Hello!

@LightComposer I like Cyberpunk too, though that genre can get intensely deep

"HURRY!!" Minoc yelled and began running across the bridge towards the building where the civilians were hiding. At the site of the Scorpion, where Jabberwocky ran too, a net sticky web shot out of the ground from underneath the roof tangling the man/monster, there were no Tinkertown soldiers manning the Scorpion. The web was designed specifically for individuals who could phase through matter, it has a coagulation effect that bunched and stuck to the person caught in it. If they tried to phase through it it would bunch up in the person's center of mass and not allow them to unphase.

Minoc ran into the building while the other soldiers tried to fire their crossbows at Jabberwocky. Minoc closed the door and barred it tightly. Once he was inside he tried to organize the people inside and lead them towards a back door that would take them down the mountain.

OOC

this is a rough and ugly representation so you can know where everything is. You are on a bridge, Minoc is in front of you, the circles are soldiers who are hidden in buildings and shooting bolts at you. The building behind you has civilians and the Scorpion is a weapon that hurts.

"You'll do that anyways you evil Monster!" Minoc shouted back. "Jub Jub came here and murdered many of our people! She dropped wild animals on our village and tried to murder us! Our bold fighters killed her and threw her body off the mountain. No go Monster! Go before we kill you too!" Minoc held his arm up, waiting for Jabberwocky to move. If Jabber made a move to attack then Minoc will drop his arm and an arrow from the Scorpion will be fired on him.

OOC

Make your move Jabber, but if you move aggressively you have to deal with a giant, dragon killing arrow being shot at you.

Tornel and Stephanie

"Yes, well..." Tornel said as he took the parcel from Stephanie. Suddenly he dropped it, surprised by its heft. "My God girl! How have you handled such a ridiculously heavy thing! This will not due, not due at all, no weapon could possibly be so.. unwieldy." He picked up the item with two hands and handed it over to Peter. "Take this servant, we'll examine it later."

"Y... yes sir." Peter said, reverently taking the wrapped package from the Fire Mage and grunting from the weight.

He put his hands together and leaned towards Stephanie, *BOOM!!!* loud impact rocked the underground chamber as if on cue. "So, Steph, you are to be brought to the King for an immediate audience. An Oracle coming to life well that's... that's the most significant event of the last decade!" He turned and led the other two up the stone staircase, another loud boom shook the chamber, "I do so apologize for the inconvenient noise, you'll never believe how frustrating a siege can be. I might have to personally intervene if the King does not send the Bandersnatch yelping back to Draygon's den."

The stopped at the top of the step and opened a large, oaken double door. The door opened to an ornate and gelded hallway with a polished golden floor and bright white walls. The torchlight flickered so brilliantly off the shining surface it was like walking on the surface of a diamond. There were three heavily armored guards waiting for them as they walked through the door. "Sorry for the mess," Tornel said, smiling venomously, "but we don't keep the dungeons as clean as the upper floors. Please, walk this way."

"If this is your dungeon I can't imagine the splendor of.. ." Peter spoke, still carrying the heavy package.

Tornel raised his finger to silence the talk. "No need to be distracted by the beauty of our city, we know, and you should be silent to appreciate it." Peter fell silent.

"Here is your room," Tonel stopped and opened the door to a room at the end of the long hall they had just walked down. The room had the shining floors, white walls, and gelding along the ceiling just like the rest of the hall. It had a large decorative rug on the floor, a single bed with an ornate quilt, a small desk with a mirror, and a wash basin and sink as well as a small enclosed area for using the toilet. "Please, step inside, our ladies in waiting will bring you appropriate clothing for your audience with His Highness." Tornel bowed deeply and motioned them into the room.

As soon as Steph and Peter stepped in Tornel shut the door and they heard a loud *click* as the door was locked. "Fools!" Tornel yelled through the doorway, "I know you are servants of Draygon! You've fallen right into my trap!! Now stay in your room until I decide what to do with you, and don't try to pick the lock, I've booby trapped the door so if you so much as TRY to break out it'll explode and kill you and your little underling!" Steph and Peter could hear Tornel's footsteps click on the solid floor as he walked away from their cell.

[hider=SYNOPSIS] Oh No! you've been trapped in a cell and Tornel thinks you work for Draygon! What are you going to do? If you try to pry open the door it'll explode, dare you risk it? Of course, you could always unwrap the gift you brought from Tinkertown, Tornel didn't seem to think it was important enough to confiscate...[hider]

The King and Sarah

The Manta Rays approached the Castle from the North. From her perch on the back of the Manta Sarah could see Bandersnatch as a little dot on the south side of the castle shooting balls of fire over the outer wall and hitting the stone of the towers. Directly underneath her she could see the top of a large square parapet lined pavilion built atop one of the towers. There were maybe twenty guards standing on the pavilion looking up at the Manta's. "It appears we are expected," Asra's voice chimed in Sarah's ear.

The Manta's landed and the soldiers began to unload their goods. One of them walked up to Sarah and helped her down. "Miss," he said chivalrously, "we weren't expecting a lady in attendance. Welcome, to Castle Solace! From whence do you come?"

---

King Kovar looked out the window from his study. He could hear Bandersnatch yelling a challenge. Give up the Oracle and Wizard and no one has to die. Over and over again he yelled before blasting the castle again. Kovar felt sad, he didn't know what to do. There was no Oracle at the Castle, it had been sent away as a gift for some cousin or another's wedding. Tornel had told the king that they weren't valuable, just decoration. But now one of Draygon's lieutenants was banging down his door looking for one. Why now? he thought, why after all this time we've been left alone do they now harass us? And why do they want the Oracles? The King was at a lost.

The door banged loudly. "Your Highness!" A Paladin's voice called though the thick door, "The Rays from the Islands have brought their load, and they brought a passenger sir." The King motioned for his attendant to open the door.

When the Knight saw the King he fell to his knee. "And why is that my concern?" The King asked.

"She has Pink hair sir," The Paladin said, looking down.

The King stroked his long beard. He remembered that one of the Oracle renderings had pink hair, maybe the Rays had brought them a way out of this mess. "Bring her to me, and good work young Knight. What is your name?"

"Sir Brunch, Your Highness." The knight said. He snapped up at the King's command and went to fetch the young girl to see the King.

SYNOPSIS

Sorry, I had to write this out quick, so there may be errors. Sarah has landed at Solace and the King has requested an Audience. Not bad, waking up one day and seeing a King shortly after. You just landed, I hope you're not overwhelmed :)

Village of Oak

Village of Oak

Two figures approach the burnt shell of the village of Oak, one from the South West, one from the South East. They saw each other from the distance and stopped. They were enemies, mortal enemies, and they both understood that one of them would have to die before this day was over.

Sir Lunch dismounted his white stead as he saw the Shadowy servant across the field. In a fair fight he'd stay on the horse, but these nightmarish creatures of Draygon tended to spook horses. He had fought the monsters before and he knew the only way to kill them was with fire. His sword was coated in an oil that Tornel, the Fire Wizard had prepared, Sir Lunch lit the blade and charged toward the shadowy beast.

From across the field the Shadowy Servant began its own charge. It saw the flaming sword but was not deterred, it had its own weapon of cold steel it wielded in its clawed hands. After a furious sprint the two of them met and CHANG!! as their weapons clashed! Blue and red sparks shot off the weapons as the enemies traded angry blows. CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! their weapons struck, neither gaining the obvious advantage.

Sir Lunch was winded and sweating. He and the nightmare creature circled each other, looking for an flaw in the other's defense. Sir Lunch saw it! He swung his fiery sword high in a feint aiming at the creature's head. The evil thing raised it's weapon to block and Sir Lunch changed his stance to bring the sword onto its clavicle. This maneuver would have worked if the creature had feet and balance, but the monster moved inhumanly, it's bones snapping as it jerked, and dodged its body out of the fiery swords path and using its clawed hand torn down the breast plate of Sir Lunch's chrome armor.

Sir Lunch was thrown back, his breastplate had four long slashed deep in the metal, the flesh underneath was torn. Using what little healing magic he had he kept himself from death but not for long. The Shadow creature stood over the knight, ready to deal the murderous blow, and Sir Lunch was too tired to get away.

SYNOPSIS

Carmen, you must choose, help the knight or help the shadow creature.

"And if you're an AI, what was Harbinger... what drove it to malfunction?"

@shadowsaint007

"I can't say for sure," Asra said, "everything fell apart before I the program was fully initiated, I just... I just don't know."

OOC

no worries, tonight when I'm able to make a thorough post I'll set up Bandersnatch and give you a good place to land. The landing spot is at a point north of the castle, the Manta's are going to swim the materials the rest of the way but you might have to walk, we will see.

Lucky Tongue Tavern

@Th3King0fChaos

Color me impressed, that is a sad story and a quality read. I especially liked this part:

"As I spent around a year working under this label, I was excited. I was doing great work and I was doing what I loved, yet it felt strange between me and my boss. He always seemed to be looking through me, always punching a hole into my head with his never-ending gaze. His eyes always transfixed on something behind me, I never knew until now what it was."

Good job, and thanks for stopping by the tavern.

BTW, tell about the dart board, how did it not work? I got a mechanic coming by and ill let them know so they can fix the darn thing.

A New Encounter, Roll Initiative!
