[AU] Stone Bones

Atlas

*Atlas lays a restraining hand on Dar's shoulder, and says "Have paitence my friend. Let us communicate and learn before we act." Turining to sprite, "please continue."

 

[Rybaer]

(ooc - apologies for not posting recently...been very busy and will be going out of state early tomorrow morning for a few days.)

Leesea will happily take custody of the magical spryte-sized dagger.

As for the earth spirit, she will assume a non-aggressive stance. She'll let Dak take the lead on speaking with it, given his connection to the spirit world.

 

[Ashy]

Darthallys lowers the point of his blade, but keeps a wary eye on the eyed wall and the wall of ooze...

 

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet is clearly startled by Dak's actions, but simply considers for a second, then watches the elemental.* "Spirit, this slime troubles you?"

 

[Erekose13]

Following Dak's lead, Phaern will summon a minor elemental as well. He chooses one more appropriate to his nature, an Air Elemental and sends it to attack the ooze. "Hopefully these little guys will be able to get in there. I dont want to be grabbed by anything else today, thank you very much. I dont think that being stuck to that big slime wall like a fly in a spiders web would be very fun now would it."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Kelthet is clearly startled by Dak's actions, but simply considers for a second, then watches the elemental.* "Spirit, this slime troubles you?"

*As Kelthet watches, the various elemental attack the wall with fury, burning and blowing holes through it. The ooze drops down upon them, but seems to have no effect upon them. The whispering on the other side of the ooze intensifies, though somewhat muffled, Will, Darthallys, Leesea, and Atlas recognize the harsh strains of Undercommon.*

*Phaerns hears the whispering in ear from Tonguesinger, the whispering from the other side of the ooze-wall suddenly coming into the fore of the things he hears. It becomes as clear to him as the Faen tongue.*

All those who understand Undercommon hear the following:

"Be ready, they'll break through soon." "Careful, they've awakened something..." "We will easily be able to speak to them, they will not know us..."

*Kelthet, the spirit's eyes lock onto yours as it responds.*

"FEAR NOT THE THINGS OF THE NATURAL WORLD. FEAR THOSE THINGS THAT ARE UNNATURAL. BEWARE, THEY COME, AND TIME FLIES. THE BONES ARE BREAKING," the spirit thunders.

 

[Ashy]

Darthallys, hearing the voices from beyond the wall, accompanied with the words of the eye-wall, raises his blade again. He looks to Atlas with a questioning look, "Now should I prepare for battle?" he quips, his sarcastic tone dripping with acid...

 

[dead_radish]

*Once again, Kelthet turns to Dak and Leesa* "This is, I think, out of my balliwick." *He gestures in the direction of the slimewall with his greatsword, which seems to have sprung fully formed in to his hands.* "That's my balliwick. Come on, Dar. There's stuff to do."

*As he does so, he pulls from his witchbag a small strip of tanned leather, which he swallows quickly with a grimace, and then a small charcoal stick, which he uses to quickly and ritually paint his face* (OOC: Lesser Beastskin and Cloak of Darkness)

 

[Ashy]

"Excellent..." Darthallys growls, drawing Athame and slipping the mirrored scimitar into his belt. He, too, swallows a small witchbag and then prepares himself for battle...

OOC: Lesser Beastskin

[ooc: does Dak know what the green slime is? Is it Green Slime? Is it natural--how does it come up on the Nature Sense radar?]

As Kelthet blows past, Dak tries to catch his eye and makes a grab for his knife.

Turning back to the huge eyes, he says "Um...uhm...beggin' your pardon, Mister Spir't, but, ah, could you jess tell me wot you wont us to do right here and now? Izzat slime botherin' you? Cause, ah, we gone kill it."
