"Calista! It worked! ...ow." He turned the egg so that the others could see inside of it, as he craned his head around it to also peer inside at the same time. Then he rubbed his nose.
Calista gets up, picks up the club and activates it again, she then points it off to the far wall, wile holding it and sees if any other image comes on she can activate to make the thing fire.
She then gos over to sky.
"Well its not PyAntigrav [unknown word] and its not got wheels but legs but I think this is a form of transport of some kind."
She will tell the others.
"Now we need to get you a... magic suit like this, go fly around and see of you can find an egg about 2 times the size of the one I used."
To the others she says,
"Im just going to pop into this thing and see if it walks or flys"
She starts to get into it.
"I am unsure if there are more. There is one other like this one. I will see if there are any other sort of devices." Skyscale took wing once more! He was seeking anything else that was different compared to what he had experienced thus far. Whether of different sizes, eggwise, different size clubs... or just brand new things!
After Isabela climbs into the egg, the side that slid up slides back down.
Inside the "egg" there is a large chair and not much else in the way of room. Sitting in the chair, in your enhanced vision you can see that there is still an icon that pertains to the egg. expanding it, you can see what you believe to be a list of words or short phrases, as well as the flashing icon that you pressed when you were outside the egg to get it to open.
The inside of this thing, once closed, is warm and dark. The only response you can see is the icons that float in your vision.
Think at it, taking 20
"Help mode"
Unfortunately, it seems that it does not respond to your thoughts. Clearly these are inferior beings if they don't even have simple psionic technology.
"You still alive in there?" Korash shouts, wondering if his translator has just been eaten.
As you fly around the room, it occurs to you that if the magic orbs were made for people the size of Isabela, than you might need more than one for such a magnificent being as yourself.
There is no response to Korash's query to Isabela.
If Sky doesn't find anything new of interest... he'll land far away from everyone... and start randomly playing with the lights as he'd seen Calista do.
Looking around with at the glowing icons that appear next to everyone and most of the objects here, you can see that the icons next to the party have different shapes than the ones next to the objects.
So... he'll swish and swipe and poke at random icons relating to an egg.
as you touch the floating icon next to the egg, it expands to show a scrolling set of symbols, as well as a larger black solid one. touching that, you see what happened before with the egg that Isabela climbed into happen again: legs come out, the sides open up, and then the "face" of the egg opens, revealing a small seat and nothing else.
Touching icon on the closest lightning club to you, it expands and there is another solid black icon with scrolling text. pushing that icon, the club begins to hum and spark like the earlier one did.
Skyscale continued to mess with icons seemingly at random. He probably powered the big egg back off before turning it back on to try to toy with it some more. 'Black means does not work. Push black to turn on the magic.
Then he moved on to the lightning club, trying to mess with the scrolling text or any other icons that appeared.
Skyscale mashed any 'buttons' he could find in the lightshow he was watching, trying to get the things to react in some way. 'Perhaps they are like torches. We can use them for light in the dark hallways.
Skyscale tentatively approached... and poked the lightning. He wasn't immune to electricity, of course, , but it was certainly of his element. It would be good to know how dangerous these torches were.
Well what the hell
Ameo attempts to put on this space suit goo
Korash attempts to indicate his distrust of the goospheres with a gesture, but with Isabela silent he suddenly has no real way to communicate with the others.
Ameo pushes the orb onto his chest, and just like the others, he is quickly covered in black material.
In your vision, you can see little floating lights, which have a line pointed at different people's heads and the various objects in the room. spinning around to take a look, you see that the there is a little bubble of light above all of the people here with you, the club that Isabela threw on the ground, and the large egg behind you. Whatever is on you in no way inhibits your senses or movement.
Not a great picture, but it's what I could find.
Suddenly, the egg that Isabela is in begins extends it's sides out and begins walking out of the room. It starts off slowly, but quickly achieves a pace that even if you wanted to, you could not keep up with. With the sides extended, it would appear that it has some sort of spike defense inside, as you can see what appear to be thorns just under the shell. A lot of thorns.
Isabela comes into being next to Korash, you can see she has been hurt by the spikes,
"Well that did not work, but we now know its a walking device"
Skyscale looks up to Calista, his claw inches from pressing into the lightning surrounding the lightning club. "Careful." His finger pokes down into the electricity.
Korash finally works up the nerve to tap on the back of the thing Isabela appears to be inside. "Kirdu-with-no-feathers," he shouts, "Is this an armor, or a spider creature that just was eating you?"
She looks around, at Koresh.
"hay stop tapping my armor so hard, and look, that thinks killing off the spider cars wit h ... Magic darts. Now I know two things, one the things here are ... Magic, some intelegent , and two, this is a weapons room, so the magic wands here are weapons, all we need to do is work out how make them active "
She gos and gets a new one presses the sign that makes it come on, then sees if she can trigger it with touching parts or buttons .
Ameo speaks at Calista
Isabela are you hurt? I may be able to heal you with my magic.
As Korash taps Isabela, the black material hardens at the point of impact, so that he taps on something hard.
As you are looking around the room, you begin hearing Ameo talk as if he was right next to you. You still can't understand him, but you can hear him. Then you begin hearing Isabela's voice.
Pushing the button on a rifle twice causes it to change physically, growing a trigger and shrinking a bit from the shoulder stock.
Isabela's handwaving results in one of the clubs changing itself some, with the non-sparking end shrinking a bit and a twig growing in the small enclosed area.
Skyscale's head whips in the direction the speaking comes from. "Hello? Are you invisible again?" Sky excitedly feels around in the square he thinks Ameo is in... again.
"That would be nice thanks, some of the spikes got me"
"This is more like it"
She takes arm and shoots at the far wall. Depressing the trigger after aiming.
Ameo Casts a spell on Calista, saying some words while touching her arm.
I am casting cure light wounds on Calista.
Touching the sparking part of the club makes your claw tingle a bit, but doesn't actually harm you (not that it could, as you are clearly an impervious dragon!).
Both of you hear Skyscale speaking, which Isabela translates as "Hello? are you invisible again?"
As Isabela points the sparking, humming club at the far wall and manipulates it, a bright beam of what can only be lightning strikes the wall, leaving scorchmarks in the wall where it strikes.
The scrolling numbers in the icon for the rifle slow down after you fire.
She smiles in delight as the gun works at last
"Good now...."
then Screams and drops to her nees at Ameo trys to make her better with positive energy blisters and burns her skin. She drops the Club and drops onto her side panting in pain.. after a moment she just asks
"Ameo, what have you done to me?
He attempts to turn the stick off, by pushing the button again, to turn off the lightning, the same as he does to turn off the egg with legs and arms.
"Thunder guns!" Korash shouts, and drops his, kicking it away and wiping his hands in disgust.
"These being weapons of war, not art."
Isabela slowly gets up, she says something to
Ameo, then Korash as he kicks the gun away
"what ever you did never do it again to me, that... magic hurts me it dos not... heal my flesh"
"Korash if your a pacifist then your in the wrong life, where I am from, war political and physical is the norm, kill or be kill is our way, I do it with out malice or hate but as a necessity of survival. I respect your views however, but now may be the time to review them for your sake and ours."
She hopes he got most of that.
I have no idea what happened. I have healed a great many people with that spell. Maybe it is some difference between the worlds that we come from.
You all here Ameo speaking with Isabela.
"What ever it is, don't do it again, it burns me"
She rubs her shoulder where there is a black more, then gos over to take a new weapon, she looks for a pistol sized one with a holster or a bracelet.
"Theses are weapons, killing weapons, there are some form of Energy projector [unknown word] wand, you make it live/turn it on/make it shoot a way/fire by pressing the image you can see when you have the water armour/PSI-skin/Egg Armour on, the images you see are spells/icons/runes. They tell you things and let you work our abductors tech/magic/psionics. Once I work out how to read them we can learn a lot more."
She then shows hot to use the weapon.
Korash shakes his head and refuses to listen. "Lightning is not a proper weapon."
Assuming they would shut off... Skyscale got an idea! Maybe he could break one of the storage units. Just... a little off the top. So he could make himself a carrying case for some of these goodies. He really needed a way to easily transport things. So... he fluttered his way up to the top of one of the shelves and started clearing it off, removing all of the goodies from the very top.
Then he started trying to -remove the very top-. If eh could bend and twist it, he'd work it free of the rest of the shelf with his Draconic Might™. Then he'd do his best to bend and shape the top of the shelf into carrying cases for more eggs and thunderclubs.
Every time one of the others spoke into their suits, Skyscale jerked his head in the direction of the voice, trying to locate the invisible sneaky buggers. "Why are all of you invisible?"
While the material is durable, it is not more durable than the amount of strength that you can bring to bear.
Skyscale did his very best to make a Mighty Draconic Box of Carrying™.
Others she talks to Skyscape
"SkyScale this is a ... magic communication ... [unknown word] thing that lets you talk to us and lets us talk to you, we are where yo left us. You know if this thing has [unknown word] then that means there is a [unknown word] [unknown word] some where close so that the [unknown word] can link to the [unknown word] bothways. So where is the [unknown word] and who is overseeing it? o Sky just talk and the .... magic will send your voice to us. not that is any use as you have no idea how to talk to the others. So forget that, just talk to me if you need to"
She talks
"Good! that means you can walk in front and when any thing attack you. You can fight it all hand to hand, wile we blast it and you from a safe distance. Your noble, principled and quit pointless sacrifice will be noted and may even make its way to appreciated, but we will have to wait and see. Or you can hid behind us while we used [unknown word] to [unknown word] the little [unknown word]"
"Why can I only hear you? Did you not say this is a shooting range for many creatures to hunt us in? If this is their hunting gear, why do they not also wear it? Or does this mean that they can hear us and know where we are?" Screeeeech. SCRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEERRRRR. Came from across the armory as he spoke.
You are able to make a trough, but it has no sides, meaning that it's less than useful for holding a lot of things in.
Skyscale looks at the trough curiously. If he used his tail to hold one end closed... and kept his neck at a strange angle, he could totally make this work. No. That wouldn't work that well. He stuffed the shelf back on top of the other shelves. No one would ever notice. And then proceeded to pile all the stuff back in... then started to work on another shelf-to-crate Transformation.
REEEEERRRRR. SHRIIIIIEK. SCCRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZCHCHCHCHCHC. PING PING. REEEAAAAAK.
In response to Isabela's comments, Korash bows.
If he can see what Skyscale is doing, he'll try to help (while he's not especially strong, his hands can become magically-hardened cutting and stabbing implements at will).
Skyscale gladly accepts the protips from his lured Korash. He is, after all, an expert boxcrafter.
Looks at the others then gets 3 more guns
Between Korash and Skyscale, you manage to create a 5' cube box which will hold most things (not including liquids, obviously).
Sky bowed his head to Korash in thanks, and then began gathering lightning clubs and eggs to put in his mobile horde. That way, when they met friendly people, they could give them an egg and a club, so they could speak with Calista. And be cool.
Once he'd loaded his Box of Draconic Might™, Skyscale would work to lever it onto his back, and offer any remaining eggs or clubs that he'd gathered to Korash once more. Once that process of probable denials was over with, he would then go gather his psionic gorillon, placing that atop the crate as gingerly as he could. "I wonder if we will find the machine they use to revive us after hunting us nearby." He offered into the suit, speaking louder than was necessary.
