Imban:

People are on 2F, so I got a message that someone dropped tokens on 1F...

Taemhain: (( ahh, thats why it looked funny, id forgotten we changed floors ))

Threden:

Fleed still has a token down there.

Faiz: (( I just copied mine for ease of reference, really. ))

Tilus: (( It loaded on 1F. ))

Tilus: (( for the record. ))

Imban: (( that's because MapTool picks starting maps out of an rng. ))

Imban:

Regris mogmog.

Serra: (( ;_; ))

Forge: (( Maptool ))

Faiz: (( WHORT ))

Azar has connected.

Forge: (( AHURGHABLURGHA ))

Regris has connected.

Faiz: (( THERE Y'ARG ))

Forge: (( So is Faiz still readying a table? ))

Faiz: (( I am still betabled, yes. ))

Forge: (( Bork bork bork ))

Faiz: (( IMS DUER HUERR ))

Imban: (( wat ))

Faiz: (( (I forget did I ever go full-on Swedish Chef when we were doing that gamenight insanity Blaine) ))

Forge: (( BIIIIIIIG BOOOOOOOOOOOO ))

Forge: (( You MAY have ))

Faiz: (( Go knows how well I swag that shit. ))

Forge: (( Maybe when I get an actual computer and not babby's first compadooter we can skypomophone while playing random free shit ))

Faiz: (( Haha~ ))

Faiz: (( WE WILL SKYPEAPHONE BORDERLANDS AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS ))

Threden: (( Commenterate on stuff with me. ))

Forge: (( That is also planned ))

Forge: (( Once I have all this shit I need replaced replaced ))

Imban:

... :

* Imban putters about making Lavos noises.

Adric Kain: (( HI IMBAN ))

Imban: (( HI MECHA ))

Serra: (( * Tilus starts making Luminaire noises. ))

Taemhain: (( *considers the merits of keyboard as pillow* ))

Forge: (( Imban is now a Ravager ))

Forge: (( You cannot unsee ))

Taemhain: (( imban is my friends cat? ))

Taemhain: (( no wonder it likes me so much ))

Serra: (( well he is kittenban so ))

Azar Macan: (( right, sorry, Had to do some stuffs ))

Forge: (( More like a bloated bug with a gun on its head and lots of tiny little skittery assholes inside sacs on its underside ))

Imban:

wat :/

Imban:

So, last time on SCales of War, our heroes scouted out most of the second floor, and then threw a table at some dude.

Forge: (( Faiz is now a Dudley Boy, as he GOT THE TABLE ))

Taemhain: (( see, forge, you couldve left that description out and i wouldve been a lot happier because i didnt know what a ravager looked like before ))

Forge: (( Sorry ))

Imban:

Oh, wait. Faiz threw a BED at some dude, and is now holding a table.

Imban:

Whatever.

Forge: (( A dude got furniture'd ))

Serra: (( same difference! ))

Taemhain: (( large wooden objects are involved! that is all ))

Imban:

The point is, after something like that happened, no one without actual HP is going to charge up the stairs after you again.

Forge: (( Also I get to try and remember I'm a monk after all the staring at Rogue stuff I've done ))

Imban:

And so, no one seems to be charging up the stairs after you.

Threden:

OBSERVATION: Your action seems to have frightened the other targets.

Taemhain:

Should we charge down there and see if there are more?

Serra: (( At least you're still the same general thing, blaine. I built a honkin' defender. ))

* Faiz just stands there, looking mildly confused that nobody seems to be charging to their deaths. Considers using the table as a makeshift stairsurfing implement.

Adric Kain:

Apparently they're smarter than the rest of the guys we've fought.

Forge:

Surprising.

* Faiz rumbles.

Serra:

"There almost certainly are more, and they seem to be waiting for us to make the first move.

Taemhain:

Well, we could throw the table down the stairs and see if we hit a couple more?

Threden:

RECOMMENDATION: Approach from different angle while forces are confused.

Forge:

We cannot rule out the possibility that there are more tables downstairs.

Taemhain:

I don't know another way into that room, do you?

Serra:

"I didn't come across one on the way up, at least."

Adric Kain:

Nope.

Azar Macan:

I would presume the other set of stairs in the main room leads to the room below us eventually.

Forge:

I believe that if Faiz was able to kill one with a bed, they cannot be very tough opponents.

Serra:

"And it's likely that we'll run into other inhabitants before we reach the ones below us."

Serra:

"If we try a surprise ambush, that is."

Taemhain:

Meh, I'm sticking by my charging in there plan.

Threden:

RESPONSE: Being struck with flung furniture can result in signifigant injury.

Forge:

As can being hit by a charging Faiz, but several things remain standing after that.

Faiz:

I HAVE AN IDEA, AND SOME OF YOU WILL NOT BE CONVINCED IT IS A GOOD ONE.

Adric Kain:

They will in the book.

Faiz:

OH, GOOD.

Taemhain:

Let's hear it.

* Faiz pushes Adric backwards a little bit just so his TINY TIEFLING BODY does not become primed for any ridiculous trap that may result re:falling through the floor. Raises free fist.

Serra:

"I think I can guess what is going to happen next."

Taemhain:

I think I like this plan!

Forge:

This will not end well.

Adric Kain:

I take it back. They will think it's a bad idea.

Adric Kain:

Do it anyway.

* Serra meanwhile steps baaaaaaaaa~ck.

* Wolfsbane flies, doesn't give no shits.

* Faiz QUAKE TIMEs the floor, ideally to drop the slab of it that he and the two around him are on onto the floor below!

Faiz:

Attack = 27 vs. AC       Rolled: 14     Bonuses: 13 Damage = 13   Physical       Rolled: 3     Bonuses: 10 Effect: Creates a Close Burst 1 zone of rippling earth until the end of your next turn. If targets inside the zone attempt to leave, they are knocked prone and take 2 damage.

* Serra visibly winces as Faiz does as Faiz does best.

* Forge looks down the hole

Imban:

Faiz smashes through the floor... which crumbles away, dropping half of the party!

Forge:

I am beginning to rethink naming the war academy after him.

Imban: (( Faiz, Taemhain, Threden, make Acrobatics rolls ))

Faiz:

Acrobatics = 18       Rolled: 15     Bonuses: 3

* Threden rolls: 1d20+4 Robot Acro => 17 + 4 = 21

* Stuph rolls: 1d20 => 3

Taemhain: (( alas ))

Forge: (( We said make ))

Taemhain: (( i told the die to do it! it didnt listen! ))

Imban:

The three heroes fall through to the lower floor, shattering a table below them when they land! Taemhain seems to take the brunt of the fall, though.

Human Lackey 2:

W-what? D:

Faiz:

HI.

Taemhain:

"Oof! Usually being this close to the ground means I fall *less*"

Threden:

GREETINGS: Hello, mortals.

Faiz:

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS FINE VINTAGE TABLE?

Forge:

I suppose we should go down there.

Faiz:

I'M NOT SURE WHAT WOOD IT IS CARVED FROM BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY PRETTY STURDY.

Imban: (( So hey, cross-map initiative is broken, so move onto the stairs and then roll initiative ))

Wolfsbane:

Are you all working for that... Queen or whatsit?

* Adric Kain peers down.* I'm not jumping.

Forge: (( Can one just jump down the hole? ))

Imban: (( Sure, if you want to make an Acrobatics check ))

Serra:

"Well, we've made our grand entrance, we should go ahead and follow up on it!"

* Threden rolls: 1d20+5 Let's Robattle. => 17 + 5 = 22

Faiz:

Initiative = 5       Rolled: 1     Bonuses: 4

Adric Kain: (( SO HAY REMEMBER +1 ))

* Stuph rolls: 1d20+5 => 9 + 5 = 14

* Blaine rolls: 1d20+12 Acro => 2 + 12 = 14

Faiz: (( Can I use my horrible initiative as a POST-TABLE THROW thing? ))

Imban: (( Hold on, you jerk. ))

Imban:

Tilus, I literally cannot put you on the initiative because you are on the wrong map.

Imban:

Fix this.

Serra: (( Fixed. ))

Serra: (( Consider me still on F2 though. ))

* Azar rolls: 1d20+4+1 GO TIME! (-1 if not near Ardic) => 8 + 4 + 1 = 13

Serra: (( Or there, sure ))

Forge:

Initiative • None • Ikuze! Ima ga sono toki da Initiative = 16       Rolled: 8     Bonuses: 8

* Imban rolls: 2d10 => 15

Forge:

Forge loses 8 hit points.

Imban:

Forge... unfortunately less jumps down gracefully, and more lands in a pile.

Forge: (( Oh, 14 is not that good huh? ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+3 ENEMY GOES D: => 4 + 3 = 7

Faiz: (( Not when he has a PLUS TWELVE I'd say. ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+3 ENEMY GOES D: => 14 + 3 = 17

* Imban rolls: 1d20+3 ENEMY GOES D: => 6 + 3 = 9

* Imban rolls: 1d20+3 ENEMY GOES D: => 8 + 3 = 11

Forge:

Not... my best landing.

Faiz:

MAYBE YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN HERE FOR THE RIDE.

Imban:

Anyway!

Threden has received initiative.

Imban:

Threden and Faiz get a surprise round.

Faiz: (( Oh! Haha. ))

Taemhain:

I don't think it would've gone any better.

Imban:

Then I'll sort the init into proper order for round 2.

Serra: (( So I've just realized something. ))

Serra: (( these human lackeys? ))

Serra: (( are EVIL TWIN BRUCES. ))

Wolfsbane: (( Aw why didn't my 20 get added. ))

Faiz:

Wolfsbane:

So... just burn them right?

Taemhain:

No, I think it's too late for that, Faiz.

They don't look like important supporting characters anyway.

* Regris rolls: 1d20+9 vs. Reflex => 9 + 9 = 18

* Imban rolls: 1d20+6 => 3 + 6 = 9

Serra:

"Well that doesn't sound very pleasant."

Forge:

That is not an encouraging sound.

Threden: (( I said last time we totally should have attacked it while upstairs~ ))

Azar Macan:

Is that the thing from the courtyard? I knew we should have shot that thing to death eariler.

Adric Kain has received initiative.

Wolfsbane:

'eh.

Serra:

"I guess the beast next door is out of its' cage."

Carrion Crawler:

The door to your left seems to have been opened by a small, black, spiky thing, revealing a Malboro.

Adric Kain:

Hmm.

Taemhain: (( at least it goes last @.@ ))

Yep...that's a thing.

Forge:

Now I need to see what this is everyone is talking about..

Forge:

...oh. That.

Adric Kain:

That.

Faiz:

YEAH.

Forge: (( Done ))

Adric Kain: (( Hey is the way behind me blocked off by rubble? ))

Faiz: (( Looks like it's gated, if nothing else. ))

Wolfsbane: (( is that a switch ))

Faiz: (( Seems so! ))

Imban:

It's gated, yes.

Taemhain: (( should i go press it? ))

Imban:

The switch is in the room you just cleared

Taemhain has received initiative.

Forge: (( I imagine it's that crank thing ))

Threden: (( Well, you'd be double-moving to get over there. ))

Azar Macan: (( so he wouldn't have a standard to use it, then. ))

Taemhain: (( mm, im going to ignore it then ))

Faiz: (( Clearly he can charge the switch. ))

Taemhain: (( well i have to use a standard just to stand up anyway ))

Taemhain: (( i think? ))

Faiz: (( "I OPERATE IT WITH MY HEADBUTT" ))

Threden: (( Standing is Move. ))

Imban: (( move, but yes ))

Taemhain: (( oh well either way ))

Threden: (( But you'd have to convert a Standard to a Move to... well, move. ))

Azar Macan has received initiative.

Taemhain: (( thats what im doing ))

Taemhain: (( one of you long ranged people can operate gate cranks >.> ))

* Imban kittenbans the corpses.

Azar Macan: (( done. ))

Serra: (( What action is it to turn the crank anyways? ))

Imban: (( standard ))

Serra has received initiative.

Serra: (( Yeah, I'll get into position to debuff this thing. ))

* Serra quickly heads down the stairs, not wanting to be left behind~

Threden: (( It's not like we need to crank it right now. We'll have unlimited standards after the encounter ends... ))

Serra: (( Done. ))

Carrion Crawler:

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR

Taemhain: (( well i was thinking "escape route" ))

Forge:

We heard you the first time.

* Carrion Crawler slinks off around the corner.

Faiz has received initiative.

Faiz:

...WELL.

Forge:

....did I hurt its feelings?

Taemhain:

OH, WHAT?

Serra:

"It's cowering from us?"

Taemhain:

I bet you there's a trap in the room.

Adric Kain:

Probably.

Serra:

"There quite likely is."

Azar Macan:

Wasn't there a patch of sand on the side of the room it was on, and not the other side?

Taemhain:

I think so.

Faiz:

ALL IN FAVOR OF CLOSING THE DOOR THEN?

Adric Kain:

Aye

Wolfsbane:

Sounds good.

Taemhain:

Sure.

* Faiz a-shut

* Carrion Crawler a-sad.

Taemhain: (( lol ))

Faiz: (( Yeah let's just go upstairs and snipe it like a bunch of jerks. ))

Serra:

"So, what now? Do we head back upstairs and attack it from above?"

Adric Kain:

Sounds like a plan.

Adric Kain:

Of course in the book you'll heroicly face it in close combat.

* Wolfsbane pulls lever. What's the worst that could happen?

Taemhain:

Maybe us melee-er's should stay down here in case it knows how to open the door?

* Faiz leans against the door. Rumbles.

Imban:

Wolfsbane cranks a crank larger than her. Somewhere, someone uploads the video clip to /d/.

* Wolfsbane sets the narrative on fire.

Imban:

Meanwhile, behind Serra, the portcullis clanks and rises.

* Serra looks behind her, watches the gate rise up.

* Wolfsbane then flies up.

Taemhain: (( I've got an idea guys! Let's split the party! ))

Forge: (( NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY. ))

Faiz: (( Well we have two Defenders, two Strikers, two Leaders and two people who can turret from upstairs. ))

Wolfsbane: (( I got this. ))

Faiz: (( It'd be at least MILDLY ACCEPTABLE to double-front-battle this in case something stupid happens while the ranged attackers are upstairs. ))

* Wolfsbane zzzap?

Imban: (( roll initiative for that, sure ))

Faiz: (( Oh, we're not gonna use old init? ))

* Regris rolls: 1d20+3 Init go. => 4 + 3 = 7

Imban: (( oh, we could ))

Imban: (( sec ))

Imban:

OH EXCEPT WOLFSBANE IS ON THE OTHER MAP SO THE INIT TRACKER BROKE

* Imban just grabs paper, jots down init rolls

Taemhain: (( not..paper! ))

Azar Macan: (( shall I go ahead and go upstairs to turret? ))

Adric Kain: (( Pa.....per? ))

Faiz: (( Just use ghost markers for Wolf like we did with the pikers in the first fight. ))

Wolfsbane: (( I am fine with this. ))

Threden has received initiative.

Wolfsbane has received initiative.

Imban: (( OK, go ))

* Regris rolls: 1d20+9 vs Will! => 8 + 9 = 17

Serra:

"I should probably follow Wolfsbane upstairs. Just in case she's ambushed while she's busy firing at that thing."

* Regris rolls: 1d8+6 zzzap => 5 + 6 = 11

Carrion Crawler:

Carrion Crawler loses 11 hit points.

* Wolfsbane can't see any allies, so whoops no bonuses for them

Adric Kain has received initiative.

Taemhain:

It probably wouldn't hurt to have a couple more people up there helping hit it.

Azar Macan:

Osaou and I shall go as well!

Faiz: (( You can see me, in your heart. ))

Adric Kain:

Clearly there will be no consequences of all of the magic users without heavy armor going off alone.

Imban: (( If you go to floor 2, please ghost yourself here and make a token on floor 2. ))

Azar Macan: (( so should we *actually* move up ther eon our turn-okay ))

Imban: (( Otherwise I shall sad as you break the init tracker ))

Taemhain: (( init tracker go boom :3 ))

Forge: (( We could just hammer it down here ))

* Adric Kain moves up too.

Azar Macan: (( whoops ))

Faiz: (( This is how you make Imban feel when you break tracker. ))

Forge: (( Seriously what's it gonna do, get past the wall of steel? ))

* Imban eats Daiya

Faiz: (( PORTAL GOLEM NO ))

Azar Macan: (( how do I ghost token ))

Azar Macan: (( MECHA THAT IS A WALL NOT A WINDOW ))

Adric Kain: (( Copy it ))

Imban: (( copy, set self to Hidden ))

Imban: (( as in state ))

Forge has received initiative.

Azar Macan: (( are..we supossed to stand in these, or? ))

Imban: (( only Wolfsbane can stand IN them ))

Imban: (( everyone else stands behind them ))

Imban: (( then move your Hidden token to where you are, ))

Imban: (( Forge's go, btw. ))

Forge: (( Door closed still? ))

Imban: (( Yes ))

Forge: (( Then I'll just chill here ))

Azar Macan: (( my init is 13, by the way. I got baleted because I did things wrong ))

Taemhain has received initiative.

Imban: (( insert Daiya picture ))

Serra:

Carrion Crawler:

... ROAR?

Faiz: (( ...what ))

Faiz: (( Can't we like HOLD IT SHUT? ))

Taemhain: (( im going to guess the doors open *in* ))

* Threden wave

Carrion Crawler: (( Oh, are you trying to hold it shut? ))

Carrion Crawler: (( Okay then nevermind ))

Faiz: (( That's what I was intending to do. ))

* Carrion Crawler leaps onto the nearest pillar and scuttles up it about five feet!

Faiz:

Faiz: (( SO WHAT IF I AM ))

Taemhain: (( ))

Carrion Crawler: (( Like how? I was out for a bit ))

Hmmm, so which way do we want to go now?

Forge:

Forge is healed and gains 17 hit points.

Serra:

"Forward (left) looks like as good a place as any."

Adric Kain:

Sure!

* Taemhain trundles thataway then.

Forge:

Remind me to never be fond of harpies.

Adric Kain:

I'm surprised you'd forget.

Taemhain:

If you ever need the reminder, we will.

Faiz: (( "OH NO YOU ARE MELT" ))

Imban:

The room on the left looks like it was a stables, in this fortress's better days.

Imban:

Now, it's just ruins.

Serra:

"Adric's not even finding them sexy enough to swoon over. I'm sure you will have no problems in that regard."

Imban:

Among the ruins, you spot some blue scales. They remind you of a certain blue lightning-spitting thing you fought earlier.

Adric Kain:

Hey.

* Faiz rumbles.

Adric Kain:

I don't swoon over every female thing we run across.

Taemhain:

Oho...do you think that means there are more?

Imban:

This looks like a bedroom. A gnoll's bedroom, judging by the smell of wet dog.

Faiz:

...RRHM.

Serra:

"Blue dragon scales, huh."

Imban:

This looks like a storehouse, though it's now empty. Taemhain smells the unique smells of dust from various metal ores on the air, and knows it has been in use recently.

Imban: (( behir scales ))

Serra: (( Ah. ))

Serra: (( Right. ))

Serra:

"They might be worth hanging on to, just in case."

* Taemhain twitches his nose, "Something has been storing a lot of metal recently...arming up maybe?"

Taemhain:

Pretty boring otherwise.

Forge: (( BRB, gotta use the bathroom ))

Imban:

The stables do not have any horses, behirs, or harpies in them.

Faiz: (( I see you, square. ))

Adric Kain:

Is anyone else finding this place too empty?

Serra: (( What about troglodytes? ))

Imban:

Nor troglodytes. Nor malboros.

Taemhain:

I'm beginning to think an army moved out from here recently.

Faiz: (( "YOU FIND... an amicable Texan and his pet robotic crossbow" ))

Serra:

"It is too empty, yes. This whole castle seems too empty, though it might be us simply getting used to encountering things that desire our death around every single corner."

Serra: (( Fortress, rather. ))

Faiz:

EHH... I GUESS.

Imban:

Regardless, it seems like you haven't explored the northern area, or gone downstairs beyond the portcullis.

Taemhain:

Well, this one has been in use recently though....so either there should be more dudes or they all went somewhere to violence it and I don't like either option.

Azar Macan:

Let's see what lies to the north!

Serra:

"There are still locations we have yet to explore, though. Maybe everything's hiding there?"

Taemhain: (( brb ))

Imban:

It looks like there's a lot of foot traffic through this corridor. Also, murder holes on both sides of it. That's slightly worrying.

Faiz: (( I see sniper windows and trees. Lovely. ))

* Faiz stops... considers.

Imban:

Through the murder holes, you can see... trees, indoors?

Serra:

"Cute. More of the same trap as before."

* Faiz shufts his way to the left.

Adric Kain:

That's odd.

* Faiz rumbles... rolls his shoulders.

Serra:

'Huh. That is odd."

Serra: (( Is light shining in at all? ))

Imban: (( no ))

Faiz:

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.

Threden:

OBSERVATION: Vegetation does not normally grow in these environments.

* Faiz grabs at the nearby hole in the wall and EARTHWRESTLE

Faiz:

Endurance = 34       Rolled: 20     Bonuses: 14

Azar Macan:

Curious...

Serra: (( Faiz does all of the earthwrestling. ))

Taemhain:

Here's hoping that wall wasn't important.

* Faiz fuckin' yanks a hole in the wall like it were a curtain.

Imban:

With a crash, the wall more or less falls apart.

Threden: (( Suddenly, you find out that was a load-bearing wall. ))

Faiz:

I LOVE MY JOB.

Imban:

There aren't any monsters on the other side, at least.

Imban:

Or... anything, but a tree and an empty guardpost.

Forge: (( Ok back, where are we? ))

Imban: (( 1st floor north ))

Forge: (( Aha ))

* Faiz crosses his arms, looking at the... empty tree.

* Faiz turns his head...

Taemhain: (( hahaha ))

* Faiz shrugs.

Serra: (( Oh, I know! ))

* Serra looks at that tree closely.

* Serra declares Legend Lore!

* Taemhain looks at the tree, sees a tree, shrugs.

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+11 History -> Nature, take 1 (of 2?) => 14 + 11 = 25

Serra: (( I'll take that. ))

Threden: (( (Serra) It's a Royal Tree! ))

Faiz: (( DID YOU KNOW THIS PARTICULAR BRAND OF GUARDTREE HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE OWNERS OF THIS KEEP FOR GENERATIONS? ))

Imban:

The tree blatantly isn't natural. It's something called a Sussur tree, generally growing in the Underdark.

Forge: (( THIS TREE IS SACRED... TO SQUIRRELS. PSYCHIC SQUIRRELS. ))

Taemhain: (( psychic squirrels sound really dangerous ))

Serra:

"Oh yes, I've heard of these trees. They're Sussur trees, they grow in the Underdark."

Imban:

They are fed by eldritch energies of various sorts. This indicates that there's some sort of powerful energy source around.

Adric Kain:

Aw damnit.

Faiz:

...SUPER.

Faiz:

SO ANY REAL INDICATION OF WHY THERE ARE EXTRADIMENSIONAL TREES ROAMING ABOUT HErE?

* Serra relays this as well.

Adric Kain:

Underdark means Drow. And Drow hate us.

Azar Macan:

The downbad?

Adric Kain:

And worse than hating us? They're fuckin' emo about it.

Taemhain:

That's why I take so much pleasure in the possibility of punching them.

Serra:

"Well, considering that, there must be some sort of energy source for them lying around somewhere nearby."

Adric Kain:

Yeah well so will half of them.

Azar Macan: (( hey Tilus you should...impersonate. :v ))

Serra: (( I am impersonating! ))

Azar Macan: (( it sure wasn't popping up a portrait ))

Serra: (( If I wasn't, I'd be speaking as Tilus, not Serra. ))

Taemhain: (( im not seeing for you either azar ))

Azar Macan: (( ..oddd. ))

Taemhain: (( seeing one* ))

Imban: (( ooc never pops up portraits ))

Forge: (( I am, just not ooc ))

Threden: (( Because you went back to the upper floor and back. ))

Forge: (( Impersonate again Teals, just for laughs ))

Threden: (( That keeps you as "impersonating", but not really. ))

* Serra peeks further inside. (Also this is a test)

Serra: (( Oh right, /me doens't either. ))

Imban: (( other things that don't have portraits: /me ))

Azar Macan:

Hrm..

Adric Kain:

Well Faiz hasn't violenced anything yet so it should be clear.

Serra:

"Let's move on to the next room, then."

Serra: (( Yep, works. ))

* Faiz attempts the whole "OPEN DOOR" thing to look inside the room from what could only be considered the wrong point of origin, since this was a CLOSED ROOM

Human Lackey 6:

H-huh what?

Azar Macan: (( welllll ))

Faiz:

OH HI.

Queen Shephatiah:

Intruders, explain yourselves.

Faiz:

OH, Y'KNOW.

Forge:

You must be this queen we have heard so much about.

Forge:

Shepardfish?

Adric Kain:

Ok her? Her I can swoon over.

Taemhain: (( oh no, ive done this fight in wow @.@ ))

Queen Shephatiah:

A regal-looking female Eladrin sits on the throne at the back of the room, a bloody human corpse beneath one of her feet.

Faiz:

ALSO HI, AGAIN.

Adric Kain:

Can we please not kill her?

Azar Macan:

I'm pretty sure she's an evil Queen, Ardic.

Taemhain:

That is going to depend on how much she tries to kill us.

Faiz:

YOU MUST BE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN FUCKING OVER LIKE, EVERYONE IN THIS DESERT.

Queen Shephatiah:

You must be a moron, come to die.

Taemhain:

Just swoon now and get it over with.

Faiz:

SO, LIKE. I'M GOING TO SUPER MURDER YOU.

Adric Kain:

Human Lackey 8:

"I'm afraid we're not very good at this dying thing."

Human Lackey 9:

Faiz:

Threden:

Adric Kain:

Are you sure we can't talk her out of her evil ways and have her travel with m--us.

Faiz:

NAH. STABBING HER. A LOT.

Azar Macan:

Ardic, let it go.

Taemhain:

Yes, Adric, very sure.

Imban:

Init up or zzz? Up to you all

Azar Macan:

There's plenty more birds in the sky.

Imban: (( Also that was ooc. ))

Adric Kain:

Ok, I'm done swooning. Let's start fighting.

Serra:

"But if you're continuing to terrorize the deserts, I'm afraid it will be you who tastes steel instead. And quite possibly developing a serious migraine in the process.:"
