[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 250655, member: 1025"] From: Piratecat To: Arcade Deltarion RE: identifying those magic items Ummm.. you aren't going to like me anymore. See, when you tried to identify the Toadhead's bracers..ummm..well, you learned that they were called Bracers of Wild Defense, and then the spell went all RANDOM and coils of magic ripped out of the bracers as they interacted with the identify spell, and you avoided most of them except for the transmutation coil, but..errr.. Oh damn. Okay. You've just been polymorphed into an intelligent axebeak. Sorry. I'm sure someone will feed you if you make enough noise. ------------------------------ From: Piratecat To: Velendo of Calphas Nyquil comes to your rooms at the Golden Owl, and tells you to come quickly because Arcade needs your help. Behind his door you hear an odd squawking. In the room is a 4' tall, large-beaked, flightless bird with a huge beak. It is sitting in front of a pile of magical paraphernalia (two bracers on top) looking anguished and embarrassed. It is half-wearing Arcade's favorite tunic, although the pants have fallen off. The beak looks really sharp. Now the bird just looks disgusted. You notice that its eyes (Arcade's eyes!) are glaring, just daring one of you to say something. . ---------------------- Velendo looks at Nyquil. "You woke me up for *this?* He turns back to Arcade.. "That's good. Nice beak...goes well with the tunic. Good night." He leaves. From: Nolin Benhome To: Piratecat, Arcade Deltarion >Nyquil comes to your rooms at the Golden Owl, and tells you to come >quickly because Arcade needs your help. Behind his door you hear an odd >squawking. . . . Nolin's first comment is, of course, "Oh, a new species of bird. I must fetch Tao." I stay out of pecking range. "Arcade? I presume that's you and that you have not been slaughtered and replaced by this bird. Slap your little webby feet once for yes and twice for no. Is that you?" Slap "Do you want me to get you out of this form?" Slap (glare) "Shall I move you out of that pile of magical items and cast Dispel Magic?" Slap. "Unfortunately, I haven't memorized it today. I'll get Tao to tell me what your type of bird like to eat, and we'll keep you comfortable for the next 8-9 hours." Frantic slapping, attempted pecking. Nyquil faints. "Only kidding, old man. Hold on a moment while I move this stuff. Or would you prefer me to go get Cambion?" Slap Slap Nolin lifts the flightless waterfoul out of the pile of magic items and onto the bed (notice the new, bulging muscles). He then casts Dispel Magic on Arcade "the Penguin Bringer" Deltarion, currently very formally dressed in Tuxedo and Eau de Fish. This ought to keep me in stories for years. I wonder if I can get penguin slippers? From: Piratecat: Actually, he's an Axebeak. But it’s still really funny. [/QUOTE]
