Once the conversation I'm currently in is over, if you want to show up next/call me over and talk about being and Ice Barbarian that's totally cool.
You just can't hear the current conversation.
Alright.
Well.
I was being serious though when I said it was only loud enough for the two characters to hear it.
I was gonna point that out in my post, but since there was talk going on I tried to do that here before.
But you didn't listen anyways. :((((((
For that reason, and because I have to finish my own post. I'm gonna have to pretend your post didn't happen.
Don't worry though, you can totally edit it and have your own secret conversation dialogue with Travis, Felix, or both and absolutely nobody else will interrupt or hear it.

@Cottonmouth I'm gonna assume its not and be walking behind them. Words are echoing. They are loud.

Is FUNNY


@ShiningSector@Zelosse
Half tempted to have Artos freeze 'er mouth shut. "You're gonna wake the dead with that kinda chatter"


Should be alright, the conversation is only loud enough for Nemo & Raiya to hear.
Don't want the skeletons getting important backstory details.

Nemo glanced over to Raiya after she spoke, rather blank at first, as if he was still trying to register her question properly and think of a response. He then let out a small snicker, his face turning to a more amused expression. "Quid pro quo... more Latin, it means something for something. I'll tell you something about myself if you tell me something about yourself." Nemo proposed.

"Does that sound fair?" He asked. "Oh, and the uh, microphone, is gonna have to stay out of it, This is between me and you. That's what makes it fun." Nemo twirled his finger around his ear as he added his last condition.
Nemo listened to Felix's story, seemingly entertained by the exposition he gave as he looked around the room. He used the scenery to help him imagine the events of the past.

"...Their decor makes me hungry." He stated before moving on and catching up with Raiya. She seemed to try to gather information often, and figured that if he ran his mouth too much she'd get irritated with him. Nemo rested his hands in his jacket pockets and continued to walk beside her a few feet away, doing some thinking of his own. What kind of thoughts ran through his head was something to think about in itself.
Nemo gave a rather theatrical bow in response to Travis, Raiya, Felix. He pulled his revolver out as he did so and spun it idle in his hand for the duration of the bow. "I'm glad my performance was appreciated."

As he rose he began to reload the pistol for later use, ejecting the spent casings and calling fourth new ones from his mana-inventory. "However if it was not for Artos and Travis' quick action on moving the coffins, what I did would not have been possible. I thank you both for enabling me to create." He explained, then looked to Raiya. "And your spell against that, hulking brute of bone, was beautiful to experience as well. I do not think I'll regret our agreement anytime soon with such stunning visual displays. Maybe sometime we can do a duet?" Nemo finished with a slight grin, holstering his revolver and mock-playing a few notes of a piano with his hands in the air.

"As for the Latin, it's one language I'm fairly familiar with. Eruptio is the most common surface channeled explosive spell I know. And much like the language, one of the oldest. The Maximus variation is my personal favorite as well. I of course added my own personal touch, but that base spell has proved very useful over the years." He started. "However I did not learn it from the guide of a church member, nor the Academia. Effectively, all of my magic was self taught." To someone paying attention to his mannerisms, Nemo didn't seem to take much pride in saying this, almost as if it wasn't a choice but a necessity.
Now how to have Artos come outta this one alive..


You could explain that you ran behind the blast shield before it went off.
That's what I figured everybody would do.
Nemo thought about what Felix asked as he began to fire off shots from his revolver into the heads of the skeletons that made it past the barricade. A small grin appeared on his face, signalling that he had come to some sort of conclusion.

"Do you want to see something cool, Travis?" Nemo asked, clearly having something else in mind.

Nemo shot off one more round into the skull of one of the skeletons before he holstered the firearm. He placed his palms out in front of him, and from it a large clear-white manashield sprung fourth. The curved shield wall had more than enough surface area to protect both Travis and Nemo from a danger still uncertain.

Raiya's announcement caught Nemo's attention. He looked to her on top of the bones of the Ogre and called out. "You said I'm just as bad as rumored to be... Well, do you remember some of the things I was rumored to be capable of?" Nemo asked as he covered his right eye with the back of his gloved hand, the X on his palm shown right where his eye would be. He grew a rather malicious looking smile and then answered. "Mass destruction via explosions."

Nemo turned away and then crouched down, placing his palms on the floor. A long white line made of mana sprawled itself out from his hands, across the floor, under the shield, and ended over by below the mana crystal coffin barricade. And from that a giant glowing white X appeared under the crystal blockade. At this point Nemo's intentions seemed to be crystal clear to the rest of the group. It would likely be wise for the remaining two to retreat behind his blast shield.

The magic X began to glow brighter, it etched it's own magic circle out around it, the floor began to noticeably vibrate and hum, and a rather unpleasant but musical screeching noise was emitted from the X as it reached it's apex charge. Nemo figured the buffer time would give the group enough time to prepare

"Eruptio Maximus."

With those final words a chain reaction was set in motion. The magic line trailing from Nemo's palms to the spell began to rapidly fizzle out like a line of gunpowder. Once it reached the giant X a enormous explosion befell the room. The screeching instantaneously stopped and was replaced with a deafening boom and massive amount of glass shattering. Or in this case: crystal.

The mana crystal coffins shattered into countless pieces and fragmented at high velocity throughout the room in a devastating fashion. Even Nemo's blast shield was pelted with crystal shards. As the smoke and dust began to clear Nemo raised back up from his crouched position.

He had a rather pleased expression on his face. The mana shield dropped afterwards allowing Nemo to view his handiwork clearly. The sheer force from the blast was enough to crush the skulls and tear apart any of the skeletons nearby, and the indiscriminate shrapnel would shred the remaining ones. The devastating amount of shards would almost guarantee at least one would rip through their bone craniums.

Nemo calmly stepped a few feet forward and bent over to pick one one of the mana crystal shards. After leaning back up he examined it; about five inches long and one inch wide. He looked up and dangled it over his mouth before dropping it down his gullet and swallowing it whole.

Nemo then placed his hands in his pockets and viewed the carnage left behind. Skeletons, bones, and parts of were strewn about the room everywhere. Accompanied by the remaining shards of crystal, most of whom were stuck into the wall. He figured a few of them might have survived. But trusted the rest of the group could take care of the stragglers.
