The Curse of the Black Lagoon (Multiverse Event Log)
Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:31 pm
(06:21:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( Sec, adjusting my post. ))
(06:21:52 pm) <+Cherry> The crackle of bright twittered and twitched in her eyes... Sizzled against her skin, almsot as if she was in pain, but in reality it was one of those moments were someone expected something painful to hapepen, but it never actually came.. Well aside from the tendrils coiling and curling around her very tiny, diminutive frame.. Small hands curled.. Furled over the thick appendanges..
(06:21:53 pm) <+Cherry> Nails attempting to dig into it in order to get it to release her.. SHe didn't care if she fell from great heights, considering, but when there was no immediate drop she grew frightful and worried. The dazzeling, blinding light had pale, blonde lashes fluttering rapidly as she attempted to get the bright white she was now seeing removed from blue iris.. There was a flitter of silken
(06:21:53 pm) <+Cherry> wing.. Pink, glossy things fluttering and beating swiftly together.. "What.. Where.. Who? WHYYYYYY?" Small hands went to feeling about, but slowly the surroundings now engulfing the group was slowly coming into view.. at first only seeing feet and bodies strewn around her, but as she let her gaze wander further away from the immediate vicinity to the beyond.. She became just the barest
(06:21:53 pm) <+Cherry> bit scared. Soft frown tugged at the gentle curves of her lips.. Pink wings drooping a tad. "Nooooo!" Stamp stamp stampy feet given.. Kicking the ground a bit in frustration. "I just wannnnnna go home." She sobbed pittifully.
(06:26:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> Nauranor's band were not the focus of the cat people (known as Phet'Kree in this world), and perhaps they didn't even realize the woodsy elves were there. Such things were entirely possible. One thing was sure to the Mazewood elves: the Phet'Kree were acting quite oddly. Matthew would find himself in the middle of a barren forest, frosted, with several other people, --
(06:26:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- all with oddities about their clothing, about to be attacked by the feline natives. Few seemed to have any idea of what was going on here at this particular moment. Robbi, Derick, Elwin and Oliver attempting to speak to the Phet'Kree would get no reply, just angered squeals of feline annoyance. Outsiders were not welcomed here! If they understood what either of them --
(06:26:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- were saying, they gave no indication of it as they lept to pounce on her. They were not friends. L'ylianna, being nearer to the center, was not attacked directly, but she was prodded at a few times over at the length of a spear from one female, eyeing her warily. Katja was left in peace, though watched while she applied the poisonous venom to her blades. She was to be --
(06:26:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- observed, the feline people wary of the scent of death on her sword. Kraken was sniffed after, because he was fishy, and cats loved fish. Only the most aggressive of the Phet'Kree had attacked the quartet mentioned above, but it would seem as though they were not intent on damage, more like, herding. With spears and prods, the Phet'Kree attempted to move the massive --
(06:26:47 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- group of suddenly arrived outsiders forward, along a game path, towards the sound of chanting. Minah had it about right. And Cherry... she was just a tiny pixy, worth swatting out of the skies. The Phet'Kree were not interested in murdering or killing, but subduing and allowing their Father to see them. The sound of chanting ahead rose in crescendo and a wave of --
(06:26:47 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- sickening, evil magic radiated from the source before them.
(06:27:49 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( Chaos: You're with the ignored group, sorry I missed you. ))
(06:28:49 pm) <@Nauranor> 2 Skillfully hidden above, the elven ranger smirked and just shook her head. Fools, all of them, especially the one trying to make nice with the felinoid creatures as though they were pets. But these strangely dressed mortals weren't her problem. Yet. Now, how they were getting here and who was summoning them, THAT was a problem. A few silent and quick gestures and she and her
(06:28:50 pm) <@Nauranor> 2hunting party ghosted amidst the treetops, hidden still from the disturbance below. No one knew these woods as the Mazewood elves did, save the monstrous denizens of the forest themselves, but even they couldn't leap from tree to tree as the lithe elves could, all in silence and shadow. Many of these strange folk carried items foreign to her, or wore suits of armor far more complicated
(06:28:50 pm) <@Nauranor> 2and advanced than any she had ever seen. Let them deal with the Phet'kree, she signalled to her group. Magic had brought these invaders here, but who? Even more strange, the Phet'kree were herding this strange group along. So they followed, still hidden in the shadows far above.
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6The sassy pirate spots Hunter and winces. Nope! Not going to go harass him again. he'd fled in a rather girly fashion earlier what with the thinking he was going to die horrifically and all. 14"Hello, friend!14"6 he chimes and offers a wave to the giant clockwork man. Oh man he hopes this guy remembers he's a friend. 14"I was joking earlier!14"6 he tacks on and hops around
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6with a lithe motion, graceful from his years walking around the deck of a ship in terrible weather. A centaur! Why, that's fascinating! He tilts his head in interest and trots towards Elwin. This guy looks intelligent, perhaps he knows what's going on. Minah's familiar voice makes him glance over his shoulder and eye her. 14"Drinking more! That sounds like a stellar idea! Let's
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 14get right on that. Soon. When we get home. Or back to wherever it is we've been sleeping. And sleeping too.14"6 A bright grin crosses his face and he flashes a wink at her. 14"Possibly.14"6 And then there's a pixie! The sight of the pink wonder makes him squeal in an almost girly fashion and he waves at her, 14"Me too! I like home.14"6 Really does. Even if the people at home
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6think that he eats lead paint for breakfast and constantly pity his poor wife for being with him. 14"And I don't think they want to reason.14"6 That makes him sigh. He rubs at the back of his neck and follows the Phet'kree because, well, herding and not attacking. 14"Alright, fine. Maybe they're kicking us out. But I swear that if we're heading towards a big pot filled with boiling
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 14water and vegetables, I'm going to run. Minah, keep up with me or else.14"6 Would he leave her behind? Of course not!
(06:32:06 pm) * +Robbi is easily herded along, not wanting to fight and not knowing what's going on at all. She looks around at the cat people keeping them surrounded, but more importantly at the people she is here with. "You are ..." she begins upon seeing Derick, but trails off as she notes he doesn't know his name. "You're here too?" She grimaces a bit. Derick and Elwin...
(06:32:06 pm) * +Robbi shakes her head a bit, glancing between everyone. "What's going on here?" the dog girl asks. "Does anyone know? Everything feels... wrong." Not knowing anything of magic, just relying on her own gut feeling... But that's easily enough to tell that something is wrong. Still, she stays brave, not letting the situation get to her too much. Stay brave and don't let your guard down, she reminds herself.
(06:32:51 pm) * +L`ylianna watched the cats carefully. They'd have made their move had they intended to kill them. They were being hearded. She simply stood, holding her hands up slightly to show comlience. Best not to start a scene when other methods of deafeat could be used. She would begin walking with the others as the cats had them. This was one dark elf halfbreed who was playing it safe.
(06:33:33 pm) * +Robbi does try to dart from the cats that attack her though, otherwise just staying as near the group as possible. Definitely not wanting to be separated from them, she may hide by them if the cats don't stop attacking.
(06:33:57 pm) <+Katja`> Katja noticed Cherry, and her hand twitched towards her bag. 'The blowgun could take care of her - it would be just a moment' she thought 'a dab of poisons... Nah, too expensive. And ' she had a small silent giggle 'there are bigger fish to catch right now.' She wouldn't move unless someone prodded her directly, and if so, she wouldn't go without a fight - though she would go quietly. A...
(06:33:58 pm) <+Katja`> ...knife to the jugular and a tab of poison to the eye do wonders. The joy of having not one, but 2 weapons.
(06:34:16 pm) <+Kraken> 6This might have been the squidling they knew, though he looked slightly different what with the tentacle legs he'd been sporting moments earlier, easily brushed off for reasons though. And good reasons too! Maybe this was their N`vek but a little ways into the future where he had learned to shift how squidlike he was? Or a different Kevin/N`vek altogether! 14"Minah?... Oliver?"
(06:34:17 pm) <+Kraken> 146Came his frightened voice, he had no idea where he was except that it was a forest and there were cat people. The boy would inch his way closer to the pira-traders. Something familiar to him! And those cats were sniffing at him... Cats loved fish. Cats ate fish... Definitely not the Kevin from before, this was a different one, a more skittish one, one armed with a bow like weapon
(06:34:17 pm) <+Kraken> 6instead of a sword. 14"I want to go home..." 6The cats were sniffing him, N`vek bit back a hiss and instead flashed those warning colors of his, tentacles flattening and pulsating with colors any competant predator would associate with poison.
(06:34:37 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich raises his hands slowly
(06:34:41 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Derick didn't like being herded, but seeing that he was being herded, it didn't really look as if he had a choice. One way or another, he was drawing his second dagger, the same length and make but a different metal, this one silver. He moved along next to Robbi and snarled, "Ya' know, this is a real goo' fuckin' welcome. An' it don' look like they speak common either. 'M thinkin' we're in...
(06:34:43 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...f'r a bad one this time, Robbi." He was a grumbly, cranky pirate right now and it showed.
(06:35:32 pm) <+Hunter`of`Arktos> There was a loud exhale that exuded itself from the helmet before the rifle was unholstered once more. The helmet turned to meet Oliver, sky-blue eye-sockets pierced through the group to simply stare towards Oliver, no pupils or facial reactions could betray his feelings or emotions. Before long, the gaze soon turned itself back onto the feline attackers. There was a sudden realization that <--
(06:35:32 pm) * +Hunter`of`Arktos --> 6 they were being herded and as such, the white-and-navy blue sleek suit of armor began to follow alongside the group, red and orange outlines pulsating every now and then. The elongated abyss-coloured rifle, complete with a constant streaming sky-blue outline pointed upwards, armored hands attempting to swat any spears or attacks that had come near him. <<--
(06:35:54 pm) * Alida is now known as TOO_AFK
(06:36:03 pm) <+{[> <Elwin> "You, you... straggler people!" Because they were all strangers to him. "Fall in!" At that point, standing together looked like it was their best bet. Safety and deterrence in numbers. He didn't take too kindly to spears and angry hisses, to say the least, he snagged free his dandy walking stick to thwak the spears away when they came in his direction as he stepped around
(06:36:04 pm) <+{[> and off to the side. The sidepassing was only a ruse at best, however, once he was no longer as tightly packed in by other people, he exploded forward as he tried to feint them out and herd them right back out of his space in turn. It was a bold and likely stupid move but it seemed immediate surrender just wasn't his thing. His reply to Robbi would have to wait.
(06:36:12 pm) * Caturday is now known as LB
(06:37:14 pm) * Scathien ([email protected]) Quit
(06:37:31 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich lets himself get ushered along
(06:37:35 pm) <+Minah> Sighing and grabbing for Oliver's hand as he starts to talk again, he didn't need to tell her to keep up with him because she was latching onto his hand and would go wherever the cat people decided to take her talker mctalkerson of a husband. His wink and the emphasis between sleeping and sleeping is snorted at and she just grips his hand and grasps the handle of that dagger with
(06:37:36 pm) <+Minah> 6its glitterings. Tossing her head back slightly and looking around the company, eyeing the pixie and the squidling, she muttered "Is that n've--" But then he was asking for them and she nodded at him a little "It's us N'vek, come stay by us." Lifting her hand away from the hilt of that dagger to run it up through her hair, brilliang gems of glitting wealth swung in her
(06:37:37 pm) <+Minah> 6hair and she wished for another time that she had her swords on her again "Drinking.. yes." muttering it softly and letting herself be shunted along with N'vek and the lead based paint eating Captain "This is getting stranger and stranger, you really must have put something disturbing up a magician, love. I think they are herding but I don't think it's to the exit."
(06:37:38 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Derick didn't like being herded, but seeing that he was being herded, it didn't really look as if he had a choice. One way or another, he was drawing his second dagger, the same length and make but a different metal, this one silver. He himself jumped towards the nearest pouncing cat man and met him mod air, aiming his daggers for the thing's kidneys while he kneed it in the crotch. Herding...
(06:37:39 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...Derick was a bad idea. He was not a cow, he was a rum swigging pirate, and he fought like one too. (RETCON cause I derp'd)
(06:39:19 pm) <+Cherry> If her head could spin circles like the girl on the exorcist, it most likely would have at this particular point and time.. So many new species.. So many people... SO MANY THINGS... SHINEY THINGS! She wanted them all.. Yeah, sure.. there was danger involved.. Immeninent and staring her right in the face with those pointed spears held by kitties who in all reality she jsut wanted to
(06:39:19 pm) <+Cherry> pet.. I mean come on. they have point ears with tufts of fur! Who wouldn't want to pet them, but she while she was a playful thing, she was also quite intelligent, and this was a serious situation not some game to be played... yet. There was one thing that was noticable which called to her more than anything else currently present.. Most likely due to the fact that she tended to
(06:39:19 pm) <+Cherry> collect shiney, expensive things! The jewels and gems tucked in Minah's luxorious locks had her stamping feet stalling mid-air and the frown she previously sported almost turned into this sly little smile.. Tempted to steal one, but she thought better of it since everyone was already ready to attack.. The chanting.. evil.. vile voices roiling across the air to greet her left her
(06:39:20 pm) <+Cherry> shuddering on the ground in a little pixie puddle.. Small arms coming up to curl around her torso to give herself a squeezing hug that she so desperately needed! Bits of pillowy flesh plumped up against her forearms.. spilled slightly overtop seeing as how they were hardly restrained by anything else.. Just a bit of pasties and a floral skirt which rode low on her shapely hips. Suddenly
(06:39:20 pm) <+Cherry> she was up and fluttering.. Small wings whizzing against one another.. "Hellllllloooo! You are pretty.. your jewlery is pretty! I'm scared.. Can I ride with you? PLeaaaaaaaaase?" Nervousness caused those words to tumble like a wild torrent from her full lips.. "I promise to be nice and not steal one even though I really really want it!" Tatteling a bit on herself. She was oblivious
(06:39:20 pm) <+Cherry> to the side long looks from Katja, but it was hard not to notice Oliver because he was right next to Minah.
(06:40:17 pm) * Syri-Bed ([email protected]) has joined #multiverse-event
(06:45:13 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> Oliver, easily subdued, or not threatening as the others had been, had not been scratched or viciously assaulted. He seemed to be going along with their attempt to guide them, but it was obvious the Phet'Kree did not like to be talked to by outsiders. Robbi and L`ylianna, being compliant with the Phet'Kree's desires, were left mostly unmolested, but still kept with --
(06:45:14 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- the rest of the group. Katja was poked at with a spear, the Phet'Kree watching her staying their distance. They had smelled the death she had slicked over her daggers, and realized the danger in that. They were not interested in doing anything but making her go along where they wanted. Kraken's display of warning was clearly taken to heart. The feline people stepped --
(06:45:14 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- back but gestured wordlessly with their spears to keep moving with the group. The colour changes were universally recognized as dangerous. Funnily, the metal tipped spears the Phet'Kree carried only chimed and clinked against Hunter`of`Arktos's armour. This was puzzling to them, and they could be heard speaking in hushed voices to one another when this was discovered. --
(06:45:15 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- Instead of leaving him be, they only jabbed at the armour harder, trying to make him go along with the rest of the group. Minah, now joining Kraken and Oliver, and Elwin, Cherry and Matthew, also placid, were not harmed, and just moved along with all the others. Derick, having lept into one of the nearest to him Phet'Kree, tumbled to the ground with the spear wielding --
(06:45:15 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- cat person. The others turned on him, and began to jab viciously and potentially lethally at him with their spears, he was to be stopped at all costs. Several of the Phet'Kree began to threaten the rest of The Group with their own spears with Derick's sudden attack, hissing at them. An ear rending thunder clap was heard overhead, ripping apart the skies with a streak --
(06:45:16 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- of lightning, straight for the area ahead of them. The sound of chanting grew louder in its wake. The Phet'Free, as one, looked up and howled in response, beginning once again to usher The Group along.
(06:48:14 pm) <@Nauranor> 2 Elven ears had picked up the chanting and as oddly interesting as the assortment of strangers below them were, she gestured for her partner to follow her ahead while the other pair ghosted along with the 'prisoners' in silence. Why were the phet'kree herding them? Had this dark magic summoned these strange people? Were they allies or foes? Only time would tell. For now the
(06:48:14 pm) <@Nauranor> 2ranger took up a position where she had a view of the happenings of teh chanting mages, the dark energies in the air making even her skin crawl. They'd be lucky if all this magic working didn't draw forth worse things than the phet'kree. Werewolves and werespiders made their homes and nests in these woods, as did many other dangerous creatures, and chaos usually drew them like moths
(06:48:14 pm) <@Nauranor> 2to a flame. Blood certainly would. The lightning dazzled her eyes and the ranger drew her bow, signalling her fellow hunters to circle the area.
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6Kevin! Kevin's spotted and he waves to the squidling with a bright smile. 14"N`vek!14"6 he calls out and opens his arms up to offer a hug or just a gesture of greeting. Which it is depends on if the squid runs over to him or not. 14"Come over here and we'll help keep you safe.14"6 Relatively so, at least, considering that he's going along with the herding instead of fighting
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6against it. All the while he stays near Elwin because the centuar's bigger than him and that could be useful later on. Oh, then the pirate's fighting and he points, glances at Minah, and looks back to Derick like he's asking for permission to flip some feline tables. Her hand's given a squeeze and he wags his brows. 14"Got your swords on you?14"6 he asks and squirms around some.
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6The pixie attracts his attention and he chuckles, 14"Hey! If you can't ride her, hop on my shoulder! Unless I have to leap into action. Yes, my dear love's just gorgeous isn't she?14"6 But then there's OMINOUS THUNDER and his hands shoot up into the air. 14"Or we'll walk and get sacraficed to whatever tribal god these things worship. You know, whatever.14"6 Derick's eyed again
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6and he grunts, torn between reason and leaping valiently into the face of danger. Also action. Because he's just itching for some stabby goodness.
(06:51:12 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich sighs and walks along, asessing the number of cat creatures.
(06:51:26 pm) <+Hunter`of`Arktos> As they jabbed at first, there was a simple chuckle that uttered itself from the helmet. Filtrated, cold, almost hinting at a bit of malice as they continued to stab harder and hard at his armor, only providing bits of scuff and scratches on the paint job, the rifle was lowered back down towards them. He continued to be herded, however, remaining semi-compliant as he considered simply burning <--
(06:51:26 pm) * +Hunter`of`Arktos --> 6 every single one of these creatures to the ground. As soon as he was about to, however, his finger removed itself from the trigger area, the flash of lightning caught his attention and he quickly switched his mood to be compliant in the herding. <<--
(06:53:07 pm) <+Katja`> Katja rolled towards the cat at the feel of the spear, and mutters "Riett ahrllië stiargiéhh steye dé!" - "You will die for that" in Infernal. She attempts to prod the poisoned, glistening blade up into the catperson, and failing that would attempt to hit the leg. This poison was one of her more spectacular ones. When it works, it would cause the subject immense pain, though that pain is...
(06:53:09 pm) <+Katja`> ...unfortunatly brief, less than a minute. And no other effects, unfortunatly accompanied it. But it was fun, and it would distract the others... hopefully.
(06:53:26 pm) <+Kraken> 6Looked so relieved as Minah called his name, it showed but he was still scared, inching away from the sniffing herding felines. 14"What did Oliver do this time, Minah?.." 6Because odds were if something bad and crazy happened? It was all Oliver's fault. 14"Very strange." 6Annnd sticking close to Minah. They didn't try to hurt him, only to move... He wasn't Meow Mix, they understood
(06:53:27 pm) <+Kraken> 6his color threats. Possibly a bluff but N`vek didn't really know whether or not his flesh was toxic not if he had a venomous bite, but the colors were all that were needed. You don't risk such patterns like this lightly. He would refrain from clinging to Oliver with all his grippy arms but did a small hug before going along with the nonfighting group. He glanced to the pixie and
(06:53:27 pm) <+Kraken> 6watched her for a few moments before reality told him to pay attention to the cats. 14"I have my bow, Oliver..."
(06:53:56 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Stabbing Derick was one of the many ways to not kill him. I mean, sure, it would kill him, but it was messy. He rolled off of Phet`Kree, and kept his daggers between him and those trying to stab him. Of course, the spears that stabbed him had done damage, but they would also begin to corrode. The nature of Derick's acid blood was just not going to jive with the metal spears in the long run....
(06:53:58 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...Much in the same way that Derick's burp, which released an inhuman gas that stunk on a nose-bleed-inducing level, was not going to jive with the feline noses. If and once the feline people backed off, he would limp, crawl, and stumble off to join the herded group, walking backwards to keep an eye on the cat people. Or, he would be speared and further maimed. Woopsies. He seems to have...
(06:54:00 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...misread the situation a tad.
(06:54:18 pm) <+{[> <Elwin> He reared up again as his feinted charge proved largely uneffective and then Derick, well, he decided to be Derick. He reached for the nearest feline tail he could find and yanked, hard, if he caught a hold at least. "Cease!" Gah, bloody cat folk. He too noted the lightning and cocked a brow at it. "Hmn. Get out of there, Derick. We need to move." He grumbled at the pirate,
(06:54:19 pm) <+{[> as if the man were just derping around in that pile of angry kitties. If he got the attention of the fellow he was tail=yankin' he'd point to the sky then drag his fingers across the air, wiggling them to mimic the zigzagging of lightning. Afterwards he lifted that hand and let it fall, said fingers wiggling in mimicry of rain.
(06:55:44 pm) * +L`ylianna glanced about and took the time to study the others. Strange things had been going on for abit, and this turn of events was no suprise. Judgeing by the view, she figure she was possibly still near Drache maybe, though alot of forests can look similer. She hugged her cloak about her tighter, the sickly damp and cool air chilling her to the bones.
(06:56:04 pm) * +Robbi cringes as Derick suddenly attacks someone, turning toward him as she finds the other cats ganging up on him. "Hey-!" she begins only to find herself menaced by the cats and their spears instead, backing up. Brave, she reminds herself. Brave, need to be brave and that means not backing down and watching as one of her allies is killed. The thunderclap makes her cringe, breaking her attention.
(06:56:04 pm) * +Robbi shakes her head to regain her senses before yelling at the cats, her voice near a roar. "Leave him alone!" she yells, trying to think of a way to interfere that isn't suicidal. If she could get past the spears menacing her - then she could help. But then what? She searches for a solution... She glances down and crouches, picking up a handful of dirt...
(06:56:04 pm) * +Robbi throws the dirt for the faces of the cats in front of her, to blind them before trying to dash past them, using her height to try and weave between them and go toward Derick. She roars at the cats again, trying to force their attention away from Derick to give him a chance to back away. "RUN!" she shouts for him.
(06:59:33 pm) <+Minah> There comes that glittering Pixie and Minah blinked as she was getting asked to give a pixie ride, even in the confusion and chaos of the cat people she smirked at the little thing and her reaction to the gems in her hair "ahh.. I guess?" Blinking at the fluttering wings and lifting her hair off to the side, letting it drip back down over her shoulder so it flowed back with
(06:59:33 pm) <+Minah> 6the chunky fetishes swinging to her mid spine. "Thank you?" Was questioningly said and she shot her husband an amused look, glancing back at the pixie and saying passively "You can have one if you like, Oliver sneaks them into my hair but they're starting to get to be too many.." amused and annoyed because "Of course I have my swords" snorting softly, now that they
(06:59:34 pm) <+Minah> 6weren't trying to get them apart she'd not be so hell bent on holding Oliver's hand though when he shot his hands up, her own went with him. Wriggling her fingers and tugging his down "I'd prefer you not attack anything unless we have the ability to LIVE through it, Oliver." Was muttered to hm and she pulled his hand to her lips to kiss it lightly before releasing it and just
(06:59:35 pm) <+Minah> 6staying by him, fingers wrapped around the hilt of one of those scimitars and eyeing the cat people, saying a little more loudly "Unless we're ALL going to fight, I don't think There is a point in just a couple of you battling with them, it doesn't seem--" But people were flipping some tables around the place and she growled softly about these few getting all of them killed
(06:59:36 pm) <+Minah> 6"We're OUT NUMBERED" She said more loudly and mumbled to N'vek, eyeing the cat people to make sure they didn't just get annoyed with the fighters and kill those that were going along with them "Oliver probably called a wizard something stupid, or got him drink and pulled his wizard robes up over his head N'vek.. you know the usual OLIVER stuff.
(07:03:29 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> Ahead of the group, the chanting grew louder, as did the sound of bubbling water, as if it was being boiled rapidly. As the first of The Group broke the underbrush into the clearing, they were greeted with the site of a large lagoon, gloriously ancient ruins crumbling where they once proudly stood, and what appeared to be a cult of some sort. Arrayed along the banks --
(07:03:30 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- of the corrupted Black Lagoon of the Elgar were several, darkly robed, humanoid figures. Each had their hands over their heads, and each were chanting in time with one another. The place thrummed to the cadence of their words, a steady pulse that the foreigners could feel through their bones, rising up out of the ground. It wasn't merely a massive lagoon, but the --
(07:03:30 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- ruins of some ancient temple or grand building stood nearby. An arched frame still managed to rise up from the stone foundations, and light poured from it, sickly green and brilliant, a smoke curling around the silhouetted figure there. Whoever they were, they were tall, and shrouded in darkness, or perhaps only seeming that way with the light from the arch behind --
(07:03:31 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- them. About where one would assume a chest would be, a matching sphere of light glowed, pulsating in time to the beat of the chanting that each of the robed figures spoke. The dark waters of the Black Lagoon burbled and bubbled, slowly at first, before it picked up speed, as if something was trying to rise from its depths. Oliver, Minah, Kraken, Matthew, the Hunter of --
(07:03:31 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- Arktos, and L'ylianna would all see the cult, the lagoon and the strange ruins, for they hadn't tried to attack the Phet'Kree. Derick, Robbi, Elwin and Katja had all chosen to attack and were now dealing with more and more cat people launching themselves heedlessly into the fray to defend their fallen comrades. Only Nauranor would recognize that these Phet'Kree were --
(07:03:32 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- not all of the same tribe, so their working arrangement in such a way was an oddity. Katja's feint was a good one, if only for the speed and surprise with which she moved. The length of the spear was an advantage, but having deflecting the first blow, could not do the same with the second. The poisoned blade cut along the thigh of one Phet'kree, causing it to howl in --
(07:03:32 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- agony. Derick's blood and its entropic effect was telling, the spearheads erroding and burning, causing the Phet'Kree that held them to release them and step away, allowing him to rise. Robbi's roaring caused several near her to hiss angrily at her, and lift their weapons to her, attempting to get her and the others that had lagged behind to watch Derick's heroics to --
(07:03:33 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- get moving. Once the group was back together, or partially back together, they would see the real problem: A cadre of mages standing around, working what was clearly something wicked, around a large lagoon that was bubbling as if something was attempting to rise from it.
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> While the pixie may be small, she was not without her own defensive charms and wiles.. Which mind, you did not include flashing a bit of pixie flesh at someone, but more of the natural magical nature that all pixies were born with. Derick actually being hurt a bit by the kitty folk with charming, froofy tails had her attention detoured from the bobble encrusted locks, even more so
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> when the meows went to hoisting those spears at the groups direction even though they were walking in that herded fashion! A huff huff.. "HEY! Be nice you big fluffy meany headtoadfacemcnakedbutts!" She harumphed and hollared at them, not quite concerned with the fact they didn't like being talked to.. Afterall, if they wanted to hurt her.. they would have to catch or find her first!
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> Already she was plotting places to hide.. You know, like the centaurs flipping tail.. The bits of clothing on L'ylianna, between the squishy tentacles of Kraken, Katja's bag.. The possibilities really were endless, but for whatever reason her mind kept zooming back to hiding in Elwin's tail! She sort of wanted to braid it! But then there was that crack of lightening flashing across
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> the sky and zooming down to pelt the ground in front of them! Why fly and hide a few feet off when Minah was already lifting those glorious locks to let her hide under them? Quickly she wizzed and darted up to the shoulder.. Bare feet gently landing on it as she nuzzled up close to the woman, but she couldn't resist one last taunt.. A peek of her head out from between thick strands..
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> Swift intake of air... 'Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu cough cough sputter.. huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.. Cheeks bulged as her tongue peeked out from between her lips and she let those raspberries just a fly about, apparently her go to thing for when she felt she was being threatened
(07:04:53 pm) <@Nauranor> 2For now the elven rangers hidden above were merely observing, remaining hidden from all of thsoe below. Let us see what our 'heroes' would do.
(07:05:02 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> <Game Master> One of the closer Phet'Kree would attempt to swat Cherry out of the sky with a feline quick snap of their spear. That's a bad pixy.

Both hands dip into the inner pockets of his coat as though he's reaching for weap--okay, he's clearly reaching for weapons and that's obvious. But they aren't drawn out, and he just narrows his eyes at the cult. A serious look crosses his face, making his dark eyes narrow and he draws himself up so he's taller in height, stepping out
(07:09:26 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6in front of Minah to put himself between her, the cult, and whatever the crap is burbl--oh the lagoon. Well maybe it's just a giant cooker.

(07:09:58 pm) <+Hunter`of`Arktos> The continued prodding and poking got a grunt out of him before he was introduced to a rather strange and unique sight. There was a small whistle from the helmet before the Hunter stepped forward, rifle lowered down to the ground as eyes attempted to focus in on the figure shrouded by smoke. "Who is native to this land? What does it mean if there is a figure shrouded in ominous smoke?"

(07:10:53 pm) * +Robbi leans down as she goes to snatch up rocks, throwing them at her pursuers or the cats still attacking Derick. Quick thinking and accuracy; even if she's not a brawler and could never hope to defeat the cats in melee, she is good enough at her accuracy to strike the cats in the head. She's well aware that she may end up cornered, but that's a concern for later...
(07:11:50 pm) * +L`ylianna would step into the clearing, and stared in awe of the sight. The cloaked ones were obviously practicing foul magics, but her eyes glanced to the ancient ruins.

It lingered in the air, as she imagined other elves

He didn't understand magic all that much. So, he spent some of...
(07:13:37 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...the time giving the cat people looks of 'I told you so' and 'Don't forget it'. Then, he tried again, asking the cat people, "I jus' bested ya' in combat. Now, wha's goin' on here? Answers. Now."

(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6That was a no-go on his bow, but he would still hold onto it. He could work the thing well with any of the pairs of arms he bore in his land form. Not so much his water form, but then he only had one pair of arms in that form and the fingers were webbed even more so, it made for some difficulty but he could still fire. WE'RE OUTNUMBERED Minah points out. Yes they were, it was best
(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6jsut to go with the flow so to speak right now. N`vek kept his warning colors up, not daring to let them fall into the fright patterns. He shuddered as the feel entered his body and what passed for bones in the boy. Water was there... scary water, black water, but it was water and already a part of him was calming. Water meant safety to the squid parts of his mind. Until it started
(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6to bubble and churn. That could only mean 14"uh oh.." 6He clung to Oliver as though that would offer him any protection. And careful, Cherry! While those tentacles were cool, squishy, and oh so colorful, they were strong things, just let the Squidling know you were landing there first so he doesn't accidentally squish you and feel horrified later on. Oliver said he'd get them home...
(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6n`vek wasn't quite sure how to take that... Afterall, THIS squidling? THIS N`vek, not Kevin, had barely been a member of Oliver's crew a week! Maybe two at the very most. He had no idea what sorts of shenanigans he had pulled himself into this time. Yet Minah and Oliver assured him that they always made it out.
(07:17:29 pm) <+Minah> Smiling at her husband sweetly, "Oh I don't know let's see. Because you did ALL OF THAT and I was just standing there making sure you didn't get your hands cut off in the background?" Grinning at him and adding for clarification's sake to Cherry "Yes, I do thank him a lot when he puts more in and I will continue to, but I think you can have one dear" to the pixie,
(07:17:29 pm) <+Minah> 6because it also might keep her quiet to be trying to get one of the gems out of the woman's hair by untying the knots and strings keeping them in. That kiss to her cheek makes her murmur "Yes, love, we always get home in the end." and they did! she wasn't in the least little bit ever worried that she would be lost without him because she never was, always was one place or another
(07:17:30 pm) <+Minah> 6with him after it was all said and done. But he steps in front of her and she blinked, looking at the cult and reaching to tug N'vek behind HER and patting him gently. Behind oliver's back she is quite obviously drawing weapons, but they were drawn in a way that was fluid as sweeping her fingers over her hips and the swords were laying against the backs of her legs between her and
(07:17:31 pm) <+Minah> 6N'vek so obvious had different definitions.
(07:18:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( Haha, second, neighbour popped over. She does not understand it's dork time. ))
(07:22:48 pm) <+Cherry> The group being split up might have caused her a bit of alarm if there wasn't a fluffy paw suddenly being whizzed in her direction.. "To slow!" she chided.. Even going as far as whirling around to give her fanny a shake shake rumpa shake in the kitties direction.. Probably a bit antagonistic, but she felt they were being unrealistic in their hositle attitude.. She didn't ask to be
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> brought here! She didn't even want to be in this funny place.. But wait, there were shinies, so that was really and truely up for debate! The mention of her getting to keep one of said sparkles caused her features to light up with bliss! A squeal of delight and a clap of her hands.. "Realllly? You mean it?" She wasted no time what so ever.. I mean absolutely not a single fraction of
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> a second passed by after those words rang from her lips.. Already she was ensnared in long strands trying to figure out how the gems were kept safely secured.. "Oooo.. This is gonna be tough, but I can do it.. GOOOOO CHERRRY!" She squealed from the depths of Minah's hair.. Yeah.... one might note that the little pixie was currently a bundle of energy that just couldn't seem to stay
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> still, and she was moving fast along the nap of the neck and wiggling all throughout to inspect her new found bounty... Perhaps tickly, perhaps even a slight bit annoying! The sudden stop of Minah walking jolted her a bit.. Weeble wobble.. sway and toss.. She grabbed one strand of jewels and hung on for dear life while she peeked around the side of her neck to take a gander at what
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> was going on.. Blink blink.. "Uhhhh." And now she was torn.. Bubbly water and chanting people or GEMS.. It was truely a tough decision.

(07:24:08 pm) <@Nauranor> 2 She did indeed recognize the subtle signs of different tribes, all working together. Now that was odd, but noteworthy too. Phet'kree were notoriously territorial, especially against their own kind. So why were so many different tribes working together? Something to tell her elders for sure. Nauranor was studying the whole scene, from the bubblink lake to the glowing portal,
(07:24:08 pm) <@Nauranor> 2following the tendrils of magic and corruption from it. It was a tear in the very rift of this space and time, an abberation in this forest full of them. "Should you wish to return to where you come from, might I suggest you fools get to the gate." The voice calling down was feminine and touched with disdain, serious in tone. Of course, the phet'kree, the mages, and whatever they
(07:24:08 pm) <@Nauranor> 2were doing to the lake were between the group and the portal, but maybe that would spur them on. They didn't belong here. And maybe, just maybe, they'd take care of this pesky problem on their way out.
(07:25:12 pm) <+Misamo> <Liliana> She had been silent, not really sure what was happening let alone why the hell she was pulled into something else... but then again it meant more entertainment and less boredom and that was always a welcome change. There was a dangerous sort of glint in those wild icy blue orbs of hers, a crazed unhinged sort even if she herself seemed normal. She was human, twenty at best
(07:25:12 pm) <+Misamo> with short blonde locks that kissed at the curve of her jaw, her lithe pale form clothed in a black chinese style dress with a golden dragon design that coiled around her body and ended at her right breast.

(07:30:44 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> It was obvious Oliver had no fucks to give, as he walked into the clearing and just tried to speak with the chanting mages. The distraction did not seem to interfere with their chanting, though the one that stood under the archway glanced to The Group as they approached. The Phet'Kree continued to push The Group into the clearing. Robbi and Derick at least had gotten --
(07:30:44 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- the feline people away from Derick, allowing them some leeway. The rocks that Robbi threw only angered them, and resulted in a few threats and attempts with the spears, but ovetures only. Posturing seemed to keep most of this group under control. Despite Derrick's demands for information or knowledge, after 'besting' them in combat, he received nothing but more --
(07:30:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- hisses, and the threats of pointy sharp teeth. Elwin, assisting Derick and Robbi in their brief escape, came into the clearing. Katja's insult caused several of the Phet'Kree to snarl, their fur bristling as they watched her walk over their fallen friend. As The Group made their way into the clearing, the Father, the Head Mage that stood beneath the archway looked at --
(07:30:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- them. His face was shrouded in a dark hood, but somehow, the impression of a mouth opened, like a shark's, with rows and rows of teeth in a wicked smile, glittering with the light that radiated about him. Nauranor's voice from the trees drewhis attention. 14"The elves have come!" he snarled, somehow understood by all there present. Matthew would sense that there was --
(07:30:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- more corruption here, in the heart of the lagoon, than anywhere else. THe place reeked of evil and taint. His malevolence turned on The Group, obviously believing that they were somehow attached to the Mazewood rangers. 14"Fools. Kill them all," he said to the mages, who as one, turned to The Group, the same time the Phet'Kree did. On the breast of the Father, the --
(07:30:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- sickening green glow of the gem there brightened, somehow absorbing all this animosity. He resumed his chanting as his followers, and the subverted, vicious cat people turned on The Group.
(07:31:33 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( I know I skipped a few people who weren't intereacting directly with the Phet'Kree or the mages, and I'm sorry! I wanted to get the post out since I was delayed with my neighbour coming over. ))

Sizzled against her skin, almsot as if she was in pain, but in reality it was one of those moments were someone expected something painful to hapepen, but it never actually came.. Well aside from the tendrils coiling and curling around her very tiny, diminutive frame.. Small hands curled.. Furled over the thick appendanges..
(06:21:53 pm) <+Cherry> Nails attempting to dig into it in order to get it to release her.. SHe didn't care if she fell from great heights, considering, but when there was no immediate drop she grew frightful and worried. The dazzeling, blinding light had pale, blonde lashes fluttering rapidly as she attempted to get the bright white she was now seeing removed from blue iris.. There was a flitter of silken
(06:21:53 pm) <+Cherry> wing.. Pink, glossy things fluttering and beating swiftly together.. "What.. Where.. Who? WHYYYYYY?" Small hands went to feeling about, but slowly the surroundings now engulfing the group was slowly coming into view.. at first only seeing feet and bodies strewn around her, but as she let her gaze wander further away from the immediate vicinity to the beyond.. She became just the barest
(06:21:53 pm) <+Cherry> bit scared. Soft frown tugged at the gentle curves of her lips.. Pink wings drooping a tad. "Nooooo!" Stamp stamp stampy feet given.. Kicking the ground a bit in frustration. "I just wannnnnna go home." She sobbed pittifully.
(06:26:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> Nauranor's band were not the focus of the cat people (known as Phet'Kree in this world), and perhaps they didn't even realize the woodsy elves were there. Such things were entirely possible. One thing was sure to the Mazewood elves: the Phet'Kree were acting quite oddly. Matthew would find himself in the middle of a barren forest, frosted, with several other people, --
(06:26:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- all with oddities about their clothing, about to be attacked by the feline natives. Few seemed to have any idea of what was going on here at this particular moment. Robbi, Derick, Elwin and Oliver attempting to speak to the Phet'Kree would get no reply, just angered squeals of feline annoyance. Outsiders were not welcomed here! If they understood what either of them --
(06:26:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- were saying, they gave no indication of it as they lept to pounce on her. They were not friends. L'ylianna, being nearer to the center, was not attacked directly, but she was prodded at a few times over at the length of a spear from one female, eyeing her warily. Katja was left in peace, though watched while she applied the poisonous venom to her blades. She was to be --
(06:26:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- observed, the feline people wary of the scent of death on her sword. Kraken was sniffed after, because he was fishy, and cats loved fish. Only the most aggressive of the Phet'Kree had attacked the quartet mentioned above, but it would seem as though they were not intent on damage, more like, herding. With spears and prods, the Phet'Kree attempted to move the massive --
(06:26:47 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- group of suddenly arrived outsiders forward, along a game path, towards the sound of chanting. Minah had it about right. And Cherry... she was just a tiny pixy, worth swatting out of the skies. The Phet'Kree were not interested in murdering or killing, but subduing and allowing their Father to see them. The sound of chanting ahead rose in crescendo and a wave of --
(06:26:47 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- sickening, evil magic radiated from the source before them.
(06:27:49 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( Chaos: You're with the ignored group, sorry I missed you. ))
(06:28:49 pm) <@Nauranor> 2 Skillfully hidden above, the elven ranger smirked and just shook her head. Fools, all of them, especially the one trying to make nice with the felinoid creatures as though they were pets. But these strangely dressed mortals weren't her problem. Yet. Now, how they were getting here and who was summoning them, THAT was a problem. A few silent and quick gestures and she and her
(06:28:50 pm) <@Nauranor> 2hunting party ghosted amidst the treetops, hidden still from the disturbance below. No one knew these woods as the Mazewood elves did, save the monstrous denizens of the forest themselves, but even they couldn't leap from tree to tree as the lithe elves could, all in silence and shadow. Many of these strange folk carried items foreign to her, or wore suits of armor far more complicated
(06:28:50 pm) <@Nauranor> 2and advanced than any she had ever seen. Let them deal with the Phet'kree, she signalled to her group. Magic had brought these invaders here, but who? Even more strange, the Phet'kree were herding this strange group along. So they followed, still hidden in the shadows far above.
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6The sassy pirate spots Hunter and winces. Nope! Not going to go harass him again. he'd fled in a rather girly fashion earlier what with the thinking he was going to die horrifically and all. 14"Hello, friend!14"6 he chimes and offers a wave to the giant clockwork man. Oh man he hopes this guy remembers he's a friend. 14"I was joking earlier!14"6 he tacks on and hops around
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6with a lithe motion, graceful from his years walking around the deck of a ship in terrible weather. A centaur! Why, that's fascinating! He tilts his head in interest and trots towards Elwin. This guy looks intelligent, perhaps he knows what's going on. Minah's familiar voice makes him glance over his shoulder and eye her. 14"Drinking more! That sounds like a stellar idea! Let's
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 14get right on that. Soon. When we get home. Or back to wherever it is we've been sleeping. And sleeping too.14"6 A bright grin crosses his face and he flashes a wink at her. 14"Possibly.14"6 And then there's a pixie! The sight of the pink wonder makes him squeal in an almost girly fashion and he waves at her, 14"Me too! I like home.14"6 Really does. Even if the people at home
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6think that he eats lead paint for breakfast and constantly pity his poor wife for being with him. 14"And I don't think they want to reason.14"6 That makes him sigh. He rubs at the back of his neck and follows the Phet'kree because, well, herding and not attacking. 14"Alright, fine. Maybe they're kicking us out. But I swear that if we're heading towards a big pot filled with boiling
(06:30:20 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 14water and vegetables, I'm going to run. Minah, keep up with me or else.14"6 Would he leave her behind? Of course not!
(06:32:06 pm) * +Robbi is easily herded along, not wanting to fight and not knowing what's going on at all. She looks around at the cat people keeping them surrounded, but more importantly at the people she is here with. "You are ..." she begins upon seeing Derick, but trails off as she notes he doesn't know his name. "You're here too?" She grimaces a bit. Derick and Elwin...
(06:32:06 pm) * +Robbi shakes her head a bit, glancing between everyone. "What's going on here?" the dog girl asks. "Does anyone know? Everything feels... wrong." Not knowing anything of magic, just relying on her own gut feeling... But that's easily enough to tell that something is wrong. Still, she stays brave, not letting the situation get to her too much. Stay brave and don't let your guard down, she reminds herself.
(06:32:51 pm) * +L`ylianna watched the cats carefully. They'd have made their move had they intended to kill them. They were being hearded. She simply stood, holding her hands up slightly to show comlience. Best not to start a scene when other methods of deafeat could be used. She would begin walking with the others as the cats had them. This was one dark elf halfbreed who was playing it safe.
(06:33:33 pm) * +Robbi does try to dart from the cats that attack her though, otherwise just staying as near the group as possible. Definitely not wanting to be separated from them, she may hide by them if the cats don't stop attacking.
(06:33:57 pm) <+Katja`> Katja noticed Cherry, and her hand twitched towards her bag. 'The blowgun could take care of her - it would be just a moment' she thought 'a dab of poisons... Nah, too expensive. And ' she had a small silent giggle 'there are bigger fish to catch right now.' She wouldn't move unless someone prodded her directly, and if so, she wouldn't go without a fight - though she would go quietly. A...
(06:33:58 pm) <+Katja`> ...knife to the jugular and a tab of poison to the eye do wonders. The joy of having not one, but 2 weapons.
(06:34:16 pm) <+Kraken> 6This might have been the squidling they knew, though he looked slightly different what with the tentacle legs he'd been sporting moments earlier, easily brushed off for reasons though. And good reasons too! Maybe this was their N`vek but a little ways into the future where he had learned to shift how squidlike he was? Or a different Kevin/N`vek altogether! 14"Minah?... Oliver?"
(06:34:17 pm) <+Kraken> 146Came his frightened voice, he had no idea where he was except that it was a forest and there were cat people. The boy would inch his way closer to the pira-traders. Something familiar to him! And those cats were sniffing at him... Cats loved fish. Cats ate fish... Definitely not the Kevin from before, this was a different one, a more skittish one, one armed with a bow like weapon
(06:34:17 pm) <+Kraken> 6instead of a sword. 14"I want to go home..." 6The cats were sniffing him, N`vek bit back a hiss and instead flashed those warning colors of his, tentacles flattening and pulsating with colors any competant predator would associate with poison.
(06:34:37 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich raises his hands slowly
(06:34:41 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Derick didn't like being herded, but seeing that he was being herded, it didn't really look as if he had a choice. One way or another, he was drawing his second dagger, the same length and make but a different metal, this one silver. He moved along next to Robbi and snarled, "Ya' know, this is a real goo' fuckin' welcome. An' it don' look like they speak common either. 'M thinkin' we're in...
(06:34:43 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...f'r a bad one this time, Robbi." He was a grumbly, cranky pirate right now and it showed.
(06:35:32 pm) <+Hunter`of`Arktos> There was a loud exhale that exuded itself from the helmet before the rifle was unholstered once more. The helmet turned to meet Oliver, sky-blue eye-sockets pierced through the group to simply stare towards Oliver, no pupils or facial reactions could betray his feelings or emotions. Before long, the gaze soon turned itself back onto the feline attackers. There was a sudden realization that <--
(06:35:32 pm) * +Hunter`of`Arktos --> 6 they were being herded and as such, the white-and-navy blue sleek suit of armor began to follow alongside the group, red and orange outlines pulsating every now and then. The elongated abyss-coloured rifle, complete with a constant streaming sky-blue outline pointed upwards, armored hands attempting to swat any spears or attacks that had come near him. <<--
(06:35:54 pm) * Alida is now known as TOO_AFK
(06:36:03 pm) <+{[> <Elwin> "You, you... straggler people!" Because they were all strangers to him. "Fall in!" At that point, standing together looked like it was their best bet. Safety and deterrence in numbers. He didn't take too kindly to spears and angry hisses, to say the least, he snagged free his dandy walking stick to thwak the spears away when they came in his direction as he stepped around
(06:36:04 pm) <+{[> and off to the side. The sidepassing was only a ruse at best, however, once he was no longer as tightly packed in by other people, he exploded forward as he tried to feint them out and herd them right back out of his space in turn. It was a bold and likely stupid move but it seemed immediate surrender just wasn't his thing. His reply to Robbi would have to wait.
(06:36:12 pm) * Caturday is now known as LB
(06:37:14 pm) * Scathien ([email protected]) Quit
(06:37:31 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich lets himself get ushered along
(06:37:35 pm) <+Minah> Sighing and grabbing for Oliver's hand as he starts to talk again, he didn't need to tell her to keep up with him because she was latching onto his hand and would go wherever the cat people decided to take her talker mctalkerson of a husband. His wink and the emphasis between sleeping and sleeping is snorted at and she just grips his hand and grasps the handle of that dagger with
(06:37:36 pm) <+Minah> 6its glitterings. Tossing her head back slightly and looking around the company, eyeing the pixie and the squidling, she muttered "Is that n've--" But then he was asking for them and she nodded at him a little "It's us N'vek, come stay by us." Lifting her hand away from the hilt of that dagger to run it up through her hair, brilliang gems of glitting wealth swung in her
(06:37:37 pm) <+Minah> 6hair and she wished for another time that she had her swords on her again "Drinking.. yes." muttering it softly and letting herself be shunted along with N'vek and the lead based paint eating Captain "This is getting stranger and stranger, you really must have put something disturbing up a magician, love. I think they are herding but I don't think it's to the exit."
(06:37:38 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Derick didn't like being herded, but seeing that he was being herded, it didn't really look as if he had a choice. One way or another, he was drawing his second dagger, the same length and make but a different metal, this one silver. He himself jumped towards the nearest pouncing cat man and met him mod air, aiming his daggers for the thing's kidneys while he kneed it in the crotch. Herding...
(06:37:39 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...Derick was a bad idea. He was not a cow, he was a rum swigging pirate, and he fought like one too. (RETCON cause I derp'd)
(06:39:19 pm) <+Cherry> If her head could spin circles like the girl on the exorcist, it most likely would have at this particular point and time.. So many new species.. So many people... SO MANY THINGS... SHINEY THINGS! She wanted them all.. Yeah, sure.. there was danger involved.. Immeninent and staring her right in the face with those pointed spears held by kitties who in all reality she jsut wanted to
(06:39:19 pm) <+Cherry> pet.. I mean come on. they have point ears with tufts of fur! Who wouldn't want to pet them, but she while she was a playful thing, she was also quite intelligent, and this was a serious situation not some game to be played... yet. There was one thing that was noticable which called to her more than anything else currently present.. Most likely due to the fact that she tended to
(06:39:19 pm) <+Cherry> collect shiney, expensive things! The jewels and gems tucked in Minah's luxorious locks had her stamping feet stalling mid-air and the frown she previously sported almost turned into this sly little smile.. Tempted to steal one, but she thought better of it since everyone was already ready to attack.. The chanting.. evil.. vile voices roiling across the air to greet her left her
(06:39:20 pm) <+Cherry> shuddering on the ground in a little pixie puddle.. Small arms coming up to curl around her torso to give herself a squeezing hug that she so desperately needed! Bits of pillowy flesh plumped up against her forearms.. spilled slightly overtop seeing as how they were hardly restrained by anything else.. Just a bit of pasties and a floral skirt which rode low on her shapely hips. Suddenly
(06:39:20 pm) <+Cherry> she was up and fluttering.. Small wings whizzing against one another.. "Hellllllloooo! You are pretty.. your jewlery is pretty! I'm scared.. Can I ride with you? PLeaaaaaaaaase?" Nervousness caused those words to tumble like a wild torrent from her full lips.. "I promise to be nice and not steal one even though I really really want it!" Tatteling a bit on herself. She was oblivious
(06:39:20 pm) <+Cherry> to the side long looks from Katja, but it was hard not to notice Oliver because he was right next to Minah.
(06:40:17 pm) * Syri-Bed ([email protected]) has joined #multiverse-event
(06:45:13 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> Oliver, easily subdued, or not threatening as the others had been, had not been scratched or viciously assaulted. He seemed to be going along with their attempt to guide them, but it was obvious the Phet'Kree did not like to be talked to by outsiders. Robbi and L`ylianna, being compliant with the Phet'Kree's desires, were left mostly unmolested, but still kept with --
(06:45:14 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- the rest of the group. Katja was poked at with a spear, the Phet'Kree watching her staying their distance. They had smelled the death she had slicked over her daggers, and realized the danger in that. They were not interested in doing anything but making her go along where they wanted. Kraken's display of warning was clearly taken to heart. The feline people stepped --
(06:45:14 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- back but gestured wordlessly with their spears to keep moving with the group. The colour changes were universally recognized as dangerous. Funnily, the metal tipped spears the Phet'Kree carried only chimed and clinked against Hunter`of`Arktos's armour. This was puzzling to them, and they could be heard speaking in hushed voices to one another when this was discovered. --
(06:45:15 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- Instead of leaving him be, they only jabbed at the armour harder, trying to make him go along with the rest of the group. Minah, now joining Kraken and Oliver, and Elwin, Cherry and Matthew, also placid, were not harmed, and just moved along with all the others. Derick, having lept into one of the nearest to him Phet'Kree, tumbled to the ground with the spear wielding --
(06:45:15 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- cat person. The others turned on him, and began to jab viciously and potentially lethally at him with their spears, he was to be stopped at all costs. Several of the Phet'Kree began to threaten the rest of The Group with their own spears with Derick's sudden attack, hissing at them. An ear rending thunder clap was heard overhead, ripping apart the skies with a streak --
(06:45:16 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- of lightning, straight for the area ahead of them. The sound of chanting grew louder in its wake. The Phet'Free, as one, looked up and howled in response, beginning once again to usher The Group along.
(06:48:14 pm) <@Nauranor> 2 Elven ears had picked up the chanting and as oddly interesting as the assortment of strangers below them were, she gestured for her partner to follow her ahead while the other pair ghosted along with the 'prisoners' in silence. Why were the phet'kree herding them? Had this dark magic summoned these strange people? Were they allies or foes? Only time would tell. For now the
(06:48:14 pm) <@Nauranor> 2ranger took up a position where she had a view of the happenings of teh chanting mages, the dark energies in the air making even her skin crawl. They'd be lucky if all this magic working didn't draw forth worse things than the phet'kree. Werewolves and werespiders made their homes and nests in these woods, as did many other dangerous creatures, and chaos usually drew them like moths
(06:48:14 pm) <@Nauranor> 2to a flame. Blood certainly would. The lightning dazzled her eyes and the ranger drew her bow, signalling her fellow hunters to circle the area.
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6Kevin! Kevin's spotted and he waves to the squidling with a bright smile. 14"N`vek!14"6 he calls out and opens his arms up to offer a hug or just a gesture of greeting. Which it is depends on if the squid runs over to him or not. 14"Come over here and we'll help keep you safe.14"6 Relatively so, at least, considering that he's going along with the herding instead of fighting
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6against it. All the while he stays near Elwin because the centuar's bigger than him and that could be useful later on. Oh, then the pirate's fighting and he points, glances at Minah, and looks back to Derick like he's asking for permission to flip some feline tables. Her hand's given a squeeze and he wags his brows. 14"Got your swords on you?14"6 he asks and squirms around some.
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6The pixie attracts his attention and he chuckles, 14"Hey! If you can't ride her, hop on my shoulder! Unless I have to leap into action. Yes, my dear love's just gorgeous isn't she?14"6 But then there's OMINOUS THUNDER and his hands shoot up into the air. 14"Or we'll walk and get sacraficed to whatever tribal god these things worship. You know, whatever.14"6 Derick's eyed again
(06:49:37 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6and he grunts, torn between reason and leaping valiently into the face of danger. Also action. Because he's just itching for some stabby goodness.
(06:51:12 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich sighs and walks along, asessing the number of cat creatures.
(06:51:26 pm) <+Hunter`of`Arktos> As they jabbed at first, there was a simple chuckle that uttered itself from the helmet. Filtrated, cold, almost hinting at a bit of malice as they continued to stab harder and hard at his armor, only providing bits of scuff and scratches on the paint job, the rifle was lowered back down towards them. He continued to be herded, however, remaining semi-compliant as he considered simply burning <--
(06:51:26 pm) * +Hunter`of`Arktos --> 6 every single one of these creatures to the ground. As soon as he was about to, however, his finger removed itself from the trigger area, the flash of lightning caught his attention and he quickly switched his mood to be compliant in the herding. <<--
(06:53:07 pm) <+Katja`> Katja rolled towards the cat at the feel of the spear, and mutters "Riett ahrllië stiargiéhh steye dé!" - "You will die for that" in Infernal. She attempts to prod the poisoned, glistening blade up into the catperson, and failing that would attempt to hit the leg. This poison was one of her more spectacular ones. When it works, it would cause the subject immense pain, though that pain is...
(06:53:09 pm) <+Katja`> ...unfortunatly brief, less than a minute. And no other effects, unfortunatly accompanied it. But it was fun, and it would distract the others... hopefully.
(06:53:26 pm) <+Kraken> 6Looked so relieved as Minah called his name, it showed but he was still scared, inching away from the sniffing herding felines. 14"What did Oliver do this time, Minah?.." 6Because odds were if something bad and crazy happened? It was all Oliver's fault. 14"Very strange." 6Annnd sticking close to Minah. They didn't try to hurt him, only to move... He wasn't Meow Mix, they understood
(06:53:27 pm) <+Kraken> 6his color threats. Possibly a bluff but N`vek didn't really know whether or not his flesh was toxic not if he had a venomous bite, but the colors were all that were needed. You don't risk such patterns like this lightly. He would refrain from clinging to Oliver with all his grippy arms but did a small hug before going along with the nonfighting group. He glanced to the pixie and
(06:53:27 pm) <+Kraken> 6watched her for a few moments before reality told him to pay attention to the cats. 14"I have my bow, Oliver..."
(06:53:56 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Stabbing Derick was one of the many ways to not kill him. I mean, sure, it would kill him, but it was messy. He rolled off of Phet`Kree, and kept his daggers between him and those trying to stab him. Of course, the spears that stabbed him had done damage, but they would also begin to corrode. The nature of Derick's acid blood was just not going to jive with the metal spears in the long run....
(06:53:58 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...Much in the same way that Derick's burp, which released an inhuman gas that stunk on a nose-bleed-inducing level, was not going to jive with the feline noses. If and once the feline people backed off, he would limp, crawl, and stumble off to join the herded group, walking backwards to keep an eye on the cat people. Or, he would be speared and further maimed. Woopsies. He seems to have...
(06:54:00 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...misread the situation a tad.
(06:54:18 pm) <+{[> <Elwin> He reared up again as his feinted charge proved largely uneffective and then Derick, well, he decided to be Derick. He reached for the nearest feline tail he could find and yanked, hard, if he caught a hold at least. "Cease!" Gah, bloody cat folk. He too noted the lightning and cocked a brow at it. "Hmn. Get out of there, Derick. We need to move." He grumbled at the pirate,
(06:54:19 pm) <+{[> as if the man were just derping around in that pile of angry kitties. If he got the attention of the fellow he was tail=yankin' he'd point to the sky then drag his fingers across the air, wiggling them to mimic the zigzagging of lightning. Afterwards he lifted that hand and let it fall, said fingers wiggling in mimicry of rain.
(06:55:44 pm) * +L`ylianna glanced about and took the time to study the others. Strange things had been going on for abit, and this turn of events was no suprise. Judgeing by the view, she figure she was possibly still near Drache maybe, though alot of forests can look similer. She hugged her cloak about her tighter, the sickly damp and cool air chilling her to the bones.
(06:56:04 pm) * +Robbi cringes as Derick suddenly attacks someone, turning toward him as she finds the other cats ganging up on him. "Hey-!" she begins only to find herself menaced by the cats and their spears instead, backing up. Brave, she reminds herself. Brave, need to be brave and that means not backing down and watching as one of her allies is killed. The thunderclap makes her cringe, breaking her attention.
(06:56:04 pm) * +Robbi shakes her head to regain her senses before yelling at the cats, her voice near a roar. "Leave him alone!" she yells, trying to think of a way to interfere that isn't suicidal. If she could get past the spears menacing her - then she could help. But then what? She searches for a solution... She glances down and crouches, picking up a handful of dirt...
(06:56:04 pm) * +Robbi throws the dirt for the faces of the cats in front of her, to blind them before trying to dash past them, using her height to try and weave between them and go toward Derick. She roars at the cats again, trying to force their attention away from Derick to give him a chance to back away. "RUN!" she shouts for him.
(06:59:33 pm) <+Minah> There comes that glittering Pixie and Minah blinked as she was getting asked to give a pixie ride, even in the confusion and chaos of the cat people she smirked at the little thing and her reaction to the gems in her hair "ahh.. I guess?" Blinking at the fluttering wings and lifting her hair off to the side, letting it drip back down over her shoulder so it flowed back with
(06:59:33 pm) <+Minah> 6the chunky fetishes swinging to her mid spine. "Thank you?" Was questioningly said and she shot her husband an amused look, glancing back at the pixie and saying passively "You can have one if you like, Oliver sneaks them into my hair but they're starting to get to be too many.." amused and annoyed because "Of course I have my swords" snorting softly, now that they
(06:59:34 pm) <+Minah> 6weren't trying to get them apart she'd not be so hell bent on holding Oliver's hand though when he shot his hands up, her own went with him. Wriggling her fingers and tugging his down "I'd prefer you not attack anything unless we have the ability to LIVE through it, Oliver." Was muttered to hm and she pulled his hand to her lips to kiss it lightly before releasing it and just
(06:59:35 pm) <+Minah> 6staying by him, fingers wrapped around the hilt of one of those scimitars and eyeing the cat people, saying a little more loudly "Unless we're ALL going to fight, I don't think There is a point in just a couple of you battling with them, it doesn't seem--" But people were flipping some tables around the place and she growled softly about these few getting all of them killed
(06:59:36 pm) <+Minah> 6"We're OUT NUMBERED" She said more loudly and mumbled to N'vek, eyeing the cat people to make sure they didn't just get annoyed with the fighters and kill those that were going along with them "Oliver probably called a wizard something stupid, or got him drink and pulled his wizard robes up over his head N'vek.. you know the usual OLIVER stuff.
(07:03:29 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> Ahead of the group, the chanting grew louder, as did the sound of bubbling water, as if it was being boiled rapidly. As the first of The Group broke the underbrush into the clearing, they were greeted with the site of a large lagoon, gloriously ancient ruins crumbling where they once proudly stood, and what appeared to be a cult of some sort. Arrayed along the banks --
(07:03:30 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- of the corrupted Black Lagoon of the Elgar were several, darkly robed, humanoid figures. Each had their hands over their heads, and each were chanting in time with one another. The place thrummed to the cadence of their words, a steady pulse that the foreigners could feel through their bones, rising up out of the ground. It wasn't merely a massive lagoon, but the --
(07:03:30 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- ruins of some ancient temple or grand building stood nearby. An arched frame still managed to rise up from the stone foundations, and light poured from it, sickly green and brilliant, a smoke curling around the silhouetted figure there. Whoever they were, they were tall, and shrouded in darkness, or perhaps only seeming that way with the light from the arch behind --
(07:03:31 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- them. About where one would assume a chest would be, a matching sphere of light glowed, pulsating in time to the beat of the chanting that each of the robed figures spoke. The dark waters of the Black Lagoon burbled and bubbled, slowly at first, before it picked up speed, as if something was trying to rise from its depths. Oliver, Minah, Kraken, Matthew, the Hunter of --
(07:03:31 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- Arktos, and L'ylianna would all see the cult, the lagoon and the strange ruins, for they hadn't tried to attack the Phet'Kree. Derick, Robbi, Elwin and Katja had all chosen to attack and were now dealing with more and more cat people launching themselves heedlessly into the fray to defend their fallen comrades. Only Nauranor would recognize that these Phet'Kree were --
(07:03:32 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- not all of the same tribe, so their working arrangement in such a way was an oddity. Katja's feint was a good one, if only for the speed and surprise with which she moved. The length of the spear was an advantage, but having deflecting the first blow, could not do the same with the second. The poisoned blade cut along the thigh of one Phet'kree, causing it to howl in --
(07:03:32 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- agony. Derick's blood and its entropic effect was telling, the spearheads erroding and burning, causing the Phet'Kree that held them to release them and step away, allowing him to rise. Robbi's roaring caused several near her to hiss angrily at her, and lift their weapons to her, attempting to get her and the others that had lagged behind to watch Derick's heroics to --
(07:03:33 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- get moving. Once the group was back together, or partially back together, they would see the real problem: A cadre of mages standing around, working what was clearly something wicked, around a large lagoon that was bubbling as if something was attempting to rise from it.
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> While the pixie may be small, she was not without her own defensive charms and wiles.. Which mind, you did not include flashing a bit of pixie flesh at someone, but more of the natural magical nature that all pixies were born with. Derick actually being hurt a bit by the kitty folk with charming, froofy tails had her attention detoured from the bobble encrusted locks, even more so
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> when the meows went to hoisting those spears at the groups direction even though they were walking in that herded fashion! A huff huff.. "HEY! Be nice you big fluffy meany headtoadfacemcnakedbutts!" She harumphed and hollared at them, not quite concerned with the fact they didn't like being talked to.. Afterall, if they wanted to hurt her.. they would have to catch or find her first!
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> Already she was plotting places to hide.. You know, like the centaurs flipping tail.. The bits of clothing on L'ylianna, between the squishy tentacles of Kraken, Katja's bag.. The possibilities really were endless, but for whatever reason her mind kept zooming back to hiding in Elwin's tail! She sort of wanted to braid it! But then there was that crack of lightening flashing across
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> the sky and zooming down to pelt the ground in front of them! Why fly and hide a few feet off when Minah was already lifting those glorious locks to let her hide under them? Quickly she wizzed and darted up to the shoulder.. Bare feet gently landing on it as she nuzzled up close to the woman, but she couldn't resist one last taunt.. A peek of her head out from between thick strands..
(07:03:36 pm) <+Cherry> Swift intake of air... 'Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu cough cough sputter.. huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.. Cheeks bulged as her tongue peeked out from between her lips and she let those raspberries just a fly about, apparently her go to thing for when she felt she was being threatened
(07:04:53 pm) <@Nauranor> 2For now the elven rangers hidden above were merely observing, remaining hidden from all of thsoe below. Let us see what our 'heroes' would do.
(07:05:02 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> <Game Master> One of the closer Phet'Kree would attempt to swat Cherry out of the sky with a feline quick snap of their spear. That's a bad pixy.

Maybe she tried to braid that ugly beard because it was just screaming for it. I don't know. She could have mooned him too! Maybe!14"6 Except she wasn't the one to do any of that crap. It's aaaall his glory. He snorts and

I always steer us back to port...eventually.14"6 If his shortcuts didn't land them on two different soils first. It may take months but, yes, home. He snorts at Minah, 14"Too many my behind. You like them and thank me a lot when I put a few more in.14"6 he points out with a

No shanking the kitties.14"6 he mutters under his breath and leans towards her to give the woman's cheek a peck. 14"Going on, love, to a cooking pot or whatever else they're going to put us through.14"6 Then the sound OF WATER. Abruptly he swears and flails around some, 14"Ah HELL what was I just saying about us being soup? Really?14"6
(07:09:26 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6he complains and starts fidgeting around more. Both hands dip into the inner pockets of his coat as though he's reaching for weap--okay, he's clearly reaching for weapons and that's obvious. But they aren't drawn out, and he just narrows his eyes at the cult. A serious look crosses his face, making his dark eyes narrow and he draws himself up so he's taller in height, stepping out
(07:09:26 pm) <+Oliver_Killian> 6in front of Minah to put himself between her, the cult, and whatever the crap is burbl--oh the lagoon. Well maybe it's just a giant cooker. Either way it just looks vile.

(07:09:58 pm) <+Hunter`of`Arktos> The continued prodding and poking got a grunt out of him before he was introduced to a rather strange and unique sight. There was a small whistle from the helmet before the Hunter stepped forward, rifle lowered down to the ground as eyes attempted to focus in on the figure shrouded by smoke.

(07:10:53 pm) * +Robbi isn't trying to fight fairly; no, she knows she can't. She wanted the cats away from Derick, but to fight them in his steadt? No way. Not unarmed. Breaking through to Derick's side of it all she just runs, trying to get as far from the cats as she can. She knows she needs to stay away or else she'll end up just as bad off as Derick.
(07:10:53 pm) * +Robbi leans down as she goes to snatch up rocks, throwing them at her pursuers or the cats still attacking Derick. Quick thinking and accuracy; even if she's not a brawler and could never hope to defeat the cats in melee, she is good enough at her accuracy to strike the cats in the head. She's well aware that she may end up cornered, but that's a concern for later...
(07:11:50 pm) * +L`ylianna would step into the clearing, and stared in awe of the sight. The cloaked ones were obviously practicing foul magics, but her eyes glanced to the ancient ruins. How mighty it must have once been. She looked about the clearing, the feel of something otherworldly and wrong, like a cancerous growth on the balance of nature. It lingered in the air, as she imagined other elves
(07:11:50 pm) * +L`ylianna would also be extremly sensitive to it. She tried to keep her composure, though the sickening in her belly seemed to be growing.

(07:13:20 pm) * +Matthew_Gudavich steps out into the ruin and looks around with a frown. he turns and shouts at Robbi 14"Get BACK here!" before looking at the.... whatever they were gathered
(07:13:35 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> Derick was done here. He padded his way back towards the Group AFTER snatching up Robbi and taking the little pup along with him. "Look'ee here. They're disarmed an' we're gonna jus' be on our merry way, alrigh' pup?" He placed Robbi on his shoulders and went to the group to watch the evil mages do their thing... or something. He didn't understand magic all that much. So, he spent some of...
(07:13:37 pm) <+Derick`Keyman> ...the time giving the cat people looks of 'I told you so' and 'Don't forget it'. Then, he tried again, asking the cat people, "I jus' bested ya' in combat. Now, wha's goin' on here? Answers. Now."

(07:16:22 pm) <+{[> <Elwin> He hissed back at the angry kitties, albiet in effectively and continued along his way and then they came to the line of casters and he could only put his hands on his 'hips'. He didn't need to say it, his expression spoke for itself. 'How about no'. He inclined his head to the already stabbed and battered Derick then he peered back at the cat people. "They're going to kill
(07:16:22 pm) <+{[> you all." What a sunshiney chap.
(07:16:28 pm) <+Katja`> Katja notices the multitude of cats, ever multiplying, increasing. Those pests always acted that way. So. Fucking. Many. That was the problem. Too many. Even she couldn't fight them off... or even hide - she was already in the middle. She raised her hands above her head, and let go of the daggers, which dropped to about an inch over the grouned - they are attached to her wrist sheats with a...
(07:16:29 pm) <+Katja`> ...thin, strong string. She looks the cats attacking in the eyes, and walks on the fallen feline to return to the group. As she walks, if the cats allow her, she slowly lowers her arms, picking up the string, to place the daggers back in her sheath.

(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6That was a no-go on his bow, but he would still hold onto it. He could work the thing well with any of the pairs of arms he bore in his land form. Not so much his water form, but then he only had one pair of arms in that form and the fingers were webbed even more so, it made for some difficulty but he could still fire. WE'RE OUTNUMBERED Minah points out. Yes they were, it was best
(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6jsut to go with the flow so to speak right now. N`vek kept his warning colors up, not daring to let them fall into the fright patterns. He shuddered as the feel entered his body and what passed for bones in the boy. Water was there... scary water, black water, but it was water and already a part of him was calming. Water meant safety to the squid parts of his mind. Until it started
(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6to bubble and churn. That could only mean 14"uh oh.." 6He clung to Oliver as though that would offer him any protection. And careful, Cherry! While those tentacles were cool, squishy, and oh so colorful, they were strong things, just let the Squidling know you were landing there first so he doesn't accidentally squish you and feel horrified later on. Oliver said he'd get them home...
(07:16:45 pm) <+Kraken> 6n`vek wasn't quite sure how to take that... Afterall, THIS squidling? THIS N`vek, not Kevin, had barely been a member of Oliver's crew a week! Maybe two at the very most. He had no idea what sorts of shenanigans he had pulled himself into this time. Yet Minah and Oliver assured him that they always made it out.
(07:17:29 pm) <+Minah> Smiling at her husband sweetly, "Oh I don't know let's see. Because you did ALL OF THAT and I was just standing there making sure you didn't get your hands cut off in the background?" Grinning at him and adding for clarification's sake to Cherry "Yes, I do thank him a lot when he puts more in and I will continue to, but I think you can have one dear" to the pixie,
(07:17:29 pm) <+Minah> 6because it also might keep her quiet to be trying to get one of the gems out of the woman's hair by untying the knots and strings keeping them in. That kiss to her cheek makes her murmur "Yes, love, we always get home in the end." and they did! she wasn't in the least little bit ever worried that she would be lost without him because she never was, always was one place or another
(07:17:30 pm) <+Minah> 6with him after it was all said and done. But he steps in front of her and she blinked, looking at the cult and reaching to tug N'vek behind HER and patting him gently. Behind oliver's back she is quite obviously drawing weapons, but they were drawn in a way that was fluid as sweeping her fingers over her hips and the swords were laying against the backs of her legs between her and
(07:17:31 pm) <+Minah> 6N'vek so obvious had different definitions.
(07:18:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( Haha, second, neighbour popped over. She does not understand it's dork time. ))
(07:22:48 pm) <+Cherry> The group being split up might have caused her a bit of alarm if there wasn't a fluffy paw suddenly being whizzed in her direction.. "To slow!" she chided.. Even going as far as whirling around to give her fanny a shake shake rumpa shake in the kitties direction.. Probably a bit antagonistic, but she felt they were being unrealistic in their hositle attitude.. She didn't ask to be
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> brought here! She didn't even want to be in this funny place.. But wait, there were shinies, so that was really and truely up for debate! The mention of her getting to keep one of said sparkles caused her features to light up with bliss! A squeal of delight and a clap of her hands.. "Realllly? You mean it?" She wasted no time what so ever.. I mean absolutely not a single fraction of
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> a second passed by after those words rang from her lips.. Already she was ensnared in long strands trying to figure out how the gems were kept safely secured.. "Oooo.. This is gonna be tough, but I can do it.. GOOOOO CHERRRY!" She squealed from the depths of Minah's hair.. Yeah.... one might note that the little pixie was currently a bundle of energy that just couldn't seem to stay
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> still, and she was moving fast along the nap of the neck and wiggling all throughout to inspect her new found bounty... Perhaps tickly, perhaps even a slight bit annoying! The sudden stop of Minah walking jolted her a bit.. Weeble wobble.. sway and toss.. She grabbed one strand of jewels and hung on for dear life while she peeked around the side of her neck to take a gander at what
(07:22:49 pm) <+Cherry> was going on.. Blink blink.. "Uhhhh." And now she was torn.. Bubbly water and chanting people or GEMS.. It was truely a tough decision.

(07:24:08 pm) <@Nauranor> 2 She did indeed recognize the subtle signs of different tribes, all working together. Now that was odd, but noteworthy too. Phet'kree were notoriously territorial, especially against their own kind. So why were so many different tribes working together? Something to tell her elders for sure. Nauranor was studying the whole scene, from the bubblink lake to the glowing portal,
(07:24:08 pm) <@Nauranor> 2following the tendrils of magic and corruption from it. It was a tear in the very rift of this space and time, an abberation in this forest full of them. "Should you wish to return to where you come from, might I suggest you fools get to the gate." The voice calling down was feminine and touched with disdain, serious in tone. Of course, the phet'kree, the mages, and whatever they
(07:24:08 pm) <@Nauranor> 2were doing to the lake were between the group and the portal, but maybe that would spur them on. They didn't belong here. And maybe, just maybe, they'd take care of this pesky problem on their way out.
(07:25:12 pm) <+Misamo> <Liliana> She had been silent, not really sure what was happening let alone why the hell she was pulled into something else... but then again it meant more entertainment and less boredom and that was always a welcome change. There was a dangerous sort of glint in those wild icy blue orbs of hers, a crazed unhinged sort even if she herself seemed normal. She was human, twenty at best
(07:25:12 pm) <+Misamo> with short blonde locks that kissed at the curve of her jaw, her lithe pale form clothed in a black chinese style dress with a golden dragon design that coiled around her body and ended at her right breast. Simple black slip on shoes donned her feet making her steps silent as she moved, tapping her bottom lip as she watched what was happening as if waiting for the moment she would
(07:25:12 pm) <+Misamo> make her move.
(07:26:55 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( Posting, one moment. ))
(07:30:44 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> It was obvious Oliver had no fucks to give, as he walked into the clearing and just tried to speak with the chanting mages. The distraction did not seem to interfere with their chanting, though the one that stood under the archway glanced to The Group as they approached. The Phet'Kree continued to push The Group into the clearing. Robbi and Derick at least had gotten --
(07:30:44 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- the feline people away from Derick, allowing them some leeway. The rocks that Robbi threw only angered them, and resulted in a few threats and attempts with the spears, but ovetures only. Posturing seemed to keep most of this group under control. Despite Derrick's demands for information or knowledge, after 'besting' them in combat, he received nothing but more --
(07:30:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- hisses, and the threats of pointy sharp teeth. Elwin, assisting Derick and Robbi in their brief escape, came into the clearing. Katja's insult caused several of the Phet'Kree to snarl, their fur bristling as they watched her walk over their fallen friend. As The Group made their way into the clearing, the Father, the Head Mage that stood beneath the archway looked at --
(07:30:45 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- them. His face was shrouded in a dark hood, but somehow, the impression of a mouth opened, like a shark's, with rows and rows of teeth in a wicked smile, glittering with the light that radiated about him. Nauranor's voice from the trees drewhis attention. 14"The elves have come!" he snarled, somehow understood by all there present. Matthew would sense that there was --
(07:30:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- more corruption here, in the heart of the lagoon, than anywhere else. THe place reeked of evil and taint. His malevolence turned on The Group, obviously believing that they were somehow attached to the Mazewood rangers. 14"Fools. Kill them all," he said to the mages, who as one, turned to The Group, the same time the Phet'Kree did. On the breast of the Father, the --
(07:30:46 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> -- sickening green glow of the gem there brightened, somehow absorbing all this animosity. He resumed his chanting as his followers, and the subverted, vicious cat people turned on The Group.
(07:31:33 pm) <@Nymph[GM]> (( I know I skipped a few people who weren't intereacting directly with the Phet'Kree or the mages, and I'm sorry! I wanted to get the post out since I was delayed with my neighbour coming over. ))
