Jebediahs Posted April 19, 2012 En Sabah Nur finally saw the trouble his spells had caused to the team. Their visibility was obstructed by the flying debris and the dust wasn't doing any good for the lungs either. He often lost sight of his teammates in combat when focused on a target but he sought to change this. He would remember to try harder to keep the entire battle field in his mind at all times in future encounters. Nur drew his dagger and attacked from the front row.

As Boomingham is about to be swallowed by the beast, Docken heroically pushes him out of the way and is swallowed for the second time. Thankfully due to his strategic positioning within the rug he is able to endure the blows of his companions as Nur comes in quick with his dagger scoring a solid hit and rending a tear in the beasts neck from which pours a small stream of Gold briefly stunning the enchanted rug. Haldor preparing himself for his next round of attacks focuses his mind meditating as he regains 1 ether. Jess sinks her blade once again into the beast's hide seeking desperately to bring the battle to a close. THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

Nur casts another earthquake keeping the bear in its semi-conscious state while Haldor for lack of a banister, prepares to jump off the desk, but is unable to retain his footing and rolls to safety before hurting himself. Docken remains trapped within the rug, but still cheers his team mates on as he does his best to avoid their blows. THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

Scorpiox Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) "D'oh! It looked so realistic when they did it!Time to try something else, lest I just attack like any old person. How about this?" Haldor tries another move. This time, he leans back on the ropes walls, waving his fist about for the fans, he then rushes forward and jumps into a sort of slide tackle kick thing on the rug's head. They called it a 'Corkscrew Axekick' at WWE, well, Haldor wants to do one of those. Edited April 20, 2012 by Scorpiox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boomingham and Jess both ready strikes with their fire imbued blads but are unable to find an opening in the rug's defenses. Nur remembering the problem with the dust, collects the moisture from the air, which is prevalent in the shop which lies across from the harbor, and condenses it in front of the bear's face creating an impenetrable confounding mist. Haldor takes off running in the opposite direction from the enemy and crashes through the unexpectedly flimsy wood paneling. Picking himself up he jumps through the hole with a cry of "Super Haldor " and delivers a devastating kick to the rug reminiscent of a bottle opener and pole-arm. THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

Nur continues to condense more vapor before deciding to literally drench the beast in a miniature downpour, which while doing so he collects a small pile of gold that spills forth from underneath the rug. Jess, Blohdhurm in hand sinks her blade into the beasts neck ending its existence as steam forms around the fiery sword and the gleam of gold is exposed twinkling in the blue light of the bioluminescent desklamp.

Would anyone be horribly affronted if I were to take the claws? I was really in wanting of a back-up weapon so I can imbue my Heavy Rod. Haldor hears a muffled cry.Ah, I think it is time that we got Mister Bluehood out of there. "Haldor runs back, then dives through the bear's mouth into it's stomach.

We believe that a malfunction was created in the machine... deliberatly. We think that someone had cause to want to hurt him and thus rigged the contraption to go boom. Sorry, but we have to pursue all lines of inquiry, your name was on the list. Would you know anything about how to cause a malfunction in such a machine?

Waterbrick Down Posted April 21, 2012 "Is Szalinski going to be okay? Do you mean sabotage? But who... Yes I can answer any question you wish. Arguments? Never! Szalinski and I were what made the machine possible. I came up with the theory of the transmogrification process and he made it into a reality. As far as malfunctions, it was a very delicate instrument, there could have been at least several dozen reasons that it went off like that."

"Master Bluehood, could you possible explain the process and what made it possible? You say that there are several dozen reasons that it could've malfunctioned. Could you explain some of those?

Waterbrick Down Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) "Tell us about the other investors. What do you know about them?" he bellows at the older man. "Reginald Swisshopper is an entrepreneur he started up one of the most successful garment making shops in all of Eubric Freeport. Given his success, he has quite a bit of capital and as I have directed some of my own clientèle to his business before he was willing to raise up some support for Szalinski and my venture in hopes that his investment might prove good. There are two scientists from Carthago that aided us in the development of the technology, I believe they said they were staying at some inn. Sem's Sensible Investments gave us a loan that covered more than a third of our expenses. Oh and there's that Gurnam chap, not particularly a nice individual, but sharklings rarely are, Szalinski and I don't know where he gets the funding but he has supported over a 1/4 or our cause." Nice moves, Haldor. "The space where Szalinski set up his machines for presentation, what is it normally used for?" "The Eubric Common House is a general meeting hall, almost anyone can rent out the space and it is populated by everything from confrences to round-table discussions to traveling jesters." I breathe a sigh of relief as I watch Haldor emerge with Master Bluehood seemingly unharmed. "Master Bluehood, could you possible explain the process and what made it possible? You say that there are several dozen reasons that it could've malfunctioned. Could you explain some of those? Were there any parts that might have been weak spots or which you weren't completely confident in before the demonstration? And how easy would it have been to sabotage the machine?" "Well the machine as you may have been informed runs off of alchemical batteries which by their very nature are unstable and thus require specific tuning of their frequency output when utilized if their spacial parameters are slightly off level the frequency generated may undergo deconstructive interference causing static in the transmission lines leading to power surges. The alchemical batteries supply the static transmogrifiers by which the power is transmuted to a scanning beam of tiny particles which interact with the supplied test specimen that after transform the specimen into an intermediate transubtle state by which the conducer generator can alter the outgoing frequency of particle in tune with the desired "magical" properties of the materials structure. All of the transmission steps must occur in an airless system to prevent contamination of the signal. A single leak in the lines can lead to corruption of the signal leading to transmogrification in situ during which extraordinary quantities of heat may be generated. These are but a few of the delicacies of the instrument, in all it would be fairly easy to sabotage as it was built for simply demonstration purposes and not for commercial viability at the moment. I'd compare it to a magic user, powerful on the inside but processing a frailty on the outside." Edited April 21, 2012 by Waterbrick Down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
