Bricksandparts Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 OoC: Been a bit streteched for time lately "I wish I brought an extra sweater... Johon... you holding up?" "Yeah, just a bit cold." Quote
Zepher Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 "It was just an idea," grumbles Boomingham with a beleaguered smile. "Looks like you're stuck with us a short while more, dear." Quote
The_Customizer Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 "I'm not feeling too tired, I believe I'll stay awake and help keep an eye out for trouble." Erdathcath walks over and sits down in the corner, eyes and ears alert, knowing that she was no longer accepted by the team, she keeps herself awake in case anything happened. Her mind drifting to recent events including the various threats and decisions she was forced to make. Her fellow heroes no doubt thought she was insane, but she knew she was the only one standing between the Regret and the world, even if it meant betraying her allies to end his rule, she was prepared. With these thoughts rushing through her mind Erdathcath finally falls asleep for a short while. Her dreams are plagued with the visions of the Regret and the vision she had once had long ago... the darkness was getting closer, she could feel it.... Quote
Endgame Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 The party makes their choices on whether or not to sleep, only Masson and Erdathcath apparently retiring to bed. ------ Two hours pass, only a handful of Oculoids disturbing the heroes. Alatreon swiftly puts them down, crushing them under his massive feet in one fatal step. Other than that, the two hours is a much needed repreieve, the party having time to stop and reflect as they try to evade the biting cold. The Regret was only getting closer and closer, and before long the final battl would be upon them. What would the heroes do then? The thoughts on how to kill an immortal, and keep themselves safe in the process, haunts them as they snag a few minutes of much needed relaxation. When the two hours pass, Alatreon beats his wings together, the combination of the gust and the noise awaking the two slumbering heroes. Masson gets up, startled. "I'm awake! I'm awake... You... You guys eventually slept too, right? Youd din't spend the past 2 hours just staring at me while I slept, I hope...?" "Hmph. You are an odd specimen, Paragon." "After having that thing strapped to his back, I'm surprised he can *wheeze* still string a sentence together." "Yeah, tha thing was gross..." "We can ruminate on how disgusting that parasite looked after The regret falls. it is currently barbequed. We have other things to worry about. Now, if you have nothing else to do or say to me, then I will be off, and I advise you to do the same. You have a villain to defeat." Quote
Zepher Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 "I'm ready." Boomingham stands up. "Be careful, Dragon." Quote
Endgame Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) "If you sent Seerus into retreat, my only fear is another Collosus. I will be fine. It is you who has to deal with the mastermind. If you start to hear word of hunters flooding in here... That means I succeeded. We will meet again when The Regret falls, heroes. I swear it." Edited October 7, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Emjajoas Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 "When we meet again, then, Dragon," Mortimer nods before turning towards the gate. He avoided catching anyone's eye. "Let's go. It is unwise to waste time." Quote
Bricksandparts Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Johon lays back on his belongings, looking around the current room. ~~~ Getting up and preparing to leave, Johon turns tot he Dragon. "Be careful out there, mate." Johon says, preparing to leave. " ." Johon says, walking cautiously towards the door. Quote
The_Customizer Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Waking up, feeling slightly refreshed, Erdathcath looks around, was she the only one that slept? No matter, it was time to move on. "I'm ready, let's go." Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Jeaux follows the rest of the party toward the exit Quote
Endgame Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 "Until our paths cross again!" Alatreon torpodeos down the path behind the heroes, his wings carrtying him faster than the wind. The party goes the opposite way, leading into another winding corridor with the owner of the estate. Masson groans. "What rant are you going on this time?" "Hmph. Arrogant bastard. Good night, heroes." With a slam of his cane, The Regret plunges the room into darkness. Before the party can acclimate, they find an unbearable drowsiness overcoming them, each hero collapsing to thei knees in the ethereal darkness. The last words they hear before they succumb fully are... "Bellum, Cardic, Vanguard. Haul them away, and follow your instructions..." The heroes feel ghostlyclaws wrap around their shoulders and ankles, being dragged somehwere else within the vast citadel...

Endgame Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Three doors open, three parties emerge from separate paths, and three ghostly Proggs stand before them. They speak in succession. "The tours are complete, heroes, as are the tests." "We could tell you who passed or failed, but... I think you can figure it out on your own." "Farewell, heroes." With that, the three ghostly Gladius members vanish in a puff of smoke, leaving the heroes to examine themselves and their teammates. Boomingham stood tall and proud as usual, but his hand was close to his sword and his face stern. Mortimer looked tired and bitter, a crimson welt growing off from his neck. Her head hung low, Alice looked pathetic, her orange her matted and her face stained with tears. Erdathcath also stood tall, a fierce look on her face. She looked as if she had seen an old friend... or perhaps an old foe. Despite his featureless face, Jeaux looked like he had recently calculated something of large magnitude... Punii was covered in rock dust, trembling and gasping for air. A dreamy smile on her face and an intense lust in her eyes, Karie stays incredibly close to Masson, pressing her body against his. Johon looks rather exasperated and conflicted. A bitter look in his eyes, Masson stares down Johon while also taking the occasional uncomfortable glance towards his wife. "So... how *wheeze* did everyone's *cough* different "tours" go...? What happened *wheeze* for you guys...?" "Ours was... Less than ideal." "Ours would've been fine, if not for a... Breach of trust..." Edited October 14, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Bricksandparts Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) "The regret wants to deal with us from the inside. He's trying to turn us against each other." Johon mutters, not sure how else to react. Edited October 14, 2014 by Bricksandparts Quote
Endgame Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 "He succeeded." says Masson bluntly. Quote
Emjajoas Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 "Are you alright, Punii?" Mortimer asks, glancing at everyone else. "What happened to the rest of you? Ours went... well overall," he explains. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) "He succeeded." says Masson bluntly. "You act as though it's my fault!" Johon retorts. "All things considered it would have been worse the other way!" Edited October 14, 2014 by Bricksandparts Quote
Endgame Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 "Are you alright, Punii?" Mortimer asks, glancing at everyone else. "What happened to the rest of you? Ours went... well overall," he explains. "There was a *wheeze* giant... a forty foot tall giant, and he... We escaped. A warmachine. He was a *wheeze* giant, mechanical, warmachine... Carried a spear and everything, a shield too." "You act as though it's my fault!" Johon retorts. "All things considered it would have been worse the other way!" "The Regret told you to do something, and you obeyed. Especially since you deceived her into taking it!" Quote
Kintobor Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 "I feel more than alright." Karie replies, her body swaying back and forth, her face flush red as she twirls her finger through Masson's hair, smiling. She pulls out her Glittering Dress, pushing her weight onto one leg and placing the outfit over her torso, showing it off. "How'd you think I'd look in this little number, sweetie? I think I'd be irresistible." She playfully growls at her husband while dreamily keeping an eye on him. "The Regret told you to do something, and you obeyed. Especially since you deceived her into taking it!" "Don't be angry, honey. It's awkward when you get angry with others. Hold me... touch me..." She clings to Masson's arm, looking exasperatedly out of breath but in deep pleasure. Quote
Emjajoas Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Mortimer works his jaw for a second, perhaps wanting to say something. All he seems to manage is a faint "What the hell?" before he turns his attention elsewhere. "It's best not to linger, but... is she...?" Quote
Endgame Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) "Love potion. Strong one. Specifically said she didn't want it, too - and I can assure I wasn't the one who fed it to her." He looks towards his wife, who was gleefully modelling her body and wardrobe. His eyes fixate on her swaying hips and thrust out chest before he regains his normal composure, his reasoning quickly triumphing his more primal instincts. "Karie, put the dress away." Edited October 14, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Zepher Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Boomingham looks over at Punni. "I hope you're alright, chap. I was worried about you." He then glances over at Masson and grins. "You're in charge of her, Stealer. Make sure she doesn't make trouble for us." Swishing his sword around a little, he turns to Em: "I agree. Let's not dwell here." Quote

"Trust me, I was *wheeze* concerned about you and Mortimer too. Times like these, you need your *cough* best comrade by your side." "You look oddly amused, Boomingham." Quote
Bricksandparts Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 "I-" Johon starts. "There was no right choice!" Johon continues before stopping himself, realizing what he should have done. "I shouldn't have let her take any of them. I should have been the one." Johon says in a low voice. Quote
Kintobor Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 "Karie, put the dress away." "Make me." She says lustfully. He then glances over at Masson and grins. "You're in charge of her, Stealer. Make sure she doesn't make trouble for us." "Trouble's the one thing I'm lookin' for, Boomie." She says cheekily, seductively winking at the paladin. "Besides, as much as I love my little Masson, he couldn't keep me under control even if he tried, if he knows what I mean." She moves her finger up and down Masson's chest. Quote
Emjajoas Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 "Generally, listening to the Regret is always a bad idea," Mortimer spits. "Can you not remedy it?" Quote
