Last Plot -- Plot Line Home -- Next Plot
Kanatash: (sitting on the side of the ring eating popcorn) Damn, I don't know who to cheer for here. I really don't want anything bad to happen so Serene and I certainly don't want Tormos to win but on the other tentacle if Tormos DOESN'T win then my chances of inflicting my horrifying revenge for his mild slight go down exponentially.
Serene stands with the guarded heart drawn pointing at Tormos. He stands with his eyes downcast slightly, almost in shame of what he as been forced into as he draws his own weapon.
Serene: Then I'm sorry that it's come to this.
Serene turns her head without lowering the sword to look at Satnak, helplessly bound by the Riven. A tears forms in her eyes as Serene speaks; quickly she wipes it away.
Serene: Satnak, I...I'm sorry you have to see this.
Serene turns her head back to Tormos and steeles her features. Her form begins to tremble slightly and she raises her empty hand. All five fingers become elongated and slowly morph into wicked mithral blades. Her wings burst forth from her back, appearing as so many bladed feathers, similar to her father's (see Terrek's Wiki). Along her forearms, short mithral spikes push out and mithral plating pops through her skin. Her tail enlongates and takes on a silver appearance, ending in dual blades and accented with spikes running up the tail and along the length of her spine. As she transforms, the clothes shred from her body, leaving her clothed in only the remnants of a skirt, mithral plating having dominated her chest and torso area. (*note* In my head I'm thinking it'd look kinda chitnous, but smooth and silvery, like how 'Nids look, but metalic). Finally her face takes on an armored appearance as well with mithral pointing through on her cheekbones, forehead, chin and prominent places of her face. She reaches back to her long dark hair and pulls it into a high ponytail. She lowers her now armored, bladed hand and looks at Tormos with a piercing galre. White light envelopes her body and shines off the metal that has burst through, as though from nowhere.
Serene: Do you still wish to fight?
Terrek strides over to Lord Sirinon and leans his face in close, staring at the other man eye to eye with bitter hatred.
Terrek: Hear me Sirinon and hear me well: I will make you pay for forcing my daughter into this; all the more so if she loses. It may not come immediately, but do not be surprised by my retribution when it comes. It will be most painful.
Terrek glares at him for a moment more then turns and walks a short distance away, taking a place where he will have a clear view of the battle to come. He nods his head for a moment and places two fingers to his brow.
Terrek: (Telepathically to Serene) Daughter... Remember all that I have taught you. You can best him. ... And always know that you are my daughter and no matter what happens, I love you.
Ketler: You know, all the pretty girls on this ship are in monogamous and committed relationships.
Rose: NOooooooooooooooooooooooo (http://darthno.ytmnd.com/)
NJ26: Hello, I'm standing right here, I just hate you.
Mendova: Excuse me, little man.
Marish: I've never been more insulted, monogamus Hmph.
Chalky: and Saberiel is single, but you might wanna wait a while. Then there is the chick with the arms. Lucky used to be a guy, and Jingo the Shade is availiable if a little hard to find.
Ketler: Then why...
NJ26: We all just hate you.
Devon: Whats 'monogamous' mean?
Pholly: Oh, great. A new captain in charge. Just when Jarlot gets used to shelling out for the repairs.
Mickey: Ah, I wouldnt worry too much about it. I mean, at some point you two will start to get along.
Hoybee: Well, with luck, the captain will get some kind of healthcare going. Then maybe I can get some glasses, or something.
Devon: M...a....n.... Wait, thats not right. M....o.....
Mickey: Well, he cant fire me. Im probably the closest thing to a ships surgeon that we have. If the popularity of my potions are any indication.
Hoybee: Sonny, yer potions are probably the only thing keeping this crew sane.
Pholly: Wait, so if Terra and Lisa had twins, or something, who are the Godsparents?
Hoybee: Well, we know that Michael will be out of the running....
Devon: Here it is....
Pholly: Well, I hope the little girls will be hale and healthy. Children are a blessing, after all.
Mickey: I heard they were looking into private school for the youngsters.
Hoybee: Good move. Having them on board would leave them open to all the geeks, wierdos, drunks, womanizers, lilly-heads, and Norbaz' chilli. Probably not what you would call a 'healthy environment'.
Pholly: Yeah, they might actually end up running with sicsors, or something.
Devon: OH, SWEET MERCIFUL GODS!! I have NO CHANCE on this tub!
Mickey: Youre just now figuring that out?
The Life Story of Captain Rose Galan
NEXT ON E!
Rona Rochelle, Attractive but Vacuous Host: Hey folks, now we're going to be talking about the latest new sensation in piracy! The new Captain of the Forgotten Freedom.
Marish: He's mean, he said I'm monogamous!
Rona Rochelle: In any case, let's see what his early life composed of.
Interview Segment
Rose: I started out on the adventuring gig not in fantasy RPGs like most of the individuals on the crew. I actually was interested in just straight up hack and slash for profit. I admit, I had a few problems with the ladies early on.
Video Interview from Hyrule
Zelda: That arrogant SOB. I swear, he was always trying to get into my pants. We had to fire his ass and replace him with a lookalike.
Video Segment from Beverly Hills mansion
Rose: Yeah, my relationship with a certain princess didn't necessarily turn out to be good. They even had the gall to change my name when they marketed my life story. As if I didn't know what silver arrows REALLY alluded to.
Intervie Segment
Rona Rochelle: Things went bad to worse as he was forced to take more and more demeaning jobs in order to make rent.
Video clip
(Solid Snake sneaks up behind Rose while he's wearing camoflage attire and grabs him in a chokehold before pulling out his knife)
Rose: GAH!
(censored for violence)
Interview segment
Rona Rochelle: Luck turned around for Rose Galan when he was offered help from an associate and the two became fast friends. We don't actually have a clip of this time but imagine any scene from Pirates of the Carribean with Jack Sparrow and Will Turner and you have their relationship down pat.
Black Room with only a single chair
Jarlot: Complete and utter waste of my efforts.
Video Segment from Beverly Hills mansion
Rose Galan: Drunken hasbeen. I carried him the entire movie.
Black Room with only a single chair
Jarlot: If not for me, he'd still be doing Dinner theatre Monkey Island
Video Segment from Beverly Hills mansion
Rose Galan: What you really need to know, is he really likes guys.
Black Room with only a single chair
Jarlot: YOU LYING DOG! I KILL YOU!
Rona Rochelle: Do you have any connections to Eberron Mister Galan?
(Rose is now sipping drinks from a full body cast)
Rose Galan: I'm actually an Aerenal Half-Elf.
Rona Rochelle: Really, you look more Valenar.
(Room darkens)
Rose Galan: That's because the Deathless have not yet chosen to speak with me at this point about what nightmarish ways I should inflict undying suffering upon your pathetic mortal lives. The rise of the Old Ones shall occur soon enough and then you will know the depth of your misjudgement.
Rona Rochelle: And yet you're a bard...
Rose Galan: I do funerals, barmitzphas, and bachelor parties.
After the whole physiology scpeil:
Caralot: Unfortunately, using terms like eighth isn't quite correct.
OOKaizer: So what's the catch?
Caralot: Lycanthropy, or more correctly, therianthropy, is purely supernatural in origin. It's inheritance and expression follow no descernable pattern. It's more like being a half-elf in that it can be inherited fully despite generations or parings.
Lisa: So what does that make me?
Caralot: Who knows? You might not even have any of the curse within you. It might just lie dormant, like it does in your father.
Terra: So now we get to that. Cardinal Krozen has never detected as a lycnthrope to me, are you saying its because it's just not being expressed?
Caralot: Below pure therianthrope the signature of the curse is covered up by the natural aura of the being if the curse lies dormant. The individual might know, based on ancestry and instinct that they are a were'.
Lisa (turns to Silver): Back at my wedding, when my father refused to take me down the aisle, you told me that his secret was that he dresses up in animal suits during the full moon.
Silver: He does that because he feels the urge to become an animal.
Terra: *snort* Any animal is better than Krozen.
Caralot: I can't tell you how your ancestry came about, I only know what happened on my Eberron.
Lisa: So Sarah and Elina may turn out to be full half-were's?
Caralot nodds. "I have no doubt in saying that if they were full were's that you'd have detected it by now."
Terra: Full?
Caralot: The curse isn't a gene. It's a supernatural parasite. What makes half-were's or less is the amount of power it weilds over the afflicted.
Terra: So it could be awakened to full strength?
Caralot: :blink: I never thought of that………Anyway, you'll just have to wait and see what they come out as. Don't worry about dealing with halfs, I have plenty of experience with them. :D
Liam watches the proceedings of the trial, and the duel between Serene and Tormos.
Liam: Hmm... This could be a good time to test my Weirsan Planar Synchronizer.
Liam: Terrek, could I have a word with you?
Terrek: What do you want, halfling? I'm busy.
Liam: I have something here that could possibly generate a manifest zone of any plane, as long as it has some material from the plane to analyze. I'd like you to test it with some of your plane. If it works, you should have all the power you have there, here, albeit at a limited range.
Terrek: Interesting. But I have to ask, why are you giving it to me?
Liam: It's completely untested. In theory, it works, but I have no idea how it will function in practice. I figure you're the one most likely to actually survive.
Terrek: I see. I'll consider it.
Terra: So, essentially, our kids could become Lycanthropes with the Outsider subtype?
Caralot: It's a possibly. It all depends on how many supernatural effects they inherited from each of you.
Lisa: This could cause some problems as far as social interaction...
Terra: Where do we live? The whole place if full of social misfits.
Lisa: True enough.
Caralot: Besides, they have a half-werewolf half-uncle to teach them the tricks. (gestures to Weylin)
Terra: It won't manifest for a while though. At least, it shouldn't.
Caralot: What makes you so sure?
Terra: Take a look. *detect magic*
Elina's Chakra points glow with a strange symbol Caralot has never seen before. It appears to be related to several others, both arcane and divine in nature, all related to sealing.
Caralot: What are those?
Terra: I was trying to figure out how to safely unlock any of the shadow power they inherited from me. I designed this symbol to seal it away until they could control it. As they mature, the seals will weaken. From their nature, it should effect any lycanthropy they inherited as well.
OOUrial: My inner rules lawyer will not allow this. Lycanthropy can only affect humaniods and giant no matter the source.
OOC: Then allow me to introduce:
Naggat, the Inevitable of Rules Lawyers (also Grammar Nazis)!
Naggat: I'm going ot go read 8-bit Theater.
OOC: Hey, wait, you're supposed to go out and bash all the people who can't accept things for the fun of it.
Naggat: You had to make me Chaotic just so I wouldn't break down over rules issues. Later!
OOC: :blink:…… :( Crp.
OOUrial: Now Kaizer has two inevitables on him. Sucks to be him. Wait so do I. Sucks to be me too.
Mickey: Okay, so the kids could turn out to be werewolves when they grow up?
Pholly: I guess so. Probably why they werent born with a silver spoon.
Hoybee: Yer a funny guy, Pholly. Howzabout you go make some alchemists fire, or something?
Devon: no.....chance......
Mickey: Lets hope that they dont get fangs when they start to breast feed.
Pholly: MICKEY! This is a public thread! Have a little decency, man.
Mickey: Says the runt who was chased by Lisa through the ship after that goop ate off his clothes.....
Hoybee: When was this? I dont recall seeing that.
Pholly: Im amazed you can see the end of your nose.
Mickey: So what do we do until this trial thing is over?
Pholly: Well, the new cap'n threatened me with Norbaz's chilli if I made more alchemists stuff during the trial.
Hoybee: Ouch. Thats cold.
Devon: No......chance....... Wait a sec. *studies the book*
Hoybee: Wait, what about yer bartending skills?
Pholly: I think those are going to waste. I mean, sure, Michael tried to drink the ship dry, but I think thats just a one-time thing.
Michael: *from off screen* Sez *hic* you!!
Mickey: Ive still got some potions. Got any of that Grog left, Pholly? My cure moderates are getting a little bland.
Devon: SALVATION! "Monogamy is an interesting affliction. One that has a defininite cause known as 'marriage'. However, monogamy, and similar cases, can be cured with high doses of chocolate, gold, and lingere." BOO-YEAH! I love this book.
Enter the Mind Scape of the Breaker Prime.
Satnak: You know full well your grasp has too many holes to keep me here.
Lord Sirinon: And we both know that as soon as you use them you reveal them and allow me to counter them the next time. You'll get maybe what enough time to move your eyes?
Satnak: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Tormos (holding twin light maces): Nothing I didn't expect, my only question is why has Satnak never seen this before? were you afraid of something? rejection perhaps?
Serene: What no its not li-ugh
During her moment of distraction Tormos lands a viscious kick to the midsection and slips out of melee range.
Tormos: All my strength includes my all my cunning.
Volrath: Terrek is Serene immune to toxins or flame? If so I might be able to help at least a little.
Chanse: "Volrath, I need a favor or two. I need to to gather as many of the innfested red shirts as you can, get them to stick to the riven. Oh and do you know if the binding on satnack is a group effort, or just the bigwig? If there helping I can deal with that. In the mean time Im going to lend Serene a little hand."
Volrath: "What you planning?"
Chanse: "I never plan, I just do things one after the other." grins and goes to sit near the fight. As he does so he concentraits, bracers of blue incarnum envelop his arms, and he begins to idly cast a par of dice at his feet. Serene's motions becomming swifter, more assured, her strikes and evasions now blessed with inordanate fortune.

Forgotten Freedom: THE MOVIE
In a world....of stuff.
(image of Marish playing around in a field of flowers)
There are people....who do bad things.
(Mickey Nine Fingers and the rest of the Tavern boys growl with knives in their mouth)
These people...are our heroes.
(Michael swings around his sword and charges randomly forward)
One Man...
(image of Rose Galan)
Rose: Who me?
Narrator: Yes you.
Will risk it all...
(Image of Rose checking his pockets for change)
To bring peace....
(identical image of Marish playing in a field of flowers)
Back to a dying land.
(Sight of the Forgotten Freedom setting fire to large numbers of fields)
COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU!
Date unconfirmed.
A Jerry Bruckheimer film.
(The Anthem of the Forgotten Freedom is being sung in the tavern http://www.thebardstale.com/soundtrack%5Cbeer_beer_beer.mp3)
Rose: Well, I thank you for helping me get a feel for the place.
Satnak: Well you're new here and it's good to get an idea of what you're all about.
Mickey: Plus, the whole mass execution thing was a good way of improving morale.
Narrator: Our hero was getting acquainted at this time with the locals.
Mickey: What the hell?
Rose: Oh don't mind him, he just hangs around and....narrates.
Satnak: Is that a magic mouth spell or something?
Rose: Just ignore him, he's not even supposed to be here.
Narrator: Little did they expect that there was danger coming upon them behind...
(oog is sneaking up in a cloak with a dagger)
Rose: *hits Doog over his shoulder with a beer bottle* Thanks for the warning.
Narrator: I said NOT expecting. You're ruining this.
Rose: Whatever.
Satnak: So who are you bringing up as your new first mate.
Rose: Well my first choice was Doog but since he's out.
Doog: NOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo
Rose: I've decided on Michael.
Satnak: Isn't he still deformed and sitting in a corner crying inbetween wearing a wax mask and playing the organ?
Rose: Well I often sit alone in my room and play my organ.
Satnak: Hardy har har har...
Rose: No, seriously.
Mickey: In any case, how'd you get him out.
Rose: Oh, I put a Book of Exalted Deeds in his room and let the power gamer in him brainwash him. He's just getting back from brainwash...errr...paladin chool.
(a white knight enters)
Saint Michael: Praise be to the Silver Flame! I am delivered unto the unholy dungeon of DARKNESS to deliver this land from the forces of murder and shadow. I am forbidden by the Pontiff from taking a life but I shall do unto my best to convert you to the....ONE TRUE RIGHTEOUS PATH!
Mickey: Oh hell.
Rose: I understand they used electricity and dunking his head under water alot.
Marish: HEY MICHAEL!
Saint Michael: AH! A WOMAN! MY CHASTITY!
(runs away)
Rose: Huh, I'm glad it was free.
Terrek: Volrath, Serene is immune to most poisons and highly resistant to fire. Just don’t overdo it. (Turns to Liam) As you your idea… Let’s hold off on it a bit. My reasons for doing so are twofold. First, I want to see if Serene can hold her own. If not, then I’ll have no choice but to intervene. The second reason is that if this thing works like you say it will, then I will be the most powerful being ever too be set foot on this ship… or close enough to it that the rest of the crew may decide that I just became a serious threat and this crew has a habit of taking down exceptionally powerful beings seemingly just because of their power. However, I doubt it will work exactly as intended. The properties of my plane are rather… unique; hence the effect at the very least is likely to not be as strong when replicated. We shall see how the battle progresses, but I thank you for such a gift. As a man of magi-science myself I am curious as to whether it works as well. If the opportunity does not present itself here, then well will test it later, hmm? For now though, let us watch, my daughter is about to attack…
Volrath exits and reenters with several hundred infested redshirts. He give most to Chanse but keeps about six for himself.
Volrath: Go my pretties.
Redshirt after redshirt disappear and reappear inside the dueling ring and explode in a massive torent of toxic gasses and heat. The explosion is completely contained by the forcefield and fills it all.
Chanse: How did you do that?
Volrath: Back in second edition the astral plane could be used to travel quickly to other places in the material plane. I had Nalfien activate that kind of astral travel and then send them in. Since it hasn't been around since second edition no one has defenses to it and I was able to get them through. Though now they have probably upgraded the forceshield to resist that sort of entry.
The smoke begins to clear...
MindScape
Satnak: SEREEEEEEEEENE!!! :weep:
Lord Sirinon: Admirable, she will keep going till Tormos has to hurt her badly. You know how to save her.
Satnak: :mad: I have faith in the woman I gave my heart. I just wish... I hope this works.
Serene feints forward then, ducks to the left slashing with her wing.
Tormos slams down both maces and levers himself up and over.
Disarray: Why did I let you talk me out of calling Levy and Forbes?
Ketty: This is a clan matter for now.
Tirmek: *stares intently at the marks on his aunts skin*
Ketty: Those sigils mean the Riven are within in her binding her. All five at once means Lord Sirinon is commanding them. Tormos is as of yet incapable of using more than 2 together.
Disarray: Why bother explaining to a baby?
Ketty: This is Tirmek d'Tharmis after his grandmother Tirmak d'Tharmis.
Disarray: (i.h.h. thats it motherhood makes you crazy, note to self never be the mommy)
Tormos: I can see every move in your repitoire. I know how you were trained. You can't beat me. :(
Serene lashes sideways and brings down her taloned hand across Tormos's shoulder.
Serene: Then I'll just improvise. (i.h.h. good thing he didn't spy overmuch on my time with Satnak, he'd have seen that move, too bad it didn't knock him down, then again I don't have Satnak's muscle)
Terrek: (Telepathically to Serene) Serene, ignore his words; they serve only to distract you. Remember what I taught you, play to your strengths and focus. Sing daughter, it’s what you were born to do.
The Four Commentators are watching the battle between Serene and Tormos.
Bunny: This remind you of anything?
OOcat: Every long and pointless animé battle ever made? :bored:
Bunny: Tormos and Serene are both just pathetic. :mad:
Silver: You're only saying that because no one's dead yet.
Bunny: I stick with what works for me. :whatsthis:
13: Anything we can do to help? I've had this idea for a tactacle strike with polka music.
Silver: Perhaps they'd be willing to accept an Alt-Satnak?
OOcat: I highly doubt it. This is your big "fight for the love interest" scene.
13: I would hope OOrampant would be less cliché than that.
Bunny: Whoa, wait, I just remembered that we're supposed to be nice to these guys.
OOcat: That'd work. :devil: (cool evil voice) Go, my minions!
Lord Sirinon: Well everything seems to be going well—
(Swept off his feat into a comfy armchair, boots replaced with fuzzy bunny slippers, cigar stuffed into his mouth and lit, a table with assorted drinks placed to one side.)
Bunny: Pedicure?
13: Scone?
Silver: Pillow?
All three: Whatever we can do to make your stay more comfortable! :D
Lord Sirinon:…………What's going on? Why're you being nice to me?
Volrath: So my infested redshirts did nothing?
Nalfien: Well they did look impressive.
Volrath: Still that was a wasted 6000 damage.
Nalfien: Starcraft to D&D conversion would make it far more. Remember in their damage system a machine gun adapted from a rail gun deals six.
Volrath: :weep:
Tormos: Please, concede. You have no chance.
Serene: Never.
Serene dodges as Tormos' maces come crashing down.
Tormos: You have skill, but you are no warri-
Cheese: *right behind him* I WANT SOME FISHY CRACKERS!!!!!
Tormos: Gah!
In his distraction, Serene lands a series of devistating blows, sending Tormos flying.
Cheese: Can I have some fishy crackers?!
Serene: Here you go.
Cheese: YAY!!!
Serene turns to press the attack, only to find herself in Cheese's grasp.
Cheese: WHERE WE GOING?!
Serene: Well, I'm going to win this battle, you're going to get out of harms way.
Cheese: *nasally inhale* ...ok.
Tormos rights himself and strikes at Serene while she is preoccupied. Instinctively, Serene raises her arms in defense, bringing Cheese directly into the path of the oncoming mace.
Cheese: CANDY!
Cheese catches the mace in his mouth and begins sucking on it intently. He promptly spits it back out, covered in drool.
Cheese: Candy is broken...
Tormos - WTF!! :twitch: OuCh!
Serene - :P (i.h.h. discordant desire)
The spirit of fate is set against you/ the sword of law strikes true
BOOOM (infested Terran)
Rise up the hand of ambition/ now is the time for decision
Fwooom (and another one bites the dust)
Mortal flame breaks the heavens/ shatter the false one to thousands
KRAKROOM (Tormos hits the ceiling)
Let none bar your new path/ all who dare face a lovers wrath
As Tormos descends the Gaurded Heart Thrums in time with Serene's lilting song. Serene brings the crystal sword around only to be blocked by Tormos's maces, only this time sparks fly as the blade bites deep and through the metal.
Tormos - :twitch: Do not touch the sword!
Terrek - Ok what just happened?
Ketty - The Gaurded heart is a crystal sword. It resonates, to bad Satnak couldn't carry a tune in a sack.
Silver: You mean…
Bunny:…………………heroic maneuvers depend…
13:……………………………………………………………………on how cool the music is?
All of Silvercat trembles.
OOcat: COOL!
The Greyfeline band strikes up (insert name of favorite song).
Volrath: Yeah they were useful *Vg Cat Leo smile*
Nalfien: But the time paradox. :(
Volrath: Its just a simple time hop.
Nalfien: My head hurts.
Terrek: (Presently looking over Liam's device as the Halfling watches on.) Bah. Time bends to the will of those that know how to use it. (Device: *click*) Hmm... Interesting... Maybe if I recalibrate this here...
Tormos - Sigh *telekinetic blast*
Serene - Oof.
Tormos - I...
Serene - Stuff it you coward. That was stupid, not a very good seer are you.
Tormos - Now see hear :mad:
Serene - Do you have any Idea what you just did?
Tormos - What :confused: :mad:
Serene - Some warrior, no wonder daddy had to stoop so low to get an heir.
Tormos - :headexplo
Tormos surges up and off the cieling aiming for Serene.
Tormos - (i.h.h. no dodging) *psionic hold person* NOw Shut UP! :censored:
Tormos Drives a knife hand strike with a sonic booster right through a suddenly open spot on her armor. The force of the blow rips through her and out the other side breaking the scales, the sheild falls.
Serene - *coughs up blood* a real warrior knows when to cheat.
Terrek strides forth, Liam’s device in his hand – apparently activated.
Terrek: There is no cheating in battle, only death.
Terrek’s chains lash out and grab Tormos binding him helpless in front of Terrek. Terrek raises a gauntleted hand which begins cracking with arcane energy. Terrek’s dark aura glows around him and the power about him becomes almost tangible.
Terrek: Submit, or die!
MindScape
Lord Sirinon - Such a pity she had to die
Satnak has been driven deep into hatred, nothing matters except getting out and slaughtering the monsters who did this. Her mental self slides through the holes in the Riven bind. As the Seal reforms around her....
Lord Sirinon - Well that did a lot of goo-hkg
Satnak - Your stuck in here with me now.
Serene gets up, the bleeding has stopped and she’s begun to heal at an inexplicable rate. She begins singing again, her voice doing things that could only be described as impossible. As she sings the Guarded heart starts vibrating faster and faster finally vibrating so fast the air around it crackles with energy and the blade glows red-hot. She walks up to Tormos, held in her father’s chains…
Liam looks upon what his inventions have wrought.
Liam: Note to self: STOP giving power enhancing items to those on the ship that are already near omnipotent. I'll have to remember that for next time. Good thing I've got another new toy for myself.
Liam pulls out a box with a display screen and a bunch of dials on it.
Liam: Lets hope this works. Okay, coarse adjustment, find the area, getting closer, closer, dial in one of the Rivens' Weirsan signature, signature locked! Now, determine inverse signature, and broadcast.
One of the Riven binding Satnak releases and leaves her body with an amusing and audible "Pop." It stands frozen off to the side.
Liam: That worked rather well.
MIndscape
Satnak - SEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR
Material Realm
Satnak - RRREEEEENE
With the LInk broken the four remaining riven cannot hold Satnak. As her body expels the remaining four she rushes to Serene.
Satnak - I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't think they'd take it this far. :weep: And then when you got hurt...
At this point Satnak Breaks down into inciherent babbling.
Serene (holding Satnak close with one hand while the other points at Lord Sirinon) - You I cannot forgive for what you did to her. (turns to Tormos) And you are a coward without nough spine to stand against what you know is wrong. (begins to leaves carrying Satnak) Oh, Father, get them out of here, I never want to see either of them around us again.
Exit.
Terrek - NOW you both di-erk.
Ketty - As much as they Deserve it one at least needs to be in shape to rule. Do what you will but remember at least one must make it back.
Serene is putting Satnak to bed.
Serene - There's my silly ..YAAAaAAAAAWWWWWN... Girl ...just need to..ZZZZ
Both emotionally exhausted the two have fallen asleep on each other.
Ketty - As much as they Deserve it one at least needs to be in shape to rule. Do what you will but remember at least one must make it back.

Liam: A spineless wimp and, apparently, their world's Admiral Jarlot Sr. That's going to be a tough choice of who to send back. Ah, well, I'll leave that to the others. I'm going to play with my newly caught Riven.
Liam picks up the Weirsan Negator, grabs the Riven by what passes for a hand, and heads back to his lab.
Terrek: Hmph. Still… in the interest of maintaining some form of trust I’ll let one of them live. The only question is: will it be the Coward or the Imbecile? I’m thinking Imbicile. What do you think Tormos? Anything to say in your defense that I might let you live instead of your father? Mind you, I’ll be inflicting excruciating amounts of torture on both of you anyways, just because I’m sadistic, and you’ll both be begging for death by the time it’s over. Keep in mind though, the one who dies gets to have their soul devoured, so living really is the best option here. So what do you say Tromos?
Tormos - ... I have nothing. I am weak of heart and will, I let my father control me and sully the honor of everyone here. I am a coward. :( I do not dserve any mercy.
Bunny: I say let both of them live.
Terrek: Then it's settled……WHAT?
Silver & 13: :OMG! Bunny doesn't want someone to die!
Bunny: Death would be too fast for them…
13: Wait, wait, I see where he's going……AND IT'S MY SCHTICK!
Bunny: Fine, fine.
13: Thank you. Anyway, I say we let them live but send them back with something that will forever remind them of just what we will do to them should they meddle with Satnak again.
Terrek: But I want revenge for what they did to Serene!
Bunny: Powerful people always whine.
Terrek: :weep: You're mean…………Wait, why am I talking like this?
OOcat: :devil:
Bunny: No one likes you.
13: As I was saying, we send them back with a little reminder…
The curtain opens to reveal:
13 (gameshow host voice): That's right! As out lovely parting gift you'll recieve: Cheese…
Cheese: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
13: …now with no higher brain function!
Tormos: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
13: But wait, that not alllllllll…
Curtain opens further to reveal minbolds.
13: …the MMMbop minbolds!
Tormos: *whimper*
13: An finally……………
Curtain falls off its rail.
Tormos: :shocked: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Kanatash: :banghead: :tantrum: :censored: :headexplo :rant: Damn you, you son of a *****! I had a fate horrible beyond words completely planned out for you that make you suffer for all eteritity!
OOCrystalforged: Why can't you do it now?
Kanatash: :weep: It's no fun if they think they deserve it.
Satnak - uh..huh? Serene?! areyouokfirstthemetalandthefightingthenthebloodandohgodsimgonnakillthemand...huff puff
Serene - Slow down Silly girl, I'm allright.
Satnak - *hug* :weep: don't scare me like that.
Serene - ITs allright, I'm fine and those two won't bother us again. Just calm down and lets just be together. For now I just want to be here with you.
Satnak - oh... ok, I'm not letting go for a good hour anyway *stillhugging*
Ketty - Consider your self lucky I'm nicer than my sister in law's pop Tormos. GO!
Tormos - but I deserv-
Ketty - Of course you do, thats how I know you can left on your own. You know your evil and can be vigilant against it now leave before Terrek regains his senses and sees through my tricks. By the way this is the last time Consider the Borisheel and the Tharmis as rogue clans.
Tormos -.... (gathers the riven and enters the mealstrom heading home)
Ketty - Leave him, we have matters here to attend to. For starters I'm not packing this mess up on my own. Disarray drop this by Satnak's door. When you finish we're heading back to the island.
Nearly eveyone has walked out of the battle room.
Kanatash: So……what was behind the rest of the curtain?
Tormos (running): GET AWAY FROM ME!
Alt-Satnaks: :love: But we love you, Tormos darling!
Lisa: Is that everything?
Terra: I think so. If not, the lazy bum that is our Entity can just Narrative Element it to us.
Lisa: Maybe you should wait until after we get back to make fun of him...
Volrath: Huh?:eek: :D IT'S GONE! IT'S FINALLY GONE!!!
Nalfein: What's gone?
Volrath: The muzak! My link is back u- Oooooohhhhh...so that's what my entity was all excited about...
The sky around the FF darkens as storm clouds gather. Lightning strikes all around the ship as the crew gathers. Many of the lesser downs appear worried, but most know who is responsible. Suddenly, a bolt strikes the deck, but leaves no damage. The flash of electricity takes shape, forming into a winged humanoid. The clouds begin to disperse as Terra stands before them.
Terra: Flashy entrance, check.:D
From behind them, the crew hears clapping. Standing behind them is Lisa flanked by two young girls.
Lisa: Good show!
Terra: I've always wanted to do that.
Elina: That was so cool!
Sarah: And they didn't even notice us.
The crew stands dumbfounded at this turn of events as Terra walks over to her wife and daughters. The first point they notice (once they stop staring a foot beneath their faces) is Terra's wings. The second is that Lisa almost looks younger than when she left. The third are the two children.
Terra: To preempt any questions, the wings are part of my evolution, Nalfein's Potion of Youth worked wonderfully, and our Entity left the Fast Forward on our timeline running too long.
(previously)
OOKaizer: Ok, that should be long enou- OOOOOOOOOO, shiny!!!!!!
(back to present)
Lisa: These are our daughters...
Elina Branford Female Half-Elf/Half-Fiend/Half-Celestial/Werewolf(possible) Spirit Shaman 3 (ECL is more like 10)
The older of the two sisters, Elina was exposed to high levels of magic during her formative months. As such, she has a powerful connection with the spirits that roam the world. Being only nine years old, she can be quite immature at times, but can also be surprisingly responsible. Her Spirit Guide is the fox. Her alignment is as of yet undetemined, being so young, but she tends towards Chaotic Neutral. The first thing most people notice about her is her eyes. Framed by bright pink hair, the piercing stare distinctive to Outsiders is especially unnerving coming from those amber eyes.
Sarah Hopeforge Female Half-Elf/Half-Fiend/Half-Celestial/Werewolf(possible) Scout 3 (ECL is more like 10)
The younger of the two sisters, Sarah manifests more signs of Lycanthropy than Elina, but she has yet to truly transform. Her ability to remain undetected is remarkable, even to her parents. Though she suffers from the same mischevious streak as her sister, she tends more towards Lawful Neutral. From beneath the powder blue hair, her bright blue eyes shine with the same unrelenting gaze of the Outsiders as her sister.
Sarah: Hi!
Elina: This ship is HUGE!
Satnak: Well, well. Looks like you two were busy. *;) at Terra and Lisa*
Elina & Sarah: :D AUNT Satnak! *TACKLE*
(OOC: Hope you don't mind, rampant. This idea was just too funny)
Satnak: Whoa, whoa! Aunt?
Lisa: We've been telling them all about everyone here, and they just started referring to you that way.
Satnak: :cloud9:
Volrath: Hey! Don't hog all the attention!
Elina & Sarah: UNCLE Volrath! *TACKLE*
Volrath: Ooof!:D
Nalfein: Ew. Children, yuck... (OOC: points if you get the reference)
OOC: I did not see that coming.
OOcat: Awwwwww. I like being smart.:weep:
OOC: How MANYTIMESDOIHAVETOTELLYOUNOTTOTALKTOMEIN THISMODE!
Silver: So, wait……now Lady is younger than those two despite being born before them.
Saberiel: And no one is prematurely aging her.
OOcat: I already did an older version. I'm not in any rush to repeat it.
Lady: *gurgle-screech* (leaps in insect mode upon a passing redshirt and eats him from the inside out)
Saberiel: Isn't she darling?:D
Caralot: Who's a little cute-wooty? Yes you are, yes you are!
13: :devil: (thinks of exposing the rest of the crew to this disguisting spectacle (i.e. baby-talk))
Bunny: :devil: (thinks of all the cool ways to use Lady to kill people)
Rose: BARDS CAN DO ANYTHING!
Devon: Yeah!
Rose: I must plot your death so that I can be the only bard onboard.
Serene: Actually, I'm a bard too.
Satnak Twitches and the skyline detonates.
Satnak - What was that about being the only bard on board?
Rose - Nothing:eek:
Rose: Well it's a simple matter of me being the Bardiest of you all.
Devon: That's not even a word.
Rose: I attended Sharn Bard college and served three years with Spinal Slash.
E-Hollywood Special Flashback
George: Yeah, Rose was a complete wanker the entire time he was with the Band. Completely ruined the Hobbiton gig by getting utterly plastered and throwing up on Bilbo Baggin's couch.
Rose: I also was immortalized by the Seren Barbarian Skalds for accidentally releasing an Argonessan Dragon criminal onto the nation of Q'barra they were seiging.
On Seren
Seren Vikings: http://www.thebardstale.com/soundtrack%5Cheres%20to%20the%20bard%20-%20viking%20mix.mp3
Rose: I demand a competition to prove whom is the bardiest!
Satnak: I'm omnipotent. I win.
Rose: And that's why you lose. Omnipotence is just plizz poor stortelling.
(is hit by lightning)
Rose: I mean, take the whole continent business. You destroy one and utterly kill all the storytelling opportunities...
(is hit by lightning again)
Rose: I still have some hit points left!
(is hit by half a dozen)
Rose: Okay, maybe there's room for several bards onboard...
Satnak is not omnipotent, she's just badder than anyone else on board. And she meant Serene, if Rose was the only bard what happened to Serene?
That's a good question, where is Serene anyway?
- looks at Rose*
Rose: Oh fine!
- goes to release Serene from the Tomb of Horrors*
Satnak makes sure Serene is safe. Then makes subtle references to the 6 most painful and disfiguring ways to castrate a man
