A Modest Proposal

[zmflavius]

The Vampire is scorched slightly but easily fells the fire elemental.

He hits through the blessing and sAAAKKKHHHSSS YOUR BLAAAAHHHHHDDDD!

[thingirl]

Except that nobody had noticed that Myrenne had really just wasted blessing by making an Illusion of herself and having it advance.

[zmflavius]

The vampire looks confused.

[thingirl]

(I ♥ SCJ)

They try to use SM to restrain him, then Alanne uses Dectruction to break his spine and snap his neck.

[zmflavius]

(I ♥ SCJ)

They try to use SM to restrain him, then Alanne uses Dectruction to break his spine and snap his neck.

He's still alive...barely.

[thingirl]

Alanne rubs Rithwyra's Luck Coin all over her SSL, and some of it comes off on the blade. While the others hold the vampire down, Alanne decapitates him with her blade coated in silver.

(The coin is made of Silver. "This small, round, silver token (aptly described as a coin) is devoid of any markings.

The coin, which Rithwyra has said will help to bring you good fortune, glitters quite unnaturally.")

[zmflavius]

It dies and melts into dust.

Ln remarks,

"That was tedious."

[thingirl]

"Yeah, I know," Alanne replied. "Hey, those guards had to have a way to get in, right? Let's go back to the other cell. I'll wach the door while we all get some rest."

[zmflavius]

"But the door's open..."

[thingirl]

"Well, I guess-"

"Sissy, are you getting tired?"

"NO! Ln, you're right, let's go. Now."

[zmflavius]

You walk out. You see that most of the cells hold demons. Wait, not demons...












Actually never mind. The cells don't hold insolent impertinents. They hold demons. Vicious, brutal, snarling demons.

[thingirl]

"Hey, Ln, that deceitful carverclaw's master is you brother, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any idea what he could be up to?"

[zmflavius]

"Actually, they're friends. And...I think he maybe just wanted us out of Zmflavius's way. Whatever he's doing, we'd probably be trying to stop it."

All of a sudden, you feel colder. You realize that the demons imprisoned here are draining your NV...

(Every two posts you make, you lose 5 NV)

[thingirl]

"We have to get out of here first."

Alanne attempts to open a portal to the outside of the castle, while Myrene tries to Divine the quickest path out of the dungeon.

[zmflavius]

A gate opens.

Guards cover all the exits.

[thingirl]

They all jump into the portal. Once they fall out, Alanne closes the portal so they can't be followed.

(Do they still lose NR? They're not in the presence of the demons.)

[zmflavius]

No.

And you find yourself outside the prison.

[thingirl]

(:))

Alanne attempts to divine where they are.

[zmflavius]

Outside of Crown Keep. The area around is empty except for some scattered crypts.

[thingirl]

She sees if she can tell if their horses are alive or not (Divi/Necro).

[zmflavius]

They've been kept in Nekross and are in Gauldoth's Personal Stable.

[thingirl]

"Of course."

"What?"

"Stormgait is alive."

"That's not-"

"And in Gauldoth's Personal Stable."

"Oh."

(About how much NR does Alanne have left? She's wielding Trielra's Staff and has MR 175, SP 188, NR 47.)

[zmflavius]

45.

[thingirl]

Alanne atempts to open a portal into the stables.

[zmflavius]

It's too far away.

[thingirl]

"Dang it."

How close does she need to be and about how far away are they?

[zmflavius]

She would have to be...oh maybe within a 250 meters and in a suitably safe location.

And she's around 150 kilometers away.

[thingirl]

Wow. 149,750 M (149.75 KM) too far. And if they all combine powers?

[zmflavius]

That still won't work.

[thingirl]

Grr.

"Well, then, I guess we should start walking..."

"Don't you think we should stop that ZmFlavius like Ln said?"

"If Stormgait wasn't an issue, then yes. And I'm sure Usagi and Ln want their horses too."

[zmflavius]

"So...where to?"

[thingirl]

"Well, our horses would be nice, but..."

"We have to stop your brother. And I know how annoying siblings can be..."

"Hey, Myrenne, which one of us actually got us out of that prison cell?"

"The same one who got us in."

"So, Ln, how do you think we should go about getting to your brother?"

[zmflavius]

"Do you recall how Theodorus got us to this world?"

[thingirl]

"So... We're stuck. Unless..."

"No, sis that won't work. We should try to find Theodorus."

"Fine, whatever." She uses Divination to attempt to locate Theodorus.

[zmflavius]

It's blocked. Hmmm...

All of a sudden, Ln gets an idea.

"I think I know where he might be. He was kidnapped by elves, right?"

[thingirl]

"Either that or he ran away. Let's say yes."

(Gaah, I know what to do when/ if we find him, but I can't do it because it's copying out of Hobbit!)

[zmflavius]

"I think...where can we find a map?"

[thingirl]

"Umm... Maybe I can divine one?"

"Why don't we try this enchanted map and see if it works."

[zmflavius]

Hey...it works!

Unfortunately, it's in another foreign language.

You examine the map. Ln points at a region labeled Altara.

"The elves definitely came from here."

[thingirl]

"It looks like we can follow the lines to get there. *sigh* Let's go."

[zmflavius]

"So...should we go by sea or land? Sea's 'probably' faster, but if we go by land, we'll pass by Nekorrum. And it's safer."

[thingirl]

"Land, I guesss."

"Hold on- Can I blame you when you all get killed?"

"Myre, you can blame me, but not Ln or Usagi. But then again, you can't because we'd all be dead."

"Or undead. Anyway, let's go by land. Usagi?"

"Land."

[zmflavius]

Ln leads you southward. Suddenly, you see a cloud of dust ahead of you.

[thingirl]

Alanne divines what's in it.

(BTW, I just read chapter 488. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D I knew it :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D (see page 16))

[zmflavius]

(Yeah, me too. Sasuke's new eyes = climatic difficult fight)

Lots of soldiers.

[thingirl]

(Yeah, and Naruto's right that he's the only one who can fight him. :D:D:D Yay, Tsunade-Sama :D:D:D)

They hide.

[zmflavius]

They pass by and leave you alone.

[thingirl]

"That could have been bad."

"Yeah. Let's keep going."

[zmflavius]

You come upon a street sign:

Nekross: South
Vitross: South
Tribal Border: West

[thingirl]

"Tribal Border? Huh?"

Myrenne takes out the map, even though she can't read it.

[zmflavius]

Ln examines the map.

"The western border would be somewhere next to..."

She examines the poorly drawn border.

"What the hell? Barbarbarus?"

[thingirl]

"Barbarbarus?" The sisters said together.

[zmflavius]

"Yeah, that's the country to the west."

[thingirl]

"Is there something we should know about it? You seemed surprised to see it."

[zmflavius]

"They're not really barbarians. To most people."

[thingirl]

"Most people?"

[zmflavius]

"Well...people who used to be allied with Krewlodd. As in, Neo-Krewlodd. It's all politics anyways."

[thingirl]

"That's worse. *cough* *cough*"

"Myre, you OK?"

"Yeah, *cough* I'm fine."

"No, you're not. We have to get you to a doctor."

"NO! *cough* All of them down here are reformed anyway, they have to much health to care about me." She begins to use Restro on herself and immediately stop coughing.

Alanne spoke, "Anyway, distractions aside, Ln, do you think it best we continue south and try to pick up our horses along the way?"

[zmflavius]

"Yeah, that's what I think too. So long as we don't run into rednecks in a lynch mob quacking republican slogans. We have too many of those."

[thingirl]

(Hey! Attack the healthcare bill, not the person who brings it up. And we should probably drop the subject now.)

"All right then. Let's go."

[zmflavius]

(That's probably the best way to defuse my stinging rebuke to anti-healthcarists, tea partyists, and...um...southerners)

The road gets more crowded as you near Nekorrum, but you notice a large convoy of wagons with their contents hidden.

[thingirl]

(OK. Pretend I never said anything.)

Alanne tries to divine what's in the wagons.

[zmflavius]

(I also believe Ben Bernanke saved America, Obama's the best thing to have happened to America in 8 years, the stimulus was a wild success, and...we need to stay in Afghanistan and clean up the screw-up the republicans made of it)

Gasp! They're filled with corpses!

[thingirl]

(IDK who Ben Bernanke is, but I looked him up on Wikipedia (barely scanned it) and if he was appointed by Bush, he can't be that bad. #s 2 and 3, no comment because if I did comment, I have a feeling that they'd all be on one of those wagons. As for the last one... me too, actually.)

"Ick."

"What?"

"You don't want to know."

How far are they from the stables?

[zmflavius]

(Ben Bernanke masterminded a ton of Obama recovery programs)

Much closer, but not close enough to gate.

[thingirl]

(In that case, you -err- do not agree with me. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Uh-huh :vicious head nod: Except for your war views, those that you've said I like.)

"Dang it."

"What?"

"Nothing. Keep walking."

[zmflavius]

You continue going southward when you finally reach a town, called Gort. Here, you learn you can get a high-speed caravan to take you to Nekorrum, for a small fee in gold, and so long as you don't mind sitting next to zombies and skeletons.

[thingirl]

"What do Y'all say?"

"'Y'all'?"

"You say it too, Myrenne. But, anyway, what do you all think?"

"I don't like it, but if it saves time..."

"I'm with Myrenne."

"OK. Coaching with undead sounds like the best way. And I can... umm... insure our safety if things get rough. What do you say, Ln?

[zmflavius]

"Huh, yeah."

However, at the coach station, you see that the place is crowded with undead and demon soldiers.

The harried (human) officer directing troops gives you a glance and remarks,

"We're still transporting people, but there's no guarantee you'll get a spot, due to the new war-time mobilization. Even if you do get a spot, you'll probably be surrounded by undead, demons, crates, or corpses."

[thingirl]

"Oh. Thanks anyway. I believe we should help the war by making space for the soldiers." They walk away.

[zmflavius]

So...now what?

[thingirl]

"What was that for?"

"I panicked. Anyway, *sigh* let's keep walking."

[zmflavius]

You arrive at a large lake. You recall that Nekorrum was near a similar lake.

[thingirl]

Is Alanne colse enough to Gate into the stables?

[zmflavius]

Nope.

[thingirl]

Alanne divines if they're close to Nekorrum or not.

[zmflavius]

Yes, very close, just not close enough to gate.

[thingirl]

They head towards the town.

[zmflavius]

Right or left?

[thingirl]

Umm, left.

[zmflavius]

You travel down a worn road until you finally reach the outskirts of Nekorrum.

[thingirl]

Alanne divines just to be completely sure their horses are still alive and useable.

[zmflavius]

Yes, they are.

[thingirl]

Alanne (hopefully) gates to their horses.

[zmflavius]

Alas, I think the GM mentioned that Gating isn't used for travel because it's unstable and unreliable. Even here, only the most skilled mages practice gating and then only under (mostly) secure conditions.


You gate into the caravan station within Nekorrum right as several hundred undead creatures stepped off the carts and ran into you.

[thingirl]

They run.

[zmflavius]

The undead creatures glance around, wondering what's happening. Then the yelling caravan master sets them on you.

[thingirl]

Alanne divines the direction of the stables, then runs towards them.

[zmflavius]

You see several Champion Guard members ride from that direction.

[thingirl]

They turn around and run in the direction that has the least amount of solders.

[zmflavius]

That area has dozens of zombies.

[thingirl]

They run there anyway.

[zmflavius]

The zombies try and stop you.

[thingirl]

Alanne attempts to smite some of the closest ones with Necromancy. Then she takes a chance and whistles for Stormgait, who she hopes will break free and rescue them.

[zmflavius]

Unfortunately, there's too many troops for that.

And several zombies fall, but in the crowded city streets, they're difficult to move.

[thingirl]

(do you mean it's hard to move?)

They try to slip into the crowd using Thievery.

[zmflavius]

(Yeah, that's what I meant)

It's a bit difficult when the crowds are all undead soldiers.

[thingirl]

Grr. What's the street made of?

[zmflavius]

Cobble.

[thingirl]

(Sorry for not posting sooner. I thought I had.)

Alanne summons an air elemental to lift them over the heads of the soldiers.

[zmflavius]

A skeletal dragon suddenly flies by and assaults the elemental.

[thingirl]

Myrenne and Usagi try to use Necromancy on the dragon.

[zmflavius]

It roars in pain but survives to attack the elemental (honestly it's a dragon).

Oh and it has 190 MR, and 225 total SP. It has 153 left.

[thingirl]

(Just saw you siggie. "Come to Runeskin, he has cookies..." LOL!!!!!!!)

Alanne releases the elemental, but Myrenne summons another one. Alanne uses her Finger of Dread on the dragon, while Usagi hits it again with Necromancy.

[zmflavius]

This time, the dragon falls back, and then breaks apart.

[thingirl]

The elemental takes them to the stables.

[zmflavius]

Arrows fly up from the ground, peppering you and the elemental.

[thingirl]

Alanne uses Fortifaction to block them.

[zmflavius]

You deflect them all. Then, you notice the stables, which are heavily guarded.

[thingirl]

Alanne divines to seeif she can locate exactly where Stormgait and the other two horses are. (A and M share Stormgait.)

[zmflavius]

In the middle part, where most of the guards are.

[thingirl]

How long does it take for Alanne to open a portal?

[zmflavius]

Maybe...a few seconds.

[thingirl]

"Hey, Ln, how does you horse do with portals?"

[zmflavius]

"Well enough."

[thingirl]

"OK then. Myre, land us in front of our horses."

"WHAT?"

"You guys fend off the guards while I open a portal to get us out of here. Then we flee."

"It's not me fault when we all die." She lands them and dismisses the elemental to help fend off the guards.

[zmflavius]

You land on a crowd of undead and demons.

This is mainly because you accidentally set off the portal 4 feet too high.

[thingirl]

(we do have our horses, right?)

Alanne sets up a barrier around them, and re-kills any enemies inside of the barrier.

[zmflavius]

Nope. You have to get to them.

[thingirl]

Usagi divines where their horses are.

[zmflavius]

To the west, around 10 paces away, blocked off by a crowd of soldiers.

[thingirl]

Myrenne helps her sister expand the barrier to include the horses. Usagi blasts the soldiers with Destruction.

[zmflavius]

The barrier contains you, the horses, and is surrounded by undead.

[thingirl]

Are there any undead inside the barrier?

[zmflavius]

Not anymore.

[thingirl]

(Ok, last use of gating travel 'till I get my braces. Hold me to it.)

Usagi leads the horses over to where the sisters are. Then she opens a portal to somewhere outside the city and leads the horses in. Lnflavia jumps is, then Myrenne follows, and finnialy Alanne drops the barrier and jumps. Once they all fall out, Usagi makes sure to close the portal.

[zmflavius]

Didn't you remember how unreliable gating is? You land on the undead barracks roof.

[thingirl]

That's etter than I expected, actually.

Alanne summons an air elemental to get them away from the city.

[zmflavius]

Arrows fly up towards you.

[thingirl]

Usagi put up a Fortification barrier.

[zmflavius]

They bounce off, meanwhile, more skeletal dragons approach.

[thingirl]

How close are they to the edge of town?

[zmflavius]

You're still near the middle.

[thingirl]

Are the dragons encircling them or coming from one general direction?

[zmflavius]

Most are coming from one direction but quite a few have broken off from the main group to encircle you.

[thingirl]

Alanne tries to make the elemental out run the dragons. Myrenne and Usagi make more air elementals to try to distract the dragons that broke off.

[zmflavius]

Some dragons are delayed, but you notice that the elemental is only slightly faster than the dragons, and it's carrying you as well.

[thingirl]

Are there any roads that are (mostly) free of undead?

[zmflavius]

Nope, none near you.

[thingirl]

Myrenne sets them down and they mount their horses and ride for it. Alanne also summons a dozen more elementals.

[zmflavius]

I meant no roads free of undead.

[thingirl]

You shouldda said that. Alanne ga- wait. It's not Wednesday yet. Dang.

Usagi each summons two elementals. Ln and her horse get on one (by way of Alanne's Telekenesis), and Usagi and her horse get on the other. Alane then takes control of Ln's elemental. Then the three elementals go faster.

[zmflavius]

There are too many dragons, unfortunately. You begin to run low on NV as you're completely surrounded.

[thingirl]

How much NR is "beginning to run low"?

[zmflavius]

Actually, nvm.

[thingirl]

NVM what, the whole post or just the running low part?

[zmflavius]

Running low.

[thingirl]

Well then, they dismiss the elementals. Usagi blasts (Destro and Necro) away the undead from where they'll land, and then Alanne uses Elementalism to make a hole that they land in. Then Usagi and Myrenne cover them all with a Fortification barrier.

[zmflavius]

Undead run around searching for you. They run several times over the barrier but don't notice your hole.

[thingirl]

Alanne uses a Elementalism/Telekinesis combo to move dirt from below them to above them, thereby sinking them to 4 feet below the ground. Then she begins to make a tunnel by the same means heading towards the edge of town. Usagi takes complete control of the Fortification barrier, but asks Ln to help her. Myrenne helps Alanne (she takes the Tele part).

[zmflavius]

The tramp of spiked boots above you is unnerving you.

[thingirl]

(Wait, is Ln helping with the barrier or not?)

"Can't you go faster, Alanne?"

"Probably, sis. But if you'd divine what the fastest way to a point from which we can mount our horses and ride away from here, then that'd be great."

"OK."

[zmflavius]

(She's helping)

You're in the middle of the city. Which direction?

[thingirl]

South.

[zmflavius]

You tunnel southward.

Suddenly, the tunnel collapses!

You tunneled under a large Obelisk.

[thingirl]

Usagi and Ln keep the barrier up. Alanne divines how close they are to getting out of the city and how many undead are in the general area.

[zmflavius]

It's mostly humans who are gathering, wondering why the obelisk sunk into the ground. And you still have a ways to go.

[thingirl]

Alanne moves some more dirt below the oblisk to keep it from sinking further. Then she asks Myrenne to divine where any more buildings and such are, so they can be avoided. They move on.

[zmflavius]

You arrive at the city walls, which you can't go around.

[thingirl]

"Myre, how badly are they guarded?"

[zmflavius]

They're crowded with archers.

[thingirl]

They back up and Alanne and Myrenne tunnel up on a slope that they can walk up, almost to the surface. Then they break through. Usagi an Ln keep up the barrier, and Alanne and Myrenne blast a hole in the city wall, which they all ride through.

[zmflavius]

A crater appears in the wall, but it remains standing. Arrows fall among you.

[thingirl]

The sisters hit it again.

[zmflavius]

The crater grows bigger. A few arrows nick everyone.

[thingirl]

"Usagi, Ln, keep that barrier UP!! Myre, c'm on, blast it again."

[zmflavius]

The wall cracks. You see soldiers and mages coming up the road.

[thingirl]

"Usagi, you blast it too. Ln, keep the barrier up."

[zmflavius]

The barrier begins to crack.

[thingirl]

And the wall?

[zmflavius]

You've created a big crack, but it's a VERY thick wall.

[thingirl]

(Grr. 15 minutes until I leave. Why did I have to self-ban Gating?)

The sisters make a new barrier just inside the old one, then Usagi and Ln help with the new one. They ride in the direction of the closest (city wall) gate.

[zmflavius]

It's blocked by soldiers. And the fortification is draining your NV. It's at 40% right now.

[thingirl]

(Ok, last use of gating travel 'till I get my braces. Hold me to it.)

(It actually doesn't hurt that much. :))

Alanne opens a portal 100 m outside the city walls in front of where they are.

[zmflavius]

You land on top of the wall.

[thingirl]

How high is it?

[zmflavius]

Around 30 feet.

[thingirl]

Well then, Alanne creates an air elemental that brings them to the ground on the other side and then they ride off.

[zmflavius]

You ride off into the sunset. Followed by several hails of arrows.

[thingirl]

Are we followed?

[zmflavius]

Yes, by the Champion Guard on horseback.

[thingirl]

They ride faster and look for some place to hide.

[zmflavius]

The place is surrounded by woods, which you are riding towards. And your horses are tiring but theirs are not.

[thingirl]

They duck into the woods and try to use Woodsmanship/Thievery to hide.

[zmflavius]

Unfortunately...you must be a grandmaster thief/woodsperson to hide from dark champions.

Myrenne has lvl 76 thieving and woodsmanship.

They see you and start yelling.

[thingirl]

Everyone or just Myrenne?

[zmflavius]

Myrenne gave away everyone.

[thingirl]

Are the champoin Guard's horses undead or alive?

[zmflavius]

Undead.

[thingirl]

They all smite the Guard's horses using Necro. (they should have enough NR left for that.)

[zmflavius]

The horses are wounded and you all are out of necro.

[thingirl]

(You mean NR)

The girls press on, with Myrenne riding in front of Alanne (both on Stormgait). They try to hide again, and they make Myrenne climb a tree to hide better this time.

[zmflavius]

Yeah.

The Champion Guard has surrounded you. You are forced to give up.

[thingirl]

*headdesk*

And they take us?

[zmflavius]

Back to the city.

[thingirl]

And put us?

[zmflavius]

Into a high security prison.

It is known as Atrium Felicitatis and on the gate is a plaque saying "Locus Ubi Est Nihil Fuscum."

Ominous.

[thingirl]

"I wish I could read what that plaque says. Dang, if only I had opted to learn Latin."

"Me too..."

"Anyway, there's nothing we can do until we get rested up."

[zmflavius]

You are led to a jail cell that holds 40 other prisoners and a large stack of corpses.


There is only 1 toilet, and it's actually just a bucket.

[thingirl]

(Oh s***! This sounds like...)

How much NR do they have?

[zmflavius]

(like...Speaking of which, did you happen to get a translation of the name of the place? Atrium Felicitatis translates roughly into English as Hall of Happiness or...)

None.

[thingirl]

(No. Google Translator doesn't have latting that I could find.)

And can they REST here?

[zmflavius]

Does the Ministry of Love...errr...Hall of Happiness sound like a safe location to you?

[thingirl]

No, but it was worth asking.

Alanne uses Thivery to see if there's any way to get out.

[zmflavius]

"oi! You! Step away from the door now!"

[thingirl]

"Sorry."

She steps back.

"Ln, what do you think we should do?"

[zmflavius]

"I don't know. This is as bad as it gets."

[thingirl]

"Come on, you gotta know SOMETHING!!!!!"

"Please don't yell."

"Myrenne, what are you doing telling me what to do??? It's only because of you that we're here in the first place!!!!"

"Hey, it's not my fault you didn't teach me how to hide!"

"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!!!!" They stare at Usagi, expecting her to say something else.

"Oh, I don't have a plan, I just don't think we'll get anywhere argeuing at each other."

[zmflavius]

Suddenly, two Champion guards appear.

One motions vaguely in Myrenne's direction with a spear.

"Room 101."

[thingirl]

"Wha'd I do? Whatever it was is her idea!" She points at Alanne. Myrenne gets up anyway. She walks slowly, drawing attention to herself and away from the others who were putting out all of their thieving skills to try to sneak past the guards standing in the open door.

[zmflavius]

"You! Sit down! Immediately, the guards spring forth and drag off Ln who was sitting behind Myrenne."

[thingirl]

"I wonder what they're gonna do to her."

"I don't want to know, sis. Besides, there is nothing we can do. I can't think of anything, and neither can you. Out only hope is if Usagi suddenly had an idea of her own that she didn't rip off of one of us."

While the sisters are talking, Usagi sits and stares at the wall.

[zmflavius]

Random Roll!

You need 75 or higher to get a favourable result.

25! FAIL!


A guard walks in and points at Alanne.

"Room 101."

[thingirl]

(What I'm thinking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9AQPSXoeHE)- some say we need a miracle / some say there's no hope at all)

Myrenne looks panicked and says, "Wait, can't you take me instead? I'm much better than her, I'm-"

"Myre. It's ok. I love you little sis." She gets up and walks to the guards.

[zmflavius]

You're immediately stunned.

[thingirl]

And the guards take her?

[zmflavius]

You lose control of Alanne.

[thingirl]

(The only thing saving you from a de-repp is that I've reached the limit.)

"Alanne..."

"Now you know how I feel, huh?"

"He could be here..."

"He isn't. We lo... broke... sep... back in Rhar-Daepith."

"Oh. Yeah. Curse that Zmflavius! If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even be here! And that stupid Carverclaw of his... I have no idea how Ln managed to survive growing up with him! I wanna rip out his guts and-"

"Enough. I know what you mean. I loss... My husband went missing while serving in Zmflavius' army. Now, what would he do right now?"

"Start a riot?"

"No. But that's a good idea. Let's go hit that big guy with the tattoos over there."

"Sure. I'd rather die fighting that whatever awaits in room 101."

[zmflavius]

A riot breaks out. Immediately, everyone starts fighting each other.

Immediately, the door is opened by several very angry demon and human soldiers.

"What the...ARGH!! CRAP!!!! NEED...URK!"

The fighting spills out into the corridors. You can hear crossbows hitting prisoners.

[thingirl]

"I still hate Zmflavius."

"Come on Myre, we have to get going."

"HEY!!!!! NOBODY CALLS ME THAT EXCEPT FOR MY SISTER!!!!!"

"Sorry. Still, come on before they all die."

"Whatever, just don't call me that again." They try to use their Thievery (and Woodsmanship) skills to try to slip out and not get hit.

[zmflavius]

You're in a hallway filled with bright lights.

[thingirl]

Can they see any room numbers?

[zmflavius]

No.

Actually, you can't see any doors either.

[thingirl]

Which way has more guards (that they can see)?

[zmflavius]

Both have none.

[thingirl]

"Which way, Usagi?"

"I don't know."

"I have a feeling that whichever way we choose is the wrong way, so let's just go right."

"OK."

[zmflavius]

You come to a fork in the hall.

[thingirl]

Any doors or anything that would help them dicide?

[zmflavius]

Nope.

For some reason, there aren't any doors. At all.

[thingirl]

The girls realize that they must be in some sort of dreamland. They try to get out.

[zmflavius]

They're not in dreamland. They really are in real life.

[thingirl]

"That didn't work."

"Hmm, maybe they knocked us out with some sort of drug?"

"Or maybe we're dead."

"Either way, let's just continue on. Left?"

"Sure."

[zmflavius]

You come upon more hallways. There seems to be no exit.

[thingirl]

Can they rest, as in, regain thir NR points?

[zmflavius]

Sure.

[thingirl]

"Well, I guess we just sit here and see if anything comes of it."

"OK. Besides, we need to rest anyway."

[zmflavius]

You rest.

[thingirl]

Usagi tries to divine where they are and which way is out.

[zmflavius]

You are in a high-security prison, where all the doors are hidden.

[thingirl]

"That explains a lot. Want me to try and find room 101?"

"No, but do it anyway."

[zmflavius]

You are unable to sense anything.

[thingirl]

Can she tell what number the closest two doors are?

[zmflavius]

Armoury and Cell 39DS23BM9.

[thingirl]

(And do they have their stuff? Assuming no.)

How hevially guarded is said Armoury?

[zmflavius]

You can't see any guards.

[thingirl]

Can Usagi divine if any are there?

[zmflavius]

There are no (divinable) guards.

[thingirl]

About how much SP does Usagi have? 35? Myrenne has MR 79; SP 38; NR 18

Usagi blasts throusg the door (Destro).

[zmflavius]

The door blows apart.

[thingirl]

They go it back-to-back, watching for guards, and try to get some armor.
