Did we win? Is that all of them? "I think so," Hiro replies as he warily eyes the giant spider that the maggots burst from, "but best be careful." Seeing that Kipka is in good hands with Willow, Hiro cautiously approaches the spider carcass, sword ready, checking for any further signs of demon-maggots (or anything else for that matter).
"So sorry miss Ionnia," Hiro replies as he scrapes some of the demon-maggot off himself, "and thank you! I learn technique from Hattori Hanzo himself! Greatest Samurai warrior of my time. Maybe even in history..." Hiro tapers off as he briefly reminisces back to some of his training exercises with Hattori and a pang of loss crosses his face wondering whether or not his master survived the attack that brought him here. "Buck up and hold in there everyone." Willow's statement brings Hiro back out of his memories. No time for the future-past. Must focus on saving this world. "Miss Willow is right. We need to treat wounded and get them mobile. Not safe here. More attacks may come. Must find shelter and get wounded to safety. Does anyone have idea where we are?"
"Ah. Um. Yes! Good work Hiro! You followed Cernan's plan perfectly! Cernan's clever distraction gave you the opportunity to attack it unopposed! Good teamwork!" "Thank you Holy One! It is an honor to fight by your side!" Hiro beams enthusiatically. The three disgusting maggots attack. The one leaking pale goo from the deep wound Kipka dealt it regurgitates livid green spider guts all over her. Hiro turns to Kipka, holding his breath as best he can, "You OK Kipka?!? Miss Willow!" Hiro yells, "I think Kipka need doctor help! She covered in demon-bile!"
Having finished off the other demon-maggot, Hiro moved in behind the last filthy creature, barely avoiding Cernan's wild swings, and strikes!
"The worst thing about fighting demon-things is they're all so blasphemously ugly!" "No, Ionnia, I think it the smell!" Hiro replies as the force of his blow cuts deep into the filthy demon-maggot spraying ichor everywhere in the process!
Hiro's blade has tasted the blood of his enemy, not the enemy Hiro would prefer, but one day the Storm Lord will feel Hiro's blade. For now, Hiro focuses all his anger and rage and sadness at the events of the day on this one pathetic creature in front of him and lashes out recklessly at it!
"Hang on Kipka! I coming!" Hiro cries.
The shock of the creatures burrowing out of the abdomen of the spider is quickly over and Hiro's training kicks in. He catches Ionnia out of the corner of his eye run by and engage the maggot on the left and Kipka appears ready to take them all on and decides the best course of action is to take the maggot on the right so that they do not double team the little gnome.
As Hiro makes his way toward Kipka and the spider corpse he overhears Willow and Cernan tending to the elf wizard and silently agrees with them. "There is so much at stake," he thinks to himself, "we need every one there is, no matter who they are or how able they may be, to contribute in any small way to get us through this and not have my future come to pass." "Kipka," Hiro says, "I do not see anyth---aaaaagh!" just as the maggots burst forth from the corpse! Sword drawn, Hiro springs into action!
Guys? I think we have a survivor over here, but not one of ours... "What?? Don't do anything experimental my dear." Buh wee ngot noo whad we are up agenst "Guard it certainly, but no untoward prodding." Hiro barely registered what Miss Kipka and Willow were talking about while straining to lift the boulder off the archer. Now that she is free of the boulder and Willow is tending to her it finally registers. "Hiro, would you be so kind as to assist Ms Kipka? I'd rather not have any MORE surprises for one day!" "Of course," Hiro replies to Cernan. "Miss Kipka, Willow and Cernan are right. Do not risk further injury alone," Hiro states as he draws his sword and walks toward the gnome and the spider corpse. As Hiro nears the gnome and the spider he quietly asks Kipka "What do you see?" as he examines the spider but keeps his eyes and ears open for additional dangers.
"Ionnia, Hiro, and Willow, If you would be so kind as to all step over to this side of the rock and lift on my cue. Kipka, as we lift can you slide in some of these smaller stones underneath it? To prevent it rolling back? We need not lift the entire mountain and throw it into the sea, we need only tilt enough to free the ladies leg. A little to the left Hiro, thank you. Ionnia next to me, there. Everyone ready?" Hearing the call for aid, Hiro lowers the boy to the ground and tells him "Go over to man there and stay with him" as he points to the merchant. "I will be near. It's OK." After waiting for the boy to make it to the merchant Hiro maneuvers his way through the rubble toward Cernan, sheathing his sword as he goes. He then positions himself on the rock where Cernan has directed him and on Cernan's count puts his full 132 pounds into it!
Hiro just has time to secure his grip on the boy when he hears, no feels, the impact of Terendelev into the cathedral. Before he can even react the ground around Hiro splits and cracks open, a great gaping maw of darkness opens up beneath him. Hiro hears Khorramzedeh gloating over the fallen Terendelev but the words fall on deaf ears, their meaning irrelevant. Hiro locks eyes with Terendelev in that brief instant before his plunge into darkness, the moment seems a lifetime in length, without a spoken word her message is clear. The fate of the world now rests on his shoulders and those brave enough to shoulder that burden with him. The sadness for all the loss around him in Terendelev's eyes brings Hiro to tears and the last image Hiro sees before the plunging darkness is the Storm Lord's sword decapitating Terendelev. As Hiro begins to fall he states quite calmly to Khorramzedeh, mindless of whether or not the Storm Lord can hear him, "I come for you Khorramzedeh. Prepare yourself." Then all is darkness... After drifting down for a minute that felt like eternity, Hiro lands unceremoniously on the broken ground with his arms still wrapped protectively around the boy. "You OK?" he asks, getting a whimper in return. Good enough, he thinks to himself. Hiro then hears a shaky voice call out in the darkness. "Is...is anyone here?" Before Hiro can respond he hears Willow call out. "Maybe....Depends on where here is!" Right about then Hiro hears another, larger, booming voice, call out in Celestial "Let there be light!" and the darkness is filled with a bright, warm light emanating from Cernan's head not too far away. The more light the better Hiro thinks to himself and with a word, "Shirak" he calls out and a stark, bright light emanates from the end of Hiro's sword. It does not have the same warm, comforting feeling of the light coming from Cernan but anything is better than the pitch blackness. Hiro then hears Ionnia call out "I'm over here, Willow, Cernan. Anyone else here? Kipka? Hiro?" "Ib ober here..." Kipka replies, "We candt day herr. We godt to find a way oudt." "Kipka is right," Hiro states. "We cannot stay. Things in motion. Must stop future from happening. Cannot rely on finding other heroes. Must take action now. Anyone know where we are?" He asks taking in their surroundings now that there is sufficient light to see by.
"To cathedral! Quickly!" Hiro shouts the the corpulent man once the demon-spider threat had been neutralized. Hiro and Kipka's triumph over the demon-spider was short lived, however, as he witnesses in horror as a demon-centipede pounces on Kipka, delivering a nasty bite. "KIPKA!!" Hiro screams as he starts to rush to her aid, only to find a half-orc woman has beaten him there and dispatched the foul creature. "Thank you!" he blurts out to the half-orc woman. "Kipka, you allright?" he asks the brave gnome.
Feeling the gnome is as safe as can be at the moment, Hiro turns his attention to the rest of the chaos that was once a peaceful plaza. He quickly spots the giant Cernan cleverly distracting some demon-maggot from a small elven boy and makes his move.
"Easy child! You are safe with Hiro!" he tells the boy, as he picks him up, trying to keep him calm and not struggle. Mentally, he repositions his magical shield to the left side of his body to better protect the boy from any harm.
Hiro reaches the spider-creature and attempts to bring his sword down upon it with a vicious slash!
Hiro notices the plight of the corpulent man and toddler he is carrying about the same time as Willow and Kipka do and spurs into action racing across the shaking ground to position himself between the man and foul creatures if possible.
As Hiro races to the aid of the man and toddler a particularly strong quake knocks Willow from her feet, nearly taking Hiro down himself. He manages to barely avoid Willow and stumbles a bit without falling before recovering himself, amazed at the little gnome and how light on her feet she is despite the burden of her trinkets. He briefly checks on Willow to make sure she is OK before advancing on the spider-creature sword raised, a war cry bellowing from his mouth!
Hiro quickly takes a moment to identify the creatures in the sky and the foul creatures coming through the cracks in the earth.
While assessing his opponents Hiro decides that discretion is the better part of valor and begins and incantation that coalesces arcane energy and forms it into an invisible shield in front of him.
Hiro's spell DC 16 Spellcraft:
Hiro is casting Shield. His spell complete, Hiro follows Ionnia's lead and moves slowly toward the stage mindful of where he steps with the ground itself being torn asunder. While moving towards the stage Hiro informs his companions of the specific threats they face (provided his roll was high enough).
Hiro follows the intrepid gnome through the crowd amazed at the bravado and effectiveness of the tactic she employs, while apologizing to those pour souls along the way not fast or smart enough to get out of the way her prickly belongings. Hiro spots Dere at the front of the stage and then his attention is drawn to an aged figure on the steps of the cathedral. "This must be one of the leaders that Dere is going to introduce me to," he thinks to himself. Hiro feels a surge of impatience at the need for this ceremony when so much is at stake and then feels the light from behind and sees the look of horror upon the aged mans face and knows, deep down, that it is too late. Hiro turns with the rest of the crowd to see the ruin of what was once the fortress Kite. "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!" Hiro exclaims in Tian. "I am too late! I still need to find the heroes!" Hiro then hears Willow, Ionnia and Cernan barking out orders and his military training takes over, squashing the fear and dread that was rising from the pit of his stomach, and draws his sword and steps into place behind Ionnia and Caden and in front of Willow and Kipka. "I agree with Ionnia!" Hiro yells over the throng. "We should get to Dere! This is only beginning!" Hiro warns. "The worst is yet to come!"
I just hope the Iomedaeans won't think Hiro's story means he's a witch or something. "Why would someone think Hiro a witch? Hiro not lying. A Samurai is sworn to uphold truth!" Hiro replies as everyone gathers their belongings and heads back out into the street following the little gnome. As they travel the city streets Hiro has a chance to really take in his surroundings for the first time. The city is amazing and full of life and cheer. Nothing like the battle-weary fortress cities from back home with people feeding off scraps of garbage, or worse, just to survive. When they reach the top of the switchback and the spires of the Cathedral can be seen Hiro stops for a moment to take it all in and a tear quickly forms that he brushes away immediately. "I must not fail," he thinks out loud to no one in particular. "Where we go to now?" Hiro asks Kipka. "I cannot miss opportunity to tell my story and find heroes and stop my future from happening."
Hiro watches the ceremony with great reverence and awe.
Listening carefully to Dere's intoned words and gestures Hiro's regard for this woman is confirmed as soon as he realizes the spell she has cast. Things are busy with the opening ceremony at noon, but if you'll stay in front of the cathedral in the Clydwell Plaza after the ceremony is finished, I should be able to gain you a short audience with Hulrun, Alodae or Sunnestier. But no wasting their time, now! You have to know what you want to say! I can't be looking foolish in front of such important people. "Hulrun, Alodae or Sunnestier. These are leaders of Crusade then?" Hiro asks no one in particular. "The ancestors have spoken through Dere and I must be off at once then if I am have any hope of locating group of heroes before it too late. Please, my friends, could you show me way to Plaza?" Hiro asks expectantly. Directed to Dere, Hiro adds in Tian, "Thank you Honored One. I promise not to make you look foolish. The fate of the world is at stake and I must not fail."
That will be a total of 6 silver. Free refills on the tea. Hiro reaches into his coin purse and pulls out what he hopes to be the equivalent of 7 silver, bows to her and states: "Please accept this meager tip, I hope it is enough for your services." Bows again and sits back down at the table where he addresses the rest of the table "Allow me to buy food. Is least I can do for you helping me."
"I am honored to met you Dere," Hiro replies to her then adding in Tian "I have met you for the first time." Hiro then sits back down at the table. "I have also just met these good people. They have agreed to help me get started in right direction for my mission by getting me to speak with Crusade leaders." A champion for both Shelyn and Caiden Cailean. I wonder, do any of you others follow The Inheritor? "I am devout follower of Shizuru," Hiro replies, then hastily adds "probably not as well known here."
Do you mind if I cast a fortune? I find myself intrigued. Hiro immediately stands up and bows hastily, almost falling over himself, and respectfully to Dere. "We would be most honored!" he blurts out with obvious excitement and anticipation. "Yes, please!" Hiro is so obviously enamored at the prospect of the fortune reading that it takes him a minute to realize that he is still standing and the rest of the bar is looking at him like he is the town lunatic. He quickly sits back down and adds in a quieter voice, "by all means, please proceed Honored One."
Did you sort out the kerfuffle? Hah! 'Kerfuffle', Good one! "What is this Ker...Kerrfuff...Kerrfluffyel? I am not familiar with this word." Hiro asks, continuing to pour tea for everyone at the table.
"I am here on very important mission to save world." Hiro states evenly. "Miss Willow and her friends," Hiro gestures to the trio outside dealing with the upset Crusader and the vendor, "have been kind enough to help to talk with people in charge of Crusade." on the mystery Tian woman. Not that Hiro does not trust her or think she is lying (he truly does not believe she would lie to him) in any fashion but just to try to get a "read" on her.
for first check.
for second check. Hiro, blindsided by her approach, completely loses his composure with respect to this strange Minkai woman. He is not sure whether or not to stand and bow or start pouring tea for her and finds himself bouncing up and down out of his chair flustering over words that fail to properly remove themselves from his mouth while nearly knocking over the tea pot. "Honored ancestor," Hiro begins in formal Tian while finally bringing the teapot under control, "allow me to apologize for my lack of proper formality. I am completely at your service. I also apologize for not having ritually cleansed any of the utensils an for not having them all present." Hiro then bows respectfully to his honored guest and pours the tea into her cup. Hiro notices Willow's interest at the ceremony and switches back to common, "Normally, all dishes ritually cleansed and tea first poured into single, large bowl that each guest drinks from. Then individual tea's served to each guest in own cup." Turning back to the strange woman, Hiro switches back to Tian, "I am here on a very important mission for our homeland. How may I be of service to you? And if it is not to forward, may I ask your name, honored one?"
"But if you succeed, save the future maybe you can go back?" Willow takes a sip of tea; "Well see if we can get an audience with the crusaders after tea. Ionnia has some influence." "I do not know if able to go back to my time. Will certainly not be same if I succeed in my mission. At very least if I succeed I would like travel to my homeland in this time and at least see cherry blossoms..." Hiro states solemnly. "Would be very kind of all of you if you can assist with seeing crusaders. I have no way to repay your kindness now but will find way to make it up to you." he adds.
So you left your homeland and time to come and find the lost heroes? To help your people and all those in between." With a pause and looking the man a glint of admiration in her eye. "Your name is apt. "Yes, I left everything behind. It my duty as Samurai to serve the people, not just my people, but all people no matter who they be and to defend those that cannot defend themselves." states Hiro. "As for my name, I am not hero yet. That is still to be determined as to whether or not I succeed or fail." But won't you find it lonely? Cut off from your friends family, home comforts and dropped in a strange culture, a strange land." she concludes; "Or do you have a way to return home? "The way of the Samurai is lonely path. My friends and family are most likely now all dead. We attacked during ritual to open portal to this time. Our forces were overrun when I knocked through portal. As I understand it, this is one way trip. I cannot go back home." Hiro says with a touch of sadness and regret in his voice. "Should I succeed, that will be comfort enough knowing my home is safe."
Hiro watches as Cernan, Ionnia, and Kipka all get up to investigate the commotion and seems unsure as to whether or not he should join them. Fortunately, Hero, it is not always so busy a time. A festival is underway, which is good for us merchants. "A festival you say? I never been to a festival. We have not had anything to celebrate in my lifetime. What do you do at a festival?" Hiro asks. So I hear in the country of Tian they have tea ceremonies. Ceremony is very important, as is tea. Do they still have them in your time? "Oh yes. Ceremony very important. My master was strict on ceremony. He always say 'If you don't know where you come from, how do you know where you going. Ceremony tell us who we are so we always know who we want to be.'" Hiro responds. "We have many ceremony. Young Samurai often joke there is even ceremony for bathroom!" Hiro laughs at his own humor despite the enormity of the task before him. Hiro likes these good people he has so recently met and hopes that they survive the war to come.
Lol I couldn't think of town watch at the time!
Happy Leaking Roof Day!!! Errr... Birthday!
Hiro practically drools at the thought of fresh food. His stomach feels like it hasn't had anything in it in years. "Will this be enough to pay for all meals?" Hiro asks the woman in red as he sets his coin pouch on the table with a clink as the coins inside jingle. "It is least I can do for help you have given." Hiro directs toward his companions. To Cernan, "My homeland was once the most beautiful in all the land. My people tell of days when the Cherry Blossoms bloomed and then fell and would blanket the earth in a sea of red and white. The sight of it was said to bring even the most powerful Samurai to their knees weeping in joy. But all of that is gone now. Demons have made most of my homeland a wasteland. The only tears shed now are of grief and sorrow." A commotion across the street pulls Hiro from his story. "Is everything OK?" Hiro asks, pointing at the disturbance. "Are there authorities to assist here?"
No worries sir, no worries! A small cultural gap, that's what we have here. Nothing that can't be solved with a little chat over some good food! So, tell me about this place your from, this,... Tea And Zean? I take it from your odd sword that you are a warrior? "Tian Xia." Hiro replies. "It is land of Dragon Empires on other side of world across Crown of World." Hiro then pulls out his Rhoka sword and hands it hilt first to the Heaven's Touched. "I took it from demon in battle. My own sword lay broken on ground. He tried to run me through with it. Did not work out so well for him," Hiro adds with a smile. "I am Samurai Warrior. Apprentice to Greatest Samurai Lord in history, Hattori Hanzo. I also know magic, something that demon learned hard way when he thought me defenseless. My people call us Kensai. It is considered great gift to blend sword and sorcery in battle."
Well. You had best get started. Oh say! You should still come with us for a bite to eat! Can't save the world on an empty stomach now, can we? So, where was that place you were talking about Kipka? Lean on, lead on! Man has a world to save. Can't be ALL day now! "Well...my stomach is a bit on the empty side and after that Heavenly Brew you gave me it would be a good idea to put something less...strong in it." Hiro says as he falls in with Kipka. "Very sad," Hiro states to the little gnome, "his race is extinct where I am from. Demons hunted his people down with reckless abandon. There are stories of thousands of demons throwing their lives away attacking fortified positions only to kill a handful of the Heaven's Touched and then leave. I never thought I would ever see one alive." Kipka, do you know of anyone in town who speak Tien Absorbed in though Hiro only partially registers Ionnia's question, "Oh, I speak Tian very good," Hiro offers, then realizes his error and blushes with embarrassment. "Oh, sorry."
Oh come on, Cernan enjoys a good magical fairy tale as much as the next guy, but THIS?!? Time travel, the crusade fails? The world is OVERRUN with demons?!? I might have bought some of this, but all of it together? It's just too much to be true. He's either gotten a concussion, or he's pulling our leg. "Hiro not understand 'pulling our leg', but rest all true! Hiro swear on Samurai Lord and Master's name, Hattori Hanzo!" he states with finality, as if the mere mention of his Master's name clears the matter, as he stands up. We must think what to do next, if Hero is right then the world could be in trouble." Willow sighs; "No matter how far-fetched the concept of the crusade failing. "World definitely in trouble! War ravages world next 267 years!" Hiro exclaims. "Words cannot describe the horrors endured," he ends solemnly. OOC Apocalyptic description of events: Peter Venkman: Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker...
Walter Peck: My name is "Peck." Venkman: Or you can accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"? Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff! Venkman: Exactly. Stanz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave! Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria! Mayor: Enough! I get the point! And what if you're wrong? Venkman: If we're wrong, then nothing happens! We go to jail; peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it. But if we're right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters. Walter Peck: I don't believe you're seriously considering listening to these men! Mayor: Get him outta here.
Why it's the year <????> of course. Same as it was last moon. "<????>?" Hiro repeats outloud with a serious look on his face while obviously counting numbers in his head and using his hands to aid his calculations. His face suddenly brightens and a large smile graces his face as he comes to a conclusion. "Yatta!" he exclaims! "The Council did it! I arrived in time to save world!" Yes, this is Kenabres. Where have you come from? Are you here to join a crusader group? "Not sure how much I able tell you. Council told of bad things happen to Space-Time Continuum if too much changed." Hiro pauses for several seconds trying to decide just what he can tell these people. Hiro gathers his thoughts together and begins. "Fifth Crusade fails. Demonic hordes released into world. Eventually conquer Western World. People flee across Crown of World to Dragon Empires of Tian Xia. Demons follow. My people fight losing battle. Council of Mages send Hiro back in time to stop from happening. Save the world. That is my mission." Hiro slumps down on the ground with the enormity of the taks before him hits home. After a several seconds of silence an idea comes to him and his demeanor brightens. "Legend tells of group of heroes who almost stop demons. They go lost in Worldwound. You must help Hiro find them! With my help may be able to turn tide of war and stop demons!"
Hiro allows himself to be led over to shade by Cernan and Willow, still trying to wrap his very foggy head around his situation. The Heaven's Touched offers him something to drink and he welcomes it greedily, for his stomach is still doing backflips, but fails to heed Cernan's warning about sipping it and gulps it down. Hiro's eye widen and nearly pop out of his skull and the magical brew hits his throat. "By the Emperor I've never tasted such a drink! Liquid fire!" he exclaims in Tian, choking on the words. Gasping and wheezing for breath he manages a muffled "S'good" in common, trying to save face. Giving the drink a few seconds to work he suddenly feels warm all over and actually much better. Carefully, he begins to sip the remainder of the cup. it's armasse in kenabres. Just before noon. The enormity of the gnomes comment finally hits him as he sips on this Heavenly Brew. "Yatta! Kenabres! I'm here! I made it! The Council did it!" he exclaims in Tian, spilling some of the magical brew. He almost reaches out to give the little gnome a hug but thinks better of it, such displays are out of place for a samurai. Plus she has all those little pokey things sticking out of her backpack and does not wish to risk injury. This close to the' she looks about and to the Tian man, hoping it won't disturb him; "Worldwound, there are many strange sites and beings. Upon hearing Willow's comment a cold paralyzing fear grips Hiro, the Worldwound, a thing of nightmare and legend told to Tian children to frighten them into obedience. The fear quickly subsides, and Hiro hopes that no one saw it, and is quickly replaced by elation! "Perhaps I am not too late!" He thinks to himself. So, your no more a local than I am. Where are you from? How far have you journeyed to get here? "I come from very far. Long journey." "Sorry," he begins in common, "I in Kenabres, yes?". Hiro takes in the nods of affirmative from the 4 companions and continues. "Please tell me, when am I? Umm...how you say? What is year?"
Hiro looks quizzically at the Cernan. "So sorry but I am not thirsty. I am on very important mission." Hiro stands up as tall as his 5'4" frame allows as he states that last sentence. "Very important, please, you tell me when I am?" You saved us! Thank you! But we must be going now... Hiro looks down at the gnome, which really isn't that far down as short as Hiro is, and really takes notice of her for the first time. She has the most fascinating gear poking out of her backpack. "I saved you already?" he asks. "But that cannot be. I only arrived just now. Am I late?" Hiro starts to panic a little. The frost from coming through the portal has begun melting and is running down his face making him shiver again. Hiro takes in the Heaven's Touched other 2 companions. Both of them are very attractive, for Western women, and have the most fantastically colored hair, the same as the gnome's. "PLEASE!!! I must know! When am I?!? What time?!?" he directs at them all and starts to draw attention from the rest of the passerby's. "My life built to this mission! If I fail all is lost!" He states as he walks in a circle in front of them.
Hiro stumbles around in the alley trying to get his bearing. His head is swimming and his stomach is not too far behind. He finds his vision coming and going and feels cold all over. Shivering he notices the ice powder on his hands, and after checking the rest of his body he finds it covering him almost entirely. He steadies himself against a wall and proceeds to dump the entire contents of his stomach on the ground. That made him feel much better. "Could it have worked?" he thinks to himself. "Could the Council have succeeded?" Hiro thinks back to the events that led to him being here and it all seems so fuzzy. His vision improving, Hiro runs out into the street to see where, and when he might be. The music, the sounds, the sights, it all seems so foreign. He starts to get dizzy again and closes his eyes and plugs his ears until the queasiness subsides. When he opens his eyes he is greeted to the most wonderful sight he has ever seen. "This can't be" he mutters to himself in Tian. "They are extinct!?" Walking down the road Hiro spotted one of the Heaven's Touched, Aasimar his tutor called them, with 2 ladies and a small child, no wait, a gnome in tow. "Yatta!" He exclaims and runs right up to the man. Wide-eyed and giddy he reaches out with a finger and touches the stranger on the chest giving him a slight push, to make sure he is real. "Yatta!" he exclaims again and jumps up and down and begins to speak uncontrollably in Tian to the man, spilling the words out without taking a breath until he starts to get dizzy again. When he next draws in a breath he notices that all 4 of them are looking at him with unabashed confusion. "So sorry, please allow me to apologize for my behavior. I am Hiro Nakamura and I am pleased to meet you" he states in Tian. Again, he is met with confusion (). Suddenly it hits him, he is not on his continent, they cannot speak Tian. "Common perhaps?" he mutters to himself in Tian. Stiffening, he turns back toward them and in very broken common states "Hello. My name Hiro Nakamura. Sorry. Thought you dead. I am here to save the world. Shake!" as he thrusts out his hand with the biggest warmest smile he can muster in what he believes is the proper form of greeting. Hello: You have no idea how hard it was NOT to type Herro instead of Hello
My first PBP as well so don't feel lonely. We can learn together Kajehase!
Second movie? Not to date myself but I was thinking the original TV show...
Hello Angels! Good morning Bosley. I've got an assignment for you. <queue Angels theme music> how do you feel about demonic invasions?
OK link to character sheet is now on my profile page. Had to get a computer and not my phone to figure it out. Yeah, I may not even really know who they are only bits and pieces that were passed down through time which of course get completely distorted. And, of course, I have to be careful about disrupting the space-time continuum too much and have to be careful about what I may say while "geeking" out. (Yes, I, Worrgrendel, realize that my (Hiro) mere presence here takes the space-time continuum and throws it out the window, but Hiro is to naive to understand that telling someone about the past (their future) is of little consequence to the fact that because he is now in the past that future is, to be technical, borked.) ZOMG Cernan! It's really you! I mean REALLY you! I thought you'd be taller... The way you fought at the battle of... err... I mean I can't believe that you took on umm... err... the BBEG all by yourself! And you didn't even spill a drop from your Everful Mug even when he ran you through... the umm... err... obstacle course! Yeah that's it the obstacle course! So brave!
Yeah I'm not really looking for a real knowledge gain from it. I'm more looking at it from a role playing opportunities to create awkward moments for the other PC's. think of him as that annoying Hollywood movie star groupie stalker who just won a "spend a day with your favorite movie star contest" and one or more PC's are the "lucky" stars.
I'm ready. The only question I really have is how long I have been in the past? I was thinking along the lines of literly just having arrived in the past. Also, would it be possible that I know of the rest of the party? Like from legend? These were the great heroes of the crusade even though they ultimately failed kinda thing and I'm here to alter the outcome in our favor.
My parents could be descendants of Willows parents. I'm willing to run with it if Willow is. Could make for some interesting RP'ing if we happen to run into great, great, great, great, great grandma and grandpa at some point!
I meant a pic of my own. Not one from the Paizo pre-gens.
OK I think this is my alias talking... Is there a way to upload a different picture for my avatar? |
