There's two beds, and heavy breathing can be heard from under one of them. It seems that the monkeys were after something else in the chest.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

One of the beds has a small child hiding underneath it, hugging a plushy squid tight to his chest. He looks to be half elf and half orc, and he's crying slightly.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Cassidy sighs in relief when she sees the child and puts an incredibly rare smile on her face. "Hey. It's safe now, those things are gone. Why don't you come out of there?"

Cass makes sure to hide most of her weapons, as she doesn't want to appear too intimidating. "Right, I'm here to get you to a safer place. What's your name, kid?"

As might be supposed, Michalson doesn't find her along the river, though he might cross the path of Gordon who is walking away from the river.
As Winston heads towards the Riftline, he'll see and hear one of the trains going by. Since there are no settlements in the woods, there aren't any stops here, so it just speeds through without stopping. It's possible she leapt aboard a speeding train - people do crazy stuff like that in the Nexus - but without superpowers of some sort it'd be a fairly deadly stunt to try.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

The child roars in Orcish for a minute, before returning to Common. "But Daddy calls me his little Thistle." He was named by his mother, despite living with his father. Although I suppose an orc settlement isn't the best place for an orc/elf hybrid child; they're more fragile than true orcs. But can't stay in an elf settlement; they're stronger and more robust than their peers. And mature faster.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

Cass looks a little perplexed by the Orcish. It sounded a little like Or'zet from her home world, but not enough for her to make heads or tails of it. "Alright Thistle, let's go see your dad. I'm sure he'd like to know you're safe."

"They defenestrated him, but I didn't hear a splat. He's always telling me that people go splat when defenestrated, but he never let me try." Orcs are renowned for their violent culture, and elves tend to be cold by human standards. Seems the combination in a hybrid is... Slightly sociopathic.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Winston will go along the line, looking for any indications of a hideaway or that someone was crazy enough to climb the thing. A rope or left over suction cups maybe. He's not sure at this point. Still, might as well keep looking.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

No, they aren't out and about. They've gone to bed, apart from a few on rickety-looking towers keeping a look out for attackers and each equipped with a large bronze gong, a bow and stone-tipped arrows, a bronze sword and armour made from leather, small bronze plates with a bronze helmet.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
{The Lost Wave}
Jezebelle is pulled closer, continuing the kiss for a moment longer. And then she gently but firmly pushes against him, pulling up for air. Wow! she breathes heavily. She closes her eyes, taking in the experience, keeping her arm stiff to try to hold him back. We need to slow down.
{Melody's Island- Alternate Dimension Where Tedious Work is Almost Fun}
It's the last ten seconds! Catoline rips out four more, leaving only one veggie patch untouched.
The first one (heading to the left) is a blackened onion, the second (heading down the right) is a friendly looking onion, the third (following right behind the second) is another blackened carrot, and the last (heading back to the left) is another glittering special veggie (this one shaped like a carrot).

"Ah, yeah probably a good call."
That smile just won't seem to leave his face. When she uses her arm to hold him back he scoots back a bit giving her a bit more space and he will unwrap his arm from around her.Check out My Writing

Vincent was apparently too much on a roll from last time and accidentally catches the first rotten one. Drats. He then proceeds to catch the healthy dodge the next rotten one and grab the last special one. Yay.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Boletaria
One does indeed wield a crazy magic weapon, but it's a sickle, not a scythe, a bronze sickle that feeds upon blood to boost it's wielder's speed. Quite useful. Would be more useful if more of the creatures here actually had blood to feed upon and One didn't have to cut himself up to fuel it's effects more often than not.
But yes, crazy magic sickle. A crazy magic sickle that allows him to easily dodge the spear jabbed his way, sidestepping towards the hoplite's non-shielded-side and aiming a trio of quick slashes at where a normal creature would have lungs, stomach and jugulars.
Alpha quickly draws his shield again, using it to block the spear aimed towards him before retaliating with two diagonal axe-blows aimed to carve an X across the offending hoplite's center of mass.
First's luck seems to have finally run out, for although he dodges the first attack aimed his way, the second hoplite oozing up from behind catches him unawares and he's stabbed in the back, gritting his teeth in pain as he scrambles to retreat out from between the two blobs.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

No. Jezebelle says suddenly, then scoots closer to him. I... didn't mean stop. Just... not all the way. She'll try to kiss him again. Softer. Slower.
{Melody's Island- Alternate Dimension Where Tedious Work is Almost Fun}
The score board appears on the screen. For every Good Veggie caught, they get 1 point. For every Bad Veggie caught, they get a -2. For a grand total of 10 points out of a possible 18.
They get a Potion of Healing for their efforts.
And then the first special veggie appears on the screen. It smiles and Jingles, then explodes into a dazzling light show. They've won a..... Coin Pouch!
The more gold you keep in your coin pouch, the more damage your attacks do.
Then the second glittering special veggie appears on the screen. It dances and spins, then explodes much like the first. They've won a..... Golden Hat for him, and Golden Earrings for her.
Never be seperated again. By wearing these items, if you get seperated, just think of the other person and you'll be there. Only works if both characters are wearing the items.

"Oh."
And that is all he says before he is happily kissed again. This time going slower letting her take the lead. If at all possible with their position he will try to take her hand in his and simply hold it gently.Check out My Writing

"Not another coin pouch."
"Oh well. Guess we can sell it to make up for some of the money we're going to lose here. You were adorable by the way." Vincent says, going ahead and equipping his new helmet.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2012-07-24 at 07:57 PM.

[Peaceful Field]
"I'm not exactly mundane myself," the shapeshifter points out, forming an eye in the palm of each of her hands to prove her point. "Besides, that was nice. I could have thrown it hard enough to shatter your ribs, if I'd chosen to. Instead, I tossed it hard enough to sting for a bit and gave you some advice on how to get more people to give you things."
[Mornvale]
For the most part, the town of Mornvale is quite peaceful. The occasional bit of Nexus weirdness, of course, or bandits preying on the traders, but the militia, the priests, or the mages (though there weren't very many of those, admittedly) could handle most of what they were likely to see.
Now, however, a full-scale attack was about to be launched. The plans were being gone over a final time, the last scouts were reporting back, and those of the force who required weapons and armor were gearing up for the assault, and, save for the vampires, who had to wait for the short time until the sun set, those who were ready were getting into position.Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2012-07-25 at 08:20 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
"...****." Well, screw this plan. Darrel has no desire to remain hiding here with hordes of demons on the beach right outside. They're highly likely to get spotted just hiding at that point, and even if the demons don't bother checking around then there's still the issue of being stuck inside a robot's head with no supply of food or water, and an army to deal with right outside.
No no, best to deal with this now.
Darrel's remaining clothes get thrown on with remarkable haste. "Stay here. Keep quiet."
And then Darrel jumps out. Screaming. "ALRIGHT YOU ********! WHO WANTS SOME?"
It might seem a bit foolish to do that. But Darrel has no idea how they're operating the portal. If distracting them and making them lose concentration closes the portal, it's worth losing the element of surprise.
If not? Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Fugitive! Near the Riftline
Once Winston reaches the Riftline, he'll find the travel much smoother. An effort was made to disrupt the forest as little as possible during construction, but it still required trees to come down and ground foliage to be cleared. In some places the rail runs along the ground, and in others, where the ground dips, it is supported by pylons. Of course the area under the rail at these places make nice potential hideouts.
Or ambush spots.
Or places to plant explosives to try and derail a train.
How close is Winston getting to them, and how is he going to explore?

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

Hmmm...
Well that's not quite as high as I thought it was.
Winston and Magbot 2.0 will search through the forest's edge, traveling alongside the rail until they reach a dip spot. Wherein, they'll go right up under the thing and look around under the rail. If they find nothing, they'll cross to the other side and then continue searching along the forest's edge on that side, but keeping the same direction of travel. And repeating as necessary.
In other winds, in sort of a sidewinder path, crossing under and checking under the track each time there's a spot to do it.
