Darksten fires a shot off at the spider, only for the spider to pounce away. Perhaps it had something to do with the ranger's drunken stance? "<Right! That does it! I asked you politely, and yet you still insist on freaking killing me! I thought you were better than this, ranger with the beard! I feel... betrayed! I FEEL megablocking BETRAYED!!! Well then, feel the wrath of our mother's legion, you sissies!>" The spider crawls up the web and begins to prick some of the strands. Crawling from beneath the web, two glowing spiders appear, looking ready for combat. "<Hehe! Fresh meat! Yum, yum! I'm going to cherish sucking you dry!>" "<Thank goodness for the Cymbalroot! Otherwise this fight would end with us as splats on the ground!>" "<I've had enough of this goddamn heroes in this goddamn forest!!>" Murkwood Mauler Level 7 Vermin HP: 26/26 Special: Agressive Behaviour- The Murkwood Mauler pounces on the target and deals 4 damage, defying SP.

First off, let me welcome you to the game! Quests get posted in flux. The more people in the hall, the more likely new quests are going up. Just be patient: there's a lot of QM's planning to host quests soon.

Karie takes the item and inspects it, admiring the handiwork. "Not going to lie, Calacas, this is pretty cool. Much appreciated, sir." Not seeing a use for it immediately, she puts it in her pocket and turns to the rest of the party. "We ready to head to the Auditorium through the Library? I'd like to investigate the hallway before the Auditorium before hand."

Karie runnages through her gold purse, counting out coins while she considers what she wants. "Headwear would be preferable. Hell, a mask wouldn't be bad if you can make something like that. Two bones and 40 gold sound good enough?" 644-40=604 This is getting slightly macabre...

We've had this before. It's just some newbie who thinks he can post here because "heros!" And what's with all the goblin hate! The last one was also goblins, but it was the Goblin HQ? Same guy, mayhaps?

"Well then, Pepe, it's nice to meet you. The name's Karie." Karie's surprised with the friendliness of the skeleton, but curious about the "inter dimensional part. "A bone crafter, eh? What could you make with two?" "But we're not going to the demonic dark corridor, remember? We're splitting up for a reason: to cover more ground. I doubt we'll run into anything too hair raising, so lets move into the corridor before the Auditorium and at least stake the area out. We'll bring the box with us, just in case. We'll move through the Library." OOC: Sandy, can I gain temporary control of the NPCs in my party, since Cutcobra would be breaking the no contact rule otherwise?

Stalker's Mallet is so much more subversive though! Amy Rose does do some borderline stalker-like things!

Kianu whispers back in a hushed voice. "We'll be walking to Luosh then, and we'd be wasting precious time! We could always challenge him to a fight. I mean, he just a spider."

I believe you mean the Stalker's Mallet? Stalker’s Mallet (WP: 8, usable by Knights, Barbarians, and Harlots. Has a 1/2 chance to seal the targeted enemy. Right where you want them…) Technically it's a Hammer, but the Harlot inclusion was a while ago. If anyone gets what the hammer's a reference too...

"We can assume that area beyond the Planetarium is the Auditorium? I don't see why not. I'd appreciate if one of us didn't go in, however, seeing as how... um... the janitor is shaking. Can we get a name so we don't call you "the janitor"? That seems a little rude." As she speaks, Karie notices the skeleton standing in the corner. "Um... you're not a demon, are you?"

I think the spider helmet's pushing it a little, but everything else looks good.

"That's the idea, but with that wereskunk on the loose, at least one of us needs to stand back to ensure he doesn't run off if we go to fight the darkness. Unless we want to ship him separately with the orc?" Karie moves her group to the Foyer.

"Um, Darksten... where are you going with this?" She pulls out her pipes from her satchel and looks curiously at Darksten. "And I wish you'd remember my name..." QM Note: I honestly wish I could give you a level of experience for this. Here's a cookie instead. Also, yes, Kianu should have full health. I seem to have mistaken her ether for her health. The little spider claps slowly. He relaxes a bit, moving down his web a little ways. The plant to the party's left opens and slaps shut like a cymbal, a metallic ringing resonating throughout the area. "<Well done, well done indeed. I particularly enjoyed your ability to spin that song up on the spot. However, I unfortunately cannot move for you. You see, it's my duty to keep all foreigners out of Murkwood: orders of the queen.>" Hoang steps forward to cut the webs, but as he cuts one strand, the spider leaps into action, mending it hastily. It doesn't take long, but the spider's web is intact once again. When he's donen, he moves back to the centre of the web, looking ready to pounce. "<Oi! And who do you think you are?! Ruining my lovely web! What if I went into your house and ripped your shit apart? How'd you like that, you big palooka?!>" QM Note: Very well then. I will let you continue playing, but if you continue to have internet problem's let me know in advance so I don't have to question where you are.

Oh no, it's spreading!

I thought some Regret hologram was showing up in 99. Nope, just pink Regret. Happy Happy is Pink. Five internet points to anyone who gets the reference.

This is actually the third. Way back during Quest #70, Endgame's icon was one of the Syndicate members with their hood on, Masson or Octavyn I believe, done in LLD. Mine was Karie with her hood on, done in LDD.

If we have one thing to thank the Furry Fandom for... It's the Drama Llama. What's wrong with Pinkie staring into your soul? I've mixed the two of us up before. Oh, the misleading I've caused!

We're arguing about the usage of a word. Really, are we going to get this nitty gritty when it comes to dialogue in Heroica? This isn't that big of a deal, Lord Duvors, and you don't need to make it into one. Otherwise the Drama Llama shows up, and then everyone gets dramatic.

Kianu cringes, looking uncomfortable. She responds, sounding antsy. "Darksten, can you... can you back off please. I really doubt this gown will do you any good." She ties her hair back and covers her horns again. She sits up and edges away from Darksten. Nolan responds to him with a mouth full of food. "Sorry lad, but unfortunately I just started my breakfast. However, I hope to see you again down the road!" He goes back to eating his eggs and bacon. With everything in order, the party bids farewell to the Weeping Inn, continuing to head North. Passing through Bric'lin, the party wastes no time trekking down the highway, occasionally stopping to pull Darksten back onto the road. As the sun hits midday the party can see a massive forest surrounding the rest of the road. Kianu pulls the party off the road and along the edge of the Murkwood. A thick layer of trees and flora surrounded the area like a wall, seemingly no way for the party to enter without losing a bit of weight beforehand. Finally, Kianu stops, looking at an opening big enough for the party to fit through. "Huh. That's weird. I don't remember the spider's web here. He looks relatively big too..." Kianu points to the large black spider sitting in the middle of a web, blocking the entryway. The creature eyes the party intently, shifting it's eight legs occasionally to get a better look at them. Sticking to the centre of the web, it didn't look like the spider had any intent to move. What will the party do?

"I'd prefer to save Noel's ether, but it's not a bad idea." Karie wasn't quite sure how to proceed with Sorrow. It seemed like he'd always been inquisitive about every little detail. Sometimes she wished he'd just let her move on instead of having to trudge her through the mud with question, but she knew where he was coming from. He was worried, and rightfully so. She didn't know who was talking to her, or why, but talking about it here wasn't the right option. "I've got a lot on my mind, Sorrow. Ensuring these kids get out okay, how Provost Lector managed to get out of all this, and now I might be hearing voices in my head. I am terrified of everything that could potentially go wrong." I need to get through this intact... I'm not redoing every moment of me losing control of my emotions here... "Sorrow. I'm... not okay... but sitting around her mulling over it won't do me any good. There's a time and a place for us to deal with this... it ain't here."

Karie kicks the bench, cursing harshly. "Merde! Je déteste cette l'école! Baise..." She takes a few deep breaths before speaking again. "Sorry... my french seemed to slip there... it's been awhile since I've gotten this riled up about something..." She runs her hand through her hair, thinking the groups options through. "Perhaps I'm thinking this through wrong. We haven't sent back any of the faculty and students with us, so that's six there, followed up with the two who buggered off which makes eight." Karie felt foolish for her own oversight, kicking the air in front of her. "We'll head back to the foyer, find and pick up the wereskunk and the orc, and then one of us will have to stand back during fights to ensure the wereskunk doesn't keep running off." There was so much Karie wanted to spill right now but couldn't. There were too many people looking her down, too many people listening to her every word. She bit her lip and swallowed. "I'm... okay. I'm okay for now. We've got more important things to worry about besides my own problems. We're going to back to the foyer."

Looking back, yeah, it kind of was.

He'll run if the party gets into a fight. Since Heckz party will most likely get into one, our party has to grab him.

Karie shoots Heckz a Z-Mail. "Don't allow the skunk to follow you! If he's in the entrance hall, we'll grab him. Karie then taps her foot on the ground, irritated at the lack of students. "Bloody hell... shall we start searching the stalls?"
