Scubacarrot Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 "Oh, come on now. Your minions are clearly better armed than we are, and there's a giant spider around as well. I'm sure our weapons are none of your concern, I mean, if it's a talk you want..?" Quote
Asphalt Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 Their reply comes in stereo from all directions. Falcon Brother Commander I have seen you kill indiscriminately throughout this place. For all I know you are the reason I am here. Your weapons if you please. Falcon Brother Archer I have seen you kill indiscriminately throughout this place. For all I know you are the reason I am here. Your weapons if you please. Falcon Brother Quick Striker I have seen you kill indiscriminately throughout this place. For all I know you are the reason I am here. Your weapons if you please. Falcon Brother Executioner I have seen you kill indiscriminately throughout this place. For all I know you are the reason I am here. Your weapons if you please. Falcon Brother Staffman I have seen you kill indiscriminately throughout this place. For all I know you are the reason I am here. Your weapons if you please. Continuing to speak with a single voice, the Brothers ready their weapons and await the reply of the party. What will the party do? Quote
Endgame Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 "Why would you care? You're humans who were dealing with the same monsters and baddies we were, no? ...Unless you're not human at all?" Terry begins to fear a far darker presence in here than a magically talking arachnid. Quote
Asphalt Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 Falcon Brother Commander Ohh I assure you, my little Frost Wright, that human is the last thing I have ever been accused of being. These vessels were, or rather still are quite human. Please let us not drag this out any longer than we have to. Give me your weapons that we may be on our way. I will consider it a sign of good faith on your part. You have come so far, do not force me to bring an end to your journey here.

Endgame Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Terry shrinks back, and, against his better judgment, keeps yapping - it wasn't too convincing, though, as he was steppng back, curling his shoulders in, trying to be as small of a target for that nasty blood red blade as possible. "Listen, whoever you are - since I'm assumin' all five of you folk are the same mister or missus. This place is screwy enough as is. Either you come clean and tell us why you can't escort us out with our weapons, or we may have to consider some other options. If ya really ha no wicked intentions, no problem in coming clean, right? ...right?" Quote
Asphalt Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 Falcon Brother Commander Indeed there is only one of me. But as you can see, one is more than enough. I will ask you one final time. Hand your weapons to me, and accept my escort. You have seen that I can call whom I choose to aid me. Do I need to further convince you that if I wished you dead you would be? If so, open the door to the west. I give you my word that if you give me this sign of good faith it will be rewarded. If you choose to not give in to this simple request. Well, you are a child of the world. I am sure you can imagine that it could go poorly. Falcon Brother Archer Indeed there is only one of me. But as you can see, one is more than enough.

QM NOTE: Tomorrow morning it will have been 10 full days since Cryos posted. If I don't hear from him before then he will become an NPC, under the control of the Party Leader, for the remainder of the quest until the characters are returned to the hall. Quote

Mencot Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Keliim stands is ground, hits his axe to the floor in front of his feet, cross his arms and speaks and looks, this time also not on the Falcon Brothers but over them somewhere else. "Begone from here, let these men go, let their souls rest. What gives thou the right to possess these creatures of this place, slay these men and then possess them to slay us? Keliim raises his right arm and points with his finger. SHOW THEESHELV whatever thee are! Answer us this and we will leave thee alone and this cursed place! With what right and power do thou this? Edited June 21, 2015 by Mencot Quote
Asphalt Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) The brothers answer Keliim quickly and succinctly. Falcon Brother Commander By the right of the power to do so. Falcon Brother Archer By the right of the power to do so. Falcon Brother Quick Striker By the right of the power to do so. Falcon Brother Executioner By the right of the power to do so. Falcon Brother Staffman By the right of the power to do so. What will the party do? Falcon Brother Commander You presume much tall one. These men came upon me with ill intent, so now they serve me. It was not I who trapped anyone here, it is not I who came to this place with the single intention of death and triumph, it was not even I who built this prison. I have yet to kill, but if you continue to test my patience I will eliminate you and await another cadre, perhaps one with more sense than to argue with that which they do not know.

I hast stood against the worst, I habt stood against a false god with no fear, I don't fear death nor do thou freighten me.

Asphalt Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 The Falcon Brother Commander Steps forward and Picks up the Barbarians Axe, securing it in his own belt. Falcon Brother Commander Be Assured Barbarian. When our business is concluded, if it be their will, these men will be returned as i found them. Each brother turns his gave on another member of the party. And now you? Falcon Brother Archer Be Assured Barbarian.

Falcon Brother Staffman Be Assured Barbarian. When our business is concluded, if it be their will, these men will be returned as i found them. Each brother turns his gave on another member of the party. And now you? What will the party do? Aristune watches as his "leader" hands over his axe, and breathes a sigh of relief. He had no doubt that if it came to a fight, these seasoned warriors would make short work of the motley crew beside him. How powerful must the force behind them be to control minds such as these men possess? He turns to the borther looking at him, attempts to meet his glowing eyes and cannot. He hands the man his bow, and steps back into formation with the others. I think that was a wise choice Keliim, let us hope your friends do likewise. Quote
Mencot Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Keliim was not happy with this solution, he would had ofcourse felt much more Secure with the weapons at their sides. But he was actually intrested to see what this voice was, he had some memories still of the false god Karain, who enslaved and possessed many beings. Claiming to be good and a rightful ruler, he... It was nothing else than a image of pure evil and wickedness. He wanted to know was this being the same. Keliim assured himself he would rather die then be mindcontrolled again, bad thing here was this being could possess the dead. He though about the magmastone in the room behind them, destroy himself and this cursed place if needed. The big man looked at the others and nodded and said to them. "Let us do as it wishes, give up thee weapons. But don't look at these men, I can't feel their minds presence here." Edited June 22, 2015 by Mencot Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Calamity scowls as she hands over her staff. "Why do I have the feeling we just became bait, more so." Quote
Mencot Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 OoC: Can the remaining two players comment that they "hand over their weapons" or atleast Endgame (Cryos weapons can go with automatic if he isn´t online in the next 12 hours) so we get forwards from this point, thanks. Quote
Asphalt Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 NOTE: If it hasn't happened by morning, post it for them keliim. Quote
Endgame Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Terry wasn't sure if he should submit to authority. he was never a leader, always a follower... But Keliim was going to place the party in a potentially lethal scenario. With a grunt - more of a whimper, really, he acapitulates he hands over his weapons, backing away slowly. "I hope we're not makin' a mistake, leader. because I tell ya, I'm not gonna be pulling off that ice boar thing again, not without my weapon." Quote
Mencot Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Muradin does the same. Keliim looks at Terry and the others, trying to assure them to stay strong, no fear. But actually in the back of his head he wasn't too sure what will happen next. He taps Terry on the Back and whispers "Lets stay close." Then he speaks out with a louder voice. "We done what thou asked, now do as thou habt told!" Quote
Asphalt Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 The Brothers take the last of the weapons from the party, and form up in a tight formation around them two to each side and the commander to the lead. Falcon Brother Commander Now that you have complied with my small request, follow these men to me. Then perhaps I shall be able to answer your questions and will be able to fulfill your purpose here. Falcon Brother Archer Now that you have complied with my small request, follow these men to me. Then perhaps I shall be able to answer your questions and will be able to fulfill your purpose here. Falcon Brother Quick Striker Now that you have complied with my small request, follow these men to me. Then perhaps I shall be able to answer your questions and will be able to fulfill your purpose here. Falcon Brother Executioner Now that you have complied with my small request, follow these men to me. Then perhaps I shall be able to answer your questions and will be able to fulfill your purpose here. Falcon Brother Staffman Now that you have complied with my small request, follow these men to me. Then perhaps I shall be able to answer your questions and will be able to fulfill your purpose here. As they progress through the westward door, the party sees immediately what the "Voice" was referring to when she said that she would be able to provide a small showing of force. At the blonde man's approach two Cave spiders they bow their heads and climb up into the dark recesses of the Parlor ceiling. As You pass under them it is hard not to imagine how a fly in a spider's web might feel. Falcon Brother Commander You see now, it would have been so very unfortunate for you, for my pets to see you as a threat. They are so very hungry, and would have taken little provocation. Falcon Brother Archer You see now, it would have been so very unfortunate for you, for my pets to see you as a threat. They are so very hungry, and would have taken little provocation. Falcon Brother Quick Striker You see now, it would have been so very unfortunate for you, for my pets to see you as a threat. They are so very hungry, and would have taken little provocation. Falcon Brother Executioner You see now, it would have been so very unfortunate for you, for my pets to see you as a threat. They are so very hungry, and would have taken little provocation. Falcon Brother Staffman You see now, it would have been so very unfortunate for you, for my pets to see you as a threat. They are so very hungry, and would have taken little provocation. The group travels westward once more and finds themselves once again in the familiar barrel room. Not far from where their adventure began. One more door will bring them face to face with their goal, or perhaps their demise. The Commander pauses at the door and turns to look at the Cadre, almost to ask if there is anything they would do or say in their potentially last moments in this place. Quote
Cryos Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Muradin's face gradually crinkles with the every second his hammer is absent. Kelim's assuring nod doing little to quell the dwarf's temper. He spoke through angry slurred teeth, "We coulda taken yer lousy 'pets' down jus fine" He removed his flask from his lips, the dwarf just realizing it had been empty for little over an hour now "An' stop usin all them big words at me. I assume they fightin' words, you littl' provocation." He spat, placing the drink back into his mouth. Quote
Mencot Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Keliim turns to Muradin and says "I don´t think there be any need for thy bold words, thou habt proven thee worth and might already on this quest. He turns to the rest It seem we all habt learned something new on this quest, one thing is patience and other thing is that there art not always the need to take to arms to settle things. Two things easily forgotten. We have grown as individually and as a group. The big man turns back to the falcon brothers but doesn´t speak to them, no he just looks over them again, to the roof, the distance, the parlor, waiting if the "thing" behind the voice would say anythin, or even care or dare to emerge from it´s hidding. "Guess nay, art it a coward!" Keliim thinks to himself. Edited June 23, 2015 by Mencot Quote
