Against the Storm: Luskan (Summoning shaff)

[DM_Matt]

OOC: lol ive got a good diversion if only i would have heard it..

Jonathan telepathically informs Rannos.

 

[shaff]

OOC: well isnt that convenient.


IC: Rannos mind speaks to Bollan and all of a sudden there are a series of screams and Rannos runs into the other room with his weapon drawn.

Anyone else who does so sees a big brown bear lumbering in. The bear goes to a corner, and begins to do.... tricks.

Rannos puts his sword away and goes and stands next to Bollan. "Do not worry folks, this is my old friend Bollan, he wont hurt u, he cant even kill his own food." Bollan whimpers and looks pathetic. Then he gets up and starts doing more tricks, such as hand stands, sitting, standing up on his back legs, standing on 1 leg, playing dead (with the help of rannos acting like he stabbed him), "speaking" (a soft growl). Rannos says if anyone wants to pet him they can.

Everyone around comes running, including a handful of very tall men made of steel and adamantite. Many people, particularly the tourists, are quite amused, but Sheuk leads the guards forward and says "What on earth are you doing!?! Cease at once and leave this place!"



Everyone takes advantage of the diversion to get away.

Margaret moves to the wall, and presses on it in various places. The wall moves back and slides aside, leading to a circular room. There are two circular levelers in the ground, each with a hand hold. M points to th one on the left "Use that one. The other one is a decoy that fills the room and fills it with poison gas. Expect more traps like that downstairs. Good luck. This injustice cannot continue."

"I appoligize, my good friend here came looking for me, i forgot him at home, and he gets o so lonely. Is there any way at all we could stay, im still very interested in some of your trinkets."

All the while they are talking, Rannos mind speaks to Bollan and tells him to continue the tricks. Bollan does summersaults, and licks everyone who comes up to pet him.

 

[DM_Matt]

Sorry about my delays. Some old players just all simultaneously returned, leaving me to retool some stuff and deal with a time gap. My post frequency will increase shortly.

 

[Calim]

Using the distraction provided Ravin reaches out and grabs the lever.

 

[DM_Matt]

The others join Ravin in the elevator. You hear a voice comign form the hall saying "WAIT!"

(You guys are going to be joined by some others. I might need you to wait a little so that they can join you here.)

 

[DM_Matt]

Thydin, one of his men, a huge half-orc, and what appears to be an elven mage run down the hallway towards the elevator.

Rannos: How are you going to get downstairs.

[This thread is now for: Tanstaafl, Calim, shaff, reaspersaurus, and GoldenEagle. dead_radish still is to use the other thread for now]

 

[shaff]

Rannos has no plan to get downstairs yet, he was planning on stalling as long as possible, then when when he can stall no longer, he will think of something else to do...

The platform rotates down slowly, apparently acting like a screw in a rifled shaft. It eventually moves into a room about 30 feet more in diameter than its own 40 feet, and it comes to rest in a depression in the floor. There are four steel doors spread out evenly around the room, labled "Information," "Mechabiology," Factory," and "Development."
