"Amada, watch out!" she shrieked, spotting a moving puddle up ahead.
She shrieked and backed away as fast as she could.

I totally forgot I had a status cast on Ephebe...would that have picked up the emotional rolelr coaster earlier, and her panic now?

Hmmm....it's a tough call as to whether she would have been considered panicked or not. The spell tracks conditions not emotions... I'm gonna say no so far. But of course he'd know right away if she were wounded or such.

Lysander shakes his head.

Sighs
Ephebe |
"Come on," Ephebe said, grabbing Amada's arm and heading back towards the gym. "I don't know about you, but I am not loaded for ooze."
She burst into the gym, gun in hand and looking a little freaked out.
"Mom! There's an ooze wandering the hall! I hit it with a slow spell, but it needs to be contained before it eats someone!"
Lysander Sandwalker |
"As for any specific clan.. I am sorry, again it is something that differs amongst our people."
"One thing you should know though, that has nothing to do with Hunters directly, is that it is best if Ephebe stays afraid of me and away from my cousins. I am not choosing sides in this fight between her kind and the other Hunter."
He pauses.
If you or your friends start acting differently towards me, it could tip off the Hunter that something has changed. If he thinks I am an ally, he may target my cousins. After I deal with him I will come after you for putting them in danger, however indirectly."
Keaton Bloodfang |
She burst into the gym, gun in hand and looking a little freaked out.
"Ah, Ephebe! How goes my star theology student?"
"Mom! There's an ooze wandering the hall! I hit it with a slow spell, but it needs to be contained before it eats someone!"
"Well, that can't be good. The oozes usually stay in the pipes where there is plenty of food..."

I should add here, yes he is a kobold, yes he is a small creature. Lysander may not take his threat seriously, and who'd blame him. But a Sense Motive will tell him that Krays believes he could dispatch him, if it came down to it. It's not bravado.
Lysander Sandwalker |
Lysander bows.
"I am Lysander."

"I've had better days," she said, a bit evasively.
"And this ooze seemed awful hungry. It went after Amada and I pretty quick."

Not to sound snippy (I probably will), but the fact that the oozes are secret is rather important in defining Vakkler's character. He does his best to keep creatures like Keaton (and pretty much anybody)out of the sewers so nobody can discover his duplicity. So it kind of irritates me when you seem to take it for granted that not only does Keaton know, but that he throws it out in front of students without any sort of discretion. I apologize if I was unclear about the general knowledge of the oozes, so I'd like to repeat it more plainly: Unless there's a good reason, I'd prefer nobody know about the state of the sewers. If this is too much to hope for, then I'd appreciate at least some token secrecy in front of the student body.

Lysander bows.

Chuckles...

Agreed. Consider it retconned. :)
"Keaton, watch the class for a minute. I'm going to go box this thing up before any students get hurt."
She dashed out of the gym and started looking for the ooze.
Ephebe |
Spin whispers to Asch…

She blinked. His telepathy was already improving. He hadn't even shouted at her that time.
Spin:
Asch Redgrave |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Asch whispers back.
He still keeps his eyes on the vampire watching just in case he does anything. He stands next to Amada with one arm around her waist.
Spin |
He's not improving… he's embarrassed. ;p
Spin shrugs.
The thought is cut off by Asch's whisper, and he whispers back.

"Keaton, watch the class for a minute. I'm going to go box this thing up before any students get hurt."
She dashed out of the gym and started looking for the ooze.
Aananda finds the ooze 'chasing' after an amused dwarf student. The dwarf is moving comically slow to 'flee' the retarded slime.
Did I use that word in the correct, non-offensive way? I'm not sure it's even usable anymore... :PMeanwhile, Jiminy sees another slime start to ooze out of the pipes. He seems to have slowed it/them down, but not stopped them.
Ephebe |
Spin:
She took a deep breath. Okay, she could do this. Pretend like everything was normal. She was good at that. She'd had practice.
"So, I guess we're not going to the library after all. Might as well stay and finish class then," she said to Amada.

Aananda stomps on the floor to bring stones up around the creature and gestures, bringing her hand together as the stone flowed up and around the ooze encasing it completely.
"What were you thinking?" she snapped at the student. "What would you have done if that spell had worn off?! I suggest you think about that since I expect you to write me an essay on the subject tonight in detention!"
"Now go fetch Vakkler Relkav. Underground creatures are his specialty, he should know what to do with this one," she added, looking at the stone box uncertainly. What was she supposed to do with it now?
Aanandareavekki |
She heard the scream and went running towards it. She found James trying to keep away from another hungry ooze, this one not moving slowly at all.
"James, get into the hall," she called out, waiting just a moment to let him go past before bringing up more stone to box the second ooze.
This one is moving at normal speed so it should probably get a reflex save to avoid being trapped.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
The ooze is unable to escape before being trapped.That sentence reads oddly strange. Almost nearly redundant or something or other...

She nodded and used stone to cap off the open pipe.
Then she turned around and crossed her arms, looking at Jiminy.
"Do I want to know?" she asked drily.
Vakkler Relkav |
Jiminy blushed and rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously.
"I didn't do it!" he blurted out. "I mean, I was going to do something, but then there were goo balls coming out of the pipes, so I never actually did anything! This time," he added, sheepishly.
Vakkler clenches his fist, eye narrowed. "Y-your--ma'am, with all due respect, your son is a born liar. I think it quite likely that these oozes came from him."
Aanandareavekki |
"No, Vakkler, that you're wrong about. James is a born troublemaker, but he's painstakingly honest about it. Not a lot of point in trying to lie in a family of telepaths. I believe him. Although we're going to have a little talk later about what you were planning to do, James," she added darkly.

"Maybe, maybe not. Now, what's going on?"
Aanandareavekki |
"Oozes. I've got two of them boxed up," she said, pointing to the stone box in the hallway and the one in the bathroom, "and I've put a cap on the pipe they were climbing out of. There's still more down there. Not sure how we ended up with oozes in the school, but we obviously can't have them attacking the students. I'm...well, really I have no idea how to deal with these things. I've got them trapped, but now what?"

"Erm...perhaps put them back?"

"In the pipes? But they'll just get out again," she said doubtfully. "These things were acting really hungry. And we can't have them trying to eat the students."

"Well, gray oozes are ravenous creatures. But they seem to have stayed down there up until your son's little joke."
Khoda |
The shriek, however, tails off, and becomes a strange roar. Thunder cracks. The now-familiar stink of burned ozone fills the air.
The power goes out.
There is a strange hissing sizzle and then *WHOOOOOOOOMMMM* as the bathroom doors get blasted to smithereens by a meter-thick lightning bolt, along with most of the door frame and the closet across the hall and most of the room behind it.
Nasima-as-Khoda comes floating out of the bathroom, her shoulder and leg both badly burned, probably by acid. Her eyes are like ball lightning and stray bolts are arcing off of her, fusing metal and bursting tile and pipe. She turns and her jaw distends, dropping a sickening inch or two past what it should, and another huge bolt of raw electrical power streams out of her mouth: *SSHHHZKKKKKKKKKKK* Cooked ooze bits splatter out past her, some deflecting off the electrical shield coruscating around her. She fires two more lightning bolts from her hands with similar results, then floats gently down to the ground.
"HHAAAAAAHHHHH!!! HHHAHHHHhhhhhhh"
Nasima Shearskye |
"hhhhh.....ung" The sylph collapses in the dark on the floor, unconscious again. Her body is still pretty badly burned from the oozes' acid, but the now-utterly demolished bathroom is in far worse shape. There are the completely carbonized remains of oozes here and there, and all the pipes have been fused shut, as have the drains. Khoda apparently melted all the metal and shut every opening with solid blocks of it in order to protect his Channel.
The power is still every bit as out as Nasima is.
Aanandareavekki |
"Nasima!" Alarmed she rushes to check on the now unconscious girl.
She turned around.
"James, get her to the infirmary now!"
She turned back to Vakkler. "And this is why oozes in the pipes are a bad idea. How did they even get down there? Look, you deal with the remaining two. I'm gonna be busy fixing the power for the next few hours. Not to mention the plumbing. I just need to go tell Keaton to take over for the rest of my advanced class first."
