[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 586244, member: 1210"] [b]Old Enemies[/b] "It's [i]you guys,[/i]" the celestial growls at Sheva and Angel. For an uncomfortable moment the air thickens with the threat of violence, then Alcar spots Lester. "Lester!" he says. "Hey, Alcar," the L smiles back. "What are you doing here? You know these guys? You still got that backpack?" Alcar frowns. "No, I'm trying to get it back... that's why I'm hear, to break the curse of Bile Mountain. And, yes, I know these ones!" He gestures angrily at Angel, Sheva and the Mayor. "He attacked us before," Angel says grimly. His flaming falchion is in his flaming hand. "Guys, guys," says Lester, "there's no need to fight!" "Yes," interjects the Mayor. "It seems that we might be able to help each other this time. We aren't at cross purposes or anything." "What are you doing here?" "We're looking for someone," Sheva says. She's frowning. "Don't double-cross us," Angel warns menacingly. "Hey, he's an angel, he can't double-cross us," says the L. He smiles. "Me and Alcar go way back." There's another moment of tension, then Alcar turns to study the crack that leads into the mountain. It's a jagged rent, about 30' across and 15' high. Water flows swiftly in through the gap. He beats his wings and alights, then starts winging his way in to the mountain's interior. The party scrambles to fly, spider climb and water walk after him. The stench of the bile wafts from all around them as they enter the passage. The walls seem to sweat beads of the foul yellow fluid. They move into the mountain for several moments, then emerge in a huge chamber. The entire thing is full of murky bile; the clean water mixes in with it visibly. The cave is full of wisps of yellow vapor. There is an evil smell that pervades everywhere, and the ceiling is bare of stalactites or ornamentation. Along one wall, a narrow staircase ascends through a hole in the ceiling. Alcar flies up towards it, intending to wing his way through it, but there's a sudden quiver of movement. Something yellow-grey and fluid oozes along the wall- and before he can react, it vomits a stream of bile at him! The stream bursts when it hits him, yellowish spray splashing the wall and stairs.... [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] Look, it's the Bile Monster template! Will Alcar and the party continue to get along? How long until they fight pc to pc? Stay tuned- the answers are coming! [/QUOTE]
