::XianXian still a bit frightened, looks up at Sexodus and crawls, on her knees, into his palm, and then holds onto his thumb....::

Bob Biter · 12-11-2003, 02:48 PM

"Hmmm... so you're an assassin then? Well, I guess you will be most useful here. Do you have any means of dispatching undead creatures. You see, this is the kind of adversary we have been fighting most of the time here, aside from our unfortunate friend who was possessed..."

Vinoh turned once again to Attrah's remains, a sense of powerless rage growing in him. They were getting picked off one by one. Sure, new people were joining them, but were they as dedicated to the cause as he and the rest of the originals were?

Looking at Sexodus fingering the scar on his chest, the mind mage got some semblance of an answer. Turning back to James, he eyes him appraisingly.

"As for my scanning of your aura, you'll understand that it's hard to get straight answers here. So, what does an assassin, if that is what you are, want with the Tomb of Velix? Honestly?"

MSD · 12-11-2003, 10:02 PM

Without so much as a blink or facial expression, James responds to Vinoh's question

"Why would an assassin come to the Tomb of Velix? I have been sent to see that the creature who attacked my homeland shall not return to cause us more harm. That is what I was sent to do, I will accomplish the task or die trying. I hope for my sake and for the people of my homeland that the latter is not the result."

Discarding the stern, serious expression, James returns to his less serious and more informal mannerisms.

"You also asked about my methods of dealing with the undead. In my experience, they quite vlunerable to fire, and I have come prepared."

Reaching into his bag, Jmes retrieves a small flask of oil. He applies a small amount to a wooden strip along the dull edge of his shortsword. Placing the flask back into the bag, he takes some flint and steel, and ignites the oil. He makes a few swings and stabs into the air, then allows the fire to burn itself out before sheathing the sword. He shows a bit of a smile as he speaks again, in an amused, almost joking tone of voice.

"I also find that almost anything will stop moving if you cut it into enough pieces."

GoldenOuroboros · 12-12-2003, 12:27 AM

Darghon sighs as Attrah flames extinguish and there is nothing left of him other than his sheild and sword.. 'would they be safe to touch?' he wonders to himself.. 'No I best not..'

Hearing the footsteps he hides in the shadow crouching low to the ground seeing the new comer in the doorway, he raises an eyebrow and wanders steathly as possible over to where sexodus is now standing.

Darghon standing up on his hind legs whispers in Sexodus's ear.. "Stand still.. I'll accellerate your healing for that wound of yours.." And with that he concentrates and uses his psychic power of Increases Healing (Doubles ones recouperative rate).

Now slinking under that table he watches the newcomer.. raising an eyebrow.. he notices the jerky Darghon grins, licking his lips, he wanders over and sits up in front of 'James' as he seems to call himself watching the jerky go from the bag into his mouth.. listening to the conversation that is goin on between the three warriors..

Beltruckus · 12-12-2003, 10:18 AM

Sitting against the wall resting after the grim business of cremating Attrah, he listens to james as he explains how he will dispatch the undead in the cursed place. He begins speaking after the sword is no longer ignited.

"Be wary james, Vinoh and I encountered some undead that seemed almost immune to fire. Also if you want to save the oil... and time I can just enchant your weapon to burst into flames while fighting.. no harm will come to your blade and the flames will not die till the time is ready."

Looking back at Attrah's remains Kentelos says.

"Also does anyone have any sort of container we can put Attrahs ashes in. Personally I think we would be doing him a great diservice by leaving his remains in this cursed place."

Minx · 12-14-2003, 01:54 AM

"Some risks need to be taken my love..."

D'Aleen smiles mischeviously up at Thantos and releases his hand as he examines the shield given to him.

Hearing Kentelos' words she searches in the pouch at her side and after a moment withdraws a tiny, doe-skin pouch with intricate silver beading on it.

"Here Kentelos, if this will be sufficient you may have it for the ashes. It was a gift from my father, in case I discovered any new herbs I wanted to take back to show him......if I make it back to see him..."

Saddened by the thought of not seeing her father again D'Aleen wanders over to the table to get her mind off her father. Wondering if Krazixs has discovered anything about the other items that may be as much use to them as the ring that now lay innocently on her finger, she quietly approaches.

Sexodus · 12-14-2003, 06:42 PM

***Walking over to where Krazixs and D'Aleen

Do you mind if help you sort thru some of this stuff?

***Upon approvel Sexodus begins to search thru the items!

Minx · 12-14-2003, 08:49 PM

"Your help would be most welcome, my friend. Oh....and please, let's ask XianXian if she can shed any light on some of these treasures. She did live with them and their "master" for quite some time. She trusts you Sexodus, perhaps you can ask her."

And with a shy smile the elf goes back to her inspection and retrospection.

Cubby · 12-15-2003, 08:46 PM

When D'Aleen let's go of his hand, Thantos starts to examine the shield he has just been given. Looking at it in detail, checking out the bindings, engravings and feel. Thantos adjusts the straps so it fits better on his arm. He then pulls out some rope strands and figures out a way to strap the shield to his back pack in case he needs to shoulder it for a bit. After he's done that he moves over to one of the doors and keeps watch, talking back to James.

"So James. Did you see anything out there that would come in handy? Do you know where you are and how to get out of here? "

MSD · 12-15-2003, 09:29 PM

All I know is the way I came in. I shouldn't have a problem getting back out, but I didn't see anything that would be useful.

Minx · 12-15-2003, 10:09 PM

"We have a few options. We could explore the passageway that was revealed and still is open.....or go back the way we came.

I think we should examine this room thoroughly first, and then make the decision together."

Quietly speaking the words, D'Aleen casts her eyes about the room...watching the movements of her companions, both new and old. The urge to move on is a strong force pushing against her but the desire to seek what other treasures this room may hold is stronger. With a defiant toss of her long hair, the elf leans against the table and examines the blade given to her by Krazixs; while keeping an ear open for the conversation around her.

GoldenOuroboros · 12-16-2003, 04:11 AM

Darghon looks at the now open secret passage.. his tail flicking back and fro as he stands on his hind legs scratching his chin.. "D'Aleen.. I think that anything that was ment to be hidden from anyone.. or us for that matter.. would definetly need to be checked out" Darghon then looks at the trinkets on the table "But we would definetly need to be careful and on the look out for traps and other creepy crawlies.." Darghon goes back down on to all four of his claws.. "Tell me when you are finished sorting through the gold and I will put it back in my d-bag for ease of keeping.."

Darghon grinned.. resting his head on the table watching them sort the gold and keeping an ear trained on the conversation beside him..

rogue49 · 12-16-2003, 05:21 AM

* It seems as if all wielders of magic & mind have found all the "unique" items
within the collection Darghon had in his bountyful bags.
Although you do humorously notice Sexodus twitching his nose as he glances some of the bigger gems.

You are able to get most of Attrah's remains from the twisted set of his armor,
all that is left is his own sword, which for some uncanny reason he never went for during his rage.

The past immaculate room is now a in ruins,
The cot is destroyed, the desk mangled, weapons rack torn apart,
the ceiling is caked black with soot, and the floor is covered with blood and hordes of random items.

There is no noise around, except your own voices & movement.
Not from the passage & not from the ways you came. *

krazixs · 12-16-2003, 07:35 AM

Krazixs smiles. He must be really exhausted, the amount of energy he had to expel to reveal the identity of the two items in his hands, seemed enormous, but he felt it just meant he was tired. Grasping the two items in his hand, one amulet, and one scarab, Krazixs sinks down against the wall and closes his eyes.

"You guys go ahead and figure out which way to go, I need to rest for a bit. I'll tell you about these two things and we can decide who get's them in a second. Just give me a minute to rest. . . "

With that Krazixs closes his eyes and tries to let his mind rest to regain his strength.

Sexodus · 12-16-2003, 02:00 PM

***trying to break his eye hold on gems... He stands and looks to the others.

"I vote on a move thrugh the passage. We must press on, to put out the light of this evil. Backtracking will only take us longer!"

***Turning back to the table, he drops the last of the larger jewls back onto the table. walking towards the passage. He fianlly takes a sword and jams it into the door.

"There, now we shouldnt worry about it closing on us!"

Bob Biter · 12-16-2003, 02:58 PM

Turning to see Krazixs slump to the ground to rest, Vinoh secretly hopes one of the unknown items will help him, seeing as D'Aleen and Thantos got some pretty neat things. The elf now had her bow, the dagger and a ring; Thanots had his cape, Attrah's shield and maybe even his sword, if he wanted it. However, all would be revealed in due time...

With his telekinetic powers, Vinoh lifted Attrah's sword and gently sent it to the fighter.

"Since you have his shield, you might as well have his sword as well, unless you prefer your own."

Keeping the sword afloat until Thantos grabs it, the mind mage turns to answer Sexodus.

"I agree with moving forward into the passage, but first, let's check out the debris that's been strewn about during the fight.[/I]

Minx · 12-16-2003, 03:37 PM

Wanting to help out Krazixs but not having the healing abilities he himself has, D'Aleen walks over and places a hand on his shoulder offering up a drink from her flask.

"Please....it's not as much as you have been able to do for me but the spring water from my homeland is very restorative. Rest and we shall wait for you to regain your strength before we move on."

TinniT · 12-16-2003, 08:53 PM

XianXian climbs up to Sexodus' shoudler and holds onto the string-harness and his ear and awaits the direction he takes her.

Cubby · 12-16-2003, 10:10 PM

Feeling that he was taking all that Attrah was, Thantos, slowly reaches out to take the sword. Thantos had a sword, in fact it was his Father's sword, it had seen him through some very tough times and he loved it dearly. But in this place with the magical creatures, it wasn't nearly as effective as it could be. This magical sword could come in handy.

"Thank you Vinoh, I will take this sword for now, until a new permanent owner is found. Now, one of you Vinoh, or Darghon, had a spare one of those magical bags correct? I'm getting a little overloaded here, would I be able to borrow the unused one until we are done in this place? "

Bob Biter · 12-16-2003, 10:53 PM

"Yes, I believe Darghon is our bag man. Perhaps he'll have a spare one for you... I sense that you feel bad about taking the sword, but I'd rather have as many well-armed people on my side as possible in a place such as this!"

GoldenOuroboros · 12-17-2003, 04:38 AM

"Bag dragon thankyou.." He looks at his friend Vinoh grinning.. "And um.. I only have my own D-bag.. it has ample space though.." he looks at the bag at his scaley side.

"Sexodus is right, we should be off... but only until we are all up to the task" he eyes off Krazixs who is being handed a flask of water from D'Aleen.. "But for the mean time.." he sticks his hand into his D-Bag and pulls out five small sacks.. "It'll be much easier to retrieve the gold from my D-bag if they're in individual sacks before they go into its void.." he says while filling up one of the sacks with an even proportion then placing it inside of the D-bag.. the innards glowing an irridescent blue as the sack is slid in and dissappears, as he pulls out his hand the glow stops, the bag looking like any other sack to the untrained eye...

krazixs · 12-17-2003, 08:13 AM

Krazixs smiles gratefully to D'Aleen. He takes the flask and drinks deeply.

"Need, is the best sauce for any dish, and I can't think of anything right now that tasted better than the water of you homelands."

The cool water flows through the elf rejuvinating all the aches, and sore muscles. The coolness spreads through his body bringing a feeling of life back.

Rising Krazixs looks at the two small objects in his hands wondering who would be the best to give them to. Holding up the scarab in his hand Krazixs considers carefully.

"Vinoh, catch!" Krazixs tosses the scarab to the mind mage."That item my friend will allow you to combat creatures that have been brought to life through magical means. Creatures like Golems. Use it well."

Krazixs next considers the amulet carefully. He already had one similar, but who to give this one to.

Smiling Krazixs tosses the amulet to Sexodus.
"And here you go, this one should protect you from any diseases, should you get any, even those of supernatural origin."

Satisfied Krazixs turns to the rest of the party.

"Ready to leave when you are"

Sexodus · 12-17-2003, 08:41 AM

"Thank you Krazixs. I am sure that this will come in handy!"

"I assume everyone else is ready?"

***Looking back to the others for assurance... Sexodus continues down the passageway. Being sure to check for traps and other Strange things.

Bob Biter · 12-17-2003, 02:54 PM

Vinoh catches the scarab and inspects its flawless artwork, after which he places it in a pocket of his robe.

"Thank you very much, Krazixs. Combines with my gem of strength, I'm sure I'll be able to deal with golems without any problems!"

Noticing that he also had a bag of holding, the mind mage sheepishly holds it up.

"I guess I forgot I'm also a bag man. If anyone wants to get rid of excess bagagge, feel free to give it to me and I'll keep it for you."

With that, Vinoh falls in behind Sexodus in the secret passage, club at the ready and invigorated by Krazixs' gift.

GoldenOuroboros · 12-17-2003, 04:23 PM

Darghon slides his claw inside of his D-bag pulling out a bag of holding as well "Hrmm.. imagine that.." Darghon looks at Krazixs "Would you like this? I have no use of it Krazixs, having my own.." Darghon continues to fill the other sacks with gold and jewels placing them in his D-bag when they get full..

rogue49 · 12-17-2003, 06:10 PM

* This staircase of ancient stone is worn smooth
through use in ages long forgotten.
Dust lies upon the floor and dry cobwebs choke its narrow passage.
They go down into the darkness at a steep angle
for maybe a distance of 30 feet as you make your way through the webs.

You come to a landing 10 feet square,
and the way makes a sharp turn left,
into another set of stairs downwards again on a steep angle.
There is not darkness at the end of the way approximate 40 or so feet ahead of you below.
Through the thick mass of webs you see flickers light & shadow. *

MSD · 12-17-2003, 07:33 PM

James moves down the stairs, stops briefly at the landing, and sidles down the edge o fthe staircase toward the flickering light, making himself as inconspicuous as possible in case something at the bottom turns out to be less than friendly.

Cubby · 12-17-2003, 09:47 PM

"Vinoh, can you carry my father's sword in your D-bag? I'll get it later."

Passing the extra sword off to Vinoh, Thantos follows the other down the passage way, shield on one hand, Attrah's sword in the other. Upon seeing the flickering lights below, and that James and Sexodus are moving to check things out (OOC: Sexodus, I'm presuming since you are leading you are doing this..if not just ignore me), Thantos presses his back against the wall and crouches down as far as he can trying to see into the room below him. Moving slowly next to the wall, Thantos waits for the others to wave him forward before continuing too fast.

GoldenOuroboros · 12-18-2003, 12:29 AM

Darghon fills the last of his sacks, he ties up the opening and puts them in his D-bag... Following the other warriors down the stairs "Gah.. damn these cobwebs.." Seeing the lights down below he casts Invisibility on himself...

krazixs · 12-18-2003, 07:28 AM

Krazixs accepts the sack gratefully and ties it around the rope he's using as a belt. Falling in the middle of the line Krazixs makes his way down the stairs following his comrades

Minx · 12-18-2003, 07:54 AM

D'Aleen slings her bow over her shoulder and grasps her dagger tightly as she follows the others down the staircase to the landing and onward.

rogue49 · 12-18-2003, 11:45 AM

* Down the stairward the party goes...cautiously
Into a room 30 foot square, rising high above to a 20 foot flat ceiling.

Gargoyle carvings smile, revealing their teeth, from high upon the wall,
well lit by a brazier that burns fiercely in the center of the room.

From their alcoves in the center of the walls on the left & right sides of the room,
two iron statues stand saluting with their weapons bared.
Each statue has four arms, one with a shield, one with a sword
and the remaining two with their palms toward the ceiling over their heads.
Their eyes seem to watch you as you walk into the room.

High overhead, an hourglass with writing on its base
hangs suspended above the brazier.
All of its sand is in the upper portion
somehow refusing to run down into the bottom.

In the center of the room next to the brazier is a golden chest.
A single closed door is across the way in the middle of the wall opposite you,
and two other closed doors are to your left evenly spaced on the wall with yours opened at the end. *

krazixs · 12-18-2003, 12:15 PM

"Hmmmmm. . . "Krazixs considers carefully the room about them."Sexodus I would search for any traps, levers, or anything that looks like it could move along a track. Vinoh does your new amulet tell you anything about the statues around here? Let's be a little cautious before approaching that chest." Gazing up at the hourglass floating overhead Krazixs tries to decipher the writing on the object.

Minx · 12-18-2003, 01:29 PM

"I agree....I think that although the last chest we came across yielded some valuable treasures as well as our new pixie friend, that we should take great care with this one.

Can you understand the writings on the hourglass Krazixs?"

Wandering over closer to where the elf was looking up at the object, D'Aleen felt a shiver slide up her spine.

"We seem to be in a different place/dimension than the forest we originally entered. Perhaps time has been skewed as well and this is why. By all rights that sand should be falling.......I sure hope that we don't set it off if that means our own time here will be up....."

GoldenOuroboros · 12-18-2003, 02:30 PM

The invisible darghon wanders down into the room... sitting in the corner waiting for something to happen.. an urge building inside of him.. almost forcing him to goto the treasure...

Shaking that off he wanders over to where Krazixs is, making as little noise as possible and tries to identify the dialogue underneath the giant hourglass...

Bob Biter · 12-18-2003, 03:54 PM

Hearing Krazixs request and eyeing the statues warily, Vinoh fingered his new scarab-like amulet, to determine if there were golems about. He also, focussed on his strength gem, so that he might be ready in case of an attack.

TinniT · 12-18-2003, 11:31 PM

::XianXian looks up at the statues with open-mouthed amazement, then shivers off a cold gust of fear. Warming her self, by rubbing her hands against the outside of her arms, she whispers across the party::

"I don't think you all were supposed to have opened my box."

rogue49 · 12-19-2003, 06:00 AM

* The writing at the base of the hourglass is easily read...

In the palm of my hand
Is the time left to thee
When it's consumed
Will the flame set you free!

The door to the way you've come through slams shut
with a loud bang.

And you notice the sands in the hourglass start dropping... *

Cubby · 12-19-2003, 01:54 PM

(OOC: Oh...sh**!! We in trouble now!!

)

Thantos, realizing that he had a Bag of Holding, puts his father's sword and his crossbow in the bag and then, offloads a bunch of the weight from his pack before following the others down the stairs and into the room.

Thantos has just finished reading the inscription on the hourglass as he notices the sand start to fall.

"This can't be good!"

Looking around Thantos runs to the the door in the middle (just to the left of the one we entered) and tries the door. Expecting it to be locked he moves on to try the other doors, trying to decipher the puzzle as he goes.

"Everyone, we need a way out of here or a way to stop that sand quick. Any ideas?

I'm thinking that palm of your hand may have something to do with the statues considering they have so many palms. Vinoh, Darghon, XianXian, can any of you fly up and see? Or do you have any other ideas?"

GoldenOuroboros · 12-19-2003, 03:57 PM

"Well just from quick thought I think once the hourglass emptys" darghon looks around "the room might errupt in a enormous fireball burning all to a crisp, and setting us free from out "

"Then again it could mean something totally different... I'll have a think about it more.. in the mean time I think we should try these other doors..."

I have been sent to see that the creature who attacked my homeland shall not return to cause us more harm. That is what I was sent to do, I will accomplish the task or die trying.

He shows a bit of a smile as he speaks again, in an amused, almost joking tone of voice. "I also find that almost anything will stop moving if you cut it into enough pieces."

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	"We have a few options. We could explore the passageway that was revealed and still is open.....or go back the way we came. I think we should examine this room thoroughly first, and then make the decision together." Quietly speaking the words, D'Aleen casts her eyes about the room...watching the movements of her companions, both new and old. The urge to move on is a strong force pushing against her but the desire to seek what other treasures this room may hold is stronger. With a defiant toss of her long hair, the elf leans against the table and examines the blade given to her by Krazixs; while keeping an ear open for the conversation around her. __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon looks at the now open secret passage.. his tail flicking back and fro as he stands on his hind legs scratching his chin.. "D'Aleen.. I think that anything that was ment to be hidden from anyone.. or us for that matter.. would definetly need to be checked out" Darghon then looks at the trinkets on the table "But we would definetly need to be careful and on the look out for traps and other creepy crawlies.." Darghon goes back down on to all four of his claws.. "Tell me when you are finished sorting through the gold and I will put it back in my d-bag for ease of keeping.." Darghon grinned.. resting his head on the table watching them sort the gold and keeping an ear trained on the conversation beside him.. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

rogue49 Loser	* It seems as if all wielders of magic & mind have found all the "unique" items within the collection Darghon had in his bountyful bags. Although you do humorously notice Sexodus twitching his nose as he glances some of the bigger gems. You are able to get most of Attrah's remains from the twisted set of his armor, all that is left is his own sword, which for some uncanny reason he never went for during his rage. The past immaculate room is now a in ruins, The cot is destroyed, the desk mangled, weapons rack torn apart, the ceiling is caked black with soot, and the floor is covered with blood and hordes of random items. There is no noise around, except your own voices & movement. Not from the passage & not from the ways you came. *

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Krazixs smiles. He must be really exhausted, the amount of energy he had to expel to reveal the identity of the two items in his hands, seemed enormous, but he felt it just meant he was tired. Grasping the two items in his hand, one amulet, and one scarab, Krazixs sinks down against the wall and closes his eyes. "You guys go ahead and figure out which way to go, I need to rest for a bit. I'll tell you about these two things and we can decide who get's them in a second. Just give me a minute to rest. . . " With that Krazixs closes his eyes and tries to let his mind rest to regain his strength. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

Sexodus Banned Location: The Canyons - Boarding	*trying to break his eye hold on gems... He stands and looks to the others. "I vote on a move thrugh the passage. We must press on, to put out the light of this evil. Backtracking will only take us longer!" *Turning back to the table, he drops the last of the larger jewls back onto the table. walking towards the passage. He fianlly takes a sword and jams it into the door. "There, now we shouldnt worry about it closing on us!"

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Turning to see Krazixs slump to the ground to rest, Vinoh secretly hopes one of the unknown items will help him, seeing as D'Aleen and Thantos got some pretty neat things. The elf now had her bow, the dagger and a ring; Thanots had his cape, Attrah's shield and maybe even his sword, if he wanted it. However, all would be revealed in due time... With his telekinetic powers, Vinoh lifted Attrah's sword and gently sent it to the fighter. "Since you have his shield, you might as well have his sword as well, unless you prefer your own." Keeping the sword afloat until Thantos grabs it, the mind mage turns to answer Sexodus. "I agree with moving forward into the passage, but first, let's check out the debris that's been strewn about during the fight.[/I] __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	Wanting to help out Krazixs but not having the healing abilities he himself has, D'Aleen walks over and places a hand on his shoulder offering up a drink from her flask. "Please....it's not as much as you have been able to do for me but the spring water from my homeland is very restorative. Rest and we shall wait for you to regain your strength before we move on." __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	Feeling that he was taking all that Attrah was, Thantos, slowly reaches out to take the sword. Thantos had a sword, in fact it was his Father's sword, it had seen him through some very tough times and he loved it dearly. But in this place with the magical creatures, it wasn't nearly as effective as it could be. This magical sword could come in handy. "Thank you Vinoh, I will take this sword for now, until a new permanent owner is found. Now, one of you Vinoh, or Darghon, had a spare one of those magical bags correct? I'm getting a little overloaded here, would I be able to borrow the unused one until we are done in this place?

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	"Yes, I believe Darghon is our bag man. Perhaps he'll have a spare one for you... I sense that you feel bad about taking the sword, but I'd rather have as many well-armed people on my side as possible in a place such as this!" __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	"Bag dragon thankyou.." He looks at his friend Vinoh grinning.. "And um.. I only have my own D-bag.. it has ample space though.." he looks at the bag at his scaley side. "Sexodus is right, we should be off... but only until we are all up to the task" he eyes off Krazixs who is being handed a flask of water from D'Aleen.. "But for the mean time.." he sticks his hand into his D-Bag and pulls out five small sacks.. "It'll be much easier to retrieve the gold from my D-bag if they're in individual sacks before they go into its void.." he says while filling up one of the sacks with an even proportion then placing it inside of the D-bag.. the innards glowing an irridescent blue as the sack is slid in and dissappears, as he pulls out his hand the glow stops, the bag looking like any other sack to the untrained eye... __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Krazixs smiles gratefully to D'Aleen. He takes the flask and drinks deeply. "Need, is the best sauce for any dish, and I can't think of anything right now that tasted better than the water of you homelands." The cool water flows through the elf rejuvinating all the aches, and sore muscles. The coolness spreads through his body bringing a feeling of life back. Rising Krazixs looks at the two small objects in his hands wondering who would be the best to give them to. Holding up the scarab in his hand Krazixs considers carefully. "Vinoh, catch!" Krazixs tosses the scarab to the mind mage."That item my friend will allow you to combat creatures that have been brought to life through magical means. Creatures like Golems. Use it well." Krazixs next considers the amulet carefully. He already had one similar, but who to give this one to. Smiling Krazixs tosses the amulet to Sexodus. "And here you go, this one should protect you from any diseases, should you get any, even those of supernatural origin." Satisfied Krazixs turns to the rest of the party. "Ready to leave when you are" __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear. Please roll a d20 to see how many of your body parts are still identifiable.

Sexodus Banned Location: The Canyons - Boarding	"Thank you Krazixs. I am sure that this will come in handy!" "I assume everyone else is ready?" ***Looking back to the others for assurance... Sexodus continues down the passageway. Being sure to check for traps and other Strange things.

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Vinoh catches the scarab and inspects its flawless artwork, after which he places it in a pocket of his robe. "Thank you very much, Krazixs. Combines with my gem of strength, I'm sure I'll be able to deal with golems without any problems!" Noticing that he also had a bag of holding, the mind mage sheepishly holds it up. "I guess I forgot I'm also a bag man. If anyone wants to get rid of excess bagagge, feel free to give it to me and I'll keep it for you." With that, Vinoh falls in behind Sexodus in the secret passage, club at the ready and invigorated by Krazixs' gift. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Darghon continues to fill the other sacks with gold and jewels placing them in his D-bag when they get full.. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

rogue49 Loser	* This staircase of ancient stone is worn smooth through use in ages long forgotten. Dust lies upon the floor and dry cobwebs choke its narrow passage. They go down into the darkness at a steep angle for maybe a distance of 30 feet as you make your way through the webs. You come to a landing 10 feet square, and the way makes a sharp turn left, into another set of stairs downwards again on a steep angle. There is not darkness at the end of the way approximate 40 or so feet ahead of you below. Through the thick mass of webs you see flickers light & shadow. *

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	"Vinoh, can you carry my father's sword in your D-bag? I'll get it later." Passing the extra sword off to Vinoh, Thantos follows the other down the passage way, shield on one hand, Attrah's sword in the other. Upon seeing the flickering lights below, and that James and Sexodus are moving to check things out (OOC: Sexodus, I'm presuming since you are leading you are doing this..if not just ignore me), Thantos presses his back against the wall and crouches down as far as he can trying to see into the room below him. Moving slowly next to the wall, Thantos waits for the others to wave him forward before continuing too fast. __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

rogue49 Loser	* Down the stairward the party goes...cautiously Into a room 30 foot square, rising high above to a 20 foot flat ceiling. Gargoyle carvings smile, revealing their teeth, from high upon the wall, well lit by a brazier that burns fiercely in the center of the room. From their alcoves in the center of the walls on the left & right sides of the room, two iron statues stand saluting with their weapons bared. Each statue has four arms, one with a shield, one with a sword and the remaining two with their palms toward the ceiling over their heads. Their eyes seem to watch you as you walk into the room. High overhead, an hourglass with writing on its base hangs suspended above the brazier. All of its sand is in the upper portion somehow refusing to run down into the bottom. In the center of the room next to the brazier is a golden chest. A single closed door is across the way in the middle of the wall opposite you, and two other closed doors are to your left evenly spaced on the wall with yours opened at the end. *

"Krazixs considers carefully the room about them."Sexodus I would search for any traps, levers, or anything that looks like it could move along a track. Vinoh does your new amulet tell you anything about the statues around here? Let's be a little cautious before approaching that chest." Gazing up at the hourglass floating overhead Krazixs tries to decipher the writing on the object. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	"I agree....I think that although the last chest we came across yielded some valuable treasures as well as our new pixie friend, that we should take great care with this one. Can you understand the writings on the hourglass Krazixs?" Wandering over closer to where the elf was looking up at the object, D'Aleen felt a shiver slide up her spine. "We seem to be in a different place/dimension than the forest we originally entered. Perhaps time has been skewed as well and this is why. By all rights that sand should be falling.......I sure hope that we don't set it off if that means our own time here will be up....." __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!
