Main Party (- Sarah)As Sarah heads off, the remainder of the party quickly decide to scout out the rest of the area, before heading on to follow her, figuring she's probably smart enough to run away from any monsters she encounters if she can't handle them herself.
Whilst walking along the winding corridor, the party spots a spark of something glittering up ahead. On the ground, a silver sword has been knocked off the wall. Two dirty, hairy wererats, one with a long wooden pole, were poking at it, trying to push it along the corridor; when they see the party, they attack.
After defeating the wererats, the party continues along to explore what is left of the windy passageway, coming out the other side to discover they are once again at a familiar intersection. The silver sword is theirs for the taking. Musashidan starts to notice that, in the presence of that this sword and while standing near William or Mephis' backpack, he starts to feel sick and unpleasant.
Dirty-gray fur begins to flow and ripple out of him, splotches of pink skin disappearing as fur rolls over him like water; starting at the top of his head - his own human hair graying and changing - and cascading down his face, neck, shoulders, arms, torso, legs and only stopping once his feet are also furry. The fur naturally is incredibly itchy, and makes Musashidan feel somewhat hot inside his clothing; though after some moments the heat of transformation cools down, as the skin underneath thickens a little.
[Musashidan has temporarily lost 1 Humanity (now at 7) but has gained 1 Endurance (now at 16) due to this transformation.]

New Party (+ Sarah)
As Sarah travels along the corridor, to make her way back to see what lies in the unexplored region between 9 and 1, she comes across two strange men.
Ferron and Reginald, in their part, pass through the door. They spot a strange closed portal in the door (at 6), but after some time of not getting through it, they continue on their way. Eventually, they stumble across a girl with glasses and long dark brown hair, currently alone and with a map clutched in her hand.
[I assumed these are the directions you wanted to go, I wasn't sure on some of them so I had to guess a little. Plus I thought this would (a) help to break up the party a little, (b) bring the two parties together, and (c) means that Sarah avoids having to battle with any of the other wererats.]
Kit decides to follow where Sarah had gone.
ReplyDeleteReginald steps through the door way after Ferron and, as they continue through the uneventful hallway, spots a portal nearby. It is of a curious manufacture and seemingly nonfunctional. Or perhaps unidirectional? Reginald can neither decide nor see reason to care, for it does not lend usefulness to his venture at this time.
ReplyDelete[OOC: If Ferron decided to check out the portal or say anything about it, Reginald will have nodded in acknowledgment and proceeded onward].
Moving further down the hall, Reginald turns to his right and continues forward, not sensing any danger, and so put at ease. Suddenly he sees a girl turn the corner ahead of him, carrying what appears to be a map in her hands. A map! Now THAT is a useful thing indeed! he thinks to himself. Reginald considers the possibility that she is a threat, but errs on the side of introduction, given that she has a map and is, therefore, likely on their side.
"You! Ho there! With the paper in your hands!" Reginald feels no fear calling to the girl ahead of them. The intent with which she stared at the map leads him to believe that she is, like them, wandering through here in search of something. Maybe she was searching for the exit, but he couldn't know until he asked.
"Hello! Sorry for calling to you like that. I suppose you're the only one in this hall aside from ourselves, but I know not your name or any title you may hold. I would these alone ask of you in return for my own." Reginald bows courteously (regardless of her reaction), and adds, "My name is Reginald. What, pray tell, may I call you?"
Reginald is pleased to find another soul wandering the dungeon-scape, as there is strength in numbers.
"You mostly ok dude?" William asked Mushahida as he does his best not to make him feel sick.
ReplyDeleteJames walks carefully around the carcasses of the dead wererats and grabs the wooden pole the one had "you won't be needing this any more..."
ReplyDeleteHe turns around and sees what is happening to Mushahida, letting out a little gasp in surprise. "oh wow... I'm not going to get used to this..." he refers to the number of what appears to be random transformations. He looks back at the map he has made, checking the areas they have left to explore.
*looks surprised and scared at first when listen the voice ii don't recognice, i look at the stranger and put my map in my bag, taking a couple of steps back, trying to they can't see me well, because it looks like they didn't notice my ferret modifications*
ReplyDeleteOh...H..Hi....*say very shyly* I'm not a monster like the others, i promise, I'm Sarah..
*stay away from then, thinking they maybe are Vladimir's servants*
Musashidan scratches his body a bit, "Damn, think those damn werewolves scratched me, you guys have any dispell spells prepped?"
ReplyDeleteOOC: Sorry I haven't been posting much. This has been the worst week of university ever.
ReplyDeleteFerron stands off to the side leaning slightly against the dungeon wall, letting Reginald pass to commence with the introductions. He smiles slightly at Reginald's complete focus on the presence of a map, overlooking everything else in the situation. To himself he thinks *So much like Bayne was...*
Reginald continues introducing himself.
Moving past the saddening nostalgia, Ferron focuses on the present. While Sarah appears to pose no threat she is...furry...with claws. While not completely unheard of, it is...unusual. Most of the 'people' encountered in Ferron's past have been scaled rather than furry.
Hands held out slightly from his sides, to indicate a lack of weapons (held weapons anyway) Ferron addresses Sarah,
"We're not going to hurt you..."
He moves slowly, not wanting to startle her.
"I'm Ferron. Are you alone here?"
*sarah relax a bit, going a bit closer, but not very much* Not really, are more people in that way...*finger on the way i came*
ReplyDeleteWhat are you two doing here?
