The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[000Ronald]

Boss slapped his head. "Oh damn it. No. No, no, no, no, no. We're not here to take anyone's money. We need the actual train. Not the people on it, not anything else, just...the train." Boss gestured to where he was pretty sure the ship was. "We've got an airship, y'see, but it's broken, and we need metal to fix it. This?" Boss knocked the engine with his foot. "Exactly what we need."

 

[mcpop9]

Esia's eyes began to twitch. "So you need metal..." She began and pointed at Matt. "You're schitzofrenic," then pointed at Boss. "...And you're just an idiot. HELLO? LITTLE MISS MAGE HERE?!?" She shouted and took a second to recompose herself. "Ok, let me walk you through what's going to happen here. You're going to help me push the train, THE ENTIRE TRAIN, engine included into the station at town. Then, you're going to leave everything there and bring me back to the ship. When I get there, I'll learn to use a bit of alchemy to transmute piles of sand into iron for you guys... Ok?"

 

[000Ronald]

"Moving a 5 car train isn't a problem." Boss said. Looking to Matt, he said, "I'll come back and get you."

Smoothly, the train began moving again, at a steady 30 miles an hour. "Now...Eisa, was it? Are you sure you can transmute 50 tons of sand? And will it stay that way?"

Storm-178 (And

Alpha

)
Location: Desert.
Time: 12pm.

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

Spoiler: Breaking the fourth wall moment. (Non-cannon)

When the last post was updated on the page Storm could see the phrase, "Maybe Storm might join them?"
"Are you fucking kidding me. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DRUGS THEY FORCED INTO ME!" Storm yelled towards the screen and before the viewer could even think of a response.

"No, NO, you do not get a say in this. So shut up ... just please shut up." Storm placed a hand on his face before walking out of the edge of the screen.
"I'm going ... no, you can't stop me ... what?
I have a role to fulfill, this is what I think of your role!" Storm said as he somehow pulled out a flamethrower and started to burn the Indians surroundings him.

"You want to know what I think of this limp-dicked setting?" Storm said it was too late, the backdrop already burned away. Storm pointed towards them, "You better watch your back kid ... I'm about to perform a "Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe" ... spoiler, people die!" The spartan said as a walked off-screen whilst giving the bird. about to embark on his bloody massacre.

A sigh came from Storm as he saw the moment surround him.
He also had the feeling which he felt a long time ago.
It was when he was overlooking the spartan transformation in his training years.
In the facility he trained at he saw over thousands of people being injected more then 40 vials of unknown drugs.

It was the feelings of sympathy.
With these feelings Storm sighed, he started to burn ALL of the ivy so they may do this never again.
To stop this the superhuman also grabbed a giant sack of salt near on of the houses and poured it all over the ground where the embers burned.

The last feat he had performed was to throw all of the tribe's weapons over a nearby cliff, so that their weird drugged up nature could not turn violent. The spartan was not at the entrance of the village, "Well no more drugs for them ... and no weapons so that they can't harm anyone. Can you still find those two Alpha?"
"

[color=nvayblue]Not anymore ... we can go towards the location where I tracked them last?[/color]

"
"Better then staying him in this hippie ville."

Storm said lastly as he began walking into the desert once more.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

As Storm went to each tribal and took his or her weapon and threw it off the side of the Mesa, they began to wake up from their latest "Vision", all of them looking happy and content after their high.
One by one, they got up off the ground and made their way towards the produce hol-
"HEY!...THE BOTTOM-DWELLER STOLE ALL OUR WEAPONS!?" one of them shouted as he pointed to Storm throwing all the weapons off the cliff.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Veteran Child shouted, drool running down his chest and clearly not pleased with this.

 

[bluecrimson]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Now that there was a Break, Melethia immediately got to work at getting some of the ores that she recognized and some of the ones she didn't, using the labor from the imps there to expedite the process. "Make sure to get the best grade Iron here, 'cause this'll be the only time here!"

A core group of the skilled Imps went off to warp the barrels of the chain gun while it wasn't being used, implementing small changes to the shape of the barrels that would cause the barrels to jam almost instantly.

Devon, Cadolbolg

He looked over at Cadolbolg and patted him on the head. "Yeah, that's the basic principle of it. If you need help with this kind of thing, you can ask me for a bit of help."

Another look at the borders of the mirror reminded Devon of the Mirror of Erised from the Harry Potter series. He'd read the series quite a few times, so it was something that stuck. However, said glimpse may have activated the mirror...

Rugal, Slindis

The Elemental that Rugal Slammed into the stalactite would have normally just fused with the stone, but the Ki involved with the slam ensured it felt the slam as if it were a humanoid, and thus went back to the Plane of Earth. Meanwhile, Slindis worked through the elementals to get straight to the Mages in the back delivered strikes that tore through a small group of them.

One thing to note that taking out the mages also took out the Elementals.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Jenny watched as the imps cleared out entire sections of the mine-walls hunting for the massive amounts of Ore, grabbing a large supply of several different mined materials.
As they did, she heard something: someone talking.
[sub]"-See? I told you this place was going to pay off. And to think you doubted me."[/sub]
"What was that?....Mmmm..." she asked herself before wandering off, following the source of the voices.

A small walk later brought her over a large chamber with tons of Ores of different kinds all in the same place
"Still can't believe this is actually working to be honest, Steve, I mean, I understand fencing, sure, but this is something else..." The Outlaw said as he handed a small bag of gold coins to the one known as Steve.
"Just takes some alchemy and a few greased palms..." Steve said as he took the coins over to his his Alchemy Table along with a few big rocks.
Jenny watched from afar as Steve reverted the Gold back into Gold Ore before dumping it in a Minecart next to several other pieces of rare Ore.
"And Boom. Like that Armed Robbery never happened...Talk with Notch in the office about your payment, You know the way out." He said as Jenny pieced this together: Steve was in league with some Robbers who stole Metal, Gold and other mineable goods, Which he was then process back into Ore before selling them to businesses in his "Wonder Mine".
"...That...is actually kind of clever..." She said as she went to back track to the others.

And ran straight into a pair of Miners.
"....Oh.....Hi?....." She nervously laughed as they advanced on her.
Guys, There is a slig-OOOF!.... she managed to send before getting punched in the face.

 

[Moros]

"I'll show you schizophrenic when I split your head open like a melon," Matt mumbled to himself as the train left. He brought up solitaire on the main screen and started playing. "So tell me Dea, why do you haunt this mortal world?" Matt asked her without looking away from the screen.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Devon, Cadolbolg

The Mirror glowed as it reacted to Devon's thoughts.
The glow then faded before revealing Devon reading a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
The reflection then looked at Devon before smirking and throwing the book though the mirror at his feet.
Just by looking at the mirror, He made it give him what he wanted.
Thus the reflection folded his arms and stared at the Bard, a coy smile on his face.

Rugal, Slindis

On Rugal's end of the fight, he managed to get up close and personal with one of the attacking Gnolls, grabbing it by the head before plunging a Slashing Aura fist though it's chest.
Without checking to see if it was dead, he then lifted the body up and threw it at the nearest enemy he could sense,
Once he was done, he brought up another "Dark Barrier!" and braced himself for any incoming arrows.

 

[bluecrimson]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Fortunately for Jenny, the Imps that Devon had sent there to help the group had been told to keep Jenny safe. Judging by the 4 small hooked spears through the gut of each one, the Imps hadn't forgotten that order. The others should be on their way, but as it was requested, we will keep you safe.

Meanwhile, Melethia got the message as the last of the considerable stock was placed in her bags, making her much more able to craft items now. "Weapons free, sis. If it's not one of the shorties or Miss Jenny, take 'em out. They won't be as nice to ya." She pulled out the Screaming Hammers, well suited to the somewhat close quarters combat down here.

Sadei chatted to Teri, more than ready to fight with her partner. Just let me help in any way I can, Teri. I'm sure I can find a way! Even if Teri didn't actually swing her in the combat, she'd try to provide a magical support to her.

Devon, Cadolbolg

He picked up the book, realizing what the mirror had done. It probably couldn't help Cadolbolg with his insecurities or helping him start making more things better...

Rugal, Slindis

The scent of the completely charred Ivy Weed and the other things up top could actually be smelled from here, which was a bad sign considering how deep they were in. The gnolls wereat once panicked at the losses and sedated by the scent. It was a testament to the pair's fortitude and will that they were able to ignore the intoxicating effects, and the lack of focuscaused the elementals to dissipate as well.

[color=c20000]"Rugal, wasn't there the possibility of the ingredient being deeper in here? If we're going to check for it, we'd better do so quickly."[/color]

Storm

Alpha's check told her that the pair was somewhere deep in the mesa, although it was odd for her to find this information about them considering there shouldn't be any trackers on them. The only thing the two shared was a ring on the ring finger, although the fact that Slin's ring was on her right hand made it clear they weren't a married couple.

 

[mcpop9]

"Because you can see me." Dea said rather simply and coldly, a bit oddly vauge and non descriptive.
[hr]
"Well, sure it'll stay that way. Transmutation is the reconfiguring the electrons, protons and neutrons to form new elements and compounds. It cannot reconfigure itself as it is stable in its natural state. But yes, my name is Esia."
[hr]

 

[bluerocker]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Just let me help in any way I can, Teri. I'm sure I can find a way!

[color=0E59E4]"I bet you can, buddy! But first, we need to fortify Garm and Mel! They're going to be on the frontline, after all!"[/color]

Teri already begun to chant up Shield of Faith, a piece of parchment appearing and disappearing quickly before Teri tapped her younger sister's shoulder, a familiar shimmer of protection washing over the elf,

Teri casts Shield of Faith on Melethia! Melethia gets a +3 Deflection modifier to AC; which appears as a shimmery field of force around her, making attacks having a harder time connecting! It will last for 7 minutes!

24 seconds till another level 1 spell can be cast.

As she waited for the recharge to finish, Teri took her stance with Sadei, and began charging a Reppuken in case an angry miner appeared, the medium blue energy beginning to crackle in her hand as the girls began edging their way around the cave. Garm kept his vigil in the cave as well, nose sniffing heavily for anything that wasn't already a part of this mini-pack.

Devon, Cadolbolg

Cadolbolg tapped a nose against the mirror in curiosity, wondering how it made a book appear for Devon. "I wonder if there was something special about Friend Devon's book..? Or is it a mirror of books?"

Flapping his wings a little, Cadolbolg hovered in front of the inscription for the mirror and then looked back at the thing blocking their way out. Going back to the mirror, he thought to himself, "What would let us go forward?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Jenny was nursing her nose after being stuck like that, starting to get annoyed with how jumpy everyone on his realm seemed to be.
"What the hell are you doing here!? This here is private property!" One yelled as he brought up his Pickaxe, The other mimicking him.
"'Ol Steve don't like nosey bitches!" He said as he went to attack.
Before Jenny could process this, the Imps flocked in to her rescue, gutting them while the others arrived.
"Hey, Larry, what's goin-....LARRY! GET THEM!" Shouted some re-enforcements.

Garm took down one while Melethia dispatched the other while Teri took down another hapless Miner rushing to the scene with her Reppuken.
Jenny picked herself up, blood dripping from her nose.
"Ughhh...Thanks. Listen, I found out why this place has so many ores..."

As she explained, Steve was about to make Sliver Ore until the sounds of a fight (Namely the Screaming Hammers) reached him.
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE?!" He shouted, convinced his men were just arguing over something meaningless again.
Still, for the sake of safety, he pulled out his Diamond Sword as well as his Revolver and went to check it out.

On top of that, it also alerted other nearby Miners, though most of them were still fighting over guns topside.

Devon, Cadolbolg

The second Cadolbolg thought that, a mirror image of him holding a key appeared.
Giving a smile and a wink, he threw the key to the ground underneath the little dragon.

Rugal, Slindis

Rugal smelt the strange smell of burning leaves first, reminding him slightly of tobacco.
When the Gnolls retreated, he taunted "That's right! Run!".
The smell seemed to get stronger as Slindis asked her question.
"...Yes...But...I smell burning...and grass..." He said, feeling his heart rate slow down a lot faster then it normally did after a fight.
"Go on...Before those things come back..." He said, starting to feel relaxed somewhat by the smell of this burning grass.

 

[Moros]

"Not gonna push that subject then. Alright I got a different question for you. If somebody used telepathy or some such bullshit on me, do you think they would be able to see you through my eyes?" Matt asked her this time.

 

[bluecrimson]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

The eight imps chittered once, and the others in the mine placed tools haphazardly throughout the mine's tunnels, having them in just the right positions to thin out the numbers. In addition, they had ensured that the ammunition had been removed from any person they'd disarmed and rearmed.

Melethia heard the shout in the distance and replaced the larger hammer for her kukri, [http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee403/TajuhDDO/ScreenShot00021_zpse5072903.jpg] slicing through the nearby miners like butter. "Get the boss!" She took the moment of surprise of those having guns not having any ammo to take them out instantly.

Devon, Cadolbolg

Devon patted Cadolbolg on the shoulder. "Good thinking, Little Dragon! That key might get us through the door down that way, so would you like to give it a try?" He walked alongside Cadolbolg to the oddly plain door, not wanting to be tempted by the mirror.

Rugal, Slindis

Slindis smelled the smoke and walked, more than a bit pertubed at Rugal's reaction. The most it could really do to her was increase her focus slightly from her slightly more calm state, but it was nothing detrimental. [color=c20000]"Focus, Rugal! We need to find that Ivy, and if that scent's right, the stock up top's been burned down!"[/color]

 

[mcpop9]

"I don't know. I exist because you can see me. It might be in your mind, or only to your soul." She responded to him. Then the girl poked him again. "Can we go play DDR?" she asked coldly with her monotone voice.

 

[StormShaun]

Storm-178 (And

Alpha

)
Location: Desert.
Time: 12pm.

Storm, People of the Land of Clouds

"Do me a favor and get off that stuff. Then you can go get your weapons." Storm turned around suddenly and pointed at him with one of the ivy plants. "I'll be holding onto this BUT ... Drugs are bad, m'kay." He smiled to himself inside his helmet as he made a reference. "

[color=nvayblue]We should get out of here now.[/color]

" Alpha said as Storm placed said Ivy inside his pouch.

"I'm going to jump."
"

[color=nvayblue]You forgot?[/color]

"
"About what?"
"

[color=nvayblue]Ugh, why do you do things the hard way.[/color]

"

Storm's suit began to morph, well it just seemed that some of the metal plating began to move to reveal several jets across his body.
Familiar music began to blast out of the armor.

(This was really needed for this part)

"Oh right, I forgot I had the flight ability."

Jumping off the cliff the jets were activated and Storm flew once again.
If he had remembered this it would of made the past couple of hours a whole lot easier.
Anyone in the area could see the figure start to fly.
Storm flipped off the chief as he looked back. "I am a spartan, a man who has fought all over the stars!" He yelled to himself before flying off ... but to where?

 

[000Ronald]

Boss nodded. "Fantastic. That solves that problem. Thank you. We...clearly we were desperate."

A few minutes later, the train skidded into the station. "Shall we go?"

 

[bluerocker]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Teri has used a Class 3 Reppuken. 12 seconds before the next level 3 spell.

Calling Garm to her side again, Teri began chanting up a spell while the wolf pulled off guard duty, and called out, [color=0E59E4]"Aid us, Shelob, in this time of need!"[/color]

When she pointed at a spot ahead of her, a spider of ice appeared, jaws clattering and legs shuffling in anticipation for it's Mistress' orders...

Teri casts Conjure Ice Construct 2 and summons Shelob the Medium Ice Spider! Shelob will stick around for 7 rounds, or 42 seconds!
24 seconds till the next 2nd level spell...

Teri directed the spider towards the nearest attacking miner, and the creature sped off into the dark, ready to bear down hard on the offending party.

Devon, Cadolbolg

As they wandered to the door, Cadolbolg called over his shoulder to the mirror, "Thank you!" and waited quietly to see what would happen next....

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Melethia, Jenny, Teri, Sadei

Steve walked into a massive fight scene breaking out in the mineshaft just above his alchemy lab, his jaw nearly detracting from his skull when he saw the Imps, the Massive Wolf and now a spider made of ice.
"What...The...Fuck?..." He said as he realized he gave away his position to the lot of them.
"So...Think you're a bunch of heroes, huh?...I'll teach you to butt in!" He said before pulling out a Splash Potion of Invisibility and smashing it at his feet, causing him to seemingly disappear.
He then began throwing Splash Potions of Weakness (Debuff to Attack) and Harming (Instant Damage) at the heroes, running around as he did in a bid to make it impossible to hit him.

Notes:

The Invisibility is a Alchemy Brew, non-magical
The Potions of Weakness and Harming CAN be avoided.

Devon, Cadolbolg, Caim, Angelus, Ton Ton, Kalastryn
After getting past all the puzzles, the group managed to meet up again in a central hallway leading to a large open Chamber, Littered with bones and gold coins.
From the looks of things, something made the victims turn on each other at the last second as they tried to open the chest that their remains covered.
The lock was even half open!

Something wasn't right here, but it would seem that the chest held the Crystal.

Rugal, Slindis

Rugal attempted to shake off what was coming over him as they reached what appeared to be the "Residence" of the Gnolls that plagued them, most of them in a strange half awake/half asleep state as white smoke filled the cave from Storm's purge of mostly-legal highs.
Nonetheless, Slindis managed to find some of the strange Ivy in their stores as Rugal kept watch over the passed out Gnolls.
Rugal however was starting to feel the effects of the drug, his senses starting to become muddled.
"Whoa....What...is that?...*Slap!*" He said to himself before hitting himself in a attempt to clear his head.

StormThe Tribals looked on gobsmacked at the nerve of the Bottom-Dweller as he flew away, taking away the sole reason for them to be here as well as stealing all their weapons which, due to the fact that they were a isolated tribe on top of a huge Mesa, they needed to fight the local wildlife and hunt.
Veteran Child especially wasn't amused.
"....THUNDAJA!" He shouted as he cast the Spell of the same name, causing massive bolts of lighting to try and strike down Storm.
This was followed by the more skilled warriors and hunters doing the same.

While his suit was able to absorb the energy of a few lighting bolts, the sheer amount of electric rage in the sky sent his armor critical as it tried to deal with the massive influx of energy.
Eventually, a bolt from the Elder managed to hit him in the back, overload his systems and caused him to spin out of control, much to the delight of the Pro-Legalisation crowd.
At this point, it was just a question of if he'd hit the ground or the cliff face.
