Suny jumps back startled as the glint of steel flashes in the light,
"Ah!"
"OWIE!" She exclaims as the realization hits home. Much like the tiny weapon.
"HEY! Mr Bryndarys? Yer doggy peoples in't playin' nice!" Sunny calls to Mr Invisible, even as she frowns mightily at the Pugwampi which attacked her.
"Of course they're not. I promised them only mayhem, and I'm loathe to break that promise. Especially," he says quickly, "While in the grasp of your well-endowed bull friend."
Manny moves beautifully to be on the other side of the group of tiny monsters, but he feels like the universe divides and fails to actually hit them.
Suny frowns at the Pugwampi's, "Bad doggies!" She scolds them, then looks around for some paper to start rolling up.
You don't see any paper, but there's a bit of loose animal vellum lying about...
*Waves rolled up something menacingly at the Pugwampies.*
"G'wan! SCOOT!" She begins to try and heard/move/push the little critters back towards the place where they cam in through.
Zeltor had not said a word in a long time, and he did not find the need to say any right now, letting his arrows do the talking for him, aiming two rapid shots at the creature attacking Sunny.
------
Sunny attempts to terrify the nearby creatures with a piece of leather paper. This goes as well as can be expected.
Sorval lunges with a rapier, but manages to miss ingloriously as Zeltor covers the furniture in arrows.
Round 2
Ruul manages to literally squish one underfoot before its evil friend stabs him in the ankle.
Zeltor is acutely aware of two more pugwampi approaching the door to the room.
Manny hops up to F-2 and tosses a dagger at the Pugi at F-6
Sunny continues to try and get the little dickens out of the place.
Abandoning the piece of thing to swat and slap at them. (Only slightly more effectively...)
Manny's dagger lodges in the pugwampi targeted, but the little jerk just barks at the disguised goblin.
Sunny, meanwhile, has no trouble slapping the other monster near the table into a little pulpy, furry slop.
Sorval readies a position next to the door to attack anything that enters.
Taking a step back, the monk refocuses his attacks at the one creature closest to him - "I had never heard any recounts of such creatures in the village or around it" - he adds - "Have you?"
-----------------
Zeltor peppers the las pugwampi in the room full of arrows.
"Well, you should know I had four associates, if you're going to be thorough."
DMNPC Sorval:
"I know. I heard one more set of yips. Let's just see if your last one is going to enter in through this door...."
Ruul tromps into the next room at Sorval's behest and makes short work of the last pugwampi, lapsing the entire shop into an uneasy silence...
So..now that ugliness is over, I think you better rethink your goal on trashing the shop.
"It is not as if he has left me with much less else to take, save his reputation." hummed Bryndarys. "And the seeds of that have likely already been sown."
The man/creature/thing gave a gentle laugh. "Doubtlessly he blamed someone else, with less perceived moral fibre."
Well it looks like this is just death and despair for everyone. He kilt someone important to you, the Pugwampis are dead and their little pugwampi pups are gunna be crying because they don't have anyone to feed them, and whatever is going to happen to the owner is gunna happen.
So. He looks at his allies. What are we going to do about him? Manny points at Ruul's hand.
Suny... chin wobbling with potential grief upon hearing Manny's words, begins the sad and solemn takes of cleaning away the Pugwampis. (;_;)
Sunny finds 4 tiny daggers in the gore. :)
Zeltor nods at Ruul's words - "Some sort of understanding will have to be reached, or you will simply end up being turned to the authorities - you will gain no respite, no vengeance, nothing in the end" - he adds to his companion's reasoning.
Having done the best she can to clean and tidy the place up Suny walks over to where Ruul is holding the invisible talking person...
And gives them/it a smack across the head.
"You are a bad person!" She declairs, voice almost breaking.
"You led tha' doggy peoples in here an' is your fault they got all...all..." Suny can't finish her statement as her emotions roil. So she simply smacks the invisible person across the head again.
"Oof! They eat their own young and parents if they can't get a quick meal and reproduce like rats." Bryndarys seethes. "And no mortal court can judge me.... I am not of you. As for working with the merchant? Pah... I would prefer to watch him squirm..."
He pauses. "But we could come... to a mutual ground... if you would help me terrify him a little."
Sunny gives the naughty man(?) another smack on'a head. :(
"Ye bin bad!" She points out emphatically and physically again.
"I give me ideas an' critters got all squshed a'cause of ye!" She gives him(?) another smack.
"Why shouln't we cares if'n Ruul dun't jus' squish you like them poor doggy peoples, hey?" *Smack*
"We be havin' no problems then, hey?" *Smack*
The captive silently takes the abuse.
"If you must." Bryndarys responds a bit too quickly...
So just tell us of this plan to terrify him just a bit?
That might have been his plan for a while now.
"Simple. Put me back in my box and present it to him."
Anyone have an idea just who or what this guy is? We might take him somewhere to see just what he can do.
"We can't simply kill him Ruul" - the monk is quick to add - "Though his continued deception do deserve punishment" - he ponders to his companion - "I am not sure however if the authorities will have the necessary resources to deal with someone with his powers"
Anyone have an idea just who or what this guy is? We might take him somewhere to see just what he can do.
"I do not know Manny - would this be some kind of perverted fey creature? I am inclined to speak to the dwarf about this though, maybe witohut his presence"
Sunny, still seeming wavering between crying and raging, stands with her hands on her hips for a moment staring intently at the 'space' between Ruul's hands....
.... Before she turns and begins looking, rummaging about through the store.
You find some thick, black paint.
>:)
Sunny waddles back towards Ruul and Mr Nasty, gripping the handle of some large bucket with both hands.
"Hold tha' lil' bugger out Ruul." She asks even as she strains to get the bucket and its contents ready for tipping out.
"He might get a tad slippery, so jus' be careful, okeys?" Sunny asks/suggests waiting for Ruul to indicate that he's ready for Sunny's actions to happen. Then Sunny giggles as a thought strikes her.
"Or... we can jus' y'know, dunk tha' lil' bugger?" Sunny suggests sizing up the shape in Ruul's hands and the size of her bucket....
>:)
Manny facepalms.
Sunny giggles, though there's a darkness lurking beneath the mirth...
"Jus' dumk him in'a stuff" Sunny suggests. "Is hard enough ta clean tha place as t'is." Sunny puts the bucket down and takes a hold of the critter, helping Ruul dunk the pest.
"In ya go!" >:)
She has these issues. Manny explains to the invisible thing.
The black paint drips all over the thing in Ruul's hands, revealing a graceful form in a ratted coat. However, the legs have an animal bend to them (as if they belong to a hairless, two-toed hair with talons), and the hands are too small for Bryndarys's framek whilst his fingers are long and pointy.
"Clearly." Bryndarys starts to laugh.
ClEarLyyyYYYY..." He repeats, his voice taking on a reality-bending dual-tone.
His feet crack and elongate, growing two new boney toes apiece. His legs also start lengthening.
"SomEoNe sHhHoUld TeAcH hEr a LeSsOnnnn... sHaMe yOu cAnNoT bE uSeD iN hIs uNdOooIng... wOuLd hAvE meANT mOre bUt I can WoOOORrrrk wItH tHis...!"
Well, up until a second ago, one would have identified that anatomy as belonging to a malicious fey called a quickling. Though a powerful one to maintain invisibility...
He may be manifesting a truer form... a nightmarish one that will make him very, very hard to kill without the help of a priest or something to seal him in...
He's seeping something warm from his underarms. You're relatively sure it isn't paint.
(O_o)
Sunny has absolutely no idea as to what the thing is she now sees... Nor about the change coming over it. All pretense of mirth or sadness gone as her large, blue eyes grow wide. Whether in amazement or fright is hard to discern. That Sunny takes a few steps back/away and glances about which might indicate the latter.
