Sandy Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 "It seems we may have several options, you can try to find out who the real girl is, and hope the magic wears off or try to cure it later. You can try to find the source of the spell and try to disable it... Or there's one more option... I can try to cast a large catch-all anti magic spell. It will be powerful and unpredictable, and I can't be sure of the results." "I don't imagine we can just grab them all and leave to sort this out in a more secure place?" Ellaria speaks to the blonde girl. "Hi there! Do you know what is going on here? Who is responsible for you having five look-a-like... umm, colleagues?" Quote
Zepher Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 "Hope the chap ends up alright," says Boomingham, glancing over his shoulder at the boy. "Which way do you think we should go, Nyx? I'm assuming the others must be around somewhere and not captured or what not, but who knows, we may have missed the commotion while we were in the sewers. I promised Purple we'd get Zoe back and I highly doubt she's in a kitchen, which is what that smells like." Boomingham sniffs a few times. "On the other hand, I'm starved, and I trust Atramor and Elpis to find her. Shall we see what mysteries the kitchen holds, or what?" Quote
Pandora Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Nyx considers tying the boy up, but before she knows it she's in the corridor. "Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine. Probably." she slips her arm through Boomingham's "Right then Larry, I agree, let's go to the kitchen. There might be something to drink or someone to kill, and either way I'll be happy. And I think we should make sure it's clear before progressing upstairs. Don't want to be caught from behind now, do we? " Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Nyx and Boomingham "HEY!! What do you two think you are doing in here!?" Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Boomingham shrugs. "Just came in for a bite to eat. I know we can order that out there, but really, this is much more direct. Got anything good?" Boomingham glances around and finds that the kitchen, same as the storage closet and the hallway, is strangely devoid of guards of any sort. Edited June 16, 2014 by Zepher Quote
Pandora Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Nyx shrugs along with Boomingham, keeping her face innocent. "Uh huh, we've both got quite an appetite and so now we're hungry. And thirsty." Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Boomingham winces in shame. "I told you, my head is going," he whispers to Nyx. "We are very thirsty for booze of course too," he declares, tripping over his own words. "How could I forget the booze," he grumbles. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Skrall, Ellaria, Atramor "Excuse me, I do not speak much Common, I am Christina. Big Muscles, you want special treatment yes?" "The manager, I guess. They're sisters. If you want a job interview, you should find him, he's usually downstairs." "I think kidnapping all of them would be difficult, not to mention suspicious. And I don't want to help in kidnapping possibly innocent girls. Tell me when you've decided on an approach." Nyx & Boomingham "You came from the wrong entrance, boyo, you two have five seconds to come with a better answer before I call the guards of the whole damn place and me and my boys put meat back on the menu." Edited June 16, 2014 by Scubacarrot Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Skrall looked over the titles of the books. "Someone want to interrogate those bunnies?" Quote
CMP Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "I think maybe we should have a...word, with the manager." Quote
Pandora Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "Oh silly, that's my fault. He wanted to, uhm, explore the place, you know? And I brought him in this entrance because it was the quickest way back, and he really has quite an appetite, hehe." Nyx blushes and giggles in a girly way. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Skrall, Ellaria & Atramor "I will not have you turn this place in a slaughterhouse any more. You're not going downstairs." Skrall reads several colorful titles: Such as: The Kama Strivvi, How to train your Killer Rabbit Strivvian Lineages, 2nd edition Alchemist's Cookbook Werefolk Farm Catcher in the Dye He's not sure if any of them will be helpful right now. Edited June 16, 2014 by Scubacarrot Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Boomingham chuckles. "You know, you people lack hospitality in the worse kind of way. Is there a better answer than the truth?" Boomingham lies. "I do have quite the appetite. Got to keep up my energy! Now, are you going to call your guards, or will we be fed something? I mean, we'll be fed either way, but one way a bunch of guards will be pissed as Hel that you bothered them just to call them down on such a high paying costumer." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Nyx & Boomingham The cook looks incredibly sceptical and increasingly angry at the two heroes: "Uh, Huh. So how did you go from the Common Room to there?" Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "I don't remember all the twists and turns of the place. I haven't got the head for it. Last thing I remember she led me down some stairs, through a Hallway - I said I was hungry, and she told me exactly where I could get a snack that was right near by, thank the Gods." Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 The Metasimian gives Boomingham a cold stare: "No one is ever pissed at the great cook. Mon Que" "She doesn't even work here. GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDDDDDDDDSSSS!!" Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "In fairness I'm pissed at the great cook right now, but, Hel, we tried our best to be friends." Boomingham pulls out Scupperer. "You chaps don't want to go for a go before the guards arrive, do you? I've always had a fondness for your species, but I'm more than willing to make an exception for folks who call the guards on me!" Quote
CMP Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "Better a slaughterhouse than a slave pen." Atramor grumbled as he picked up one of the apples and cut it open, checking to see if it smelled off in any way. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 A Hobgoblin Guard runs right through the door. "What's going on, Mon Key, who these two. Others be here soon." "Don't you see he just grabbed a weapon. What you waiting for, at him!" Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Boomingham glances over at Nyx. "Sorry, dear. I'm never very good at covering. Besides, I'm sure they found it hard believing a beauty like you was with a man like me." Boomingham saunters forward a little. "Alright, chap, here's the deal. We're here for our friend. We're almost absolutely positive that she's working here and doing it against her will, because it really doesn't fit in with her last profession. Now, you don't know me, but if you did you'd know that making people do things against their will is an enormous no-no for me. So, I'm here to stop it, and save her. If you know anything about it, and help us out, then you'll live. If you didn't know anything about it, and help us out, you'll also live. But, if you did know something about it, and don't help us out, you'll die. Understandable, right? Or, you can just follow the chef's orders and we can dance with our swords for a bit, but I'll warn you, I'm very good with mine." Quote

Atramor grumbled as he picked up one of the apples and cut it open, checking to see if it smelled off in any way. "I'd tend to agree, I thought you weren't a fan of politics? But they're no slaves." The apple looks and smells fine, albeit a little on the small side. Edited June 16, 2014 by Scubacarrot Quote
Zepher Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "I can take any of these fellows down with a blow, I think, pretty damn easily. Though that chef looks pretty muscular. Maybe he should have been the guard, and that creepy critter the chef. It's your call, my dearest - but remember we'll be getting roughed up a bit, so I may fair better hanging back until their numbers decrease a little, and not risking too much of myself while I'm doing that." Quote
CMP Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 "At least one of 'em is, and seein' as how almost all of them seem to be clones of her....these are just morals, mate, far as I'm concerned politics are pretty much independent of those." "Maxis, can ya' tell if the bathwater has anythin' to do with it? Maybe it's what changes them?" Quote
Scubacarrot Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 "Oh but I disagree. Politics is all about morals. The Bathwater? That would mean the ones that don't look like her would never take a bath, and they look pretty clean to me." Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Skrall stuck a thumb in the pie on the shelf and took a taste. "Still think someone should check the bunnies." Quote
