Fugly? What's that mean? She sees the blue glowing ball of bugs, and growls at it menacingly. I hate bugs. They get in your fur, and they are not easy to get back out.

"Extra ugly."
Vincent looks at the ball of bugs.
"Maybe we gotta walk up and A it to fight?" Some things were weird like that. Had to be all special and not just regular *krrsssh*

"Nope, we gotta follow it now. It's moving." Vincent says, starting after the ball of bugs.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
Lava Fields
The flaming liquid pours over Jakob as he screws his eyes shut, shielding the only vulnerable parts of him from the flames as he concentrates on his other form, and chitin quickly replaces his charred and burning flesh as his mass erupts into a churning, twisting bronze snakelike creature with three gnashing beaklike heads that all screech in defiance to the flames that have engulfed it. Its hard plates of insectile armor seem to be warding off the heat and burning liquid for now as it rushes to where the dragon is plummeting, eager to sink its beaks into the dragon's exposed eyes and neck as it falls.
Jakob has given himself to his beast half, and is reveling in the blood and pain of both himself and his enemy.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

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.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

The dragon hits the ground with earth shattering force, splitting open the obsidian all around it. Flames wash over the area as its wound is torn open.
Amidst the flames, though, it can be heard growling and thrashing about, far more lively than it ought to be given its injuries. Jakob can likely narrow in on its location withing the swirling flames and smoke, but it might take a few moments to get there.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Well what happens next depends on the nature of the bugs. If they've turned fully aggressive and will stay that way, it's most definitely *krrrssshhh* time.
If they're part of some puzzle element and will only guard that one spot, Vincent is bounced back, though Caroline's barrier protects him from damage that would have resulted.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

The swarm of bugs scatters on hitting the barrier, each going its own way.
Thunderbugs are usually nonhostile, but when triggered by fast movement or touch, will try to inflict electric damage. However, they usually gather around important areas in forests. Follow the trail of thunderbugs, and try not to get too zapped.Avatar by Emperor Ing

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Jakob roars and curls the tail that has replaced his legs before darting forward into the mass of flames and trusting his plated hide to save him from the majority of the fire's damage. His scythelike trio of arms cut a wide horizontal arc as he whips them back and forth, hoping to intersect with something meaty he can grab hold of and tear into.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"Blech. Well... hopefully this won't be too hard." Vincent says. Just avoid the environmental hazards.
Vincent will check that stump again now that the swarm dispersed.

There's no sign of the swarm regrouping, but by standing near the stump, Vincent should be able to see another blue ball of light, low to the ground in the area behind the stump.Avatar by Emperor Ing

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
Lava fields
Jakob's blades slice through the thick smoke but find no purchase.
Not at first.
But eventually they hit home, sinking into something soft and wet. The smoke draws back from the object and reveals the crumpled corpse of the dragon, smouldering in the heat.
Well... Most of the corpse. The stomach has been rent clean open and the innards seem to have been evacuated. It must have disemboweled itself with its wild thrashing. Or something....
All around Jakob, the fissures in the ground are roiling with what looks like tar.
A voice speaks from somewhere in the smoke.
It wasn't a dragon. Just using one it found to get around. Keep your guard up.Last edited by Jacklu; 2012-10-18 at 07:16 PM.

Caroline turns to look at Vincent. Well, I guess they're not going to reform. Hey! Maybe Lily knows where to go from here? ((Note for Reinholdt: Caroline remembers the little pixie's name, Lex-Kat seems to have forgotten. ))

That'd be Annie, the original HEY! LISTEN! fairy of the Nexus.

"Then dragon was dead before it came to me, and I have wasted my time here. No more time shall be wasted." From the beast's three beaks, fire bubbles and spews forth as Jakob casts another spell, aiming three sprays of flame over the bubbling tar. He wants to see how this substance reacts before trying to eradicate it for stealing his kill so shamefully.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

The tar roils under the flames and falls still. After a moment, the ground starts to rumble. It splinters and shifts.
An ear piercing shriek splits the air. A bubbling mass of black tar rises in front of Jakob. It curls into itself before erupting upwards, forming a huge ropy tentacle tipped with dozens of barbs and curved claws. It waves menacingly and sweeps towards Jakob.Last edited by Jacklu; 2012-10-20 at 06:31 PM.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Jakob laughs heartily, a strained sound coming from throats who treat such jovial things as foreign tones.
Slapping the obsidian with his tail, it shifts and heaves below him as a hookfaced beast rises up before him, made of the same flowing stone that the wall he summoned was earlier. The tar-like substance can crash into that instead of him as he moves back and weaves another quick enchantment over his own flesh, the effects of which are not yet visible.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

The tentacle hits the obsidian. Instead of breaking the stone, the tentacle bends around it and continues its pursuit of Jakob. At the same time, two more identical tendrils erupt from the ground and sweep after him as well.
The ground further fractures and something huge writhes beneath the stone, rapidly breaking through the surface. Numerous smaller tendrils rise from between the stone, waving and coiling at the air.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Jakob's own form twists and shifts as the whips approach him, his flesh bending under the will of the spell he just cast on himself to allow him to dodge without care for anatomy or natural laws. As he dodges though, one of his claws lashes out low, attempting to sever one of the barbed lengths of tar from the rest of the mass.
The creature made of living stone that he created simply begins smashing its brittle fists into anything that it can reach which it sees move.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Don't say that. You'll hurt her feelings. She's very useful. You just don't understand her. Caroline sticks her tongue out at Vincent, childishly.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Jakob lops the end of one of the tentacles off. The severed bit falls to the ground and writhes. The ground shudders and heaves upwards as the mass of the creature finally emerges.
It towers about the battlefield. The main body is a thick as a sequoia tree, ending with an eyeless head that is mostly mouth. Countless tendrils cover its body, wiping about blindly. Many of them end in wicked scythes. The three larger tentacles attach to the creatures base. Now above ground, it reeks of sulfur and tar.
With a roar, it lashes out at Jakob with all three of its main arms, striking again and again in quick succession.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

"No one understands her cause she doesn't say anything worth knowing!" Vincent says before turning to head in the general direction the blue bugs kind of pointed.
Annie appears on Caroline's shoulder and cries on it.
