IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

Uulark Simental, Cleric6

Uulark evidently has something in common with the kobolds at the moment, because he finds himself and sixes and sevens, uncertain whether to scratch his butt or wind his sundial. So, he anxiously holds his spear, in case another kobold decides to commit suicide on it.

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

"Cowardly wrestlers and goo critters that won't die and now kobolds that just want to..." Shai mutters, veins bulging on his neck. His voice, too, is growing noticably rougher and lower. He grinds his teeth as he clenches his fists, red-rimmed eyes looking to the unmoving kobold masses.

"If you don't want to help--" there's a noticable cracking sound, as if bones were snapping--"then just...go--" the snapping quickens, and Shai's clothing begins to waver, his flesh to bubble, and he scratches feverishly at his chest--"AWAY!"

The last word is barely understandable, both for the changes in the man's voice and the growing sound of snapping and tearing. Even as he finishes it, his scratching hands seem to dig into his own chest, tearing away his outer form as if it were only so much flimsy paper--flash paper, as the outer shell seems to disappear even as a beast erupts from underneath it.

Where Shaimon Hu'u had been now stands a black bear, roaring its frustrations at the kobolds, slobber falling from its open, fanged jaws. It stands on its hind legs, roaring again, then falls to all fours, a low growl emanating from it, muscles tensed but not charging. For now.

((OOC: And there we have Shai's first wild shape. ;) ))
 

Uulark Simental, Cleric6

Seeing Shai's totally unexpected transformation, it takes every single ounce of Uulark's concentration and effort just to maintain his continence. :)
 

Waiting under the cover of shadow, Buurt maintains his readiness to fire upon foe, perceived or not. However, when Shai transforms, the half-orc mutters to himself, "What's next, someone farting butterflies?"
 

Upon seeing the roaring bear where the large human had once been, the majority of the kobolds turn again and flee into the darkness; only three remain, seemingly frozen in their steps.

[sblock=jkason]I've added to your experience points for your last post. Some most impressive visual qualities there... nice job indeed![/sblock]
 

"AHH!" Shazi yelps. "He's a demon! Save me!" The mephit dives behind Talashia and peeks out from around her skirt.

Talashia herself shrinks back instinctively from Shai's display, one hand coming up in an instinctive defensive gesture to shield her face. When the bear doesn't seem to be attacking she hesitates and asks, "Shai? ...is that you?"

[sblock=IG]Thanks! I've been pondering how I wanted Shai's wildshape to work / look. Tried to come up with something interesting that also played a little into the creepy vibe of the chaos beasties and that room with the hanging bodies et al. Glad ya liked it. :) [/sblock]

As the kobolds flee, the bear snorts, sitting on his haunches.

The bear turns his head to the sorceress and makes a bleating sound, though he clamps his mouth shut in the middle of it and instead gives a pronounced nod of his head.

Apparently convinced he's answered the question, bear-Shai sneezes, hops up, and lopes over to where Dyspeer is holding the wrestling caster to the ground, looking over his shoulder halfway there to see if the others are following.

When the big, scary bear started to lope off, Uulark at first breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when the bear looked back expectantly, he hesitantly began to head that way. "Uhh, we're ALL going, rignt?"
 


Rogash

The dwarf scratches his chin as he ponders the transformative display. "Damn, I'm glad he's on our side. Now let's see if we can get some answers."

He makes his way to Dysper's prisoner.

"Talk fast and you might still catch that boat of yours."
