[D&D 4e] IG's "Those Left Behind, Chapter 4" [OOC]

[Scott DeWar]

*salute!*

IG, I got Uulark all finished up now, L11 power and Paragon Path chosen. (Divine Oracle.) Oh, and upon some further reading, I changed his deity from Ioun to Sehanine. Seemed to be a much better fit with his personality. This also necessitated a change of a L1 power, from Ioun's Pose to Sehanine's Reversal, and he is Unaligned, which fits with the way he was before, pretty much.

Shaken out of his reverie by the air mephit's enjoinder, Shai tries to pry his way out of the rubble. He finds his legs pinned, though as yet uncrushed. He pushes at the large rock, precariously-balanced as it is, but to no avail. His breath quickens, eyes growing slightly bloodshot, as he tries to call upon the rage-fueled strength he's known for so long, but nothing comes, and he falls back, exhausted.

Dyspeer, meanwhile, manages to wriggle his way free, shaking his whole body after, momentarily engulfed in the cloud of granite dust he throws off. The wolf picks his way through the rubble to lick Shai's face even as he reaches the point of exhaustion.

The large man smiles, patting the wolf on the head, then nods, as if they've just had a conversation. Then, without warning, he stiffens, convulsing, mouth opening wide, wider than his jaws should allow, as if they're hinged. And out from the opening crawls a large python, working its way out as the man's skin pales and shrivels. When it's finally escaped the body, there is nothing left but a translucent skin of the man, which is already wasting into nothing.

Dyspeer sits, cocking his head to one side to study the large, coiled snake. Then, with the briefest hiss, the snake's head lolls, eyes glazing. A hand comes out from its center, and as the reptilian coil swells and shudders, Shai climbs out from the center as if exiting a hole. Then the snake, like Shai's body before it, pales, withers, and dissipates.

Dyspeer moves to Shai's side, licking his hand. Shai roughs up the fur on his wolf's head, then looks around to see if anyone else needs help freeing themselves from the rubble.

dude, that is twisted! I wish I could have given you an exp for that!

I took care of him for you, DeWar. (And gave you the credit.)

Excellent. You'll notice that I quit asking and went ahead and started. I figured you'd get him wrapped up pretty quickly afterward. It's good to know that my evil plan worked.

Yes, excellent imagery and brilliant prose. THAT is what I want this game to be about. Which is why I asked once, a long time ago, if Shayuri would be interested in chronicling this game for us. I'd love to be able to read it all from a singe narrator's perspective. But you can see how far that got me.

Sure, Boss, had absoltely NOTHING to do with the fact that this is the first free day I've had since the switch was announced!
