Rumble Strike Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 "Hey, I said we should be careful! Although if you want to go back and see the Maginastra about the remains of the pale witch then we could make sure we know what we are doing with the amulets. I just fear that time is of the essence now." Quote
Endgame Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 "Speaking of which... Where is that closet we used to teleport here? Did it disappear?" Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 "I hope it's still there, even if hidden, as we told Vres and Laxadaisi to head there earlier. I am sure the Maginastra wouldn't leave us to fend for ourselves." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Not trying to be nitpicking or anything, but Sandy ruled a while back that all weapons need to be a weapon class. "While I'd hate to rush, I fear Hlin is right, we know how this should work, we might as well get to it. To the beach!" Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 QM Note: I'll look into it and assign classes. I'm also thinking now that a weapon with an SP component is probably something Sandy would want to avoid. Quote
Endgame Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 QM Note: I believe one has existed before. Quote
Chromeknight Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Yes. Let us go to the beach and use the amulets. Such an extended time in the presence of the Darkstar is beginning to affect us all. Especially you rogues. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Guts sighs at Nerwen's last remark. And says: "That reminds me, Mizuki, here have one of my Grand Potions, as promised." Quote
Endgame Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 "To the contrary, I'm actually better today. Hopefully the Darkstar doesn't bring out... him." Syntax chuckles in the back of my mind, knowing "him" was referring to himself. Why did my greatest enemy have to be myself? Although, I suppose it was always that way, before Syntax even came to fruition. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 With Sonora's demise, the prison evaporated and Nerwen stepped free. Seeing The Rogue Sorrow bending, looking at her remains, Nerwen crouched beside. Drawing a glass vial from her satchel, she swept the dust into the recepticle and stoppered it before dropping it back in her bag. "Grand Potion to Sorrow and Nagure, Necklace to Mizuki, Ether Core, one Grand Tonic and the Veil to Maurice, two Grand Tonics, the Bracelet and the Tiara to Nerwen.."

The party decide to head to the beach, knowing that they must release a water-based Guardian. They reach the beach in the gathering gloom, the storm that raged earlier now a fragment of its previous majestic fury. The Tyrant's Tower looms over them. The Tower they must topple. Quote
Tachyon Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 MIzuki puts on her necklace and starts digging with her shovel while the rest of the party discusses what to do with the summoning amulets Quote
Costy Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 "Lets knock her over" I hand the summoning Amulet to Guts. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 "There's no point in waiting. Brace yourselves." Guts takes the summoning amulet from Nagure, and connects the three of them together... Quote
Chromeknight Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Essence of Sorrow. I like it. Thanks Rumble! Does this tower make anyone else feel... Small? Hey, look at me, I'm a microfig! And so is everyone else! And easily recognisable too! But Sorrow is a girl? Or just slim? Edited January 22, 2013 by Chromeknight Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Essence of Sorrow. I like it. Thanks Rumble! Hey, look at me, I'm a microfig! And so is everyone else! And easily recognisable too! But Sorrow is a girl? Or just slim? QM Note: If you ask the Maginastra about it you'll find out what it does. If not, well, it'll be a surprise! And I always saw Sorrow as a very slim character, being undead and all, so I gave him the same cone body as Nerwen and Mizuki. I hope Endgame would agree. I'm glad you like them! I knew when I'd build the Tower in non-minifig scale that I would have to do something like that to show scale, and it allowed me to put your characters into the scene without needing correct torsos/faces etc. I am having trouble with the forum on my work PC so will update soon, may be a double post.

Endgame Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I hang near the back of the group, the passing winds literally rattling my bones. My BMI was seemingly woefully inadequate at this moment. (It is okay, I think of Sorrow of that too. ) "Let us make sure our Kaken smacks this tower away from us, hm?" Quote

If Hlin finishes an enemy, he becomes Hastened for the remainder of the battle. Weapon: Ruby Cutlass (WP: 8) Equipment: Helmet (Health +1, loaned by Maurice) Guts takes all three amulets, and links them together in the triangle formation shown on the amulets themselves. A hum begins, a thrumming of energy that to Sorrow, Mizuki, Hlin and Nagure, sounds similar to when they stepped from the Maginastra's mansion into the realms of sanctuary. The amulets flash a bright blue, lighting up the sky. Guts throws the linked amulets into the sea and waits. From the waters edge a blue shaft of light appears, the waves building and building until a giant head bursts from the water. Kjorfalneire, the great leviathan of the seas, a creature which this world has not seen for centuries, has been summoned. It looms over the assembled party, a glint in its red eye. Edited January 22, 2013 by Rumble Strike Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Guts looks up. The raider shouts: "The tower!" Edited January 22, 2013 by Scubacarrot Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 The gigantic beast surveys the Raider calmly, frozen in time for a moment, a terrifying lizard of the deep brought somehow to this city, to the Tyrant's Tower. It moves suddenly, frightening with its speed and raw power. It leaps out of the water and begins to climb the Tower. The barrier spells, enchantments and wards cast on the Tower of Doom spark furiously but impotently as the huge creature ascends the tower, water pouring from its scaly body. The beast slithers over the top of it, unleashing a bellow that can be heard for miles around. Kjorfalneire then looks down at the party, far below, as if waiting for a final command. Quote
Etzel Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 "Go on Guts, it seems to follow your command. Tell it to crush the tower." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Guts grins wickedly, this was a whole lot of power, at his command. The raider lift his hand in the air. As he closed it to a fist, he shouted: "Bring it down." Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Kjorfalneire seems almost to smile at Guts, perhaps sensing a kindred spirit in some way. Following the signal and command, the behemoth uses his vast body and long tentacles to smash down the Tyrant's Tower, piece by piece. The party retreat to a safe distance but a stone column just misses Nagure. The size of the Leviathan almost beggars belief, the spiky segments of its body wrapped around the base of the tower whilst it smashes it to dust. Finally, the creature moves off the shattered remains of the Tower of Doom and slopes back into the sea. The party look on in a stunned silence, taking stock of what they have just witnessed, and getting ready for what is to come. They must scour the rubble to see if Haroka, the Dark General, still lives. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) "Prepare for battle, if you have any consumables, I want you to use them now. If anyone that was in there is still alive, they are probably not very happy." Guts drinks the last mead he has left. And takes a sidewise look into the ocean, hoping to catch a glimpse of the seamonster. "Something tells me the Bonapartes are not going to like this. Heh." Edited January 22, 2013 by Scubacarrot Quote
Endgame Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Syntax was going ballistic, amazed by the might of the leviathan. For the first time in a long while, his enthusiasm gives him control over the body... Those looking by would notice "Sorrow" getting nonchalant and aloof, as well as bitingly sarcastic - as well as a tad bloodthirsty. I applaud wildly at the spectacular display of power. "Such elegance! Such grace! Such unrestrained brutality! Ah... You'll be missed, leviathan." Quote
Etzel Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 "Hopefully that creature will go back to the depths of the ocean, never to be summoned again. A horrible beast it was, but sometimes we need to use the evil things in the world to do good. Let wolf slay wolf and the lamb will be spared." Maurice drinks his last Nostrum and prepares to venture into the ruins of the tower. Quote
