Hats (Forum Game)

[lokthar]

"Urist goes down the tunnel to the right"

[LoneStarNorth]

Echo spends the rest of his dream just sippin' tea, then wakes up and stretches out all the kinks. He is now free to go about his business, at full health.



CBM climbs down the mushroom stem and talks to the two gnomes.

"Any chance I can get past guys?"
"Look, a spy! He's probably going to torture us to learn our war plans!"
"Get him!"

Gnomes aren't very friendly.



Lost heads back to the tower, but he's got a ways to go yet. The tower is currently raised and has obviously been that way for some time now. Oh well, it's just up the duct.

The imp is happy to no longer be all alone in the big, cold, empty world. Also he drank all the stray blood.



Dives commands his bunny minion to chew through the chest, but the chest is actually just painted on the wall! There is nothing for the bunny to chew.

However, the LOCK on the chest does appear to be real.

And locked.



Sticks decides to stop doing nothing, no matter HOW invincible it makes him! He grabs his love interest, Dances, poots a web up out of the stoach, and climbs to FREEDOM!!!



Or maybe not.



"Koboldslayer takes all the loot (again) and you continue further into the caves. You find another ladder going back up."



"Alright, is there any way I can convince you to let me past? Perhaps a favor you need doing, since you're stuck here and can't do it yourself?"
"I would never abandon my sacred duty for petty favours! NEVER!

...Although, if you can maybe get me a coffee, I guess I could help you get back to the land of the living? There's no rule against THAT. Technically. It's sort of IMPLIED, I guess, but... man, I'm falling asleep here."
"Cool! Also, what's a human angel doing in the goblin afterlife?"
"I'm not a 'human' angel, this is just what I look like! There are other angels that look like elves or dwarves or whatever but it doesn't mean anything."
"Oh."

Yeah, I kinda messed up the current state of the pillar/grate/armour room last time it showed up. I guess maybe ESP through the eyes of an imp minion is unreliable or something?

[knucklekraken]

Dives puts on the wizard hat and magic-missiles the lock. If that doesn't work, he magic-missiles the bunny and tries to buils a lockpick out of bunny teeth, bones and/or claws.

[brontan]

Trips on Rocks
"And theres coffee!!! Why didnt you guys tell us that!" Then Trips proceeds to follow Bleeds since he doesnt have any idea where to go.

[notimportant]

((Right, I was one turn ahead. I'll try this again, then.))

Echo
Echo gets up, stretches, scratches his posterior and wonders why his hut has been redecorated, and why some thoughtless goblin has forgotten a whip by his bed. He takes the whip and walks outside into the sunshine. Once outside the mousehole, he sees the clocktower.
"Hey, look! No hands! Oh right, I was looking for a hat. I remember."
He goes back up to the room to the left of the clocktower (and through the drawer), if he has time. Should a demon and its imp minion pop out of the grate, Echo will freak out and throw cheese lumps (small) at it, until explanations are had.

[SuperVaderMan]

Hooray! Progress!

Also, I think you forgot the web-design on the bigger image of the Spidey mask

Bleeds Profusely

"Sounds like a deal. So which way to the coffee machine, then? And how do you like your coffee?"

*Once the angel points him the right way, Bleeds will head that direction. He thinks about questioning why an angel would feel fatigue, but decides against it as this is his only way out so far*

[Whooh]

Lost will climb up to the clock room and head toward Nornia. He'll have the imp put the gem into the tower and follow him into the wardrobe.

[ChroniclerC]

Well, it kinda sucks not having a goblin around to kill things, so the CBM will leave the gnomes to their paranoia and double move through the skeleton room to the (dead) spider room. Aww, there's Bleeds. *sniff*

Cute Baby Maggot
3/3 HP
5/10 Bodies eaten
+Pathetically weak skeleton

[notimportant]

((I think the best bet for next killing would be in Nornia.))

[ChroniclerC]

Yeah, I get that feeling, too.

[lokthar]

((Well if we want to activate the cheese cannon again, I think that having the base of the wardrobe higher in the air than the top of it will let us arch a chunk of cheese to hit the worg))

"Urist requests the healing potion and drinks it if he gets it. after that he climbs the ladder and attempts to engage the well armed kobold."

[LoneStarNorth]

"Sounds like a deal. So which way to the coffee machine, then? And how do you like your coffee?"
"I'unno."
"...Great. So we just have to look everywhere I guess."



"Urist quaffs the healing potion and recovers 5 Hp, then attacks the armed kobold and deals some minor damage. The kobold counters and deals 2 damage, leaving Urist at 4. Koboldslayer attempts to fire an arrow into the fray but misses wildly."



CBM and associate return to Bleeds' grave. Not much here anymore except for his old stuff.



Lost returns to the clock tower only to be pelted with tiny pieces of cheese from above.

"Deeeeemon! I shall smite you with the blessed cheese!"

This is EXACTLY the kind of racism and stupidity Lost should've been expecting. Fortunately, cheese does no damage (at this scale).



While Sticks and dances chill out ankle-deep in saliva, Dives attempts to turn a magic missile spell into an impromptu lockpick while his pet bunny watches. It does not work.

"Dang. I guess I'm just going to have to improvise a pick out of available materials. And you know what THAT means, don't you little rabbit?"

Shortest update in WEEKS, because two of you, through PURE CHANCE, ended up in the same room at the same time, and two others didn't post.

Also, probably gonna be a skip day tomorrow.

[SuperVaderMan]

And so the Quest for the Coffee Machine begins...

Bleeds Profusely

*Bleeds enters the tennis area on the lookout for any coffee-making appliances that may or may not be around*

[knucklekraken]

And I'M not even the one who SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL!

Those bunnies aren't real anyway.

Dives gets picky.

[ChroniclerC]

Not necessarily the Devil, just a devil. *sage nod*

Anyway, CBM will have his buddy grab Bleeds' lance, and they'll continue towards the Clockroom to bigify themselves. I'm sure Echo will throw a fit about the miniature carrion crawler and skeleton if he hasn't left by then.

The skeleton isn't proficient in any weapons perchance, is he?

Cute Baby Maggot

+Pathetically weak skeleton

[SuperVaderMan]

(If the skeleton is as weak as I think he is, I doubt he'll be able to carry that big iron lance at all)

[Quarg]

I'm at a bloody loss for ideas of how to get out of here now...

wait...

Spidy sticks will begin to lay a thick band of web around the upper throat of the beast to force him to start coughing so that the twosome can make their escape...

[Naxus]

to get out of the beast's mouth, think of the controversy with supermodels. Just a thought

[brontan]

Trips on Rocks
Trips continues to follow Bleeds making more of a nuisance of himself then actually helping.

[knucklekraken]

I can see it now. Did you know Chief Massive Erection? Is it true that he slew a hundred pixies in a single round? What color was he? He was brown, wasn't he? Was he brown?

[vid20]

Give a hat to the skeleton and see if it gives him hat powers, then equip him with the lance?

[Whooh]

Lost will send the Trainer's cap back to the Hatventory and reclaim his turban.

I'm Lost-in-Thought, you idiot! Try smiting me with cheese again and I'll smite you with this desk!

Lost will have the imp put the gem into the clock tower and head up to Nornia.

[notimportant]

Echo
"A likely story! You don't fool me, demon! I will -" Here, Lost puts on his bandanna. "Lost! What are you doing here? Are you looking for the hat, too?"
Echo is about to make his way towards the left ledge, when suddenly a skeleton and a huge maggot appears from the ceiling hole!
"Why, it's the Honorary Goblin, and that nice fellow from the attic. How do you do on this fine day?" After pleasantries are exchanged, Echo goes left, and stands at the ledge.
"Hmm... I don't see any way to reach the far ledge. And I don't think I want to explore the bottom of this pit without a ladder or rope or something, so I can get back up afterwards. There's no telling what dangers might lurk below." He ponders the opposite ledge.
"I've got it! I have to light the chandelier! If only I had some sort of bow with flaming arrows... hmmm..."
"I've got it! I'll swing over with my whip!" Echo whips the chandelier, gives the whip a tug, and jumps off the ledge while shouting like that strange fellow who lived in a tree.


((As much as I want to see the room after that ledge, and realizing this action probably would be much more likely to succeed if Echo was wearing the Fedora, the goblin just doesn't remember such things. What can I do?))

[Silentobserver]

As much as Dances was certain there was some magical shape lodged somewhere within the fat beast that would only be coughed up once they solved all the problems, the goblin was quite glad for the chance to escape, and would dive for freedom should Stick's plan work.

[kitsune106]

silly idea. what if that metal thing is the thing that is causing the knot?
