[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7574330, member: 6688277"] And with that, the [I]followers[/I] of lowkey13 fall in behind and to the side of him shouting "D&D had been voted the best game" and "Death to Paladins". The mob led by a grinning lowkey13 then suddenly begins descending on a tight group of travellers led by one known only as Pemerton. As the mob gets closer to the travellers, S'mon steals some more Pemertonian Scene Framing, while under his breath he mutters "I hope to see you again, friend," before disappearing from the scene altogether. Ovinomancer packs up both his tents, his trick cards and his blocks before he too departs all the while shaking his head and thinking "This isn't real, this isn't real." Aldarc offended by it all makes his protestations known. "This is not right, not morally, not ethically, I demand social..." his voice is drowned out from the growing mob. At that point AbdulAlhazred turns to Pemerton saying "I never asked for this Pem, all I wanted was a piece of land to build on. Not this. You have to do something." But Pemerton seems unperturbed as he begins picking up numerous backpacks fully loaded with dictionaries, encyclopedias, manuals, guides, handbooks and the like which he has written over the years. Impressively he seems to carry them all easily enough while moving unhindered. Lanefan meanwhile loses his spellbook as it is bumped out of his hands by frantic Maxperson rushing past him. Lanefan makes an attempt to save his arcane tome from the shuffling feet, but the mob is too much and the tome is trampled and torn in the process. He sighs inwardly, but thankfully he prepared for this eventuality as he pulls out his backup spellbook. Maxperson runs ahead charging off from the mob directly towards Pemerton smiling that his dream is finally being realised. The player of Maxperson pants from exhaustion. chaochou, now a mad look upon his eyes, cries out wildly "They want to play, we will show them how players play! We will raise the stakes, we will not backdown, there will be NO SAY NO!" Meanwhile Manbearcat rushes out to the centre, holding out his hands for both camps to stop the madness. But no one seems to be taking any heed. Why is that he thinks to himself, why can't people just be nice, it's like no one read his analytical self-help posters. At this point Numidius wakes up from all the noise, but declines to leave the comfort of the warm waters of the bathtub. He reaches for a stack of arrows which are casually lying around, and throws them in the general direction of Maxperson. Maxperson laughs at the feeble throw. The player of Maxperson laughs. Bedrockgames excited by it all, makes a quick call "Hello Mother," Lanefan hears him say, the rest of the conversation is lost, except for the end, "But mother I want to join them." The call ends, Bedrockgames physically disappointed looks up at Lanefan and shakes his head in a no-fashion before leaving lowkey13's crowd. Sadras still keeping up with the mob begins reading up on these travellers, learning about them and their capabilities. As he turns the pages, he notices two that are stuck together. "What is this," he exclaims, "a secret page?" He finally manages to pry apart the pages to reveal the traveller known as Pemerton...when he reaches the traveller's backstory, his eyes open wide. "It's a t..." In the midst of all this chaos, a large space vessel lands, the words [I]Umbran[/I] adorning its one side. A large staircase descends towards the ground as a man walks out introducing himself as Morrus, the General. Hussar turns to lowkey13 and says rather angrily "If he's from Sigil," pointing at Morrus "then I'm out." Saelorn's player turns to Hussar's player "You can't say that, that is meta-gaming. No-way, no-how your character knows about Sigil." He then turns to the DM for support. The DM who strictly follows SYRTD makes the motion for Hussar's player to make a knowledge check. The player rolls a 1. Saelorn's player smiles. The DM instructs everyone to ignore the 1, as DM he is going to fudge it, so Hussar knew about Sigil. All the players leave the table except Max.
