The Nexus

[Cry Havoc] Wenomir yanks his poleaxe out of the angelphant's head and hops off the body. That went a lot better, but the real threat is in the air and she hasn't been seriously harmed so far. He takes a look around himself. "Kothar. Good to have you here. Do you know who this is?" he mot...

[Armory] "No, it's a saying from our homeland. Which is a colony in a mountain range by the sea." "So the sea isn't literally under everything, but close enough." The two of them watch the demonstration of strength with equal parts surprise and awe. "Good thing it's an old ...

[Ruined Observatory] This isn't good, Hiep thinks as she scrambles to avoid the cloud. Just being near this thing is making her nauseous. How is she going to stay close long enough to clobber it... if that's even possible? Maybe using her surroundings against it will work. It's not a big deal if it...

[Rec Room] "Yes, indeed. I came here in search of you, master Reinholdt." Calm Reed inclines her head slightly towards him. "Though it is no problem if Ambrosia is here as well. It concerns one of our own members, Blanche Turath. I am given to understand you are familiar with her.&qu...

[The Mound]

A deer-unicorn climbing a ladder isn't a sight Iknika ever expected to witness. Wonders truly never cease.

"If it went off, that would explain why everyone is dead. Really wish people like him would put all this cleverness to something less... horrid."

[Cry Havoc] Wenomir isn't pleased that the elf is getting away, but he has to admit that none of his attacks were doing much to hurt her. He might have more luck if he drew some fire into his dagger again. As he falls down, he sees one of the other mutants charge... Kothar? The warrior shifts his p...

[Armory] Olvisin will hold the door open for Quisp. She trusts him to find his way to her room and knows he's not likely to get into too much trouble in the base. The armor is surprisingly flexible, but it doesn't provide as much protection as other suits of plate might. Eddie doesn't need it, but ...

[A Meeting of Minds] Dorota nods, straightening her glasses. "That's... true. My research would be deemed heretical in my homeland. And I can't say I arrived at a satisfactory definition of a god myself. Treating as a matter of politics is tempting. After all, mortals have been able to deify t...

[Face Time]

Wenomir has nothing to add. Once Ilpholin has disconnected, he sighs deeply.

"I do hope we don't regret this later."

[Incognito Golem] As the two walk down the street, someone steps from behind a parked truck. Which is odd because both Mina and Eddie would have seen the truck from that angle before and this person was very obviously not there. Or was she? Maybe she was... The person in question is a short green-h...

[Picking Up The Pieces]

Fayyaad nods. He was thinking much the same thing.

"You're right. Let's stick together and go to the hotel first. It'd be logical for drifters who just arrived. And it clearly saw some fighting so we can learn something."

[Face Time] "No, we're cooperating closely with HALO again." The turbulence of the two groups' merge and split is a thing of the past, fortunately. Even Wenomir, prone as he is to holding grudges, has moved on. "We'll let them know you'll be in touch." Since it will take some ex...

[Cry Havoc] This elf just doesn't know when to quit. Fortunately, neither does Wenomir, even if he doesn't have the physical resilience to back it up. Unwilling to be stuck to an airborne enemy, he concentrates on the Answer. It briefly becomes incorporeal, passing through the elf and inflicting we...

[Rec Room] Calm Reed steps inside the room and hesitates briefly when she sees the two in the middle of a game. But she is already here, so might as well continue with her mission. She bows to the both of them, hands hidden inside her robe's sleeves. "Greetings. I hope I am not interrupting.&q...

[Armory] "Yeah, I can see why- Quisp, stop it. I told you, no biting people." "You shouldn't have let him bite your arms. Now he's used to people not feeling anything when he does it." Olvisin snorts. "Since when are you an animal expert?" "This armor we're puttin...

[Cry Havoc] Reliant as he is on mobility and evasion, Wenomir is quite vulnerable to being grappled. But as his weapon and shoulders are pinned, he reveals a trick up his sleeve. The Answer shimmers again, becoming a long poleaxe, which he tries to jam into the elf's mouth, so that she can't close ...

[Face Time]

"I agree. Ambrosia is the best source of information." Wenomir was expecting it. "Dorota... the alchemist from HALO? I don't know how much she knows about fey, but she is from my homeworld so it's probably worth asking her."

[Armory] "Have you considered... altering your appearance? If that's even possible." "This is way more advanced than anything our alchemists have managed to accomplish with golems. I've never heard of one being sentient, for one thing." "I think the ones down south have don...

[Cry Havoc] Wenomir becomes a blur as he weaves, dodges and parries the orbs. But even his agility has its limits, so one of them painfully connects with his left arm, forming a bruise under his armor. It's only a matter of time before one of them strikes his leg... so he has to act. He takes a dee...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] Balthuk stops himself, holding someone's shoe in both hands. He puts it back with due reverence. "Okay. Mom would get mad if we made a mess." As the twins get to searching, Kes might spot something. There's a very small shoe under one of the benches. Perhap...

[Armory] "Did it work, at least?" Olvisin asks as the two goblins start pulling the carapace off the robot. "That is, do you really think more flexibly than other constructs?" "Feels like the side-effects are something your creators really should have seen coming." Olv...

[Cry Havoc] "Don't worry. It should be over soon," Wenomir says, as he walks a slow half-circle and watches the orbs. Then he leaps trying to close the distance between himself and the elf... ...but it's a feint. Halfway through his advance, he turns it into a sideways roll, springing bac...

[Face Time] Wenomir breathes out. That went even worse than he suspected it might. And there's always a tinge of guilt that suggest to him Ilpholin's accusations aren't unwarranted. But there's nothing to be done about it now, is there? She's crossed too many lines and in some ways, so did Vigil. &...

[A Succubus Problem]

Sophie almost falls to her knees as the pain intensifies and only manages to keep herself from doing so by holding onto Trick for dear life. If she was still mortal, she might have blacked out by now. Even now, the pain lessening is a welcome relief.

[Cry Havoc] When the missiles fly towards him, Wenomir takes a deep breath and feels the world slow down around him. He calculates potential trajectories of each orb and raises his sword again. To an outside observer, he seems to become a blur of motion, even as to himself, time flows like cool hon...

[Armory] "Not to worry, you're among ill-mannered people here." The goblin woman gives a short laugh. "I'm Olvisin Zuulit-Obeleck." "And I'm her brother, Kuvesh." "And the sleeping beauty over there is Quisp, my pet." "A unique specimen and she keeps it ...

[The Mound]

"...I wasn't expecting that." Iknika is less well-versed in the ways of necromancers than her two companions. "But we need to safely disarm it. Or make sure it doesn't explode in some other way."

[Armory] After departing the meeting room, Eddie will reach a place that isn't quite an armory, but rather an extensive and multi-purpose workshop. Inside, the first people he'll meet are two goblins, a man and a woman, busy taking apart a box-shaped automaton. They look up when Eddie comes in. The...

[Cry Havoc] A quick assessment of the situation tells Wenomir that standing his ground wouldn't be a good idea. Sure, the masked elf seems down for the count, but one never knows when that might change. And even with his grip released, his leg is still numb and sore. He retreats instead, keeping th...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] "I've only been there once. When I got sick. The doctor said I was very brave and gave me a chewing gum!" Maltrika declares proudly as the two kids follow Kes to the infirmary. When they reach it, the building doesn't seem to be very busy at this time of da...
