They say it's about the journey, not the destination. This is true of many things. Pizza delivery is not one of them.

TFW you know what you want to happen but the words aren't cooperating. Why is plot suddenly so much harder to write?

Bio

I am an adult, though I don't usually act like it. I'm a voracious reader, and not overly picky about books. I am artistic in a variety of areas, including music, drawing, writing, and sculpting. I have a minor obsession with dragons, and love the color violet. Fantasy is my preferred genre, be it past, future, urban...as long as it has a fantasy flavor to it. I also like scifi, mystery, and some horror. I am crazy, and I like tormenting my characters. But I don't bite...much. ^.~

at a dungeon in Ocren

It took a little work to get at, but the secret door behind the bookshelf was a pleasant surprise. What lay beyond it was far less pleasant. The altar looked Lovecraftian, which was unusual for the sort of place they were. The temple's imagery wasn't eldritch horror in nature, which meant this was probably added by someone later on. "Be wary," Elian cautioned. "This feels like a boss room."

Sure enough, before long a shriek echoed off the walls, and the scent of waterlogged flesh filled the air. Elian quickly recast protection from evil, and then haste. "Fuck me, but that's a foul smell!" she said. "I'm not sure what exactly we're facing, but expect something rotten." With that in mind, she cast resist disease on each member of the party, then mana regen on herself again.

Since she knew that Rath had the front of the group on lockdown, she turned to look behind the party. The last thing they wanted was to be taken by surprise from behind, though it sounded like only a single enemy was in the room.
@AwesomeZero5 I think the ranger is a decent level, or we'd have noticed when he partied up. Then again, maybe he had someone powerlevel him, and doesn't know as much as he should.
@Eviledd1984 it could just be that his arrows are always poison.
@AwesomeZero5 Undead in most games are not affected by poison. I don't know what the case is here; we'd have to ask @Eviledd1984.
Hey guys. just wanted to let y'all know that I'm going on vacation the first week of October, and will be without a computer for that time, so I won't be posting during my vacation.
@Eviledd1984 Take your time. I hope work eases up on you!
@Eviledd1984 Oh, he didn't say it aloud?

at a dungeon in Ocren

Elian had to admire Claudia's angel theming -- or at least she would after the fight, when her attention wasn't focused on keeping everyone up. Rath got Intimidating Presence up, and the skeletons focused on him at least for the most part, allowing the other damage dealers to attack freely. Maybe a little too freely -- some of the skeletons turned away from Rathello and went after Claudia and the ranger, with the ranger getting a deep wound in his shoulder.

The ranger had barely called out that he needed healing before Elian was whirling her fans around, casting a simple healing spell on him. Goibniu was still on the floor, leaving himself completely exposed save for the protection the party provided and his automaton. She didn't comment --- the ranger already had, and that was sufficient in her mind.

Before long the skeletons were dealt with. Elian stepped further into the room, nodding at the death knight's assessment that they should stay alert. The glowing spirits provided plenty of light by which to search the room for loot and secrets.

at a dungeon in Ocren

Elian stayed toward the back as the party entered the dorms area. The sight of skeletons in beds immediately set off her danger sense -- and it seemed the death knight agreed with her, warning everyone to be on guard. And they were right to be concerned, for the skeletons rose from the beds, grabbing nearby spears and threatening the party!

"Alright, here we go!" Elian called. "It's skeletons, so that means bludgeoning damage will be most effective." She whirled her fans in a circle, casting haste on the party, then protection from evil, and following that up with heroism for Rathello to boost his resistance to any diseases the skeletons might be carrying.

With her initial bases covered, she then cast a spell for boosting mana regeneration on herself. "If anyone else needs some extra mana, let me know," Elian said. She kept a close eye on the party's health bars at the edge of her HUD, particularly Rath's, so she'd know when to heal the tank.
[ Jareth ]



Fixeon Municipal Recycling Plant

Jareth sighed in relief as Blur Rabbit heard his call and came down to help thin the hoard that was attacking his position in the earthworks. The other hero was just a blur of movement as he worked. "Thanks man," Jareth called. But then the remaining terrazards turned around and started charging the factory. Luna was now outside the factory, and didn't seem distressed by the approaching 'zards, so he could only assume that the matter was under control.

His assumption was backed up as the terrazards ignored Luna and her passengers, and went straight for the burning building, clawing at the rapidly-crumbling walls.

[ Amuné ]



en route to Fixeon Municipal Recycling Plant

Amuné wasn't surprised when her powers registered danger to Madison. Wireframe was on a mission -- it made sense she'd encounter danger in some form. Of course that probably meant that the party crew hadn't managed to keep things as quiet as they would have liked, but it wasn't Amuné's mission, so she set that aside.

A ping of anxiety tied to Austin, however, was completely unexpected. "Wiseman? Come in, Wiseman." Nothing. She almost turned the car around, but she was nearly at her destination. It would be foolish to go back across town to help when she'd probably arrive too late to do anything. Besides, Austin was capable -- and the Fixeon crew had requested help. She had to focus on her chosen mission.

She pulled into the plant, parking next to the two black HERO vehicles. She'd put on a tactical vest before departing Hero Three, and now she grabbed her carbine from the passenger seat. "Fixeon group, this is Oracle. I've arrived. Sitrep, please." It wasn't hard to see that the plant was on fire. What had happened here?
