Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.

(Fair enough, get ready then.)
Alyx blinks a reply, Beatrix seems a bit impatient though. "Isn't just saying 'okay' enough? Do you really have to blink out long words too?" She questions the pokemon who just seem to ignore her as he will suddenly launch Mawil high up into the air. Hopefully she will see something from here.

Some twists in the air gives Mawile a good 360-degree view. When she starts falling, she curls up so that she'll land on her sturdy jaw, protecting her from most of the damage.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII: Sorry, I had a bunch of tests.
[Dragon-Slaying Quest]
There are, in fact, two or three good sniper shots. On the side of the valley where the bandit camp is, there's a rocky cliff above it, perfect for hiding amongst the rocks. On the other side of the valley, there's all the trees, and the scope will help in aiming from that far away.
"I'll do my best," replies the woman. She turns and sneaks down the valley a little...after all, if they don't see her until she gets close to their camp, they might get suspicious. If they think they see her first...not so much. There's definitely time for John to get into position.
Zorzo then walks up towards the camp, very visible to the two bandits around the fire. She waves. One looks a little weary and the other looks lighthearted and maybe even a little drunk. They converse. It seems the conversation starts to go downhill. Finally, Zorzo offers her most visible weapons in exchange for a chance to talk to their leader. The merry one takes the weapons over to the south tent before returning with a bottle of wine (that must be where they keep the armory and food), and the sober points her to a tent on the north side.
Zorzo enters the north tent.
Waiting only for three measly seconds after she enters, the suspicious bandit silently wakes up three more bandits from their sleep and leads them away from the camp. They start plotting in a hushed voice, with malicious looks on their face.
A wild textbox appears!
What does John do?
) Catch moths and other bugs?
) Sneak down to the south tent to find the weaponry?
) Indiscriminately snipe everybody?
) Try to overhear what the bandits are talking about?
) Wait to see what happens?
) Turn into a werewolf and charge the camp, mercilessly tearing out their souls?
) Go fishing in the little river?
) Eat the dreams of the bandits who are still asleep?
) Something else?Last edited by 5a Violista; 2013-02-09 at 02:45 AM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Magtok withdraws, and turns his attention towards the drilling, even if there's not a whole lot to watch. Probably just a whole lot of clouds of dirt and little bits of rock being kicked up and thrown around, really.
"We should probably talk to Pat and see if she'll have one more. Probably should've asked her ages ago, really, but by the time I realized she wanted kids, well..."
Yeah, by then Cassius had shown up, and Maggy had hardly any time to think or act at all. Before Pat's cyborg could put the whole MagCave family together, he wound up harpooned to death by that awful human supremacy movement.

"<Okay... over that way,>" Mawile points to the west, "<Is the closest edge of the forest. That way,>" She turns to point north, "<Was some kind of lake, and that way,>" She points east, "<The forest gets a lot thicker-looking. However, That way... ish, is what looks like a small town.>" She points to the southeast.

Homework Under the Sea
"I DON'T WANT ANOTHER MOM!" Margret exclaims decisively. It probably sounds louder than it really is inside here, but that's also probably negated by all the digging noises.
The drilling can be kinda boring, yes. More fun to watch a five second montage of someone else doing it.

"Alright! Okay that's fine, I'm sorry I suggested it! She'd accept you as one of her own in a heartbeat if I asked, is all. But I understand, maybe it's better that we don't. What about socializing with kids your age, though? I mean, there's plenty of them down by GLoG, and as long as you bring a squad of the 'bots and get home before nine..."
Man, Magtok has so much guilt hanging over him over this lousy inattentive father business, doesn't he? I mean, if he'd be willing to overlook his loathing for GLoG of all things...

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Dir'Ba Cave
One the move again. Deeper in the cave they go, past the area inhabited by the dire bats. The ground gets damper and the smell of smoke and waste fills the air. Ruisphah starts to get anxious as the cave starts to narrow.
Ahead of them the cave turns to the right. The flickering light of a fire illuminates the wall from beyond the bend and the faint murmurs of a course voice can be heard. It is impossible to make out what the voice is saying, but it stops every now and then as if waiting for a response. A conversation perhaps?
It is likely that they are approaching their goal. It would be wise to proceed with caution.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII

Gerbo looks back at the rest of the group and puts his finger to his lips to signal for silence.
Crouching low, ready to charge in if he's noticed, he pokes his gnome head around the bend, to try to peer inside. Gerbo can't see in total dark, but if there's at least a little light he can see almost as well as in broad daylight. His pupils dilate almost to take in all his eyes as he strains to understand what's going on in there.PbP Junk and Stuff:

"Finally, great job everyone! Pizza is on me when we get there!" Beatrix says before she starts to walk east, Alyx having to quickly attempt to follow her.

"<Oh, good, pizza!>" Pizza is good! But Mawile does pay attention to Alyx's blinks. "<I didn't see that distinctive red roof, if that's what you're asking. Or the blue roof of a 'mart, but they might have more traditional buildings there. We won't know for sure until we get there.>"

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
[Dragon Hunting]
John picks a spot in the woods that has enough cover to keep him hidden as he watches the camp. He curses to himself silently as she heads into a tent. He can't really cover her if he can't see her. He hopes that she is OK and doesn't make any sort of move yet not wanting to start something she might be able to talk her way out of. To far away to hear what the men are saying he keeps watching for now. He tries to see what kind of weapons these bandits seem to be carrying.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Zangora Forest to Town
The town is a good bit away, and when they get there the first thing the group is likely to notice is that it's empty.
Utterly, utterly empty.
No people, no birds, a whole lot of nothing.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Zangora Forest to Town
Mawile looks around a bit, and then shrugs. "<Maybe we can find a map? I remember someone saying that making maps of the nexus is impossible, though.>"
She looks around a bit more. "<Where would we start?>" Most of the buildings around here are houses, but over there are some larger buildings. Might be a market street.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Zangora Forest to Town
Beatrix looks at Alyx for answers and apparently he got some. "Um, okay. Let's split into teams of two. Me and Alyx and then Mawile and Crystal"
She takes up the blue and white ball from her bag andsends out Crystal who immediately turns to look at Mawile, grinning at the other pokemon with her row of perfectly white, razor sharp teeth.
"Let's start with those two houses. After visiting one house make sure you can still see the other team before moving to the next one, we got to keep close. If anything happen just scream... or something."

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII

Mawile nods to Beatrix, and then waves Crystal toward the houses. She knocks on the first door, as there is no doorbell, and then waits a bit before knocking harder.
The first house that Beatrix visits will not respond to knocks, but she might notice that it is unlocked.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII

Beatrix doesn't bother knocking, she will have Alyx telekinetically open the door to see what's inside, staying a fair distance away once it opens. Who knew what creepy things that could be hiding in there?
Meanwhile crystal is still looking at Mawile, seemingly far more curious by her then the town around them. She won't do anything for now but seem rather amused for some reason.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Empty Town
It seems to be empty. There is some light filtering in through the windows, but she can turn on some electric lights if she wants to. This appears to be a living room, centered around a fireplace. Over there is a door, open to what appears to be a dining room.
Mawile also tries the knob on this door, and it's locked. Not going to press the issue, she steps away and notices Crystal. She's somewhat familiar with Sableyes, the creepy things, and knows that what they're thinking doesn't often show on their face.
"<You have something to say?>" Mawile asks.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII

Beatrix peeks in quickly and without really entering the house she seem to be done. "Oookay, looks empty, doubt they keep maps in there anyway." She quickly closes the door and hurries away fro the house with Alyx trying to follow her.
She then turns to look around again, there had to be a map somewhere. Maybe there was one in the store? She looks for a building that looks like it would be the general store. They sometimes sold maps right?
Meanwhile Crystal keeps her grin but shakes her head without replying. It's like a joke Mawile just isn't in on.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII

When she gets close enough, it will looks like those larger buildings are stores! That one there is a bakery, as is apperant from the number of delectable treats in the window. Further down the same street is a general store, though.
Mawile simply moves on. A joke that she isn't in on... that's a Saybleye's default state of life, she thinks. Mawile figures that the 'joke' boils down to 'I'm a Saybleye and you're not.' As for why that's so entertaining...
Yeah, no. Mawile just moves on; trying to figure out Sableyes can only bring tears. If Beatrix begins moving toward the shops, Mawile will follow.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Empty Town
Treats... so hungry... but she couldn't eat food in a creepy ghost town could she? It just looked like everyone had stood up and left. Maybe there was a volcano nearby or something? Some natural disaster?
Or maybe they all had been taken away by mole people. Whatever the reason, she didn't like it. Maybe... she tales up her cell phone to see if she can get in her location now. It hadn't been working for hours but this place counted as civilization right? It had to work here.
While she does that, she continue towards the general store, letting Alyx keeping an eye on things.
As Mawile wanders towards the shops, Crystal follows. If Mawile listens closely it sounds almost like the Sableye is copying her every foot step. Only moving whenever she's moving. Nearly in perfect sync with Mawile. What the reason for this is though is anyone's guess.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXIII
Empty Town
It's because Sableyes are creepy. They love it, they revel in it. Mawile does not care!
She also eyes the treats, and even sniffs at them. "<These aren't old. These aren't old at all...>"
The general store is unlocked, and a ringing bell lets the interior know that the door opened when she opens it. Inside is full of various things, a few snacks, a few other supplies... no maps readily apparent, though.
