THE HIGHLANDER'S TOMB (TEAM FORUM RPG)

Posts

I think of my old body in detail. My piercing blue eyes, my scruffy hair, my baby face... I liked who I was, I wouldn't change anything...

But I've always felt much older than I was. Perhaps I was meant to be an adult? No, now's not the time to think of that. I return to thinking of my small body... and riding on Wes' shoulders. I cannot wait!

Edit: Sorry for the wait, by the way! I've been extremely busy the past couple days.

Welp... That sucks. How did this happen? Well, if you can't restore the file, hopefully you at least remember the gist of what you wrote down. Still, I would be angry too if I were in your situation.

P.S.: Maybe it's an idea to also save the file in your locker from now on. That way, you'll always have a backup in case morons show up.
Well, I'm back! So what's...

WHAT!? Man, that's just bad luck...

Sorry pal. Hopefully by the time I posted this you may already managed to rewrite at least part of the information...

"Gourd, Use Ominous Caw." Razuna commands, and Gourd bellows one!
0! The mimic is unaffected!
Wes shouts "Razuna, Kairy, one of you make sure Fureira isn't injured!"
Then he draws his sword and rushes the mimic 3! Wes only manages to splinter it's lid, and the mimic still chomps furiously! Razuna attacks the monster as well 6! and he chops striaght through the lid, hitting Zuko's back and destroying that part of his armor!
The mimic cries in pain as it raises it's lid to chomp Zuko in two!
Kairy, who ran to Fureira at Wes' request, Casts Welken Bolster on Zuko!
4! Zuko Gains a burst of Fiery Force, which he uses to squirm his way out of the mimic, who is detered by the fire and actually throws him out of it's mouth. 5! Kairy loads a quartzine bolt!
The mimic backs off from everyone and sits in wait, arms out ready to grab. Just then the steel door is kicked in! The Titanium Terror appears, menacing eye scanning the room as a crack developes in the ovular pit...
a foul odor is emitted from it, like rotting fish and skunk.
------------------------------Bazyli----------------------------------
Bazyli thinks of his old body in detail, piercing blue eyes and scruffy hair, baby face...
for a second he considers making himself look older 5! but he decideds against it and refocuses on his old body.
The Frozen Stalkers crack and crumble, eventually melting into flesh, which takes the shape of a small male body. Appendages form, legs, arms, head and the like. Scruffy hair comes out of the head, it's pure white!
The body of the old Bazyli is complete, and Bazyli's soul is forced into it by Shivad! Soon, Bazyli awakes in his own body.
It's different, of course, but it's so much like the same.
"My, what beautiful blue eyes you have! Oh, and sorry, I didn't get your hair right..." Shivad says. Then the quake hits. Pieces of ceiling crumble and fall all aound you, the bookcases creak and crack, one starts to fall down on the both of you! 4! You both manage to skedaddle on out of there and enter the old miasmal pillar room. The quake finally ceases, but the staircase to the treasure room is blocked off... No getting those POWERSTONES now...
"Oh great of crap oh no..." Shivad yells angerly.
"Calm down Shivad!" You plea, but Shivad raves madly "NOW HOW CAN WE BEAT ANATHEMA!? OH NONONONONO! EEEEHEHEEEEE!"
Bazyli runs over to her, jumps and slaps her in the face.
"Get a hold of yourself!" He yells.
Shivad is more surprised than anything, which brings her to her senses.
She breathes heavily as she gesutres frustration and groans angrily.
"Alright, first thing first, armor. I've never done this spell before but it looks like I'll have to try now." With that, Shivad closes her eyes and chants rythmetically. Soon she is circled by water, which freezes into ice. Shivad formed herself an Ice Robe!
"Now, we can't have you running around naked, let's suit you up!"
With that said, Shivad does the same enchanting encantation and soon Bazyli is covered in an Ice Robe! His miasmal Affinity makes it more barable, but it's still pretty chilly.
"Now then, let's get moving." Shivad says as you both go through the only door left, the west door. You both enter a very long hallway, but at least you can see to it's end, which rounds a corner. On ends of the hallway are carvings that resemble a type of demon. After looking about Shivad says
"Let's go!" and you both walk down the hall. Halfway through, the demon carvings light up! The stone detaches from the rest of the bricks and slide towards you. Turning to run, they're stopped by a similar carving doing the same! You'll be crushed!

"Phew! That was close... Thanks Kairy!"

I thought I was out of trouble when I was freed from the Mimic... But then, the steel door is smashed down and the Titanium Terror appeared again.

"Guys: What do we do now!?"
*sigh* Will we ever NOT be in danger?

Riiiight, I'll retreat back over to Fureira and Kairy and cast Soothe Wounds on Fureira! Hopefully she can help us fight off that thing.

Edit: Also, if/when we retreat, we should go up the stairs imo
"Alright Wes! You do that, and I'll do this!"

I run to where Kairy is and throw a ball of Dark Fire to the Mimic!

"THIS is what you get for trying to turn me into your dinner!"

---------------------

"No problem, Zuko. Let's finish that thing off and...
Oh no, there's that monster again! Zuko, attack the armour monster with your fire spell. Fureira managed to weaken it like that before. Wes, hurry up and heal Fureira, then let's get the hell out of here!"

I look around for a safe path to escape. If anything dangerous comes too close to me or one of my teammates, I'll shoot it where it hurts.


Edit: Hooray, Ilan ninja'ed me. Never mind my suggestion, then.

Editedit: You know what, if Zuko attacks the mimic instead of the Titanium Terror, I'll change my action: In addition to looking around for a safe path to escape, I shoot the Titanium Terror in the eye. Enjoy, Metalhead.
"Oh, look who's back..."

If Zuko's Dark Fire fails I'll attack the mimic
using Dual Strike, if not I'll go help Wes or something.


You could at least put some wings to your old body, Clae.
@JJJ I was really tempted to, like, give myself a dragon's fire breathing sac or something but I figured Bazyli wouldn't really want that so I didn't. Gotta keep in character~

Buster Ball blast the rolling stone that's in the way of the path we originally wanted to take!

Perhaps my magic is powerful enough to destroy it!

-------------------------Turn 80-------------------------
Wes and Zuko rush to Fureira and Kairy.
"Guys, we need to take care of these things, and FAST!" Kairy commands.
Zuko turns around and yells "Try and eat ME will you!?" while casing Dark Fire! 5! A giant ball of dark-fire is hurled towards the Mimic! The mimic uses Withdraw! 5! The mimic retreats back into it's unassuming chest position and strengthens it's defenses! The ball of dark fire diminishes into nothing when it makes contact with the mimic. The mimic does not exit out of the chest position. Razuna takes this opportunity to Dual Pierce the mimic 3! he lunges with his gladius, and they pierce through the armor of the chest. The mimic cries in dismay and falls backwards, mouth agape, a treasure spills from it's innards. It is a vial of blue liquid!
With the mimic dispatched Kairy yells "Alright, metalhead, take this!" Kairy aims her crossbow at the Titanium Terror that had started to move towards the group.
It's menacing eye looks at Kaiy and widens in fear as Kairy fires a bolt at it! 2! The Titanium Terror moves ever so slightly and the bolt is blocked by it's thick armor. The eye looks at the group gleefully and loudly chortles creepily.
"Great, we need to heal Fureira NOW!" Wes says as he casts Soothe Wounds on her! 4! Fureira's arm glows and is cured from broken to sprained!
This isn't enough to wake her, however, and Wes is frustrated.
"Curse this confounded healing spell! It's not nearly strong enough... I'm not nearly strong enough... Kairy, we need to leave, and quickly!"
Kairy looks about, and she soon decides there are three paths to escape to. Forward through the Southwest door, up either the Northwest or Northeast staircases, or backwards through the Southeast door.
The ovular pit explodes, releasing rubble and debris all over the room!
Out from it emerges a vile, pulsating creature. It's snake-like body coming out of a hole in the ovular pit with thick, slimy, faded purple tentacles waggling to and fro emerging like appendages from it's body. The head, it's mouth like a grappling hook, it's eyes like torches, it's head-crest in the shape of many ax blades, wiggles and squirms as the monster looks about. Spying everyone, it bellows a roar with a foul breath like decades of rotting fish and skunk. Then a mouth forms out of it's side and opens wide. The tentacles slow down their waggling as eyes form on the underbelly of the creature, looking frantically around until each of the eyes fix on a different person.
The Titanium Terror falls to bits, it's possessor fleeing, no doubt in terror.
"Well, let's decide which way to go, NOW!" Yells Kairy, backing away in fear of the abomination she is beholding. Even Zuko is utterly disgusted, saying: "How can something have such REPULSIVE breath!? And... is that a mouth growing out of it's side?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING!?"
Everyone feels their courage leak out from their pants, and the group stares in horror while thinking of escape.

The Creature's Aura Doubles cooldowns when you're near it!
Everyone is Fearstriken! -1 to all rolls!
------------------------------Bazyli----------------------------------
Bazyli turns back towards the first moving wall and fires a Buster Ball Blast! 2! A ball of magical energy is blasted out of Bazyli and smacks into the demon wall! It disipates quietly. Shivad then yells angrily as she casts Icicle! Two icicles erupt from the ground and stop the demon walls. The icicles shake and creak as they are bound to break.
Then another quake.
Th icicles shatter instantly and dissipate, the walls continue to move forward. The hallway starts to twist and become deformed... The walls are stopped by protruding bricks. They still have forward motion, but soon they topple and fall, not close enough to smash either Bazyli or Shivad.
The quake ceases, Bazyli and Shivad sigh in relief.
"Right, their weakness is the fact that they are thin... if I had aimed my icicles higher... ah well, let's get moving."
Then the duo rushes down the hallway, rounds the corner and finds a staircase. Climbing the now winding staircase, Shivad asks Bazyli a question;
"So, why is a little boy like yourself down here in this blasted tomb?" while the pair of mages finally find a split in the path. They can either go up ANOTHER staircase, or they can go down a hall through a door that, with past experiences, most likely leads to a miasmal pillar room.

After looking at our possible escape routes, I decided:

"Alright, I think we should go upstairs! And Razuna, don't forget to take the contents of the Mimic if you can!"
Oh dear god what is that creature

"Why is this Tomb filled with such horrors?! Okay, we should probably go!"
I'll pick up Fureira and run up the stairs, whichever staircase the others decide to go up.
(oh, and nice noticing how I'm frustrated with not being very strong, seiromem. my healing spell just isn't as potent as it should be aghhh and I have almost no offensive power at all grrr (but that one's my own fault))
NeverSilent

Hey, we managed to get rid of the Mimic and the Titanium Terror. So, um... Yaaay...?

------------------

This is too much even for a seasoned mercenary. Zuko might be used to such horrors from living in the demon's realm, and being a paladin Wes probably has some experiences with such monstrous beings. But for me, shooting people's brains out is one thing - this is a different caliber.

As close to panicking as possible, I try hard not to breathe while running for the stairs. I don't pay attention to anything except getting there unharmed.


P.S.: Hm, I had expected Wes' healing spell to be more effective, now that it's upgraded. Edit: Never mind, apparently I can't read.
Still, I don't think Wes is useless at all - quite the opposite.
Seiromem
I would have more makerscore If I did things.
6375
The upgraded spell gained another effect, it did not get a boost in power.
The effect would be good in this situation should anybody who CAN move be injured.
Wes is a beast at protecting his friends. He's far from useless!

Go upstairs! I don't think going down is going to help us much.

"I was down here with my friends. Well, I guess... friend. I have no idea if they like me or not. The girl, Kairy, is extremely grossed out by me and I'm pretty sure my very existence is offensive to Zuko. Who knows what Razuna could be thinking? The only one of them I'm sure is my friend is Wes. B-but..."

I tear a little before continuing.

"Why did they let me die...?" I shake my head. That's not fair to them. Who could know if it was even possible to save me?

It must be confusing to die when you're a child, even more confusing when you die after most of the group seemed to be weirded out by you~ How's that for rping?

GOURD NO STOP I don't want these feelings bruh

Also I'm glad y'all think I'm helpful. I feel kinda useless when we get into a battle and I can't do anything other than wave my sword around and hope it does damage.
"Ok, it's time to leave"
I'll take the Blue Vial and proceed to the stairs with the others.

Being afraid it's fine, allowing fear to take control of you it's not.
And fear it's NOT going to take control of me!

I won't allow it.

Not again...

Edit: Don't worry Wes you're quite useful.

-------------------------Turn 81-------------------------
Wes picks up Fureira, Kairy turns and runs to the stairs, Razuna points to the ___ staircase and says "This way!"
So everyone runs and follows him!
4! 1! 3! 1!
Quickly dashing, everybody rush towards the ___ staircase! Zuko keeps a steady pace, but he turns at the sound of Wes and Razuna falling over themselves! Kairy is too focused on running to the staircase unharmed to help, and Zuko goes back to pick up the closest one to him, Wes.
The tentacles lash out at the party, but Kairy is already at the staircase before the tentacles can reach her.
1! 4! 2!
A tentacle constricts Zuko and Razuna! They squirm, grunt, 1! 3! and Razuna managed to break free just barely and cutting the tentacle with one of his gladius. Zuko is unable to free himself and is lifted up, ready to be dragge back to the creature, whose head is waggling furiously as drool pours out of it's mouth onto it's stomach. Wes yells "Kairy, drag Fureira to the stairs!" He yells as he looks to Zuko, who is desperatly squirming to be freed from it's grasp. Wes feels himself glow with urgency and duty, ampliefied by his Angelous bracelet... Wes charges at the tentacle, draws his sword and leaps, attempting to cut Zuko down from the tentacle.
4! Wes manages a strong leap, raises his sword in the air then comes crashing down on the tentacle, slicing it's flesh! The creature, who was previously drooling yowls as the tentacles retract. Kairy was halfway to Fureira when she saw Wes had distracted the creature.
"Let's get out of here, grab Fureira, and go!"
Kairy then rushes back to the stairs as Wes helps up Zuko, then they both run to Fureira. Razuna had already picked some of her up, and Wes takes over. Soon everyone is to the stairs and the creature regains it's senses.
It's entire body lurches forward and the head slams on the ground. It then slithers qith alarming speed towards the party, who flee up the stairs. The creature sends Spitwad of Doom up at them. Wes hands Fureira to Razuna and Zuko, pulls his shell chunk out, and 4! blocks the spitwad, but the chunk dissolves instantly.
"Let's not get hit by THAT!" Wes comments as the team makes it to the top of the stairs. They hear the roar of the creature behind them, relieved that they have delayed their demise to it.
Turns out they hadn't paid attention to WHICH stair they went up, and they had gone up the... Left Staircase! Don't worry, Razuna still picked up the Blue Vial.
The group sees a split in the path. The split leads to a room... there appears to be a wall, though it doesn't reach the ceiling. It seems like it's used as a sort of... palisade, though made of laid bricks. In front of the group is a another, curved palisade that looks to protect a door on the opposite side. A faint blue light shines on the space between these two palisades, though a shadow is cast in the middle, indicating another pallisade out of sight. A rat rushes into the light and is promptly zapped with a laser, turing it into a pile of ash. The shine of light disappears.
The second path is continuing up the stairs.
------------------------------Bazyli----------------------------------
Bazyli feels a lump in his throat before he answers, but he swallows it and replies "I was down here with my friends. Well, I guess... friend. I have no idea if they like me or not. The girl, Kairy, is extremely grossed out by me and I'm pretty sure my very existence is offensive to Zuko. Who knows what Razuna could be thinking? The only one of them I'm sure is my friend is Wes. B-but..."
Shivad places her hand on Bazyli's shoulder when Bazyli stops climbing up the stairs. A tear comes to his eye as he asks, more to himself, "Why did they let me die...?"
Quickly he shakes his head, realizing it wouldn't be fair to think they just let him die. Surely they would of done something if they could. Shivad makes sure to point this out. Her voice, instead of the usual confidence and playfulness, is soft and reassuring.
"I have no doubts they could do nothing to save you. From what you described to me, they probably couldn't even comprehend what was happening to you. Now, no more tears-" She says as she bends down and hugs Bazyli "We've got to find your friends and hope they haven't been eaten by Anathema. With haste!"
Bazyli was surprised by Shivad's sudden encouragement, but it gave him a slight comfort as he gained resolve to not allow his friends to die like he had. Would they even be able to come back to life like he had?
They reach the top of the stairs, and walk down the hallway. They enter a miasmal pillar room.
"Judging by how many stairs we've climbed, I'd say this is the first floor of the Highlander's tomb." Shivad states as she looks around.
There are three doors, one in the South, West, and East.
"Say, Bazyli, the one you said you know is your friend- Wes was his name?- anyways, how did you two meet?"
