In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 279):

While the ferret and Crotchsniffer may travel openly, Lefty may cause undue attention... and with the Ymid along, that is the last thing you need.

OOC: have we heard from Mellarill recently?

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 281):

Was left the name given to the spider?

In reply to Clarence Montague (msg # 282):

He had a long name like "one who doesn't dance well" and you called him Lefty as short for 5 left feet.

I will message Mellarill and Brodak

OOC: Brodak's just a few messages up.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 284):

OK, I have Mellarill back under my control ... she and crotch sniffer were given to someone else to play, not sure they ever posted a message. But they are here now, You can bet your skanky ass on that, Beef Buggerer.

Collectively, excepting Lefty*, you head a few blocks northward, past the Wastrel's Hope. Along the way you hear some shouting to the east, but that is overshadowed by a small explosion.

It sounds familiar to most of you (IQ+2 to recognize)

*This would be too much:

Nodwin recognizes the sound, although he is far too anxious about having the Ymid in public sight to really pay close attention to it.  He's much more concerned with getting to their destination so the Hadereum doesn't get involved with the...alien...?

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 287):

Damnit! That sounded like a doomchild!

OOC:  Waiting to find out what it is before reacting.

13:31, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 6 using 3d6.  Recognizing sound, IQ 17 roll (IQ 15 + 2).

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 289):

Indeed- someone has detonated one of those demonic brats that stabbed Mario, and just up the block, probably in that abandoned tavern with sm9ke blowing out of it!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 286):

Do we really want to leave lefty behind? What would he do? Hunt rats in the basement?

It is a nice picture though, but I am not sure Clarence would use an umbrella...

He could hang on to your back like a framepack, and we could tusk some cloth around to disguise Lefty as a backpack...  of if you can train him to walk on 4 legs, we could get him a dog costume to wear...

Or you could save points and eventually level him up to have Summonable as a Familiar so he can port in and out.  Unless he literally 'just' an Ally, in which case, I recommend magic, clever disguises, or leaving him to guard your rooms.

And this is why you should never buy a Familiar/Pet Ally bigger than your head.



[EDIT]
And nice reference to "I Smell A Rat"... and the trope in general.

Do the "New in Town" guys see this too? And hear the explosion?

"Sound like Boombrat got poked.  Must be not'er nest of cultists."

Nodwin pauses.  His gaze darts around a bit furtively, before he whispers to Jareth and anyone immediately there "Should we investigate you think?"

OOC Nodwin would if not for the presence of the Ymid.  That...complicates things considerably.

Someone might need aid ... and we can be useful then. Ymid especially. Brodak, how about moving up to the front in case we find trouble you can level for us.

"I'll follow just behind Brodak.  I've got a score to settle with those things."  He reaches down and pats the quiver with the single plain arrow in it.

"Ymid, what's t'e general direction we need go to find t'e summonin?  Just point."


If it's in the same general direction, Jareth will indicate Brodak and Mario to head towards the BOOM and fall in behind them, if not he'll give Nodwin a look of "It's your call".

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 298):

The creature checks its device.

"It would appear to be related."

Jareth nods his affirmative to Nodwin and gestures for Brodak and Mario to take "point".

She follows behind Brodak and guides him as necessary to the building.

Nodwin falls in behind Mario with his staff ready, in case they were to run into any trouble.
