Scott already said I have to ask for help for Mae to have one of the shamanic characters to bring her back. Ingame at least, I don't see one of them, after having no qualms about killing, would deign to lower themselves to bring the character back to life. Honestly, there doesn't seem to be any help for her, considering if she is brought back, her first few actions will be to repay in kind the same type of sucker punch to the one that killed her. So far, this is playing out more like a Paranoia adventure, I'm just waiting for the vulture squadron to show up to mow down, er "escort" the remains of the group to debriefing with friend computer and wake up the next set of clones. No, I don't want Mae dead, took me long enough to get the character built (3-4 weeks if I remember, as well figure out a plausible concept, but mostly trying to figure out the rules that I still am struggling with). However, she will most likely wind up dead again as the epic level shamanic sister wipes the floor with her. Simply as Mae will indeed try to kill her, if only to use her skull as chamber pot. GM: Ack. Just remember GOD (Games Operational Director) or me is all knowing and all powerful. So to dis me is to welcome pain and death. :) From Mae: [Re: Actions] OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, Only those who remember Ultima Online might get the joke. I just hope she didn't gank my gear. Oh wait, damn it, she took my dagger. Don't care if she called it her dagger, it was laying there all innocent like and in need of being held and caressed.. Damn it Zin, I told you, let me get a breath in. Oh, if someone can bring it to themselves to save me and get this lug off of me, I would be ever so grateful. GM: Ack. For the record it was her dagger. Initially I had used Unali's dagger made by Z'leyra. But I forgot it was not fully 100% Kameran metal (thanks to Alex) so I needed a pure dagger and that was Z'layha's thus I replaced it and stated that in old update. From John: [Re: Actions] You're not the only one getting impaled right now, otherwise Arawn would be there to help... GM: Ack. Impaled...hah! From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Grabbing her staff and summoning her willpower, Z'leyra casts Dispell on her curse. Then twirling the staff she advances on Mae saying in increasing volume " You, Dare,.... GM: Ack. Staff? You got Great Sword. Staff is across the cave and that area smells really bad! From Fremea: [RE: Thrall] Fremea shakes her head and tries to get the room to stop spinning. Damn it all, how did that thing hit me? Well, now it is going to pay. She will cast Fascination (Max EL) to make it hers. GM: Ack. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] Oh, man. We are in sooooo much trouble. As you've probably realized, your current 'Kiet' isn't 'your' Kiet. I've been working with Scott to add to the confusion by posting pseudo-Kiet's actions as if they were really mine. HOPEFULLY it worked to make this shifter really seem like the real Kiet. But now you know why he was acting rather erratically. Just out of curiosity, who was fooled? Bid anybody figure out ' Kiet' was a shifter? Next question...WHEN did Kiet get hijacked...? Where is the REAL Kiet...? Will any of us get out alive...? Dorhak AND Kell...? Dead so quickly an no chance to save them... ? This sucks. Killing the newbies so quickly is rough, but Kell is a friend of Kiet's. Is there anything any of you can do for either or both of them? Not so sure that bringing back Mae is a good idea... GM: Ack. Yep. You did a great job. I'm really surprised no one figured it out? The lava/gear stuff going tot he gear pile? Kinda obvious to me. :) Course I'm the director and have the script. As to the gear lost this was not David's idea. We together randomly rolled based on items around Fake-Kiet. Then he just used that results It was not personal. Just how the bad guys think. Hopefully real Kiet isn't in the lava! Kell is not a newbie and he may die. :< From Mae: [Re: Actions] 'Daemynore' Maelorna blinked as she heard a name that ... GM: Ack. This is great rp stuff. Creative. But sadly a bit premature. The spirit would not have escaped as this is a prison world and thus....good stuff though. I had tried to skype with you on this but not online. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Febris 9th, 1635TH] [Time: 5:01 pm] [Unknown Location] [Audience Room - Current room] [Phase 9] Z'leyra hopes to cast a dispel upon her smelling curse. Fremea prepares mana for a fascination spell. It seems Mae did well so figure a slave would do nicely. Z'leyra gestures and realizes the smell from her hands is very bad. She speaks the words to cast a dispel on herself. But then she realizes this is not a Negate Curse and it does nothing but sound like pretty words. Fremea waves and gestures at the bull-shifter and casts her fascination spell. Sadly the shifter's magical defense together with the plane they are on causes her to fail. Fremea shakes the daze from her mind and takes to the air she circles the shifter once and twice then hovering behind it stabs the thing's back. But the thick hide of the shifter blocks most damage and she only does 4 points of damage. Unali charges toward shifter #3 which just dwarf tossed Dorhak out the window. She rushes hoping to push the shifter out at the same time but the bulk of the shifter is too immense and its like shoving a wall. 'Daemynore' Maelorna blinked as she heard a name that she couldn't resist. How she got here, she wasn't sure, but one moment she was watching her pet get ready to tear into her meal, to finish it off. Now? Maelorna found herself in a gothic cathedral, the center of which a bed had been set in the center. The black and red satin sheets undulated from the bodies underneath as moans could be heard like a perverse chorus. Lounging atop the sheets, a succubus flexed her bejeweled wing, revealing the cream coloured flesh of perfection. Maelorna felt the danger and tried to back up, but found she was unable to tear her gaze from the succubus, who's terrible beauty filling her mind, nothing else would ever compare. The succubus's long black tresses fell down her back and framed her pale white face, while crimson eyes regarded Maelorna with a playful promise. 'Daeymenore' the voice sounded from everywhere. Maelorna felt her true name holding her firm. Her human side wailed in terror as she knew who she beheld, the utterance of her name held her as surely as any bondage. 'We see Our influence has taken hold.' as the succubus giggled playfully. 'Do we find you lacking?' the voice regarded Maelorna and laughter sounded from everywhere. 'Nay, like all our daughters, we can read the chaos in your essence and hunger in your eyes. Little Daemynore, why are you here amongst your sisters?' it asked her, Maelorna couldn't answer, she had little understanding just where here was. 'Shall we give you another chance? The mortals may help or hinder, but little Daemynore, delight is ours in seeing you again, but you are not ready to truly join your sisters.' Then reality sinks in as the released spirit of Mae flies in and out of walls and caves. The dream to head to the higher planes is not allowed it seems as this realm is a prison and leaving it that way would not be possible. She may be a spirit in this realm forever. Never to get to the higher courts but only in her dreams. She flies through caves of hundreds of shifters. She pities the mortals who will have to deal with them. Then Mae's spirit which seems to have taken seconds or years emerges outside. The landscape all around is lava and badlands. The sky so hazy and gloomy. Then she glances right and sees a small figure falling from the sky. She flies toward it and sees it is the dwarf. she is amazed he lands on his shield. Then bam a rock hits his head and he falls backwards. Mae hovers over the doomed dwarf. She reaches out and tries to grab the dwarf but she is in spirit form. A slight cackle slips her ethereal mouth. Shifter #3 turns to face Fuk and Unali. He then grabs Fuk and twists and throws Fuk out the window. Fuk tries to twist his sword to use as a brace on the window but it just causes the stone to break and part of the wall around the window to be thrown out with him. Fake-Kiet-Shifter reaches out with a spare arm and stabs Pyan in the back. Then turns to Arawn and looks down at the Cryx. Smiling he forms a small hole around it so the orb does not touch his flesh. Shifter #2 turns toward Fremea and with two new arms grabs the wings and with a third arm punches right at her head while holding her wings. The force of the blow is enough to do 6 points to her head jerking it backwards. Fremea goes limp and the shifter drops her to the ground. Zin continues to 'merge' with the unconsciousness Mae. Red hair begins to form on top of Zin's head. Zin's skin seems to take on the sheen of Mae as both merge. Arawn claws at Fake-Kiet as the shifter has his throat in a choke hole. Knowing the strength is not on his side he decides to do a move he saw Unali do. Using his body he lifts his legs and with both legs kicks the shifter right in the chest. At the same instant the shifter loses his grip and Arawn falls to the ground. Mournath sees Unali and rushes to help her. HE thrusts his spear at shifter #3 but the action is wild and he misses. Z'leyra grips her great sword forgetting it is not her staff and wonders why the metal smells like dwarf boots? Fuk falls out the window and begins a line of verbal profanities that would make Mae blush. Then he sees a sinking Dorhak below. If only he could land on him and bounce off the side. There is a chance! Pyan falls to his knees from the backstab and feels cold from the wound. Suddenly from the open threshold to the west a shifter and a person that looks just like Kiet enters. It does look like Kiet? Dorhak looks up to see Mae. What is she doing here? Why is she fully naked and very thin. No wait. She has no body? Dorhak tries to grab her arm but his fingers slip through. What is this about! Then Dorhak looks up and sees another person. No its that constable fellow. Maybe he can help! No. Wait he is falling right for him! Dorhak begins to feel the burn of the lava on his back as his skin melts. Fuk falls right through Mae's spirit and lands onto Dorhak forcing him into the lava deeper to his doom. Fuk fish tails and leaps off the dwarf's stomach to the ground only 3 feet away. He makes it! But his arms begin to swing as he tries to gain his balance. Dorhak yells a final curse as he falls under the lava. But the impact from Fuk's leap causes lava to spout upwards. As Fuk kneels and laughs he feels a glob of lava hit the back of his neck. Z'layha watches as Zin has his fun. This is not a good way to die. The shaman creeps toward Zin. [Phase 10] Kiet sees a shifter doing something to a thing holding a shiny ball. Not seeing Arawn he does notice the shifter has his other ring. He also looks just like him! Raising his arm he fires his flame right at the shifter. The smokeless flame hits fake-Kiet and begins to burn the shifter. The flames quickly do 22 points of damage but the shifter still stands! Z'leyra has a odd sensation . the smells are now oddly conveying thoughts? She can feel the thoughts of Mae. Did she just threaten her sister? Maybe the Abysmal had a every worse effect then this smell nonsense. Grabbing her great sword she charges toward Mae. " You, Dare, To, Threaten, MY, SISTER!!!" Z'leyra towers over Mae and raises her great magical sword. Time to cut the head off of this beast! But no the smell of Zin and the merging is distracting. She lowers the boom and misses! How could she miss. She growls at Zin and wishes Mae got her bath indeed! Mae turns to watch Fuk. This is a odd turn of events. She watches as lava drips down the back of Fuk's shirt and begins to catch on fire. It almost reminds her of a a nice torture session or as some call it a sex torture dungeon. Unali wished she had her second dagger. She stabs Shifter #3 doing 10 points of damage to his chest. Shifter #3 ignores Unali and touches Mournath. In the time between eye blinks he learns Mournath has been frozen twice in the last few weeks. The shifter figures why not change that patter. With a hand now in the shape of a needle it punctures Mournath's neck and fills the sailor with bits of himself to paralyze the man. Shifter #2 looks down at Fremea. Curious not having seen a Fae before he had hoped to play with her. But it is time to leave. So the shifter steps onto the head of Fremea smashing it. Shifter #5 sees Arawn and then glances to his new friend Kiet. "I no longer require you." With a new spear-hand he thrusts into the ribs of Kiet drawing 12 points of damage. Arawn stands and thrusts the Cryx toward the now burning shifter. Using his mental control he tries to convey to the orb to spread the burning and make his flesh harder to cope transmutating the skin. Fuk screams as the lava hits his back. It burns through his main artery and he reaches out to stop the bleeding but yells out again as the lava de-fleshes his hand. The pain is intense and he falls forward to the solid ground unconsciousness. Pyan notices Kell on the ground and doesn't want to be one of the dead. He tries to stand and seeing the shifter burning sees his chance. He stabs forward hoping to hit the shifter with his spear. But he makes contact with something invisible. Arawn yells out as he feels a spear ram his back. Arawn takes 16 points of damage. Arawn figures being invisible is not always wise! Kell with ebbing strength looks up to see Kiet now with a large gap in his ribs. Confused wasn't he behind him and just stabbed him? Kell glances back to see burning Kiet and shakes his head. This world is too weird and then feels blackness as the pain takes him out. Kiet looks to Kell-Shifter. The one who seemed to have been his friend. He then sees Kell on the ground almost dead or close to it. He smiles at least as the burning doppelganger burns. Then he sags to his knees from the damage and grabs his side. He then recalls the sword he took and prepares to take on the traitor. Z'layha with dagger in hand gets to the side of Zin's 'head'. She then thrusts the dagger into the right 'eye'. Then forces it into Zin's probable brain. Zin screams and collapses onto of Mae. Mae's spirit then suddenly sees a hole open up in front of her. It sparkles. Could this be the great beyond? She flies toward the hole! Actions? Comments? Next Update.. Wednesday/ GM: Wow. Some bad times for the players. Maybe I made these shifters a tad too powerful? Who will live Who will die? Even I am unsure at this point. Stay tuned for the next update.
