THE HIGHLANDER'S TOMB (TEAM FORUM RPG)
Posts
Oh great and powerful one, why hath this topic been brought to the highlights of the realm it exists in? No really, why the sticky. I'm not complaining, just curious.
-------------------------Turn 102------------------------
Zuko charges up his Dark Fire! 4!
A flaming mass erupts from Zuko's palm and envelopes the three Ape-Wolves assailing him and Fureira! The resulting explosion leaves a small cloud of black dust.
Fureira looks at him funny, then says "Sometimes I forget you're even a demon."
The two ape-wolves Wes blocked get up, and Wes Smites one! 3! A holy light slams down on the Ape-Wolf! It's siphoned and weakened, and barely manages to crawl a few inches forward.
The second Ape-Wolf goes for another attack, and Wes 5! Blocks it again, staggering the wolf, who get's sliced in half by Razuna's Power Strike boosted sword, 3! slicing it's large front leg. The beast cannot retaliate.
Shivad Walks up to the two frozen Ape Wolves and Snaps, as the ice shatters, along with the ape-wolves. However Shivad is surprised by an Ape- Wolf that walked around the Ice Wall! 3! Kairy sees it coming, and sink a bolt into the creatures flesh, causing it to stagger. Shivad takes this opportunity to impale the creature in an icicle. The last Ape-Wolf flees in fear of it's dead comrades.
There's now 6 Ape-Wolf bodies left on the field.
The moon is almost below the horizon.

"That's strange. You don't seem to have full control, Higlander. You can't even read my every thought. I guess I'll have to think it really hard... I'm filthy. If you want me to stop resisting so hard, let's find a river for me to clean myself. I only need a few minutes to clean myself and I'll give in."
Bazyli requests, and the Highlander responds almost immediately.
"Tis true, I can't read all your thoughts. Your particular strength of spirit is astounding, and souls don't weaken or decay, only their vessels do, and since you have no control over this vessel, it holds no sway over you. Ah well, the body has healed, it's time to get moving."
Bazyli feels his body rise to it's feet, then continue running.
"Come on, I'm filthy, can we take a bath in a river?"
"There isn't time. Anathema grows restless and I need to calm her. I do hope the sight of her shocks and repulses you into submission. If it doesn't, well, that's all the more reason to keep you! Ah well, I think it's time you shelled back up, your whining is irritating."
With this, Bazyli feels another assault on his mind, and he shields himself.

Oh great and powerful one, why hath this topic been brought to the highlights of the realm it exists in? No really, why the sticky. I'm not complaining, just curious.
It is good to be finally recognized by the higher-ups on this site. :)
-----------------
After we defeated the wolves, I proceed to say to the group:
"Ok! Now that this has been taken care of, we should continue to look for the kid!"
Here are some sprites that I was going to use for my now cancelled game about this thing,
I wanted to show them to you guys because of reasons.




And as a bonus...Wes' dad.
----------
Yeah we should keep moving or something.

(Hm, Wes' dad (er, my dad? my character's dad? see this is why you shouldn't name your character after yourself) has a shorter beard. But other than that, he's surprisingly spot on!)
"Anyone hurt? If not, we should move on. I still can't believe he'd go fight it without us..."
"Anyone hurt? If not, we should move on. I still can't believe he'd go fight it without us..."
"I agree with Zuko. We've wasted enough time, let's go. We have a monster to kill and a kid to save."
I load my crossbow with an A-bolt, then move along with the rest of the group.

This has been quiet for a while... Does Gourd have to post an action, or this is because of the McBacon Jam?
-------------------------Turn 103------------------------
Kairy loads an A-Bolt into her crossbow and signals everybody to move out.
Moving along the cool fields, the tall grass glistens with dew as the sun rises over the horizon. Very soon a large rock formation juts out from the middle of the plains. There seems to be an entrance of some sort, with a small boy standing in front of it...
-------------------------Bazyli------------------------
Bazyli's mind shifts into another vision of the Highlander's memory.
Bazyli sees an elf, standing upon a mountainside, high above a forest of red leaves. He hears the elf speaking to himself.
"So deceptive is this beauty. To think it hides the yearning, heaps of waste that inhabit it. The parasites take from it, drain it, and then leave it's carcass to rot! They don't deserve to have this world! I deserve this world! All it's splendor shall be for me, and me alone! The virus that plagues it shall be destroyed!"
With this, Bazyli is yanked from the memory and pulled into his body by the presence. He is in full control, but the presence remains.
"I am not here. You are fine. There is no trouble. They will not know I am here."
the presence commands, and Bazyli feels like a part of his mind is locked.
He feels his speech being impaired whenever he thinks of the presence, the highlander.
Then, from the distance, he hears a cry of joy, as a familiar voice yells.
"Bazyli, there you are!"
He turns around to greet the voice when Shivad sweeps him off his feet and hugs him.
"You stupid, stupid, arrogant little boy!" She cries
Wes walks up and concurs
"Bazyli, what on earth were you thinking!? I didn't take you with me to have you run off on your own!"
Kairy chimes in.
"You could have been killed, what were you thinking!?"
Bazyli is weary.

Alright! We're finally back in game!
---------------
When I saw Bazyli in front of that rock structure, I felt two things:
Relieved and confused. Relieved because we found him safe and sound, but also confused because of the mystery about what he could be doing in there. I ran into his direction and said:
"Oh, dear god! Here you are, kid! What were you trying to do? You could have got killed! ...In fact, what are you doing in this place now?"
As I said that, I started something strange on Bazyli. It was something like... Power. An abnormal ammount of power coming from inside of him. I did not talked because I still wasn't sure if it's correct and I don't even have a way to prove it, but I had the feeling that whatever was happening to Bazyli, it was definetly something wrong...

"Oh, dear god! Here you are, kid! What were you trying to do? You could have got killed! ...In fact, what are you doing in this place now?"
My eyelids flutter a bit and I put a hand to my face suddenly exhausted.
"What... exactly was I doing...?" I grimace.
I free myself from Shivad after a bit of struggling and sigh quietly. I withdraw deeper into myself, but mumble hoping they'll all hear me.
"You guys... what are you even talking about? I wouldn't...run away."
I look around and realize that's exactly what I did. "That's...weird... I must have a reason." I mumble even quieter like a mad man.
"I have to... go in here... probably..." I mumble. "Guys, come on..."
I stagger through the entranceway I was standing in front of.

I stagger through the entranceway I was standing in front of.
"...Bazyli? Are you alright? You seem very tired... That strange structure can wait, you should rest!"
I was already concerned for Bazyli's safety, and now... the way he's speaking and generally acting is having me even more concerned. Is he okay?
Seeing him move towards the entrance to the strange rock formation, I quickly step in front of it to block his way. Doesn't he realize how obviously exhausted he is? He's in no state to go looking around inside... whatever that is.
"Really, you should rest. Did something happen? Why do you need to go inside here anyway?"

"Really, you should rest. Did something happen? Why do you need to go inside here anyway?"
So I decided to tell the group:
"Guys, I think something is happening to Bazyli! I can feel a great ammount of power coming from him... I can't figure out what it is, but whatever it is, is a really strong one!"
FINE! I just wanted to feel special here... ;_;
EDIT: There! I edited my posts, and put my action above Gourd's post.
EDIT: There! I edited my posts, and put my action above Gourd's post.
Sorry guys, I wasn't at home during the weekend and had no time to access the internet. I'll edit in my actions into this message.
For a very short moment, I have to resist the urge to just hit Bazily in the face. Instead, I shout: "You stupid, stupid kid! You could have gotten yourself killed! Again! Do you have any idea how worried you had us all?! I regret we ever even brought you on this mission. Someone as crazy as you should be kept safe at home, not running around in the wilderness getting themselves ripped apart by monsters! Damn it!"
After a few deep breaths, I calm down again and say with a cold, stern voice: "We're not going to leave you out of our sight for a single second. And if you ever pull a stunt like that again, I'll drag you back to the village myself. You're a liability for this team, and I'm not letting you go on a suicide mission. Ever. Understood?"
Without waiting for Bazily to respond or even react, I step towards Wes and say in a tone that makes clear I'm not tolerating any protest: "Pick up the little runt and carry him on your shoulders. No more distractions, we've got a monster to slay. Follow me, everyone."
And while loading my crossbow with an Angelus Bolt, I walk past Wes and into the entrance.
What the others don't see is that as soon as my back is turned towards them, my face wrinkles and twists in agony. I hated myself for every single word I just said.
But I have to do what I have to do. Sentiments must not weaken us now. It's kill, or be killed. And I'm not going to let myself get killed.
Or Bazyli.

"What? But he needs to rest! Kai- where are you going?!
Razuna, you're following her? I want to slay the beast as well, but...
Ohhh, there's no point in arguing, is there? Are you sure you feel all right, Bazyli? Take a nap on my shoulders, if you can, I'll hold onto you! I won't drop you. Or, uh, bump your head into anything..."
I hoist Bazyli up onto my shoulders and reluctantly follow Kairy.
