OoC: Oh, Hastened takes effect that round? Well, in that case... His focus narrowed, Thormanil prepares to attack the Inquisitor from the front row.

"Let's go through the sewers! they said! We'll avoid the guards! they said! Hah! Fat chance." Grumbling, he unties a pouch of Smelling Salts and breathes in deeply. His limbs tingle as the effect quickens his senses. He grips his totem tightly from the back row as the world around him slows to a crawl.

"Trickster's Mask of Therianthropy" perhaps? I'll get a Were-manil picture up sometime tonight. Trying to decide the best format for displaying the 3 pictures, have a few ideas.

"Aw, don't be mad just 'cause I'm puttin' the pups away, Elgar. Y'can see 'em anytime ya want, just gotta ask, hah! Anyway, I coulda' just let his head roll, y'know. Gotta give me a lil credit for not usin' the sharp side, heh heh! 'Sides, if he'd gotten away, we'd have the guards after us anyhow, same as if we'd approached the main gate and failed to fool 'em. Uh, thanks, though, for doin' the digging. If we're all done mourning this tragic loss, perhaps we can start into the sewers? I'd rather get this part of the mission over with quick as we can, yeh?"

That'd be great, Scuba. If the totem becomes an issue (I know the short chain I used was from a newer ninjago set, not my usual turf), don't sweat it too much--just having an avatar of Thormana with a properly covered chest, and hair w/hood down, would be great! No worries, I still appreciate the offer! It's an older head, I think it made its way into my collection through my younger brother, as I was just entering middle school (and my early dark ages) in '00, so a big castle set would make more sense as having been a birthday gift (or similar) for him at the time. To keep his friends in good health! I don't recall him ever caring much for horny little snitches Edit: @Scuba, any chance you've got the parts to make a werewolf version as well? I never picked up any lupine 'fig heads. Closest I've got is an army of CMF Minotaurs. That torso works pretty well for a shirtless beast-man, and there's enough of a color difference between the torso and brown legs I've been using on Thormanil that hopefully I wouldn't end up with a second (seemingly) indecent version of Thormanil.. heh. That is, unless Jeb wouldn't mind making an exception for Thormanil. Being a shaman and all, perhaps he can influence the spell -just- enough to take on the appearance of a minotaur? Bovinethropy, that can be a thing, right?

"Oh, well, uh, don't suppose my healing'll be any good here... Whoops! I'll have to be a bit more careful with that in the future, eh? If we can spare a few minutes, I think it'd be best we buried the body. " He takes out his shovel and prepares to dig. Before he begins, he takes the boy's shirt, rinsing it in the water before putting it on. OoC: Hopefully I'll get an updated Thormana avatar soon.

"Things just cant ever be easy... " Letting out a heavy sigh, Thormanil lifts his staff and swings it at the boy, aiming to knock him senseless with the blunt side of the weapon.

A new quest has appeared! Quest #__: Bear Naked Ladies A troupe of musical polar bears has quickly gained popularity in the region, under the moniker "Bear Naked Ladies". Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to serve as their bodyguards/bouncers as their tour passes through the Eubric Freeport, staving off hordes of adoring fans and wannabe-groupies. Your reward? Fame. Fortune! Well, not fortune, these are some really greedy bears. And not really fame, either, you'll just be behind the scenes. And most folks who see you won't like you, because you'll be standing between them and their favorite performing bears. So the knowledge that you've helped out will have to be its own reward. Any takers? Juuust kidding. Speaking of bare naked ladies though, if anyone can match Thormanil/Thormana's current build, but with the jungle-girl top (I'm almost sure it exists... but can't find it on BL at the moment, in a bit of a rush. It's like a tube-top with a single shoulder strap, beige/tan in color...), or this top, I would greatly appreciate it (as would the civilized population of the town we're about to infiltrate, I'm sure!). The aforementioned reward stands, though you could add my gratitude on top of it Edit: Ignore the jungle girl request, found it and I'd much prefer the top I linked to instead. If you have a nice redheaded hairpiece to replace the hood with, that'd be even better. Thanks very much, in advance!

ThormanilThormana clears hisher throat, then to hisher surprise, speaks in a rough, but clearly feminine voice, "Ehehe, my apologies young sir! Our hound here decided it would be funny if he stole my top away while I was washing. It hadn't much bothered me til now, but you're quite right--it would be most inappropriate of me to waltz into the city clothed as indecently as I stand before you now! Might I have your tunic, so as to cover myself? I'll buy it off you for a few gold coins... or, perhaps a young man such as yourself would be more interested in touchin' a perfect pair like these, hmmm...?" (S)he grins slyly as he puffs his chest out, and awaits the boy's answer. OoC: For italicized writing(character-actions), I'll just be referring to Thormanil as a he. Keep it gender-appropriate in anything else, though.

I was just about to quote the same, with identical sentiments. Well played, Jeb!

Thormanil chuckles as he trades 50 coins for a Gender Swap Mask "Oh-ho, this is guaranteed to be a good time. I'm sure I'll find at least a few chances to make use of this! Hah hah!" He puts the mask on... "Well? Somebody, tell me how good I look!" Noticing everyone else smirking and nudging each other, he looks down and realizes that his chest is still bare. "Ah.. hm. Kinda figured I'd get a little more coverage outta the illusion. I should probably look into fixing that, and quickly, eh?" Before taking the mask off to break the spell, he dances around a little, and admires his new 'equipment' "What?! Don't tell me you wouldn't take a moment to appreciate the fine details of an advanced spell such as this one... Now, hey! Eyes off the goods, folks!" He takes off the mask and, satisfied with the quality of the first, he decides to purchase a Weredog Mask as well, leaving him with his original 17 gold.

Or so I hope. Q35 shall be my play-/testing-ground!

"I'd be lyin' if I said I was a fan of your overly cautious attitude, Elgar, but then you come and sweep me off my feet with a sentiment like that! I don't see much point in splittin' up, so it looks like I'll be gettin' my feet wet. Anyone got a few mint leaves I could plug up my nose with? Heh heh."

There just aren't enough caches of gold tucked behind crumbling brick walls (or at least, not enough hints are given that such things exist). But that's more appropriate for the QM thread... heh. That's obviously a female orc demon huntress, just look at that face! The females tend to have a much softer complexion than the males of their tribes.

"Our odds suggest that we'd be facing a lot of guards, certainly. But henchmen are a dime a dozen these days. I bet we could poke the first few waves that come at us, and they'd fall right over, hah!"

"At least at the gate, we know our odds, and what we're likely to face. There could be all sorts of vile things down in those sewers. And besides, I'm still not quite over the last experience I had, voluntarily wading through foul waters. But yes, I'll of course follow along as well."

"Y'know, I love a good fight. I say we try the main gate."

Thormanil steps forward, giving Ad-hoh a pat on the back as he passes, "Good to see you again, Ad-Hoh! And, ah, Ms. Orc, your grasp of the common tongue is much better than I would have given you credit for. Thormanil Nihai, at your service!"

Thormanil makes his way to Portia's stall, greeting her with a big smile, and a bigger hole in his coin pouch. He purchases two Grand Tonics, three doses of Smelling Salts, and two bottles of Nostrum, costing him a total of 205 coins(2x30+3x25+2x35). He leaves with a mere 17 coins(222-205).

Go along with it, of course! Thormanil is relatively new in town. Sure, he's made friends within the Hall, but the only major faction to reach out to him is the Shadeaux. Granted, it was towards their own ends, but he doesn't really recognize that. He's not used to big-city politics and he would be inclined to believe that, despite how it looks, the Shadeaux aren't just using him as a tool. As it stands, he'll likely continue to help out the Shadeaux, right up until it bites him (no pun intended) in the rear. It's entirely possible that he could have his eyes opened, so to speak, once some of the current questers return and start sharing stories about the damage that has been wrought using his actions as a framework, but even then, I don't think he'll be too quick to abandon the Shadeaux. Not until they really sell him out. Edit: Read your question wrong. Totally thought you were talking to the questers from 4. Whoops!

Thormanil returns to the Hall, but is quickly reminded why he has spent so little time here as of late. Ignoring all the shouting and arguing, he signs his name under Quest #35: Rescue the Maa'ri!, then heads back outside.

Oh jeez, maybe I'm the one who needs to check himself. It's too early for this nonsense! I apologize B&P, I completely goofed that on every level.

Yeah, he's a human: And please check your spelling before doing a rush post. Good lord, B&P. At least follow your own advice before you make yourself look like a jack***. K-Nut's Amorith: Kadabra's Arasmyth:

"Whew, that was a close one!" Extending a hand to help the warden to his feet, "I dread the thought of facing you with a shield, Benji! Good match!"

Thormanil attempts to call upon the ancient spirits to aid him as he tries to heal himself from the back row this round. After this round, I'm fine just attacking from the front row until it's all said and done.
