Wizards!

[notjarvis]

These dancers look a bit tripped out, and a bit useless.

Beginning to feel like this conversation is getting us nowhere.

Uther gives up on the conversation (he's terrible at it with girls anyway).

Cast Genius! on the poor girl.

* It's a genius idea to trust this rather ropy stringy looking Wizard and to take him to see the person who is going to be sacrificed (I'm guessing there will be an imminent sacrifice) as he has the power to make this the greatest sacrifice ever! *

(A bit of me is nervous that we are to be the sacrifices and this will utterly confuse the poor girl. but hey ho.)

During their meeting, Fenlander tells R'rud about the peak of the mountain and the massive enclosure akin to an altar which the wizards saw in their vision. R'rud guides Fenlander to the other wizards, then leaves to scout the city and ask around after the altar.

While wandering around R'rud sees a palace servant boy who was flirting with him earlier. R'rud moves in to talk:

"Well hello there! I noticed you were staring at me during dancing practice earlier."
*The boy blushes and mumbles an affirmative*

"Although flattering, that is not a very polite thing to do."
*The boy flushes and starts to apologize*

R'rud interrupts the apology:

"Although, I guess I can forgive a handsome and talkative boy like yourself, if he were to show me the peak of the mountain *broad smile*. I've heard it contains something that looks like an altar. Is that even true?"

[Drakon]

Looks like the game is getting a bit messy and the party is breaking up with everyone doing their own thing so I'll try my best to sort this out.

Mordin prepares his healing spell, reaching out with his hands that suddenly blaze with a calming white light. The same light shines in his eyes as he enters a meditative healing trance. Then, the patient's daughter looks behind Mordin and screams in surprise as a very dirty looking person hugs the healer from behind while salivating buckets of drool on his shoulders.

The light engulfs the pox-ridden woman and she screams in pain unlike anyone has ever seen. Her back arches in pain as she cries out in agony that never ends, even as the poxes start to dissappear until..

Poof.

Mordin snaps out of his trance and looks at a pile of ashes on a bed. He had failed. And someone was dry humping him and drooling on him at the same time. The young lady stares in disbelief as her mother combusts into flames before her eyes and starts sobbing which eventually turns into a heart-wrenching cry of grief.

Meanwhile, Fenlander and Andronicus are the only ones remaining, soaking up the magnificent valleys and peaks... and also the scenic views of the countryside around them as the others wonder off with several scantily clad women trailing after them.

Uther meanwhile, casts Genius on one of the women, who leads him into the myriad lefts and rights and ups and downs of the palace to end up in some tower of some kind.. looking at... a goat. Apparently this poor fellow is going to be sacrificed! Verincent, at this point hopelessly lost, bumps into Uther and his girl.

The goat says, "baaa.."

R'rud is in the midst of seducing a footman with a critical error. He raises an eyebrow and says, "excuse me? wouldn't you of all people *looks your golden bikini clad body up and down* know about what happens at the top? In fact.. everybody knows that!"

[Solarflux]

Looking quite innocent R'rud says: "As you know, I am quite new to the city, having arrived only a few days ago to complement the group of dancers. Having grown up in a small town, far far away, the story is unknown to me. Perhaps you can teach me? *Smiles sweetly*

[xJammer]

After several moments of inhaling the escaping traces of mahogany smell from Mordin's clothes, rapidly being replaced by quite repulsive smell of the drool and unbrushed teeth, Agrippa wakes to his senses and looks at Morin with some intelligence in his eyes :

- You are not mahogany! Why are you trying to deceive me?!! And why did you just burn that woman?

[notjarvis]

{whispers to Verincent)
"Hi Verincent!
Apparently this here goat is to be sacrificed to the Dragon! Personally I thought this lot would be in for a bit of human sacrifice, as dragons are known to like the taste of royal flesh :-)

This seems a bit strange. Any idea why a goat? Or what we can find out?"


To the dancer girl - "When is the dragon due to appear beautiful lady?"

[Memento]

That's a good question. Let's see the goat's path.

*Casts Learn, focusing on the goat* *Also tries to visualize the altar/shrine and tries to visualize that too*

Or maybe we should ask about the altar too so I can see it and try to divinate what's up with it as well?

If we do find someone to guide us/tell us how to reach the shrine/altar, let's go there.

Screw it, let's cast 3 turns of learn on everything

[Drakon]

Put everything in a nice list and in order of what you want to do first and calculate mana costs for all of those.. and how much you mana you have left, then we'll start.

[Memento]

(Sorry for being annoying, but I guess I should've gone something else than a Seer. My mistake for having misread Andon's first post)

So let's see, I only have 104 mana and you never know when we might need some Biebers (ugh) up in here.

I'll be honest with you Uther, I think this goat is just a goat. But let's find  the altar so I can focus on that? Hell, there might even be some clues that Andronicus failed to notice in his vision.

What do you say? If you agree we can try to find someone to guide us or go on one of my secret scouting missions and try to find some spell scrolls for the both of us along the way. Once we get there, and I'm sure we will somehow, I can try to visualize prior uses of the altar and see if there is anything fishy. Hell, we can even give it three turns, sure it'll use 27 mana but I'll have enough for 3 Bieber ponds which is enough to annoy the hell out of Satanta himself (while we run away), not that I think we'll encounter anything.

[notjarvis]

OK. Fair enough. Let's try and talk the dancing girl who should be still here into heading for the Altar next in our whistle stop tour of the places of interest

Uther Mutters some meaningless nonsense words as if he is making a great spell.

"in vino veritas"
"memento mori"
""In caelum cerevisiae est nullum, Itaque hic bibemus illum!""
"bibamus, moriendum est "

Uther then closes his eyes and humms as if he is meditating powerfully.
"Ommmm"

"Now beautiful dancing girl (did I ever find out her name?), this will be the greatest sacrifice ever! If you will just take me to the Altar where the sacrifice will be made I can complete the spell....."

(ooc - I have to say that I'm having a hard time keeping up with what's going on, and I sometimes think we are telling Drakon what to do instead of it going the other way.)

[Solarflux]

Ooc: I am trying to keep the actions / answers of others open to Drakon and other players. A question: are we allowed one action each day or several?

Thats called role playing as far as I understand we are permitted whatever interaction we wish between each other, while the major moves or actions (i.e. casting spell, anything that will advance the story) is decided and described by Drakon

Andronicus and Fenlander are chilling out in this massive balcony with chicks, Uther and Verincent and R'rud are off trying to solve a mystery.. while you just lost your concentration due to Agrippa ambushing you in the midst of your healing spell, incinerating your patient in the process.

Whenever in doubt, ignore everyone's posts and look for mine.

[Raveen]

I'm going to ask the dancing girls to find Ibun, then get Ibun to take me to the rest of the party. Probably be best if Andronicus comes with me.
