You're right, there's no time. So let her to and scram. Some of us have to earn a payche- oh Whistles!
Michalson waves his staff in the air, which causes a thick wall of black brambles to erupt from the ground around him. Hopefully the shield will absorb the grenade blast.Last edited by Morty; 2012-08-03 at 06:03 PM.

Won't be time for that if a grenade gets them all.
"Look out!"
Winston goes to dive the other way.
Magbot on the other hand, lets go of Linda to jump on the grenade-like object. So brave.
Oh no. Wait. He meant to jump the other way, but got confused and landed on it instead. Nevermind. The bum.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2012-08-03 at 06:06 PM.

Linda gets jerked back, shadow shield goes up, and Magbot 2.0 goes leaping for the grenade. The shadow shield slows the Magbot, so he isn't able to fully block the grenade. He could have been turned into Magbot 0.5 plus shrapnel, or the shield wall may have protected him from getting terribly damaged.
The tent catches fire, but all the PCs can make it out safely with the prisoner if they don't dawdle. Minor injuries may have occurred.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Gordon tries to pulls Linda out of the tent. If he can help it, then there's no way that she's going to out of being punished by dying.

"...alcohol?" What on Laira does alcohol have to do with... anything they've been talking about, really? Is- is that an insult? It could be interpreted as an insult.
But Elkie wouldn't insult her, so she accepts the comment with a mildly confused look, and answers the second bit instead.
"Hmm, somewhere quiet and secluded. Somewhere there won't be any brawls, or battles. Somewhere no-one will appear to drag you away from me again. Somewhere surrounded in nature. Unfortunately I don't know anywhere quite like that." She frowns. A shame. It sounded lovely.Thank-you Ceika so much for my awesome avatar!

Caroline frowns, but loses it to a small fit of giggles. That's just ridiculous. she smiles. But okay, which game should we try next?
((There was the fishing game, but that was for one player only, and the caring for the sick game, incase you forgot what was left.))
{Melody's Island Beach}
I had a great time, as well. she smiles. The first time I've ever enjoyed being on the sea. Thank you. she waits until Derek offers his hand, and carefully steps back onto land. She resists the urge to kneel down and kiss it.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Yeah, the alcohol! You know, when you exchange the vows, the beer you have to drink. I would definitely marry you, except I might pass out. The drow finishes dressing and moves to drape an arm around her shoulder.
Hey, I've got a place like that! Right out in the country. It's a little cottage, right in a forest!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.
guess what I was gone but now I'm back

"Let's do that soup game thing." Vincent says. Kinda pointless to argue her back into it and then ditch her for the fishing game.
Well not pointless so much as mean and cruel.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

Michalson gets hit with a few pieces of shrapnel, but the shadow shield absorbs the brunt of the explosion. And gets destroyed in the process, of course. Still, he's bleeding from a few cuts, which does nothing to cheer him up.
She's going with us to the MagCave. If you want to take her somewhere else, you've got a fight on your hands. Otherwise, come along. Magtok can handle this clown and there's no time to waste. Michalson opens a shadow portal.Last edited by Morty; 2012-08-04 at 12:11 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

Winston already got injured in the line of duty! It's some else's turn.
Well, I guess Magbot 0.75 counts. I mean... he can still move at least. If walking in awkward ellipses counts as moving. I wouldn't count on him holding onto any prisoner anymore though, so Gordon's probably needed.
Winston doesn't want to be around here much longer, but he also is wary about jumping into SPGTs he's never seen before. "What's that?"
Magbot 0.75 doesn't have Winston's hesitation and walks around awkwardly until he manages to align his path into it and go through. Takes a little while though.

Assuming Gordon helps with the prisoner toting, she can be safely taken through the shadow portal. To the MagCave thread!My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI

The party leaves the forest. The burning tent continues to burn, until it reaches the little stash of explosives near the pylon.
*BOOM*
The Riftline escapes with no damage. The explosives hadn't been properly placed, and there weren't enough of them to do the job anyway. But its a good job the party got out when they did.
Also a good job it rained recently, so the fire doesn't spread far enough to be a disaster.

The pit lord takes flight rather quickly, but Damon should still be able to grapple it even after shape changing. But the instance he holds on to it's feet it spins around and attempts to cut off the tentacle with it's sword which is supernaturally sharp.
Meanwhile Damon should be able to feel a draft coming from above. Feels like something is descending...

Astrana returns the hug with some hesitation. They had to talk about this later, the question was if either of them could handle it. "It's okay, let's just find a place for you to stay for now."

Unfortunately, the room is devoid of hiding places besides the no longer invisible chest. There might be something of use through one of the door-portals, however.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Cass sighs and decides to take the pyramid with her through the mahogany door. Maybe it's safer in her hands than in the open.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Sznovf- Wizard's Tower
Through the mahogany door Cassidy will discover a large chamber with three doors leading away. This main chamber, however, is a laboratory, with a workbench against one wall and scattered liberally with wands, cogs, springs, gears and tools. Some of the tools are rather mundane; others are clearly enchanted- either made of solid crystal or another unusual material, glowing slightly, or scuttling across the worktop on many articulated legs, each ending with a different sized screwdriver. In the centre of the room is a large, white table with four chains leading to a currently-open manacle. The table's very clean, though a nearby rack of knives, wands, and strange implements that seem vaguely surgical stands nearby- as with the worktop tools, some of these are also enchanted, though none seem capable of self-locomotion. On the walls are more racks of tools, surgical implements and also diagrams- some of anatomy, some of constructs like the monkeys and some of them describe the necessary processes for enchanting swords, guns, clothing and armour, amongst other, stranger articles.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

The laboratory isn't much interest to Cass. On another day, she'd probably steal the more valuable-looking objects, but she's actually here for a reason now. Instead, she heads through walks to the leftmost door and opens it, keeping her SMG at the ready.Last edited by Devixer; 2012-08-04 at 05:47 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Sznovf- Wizard's Tower
Through the left door is a long corridor flanked on either side by ten heavy oak doors reinforced with steel beams. A small barred window enables somebody to see into the cell beyond. The nearest cell is on the right, the second nearest on the left, and they continue alternating in that manner the rest of the way down the corridor. At the end of the corridor is a solid stone wall carved directly from the unyielding stone of wherever this part of the tower is; the door was a portal through space, after all; this could be anywhere.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Cass paces down the corridor, opening each door as she goes. She should've figured this tower would be huge; this was going to take a while.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Sznovf- Wizard's Tower
All of the doors are locked, unfortunately. Behind are a number of similar cells carved of unadorned rough stone, each containing a flat shelf covered in blankets, an orb of sickly blue light and a small grate in the floor. Most cells also contain a prisoner or captive, which may or may not be alive, and may or may not be decomposing regardless of the answer to the previous question. Most notable are a cluster of giant snails huddled together in the corner of their cell, each inside its cell, a muscular, red-skinned horned humanoid bound in chains of solid iron; resting nearby is a large, two-handed sword, a bubbling mass of ever-changing flesh and an angelic creature whose legs, arms and wings have been turned into stone; it's weeping tears of mercury. The cells are either empty or contain something which is either dead or very good at pretending to be dead.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Cass passes by each cell without interest. She turns around and heads back for the central laboratory and then the middle door. She grumbles to herself all thus while.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXXI
Sznovf- Wizards Tower
Through the middle door is a large chamber resembling an ancient, dilapidated temple. Along each side of the room are tall columns, most of which have fallen down, and all that remains of the pews are the marks on the ground of where they once were. At the far end is a vast mosaic, missing too many tiles to determine exactly what it once depicted, but it's mostly blue, green and purple. Beneath the mosaic is an altar upon which rests a human child wearing a dusty blue silk tunic and a silver collar to which he is chained to the altar. The child appears dead, although closer inspection reveals his chest rising up and down.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!
