Marya: Pepper gives her his best boyish grin, "I donna know about a set up, but I like the line. Let's just say I be likin' the decorations aroun' here." His eyes widen slightly, "Umm..I no be sayin' that you are just ornamental...I'm sure you be very good at your job."
At the discussion of all the numbers and particulars of the possible loan, Pepper promptly loses interest. He, somewhat subtly, makes eyes at the Councilor's assistant while wandering the room a bit to look at various decorations and odds and ends.
My lead on an assassin's stash is likely not to take too long. Might be a good second step.
"Aye, we found the amulets from two of your people, with what was left of their remains. One seemed to be eaten by an outta control mushroom beastie. The other seemed to have gotten on the bad side of your scarecrow guard. The messed up time portal that Anton mentioned seemed to be the main cause, letting the fungus, buggies, and such get outta control. Fix that and you should be able to take control of the place again, seems to me."
I'm back! Thanks for bearing with my absence.
I am getting married in the next week and then honeymooning in St Lucia. So my posting will be intermediate to say the least until November 6th. Sorry for any inconvenience it causes anyone. I will be able to update the next few days, but will disappear for a while after that for a while. It is not due to lack of interest obviously.
Pepper seems uninterested in beating the bushes as he focuses on what is drawn from the scarecrow. "Why's this beastie keep attacking that wee little creature?"
"Hey now! You be leaving him alone too!" Pepper yells as he shifts to put the scarecrow between himself and Weyland. He brings his club around, trying to knock the head off the scarecrow.
As the scarecrow rises to his feet, Pepper takes an angry swing at it. "Stupid, mindless, beastie!"
Pepper is not so good at "pulling his punches" once he gets going.
"This scarecrow ain't going to be hurtin' this wee thing!" Pepper charges the scarecrow before it reaches the creature.
Pepper calmly moves to look around the corner and see where the scarecrow is heading.
Pepper flips his club over in his hand and and checks his grip. "Let me take a look. You be taking a step back. Let whatever be in there hit me first if it be dangerous." Pepper approaches the door carefully. Once he gets close he bursts through, trying to surprise what may be in the room.
Pepper helps clear the ceiling and then gives the door an exaggerated frown. "No one talks that way about me dear departed mother!" He gives the door a swift kick, chuckling as it gives way.
Pepper works furiously to help get the vegetation off the roof, but when things quiet down and people start peering into corners he quickly appears bored. He takes a nearby tool and starts poking at the shriveling pools of mucus, seeming amused by it's quivering.
"Shouldn't we be looking around this place more first before we be going through some portals elsewhere?"
Pepper brings his club down onto the slime, trying to splatter it into as many separate pieces as possible.
I'm confused about the initiative order. I think I went out of order before and there was no resolution of that action (jumping from the ceiling and attacking the fungus. Sorry if I messed things up.
Seeing that the fungus is not actually burned by the "sunlight" Pepper tightens his grip on his club and gathers his courage. Finally, with a loud yell, Pepper pounces on the mobile fungus. As he is bringing his club down he tucks his shoulder, hoping to avoid damage from his fall.
Aku has dancing lights 3/day. Can we have him cast that since he is not here to cast it himself? It will only last a minute, but hopefully we will find a lamp or something. Marching order will be:
"Them livin' quarters may be a good ta find clues." Pepper suggests.
Pepper continues to stare at the scarecrow's eyes, mezmorized. "Crazy...."
"Those eyes be crazy." Pepper manages to stammer.
When he figures that something is coming through the corn towards the group, Pepper stops and hisses out to Weyland,"Psss...Weyland, stay hidden." Over his shoulder he says louder, "Casters back up. Tarek, make sure there no be anyone sneaking up behind us."
Pepper steps up to the final locust and crushes it with his club. "We ought to be findin' a safe place before we be lookin' for more of these things. We may be needin' a place to run to if we be overwhelmed."
Pepper grimaces at the giant insects, "Be wary, we pro'ly be surrounded."
Pepper scratches his cheek as he looks around, "How do ya plan to figure out where we be when we be in the mittle of a corn fielt and canna see anythin' else?" He smiles lopsidedly at Aku.
Pepper eyes Marya suggestively on his way out of the room. Outside he is all smiles, "Aw 'at gold 'll be spot on ta wha' we need fur Grandmutter."
I'm fine with going to the meeting.
As Pepper walks in his eyes are drawn to the armored guards. He quietly assesses them as he stands towards the back of the group. When the lady approaches to offer them drinks he gives her a crooked grin and with a twinkle in his eye responds, "I be not drinkin' t'day, thank you kindly doll."
It's the nature of play by post that there are lulls. It's not that things are stalling, its just that people can not always check the thread through the day. I wouldn't worry about another thread Harakani, just be patient.
Varton one sounds quick and not too dirty.
Pepper stares at Shae obviously trying to discern of he is joking. He shakes his head after a moment, "I be not for goin' to Hell, certainly I be not!" He looks to the others, "Well, if we be lookin' for a quick job, then the pest issue and a job I know of seem the quickest. You know that killer that worked down the road, the woman. Ever'one said that she had a stash somewhere, but those that kil't her couldn't find it. Now, ever'one said she had a ring that kept her outta the jakes, a good thing for someone who watches people for long times, but I saw her out at her outhouse for a long time on more than one occasion. I'd bet Grandmutter's broach that her stash is out there, hidden."
"I'm still for checkin out Erik's offer. Though I migh have another idea of it don't work out."
Turns out I have American cell reception at the lake house we are staying at 8-), though I will be checking less often.
I will be in Canada until Friday and likely will not be able to post.
When Pepper sees the bloody phlem he keeps his head down and continues passing the food, a sad look on his face. At Tarek's questioning, he grimaces, "Well, if you don't want to upset the young ones, then let's talk later."
"Hey, I'm not gonna start a fight with 4 guys and their wild pooches until I got some backup in place. I'm not THAT stupid." Pepper smiles. Pepper follows Shae to Grandmother's room.
I think it went well too. It was good team work.
Pepper gives Shae a small grin, "Thanks. I'm just glad it turned out ok. I wonder if that Erik guy will be able to keep Ragnar from retaliating. He said something about some work for us. If it paid well enough, then maybe we can get some medicine for Grandmother?"
It is all good! I'm not aggravated with Tarek's view point, Pepper is 8-). LightspeedWing has not participated in any online campaigns. |
