Near Midnight, Day Three

[Leremy casts Probe at a cost of 1 MP]

Everything is as it appears, aside from the standard magic force-field and vaguely magical readings coming from the expected monsters, there's nothing peculiar about this place.

William and Reginald enter into the ring; meanwhile a half-transformed werepanther flexing his long, limber muscles, a giant smelly minotaur and a truly terrifying abomination that can only be described as a glowing quivering mass of what looks like a pile of spam with oozing pustulant tentacles and an insidious "voice" that babbles "Hello........................................" into the minds of everyone in the ring.

"Watch out for that Mak Candelario, its very touch can cause a transformation," the warrior woman, who still hasn't identified herself, proclaims. "Hopefully you'll last a bit longer than my previous 'allies'. If we manage to kill it... well, it will prove beneficial to the both of us."

The wererats scramble all over William and Reginald, tying red bands around their arms, and blue around the arms of the werepanther and minotaur. A whole bunch of them stare at the Mak, babbling and shrugging their shoulders until their "boss" whacks them over the head. One wererat is pushed out towards it, gripping the final blue armband in his paw. One tentacle darts out, grabbing the wererat, who squeals and slowly shrinks, eventually becoming a rat which squeaks and dashes about on the arena's floor.

Now that everyone has their "armbands", the boss rat squeaks into the black orb, and the black box blares out "Let the battle commence!"

600 XP earned for William, Reginald and Mysterious Woman.
Reginald goes up to Level 2! Reginald gains 4 Level Points!

[Speaking of which, during the last IM RP Mephis (1), William (5), Kit (3), Leremy (5), Musashidan (7) and James (3) all went up to level 2 and earned Level Points which, if I'm remembering correctly, have not been spent. For them and for Reginald, let me know how you wish to spend them, and if you want to use a Reroll Point to possibly gain more. (you gain 1-7 level points for going up a level).]

The unnamed woman quickly dashes over to the dead Mak Candelario, slicing into its spammy body and cutting out a strange seemingly magnetic metallic triangle.

The force-field flickers, and the woman promptly leaves the arena. You can now see how tired she is; the party, too, is feeling quite tired from its last day of adventuring and could use some sleep.

[Transformations to follow in the next update!]

  2. Reginald tries to relax from the battle as Sarah cleans him and his comrades. Shook up but feeling alright he rifles through his bag for something to mend his wounds, sitting down to rest.

    "Everyone here?" He huffs, still catching his breath, "That was some fight, wasn't it? I mean, I wasn't the star of the ring or anything, but I must say it was an exhilarating experience! One that has left me very tired, mind you."

    Reginald motions in the direction of the warrior woman, "I'm sorry we had to meet under such circumstances. It's not befitting either party to be thrust into such a situation without the common courtesy of an introduction. Those rats really had no respect for timely manners."

    He hacks a little, but calms himself. "My name is Reginald Falstaff. What might yours be, fair lady? What brought you to this arena?"
