
Taragon the Yellow 12-31-03, 02:54 AM	The lightning springs up the stream of urine and onto the ship, causing the already glowing phallus to glow more, now with a blue electrical hue. The ship starts to waver, and suddenly shoots backwards and into the air, spraying the urine all over the area beneath it. Taragon looks up and sighs. "Looks like I'm gonna have to find another way home..." Glancing over at Nocturan he waves to him, smiles, and then fades out of view. Pairs of urine drenched footsteps can be seen making their way out of the trophy room through the portal.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 03:00 AM	Nocturan collapses to the ground on his back, unconcsious and unmoving after the electricity is discharged. He's still dreched and left foul smelling, the stench of the liquid mixed with that of the electrical build up. The chains fall across the floor and stop moving finally and remain still.
Nugan 12-31-03, 03:03 AM	((That looks like a good place for a time laspe. A month has gone by, and the Guildhall has been cleaned and repared back to its original state. I'll let you guys decide where your characters are.))
Nugan 12-31-03, 03:09 AM	Nugan sits in his usual place, playing a board game with Straak on the guildhall's table. He sniffs the air and smirks. "Nice job Straak... I think you finally got out that bodily wastes-fried lizard-homeless child kidney juices smell..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 03:12 AM	Nocturan walks in through the main doors, his chains looking brighter than usual as if new metal has been added in their place. A few of the metal body plates have the same appearance, while most look the same as before. "Damned abyssal metalsmiths...." He moves over toward his quarters and stops by the usual barrel next to his door to grab a tankard. He lifts the lid to the barrel and dips the mug in, filling it with ale before raising it to his face and draining it in one gulp. He then looks around.
Straak 12-31-03, 03:13 AM	Straak nods, smiling. "Yah... It wasn't, ya know, easy..." Straak moves a small white cermic sphere on the board. "Yah... I use my, ya know, bone lord to take ya're gnomish middle school..."
Jim The Talking Fox 12-31-03, 03:17 AM	Jim trots into the room, nodding to all of those present. A pretty large chunk of his left ear is missing. "What's going on today Apathy?"
Nugan 12-31-03, 03:18 AM	Nugan sighs. "This game is rigged... I'm playing as Yanen next time. I still can't believe there was no moral outrage when my father released this game... What with the obvious facrt that he's using tradegy for his own profits..." Nugan picks up a small blue ceramic piece that looks like a gnome in robes. "Well then... I use my Zyzek piece to... Damn, this piece doesn't do crap... I can't wait until my brother's piece finishes summoning Riacel in a few rounds.. If there's anything left then..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 03:21 AM	Nocturan fills the mug once more and drains it in a single drink again, then nods to Nugan, Straak, and Jim. "Well, fortunately I managed to get the metal that was damaged by that... thing with the ship a month ago replaced. Damn smith charged me three times the value. Good thing I didn't plan on paying anyway." He looks at his claw blade which is covered in a bit of red liquid and smirks.
Straak 12-31-03, 03:22 AM	Straak waves to Jim and Nocturan. "Yah... Hi guys..." Straak turns back to Nugan. "Yah... But remember Boss, one percent of tha profits go to help provide proper, ya know, burials to Yanen's victems..."
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 03:28 AM	Nocturan smirks as he sees the board game now. "Isn't that the one... yep, it is." He chuckles a bit. "Pfft, charity. Why buy it when you can take it? Besides that, why would that crackpot give even one percent of his earnings to charity?"
Nugan 12-31-03, 03:28 AM	Nugan shrugs. "Whatever... I'm still angry that he gave my piece the official name: Nugan the Pansey Boy who Neglects his Roots.... I can't believe they fit all of that into a tiny ceramic base... Plus, he got my backstab modifier way off..."
Biantium 12-31-03, 03:35 AM	Biantium stumbles into the room dragging a small cart filled with several corpse, most of them elves. She smiles and nods to everyone. "Hey guess what? These fools actually paid me to dig graves for some people killed in some national tragedy today. I don't think I've ever made off with this many corpses before..."
Wracod City Gaurd 12-31-03, 03:40 AM	Three city gaurd carriages pull up to the Guildhall and come to a stop. Twelve guards exits the carriage and begin to line up on the curb.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 03:42 AM	Nocturan smirks at Biantium and shakes his head a bit. "Great, well that's a mental picture I could have gone without." He shakes his head again and refills his tankard, holding it full now for the moment.
Major Lunter 12-31-03, 03:57 AM	A fourth carriage, with national instead of local insignia, pulls up next to the others. Its door opens, and a middle-aged man in a Wracod military uniform steps out. He walks up to the Guildhall, whistling, and wraps on the door.
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 04:04 AM	Nocturan shoots a glance at the door as he hears the knock. "What in the hells do you suppose that is?" He glances down at his claw blade again and smirks. "If it's for me, tell 'em I'm not here."
Biantium 12-31-03, 04:13 AM	Biantium steps over to the door and opens it. She sees the man outside and blinks "Oh, hey there. Who the hell are you?"
Nugan 12-31-03, 04:14 AM	Nugan smirks at Biantium. "Damn, you can have a new one every night for a while now... You'll be like Dalineous... With few diseases..." Nugan glances at the door when the knocking begins. "Get that, will you Straak?"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 04:20 AM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan. "You know, if that gnome of Faustin's charged him every time she removed a disease, she could probably buy half this damn city. But I won't get started mocking tht bastard, I don't think I'd stop by nightfall." He shakes his head and looks over to the door as Biantium opens it, leaning a bit to make sure it's nothing related to the metalsmith.
Straak 12-31-03, 04:27 AM	Straak hops off his chair. "Yah... Sure, ya know, thing Boss..." Straak blinks as Biantium opens the door. "Yah... That doesn't count as, ya know, failure, does it?"
Major Lunter 12-31-03, 04:34 AM	The major smiles through the doorway at Biantium. "Hi there. Is your boss in?"
Nugan 12-31-03, 04:48 AM	Nugan smirks at Lunter. "He's over here... So, that's who you are? I figured you were that guy Nocturan asked to get him ale over a month ago... What do you want?"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 04:51 AM	Nocturan blinks and looks at Nugan. "Oh yeah, that guy.... Wonder what happened to him.... Oh well, I'll hunt the idiot down next beer run, no biggie." He raises his tankard once more and drains it dry again, shaking his head as he grins. "The ale is better when I get it myself anyway."
Major Lunter 12-31-03, 05:04 AM	Lunter smiles at Nugan. "Good news, your under arrest."
The ghost of OH 12-31-03, 03:59 PM	at this time The ghost of the old hermit flys through lunter to get to nugan. Once near him he weeps "Oh Grandson! I knew being a thief and owning your own large guild of thieves was a bad career idea! Why!! Whyyyyyy.... so whatd ya do now!? was it daring and sneeky full of plot twists? Uww Uww! Tell me all about it!!"
Nocturan Deadfall 12-31-03, 10:39 PM	Nocturan moves to fill his mug again when he sees that the person isn't here for him, then raises it to take a drink and drains half the alcohol before hearing the man speak. He chokes with laughter and sprays the ale out through his teeth as he hears the announcement and chuckles to himself. He looks to the door and addresses the Major. "Oh now that's a good joke. I'd like to see just how that would work you government lapdog. This oughta be interesting."
Godar Kormac (Cod) 01-01-04, 09:30 AM	((Ey willness.. since im to lazy to wait for you to come online and i dont think the guys in trc are reading this, heres the info on the bomb stuff. log this down somewherez i guess. Hacking wont work cause the comp that runs the timer does no more than that. A program does the countdown and has the code info. If the worng codes put in it'l detonate if it can. If the right codes put in the timer shuts off. Thats all this comp connects to. There are no ports or radio waves (see below) to hack into it. The case is riged to detonate the bomb if its removed or if its fractured (cut open n stuff like that. A bullet hole would do the trick). Inside the case is the bomb itself (powersource and all) and the device that makes sure its not opened, and The Reciver/Transmiter. The r/t has two signals. one is for the remote detonator and is a self contained, only hooking up to the bomb. This is set to blow up the bomb if it gets the correct, and simple, key command on the remote which one of rudys chars has. The second is the neo norsman heart tracker device. This keeps logs of the 4 NNs heart condition. Each NN has a small device monetering thier heart and sending a signal to the device in event of change. If the device recives that a NN heart has stoped beating it'll detonate the bomb. If It looses any NN signal itl detonate the bomb. This system is also self maintained. Niether of the radio devices can be turned off. The best they can do is take out the time and detonator program, then block radiowaves. but this causes the heart device to loose its signal and thus detonate.. :smirk:
Nugan 01-03-04, 09:44 PM	Nugan puts on a look of mock horror. "Gods, gods, gods... What am I ever going to do? Guess I'll spend the rest of my life giving some big half dragon murderer his goodnight kiss..."" Nugan smirks. "Oh wait... I'm a traveling ambassador. I've got diplomatic imunity here in Wracod.... Tell Dad nice try though..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 09:48 PM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan's comment. "Big half dragon eh? You could always look at the upside, it's not that far from tiny little kobold when you think about it." He chuckles at Nugan's secondary remark and mutters to himself under his breath. "Diplomatic.... riiiiiight. And I'm an elf."
Major Lunter 01-03-04, 09:54 PM	Lunter laughs cheerily. "Diplomatic immunity? Maybe if you embezzled funds or stabbed your mistress to death... But there's no dilpomatic immunity from a war crimes tribunal."
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 09:55 PM	The familiar little goblin walks up the street toward the guildhall, his cane held in his natural right hand. His wooden left hand has a small pouch attached to it, the strings wound into the carved fingers. He's dressed once more in a bright green suit jacket and baggy green pants, but his hat is now solid black and actually seems to fit for once. He struts up toward the door and pauses as he sees the group of city guards. "Great... I always choose tha best days ta try an' collect my money..."
Wracod City Gaurd 01-03-04, 09:59 PM	Several of the gaurds remove a glass sphere mounted on a metal platform from one of the carriages and set it in front lof the Guildhall. One of them turns a dial on the sphere and it begins to glow a teal-ish color.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 10:02 PM	Nocturan raises an eyeridge at Lunter's words. "War crimes? Nugget here? Kinda grasping at straws here, aren't you?"
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 10:09 PM	Grineck raises a brow as he sees the glass sphere and metal platform being put in place. He ducks down into the alleyway beside the guildhall and looks around, spotting a few crates leading up to an open window that leads into Nocturan's room. "Well, that looks like it'll be easy enough ta get my money after all...."
Nugan 01-03-04, 10:17 PM	Nugan blinks. "War crimes? I hard think what Biantium did to those soldiers' graves counts... And I had no direct part in that anyway..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 10:22 PM	Nocturan smirks at Nugan. "Besides that, it's not her fault she's not right in the head. It's a mental condition, hardly fair to arrest someone for that." He smirks and mutters to himself quietly again. "Killing someone on the other hand...."
Straak 01-03-04, 10:23 PM	Straak shakes his head. "Yah... Tha boss isn't a war criminal... Jus' a, ya know, regular one..." Straak gulps. "Yah... Uhh... I mean... Ya know..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 10:26 PM	Grineck limp-struts his way over to the crates and vaults his way up to the lowest one using his cane for leverage. He balances and looks up, the window is still out of his reach. "I wish I was a little bit taller...."
Major Lunter 01-03-04, 10:29 PM	Lunter smiles. "Inciting a riot, destruction of public and private property on a huge scale, indirect murder of numerous officers of the peace; all in a foriegn nation. That counts as war crimes, I believe. Not to mention atrocities commited against your own people in violation of human rights agreements signed by the ***** Word Council..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 10:32 PM	Nocturan smirks at Lunter. "Oh, so now being a bad person makes you a war criminal? Man it's a good thing you haven't looked up on me yet. You'd probably want to execute me." Nocturan blinks and mutters a curse under his breath after that. "I mean.... That's some list you've got there."
Nugan 01-03-04, 10:32 PM	Nugan smirks. "Oh... Well, I have a simple answer to all of that..." Nugan makes a gesture, and fails to vanish. He sighs. "Great..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 10:34 PM	Nocturan shakes his head at Nugan, then looks to Lunter. "You forgot one. Extreme cowardice."
Major Lunter 01-03-04, 10:35 PM	Lunter laughs. "There's an anti-magic field device set up outside... Along with twelve city gaurds. Now, how about we get going?"
Straak 01-03-04, 10:39 PM	Straak glares at Lunter. "Yah... How bout ya get going, ya know, alone..." Straak sets his hand on his dagger and gives Nocturan a sideways nod.
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 10:39 PM	Grineck vaults his way up to the next crate and looks at the window at eye level, looking inside. . o O ( Well... this isn't going to be so easy.... Big dumb lizard doesn't have anything under the window for me ta land on. )
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 10:44 PM	Nocturan catches Straak's nod and returns it. His claw blades twitch slightly, not extending, but just slightly raising up. "Like the gecko said, it's about time you leave." Nocturan steps toward the door as he tosses his empty ale tankard to the ground. "Besides, you're interrupting happy hour."
Major Lunter 01-03-04, 10:45 PM	Lunter looks at Straak and Nocturan and laughs again. He turns to Nugan. "Please... Don't make your friends war criminals too. I am a high ranking army officer, after all."
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 10:49 PM	Grineck jumps onto the window frame from the crates and tries to catch his balance but fails, tumbling inside clumsily. He manages to mutter a Feather Fall spell before he lands and gets to his feet safely and quietly. He looks around the cluttered room. . o O ( Now, if I was a big dumb lizard... where would I put my cash? )
Straak 01-03-04, 10:51 PM	Straak takes a step towards Lunter. "Yah... Its, ya know, worth it for tha boss..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 10:55 PM	Nocturan smirks. "Yeah, I don't care about 'tha boss', but you're really starting to :censored: me off. So, I think I'm gonna risk becoming a war criminal you flat booted piece of military filth." He steps right up to and looks down at Lunter, turning his head in place and causing the trademark crack of his neck, venting steam from the throat vents. A low rumbling growl emits from his throat as he glares down at the Major. "Better yet. Try to arrest me."
Major Lunter 01-03-04, 10:58 PM	Major Lunter nods, smiles, and claps. He then draws a rapier and looks up at Nocturan. "Okie doke, you're under arrest."
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 10:59 PM	Grineck looks around and takes a step, then grimaces as his shined up leather shoes step into a puddle of spilt ale. "I'm startin' ta think this wasn't such a good idea...."
Wracod City Gaurd 01-03-04, 11:06 PM	The gaurds draw their swords and begin to file into the Guildhall, watching Nocturan and Straak.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 11:06 PM	Nocturan chuckles and his claw blades extend with a loud clang. "I hope you were already aware of this. But I intend to resist arrest." He swings one claw forward to sweep the Major's rapier to the side, then aims to slam his metal and scale covered forehead against Lunter's in a ramlike headbutt.
Nugan 01-03-04, 11:12 PM	Nugan sighs and holds up his hand. "Wait. I know this is kinda a new situation, but, if you remember, I really am inicent this time. No reason I shouldn't plead my case to the council... Plus, they're push-overs, remember? They freed Yanen... more than once."
Major Lunter 01-03-04, 11:19 PM	Lunter blinks as his rapier is swipped away. He takes the head butt with moving, and collapses, a shocked smile on his face.
Straak 01-03-04, 11:26 PM	Straak nods to Nugan and takes his hand off his dagger. "Yah... Okay Boss. I'm sure ya're, ya know, right." Straak winces as Nocturan strikes Lunter. "Yah... Oops..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 11:27 PM	Nocturan glares down at Lunter. He looks around and eyes the surrounding guards with a smirk. "Alright, who else wants a little?" He raises a hand and points to one at random. "You? Huh?"
Wracod City Gaurd 01-03-04, 11:33 PM	Six of the gaurds move to surround Nocturan, while four others do the same for Straak, and the remaining two lean down to help Lunter up.
Nugan 01-03-04, 11:37 PM	Nugan sighs and puts his head in his hands. "Great... Well, I was inicent... Guess that won't count for much..."
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-03-04, 11:40 PM	Grineck frowns a bit as he searches around, he moves over toward the mattress, stepping around the puddle of ale carefully. He tries to lift up the edge, but winces as he's too weak to do it. "Damnit...."
Straak 01-03-04, 11:42 PM	Straak's hand slips back to his dagger, and he looks pleadingly towards Nugan. "Yah... Boss?"
Nugan 01-03-04, 11:47 PM	Nugan forces a smirk and looks at Nocturan. "I suppose they've got nice ale houses down there in the abyss were you're drink won't be followed with painful torture... right? Cause otherwise Idon't see why you''d be jepordazing your status herev at the Guildhall..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 11:48 PM	Nocturan growls as he becomes surrounded and his chains twitch once at his sides. He darts toward one of the guards at his right, aiming to smash his huge elbow into his collarbone with all of his strength, not caring what might be in his way or what Nugan might think. "You guys really picked a bad day to be heroes."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-03-04, 11:51 PM	Nocturan glances over at Nugan with a smirk. "What? You think I really care what the 'law' thinks of my actions or anything of the sort? It really makes no difference to me what happens, I can just go and hassle other people somewhere else, no scales off my nose."
Wracod City Gaurd 01-03-04, 11:54 PM	The gaurd Nocturan attacked whines and crumples to the floor. Two of the five on him swing their longswords at him, while two others try to drive their swords into the loops of his chains and through the floor to stall him, and the remaining one tries to do the same with his tail. The four gaurds on Straak stall for a momment as they hear Nocturan's attack, and spin to look.
Straak 01-03-04, 11:59 PM	Straak slips between two gaurds while they're distracted, and hurries across the room to stand beside his boss. He takes up a defensive stance and watches the fight. "Yah Boss... I don't think Nocturan is, ya know, listening..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 12:00 AM	Nocturan snarls as the swords catch into gaps in his metallic hide. Dark oil blood begins to seep from the wounds as he slowly turns to face the two who struck him, his eyes growing darker as his left arm comes down, the extended claw blade aimed across the sword blades in an attempt to sunder them into useless shards. He tries to take a step but finds himself lodged to the floor by the swords and his chains are noticably trying to extracate themselves.
Nugan 01-04-04, 12:04 AM	Nugan smirks at Straak. "Oh, he's listening..." Nugan turns towards Nocturan again. "He just doesn't care... Not even about the waterskins I see the gaurds carrying..."
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 12:11 AM	Lunter stands with the help of the gaurds, rubbing his head, and laughs. "This reminds me of my days fighting in the Tradefall battle... I watched the prisoners of war bury some bodies twice your size lizardman...." Lunter takes his rapier, and cuts open a keg of ale, watching it spuill over the Guildhall floor, and mix with Nocturan's leaking oil.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 12:17 AM	Nocturan hisses and a red light begins to blink on his chest as he eyes Lunter. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." A distinct beeping noise also begins to emit from the area of the light, signaling that something has been triggered.
Wracod City Gaurd 01-04-04, 12:17 AM	One gaurd's sword is knocked apart by Nocturan's strike. He stares at it blankly for a momment before fainting. The three gaurds trying to hold Nocturan down struggle to hold their swords in place, and the one with his sword intact make another swing at Nocturan.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 12:22 AM	Nocturan growls as he is hit once again, letting the blade sink deep into him before angling his body to hold the blade in place, not seeming to care about the new wound. The chains trapped on the ground continue to tug to try to escape but fail to do so. Several other chains accross his form lash upward and outward, aiming to wrap the three guards holding the chains down in a grappling hold.
Nugan 01-04-04, 12:23 AM	Nugan winces as he hears Nocturan beeping. He sighs and stands. "I'll be waiting by your carriages outside when you decide you're done... Well, if you're still alive anyway..." Nugan walks around the battle and out the front door.
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 12:30 AM	Major Lunter gestures for the gaurds to withdraw. "I'll repeat: You're under arrest." Lunter reaches into his pocket, withdraws a tindertwig, and lights it. He holds it up towards Nocturans face and smiles.
Wracod City Gaurd 01-04-04, 12:38 AM	The three gaurds behind nocturan are caught and restrained in the chains, while seven free gaurds withdraw behind Lunter.
Straak 01-04-04, 12:43 AM	Straak gulps. "Yah.... I think I'll, ya know, follow tha boss..." Straak hurries outside after Nugan.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 12:49 AM	Nocturan glares at Lunter and keeps the guards locked in the chains, having them squeeze tighter. "And I repeat, you don't want to do that." He taps his chest right next to the blinking red light. "Unless you want to see half this city including your sorry hide blown into the abyss in a torrent of Abyssal Flame."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 12:52 AM	(Standing outside the door, looking over the sphere in the metal, in black silk robes trimed in gold is what at first looks humanish.. Cept the Jackle-like head.. Xyathiel Keeps his fur nice and shiney and his chin fur a bit longer, giving the look of a small beard/gotee. He carries with him a cane/staff of a blackish metal capped with a gold moon. in the center of this moon floats a slowly rotating ruby jem. He stands around 5', maybe a little less, and is thin.) .oO(hmm.. wonder how much i can sell this for..) He looks up as he sees nugan run from the building
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 12:53 AM	Lunter continues to smile at Nocturan, holding up the match. "And including you..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 12:57 AM	Nocturan smiles in return. "And including you. I've died this way before jackass, it's nothing. I'll be rebuilt and back here before you know it. Have you ever felt the very flames of the abyss ripping your mortal flesh to shreds as they are unleashed from their confinement and freed to wreak utter havoc as they wish? It's not the same as normal fire you know, there's no burning, no scorching, no smoke. Just utter and complete annihilation. If you want to feel it, I'll be happy to show you what it's like."
Nugan 01-04-04, 12:59 AM	Nugan spots Xyathiel as he leaves the Guildhall and blinks. He walks over to him, smirking. "Well, either my Dad sn't even trying to hide his pact with dark forces anymore... Or you're not with the gaurds..."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 01:04 AM	"Hey! back off! I found this ..um.. orby thingy first! Its mine now!.. i'll sell it to yah though.. Gaurds..? Oh.. those people who left this here? They Ditched it! Its mine fair and square!" He takes a step back and raises his staff as if about to cast one spell or another "Or do you wish to fight for it! I warn you now, you couldnt possibly best me! I Am Xyathiel, master mage, scribe, and other good stuff! Fear me or face my undieing wrath! Bwahahaha!!"
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 01:07 AM	Lunter's smiles disappears for a momment. Then it return and he snffs out the match. "Wouldn't want to cause unneccessary casualities. The prime minister's son has already surrendered. I'll see you lizardman." Lunter claps again and turns towards the door.
Biantium 01-04-04, 01:07 AM	Biantium emerges from a back room in the guildhall rubbing her head and yawning. She scans the room quickly and looks at the guards, the oil / booze on the floor and then to Nocturan. "What the hell's all the noise out here? I have a hard time getting it up when there's so much racket...." She spots Lunter, noticing his city guard uniform and frowns. "And what's this cop doing here?"
Grineck Cut-tooth 01-04-04, 01:09 AM	Grineck continues to scrounge around Noc's room until he hears the mecha-lizard's announcement. "Oh :censored:.... I gotta get the hell outta here...." He runs back to the window and tries to vault through it, but hits the wall and is knocked out cold.
Jim The Talking Fox 01-04-04, 01:13 AM	Jim trots from underneath a table and stretches himself out. "Wha..? Can't a guy get any sleep around here?"
Nugan 01-04-04, 01:17 AM	Nugan smirks. "Ah, but it was abandoned on my property... I'd say that makes it legally mine. However, I'll let you have it, but... You owe me a favor...."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 01:17 AM	Nocturan nods and watches the major walk out. "Damn straight." He lets go of the three guards held in his chains by hurling them out the front door at full force, the wrapped chains probably putting a spin on them. "And you guys can get the hell out of here too."
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 01:21 AM	Major Lunter marches out of the Guildhall, and onto the lawn. He spots Nugan and turns to him. "Ready to go?"
Jim The Talking Fox 01-04-04, 01:23 AM	Meanwhile, inside a tower shaped scab on Jim's back, a small lice shrouded in brown robes is jarred awake suddenly by a loud (comparatively) ringing noise. The room he sits in is bathed in red light. "What the :censored::censored::censored::censored: ? Oh...there must be an anti-magic field in the area...I hope that other Arclight unit hasn't decided to come back. Time to engage secondary psionics systems..." Jim's feet lift off of the ground and he begins to float a few feet above the floor. "Damnit, now the lice are all aggitated..."
Wracod City Gaurd 01-04-04, 01:24 AM	The seven free gaurds march out after Lunter. The three thrown by Nocturan spiral through the doorway, collide with each other, and land in a heap on the lawn.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 01:25 AM	Nocturan turns around and looks at Biantium and Jim. "Where the hell were you two? Having a little back up would have been nice you know."
Biantium 01-04-04, 01:27 AM	Biantium shrugs with a smirk. "Hey, I was taking care of business... What happened anyway?"
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 01:27 AM	"Hmm.. i supose.. Well. favor granted. you may keep your life" With that he trys to pick up the orb/stand and walk away. he fails.. so he trys draging it. Upon this attempt it tips over and he looses his grip. he Yipes and fails to catch it befor it hits the ground, of course shattering it. "Now look what ya did! Thats your fault ya know. That was worth atleast 500g.. and thats the least i'll accsept as payment." he holds out a hand waiting for the money
Nugan 01-04-04, 01:28 AM	Nugan glances back at Lunter. "I will be..." Nugan looks back to Xythiel, smirking. "I'll do you one better... I'll give you one-hundred gold an hour if you provide Apathy and I with legal advice."
Jim The Talking Fox 01-04-04, 01:30 AM	Jim looks down, and then back up to Nocturan. "I WAS sleeping until somebody decided to go slam bam stomping all around the place."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 01:32 AM	A smirk (as much as can be on a jackle-like face) creeps accross Xy's face "Oh? hmm.. thats better than i was makin.. Allright.. but 150.."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 01:33 AM	Nocturan smirks at Biantium. "Oh, nothing big. Some flat booted military punks came over to arrest Nugan for war crimes or some load of horse crap like that. I told them to go away, got in their leader's face, and told him to arrest me. He tried, I resisted, activated my self destruct mechanism and held them in a standoff after fighting ten guards." He looks down and the light stops blinking, and the beeping ends. "Of course it was my blank destruct device, but...."
Straak 01-04-04, 01:33 AM	Straak looks up at Nugan in confusion. "Yah Boss... I'm, ya know, lost..."
Nugan 01-04-04, 01:37 AM	Nugan nods and extends his hand to Xyatheil. "Deal." Nugan glances at Straak and smirks. "I figure I might as well do what Dad always wanted me too and follow in his footsteps... Of course, its with the purpose of beating him, but he can't have everything."
George Washington's Ghost 01-04-04, 01:38 AM	Washington steps out of a wall and peers around the room. He looks at those present, then twists one of his hands into a gang symbol and nods. "What's up my :censored:'s?"
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 01:41 AM	Nocturan glances at the ghost and shakes his head. "Here we go again...." Nocturan flips the ghost off and states simply. "Not much dead guy."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 01:41 AM	xy shakes Nugans hand "so.. uhm.. whats goin on, who are you, & i know what the word means but what do you mean by apathy and you?"
Nugan 01-04-04, 01:46 AM	Nugan returns the shake and withdraws his hand. "Straak here and the rest of Apathy will fill you in..." Nugan looks back at Lunter. "My Dad's expecting me home..." Nugan turns and walks up to Lunter. "Ok, I'm ready to go now."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 01:49 AM	He looks down at straak "Hullo little freaky thing.. kobold is it?"
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 01:51 AM	Lunter nods to Nugan, smiling. "Good, good." Lunter walks over to his carriage, and holds the door open for Nugan. "After you."
Straak 01-04-04, 01:55 AM	Straak gives Nugan a concerned look. "Yah... Boss... I... Ya know... Good luck." Straak turns to Xyathiel and nods. "Yah... kobold. My, ya know, name's Straak..."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 01:58 AM	Xy just nods "Yah.. whatever freaky kobold creature.. this your.. uh house?"
Nugan 01-04-04, 02:01 AM	Nugan nods to Straak. "Just don't let them blow the Guildhall up again while I'm gone..." Nugan looks back at the Guildhall, and spots the pool on the floor and Nocturan standing over it. "That's not gonna be easy.... Good luck." Nugan climbs into the carriage.
Major Lunter 01-04-04, 02:14 AM	Lunter follows Nugan into the carriage, and flashes a smile at the Guildhall. He then closes the carriage door, and it begins to roll away.
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 02:14 AM	Nocturan walks over to his chair at the table and sits, the leaking oil blood stopped already as his wounds close to begin repairing themselves. "Well, now what are we supposed to do? Not much worth doing around here without the weasel to mock...."
George Washington's Ghost 01-04-04, 02:18 AM	Washington smirks at Nocturan and shrugs. "Well, there's always partying to be done..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 02:22 AM	Nocturan shoots a glance at the ghost. Yeah, how about not." He looks around at everyone else. "Any ideas?"
Straak 01-04-04, 02:26 AM	Straak shakes his head. "Nah... Tha boss and I live in his, ya know, tower. This is tha Guildhall. Yah... What, ya know, are ya anyway?"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 01-04-04, 02:29 AM	Bandit scurries from his spot in the rafters down a beam, and onto the floor. He scurries onto the table-top, looks up at Nocturan, and chirps.
George Washington's Ghost 01-04-04, 02:31 AM	Washington snaps his fingers and a large disco ball appears a few feet over his head. He starts doing the twist and looks over at Nocturan again. "You sure about that lizard? There's enough party here for all..."
Wracod City Gaurd 01-04-04, 02:33 AM	The gaurds help their injured companions into the carriages. When everyone is inside, they begin to roll off after Lunter. Two gaurds are left behind, still laying unconsious on the Guildhall floor.
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 02:34 AM	Xy narrows his eyes at the kobold "I, little freak, am a noble arcanaloth. Ar-can-a-loth.. Then whats This building for and whats goin on"
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 02:36 AM	Nocturan looks at Bandit and smirks, then catches sight of the disco ball and growls at Washington. "Shut that godsdamned thing off.... I've been saying it for the last godsdamned month. And for the last time: I don't want to 'party' you ectomplasmic freak."
Straak 01-04-04, 02:38 AM	Straak gestures at the Guildhall. "Yah... Apathy, a, ya knaw, theives guild works outta here... Tha boss, Nugan, was jus' arrested by the army for, ya know, war crimes.... Yah... And he didn't do anything. Ya gotta help him."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 02:38 AM	Xys ears pirk up at nocs voice. He glances at straak then walks to the door
Biantium 01-04-04, 02:39 AM	Biantium hurries over to one of the downed guards on the floor and feels for his pulse. Frowning, she draws her short sword and plunges it down into his chest, aiming for the killing blow. If he is hit (and killed), she drags him off into the back room. o.0 ( This one's got a pretty face... )
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 02:40 AM	Nocturan looks over his shoulder at the two knocked out guards, then at Biantium. "They're not dead yet, but enjoy." He smirks. "Nevermind, I see you're already on top of it. No pun intended."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 02:42 AM	Xy glances to Biantium and blinks a few times as he watches what she does.. then looks to Noccy and his jaw drops .oO(now what the hell is that thing...) He walks up to get a closer look, then walks around noc examining him
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 01-04-04, 02:42 AM	Bandit raises onto his rear legs and begins to sway to the music. Then he looks up at Nocturan, chirps appologettically, and drops back to all fours.
Straak 01-04-04, 02:45 AM	Straak hurries back into the Guildhall, stopping at the table. He shivers as he sees Biantium dragging the corpse away before turning to the others. "Yah... How are we gonna, ya know, free tha boss?"
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 02:45 AM	Nocturan looks down at Xyathiel as he's being examined. "What the hell do you want fuzzy?"
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 02:48 AM	Xy backs off a bit and smiles (to the best of his ability..) "Oh.. sorry.. your .. uh.. interesting to say the least.." He glances to straak "well.. hmm.. Im gonna need more info if im expected to help out.. then again for something called apathy i wouldnt expect much care for 'tha boss' "
Straak 01-04-04, 02:51 AM	Straak frowns at Xyathiel. "Yah... Don't say that. Everyone, ya know, lcares about tha boss. Some of them are just afraid they won't look like good, ya know, thieves if they show it...But... Yah... Tha boss is being held for starting a riot he didn't even, ya know, have anything to do with.... Jus' because it happened, ya know, outside tha Guildhall..."
Jim The Talking Fox 01-04-04, 02:53 AM	Jim looks over at Straak. "So where's he being held?"
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 02:55 AM	Nocturan smirks. "Right, just don't look to close if you know what's good for you." He chuckles at Straak. "Speak for yourself gecko. I couldn't care less what happens to the weasel-boy."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 02:56 AM	Xy raises a brow at straak. "well thats no grounds for arrest.. then again im a bit new to this place.. so i couldnt be sure.. any back up reasons?"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 01-04-04, 02:56 AM	Bandit crawls off the table, and over to Jim. He tilts his head to the side and begins sniffing at the scabby lice cone.
Straak 01-04-04, 03:01 AM	Straak looks to Jim. "Yah... They prolly got him in tha, ya know, World Council Headquarters somewhere... That's right here in tha city..." Straak looks to Xyathiel. "Yah... A lot people where, ya know, killed... And his Dad, tha Prime Minister of this country, has a , ya know, score to settle..."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 03:01 AM	Xy notices bandit "the hell.. you people got a big rodent problem.. Lucky for you, for a small fee, I can take care of that.. Goin rates about 20g per hour of work.. A good deal mind you. Or if your the sissy type" he glances to noc "which i doubt, i also offer a death-free option.. garunteed no ,*major, harm to the rodent.." *he says this under his breath
Straak 01-04-04, 03:03 AM	Straak looks to Xythiel and shakes his head. "Nah... That's tha boss's, ya know, familar, Bandit..."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 03:06 AM	Nocturan looks over at Straak and smirks. "Here's a thought. Nugan's pops is such a problem for him, why don't we just off the old bastard? Oh right, because he still 'wuvs his dadda' as Nameless used to say. So, at any rate, why don't we just blast a hole in the building, get him out, and be done with it? Of course, I was put back together by demons, so...."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 03:08 AM	he glances to straak "Sure you still dont want it 'removed'... firmiliar killing is a great way to weaken someone for , oh i dont know, a take over of some kind" he winks "if you get my meaning.." assuming the answer will be no "oh well.. alright.. but the offers still on the table.. anywho.. Primeminister ehh? well that and 'score to settle' dont go very good together of course.. Lets see.. what can we get him off with.. Maybe youd care to explain any diferances in the way the law works around here from other places." He takes a seat at the table then looks to noc "Well.. that would work.. but it would require planning.. lots of planning.. *hours of planning.. to be done succesfully" *said quietly and under his breath
Straak 01-04-04, 03:09 AM	Straak looks up at Nocturan. "Yah... I think tha boss might not like that kinda, ya know, attention. Yah... He also went, ya know, willingly, so I think he wants to fight this... ya know... legally or something."
Jim The Talking Fox 01-04-04, 03:14 AM	Jim shakes his head, lowers himself onto the floor and sits. "Legal action, war crimes, corpses being sodomized....its all too much for me. I think I'll go back to sleep if that's alright with everyone."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 03:14 AM	"Oh i dont know about that 'gecko'.. I think i saw a wink from him during that bit.. Im sure he'd want us, were he of any intelegence, to go over all possible options.. in detail of course.. I mean.. theres always a chance in the legal way.. but if done properly, a jail bust could work just as well.. of course he'd have ta hide for a while, maybe move a bit.. but thats not really anything compaired to life, if not death, in some jail being.. erm.. well 'treated in an unwelcome manner' by something larger, stronger, and more.. well.. larger and stronger, than him"
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 03:14 AM	Nocturan snorts. "'Legally', that's a cop out and you know it. But like I said, I was put back together by demons, I might have a few wires crossed or something. Who knows. At any rate, that bastard military punk ruined my ale. I want vengeance on his old carcass."
Straak 01-04-04, 03:15 AM	Straak looks at Xyathiel in disgust. "I would never want tha boss hurt like that! I.... I mean... Yah... That'd be horrible... Yah... Tha laws? Well... Tha boss will prolly be brought before the, ya know, World Council for trial. That's one ambassador from each of *****'s eight countries... Except... Ya know... Only seven this time... Cause tha boss won't be able ta vote... Yah... So, it'll be tha boss's father, Gerhane, Sir George, that lizardfolk druid guy, that kobold general, some white wyrm cause Pike's dead, and whoever took over Pasitte's country after he died..."
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 03:17 AM	"hmm.. well this riot musta been damn big for all this attention.. How many of them like him or know much of his involvment?"
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 01-04-04, 03:19 AM	Bandit scurries over to the pool of oil and ale and begins sniffing at it.
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 03:22 AM	Xy glances to bandit "so.. your sure you dont want it removed.. its just gonna bring fleas or a mess or some such other excuse.."
Straak 01-04-04, 03:27 AM	Straak begins to count on his hand. "Yah... I already, ya know, told ya how his Dad feels.... Gerhane'll try to be, ya know, completely fair about tha facts, and since tha boss didn't do it that should help us... Sir George is all about, ya know, chivarly and stuff, sop he's doesn't trust tha boss, so I'm not sure... Tha wyrm is too new to judge, but he's better than Pike who hated tha boss for, ya know, leaving for to die... Tha kobold doesn't trust anyone on tha Council, but he's gonna be against any kinda war crimes trail, cause he doesn't want tha same thing to happen to, ya know, him, so he'll prolly be on our side... The lizardfolk druid's gonna be, ya know, nuetral to srart with... And I don't know who tha other one's gonna be... Was that, any, ya know, help?"
Xyathiel 01-04-04, 03:31 AM	"Well. No. But thats cause your totaly inferior in every way shape and form to me. so its expected. If it makes you feel better , which i hope it doesnt, youve lived up to my, or our, expectations" He thinks for as long a moment as he can take befor hes forced to do something ells
Bandit, Nugan's Familar 01-04-04, 03:31 AM	Bandits leans down to the pool and laps up some of it. After he swallows, he spams, coughs, and backs away.
Straak 01-04-04, 03:45 AM	Straak hangs his head. "Yah... Sorry."
Nocturan Deadfall 01-04-04, 03:58 AM	Nocturan looks over at Bandit. "Careful Bandit, just because you see me drink it doesn't mean it's safe for you. Especially with all my blood mixed in there...."
Xyathiel 01-05-04, 09:25 PM	.oO(hum dee dum... doot dee doo.. I wonder how much i'll get for that stand.. not as much as i coulda got .. 'grumble grumble'.. This place is nice lookin.. wonder how much it cost.. Hey.. whats that portal.. ) Xy glances to the trophy room portal
Dionne_Silverstar 01-28-04, 03:32 PM	Dionne strides into the Guildhall definately acting as though she belongs there and begins exploring, looking at any guildhall member who challenges her, but never speaking a word.
Xyathiel 01-29-04, 06:04 PM	Xy looks to the new person "Uh.. Hey there.. um.. person.. thing.." he turns to straak "whos this.. umm cause she might have. uh. important information critical to your bosses case.. yah"
Dionne_Silverstar 02-03-04, 06:44 PM	**Sneering, she slinks along the corridors, commiting the building to memory, offering nothing but challenging stares to any who question her and never uttering a sound.**
Nugan 02-05-04, 04:10 PM	((Sorry guys, I know I've sorta left the thread on pause, but college is getting busy now. I promise I'll revive TAG ASAP))
Nocturan Deadfall 02-06-04, 07:16 AM	Nocturan raises an eyeridge slightly as he spots Dionne, then smirks as he speaks to her, but not looking in her direction. "Just stay out of my room and my ale, and try not to demolish the place, and yes, the two can be interconnected...." He then looks to Straak and smirks a bit. "I hate to agree with jackal boy here, but he brings up a good question gecko.... Who in the Nine is that?"
Dionne_Silverstar 02-08-04, 10:44 PM	*raising a brow she nods at Nocturan producing a bottle of green liquid seemingly from thin air she uncorks and takes a swallow from, as if to show him she does not drink ale anyway and continues on her way*
Dionne_Silverstar 04-30-04, 07:23 PM	Dionne returns to the Apathy guildhall and, if anyone is around she slips by them. Ignoring them entirely, she attempts to make it up to Nugan's rooms without being stopped....
