[Sorry for the massive delay, but as I'm home again everything should be back on track. You'll also have to forgive me if today's update is short; little sleep and a rather long day have taken its toll.]
[Xandre: Year_of_the_Fox was wondering if you wanted that RP published, but I haven't seen you online for a while so I thought I'd ask. Also, you can start sending me your RRQI updates again. Or are you waiting for me?]
[Cubist: If I recall correctly (which is quite unlikely given how exhausted I am), that kind of effect should be covered under one of the other spells, but I don't have access to the files at the moment so I'll have to check later.]
[Kit has a Lycanthropic Wood Arrow[1]]
[Sarah uses one Water Bottle.]
[William uses one Water Bottle.]
Sarah hands William a water bottle to use to clean his equipment of the blood, before the former, along with Kit, goes to inspect the magic wall. It seems as though this door has been magicked to be "raised" or "lowered", or somehow "opened", though the mechanism for performing that is not apparent on the wall or in the surrounding area, from either a mundane or magical search; the magic emanating from the wall is so overwhelming that it precludes searching into the unknown rooms beyond by magic probing.
Gauronne racks his brain: if sufficient amounts of the lycanthropic blood were aerosolized and breathed in, they may confer lycanthropy, though the probability is rather small, nowhere near the amount that a bite or direct blood contact would. Nevertheless, the close quarters would give William a higher chance of infection; but everyone - including Gauronne - may have been infected, and who knows what kind of devious clandestine mental effects this strain of lycanthropy has?
[I will have to deal with the niceties of prose for Gauronne's blood-spells in the next update, as I simply can't think at the moment. However, the summary is this: Siphon works, and replenishes Gauronne's MP to maximum. He continues to make notes. Aside from the comments above, Gauronne knows of one possible way of making the lycanthropic blood more potent, and that is by freezing it into the form of a jewel, which can be added to a piece of jewelery to give the wearer voluntary lycanthropic powers (into a rat, of course)]
[Next update will be tomorrow, and there may be one more, as "tomorrow" for me is rather soon!]

Leaning forward Mephis casually dipts the tip of one of his swords into the slowly pooling blood of the rodent to check it's viscoucity... always being the curios one, he raises it up a bit just to watch a drop or two of the blood fall back into the puddle. "Hrm... poor sap." he mumblers to himself.
ReplyDelete*sarah cleans up William with a bit of water, taking of the blood, and go back, next to Kit*
ReplyDeleteKit seems intently focused on the magical barrier before ihm..
*drink abit of water from the bottle and offer a bit to Kit* like a bit?
"?" He glances at her, and gives a small smile at her kind gesture. "Thanks, Miss.. ..." He seems to not know her name.
Sarah *say puting the bottle on Kits hand* Sarah Bluethorne *say smiling*
"Kit Anon. I usse 'Anon' as short for 'Anonymous', since I am forbidden to speak my surname unless in times of crisis. It's a pleasure, madame' He says, bowing. Obviously, in spite of his age, he is a rather polite, cordial individual.
Nice to met you Kit, im glad to see good people around here, if i can be sincere, i didnt wanted to find any normal people inside this place
Can i make a question for you?
"Well, I dare you to find someone more abnormal than me." he says, flicking one of his ears a little. "Sure. What question?"
Well....*search on my clothes and i take a photo, what i show to you* im searching this boy *points a boy that looks so much like her* u dnt know if u saw someone like him around here....right?
He scratches his chin. ".. ... No. I cant say that I have. Relative?"
no, i think not, i only think he can stay around here...i can feel it...
*put the photo in the same position what i take it* dont wo rry about it *try to smile the better i can*
"Is he your brother?"
*nods with my head* yes, he is
"I had a feeling. You look very alike. Twins?"
Not really, he is older than me....but we ever stayed together since our parents died
* a small tear runs across my face* oww, sorry
*clean it up with the arm of my shirt*
"Well, it's a big dungeon. I'm sure you'll find him somewhere."
well.. i hope maybe he isn't here, and he really stay in home when i go back from this place
well...*take another bit of water* and you? what are you doing in a place like this?
He looks back to the magical grating, and traces his fingers in circles on it. "....I cant recall. I just have a.. gut feeling.. that I have something I must do."
u have amnesia?
"I'd guess so."
ReplyDeletemm. if u like..im a student of psicology and medicine at university, if you like, i can examine you to search why u suffer it
He drinks some more water, and nods. "Perhaps at a time when we aren't surrounded by danger at all sides and peril around every turn?"
yes, when we stop to rest, we can try to find why u cant remember, if u agree it *smiles softly*
He returns the smile. "You have a pretty smile, Madame."
Aww *blushes a bit* really thanks
"Oh, you need not thank me for speaking the truth."
i have a doubt..
"Hm?"
*point you and some of the other charactars* why are u using some old weapons? isnt easier to use a gun for example?
"I am not skilled in the use of a firearm, Madame." he says with a smile. "I've always loved archery though. They're not as easy to use as they look, guns are. They often jam, and then you have the problem of not being able to fire them underwater, and having to deal with recoil.."
well..i hope u dnt worry so much
i dnt have very much practice, but i think im not doing bad, right?
"Not bad." se says with a nod.
*smiles, feeling a bit better* thanks^^
"Look. Let me give you a pointer or two. I'm not proficient with them...but it might help with your aim.
you think, they can be adaptable to the gun?
"It's basic strategy, so yes."
nice!! *look happy*
"Now, draw our pistol. Aim it at the ground.
is safe right now? i dnt like to call more monsters..
"If you dont shoot, you wont attract monsters."
okie *follow the instructions*
"Now.. recoil can be a big pain. First, when you shoot, make sure to brace yourself against the kickback, or it might be a short bit before you can shoot again. Now, is that a six shooter or what?"
mmm
im not so secure
"Does the ammunition come in clips, or by bullet?"
ReplyDeletei dnt know really
*leave the gun in Kit hands*
He gives the gun back, then moves her hands to a certain position. "Now.." He aims for her, at the wall. "Now.. if you brace yourself.. when you fire, you should be just fine. You dont have to be built like a tank to properly brace yourself."
aaahh
because that, i must stay near from a wall
"Also, bracing yourself has further applications." He takes her gun, and moves her arm so they're crossed in front of her. 'Crossing your arms so they block your chest and your wrists block your throat can help protect you from fatal strikes."
woah! i didnt know that!
"It's not a foolproof strategy, but it's useful for at least giving your vital organs some protection. It wont do anything against projectiles like arrows or bullets, or precision magical strikes, unless you have a shield or a bracer."
ahammm, i understand
"It at least has some protection against melee weapons, but you'll take damage, so use it in emergencies."
yes sir! *say joking, at the time i put my hand on my head*
He laughs a little, and hands her gun back. "That's about everything I can teach you. Oh, keep a mind on windspeed and direction,"
i will, sir!!
hahaha
He sticks his tongue out at her a little. "Dont call me 'sir'. It makes me feel old."
it's only a joke, like military form to talk
"I know, I know." he says, and ruffles her hair a little.
*laugh happily*
"You have a cute smile, too."
*look at you and give you a hug* thanks for all, i needed to laugh a little...all this was making me sad
He blinks in surprise, but returns the hug. "Of course. But no need to thank me. I'm glad to do it. Have to keep one's spirits up, you know?"
*the hug end, and look at you smiling, with the curse of a tear on her face* all is going to be perfect, Oli is going to come back home, and i will give your memories back, i promise
"Just have to look on the bright side." he says, and adjusts the ring on his finger a little. "Even in the face of.. .. bad .. ness. Forgive
me m'lady, words fail me at present."
ReplyDeleteI will *say going near to him, staying close to Kit*
He returns to inspecting the grate, occasionally giving her a small smile.
*go near Kit, running my hand over the wall, to dont lost myself in there*
(And here's my entry)
ReplyDeleteKit adds the tainted bolt to his inventory, and loads a clean one to the crossbow. He proceeds to prod at the grate a bit, out of curiosity
occ: Automata. I think you misunderstood my question about "what can make lycanthrope blood more hazardous?". What I was thinking was, "How would a hazmat team handle lycanthrope blood, and what procedures would they need to follow in order to minimize the risk to themselves?" In other words, I was asking about what sort of procedures one should not use when one is cleaning up 'thrope blood. Okay?
