TURTLEDOME!: Battle Bone (DM: KenHood, Judge: Lord S.)

[Reklaw]

Drivan lets out a slight yelp as his arm is pulled into the old man's ear canal and he becomes stuck in a rather awkward position...

There is a slightly panicky tone to Drivan's voice as he says, "There's something in here... and it's sniffing my hand..."

Drivan contemplates unleashing a barrage of magic missiles but he quickly changes his mind.

"I believe the old man is talking about rats in his mind... or in this micro-dimension that is his mind..."

Drivan slowly and cautiously feels around with his hand, feeling for a firm handhold to see if he might perhaps be able to pull the rest of his body through this old man's ear canal...

 

[Atanatotatos]

Hadarai springs forward reflexively, grabbing Drivan's vest with his shield hand, and start pulling: Quick! Pull him out of whatever the hell he's being sucked in!!

 

[Reklaw]

[sblock=OOC]I'm trying to pull myself in right now Whatever the issue is it lies within here rather than the house[/sblock]

 

[Atanatotatos]

ooc: erm... sorry, I tried to act reasonably accordingly to what Hadarai sees. I mean, what would you do?
I won't get in the way if you pursue this course of action.

 

[KenHood]

[sblock=Drivan]With your hand, you feel a dry, hard, irregular surface reminiscent of papier mache.[/sblock]

As Hadarai tugs on Drivan, something on the 'other side' tugs back.

'RATS!'

With a *pop*, Swillwort's ear sucks in the entirety of Drivan's body. Now, Hadarai finds himself up to his elbows in the old man.

'What the ****!' shouts the little boy.

Annie screams.

'Watch your language!' shouts the grandfather, swatting his grandson on the rump with shaft of an arrow.

'They just want to be left alone.'

Some force pulls against Hadarai, dragging him further into the ear canal.

[sblock=Drivan]You are lying on a slope. You cannot see the roof or nearby walls. Behind you, you see light pouring through a large hole, through which extends Hadarai's hands, now grasping your ankles. Some sort of waxy build-up and large tendrils (hair?) surrounds the hole. Ahead of you, you hear something scurrying away into darkness. It mutters obscenities with casual disregard. Its voice sounds like the rustle of fallen leaves.[/sblock]

 

[Atanatotatos]

Palladys watch over me, DAMNIT!! yells Hadarai, seeing the impossible view in front of him as he stops pulling, and instead shifts his weight forward to follow Drivan.

 

[KenHood]

*FWOOP!*

Hadarai vanishes. Only the warlord's feet dangle--impossibly--from Swillwort's ear.

[sblock=Hadarai]You can now see the same thing as Drivan, so go ahead and read his sblocks.[/sblock]

Annie screams, then faints.

"*****! ****** ****** ******!" shouts the grandson.

"That's it!" shouts the grandpa, snatching the boy by the ear and marching away, "I'm washing your mouth out with soap! You orcs don't run away until I get back!"

 

[Reklaw]

[sblock=Hadari]Drivan turns towards Hadari, grasping his hand to tug him the rest of the way into the strange ear canal.

"I believe we've located the rat infestation... Shall we follow that strange string of obscenities?"[/sblock]

 

[Atanatotatos]

[sblock=DM, Reklaw]Hadarai falls in, and quickly gets up, sword firmly gripped, shield ready. He turns around carefully a couple of times to be sure no immediate threat is there, the he answers Drivan: This... doesn't really seem right, to speak euphemistically. Do you have a piece of paper and a pen with you?

ooc:the intention here is to wite on a piece of paper "we're fine, come in here to help us" or something along those lines, make it into a ball, and toss it through the hole we entered from, hoping it gets larger the same way we got "smaller" and the rest of the party can read it[/sblock]

 

[Reklaw]

[sblock=DM, Hadarai]Drivan rummages through his backpack, "I don't have any pen and paper in here but perhaps I could send a message to our companions?"


Drivan mutters a few words under his breath and makes a tossing motion with his left hand. An orb of light floats up, stopping about fifteen feet in the air.

ooc: Can I send a ghost sound out the ear hole to our companions? Or perhaps use a piece of paper from my spellbook? Also, does that light follow me or is it stationary or is that a choice?[/sblock]
