BLACK CRATER

[Tom Cashel]

Wisp flies back down and perches on your shoulder, Lucius.

The Tall Bearded-one just crawled out of that flying beast's nest. He is prowling around the Nexus Room right now.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

"Excellent, Wisp! Would you please invite him to come join us?"

Tosses him a rat's tail

"That's my last of those, old friend, but I'll get you much more very soon. You've done well."

"Hey Dalabrak! He's back!"

 

[Tom Cashel]

Wisp snaps up the tail.

Of course, Tall Magic-one.

He flies to the top of the building and lands on the wall.

 

[Tom Cashel]

You see an ape climb down the outside of the Nexus building.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

OOC: Ah, an ape! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Oh wait, can't cast that spell.

I'll wave the ape over, in the hopes that it just might be our druid friend.

"Hey kids! Want to see a big ape?"

 

[Roman Gemmalee]

I scamper over to Lucius (still in Ape form!) and jump about, beating my chest and curling my lips into an ape smile. I quickly climb up into the branches of a neighboring spruce and I start to change into my human form after I am sure I am stable.
Then I say, wow am I glad to see you! You won't believe where I have been. Where is Dalabrac and the kids (if I don't see them).

 

[Van Dyksun]

(visible)

I don't think you're that close, but then my mind's eye pictures these things differently sometimes.

Nevermind...I read the description now in the other thread.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

OOC: Kicking Van's body "Quiet you!"

"Artimus! So glad to see you! Tell me, where were you? What happened?"

OOC: Keith -- at the speed you type, maybe you should tell Matt to just post the link to your thread. Buit maybe give the gist of it.

"Dalabrak and the kids are right here. Sadly, so are the bodies of our fallen comrades. But sit and we'll talk... and figure our next move. A huge griffin has been flying about, so we may want to get out of here sooner rather than later."

"I've been thinking about the power of reincarnation that druids often have. What do you think? Perhaps you should use the "Speak with Van" scroll before you cast the spell to ask him."

Edit: Right ... Roman's dead...

 

[Tom Cashel]

(Ignore those ghostly whispers! )

Artemus, you scamper the 80 feet quickly, beating your chest. The kids rush out and scream in terror and delight. An ape! They've never seen the like before. Dalabrac is here as well.

Their screams and laughter echo up into the alpine valley...

...and sound like keening cries when they return. Strange. None of the children notice, though. They love the ape, and they are scared of it, and that's fun for them.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

"Kids! Be quiet now ... and hide."

"I think our friend is returning. I'd advise standing back and letting me take care of it. Now where is that scroll?"

Fumbles through his backpack

"Ah! That should do it. Come on, ye beastie and face me!"

OOC: Matt, I know you don't want to do combat on the boards ... but if you can roll a save for the Griffin, there might be no need...
