OoC: Ack, pardon the long wait (and my absence in general). Moving back into the dorms has been an interesting process. IC: He was right. There was nothing Sequoia could do to deny it... the small part of his mind that was still his own shrieked out a note of justice, forcing the irate druid to remember the training and morals that he had received so long ago. And above all, the cardinal rule of the Order: Treat all as equals, until they prove themselves to be otherwise. He could not kill Filbert, even with the mountain's power and the demon's taint flowing through his veins. Even though he remembered the unbelievable pain he had suffered at Filbert's hands, he could not make his hand tighten any more over Filbert's throat. Sequoia lowered Filbert down from the wall, and with a light flick of his wrist, cast him back down the passage a few feet. He couldn't kill Filbert, but he could put him in his place. He has proven his physical strength, but he cannot prove his moral strength just yet, the druid thought, tendrils of ice still rising from his faintly glowing form. Another voice in his mind added, And if he is able to help slay Orloki, he shall be forgiven. It wasn't said as a mere statement of opinion, it was said as a fact, carved in stone as ancient as the mountain. It wasn't his own voice, and it wasn't the demon. It had to be the mountain, or Sequoia was finally losing his mind. "Fine," the druid said calmly to Filbert, who was slowly pulling himself up off the floor and reaching for his sword. "You may draw breath. But when the demon lies dead, we have a score to settle." A rumble from the surrounding stone caught his attention. Somewhere down below him, the passage of many feet echoed around a large chamber. He felt a scream carry up through the rock. Edith. What has she done? Filbert might've said something, but Sequoia didn't care. Every ally was precious at this point, and if Orloki was to keep picking them off... he would have to force a confrontation soon. If he waited much longer, he and Filbert would be the only ones left. "We must move quickly," he said to Filbert, who had gotten to his feet, breathing heavily. The druid started walking down the passage towards where he knew Orloki was... Or was he still there? The presence felt different, subtly altered from the near-omnipresent pressure he'd grown accustomed to. This was much more focused, much more intense. This was... He heard the quick footsteps behind him, and he felt a spell rise to his lips, unbidden. A narrow beam of ice shot from his hands, and arced back around him to freeze Filbert's sword into his hands in mid-swing, causing him to misstep and crash into the floor. "Do you still want to live or not?" Sequoia asked impatiently, trying to pinpoint the new location of Orloki... or Cain. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

I want to post next, and I expect it'll be short, because it'll probably be written tonight at... well, way too late for a long post. I say this because I'm going off into the woods backpacking for a week, and I will return on the 24th. So, at best, I'll be back to posting on the 25th. EDIT: Right, can't post. Not enough time. Too tired... and such things. I'll post ASAP once I return... I'll have plenty of time to think of it.

Let's see... I've used the full four nearly every time. Up to A4, it went tank, archer/rogue, priest, mage. Fairly boring. At BoA, I started diversifying by mixing in magic with the tank and archer. By the time I hit A4, second time through I just used four magic-focused PCs and dominated. Sadly, my interest had flagged in a second run about halfway through. But going back to A2 and 3, I tried something rather fun. Start with a singleton chock-full of personality, then pick up the other NPCs as I went. It was a fun method. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Hm... going backpacking in New Mexico in the middle of July once, we got dumped on for about 10 of 12 days. Oh, and four times hailed on. Then there was the float trip in South Dakota that tried to kill me and my group. Again, middle of June... we were sorta hypothermic at the end of that one, after paddling through a cold, dreary mist-filled series of reed banks which we couldnt see over for a whole day. Then there was the tornado that just missed our campsite (same trip)... a tent with two of my friends in it rolled away... finding that out at about 6 am is interesting. Particularly when you're stuck in a tent with the one guy in your group who's not really firing on all cylinders, and is hogging the center of the tent, leaving you to keep thetent from collapsing in on itself because all of the stakes have been ripped up. We were the trial run for the place we did the trip through. They took pity on us and took our soaked gear in to the local laundromat, and gave us some non-ruined food. They also took us to our next site by truck, since we were all freezing. Oh, and then there were all the fun, fun storms that more or less torched St. Louis a few weeks ago. Amazingly, our house only lost power for about 8 hours, while others went without for over a week. And in St. Louis, that could be deadly... fortunately, the storms had cooled down the city a bit. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
