Silly Rein is silly!

Alrighty then! Let's see what else Rein has acquired!

Ring #4! This ring is an expensive ring of regeneration! If Rein injures himself accidentally or, knowing Reinholdt, less than accidentally, it should greatly accelerate his healing factor! It also might burn him a little bit when he turns into a bloodthirsty vampire later on.

His wounds, if there are any, should begin to heal as he slips this ring on.

Just out of curiosity, can vampire Rein morph himself into a vampire bat?

Ring #5 This ring. This awesome ring. It has been enchanted with a spell that imparts a clairvoyance effect upon the wearer or bearer of the band. The clairvoyance effect is one that I think is particularly useful. It allows the user to view what his/her target is seeing. It can only be used on organic lifeforms, but still its potential in the fields of sneaking and spying is practically limitless.

Seeing the water of the lake through the eyes of a fish may or may not happen while testing this ring.

Ring #6 Net gadget ring. This ring can shoot up to three strong, durable, teleportation-blocking nets at people a day. These nets can carry an elemental charge if they come into contact with an elemental spell/projectile/creature/environmental hazard. It also can create up to sixty feet of mundane rope once per day.

Ring #7 Ring of frost! If ever Reinholdt wanted to chill a drink instantly, go ice skating without a lake or snow, or literally give someone the cold shoulder, this would be the way to go. It can only be used on objects/people that are physically touching Reinholdt.

Ring #8 Ring of the Green Lantern small green things. Rein may find that he can create a small number of little green objects every eight hours while wearing this ring! He could make anything from an army of (inanimate) plastic green soldiers to a plate of green eggs and ham to a military green box of machine gun ammunition! The desired item will be in Rein's possession when he summons it. Unlike the Green Lantern, however, Rein could spawn in complex machines and devices like, I dunno, a grenade! I simply had to at least reference the Green Lantern with one of these rings.

If Rein isn't thinking of anything green while testing this ring, it won't do much, probably.

The necromancy amulet (plot item) could resurrect the dead in the hands of a skilled mage! It probably won't do much for Rein, though.

The spellbook is a fleshbound compendium of useful dark incantations for summoning and controlling demons, daemons, and the undead. The enchantment on it prevents it from deteriorating with age or burning up. There is another enchantment which the book is imbued with that shields the bearer of the text from mental compulsion and allows them to translate scribbles in foreign languages, especially forgotten or evil languages.

The free shotgun was a Winchester with 10 shells. While not an enchanted weapon, I forgot to reiterate this in the loot list. It isn't a S-Mart's top of the line 12-gauge double-barreled Remington, but it'll do, I think.

"Jinkies! Did you find out what the altar was for?"

Lintha inquires, trotting over to a tan folder across the room and setting Altar's membership forms into it.

"You may be a god who transferred himself into a mortal vessel if you woke up in front of an altar. Or maybe you were really evil and prayed in front of it for a fresh start or something!"

Well, gang, it looks like they've a mystery on their hands...

-------
[Upstairs]

He's a soggy plush toy so he's icky and Lintha doesn't like touching soggy, icky things!

The inhaler is a normal inhaler manufactured for humans, yes. Lintha wouldn't want to actually drop Mister C into the inhaler and misplace him or anything. Misplacing a member would go over poorly with any safety inspectors who would show up in response to that mishap.

Lintha would guess that Mister C drank, absorbed, or hammerspaced the 4-5 liters of water. She's happy that Mister C is okay, but she's none too keen on figuring out how the tiny creature held that much water.

[Upstairs]

((Green Lantern Ring? Rein should go to Andy for training. Oh Green Lantern can spawn complex things, like a car for example. 5:40))

Well a the water get's pumped out Mr. C also get's dry. And if she doesn't do anything to kill him or other things he will wake up soon. Befor he even speaks up he will get a tiny book out of his collar. And there he writes down something.

[Basher]

[Central Lodge]

"I.. really don't know. I just woke up surrounded by several men. I didn't see their faces.. I don't know but they just threw me away after I woke up.. "

He looks down at the floor, as to remember what happened.

"That's why I'm here.. to find out about myself."

[The Alexandrian]

[Termina Field]

Not only will no fish ever swim in this frozen lake ever again, now it will be plagued by a bloodied, ghostly Necromicon that murders campers in the dead of night with papercuts while screeching "Read me aloud!" at them! Rein's name will be whispered in fear in this land for generations by orphans for ruining their idyllic paradise! Reinholdt the Apocokitty rides again!

And now for...

... BRAIN BLEACH! What I have read must be unread!

Someplace nice like the dark, secluded, and forbidding forest with the red eyes and rustling behind the pair or the perfectly safe green clearing with the dead, obviously not formerly chatty and smiling trees nearby?

"Yes. I also had oranges, lemons, bananas, and apples in there. Why? Do you want some?"

"And again, thanks for getting us out of that laboratory place. I'd be dead if it weren't for you saving me from those big monsters!"

That were mutated males of her same species.

[Upstairs]

((>.< That's right! Derp! ... But they totally shouldn't be able to because that makes them too OP. Either that or everything in the world should be yellow. ))

Lintha picks up a big butcher knife and attempts to stab Mister C with it!

Erm...

He's writing something down? Lintha can't help but wonder why he isn't talking?

"Are you okay? You weren't breathing!"

Lintha is genuinely concerned for Mister C's health! He nearly died in there and now he's not speaking!

"That wasn't supposed to happen! The drains must've been obstructed!"

-------
[Central Lodge]

"They threw you away?"

Wow! That's harsh! Then again, crazy religious zealots living in isolated places aren't exactly known for their hospitality to outsiders...

"Were they wearing black or white clothing? Did you have anything your pockets when you woke up?"

Lintha attempts circle Altar twice, looking for anything out of the ordinary! She really wants to help Altar find himself like a good person would do even though she's a daemon not a person and she's of a neutral alignment at that!

[Reinholdt]

[Termina Field]

Reference get.

Someplace nice like... probably in her tent, cause there's no where else even close to nice.

"To be fair, it seemed more like they were going to play hide and seek with you rather than kill you." Reinholdt replies.

[The Alexandrian]

[Liz's Tent]

"They'd play hide-and-go-seek with me for keeps. And what if they got hungry? Between them, the zombies, and the traps, I wouldn't have made it out of there alive."

Liz takes a long drink from her wineskin. Nothing is going to stop her from celebrating her victory and mourning her loss by getting intoxicated!

[Reinholdt]

[Liz's Tent]

"Probably." Rein says with a shrug. Maybe. Possibly.

"So after we eat, we should head to the base I came from." Unless it's coming along nighttime soon.

[The Alexandrian]

[Liz's Tent]

"I'd be happy to escort you back to your base, but I'll have to return here and pack up before I leave for your homeland."

Liz replies with sadness in her voice. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but she knows she shall return to Rein on the morrow (if sun took an IC month or two to set and rise again, that is ). Nightfall shouldn't be upon the forest for a couple more hours, so back to the base with Rein it will be, probably.

She chugs down a quarter of her wine, clearly determined not to be alone and sober when Rein takes his leave of her.

"How many zombies have you put down in your lifetime?"

Liz chews on a chunk of juicy pineapple!

[Reinholdt]

[Liz's Tent]

"Not enough."
You can never put down enough zombies.

Reinholdt drinks some wine, though not nearly as quickly as Liz.

[Basher]

[Central Lodge]

Since entering the area, he's been wearing traveler's clothing, so there's nothing but ordinary on what he is wearing.

Altar's head follows Lintha as she circles around him.

"I believe I saw them wearing dark cloaks. In fact, I was wearing one when I woke up."

He slings his bag to the front of him, unzipping it. He takes out a folded clothing from the bag, while he zips it and slings it to his back again. Holding the folded clothing, he hands it over to Lintha for examination.

"Here, that's what I was wearing before. I couldn't wear it anymore because I had people glaring over me when I was walking away from where I was thrown."

The look on Altar's face is very serious, and desperate. He really wants to know about his past.

[Zefir]

[Upstairs]

If she would take alook on the book's title, she would know why he writes something down there first.

"I think I'm fine. Many things around here aren't made for a creature my size. A puddle for you is a see for me. And so on."

He appears a bit depressed.
