Trog's Tavern CLXXIII

[BRC]

"sounds like a problem, I'd help, but between policing this town and policing this town, both as full time jobs, I'm swamped." Rex says as he receives the wine glass with the deep red liquid in it.

"Well, I don't knopw my way around yet, but if you run across anything interesting thats going on and want to point me at it, that would be a big help."

[Vhaidara]

(He reads lips.)

[Artemis97]

Raril grins and pockets the coins. "Not a chance, Thanks frie-" Then the spell hits him and he collapses to the ground twitching and grasping at the right side of his head.

[Nightwing]

*Robert smiles with joy.*

[Pandaren]

The kid gasps and covers his mouth.

[Rex Idiotarum]

"There are tons of things going on in the Town, between political turmoil with the new council, elections end tomorrow, and hopefully yours truly will be on it, there's the war with the Scrin invasion, there's the recently established police force, you can find out citizen's take on it. I heard that people think we are a little wild, but generally good natured. There are also many things that go on in this tavern on a daily basis."

[Admiral_Kelly]

"Raril!" she goes down to help him.

[Vhaidara]

Jack, seeing Robert's smile, throws nine daggers at him. Upon contact, they will begin to ooze acid. Three from the left hand, three from the right, and three from the phazon arm in his chest.

[BRC]

"There are tons of things going on in the Town, between political turmoil with the new council, elections end tomorrow, and hopefully yours truly will be on it, there's the war with the Scrin invasion, there's the recently established police force, you can find out citizen's take on it. I heard that people think we are a little wild, but generally good natured. There are also many things that go on in this tavern on a daily basis."
SR perks up
"Ah, a town council canidate!"
*pulls out a notebook and a pencil*
"mind if I ask you a few questions?"

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Go ahead." Rex says as he takes a small sip from the Ichor Liquor.

[Nightwing]

*He dodges some, blasting others out of the air*

Cant a man smile without getting attacked?

*Robert projects a series of images were Lori is being piped apart by the spider*

[blackout]

Big Paul looks over. :smallconfused: Ah, the elf! :smallsmile: Big Paul walks over. What's wrong with him? :smallconfused:

[Artemis97]

Raril shrieks and twitches more violently.

[Admiral_Kelly]

Jack's attack dose not go unnoticed. Alexander, remembering what had happened last time there was trouble, shouts "Everyone down! That kid just threw nine daggers at somebody's chest!" he goes to draw his sword, but the weapons restriction bracelet prevents him.

"...stupid bracelet..."

[Nightwing]

*While he is shocked, Robert fire a disintegrating Ray at Raril. It should kill him on contact*

[Pandaren]

Pandaren turns around at the stuff..
"Keep it down or I'll shut you guys up"

[Vhaidara]

E appears, livid. He cuts any telepathic connections to Raril's mind.
You [insert five minute stream of profanity here]!

Jack closes, thrusting at Robert with three daggers. It should be noted that the phazon arm moves about 10 times as fast as a normal one.

[Admiral_Kelly]

Lori sees Raril twitching on the ground. The last time she saw him grab the side of his head like that was when she scarred him off. "Raril, I'm here. What is wrong?"

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Hold on one second."
Rex pulls out his guns, shoots the green bolt at the disintegration ray, and two blues at Jack and Robert.

[blackout]

(Nightwing, what's your problem? :smallannoyed: )

:smallconfused: I will ask again, what's wrong with him?

[Vhaidara]

Lori, that thing is sending images of spiders torturing you into Raril's mind. We have to-
E takes the disintegrating blast. In his last moment, he returns fire with Kill Nightwing Character.

[Nightwing]

*Roberts is hit with the blue ray (What ever that means)*

((My Problem is that Robert is striking back at the TG. He is attack the members one by one. Also, does E die? It should kill any thing.))

[Admiral_Kelly]

Lori screams on sight at the mindflayer and grabs Raril's hand on impulse being deathly afraid of illithid.

Alexander see him appear- the ghostly mindflayer, the one who messed him up. Something within him snaps, and somehow the weapons restriction bracelet breaks off. He unsheathes his shortsword and heads toward E.

"YOU SICK BASTARD! YOU MADE ME SHOOT HIM!"

[BRC]

*looks up and notices the fighting, extends his claws and starts channeling electricity through his claws*
"Uh oh, this looks bad, I'd help but I still need to figure out a way to overide the self-defense only protocol I was built with"

[Metis]

Mortessa comes into the tavern and raises an eyebrow at the current situation.
She goes to the bar.

[Vhaidara]

Jack is also hit.

As E is currently a pile of dust, Alex's swords will have little effect, and he doesn't look very scary.

(Robert's got nothing to hold against them! Notice that he's still alive!)

[Rex Idiotarum]

((It means we're playing Freeze Tag, and he just been tags. Pretty much becoming a statue.))

[Nightwing]

((Well, Artemis fired him. He does not like that. And remember kids: Robot Brains never forget. Did E die?))

[Pandaren]

Pandaren stands up and pulls out an overly large greatsword
((Who's beenbeing the jerk))

[Vhaidara]

(For now, E's dead. But liches are notoriously hard to kill. Especially level 10 Empororer Liches, which have four soul hidey things. Two went with him, two remain.)

[Metis]

Mortessa smirks as she sips her black shadow and watches the fight.

[Artemis97]

Raril continues to lay on the ground, twitching slightly and muttering in Drow.

[Nightwing]

Robert is killed*

Nooo! E!

*She runs out of the tavern crying*

[BRC]

SR looks at Raril
"We should get him help, is there a hospital or doctor in this town?"

[blackout]

:smallconfused: He's a guy.

[Rex Idiotarum]

"He's had a psychological trauma, best leave him alone and let the spell wear off before going near him."

[Pandaren]

"..and now he's dead"
He sits back down, teh overly large greatsword leaning against the counter.



Edit:
"..and now somebody else is trying to kill somebody"

Stands up picking up sword.

Please don't delete posts, it confuses me

[Metis]

Mortessa rolls her eyes at everyone and starts reading her journal.

[Nightwing]

((Robert is dead))

[BRC]

"He's had a psychological trauma, best leave him alone and let the spell wear off before going near him."

"Ah, the things I don't know, so anyway"
*Deactivates his claws and picks the notebook up again*
"So, according to you, what are the biggest issues that the town council should adress? and how do you plan to adress them?"

[Admiral_Kelly]

Alexander looks at the dead mindflayer's ashes. Did his words of rage kill him? He hears a familiar voice Alex, he is not truly dead. Two Phylacteries remain; you must find and destroy them in order to seek redemption. He looks around to see who said this, but spots no one.

Lori tries to get through to the drow. "Raril, it's me, Lori, the one who loves you. We were going to a restaurant, remember?"

[Artemis97]

The drow's twitching slows and Lori might recognize her name being said in his incoherant mumbling.

[Metis]

Mortessa hums a little ditty to herself and wonders if there would be anyone interesting to talk to...

[Admiral_Kelly]

"Raril please, speak Common. Tell me what is wrong."

Alexander walks over "Yo drow! Damnit; that's perfect bait for the old 'poet who didn't know it' line just waiting to come up. What's the matter with you?"

[Pandaren]

((deadtime))((new oots))

[blackout]

Big Paul pulls out a little red pill.

Get him some water, this might help. :smallamused:

[Artemis97]

Raril blinks. "L..Lori? You're ok? You're alive!" He grins and tries to hug her.

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Currently the biggest issue is with the way we are able to handle crime. The laws are incomplete and rather disputed, and our courts are really low. We need ore lawyers, judges, everything.

Aside from the crime waves we have anarchy waves that think we are doing the wrong thing. The problem is, that we don't know who they are, what they want, and why they want it. I make a point that if someone has an issue with something, they should seek me out and we can talk it out. Political reforms don't come with bombs and daggers, they come with ideas and discussions.

My last point that I want to cover is the services of the community as a whole. Make it a point that we respect people to help out. We acknowledge vigilantism as a crime stopper, however, murder is murder, even if it's to prevent another.

I also would like to remind everyone that the council is only powerful because the people give them that power. As such, I don't want to take much, and will respect any issue brought to my attention."

[Vhaidara]

Helloooo! Anybody gonna let me out?

(Jack got frozen.)

[Metis]

Mortessa watches the mumbling drow for a bit, then listens to Rex expound on politics.

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Promise to calm down a bit with those Acid Daggers. Those things do hurt, you know?"

[blackout]

Paul tries to hand Raril the pill. For later, kid. :smallamused:

[Vhaidara]

Alright. Didn't you notice how he started smiling the moment that drow started writhing? That was the giveaway.

[blackout]

:smallannoyed: Hey, howsabout you shut up?

[BRC]

"Currently the biggest issue is with the way we are able to handle crime. The laws are incomplete and rather disputed, and our courts are really low. We need ore lawyers, judges, everything.

*SR records the answer*
"I see, have there been any improvements to these issues recently, or have they stagnated"

[Admiral_Kelly]

Lori excepts Raril's hug and is happy once again. "I'm more glad to see that you're back to normal. What happened back there?"

Alexander sees jack frozen solid. "I'll help you out, but after this I'm going to have to turn you in. You can't just throw daggers in the middle of public, sorry kid." he puts on the Gauntlet of Fire and empowers his shortsword to melt away the ice.

[Rex Idiotarum]

((It isn't Ice, just a Hold Spell. How many times...))

"Since the reinstatement of The Town Police Department, and it's efforts, Crime has gone down drastically. Especially when you consider that the people causing the Crimes before they came in claimed they were the police. In fact, that's one of the hardest parts of this job, the people in this town, like me, has seen it go through three or more different organizations, from KNAVES to TDI to DELTA, that claimed they were in the best interest of the people, but used fear over them. It's hard to gain their trust when you sport a badge as well."

[Metis]

Mortessa puts her head on the bartop, bored.

[Vhaidara]

Ow, hey! That burns!

[Artemis97]

"Oh it was awful, there were spiders everywhere and you.. you were.." He shakes his head unable to continue.

[Rex Idiotarum]

Rex smiles at the burning Jack. "It could've been Schadenfreude, you never know. My point is that the Acid in those daggers is a bit extreme for Vigilantism."

[blackout]

This your woman, elf-guy? Nice catch, yer a lucky man. :smallamused:

(He really should go through Jump-withdrawal veeeeery soon. :smalltongue: )

[BRC]

Mortessa puts her head on the bartop, bored.

*SR writes down Rex's answer*
"thank you for your time, good luck in the election"
*turns too Mortessa*
"If your bored I could give you a job at the paper. We could use some staff."

[Vhaidara]

Hell, I just want some peace and quiet for once. I heard this place used to be quiet, then more people came.

(Resisting urge to put an anti-aggresion field over Trog's.)

[Metis]

Mortessa looks at SR.
A writing job? About what?
She doesn't seem especially interested, but the police didn't give her much to do, and she was good at writing...

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Yeah, right. This place, Quiet? No." He shoots Jack with the Spellkiller bullet, not only should it dispel the hold, it should prevent Jack from using Magical or Psionic abilities for the next ten Minutes.

[Artemis97]

((Not if he takes the pill))

He gets up, palming the little red pill. "That I am" He smiles at Lori again then waves down a passing waiter, ordering a stiff drink and downing it and the pill in one swift motion.

((Did you just say the q-word bookboy?))

[BRC]

Mortessa looks at SR.
A writing job? About what?
She doesn't seem especially interested, but the police didn't give her much to do, and she was good at writing...
"Anything that you think would be of intrest to the people of the town. Right now I only have one staff member, and I doubt He's going to make it past probation"

[blackout]

Cue hallucinations! :smalltongue:

Paul gets the hell outta there.

Jimmy runs up. :smalleek: Did he just swallow a pill?

[Admiral_Kelly]

Lori looks concerned "Don't think about it. It never happened and it is never going to happen. Let's go and enjoy the rest of this evening "

Meantime, Alex pulls back his blade. "Sorry, didn't mean to burn you."

[Metis]

Mortessa nods and frowns, thinking about it.
I might do that.

[Artemis97]

Raril starts chuckling at nothing in particular.

[BRC]

Mortessa nods and frowns, thinking about it.
I might do that.
SR nods
"Great, you can proably find me either here or at the Times office if you take the job."
SR scratches his head
"Hmm, the Town Times dosn't sound right, I may have to change the name, maybe the Post or the Enquierer"

[blackout]

Jimmy yells at Lori. Did he or did he not swallow a red pill!? :smalleek:

[Admiral_Kelly]

Alexander and Lori deadtime. Deadtime is very cruel after all.

[blackout]

:smallannoyed: Of course.

[Metis]

What would I get paid?

[Draken]

(Bookboy and Rex said the q-word)

Behold, for the tentacles sprout out of the floor, and now they are even more ugly, they are covered with mouths, eyes and spikes, they are of a sick green color, and that has nothing to do with the fact that this place was inhabited by a Half-farspaw for quite a few days.

Nothing to do at all...

But the fact remains, the tentacles attack, and now they are so ugly they can steal the sanity of the weak with a mere sight.

[Artemis97]

Raril laughs again. "What are you all worried about, kid?"

((How lucid should he be?))

He also start laughing at the Tentacles, apparently they don't look so ugly to him.

[blackout]

((The more he takes the drug, the more lucid he gets each time.))


:smalleek: HOLY CRAP! He grabs Raril and climbs up on the bar.

[BRC]

What would I get paid?
((Grr, I dunno the material value of one gold in the town, time for a guess in the dark))
" I don't know what would be a reasonable amount, being new here in the town, How does fifty gold per article written, with bonuses for especially good articles."

[Draken]

Two tentacles attack Raril, one of then begins spiting pseudonatural spiders at the drow.

(:smallamused: I know your fears. I will use then against you, I will make your life a living nightmare :smallamused:)

[Rex Idiotarum]

Rex has seen far worse than the tentacles. He switches his gun to Red and starts firing explosive rounds at them.

[Metis]

Sounds reasonable.
Mortessa glares at the tentacles and flings bolts of enervating and exhausting energies at them.

[Artemis97]

((Sad thing is he's already gone through his worse nightmare once today, and now he's high as a kite))

Raril's laughing his head off now as he's dragged up on the bar. "Hehe, that tickles, stop it."

[blackout]

>_< ****ING JUMP ADDICT!

[BRC]

"Perfect, here, take this. When you get to the office pick a desk for your stuff."
SR hands Mortessa a key to the Times office, then looks at the tentacles and extends his claws.
"Those don't count as "People" in terms of my non-agressive protocal. which means."
SR carefully attacks the tentacles with his electrified claws, staying out of the way of the other attacks.

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Jump? Blah, that stuff isn't half as good as Agony. Refined Sadism."

[Metis]

Mortessa takes the key with a nod.

[blackout]

:smallfurious: Not helping! He starts smacking Raril. This, of course, has no effect.

[Artemis97]

Raril keeps laughing not caring about the world around him.

Lillith walks in the doors, blinks, and then draws her sword and begins fighting off the tentacles.

[Rex Idiotarum]

A small white cat with a blue collar and approaches SR.

[blackout]

Jimmy keeps slapping Raril.

Moose comes out of deadtime, and shoots the tentacles.

[BRC]

A small white cat with a blue collar and approaches SR.
SR, seeing that the tentacles are being dealt with turns to look at the cat.
"Huh, I'm surprised you havnt run away from all this comotion."

[Artemis97]

Raril keeps laughing.

Lillith fights her way towards aril and Jimmy. She doesn't look to happy to see the kid slapping her friend.

[Metis]

Mortessa yawns again and puts her head on the bar.

[blackout]

Lady, this guy's on Jump! :smalleek:

[Rex Idiotarum]

"Commotion is what I seek" Says the Cat. "Really, I've been reading the signs and asking people, and I want to join the Paper."

[BRC]

"Commotion is what I seek" Says the Cat. "Really, I've been reading the signs and asking people, and I want to join the Paper."
SR looks slightly confused at the sight of the talking cat, but then looks around the room and decides its perfectly normal for this town.
"Uh certainly, we could use more reporters mister...um whats your name?"

[Draken]

These tentacles are releasing the Taint of the Far Realms, so now they begins spiting more and more pseudonatural things. Like snakes, frogs, potatos, bees, and even a pseudonatural llama.

A bunch of tentacles move against Rex, trying to strangle him and gibbering in the forsaken language of the far realms, whispering terrible words of insanity, lust and chaos.

[Artemis97]

Lillith makes a particularly violent slash at a neaby tentacle. "And that's an excuse for hitting him?"

The drow continues to laugh.

[blackout]

:smallannoyed: Yes, actually, it is.

[Metis]

Mortessa idly flings more enervating spells at the tentacles.

[Rex Idiotarum]

The cat appears to stand up, but when he's done, he turns out to be a four foot man with long white hair and cat ears, still wearing the blue collar. "Reel Alairy, Mage to the Winzer family."

((Yes, I brought one of my D&D characters in. But he was fun to play.))

[Draken]

The tentacles stop just randomly attacking, showing a glint of insane, malignant intelect inherited from the far realms, they curl in the floor, arround people, whispering the malevolent secrets of the insane in a thousand languages that doesn't exist, and yet, they are fully compreensible.

[blackout]

(Quit trying to drive my characters insane, Draken. :smalltongue: )

:smallconfused: Eh?

[Artemis97]

Raril laughs even louder, as if the tentacles were telling a really funny joke.

Lillith seems uneasy, looking around at the tentacles. The kid hitting Raril just dropped a few rungs on her priority list. He probably deserved it anyways. "Anyone know why the tentacles are acting so strangely?"

[Metis]

Considering Mortessa has started into death and undeath for all of her life, a few funny words don't much bother her.
She starts to head out, being sure to step on a couple of tentacles as she goes.

[blackout]

:smalleek: Wait, these things come outta the floor all the time?

[Artemis97]

"Yes, but not like this. This is different. Something's gone wrong."

[blackout]

:smallconfused: Uh...where do they come from?

[Draken]

The tentacles gather and slam at each other, reaching the ceiling and weaving at there, the small snake construct flees when noticing this. They move in wicked, alien paterns, and behind then, they leave trails of energy.

(You know what this is :smalltongue:)

[blackout]

(:smallannoyed: 3rd brother?)

[Metis]

Mortessa stops, now vaguely interested in the tentacles.

[Artemis97]

((Bro # 3?))

"The basement, but these aren't those tentacles. These definately aren't those tentacles." She tightens her grip on her sword and places herself between the mass of tentacles and Jimmy and Raril.

[Draken]

(No. The third member of the uber list is not something of the Far Realms, relax.

It's just a common gate that will release a common random encounter of a common Uvuudaum :smallbiggrin:

Unless you stop the tentacles, of course.)

[BRC]

The cat appears to stand up, but when he's done, he turns out to be a four foot man with long white hair and cat ears, still wearing the blue collar. "Reel Alairy, Mage to the Winzer family."

((Yes, I brought one of my D&D characters in. But he was fun to play.))

"Ah, well mister Alairy, I would be glad to have you on the staff, I think I'll head back to the Times office though, I have a feeling that there will be alot of fighting here soon, and I don't want to get in the crossfire."
SR walks out of the tavern and heads back to the Times office

[blackout]

:smallannoyed: Well, then what are they?

[Artemis97]

((I don't think that's in my Monster Manual))

Lillith keeps watching, Raril keeps laughing.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good"

[Metis]

Mortessa rolls her eyes and leaves.

[blackout]

:smalleek: Um....crapcrapcrapcrap. This is bad.

[Draken]

The tentacles keep weaving, and now, a window can be seens between then, and on the other side of the window there is something ugly, something wicked, like a human torso with eigh arms on the place of the legs, and it's head is just a big, black, metalic spike, it's unholy voice echoes on the minds of all things, as it slams the invisible barrier.

"Release me! Release me! RELEASE ME!"

(Of course it isn't, it is on the Epic levels Handbook)

[blackout]

Jimmy fails to make a sanity check, and wigs out.

:smalleek: Ohgodohgodohgodohgod....

[Artemis97]

((I've only got the three core books *shrugs* in otherwords I have no idea how to combat this thing.))

Gods...would they help against this? I hope so. Lillith casts Miracle, to make the gate close and keep te creature trapped on its own plane.

[Vhaidara]

Jack falls back on the old standby. Namely throwing acidic daggers at hostile tentacles. Or something like that. That's what he does, anyway.

[Rex Idiotarum]

Reel Leaves.

Rex has surprisingly disappeared in the chaos.

[Draken]

The window is thin, one of the arms of the beast is clawing out of the ceiling, menacingly.

And then, the holy powers released by the spell slam the arm, twisting it in ways no arm should twist, they slam again, as if several holy spells where trying to banish the wicked creatre back to it's plane.

No! NO! CURSE YOU!

The creature is sent flying away, visible throught the thin gate, and devoured by something biger and nastier. The gate begins closing, showing the normal ceiling again, the tentacles wither and die away, leaving a sick yellow muck inthe floor as they melt down.

[Artemis97]

Truly surprised that the gods would answer her call Lillith collapses into a nearby chair and begins muttering prayers of thanks.

And Raril keeps laughing.

[blackout]

:smallconfused: Blech. Moose walks over and kisses Lillith. :smallbiggrin: Good going, Lil!

:smalleek: ....*frozen*

[Vhaidara]

And Jack tries to slip a depresant into Raril's drink. A very strong one, made for trolls. Or he would. Only he's too busy being sick on Moose's shoe.

[blackout]

:smallannoyed: .....

[Draken]

Draken, who was watching silently from the chair, claps his hands for Lillith.

Bravo, my dear.

Weird enought, he is actually smiling.

Back to the greater scene...

The mucus is stinking, a lot.

(This random encounter was brought to you by my sole desire to snap someone out of sanity and to force Lillith to use Miracle before inocents died, thank you very much, be sure that this is going to be part of a major evil plan that is so beiond the compreension of human minds that I haven't even thought of it yet, thank you very much.)

[Artemis97]

Lillith sighs and casts a Prestidigitation spell, which should clean everything nearby. She then notices the applause and smiles back at Draken.

Raril's laughter starts to quiet, apparently he's coming around.

((I'm glad you achieved both of your goals, Draken :smallsmile: ))

[blackout]

:smallsmile: Ya did good, Lil.

:eek: ....

[Vhaidara]

Jack continues vomiting on Moose's shoe.

[Artemis97]

"Yeah, I'm glad I decided to come get a drink when I did." She laughs a little.

Raril finally stops laughing and stares up at the ceiling from hsi place on top of the bar. "How'd I get here? Who moved me? Where am I? What's going on? What happened?" He speaks very quickly.

[Katonta]

Tyl walks into Trog's and goes to look for his sword, his hand grasping the air above his scabbard where the handle to his sword would be. A small clank emanates from his scabbard every time he takes a step.

[Artemis97]

Lillith smiles and waves to Tyl.

Raril twitches and glances around nervously.

[Vhaidara]

As Moose has deadtimed, Jack stops vomiting.

Ab undeadtimes, and, when he hears about it from Jack heads over to Lilith.
Chief, I need to talk to you in private about what just happened. With Moose, I mean.

[Rex Idiotarum]

The white cat returns to the tavern and approaches the spot where Lillith is.

"Meow?"

[Artemis97]

She raises an eyebrow at Ab while reaching to pet the cat. "What do you mean?"

Raril finally gets his bearings and rolls off the top of the bar to stand behind it. He starts searching for a drink.

[Rex Idiotarum]

The cat allows itself to be petted.

[Vhaidara]

When Moose kissed you.

[Katonta]

Tyl gives an absent-minded wave to Lillith and goes to the spot where he remembers almost dying on. Seeing his sword laying where he fell on it, Tyl wipes the blood off of it and puts it back in his scabbard, although it doesn't quite fit and part of the blade sticks out. He than goes and buys himself a Hot Coco and drinks it at a table around the middle of the bar and drifts off for a quick deadtime.

[Artemis97]

"What about it? You expected me to suck the life out of him?"

[Vhaidara]

No. It wasn't just an in the moment kind of thing. He came to me to ask about romantic poetry.

[Katonta]

Tyl wakes up from his short deadtime and finishes his Coco. Reaching up to his scabbard, he finds that his sword is in it and gives it a good squeeze before getting up and leaving through Trog's front door into the streets. Tyl seems sort of tranced and pretty focused as he leaves.

[Artemis97]

Lillith looks surprised and slightly embarrassed, perhaps mentioning the life sucking wasn't the best idea. "He did? Really?" She smiles.

She watches Tyl leave, wondering if she should follow.

[Vhaidara]

I'm not going to say anymore, but I think you understand. You seem to be smarter than gravel, and gravel could probably figure this out.

[Artemis97]

Lillith decides that that was probably supposed to be a compliment. "I know he cares about me, that much is obvious. I didn't think he cared so much though. This complicates things." She frowns.

Seeing that Ab spontaneously deadtimed she walks out of the Tavern.

[Rex Idiotarum]

The cat begins to nuzzle against Lillith. Then frowns at the simu edit...

[Katonta]

((Nevermind. Ignore this post.))

[Martini1992]

martini walks over to metakirb...

hi meta, and companions... everyone ok?

[metakirb]

Martini, hey, we're just talking about another corolox, thats keeping Kemros' family and his friends family hostage unless he fights him alone

Which i can't do...

so, he wants the help of a kriken sniper, a rediculous idea...

[Martini1992]

thats not the best idea cause its not really alone is it... and if u fail to snipe and kill him he'll kill the hostages.

[metakirb]

which is why we need a certain sniper, Tral Shaleth, the best of the kriken elite, never misses...

[Martini1992]

hmmm... but can the corolox defend against the sniper attack?

[metakirb]

the corolox isn't the target, he we plan to have him pick off the ones guuarding my family, then guide them out, at which point he'll fire a signal flare, which means time to get the hell out of there, but theres still the problem of whether they come after me, we may need some people to defend against any chasers, you intrested?

[Martini1992]

and these chasers would be? corolox's? ducks?

[metakirb]

they aren't named as such, they're more of a tribe of beserkers, once they get ticked off, you don't want to be in thier way...

[Martini1992]

so a load of pointed stick waving maniacs... bring it on!

[metakirb]

more advanced than that martini, swords, lances, axes, but beware, they do throw them at times...

[LordVader]

Kaleth casts Remove Soul on Robert's body, and stores it in a gem, to prevent any form of ressurection.
Erica dismounts her Serpent Fly outside and enters.
Alon steps in through a Dimension Door.
((You want to kill these Thieves' Guild members? Bring it on.:smallannoyed:))

[metakirb]

Metakirb gets up and heads out

[Shabal]

The small family huddles together in the corner of the Tavern, not sure what to make of the...bizarre...events of last night. Samuel looks a little odd, though, and the left side of his neck starts twitching wildly, much to his annoyance.
Cor, sitting on far side of the bar, realizes what today is, and turns to leave the Tavern. Right before he exits, he pauses, frowns, and sits down at a table by the door. At certain intervals, he sticks his head out and scans the nearby streets.

[LordVader]

((Duh duh duh! Invasion day!:smalltongue:))
Alon and Erica sit down and order drinks. Alon gives the Magic Elemental an odd look.
Last time I saw one of those was in the Restoration Wars.:smallconfused:

[blackout]

Jimmy remains stuck where he is, a scared expression on his face.

Moose remains deadtimed.

[fatninjacow]

both Nas and Torvus awaken from deadtime
((invasion day?))

[Shabal]

((Not quite.
They get here tonight, just trying to wrap up all the sub-plots...))
Cor sits back in his chair, looking irritable as usual, but altogether nervous.
Joanna looks with a worried expression at her son, and looks around the Tavern for Rex.

[fatninjacow]

((who get's here?))

[Shabal]

((These People. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51950)))

[fatninjacow]

((Dalas will fight with his undead legion's cause' he want's to take over the town himself))
Nas and Torvus start to get drunk again

[Shabal]

((Dalas will fight with his undead legion's cause' he want's to take over the town himself))
((...as opposed to fighting with the army and taking control of the Town that way? :smallconfused:))

[LordVader]

((I'll fight for as long as possible, before I gotta go on vacation. I'll try to keep the Titan out of it.:smallwink:))

[metakirb]

((i can see an alliance possibility for the corolox, all they care for right now is destruction))

[fatninjacow]

((I didn't mention which side:smallbiggrin:+ Dalas is on weapon restriction's so on wednesday he'll begin to attack ))
Nas and Torvus stumble around drunk

[blackout]

((The BR is still deployed, so they won't be leaving just yet. :smalltongue: ))

[Nightwing]

*Therrin limps into Trogs. She sits down, resting her walking stick on a chair next to her*

[Shabal]

((I'll fight for as long as possible, before I gotta go on vacation. I'll try to keep the Titan out of it.:smallwink:))
((Good, good...as strong as my numbers and strategy are, I think the front lines of the army might crumple a bit against a Titan...))

((i can see an alliance possibility for the corolox, all they care for right now is destruction))
((Well...the goal of the army is a little different...they really don't enjoy destruction for destruction's sake...))

((The BR is still deployed, so they won't be leaving just yet. :smalltongue: ))
((No they won't. Unless they intend to leave the Town defenseless for the next week and a half...:smalltongue:))

*Therrin limps into Trogs. She sits down, resting her walking stick on a chair next to her*
Joanna frowns as she sees Therrin. "Are you all right?"

[fatninjacow]

Nas stumble's over to Therrin
You have a monkey on your head
a dire lemur appear's on Therrin's head

[metakirb]

((well, the corolox will have fun where they can ^^))

[fatninjacow]

Dalas enter's

[Nightwing]

Yeah, I'm fine. Except for the fact a sociopath cut a hole in my leg and had a wizard put a symbol of pain inside it. And, he put a spell on it so that If I try to dispel it, my leg will disintegrate.

[fatninjacow]

So you want me to dispell it
Nas cast's dispell on the leg

[Nightwing]

*Therrin counter spellls it.*

Don't do that you moron!

[fatninjacow]

Dalas walk's over
Hello,Therrin, and that man,is drunk
he has a weapon restriction bracelet on

[Shabal]

Joanna frowns. "Oh dear...that sounds painful."

[Nightwing]

*Therine opens a portal to her pocket dimension*

Would you like to join me for a drink Dallas?

[fatninjacow]

Sure
he motion's for Therrin to go 1st

[Nightwing]

*Therrin goes in*

[LordVader]

((The Titan will only be deployed if the Camp is attacked. Also, the Galactic Empire forces will probably be aiding us as well.))

[Dunavar]

((undeadtime))
((wheres mortessa?))
((nvm i have to deadtime, ill be on later))

[ged424]

in an explosion of assorted singing mushrooms, ged appears on top of a table, singing "Oh Come All ye faithful" loudly and badly. despite the cold weather, he is wearing a pink scarf, blue mittens and a green coat. noticing where he is now, ged steps down from the stool nervously, and calls out for nina to get him a drink.

[Shabal]

Shabal joins in halfway through the song.
"...joyful and triumphant, o come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem...come and behold him..."
From outside comes the chattering of crows. Really loudly.

[ged424]

bs back on top of the table, and bellows,

Born the King angels, oh come let us adore thee, oh come let us adore thee, oh come let us adore thee christ the lord!

when finished, he asks,

do you know the second verse?

[LordVader]

Suddenly, the singing is drowned out by thousands of weapons firing simultaneously. The roar of AA cannons, the detonations of missiles, and the sharp "crack" of lasguns accompanied by the throatier bark of hellguns.

[ged424]

ged jumps down behind the table, and pulls out a small velvet bag. from within it, he pulls a bright orange marble

Dont make me do it!!!!!

[metakirb]

not to forget a faint noise of an imperialist laser sniper

[blackout]

And BR rifle and rocket fire.

[ged424]

ged bellows, despite the few cracks in his voice,

whoever has scontrol of these things, stop it before i really throw this thing!

[Shabal]

Shabal looks at the source of the noise outside, thoroughly annoyed at the ruining of the mood. He sings a little quieter while getting up to go check outside. "Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation..."

[LordVader]

Which will be completely, utterly drowned out.:smalltongue:
((The sniper rifle.))

[Shabal]

Shabal backs away as crows swarm into the building. At least a dozen of them rapidly begin flying up into the second floor, behind the bar into the kitchen, and around tables. He snatches his rifles and begins blowing several of them to the ground with a snarl. "Oh sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above..."
Cor begins beating crows to the ground with his fists. Granted, it's not all that realistic, but it looks awesome.
The family cowers from the crows.

[LordVader]

Kaleth will summon a dozen Storm Elementals. They begin blasting crows from the air with lightning bolts.

[ged424]

ged screams over the fray, still wielding the marble as a deadly weapon,

glory to god in the highest!

[Shabal]

All crows in the Tavern are fried by the lightning bolts. Their charred corpses drop to the ground, where Cosmo, grumbling, sweeps them up and out the door.
Shabal drops back onto his barstool, relaxed once more. "Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning..."

[ged424]

ged seems a little bored with this song, and finished the verse...

Jesu to thee be glory given

word to the father, now in flesh appearing
oh, come let us adore thee..... etc.


ged then quickly starts another carol....

Joy to the world, the lord has come!

[Shabal]

"Let earth...recieve...her king!"
For an orc, Shabal seems to hit high notes pretty well.

[ged424]

Ged, while throwing the marble at the general area of the storm elementals, sings

Let every heart, prepare him room,

[Shabal]

"And heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing."
Shabal grins and looks over at Ged. "Like a drink?"

[LordVader]

The Storm Elementals fly outside and continue to attack crows.
Kaleth uses a spell to stop the bead and hurl it back at Ged.

[ged424]

that would be very nice, thanks.

while he pulls out a stool for his friend, ged moves his hand in a strange way, and the marble instead of moving back towards ged, simply stops in midair next to kaleth, and drops to the ground.((effectively dispell magic, which includes magically summoned creatures as well.))

[LordVader]

Kaleth counters the bead's spell, and thus the elementals remain. He rises, and walks over to Ged.
":smallannoyed: Why are you trying to dispel my elementals, sir?"
((:smallconfused: Huh? You already said he threw it, and now it's striking the ground as he pulls out a stool? Wha?:smallconfused:))

[Shabal]

The orc tosses him some money for a drink and sits back in his chair.

[ged424]

((waving one's hand does not require visual contact with the marble, and you are lucky that he created that marble, as the higher level ones cannot be countered.))

Thanks very much for the drink!

ged completely ignores kaleth's question, but instead smiles at the orc

[LordVader]

((The marble should not have struck the ground. Kaleth sent it back right at Ged. That didn't make any sense.:smallconfused: And any spell can be countered.))
Kaleth stands directly in front of him now.
I said, why did you try to dispel my elementals?"

[ged424]

(( i edited my post there, read it again.))

ged continues to ignore him and avoid kaleth's gaze, though one of his hands now grips the hilt of his sheated sword. he instead calls out cosmo, and asks for a spot of rum.

[Shabal]

"You're welcome, but...can't you answer the man?" He jerks a thumb at Kaleth questioningly.

[LordVader]

:smallannoyed: "This is the last time I'm going to ask you. Why the hell did you do that?"
Underneath the robes and chainmails, his physical form begins to glow even brighter then normal.

[ged424]

speaking directly to the orc now, ged says

i don't believe kaleth really deserves any answer from me, i was simply trying to sing a few christmas carols. if he wants to bring some stupid summoned creatures in here, then fine.

ged then turns his head to kaleth, and gives him a defiant grin


((hello?))

[Xssar]

Xssar wakes up from sleeping on the floor, paying little heed to the soreness in his chest where people have simply trampled over him. He was large, and did take up rather a large area of the tavern's floor. Brushing himself off, he turns to the door, making his way out to explore more of the town.

[LordVader]

((Dude, deadtime prevents anyone from hurting you, it covers you with a "force-field" type thing. So he doesn't have a pain in the chest.))
"And these summoned creatures affected you how that you felt the need to dispel them? I was using them to get rid of the crows!:smallmad: "

[ged424]

It just so happens that i like crows!
