"Blech. Some sort of trick in the room. Least it's not a neverending maze where you have to choose the right directions each time." Vincent says, turning around to go fight another group of fishmen and clear the room to better look at it.

"Well I'm out of ideas." Reinholdt admits. It was what he was trying to help Aiden with.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
The orc is silent for a few moments as he considers this. Is he dissapointed? A little bit, but not a lot. He'd suspected this was a pacifistic organization early on. But he could still make use of it, if not what use he'd hoped for. Access to a healer was always useful. And what else was he but someone with nowhere else to go?

So after the fifth fight, after which Caroline goes up another level, they now have 15 Fish Scale Armors, 5 Rods of Ice, and 1500 gp.
Now that they have gone back, then forward again, Vincent will see a "hidden" door that most definitely was not there before.

"Right. Good luck with that then." Reinholdt says, having the exact opposite problem.

Cut Scene!
They find the typical old man, long white hair, face so wrinkled that he looks like her's perpetually squinting, big bushy eyebrows. He's sitting on a comfy looking couch, facing away from the door watching what looks like a big screen teevee.
As our heroes walk closer, they'll see that he's playing a video game. A young elf boy with a huge sword and a nymph babe carrying a torch walk into a cave facing the back of an old man, playing a video game.
The Carolines gasps. That's us!
The Old Man, both on the screen and in front of them, turns to face them. Oh ho ho ho!! You've found my sanctuary.

Oh. Oh! This is the part in the game where Vincent pretends they aren't in a game and is totally shocked.
"What's going on here?!"
He'd much prefer to just ask the old man if his name is Oz, but doesn't want to break character.

Pets and food and food and pets!
The Huldra seems comforted by the little girl. Bring his mind back to the present and what good things he has in the here and now rather than dwelling on what's lost. No reason to sulk! The Emperor still has something for him to do!
Just...
No idea what...
But surely that will become clear with time.

Storytime
"Pathfinder used to tell us stories when we were locked up together and Waterstrider did too, but Pathfinder knows more of them because he's a shaman and Waterstrider is a savage. But when he told us stories then he didn't look all scary and spooky or turn into smoke and there weren't spirits there, unless they were invisible because the horse man and the dark woman did magic to keep him from talking to spirits and we were kept in cages and it was really mean and we never had enough to eat and we had to use a bucket instead of a toilet and sometimes they hit us and then Pathfinder and Waterstrider would do whatever they said to make them stop, and they promised they would protect us and that it would be okay, and now it is!" Lily says.

Well of course.
The Huldra flicks one of his ears.
Quirks his head off to the side a little.
"My... I suspect your story is a lot more interesting than mine is," he muses. "Though maybe a little more sad."
People putting children in cages and beating them sounds terrible.
Slaves, really?
Why would anyone need slaves when they have hard working peasants to till their land for them? That's just crazy.

"Me too! And I'm going to learn how to fight so I never ever get locked up again, and when I grow up, I'm going to become a Wolfen like Renetta did! And then I want to marry Pathfinder but he might marry Brinika's aunt Reelshka first and I don't know who I'll marry then, but Pathfinder promised it would be okay so maybe he knows another Wolfen that I can marry, but I don't know if I'll love him as much as I love Pathfinder and Waterstrider."

Reelshka's long ears twitch.
It's pretty well-equipped and we have competent medics. Why do you ask? Are you injured?

My my!
Doesn't this little girl have far-reaching plans?
"I'm sure you'll be very fierce, Lily," Freddy replies.
A beat.
"Wait. Someone here at Glog had their race changed? From something else into a Wolfen?" he's starting to sound kind of excited here! "Do you think it might be possible that I could be made human again? Have this curse removed?"
Because not being a Huldra anymore would be great!
He's not so sure he would be keen on being a wolf-person though. But if worse comes to worse at least he wouldn't be nomming souls.
And then petting! The Huldra feels warm. Like a big fur rug that's been sitting in front of a fireplace. He's doesn't object to the contact at all. In fact he welcomes it. The demon fox is far too afraid of his hunger to let adults touch him. But children? He doesn't have to worry about harming children.
He offers Brininka a foxy grin. "Good evening M'lady. You may call me Freddy if you wish. Are you enjoying the story? And would you like to climb onto the blanket? There's still plenty of room."Last edited by Rebonack; 2012-05-02 at 11:53 AM.

"Mhm, it was Renetta. She used to be an elf and now she's part elf and part Wolfen because the Dawn Wolf did it so that she and Waterstrider and Flamecrest could be a family and all be the same. I bet the Dawn Wolf can change you too, cause Pathfinder told us lots of stories about her, and she's the mother of all the Wolfen and takes care of them, and you kind of look like a wolf, so she probably will take care of you too!"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
Storytime!
Kashi sulks a bit at being ignored by the tiny little goblin girl, but halfling pets make everything better.
And halfling foods. While he waits for the story to start up again, Kashi grabs another random cut of meat from the basket to nom, starting up his coin and gem production again. It's much more visible now that he's eating properly, so Freddy, Brinika, and Lily can probably watch the process as he sweats out a few coins, a pearl necklace, and a fat ruby about the size of a thumbnail right before their eyes.
The ash sprites can watch too, and marvel at the provider of noms.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.
An amazing Misha, Mimi, and Riss painting done by Ofride.
For anyone in plots run by me, know that I always tailor solutions to those in the plot. The answer may not be obvious, but it's there, and doable by the displayed abilities of the present characters. If you need help or hints, I'll try to be available to provide them.

Treasure is falling out of the dragon as he eats stuff. That's really weird. And it would probably depreciate the value of treasure quite a bit. That's why Random Encounters don't give out real gold and gems!
Just for show you see.
Anywho!
Fredrick smiles somewhat sheepishly. "Ah, well, I don't think foxes and wolves get along very well. Traditionally speaking."
Given that wolves are quite happy to eat foxes.
"But maybe. If I got turned into something else then I wouldn't need to eat ghosts anymore. But... I'm not sure if this Dawn Wolf person's power would be able to overcome Discord..."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

First a big fox, and now a dragon! Too much for the tiny goblin with a notoriously short attention span. She spins around and looks at Kashi with wide eyes.

Julie scoffs, "Trust me, if there's anyone more unsuited to raising a child than me, I couldn't name them. Once you've got some rules set down for yourself, like always make sure their heads are well protected, and stay near them in case of crying, you'll get the hang of it." That mothering instinct is present even in succubi it seems. Julie doesn't really believe Cessie's serious about her concerns, but that's mostly because she's blanked out the part of her memory that covered her own little emotional freakouts about becoming a single mother.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
Sprite #2, by now, has decided that freezing and being perfectly still is an excellent course of action.
After all, he just got kidnapped by some strange creature's...tentacle? Arm? Leg? Some weird appendage it doesn't entirely agree with.
Maybe if it sits really still and doesn't try any funny business, the dragonite won't eat it.
Meanwhile, the other sprites have continued their advance on Kashi.
They'll continue until they're pretty much right up against the peculiar dragon, staring up expectantly.
Or well, probably staring.
They might be getting horribly distracted by any coins that are nearby.

Aaww...
Freddy was looking forward to another episode of Lily's silly rambling! Looks like it has been interrupted by the weird little ash things. While the Huldra is pretty sure they aren't dangerous he still needs to make a point of being protective of his little friends!
The demon fox' ears fold back as he growls at the soot sprites that get too close. Sounds like your typical canine growl combined with the noise of a crackling fire.
...
Fire sounds probably don't bother the sprites much.
But maybe the big growling demon fox will?Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Kax is quiet for a few moments. He watches the bonfire, watches the smoke rise up from it. Considers what next to say. He glances at Reelshka, but doesn't quite meet her gaze. The information he was seeking could be dangerous. Could bring danger to these people. Could she hear him, even now? Kax didn't know. Didn't want to risk it unless he was sure. That, and a mix of pride, made him very careful about how he phrased his next question.
"Your infirmary," he says, ignoring Reelshka's question, "how does it fair against magic?""You tied your wings on tightly but they always come undone"
