Just writing up a backstory for a character I was using in strange aeons, he's a man who's got quite a few problems with his body. Mainly the fact that he's missing one arm and leg, his other arm is possessed by a malevolent spirit one of his eyes is wholly independent. Essentially, he's a charismatic guy that can take himself apart.
I don't mind at all, Mala has been fun to play and will continue to be fun as an NPC. Anyways, let me read up on the books that Oscar sent me (APPLAUSE FOR OSCAR, SERIOUSLY DUDE, THANKS!) and then I'll set up a recruitment explaining the situation sometime tomorrow.
Give me two weeks and I can take over as GM. Don't have an opportunity to go buy the books until then.
If ALL goes south and he's just gone for good AND we can't find another GM I'd be willing to run you guys +1 other through the rest.
What's happening?
Mala shruggs "Nope. But if she's the leader she's gata know what's going on here, at least more so than everyone else."
"Many thanks milady." Mala groans, as many of his wounds close. "Should keep me from dying in a single blow should it come to that."
Mala relax a little as they head into the guards base, though after noticing a limp he taps Oscar on the shoulder and points to his wounds. "If anything goes wrong I'd like to be in shape to help take it out."
Mala hacks at the neck of one of the creatures in reply to dervak "Might as well."
Mala is elated to see dervak charge through the door and zealously enter the fight once more. Bashing the creatures incoming claw aside he yells. "HA! WE ARE UNDYING! FEAR US CREATURE, FOR YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR FINAL BREATH! MAY PHRASMA JUDGE YOU TO HELL!" Mala drives the point home by slicing, once again, for the creatures neck.
Mala bares his teeth as his second ally falls. A vein becomes visible on his head as his bloodcurdling stare falls on the creature. "I WONT DIE HERE! WE WONT DIE HERE! I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARDS!" Mala Viciously assaults the creature, aiming for what he thinks of the sensitive parts.
A Worried look crosses Mala's face as Dervak goes down. "S!@$! Dervak! Are you ok!" The worried looks turns into one of anger as no response is heard. "Just leave us be already!"
Feeling himself fading in and out of consciousness, Mala swings his sword cane with more grace than a man with a torn pectoral has any right too. With the flourish he brings the sword cane down brutally, swinging for the creatures neck. "Let's finish the fight before we start gloating." Mala mocks.
"Wouldn't want the victory to go too your head before you've a reason to celebrate!" The taunt is followed by a cackle that sounds a little to ecstatic. If Mala succeeds in decapitating the creature: "Looks like that won't be a problem for him though!
Mala feels his mind being pulled back from an alternate timeline, a second chance it seems. Not wanting to waste it, he stares at the guard adjacent to him and lashes out with his cane.
Mala stands behind Mara, drawing his sword cane, he seems ready to rush through the door should anything happen.
Your doing fine GM.
Mala shrugs back at Sara. "Maybe, sticking with us you'll at the very least SEE some monsters. We'll be there to protect you though, the same cannot be said for the barricade."
Mala sigh's at the situation, Looking for a respite he looks at Sara and asks her a question. "What do you want to do Sara? Both have potential dangers and you should have a say in the risks you take."
Mala snaps out of his transfiction on his hand as Dervak goes off on Mara. Twirling around Mala glares at Dervak in a way he's only done at enemies up until now. "Dervak! The lady's just trying to do all she can to keep the child safe, how the hell can you fault her for that?"
Mala Looks at his hand as Mara speaks of remembrance, seeming to just now notice that he cant stop the idle movement of his hand."Huh." He stares for a bit at the indipendint limb. "Yeah." Mala says to Oscar, heading down the hallway, still looking at his hand.
Mala shrugs at Mara. "Probably, You know about as much as we do now."
"You two go along, I'll keep an EYE on things back here." Mala laughs at his own joke for an embarrassingly long time.
Not this year, maybe next year.
Mala follows Mara back out into the hallway, grinning proudly when she mentions the body. "I just so happen to have downed this one!" Mala says, bashing the thing in the head with his cane. "With, uh... With some help of course." Mala coughs into his hand before straightening up once more. "Ah, but we still have some grizzly business with the corpse. Mam, if you would shield the child's eyes." He says to Mara as he points at the body, drawing his thumb across his neck.
"Little one, I promise you that when we get out of here I'll buy you twenty dolls. I swear it, in the meantime." Mala pulls his handkerchief from his pocket and turns around. Plucking Spie out, he wraps the handkerchief around the floating eye, tying the hanging cloth together with a few strands of hair. "Now, I happen to have a special talent, I can make things come to life! It's not as nice as the doll you gave up, but for now he'll watch over you and be your friend, just until we get you those twenty I mentioned." Mala turns back to the girl with Spie resting in his hand, looking like a little sprite wrapped up in the pure white cloth. Flicking Spie into the air He flies to circle the girl. "His name is Spie." Clasping his hands together, Mala looks around at all of the adults. "Now what should our next move be?"
Mala seems to loosen a bit at not being immediately jumped, putting his hat back on he speaks again. "You're looking at it Mam! No other forms to speak of, less my nogin is more messed with than I'd first though." Mala kneels down to the little girls level, smiling as warm a smile as an albino with a fashion complex can. "May I ask whom this little lady is, not really a place for kids all things considered." He sheathes his sword cane as he kneels.
Mala places a hand on Dervak's shoulder, nodding to the half-orc and stepping into the doorway. "Well, we did say to be on the ground..." Mala say's as he enters the room frowning with his sword cane drawn. his eye's pass over the little girl. "But I don't think myself as having the heart to slay one with the look of a child." Just then seeming to notice Mara. "Or capable of slaying two of them... Quite a conundrum... Please, if you really aren't one of them, just sit. Otherwise attack me now, end us quickly if you will." Mala takes his hat off, holding it to his chest. "I'd really like to escape with at least my dignity intact."
"Thank you Dervak, and yes your idea for how to deal with the door sounds fine. First however." Mala sidles up to Oscar as he panics. Grabbing him by his collar and pulling him close to his face. "I will get out of her on a wave of innocent blood Oscar! I will do worse than this if I need to have this talk again!" Mala punctuates his sentence by drawing back and slapping Oscar across the face, though obviously not as hard as he could have. "Now, you know how to use that wand, help me and Dervak out here, we got got in that fight and I'm feeling rather pale." Afterwards he pushes Oscor to the ground, straightens his cuff links and says to Dervak. "Alrighty then, the door yes?" He makes his way to the door, knocking on it lightly before saying. "We're coming in! If you want to keep yourselves intact I'd suggest getting on the floor. If you aren't one of them you have nothing to fear from us."
Seeing that any one of the is easily outmatched by a shapeshifter, mala stabs once more at the creatures throat before stepping back.
"OSCAR! We will have WORDS after this sir!" Mala steps up to the creature, Staring into it's eyes as he draws his sword cane. In one motion thrusting up towards the creatures neck.
Next time we run across someone we should definitely test out Dervaks idea. And don't worry Oscar, Mala will have words with you after the fight.
"NO!" Mala jumps in front of his comrades. "Those guards where suspicious of US! And we where telling the truth! let her prove it, it only takes a damned second! Look!" Mala bites down on his thumb, taking the tip off. Drops of crimson blood drips from the wound. The woman's question is meet with an immediate response. "With all due respect, I'm suggesting that in times of crisis intense precautions must be taken. I'm not asking much! Mala flings his bleeding thumb in front of him to prove the point, he seems to be in the early stages of a panic.
Mala dips his head outside the door. "Bite your finger, they bleed differently than us. A little pain is a small price to pay if you're really not monstrous."
"Let's" Mala gestures Julius towards the door. "You seem to like taking point, have at it!"
"SPIE!" Mala barks, spooking his eye out of its socket. "Check under the boiler there for us will you?" Waiting for Spie to complete his task Mala watches Dervak eat. "Well I suppose that's one thing you could call it. Friend, I swear, that if we get out of here I will personally treat you to the finest food my wallet can muster."
Mala leaps and bounds into the boiler room, positioning himself behind the creature as it fights Dervak. Attempting to stab the weird little thing.
Mala, Frustrated with the previous miss, slams his sword cane down on the rat in the doorway.
Mala plant's his gaze directly on the rat in front of him, lashing out at the creature with clear intent to kill.
"Let's" Mala say's to Julius, motioning for the door to be opened, leveling his blade at the door.
Just a busy weekend, had too bring down a tree in the backyard. Will post more tomorrow.
I see our name's are but one letter apart, This is surely a sign that we will get along swimmingly! Welcome to the group!
"Hardly matters now." Mala quips as he turns to pull Dervak into the shaft. "Less of course he turns into some sort of monstrosity that will rise out of this vent and end us all... Actually, not that unlikely. All things considered." Mala just chuckles at the possibility.
"Back in a moment, Heads to take... Oh but I crushed it. Oh well, it'll have to do! Dervak, darling, little help?" Mala slides his sword cane back into its wooden casing. leaning on it until he is forced to crawl in the shaft.
"It's truely a horrid sight out here. We must find a way to right this, let us pass. I won't ask you too follow but please. let us save you!" Mala yells all this while peeking his head round the corner, exposing his dapper looking top hat.
"Easy enough." Mala jests to himself as he helps oscar out of the chute. "I honestly have not. He seem's too have just up and vanished from my eye." Jumping at the loud crack that can be heard from back through the chute, Mala sticks his head back in and half yells hald whispers. "Need any help back there?"
I would say keep going. 4 man group is what most AP's are geared towards anyways.
"Good work Dervak! Now, boost me up first. If there's anything on the other side I'll give it a taste of my steel before it can hurt the others." Mala sets himself up near the opening of the vent and waits on dervak. He jestures at Oscar before he goes and says. "Try and get that thing to work a few more times. I don't want Dervak here to get knocked over by a light breeze."
"You are indeed right that it feels wrong to just walk over them. But wouldn't moving them just open us up to even more disease?" Mala shrugs "I'll follow any course of action the majority of us decide to take." Mala says this while stepping over to the table too rummage around for anything interesting.
