THE HIGHLANDER'S TOMB (TEAM FORUM RPG)

Posts

Is it going to be aa page break? Well then I'll take it muhahahahaha

Also for the first three (you, me, and Zuko) that's pretty much how I imagined us! Though with Kairy and Bazyli, I imagined them slightly different...
I imagined Kairy like this, except... with a bit more clothing (who decided that the female Arbalists in EO3 needed to have such skimpy clothing). Really, it's mostly just because of the gigantic crossbow thing.



And as for Bazyli, I always imagined him as one of the playable main characters from Pokemon RMN Version! This guy right here just seems so fitting.
I have a strange feeling no one really cares.

Haha! Those depictions of Kairy are humorously... off. At least for me. This is (roughly) what I imagined Kairy to look like. I never thought of her as what you'd commonly call very beautiful, more as having quite rough features and fairly weather-beaten skin.


Also, wes, as much as Kairy would probably like to own a crossbow of that size, I doubt it would even be possible to carry such a gigantic thing around, let alone use it efficiently. About the outfit, well... No comment. ;)

I would have imagined Bazyli as much younger and not as bald. The very, almost creepily calm aura of that character certainly fits my mental image, though.
Whoa, Razuna is way hotter than Kairy.
The Kairy in my head was surprisingly a lot like the one in NeverSilent's head. Though I imagined Wes with really short blonde hair.

Bazyli is, in my mind, a pretty small child with cute features and unnaturally blue eyes. He wears all white and I definitely feel the uncanny calm aura. Good thing he's a good kid. Probably.

Also I got lazy with Zuko and I'm just like, "He can be a birdman demon thingy." My Razuna was pretty close to JJJ's mind as well.
@Gourd_Clae: Wow! Just because I have a bird avatar, you automatically label Zuko as a "birdman demon thingy"? Shame on you Gourd, shame on you... >:(

It seems that everyone here except Wes, imaginated Kairy with a ponytalil hair, but I really liked also your version of Kairy, Wes... >:D

P.S. : Also, where's seiromem? I hope I didn't made my action too hard for him to narrate...
Seiromem
I would have more makerscore If I did things.

Boo.

I'll remember this Wes. Oh, but I won't punish you now. Only far into the future will this act of aggression be punished, and when you ask yourself why you'll be filled with dreadful regret as you remember that one page break YOU STOLE FROM ME.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid.
---------------Turn 30---------------
Final Hour
---------------Zuko + Renae---------------
Zuko, about to chat up Renae says "Tell me, swee-" but he's cut off by The Contractor! "Final hour Zuko. Meet up with your team. NOW."
With that snap, The Contractor tells Renae "I'd suggest going back inside."
The Contractor walks towards the tomb's entrance.
"What an odd man, you know him?" Asks Renae.
"Yeah, the geezer is our funding for our excursion into the tomb. Too bad he's forcing us to go now. I'd of liked to spend some time talking."
"Ah, well, good luck then. Here, a gift from me." Renae hands you a rock marked with a purple glyph.
"It removes illusory walls, it has four uses. I hope you find great treasure!"
After their farewell, Zuko and Renae part ways and Zuko meets with Wes and Kairy in front of the tomb.
----------Kairy + Wes----------
As the guards approach, I tell them: "Arrest this thief, guards! The chump attempted to pick my pockets!"
"As the guards arrive they try to restrain the alleged thieves, only succeeding with the pickpocket.
"That girl almost killed me! Arrest her!"
"Folly! This scoundrel took one of my canteens, I had 5 and now I have four. Guess who has the other canteen? That thief!"
"Liar! I got this canteen from the innkeeper!"
"As did I!"
The debate would of gone on longer if the guard hadn't sighed an duct-taped the thief's mouth shut.
"Shut your trap. What a pathetic attempt." Is the guard's reply.
One of his subordinates said "Hey, how can you be so sure?"
"Oh please. Who honestly robs someone in broad daylight.
Now, let her be on her way, wherever that may be."
Wes, watching, walks towards Kairy and says 'Did they accuse you of theft? The nerve! You're far more righteous than that Kairy! Ah well, now what should we do?"
The contractor, surprisingly, answers this question.
"Final hour. Meet up with your team. NOW." With this snap, he wobbles off towards Zuko."
----------Bazyli + Razuna----------
"I think we should get going now." 3!
Walking back, they quickly make it out of the forest with their supplies.
They make it to the town center, where they meet up with the others.

Good night, and have a good discussion! Tomorrows the weekend, so I'll have plenty of time to do this.
"Oh, final hour, huh? I guess it's too late to get this wood used. We probably should get our stuff from the weapon and armor shop regardless.
(muhahahaha I HAVE NO REGRETS SEIROMEM pls don't kill me off ;_;)

"F-final Hour? What's that supposed to mean? Well... should go get our things from the Weapons and Armor shop and head to the Tomb?"
After saying goodbye to Renae, I decided to use the time I had left to go to the Weapons and Armor Shop with the group to retrieve our equipment and sell my Murkal Armor, after that I'll head direct to the Tomb... and to my fate...

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! XD
"At last."

I'll go to the armor shop and sell this stupid
Shredded Wimpy Leather Armor.

Tomorrows the weekend, so I'll have plenty of time to do this.


Yay! I'll have lots of time too! :D
Okay, I'll go to the Weapon/Armor Shop with everyone else. I'll take my shiny new Armor (assuming it's done), and if it is indeed done, then I'll sell my Pail Armor (because really, this big hole in it isn't going to help protect me in the least).
I'll just follow everyone else! I haven't much to do before we enter the tomb but... "I'm so excited. We're entering the tomb. Finally."

Of course I'm going to the weapon and armour shop, too. I still need my equipment! Oh, and I also fill the canteens with fresh water and distribute them among the team members.

I also think this would be a good time to use the Power Stones we have left. We'll need every advantage we can get. I suggest Bazyli and Wes should use them, since Bazyli is the most vulnerable and Wes is our tank, so he needs to be as tough as possible in order to protect us.


P.S.:

It seems that everyone here except Wes, imaginated Kairy with a ponytail hair

In fact, it even logically makes sense for her to have her hair like that. I mean, how would Kairy be supposed to aim with a crossbow if she constantly had her eyes covered by her hair, like the Arbalist from wes' picture? Think twice next time, creators of EO3. ;)

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

------------Turn 31------------


------------Everyone------------
To the Weap+Armor Shop!
After a short conversation the group heads off towards the armor shop.
All of them entering, Bazyli rushes up and rings the bell for service.
The shopkeeper enters through the door, sweat dripping off him, and asks "How can I help you? Oh! Your equipment of course. Since you've already paid I'll just distribute them quickly!
Walking back through the door and returning quickly with arms full of equipment, the shopkeeper gives the pieces to their respective owners.
Wes receives a Quartzine Armor Set!
Kairy receives a Ferall Leather Armor Set, 10 Quartzine Bolts and an Iron Hatchet!
Razuna receives a Ferall Leather Armor Set!
Zuko got the Balgroth Armor Set!
"That's everything you've asked for! Thanks for your business."
Kairy says "We're not done yet, we have some things to sell."
"Oh, of course, what are they?"
"Acid-hole Pail Armor, Murkal Scale Armor Set, Whelpfishscale Armor set, Wimpy Leather Armor, and Shredded Wimpy Leather Armor."
"Very well, I'll pay 130 CEIL for all of that."
With everything taken care off, Kairy heads off to the river and fill the canteens while the others go to the entrance of the tomb.
Once Kairy catches up, The Contractor gives some advice to the group.
"Tread quick and careful never staying in one place for longer than you need to.
Listen to the dead. They'll let you know of the mistakes they made. Now, whenever you're ready, the final hour is up."
Everyone Enters the tomb.
TO BE CONTINUED
The tomb itself is made of purple bricks. The entrance leads directly to a small staircase going down. Following it everybody soon enters into a small square room, lighted up with orbs in the corners. On the left wall is a carving of what looks like the grim reaper holding some sort of staff! On the right are five pedestals each with a bracelet looking thing of different colors on them.
One is Orange, one is white, one is black, one is purple, and the last is grey.
The wall these pedestals are next to has carvings that depict humans with rings around their necks, on their knees and apparently suffering.
If you were to move forward, the door is closed and imbedded with a glyph resembling chains. There are a few cobwebs and a leak in the top right corner.
The floor is cracked in a few places and a skeleton resides in the middle of the floor.
What do?

---------------------------------
Everyone has underclothing, so not wearing armor doesn't mean your naked.
You are practically naked to attack though! So equip up!

EDIT: Fixed the things I forgot!
Also, to answer Kairy's questions:
"Yeah, your appointment to get me my riches! You've spent far too long on the surface!"
"Once you go far enough in, there is no retreating back out. You'll have to go through all the way to escape."
"This place looks very ancient..."

I look at the walls.

"This carvings...what do you think they are supposed to represent?"

I say, now looking at Kairy or Bazily.
(Depends on who answers first)

@seiromem:
I think you forgot to add my newly bought quartzine bolts to my inventory. Also, what about my hatchet? I wanted a hatchet, dang it!

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

Before descending into the tomb, I meant to ask the Contractor: "What's with the hurry all of a sudden? We hadn't exactly finished all of our business in town yet. Do we have an appointment down there, or what?"
Then, sighing, I add, slightly calmer: "Are we at least allowed to retreat and come back to the surface in case something really bad happens?"


Of course, I equip my new armour right away after I discarded the old piece. Duh.

I respond to Razuna's question with: "I have no idea."
Then I proceed to investigate the leak in the top right corner. I watch out not to step on the skeleton.


Edit: Man, I hate that freaking Contractor!
After entering the tomb, I equip my Balgroth Armor and I start looking around...(seiromem, did you by chance remembered that I asked to firge that armor with Sanguine Crystal Shards?)

I see a skeleton in the middle of the room, and then, I remember the advice the contractor gave us. So I decide to go and attempt to talk to him... I also watch out for any traps, who knows if that skeleton didn't died at the same moment he stepped in that place...
I'll carefully check the bracelets.
I have my new armor already equipped, don't I? Well, I'll equip it if I don't have it on for some reason.

"Ah, finally in! Well, now what, then? We each have our separate goals in mind, but I don't think it would be wise to split up and do them all on our own, of course. I suppose we should just try to explore the Tomb, and see what we find. That Contractor said to listen to the dead, so should we... try talking to that skeleton? Um, how exactly would that work?? Can it talk, I mean, skeletons don't exactly have vocal cords. But perhaps it could speak to us through more mystical means? Well, either way, we should indeed go try to talk to it."

Edit: And yeah, CAN we exit the tomb and go back to town?
@NeverSilent: That makes us two Neversilent, that makes us two... (You know, about the contractor thing...)

@wildwes: No, we can't get out of here. seiromem said that there would be shops and blacksmith here... Altough not in the way we're thinking... And yes, Wes. I was just about to talk to the skeleton... Did you read my previous action before posting or you wrote your action somewhere else, copy-pasted it here, and then posted it?

By the way, seiromem: Despite what the contractor said, is there a safeplace here where the characters can relax, talk between themselves, and/or tell stories of adventures? Because it seems that we never get a rest here... :(
