Drew turns to see what she's talking about and sighs.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
"I agree. And I think," Val says with a grin, "that Marcie is attracting attention from a cute boy." She giggles.
---
"Oh. Is it your...familar?" Marcie asks, having picked up on some of the local lingo. "Or a...sin-bee-oat?" She sounds out the unfamiliar word slowly.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Sinbeeoat?
Drew raises an eyebrow, unfamiliar with what word she may even be trying to talk about.
I guess you could call it my familiar. That's how Kalim describes it. Or as an annoyance. I mean, it really does give away personal information at times.SpoilerPart of II.I.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
"'Symbiote'," Val calls over, helping her friend out.
Marcie nods. "Ah, yes. Symbiote. And, if it is annoyance, why not make it go away?" she asks, figuring there's a good reason, but being in the 'making conversation' stage at the moment.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Drew shrugs,
I've tried. It isn't always around, but it's annoying when it is.
He looks back over to the table that he'd left. Panther-Man, Kalim, is seated again, raising an eyebrow in amusement as he watches Drew.SpoilerPart of II.I.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
"A familiar is a...magical animal, that a magic-user has as a companion," Val explains to Captain Tobias, winking back and giggling softly. "Like the proverbial black cat that follows a witch, or a sorcerer's owl."
---
"Oh. Could be annoying, yes," Marcie agrees. Then remembers her manners. "Have seat?" she offers, waving to a chair. "Llamaade is good, Drew."

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
"Thank you, Val." Tobias replies, choosing not to point out that he knew this already. He's torn between observing Val's interaction, and keeping his eyes on Minat. So right now, his attention is split between the two.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Val blinks in surprise, then giggles.
"Sorry. My mind was wandering and I thought you said less familar."
She blushes a good bit.
"I should probably go ahead and eat something more.."
"I was soldier in Flemish Defense Forces," Marcie says proudly. "Third Home Air Defense Division. Arrived here via...accident." Now, she looks a good bit sad...

Marcie shakes her head quickly. "No. Was...displaced in time. Lost many friends. Finally frozen seeking rescue." Her smile returns a little. "Was found by her." And she points at Val, who waves.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Time to wake Zee up!
And what better way to wake her up then by throwing something at her!
And what better thing to throw than an armored bear!
Wait, what?
A pixelated portal swirls into existence near the ceiling, giving no real warning before disgorging an enormous brown bear covered from head to toe in thick plates of brass armor. The beast hurtles through the air like an angry, fuzzy missile before slamming into the bar, all but obliterating it.
This results in Zee going, "Eeee! Armored bear attack!" and leaping out of the way at the last possible second, avoiding the fiery explosion that ripples out from the point of impact, bursting bottles of booze and blackening the wood-work.
...where did the explosion come from...?Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Zanny undeadtimes to find a giant armored bear in the tavern! And explosions!
"Ack! What's going on!? Random encounters aren't supposed to happen inside taverns!"
The bard leaps atop a table and starts playing his lyre. Blue sparks fizzle as his fingers dance along the strings. A large, inciting and sizzling living salmon appears flopping near the door. The succulent scent of the raw meat promises a great meal. Mmmmmm... The bard's illusionary magic tries to make the bear chase after the salmon to a place away from the tavern. He'll handle the explosion after the bear is gone.

Foro undeadtimes and sees the giant bear. " Hooray! Fun time! " He cheers happily pulling his staff out from behind his ear.
Soon the magma monkey has the staff out and at it's normal size for him. " Foro suggests bear give up now. " Foro says with a smile on his face.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Explosion, singular. There's only one explosion in the tavern at the moment.
One man hides from the armored bear! That's probably wise!
Another attempts to bait the bear away with fish! Sadly the bear is angry, not hungry, and this attempt to patronize it only serves to further increase its frothing rage! With a bone rattling bellow the beast charges at the bard, aiming to take his head clean off his shoulders with one of its massive (and armored) paws!
The bear ignores Foro!
Too bad the explosion doesn't!
The roiling cloud of flames, ash, force, and hate lashes out at the magma-ape with a psudopod of pure destructive power. The heat probably won't bug him much, but the massive concussive force of said limb exploding on contact might!
Apparently it's an explosion elemental. Probably a close relative to the elemental plane of badassery.
Zee, meanwhile, is busy dragging a customer to safety. Got peppered with some wood shrapnel. Ouch.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Grr. Stupid rage. Always stops the illusions from working. Time to get serious.
Zanny dodges the incoming paw by dropping down on his back, but then easily pulls himself up again using only his legs. Those break-dancing lessons come in handy. The bard jumps off his table to another, his feet carefully not touching a single glass of alcoholic beverage.
Zanny puts his hand on one end of his lyre and jerks it to the other end, hitting all the strings. A dagger appears in his hand, which he promptly throws at an unarmored joint on the bears body. He quickly strums up another dagger which is also launched at the bear. A third scale puts a long rapier in the bard's hand. Which he readies for stabbing.Last edited by VampireRot; 2010-09-06 at 02:12 PM.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
"What the..."
*BOOM!*
Is what Captain Tobias is suddenly experiencing. And generally, when something made of fur is exploding at you, it is a good time to find cover.
"GET DOWN, VAL!" He yells, pulling her under the table for cover, hoping that Marcie will be smart enough to do the same.
A wild bear on a rampage...this is not good. He pulls his gun out, and prepares to fire on the bear if he can manage to get a clear shot...

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Bah, looks like Ape is MIA.
Moving on!
Getting a clear shot on the bear shouldn't be terribly hard. It's a bear. A very large bear. Wearing armor. The armor will make getting a shot that actually counts for anything a little harder, though.
As Zanny so carefully leaps away the bear proves to have no such compunctions against smashing stuff, booze included. The table is sundered in a shower of shot-glasses and splinters by a mighty paw-swing. As for the dagger, unarmored joints on the bear seem to be rather lacking. The heavy brass armor plates are under-girded with steel chainmail, which does a decent job of taking most of the bight out of the throw. Looks like that bear means business!
The beast charges Zanny once more, intent on simply plowing him to the ground.
As for the explosion, it seems to have grown bored with the lava ape and turns its incendiary attention on the good captain and his pals. The volatile being hurls a chunk of itself at them, which will rather unsurprisingly explode violently on contact with pretty much anything.Last edited by Rebonack; 2010-09-06 at 02:20 PM.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
"Damnit! Stop wrecking the booze! I drink that!"
Zanny grimaces at the poor brave alcohol's sacrifice. The bard jumps... high! Much higher than a regular human. With a fancy front-flip that was in no way necessary, Zanny tries to land on the bear's back. He'll probably just stand on the raging bear's back like it was a flat and unmoving floor. The bard tries to stab the bear in the back of its neck if he succeeds in this daring maneuver. If its wearing a helmet, he'll try and flick it off with his rapier.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Getting a good shot at an armored bear would be a difficult shot for your average marksman.
Tobias was no average marksman. He was far from average, and far from under-equipped.
His targeting device sought out the area of greatest vulnerability, both from a magical and physical point of view, examining the armor for weakness, and any magical aura for an equally weak point.
It found it, and Tobias knew well enough how to aim his gun at the point it chose.
With both hands, taking a careful shot with the hammer half-cocked, he fired.
And as he did so, a flash of light issued from the muzzle, a blue light that streamed forth like a laser, but carried with it the magic power to pierce through three inches of Adamantium. Tobias knew this, because he had tested it himself. And he had aimed it at the most vulnerable spot on the bear's body.
There was a good chance it would go straight THROUGH the bear, assuming it would hit him properly.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Zanny manages to do a cool flippy maneuver onto the back of the rampaging bear! What an awesome trick! He lands on the bear and stabs it good right in the neck! Too bad that won't outright kill the bear any time soon.
The beast hefts itself up onto its hind feet and stumbles backwards, aiming to smash the bard into a nearby wall that happens to be stocked with fine ales.
Zee and the maimed guy are presently huddled behind part of the bar that isn't blasted to smitherenes at the moment. Makes for decent cover. Poor maimed guy, who we'll call Lewis from here on out, has several rather nasty wounds from big pointy pieces of wood being stuck through him. Someone might want to do something about that.
The demoness looks rather irritated at the moment.
"Stupid curse... I would still be able to help him if I didn't have it..." she glances up at Mister Twitchy as he scurries into their hidy hole. "You said you're a surgeon, right? Can you help him?"
The captain's shot strikes true! Right through the heart! Too bad grizzly bears can still survive for a good fifteen seconds after their heart has been exploded. Also too bad that the captain was so focused on the bear that he didn't notice the pyroclastic ball of death being hurled at him.
It'll probably be exploding in his general proximity any moment now.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"Hah! Perfect sho...oh shi-!"
His mind changes tracks fast, and his concerns are simple. He grabs Val, and jumps away with her, the blast hitting the back of his coat as he tries to escape the main force of it, not having time to tuck his gun away or reload it, just tumbling away from the blast as fast as he can.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
What kind of bear is this?! Stabbed through the neck and shot in the heart and still alive and kicking?! Darn you cruel magic-filled world! Zanny curses his luck. Not the fine ales!!!
What to do? Maybe he can grab the wall and use super strength to keep the bear from crushing the booze and him against it! Or maybe he can teleport the ale away with magic! Perhaps a polymorph spell to turn it into a frog? Ah! Wait! I know! Zanny strums his lyre and- CRASH!
...
Gets crushed against a wall of fine ales, most of which get crushed as well.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
Fifteen secounds could be a very long time. For a bear. Long enough at least to hurt someone. So Kalim has to act fast.
And so he rushes the bear. As he makes the distance, his soul becomes semi-fused with that of the soul of a bear he had met on previous adventures.
What does this mean? Well, quite simple is that since Kalim only partial fused his soul with the bear's, he only gains something that a normal bear would have in terms of ability. In this case, Kalim is taking a bear's typical weight.
So essentially, he's throwing himself, with the weight of a bear, into the bear.SpoilerPart of II.I.

Re: [NEXUS] Trog's Tavern CCX
The explosion elemental seems displeased that its last attack missed the Cap and his pals. They would have burned so beautifully, too! The creature hefts a pair of pseudopods toward the ceiling, making a horrible rumbling bellow before smashing both limbs into the floor.
Huh...
Nothing happened.
I could have sworn it would have blown up or some-
The ground under Tobias decides that now would be the best time to explode violently.
Zanny might be glad when the bear is peeled off him after being tackled by a guy who happens to weigh as much as a bear at the moment. The beast stumbles away, crashing through another table. Seems to be ruining a lot of furniture today.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!
