{Really only four players left? At this rate, I'm tempted to just shut this crap down...it was going so well at the beginning too...}
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Kysta, Girud, Mordrock, Galdren, Caelith and Garor - Remaining the hollowed out Bulette, you decide that the best course of action here is to find the spirit of Karn. You seek the shard, his advice and who knows...maybe something a bit more promising will arise during this short trip to the bottom of Lord Geryon's fortress.
Pulling levers and switches, the contraption moves out of this room, into the next and atop the platform. It is clear, with your limited knowledge of its design and function, that the Bulette will not stick to walls...there is no way to avoid the 'Guardian' at the base of the shaft.
The platform hums as it drops, passing level after level until you finally hear the distinct sound of it reaching the bottom floor where you first entered this palace of ice.
Before any of you can react, you feel the body of the Bulette shake a bit as something nudges it from the outside. Trapped in the interior of this thing with no way to look out, save for the glass orbs for eyes, you have no idea what is out there.
The way Nupperibo quiets down and hunkers against a wall certainly raises your heartbeat a bit though. The Imp motions for everyone to be silent as he presses his leathery wings against the hull and sits down.
You catch only fleeting glimpses of the...'thing' outside the contraption as it moves over the hull, sniffing here and nudging there. It rocks the large Bulette easily, like it were made of cloth.
Then, seconds later, it's gone...
You're left on the platform with no idea of truly what 'The Guardian' was, other than huge and ill-tempered. There, not forty feet from you, is the door leading to where Karn's tomb was pulled into this hell. The Bulette is too wide to fit through the small door so you will have to continue the rest of the way on foot...
COUNTDOWN - 09:30 Hours to Apocalypse Clock Chime...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuri and Romar - {lol...you guys just don't want me monologuing do you? Well too bad...Daniel needs to monologue to explain his villanous actions.}
Daniel's face twists as he holds the staff before him threatening both of you as you advance.
"My selfishness? Think before you speak vampire! The high clerics of this city were content to let the world burn around them. They were to sit idle and do NOTHING while the war raged on...I at least chose a side!"
"When 'The Master' came to me in a dream and promised me riches and power in exchange for the knowlege the prisoner held...how could I refuse?"
"It was too easy to get the knowledge out of her, especially when I found out she had a love interest..."
"Love...the ultimate expression of naievity..."
Daneil remains defensive, eyes darting back and forth between you two.
"If you wish to fight and die, then I'm only too happy to oblige..but THINK! Her lover is out there. It has cut off communications to anyone, including the gods and 'The Master'. It can control the flow of time and you are helpless against it..."
"You think it will just let you walk out of here alive once it knows its love is gone?"
"We can scratch each other's eyes out here and now or think of a way out of this..."
{I have both of your actions if you want to keep them as such, or if you want to parley, I'll still give you the benefit of the action. Since he was prepared for you, you don't get to 'jump' him, so here's initiative and battlemap;
[Initiative: Yuri, Romar, Daniel] (Why is it you fools always go first?)
Map;
¥ = Erinyes Body
Y = Yuri
R = Romar
D = Daniel

I'm really starting to like this campaign. If you want to end this, it's your call KMan. Hang on, if you read the previous action, ignore it. I have a better idea....)
