  1. "Well," said Bacon the Bard, "would you like me to teleport you straight to her? Or would that ruin the fun?" "I presume that it's full of books," said Erif drily. "Give a holler if you find it." With that, he jogged up a staircase to begin his search. Exploring time! Make something up.
  2. "That's a funny name! Is she a friend of yours?" "Alright," said Erif. "We should fan out and look for the library."
  3. "Well, my timetable is open!" Bacon the Bard whipped out a traveling pack and snapped. Time resumed its regular flow. "So, what are we doing exactly?" Erif seemed somewhat taken back by the interest. "I... well, I can, it's just a little bit more effort." He extended his hands and focused, teleporting Jilu, Gail, Shoe, Qodi, and Tull (along with himself) to the castle in question.
  4. "Ah, my! What of me leaving you alone to forget you ever saw me?" "I'd be honored to have your help." Erif bowed again, very slightly. "Now, the last clue I received placed its location in that castle we were at earlier." "Well," said Selppaenip, swallowing a bite of chicken, "there haven't been any dark acolytes attempting to summon demons, disguised ninjas waiting to kidnap us, or old ladies."
  5. "Oh ho ho," said Bacon the Bard. "First you steal their blood, then you steal their life! Next question. What is the exact shade of your eyes?" Erif rubbed his beard thoughtfully. "Hmm. In that case, would you be willing to help me with my current quest? I'm looking for a book. It's called The Book of Unwinding Thread." Selppaenip watched the food with intensity. When no murderous brownies appeared, he set on the food with equal fervor. TP did likewise. MIdway through the meal, Selppaenip paused with a frown. "Do you smell rabbit?" he inquired.
  6. Well, Haly. How do you steal a Forveant bond? Answer carefully. Your lore may depend on this.
  7. "The full power of my eyes is in effect," responded Selppaenip, watching the waiter with extreme focus. Was that a knife in his pocket? TP turned to follow ...'s gaze.
  8. The fourth wall exists for Erif and Nogard. That's why they can't comprehend the true nature of Narrators/Authors. You right. He didn't teleport very far though. Just a short hop. Erif's gaze lingered on the blade for a moment longer, then he shook his head, as if to clear the thought away. "Well. My sincerest thanks for clearing my curse." He bowed. "Is there anything that I could help you with, in exchange?" Nogard exhaled and stood up. "Well. It sounds like the world might be in danger from these 'Plotblades' and this Great Wizard. We should try and figure out who he is, don't you think?"
  9. Elif was a teleporting hamster that had just so happened to appear in that spot for a few moments. Erif didn't go anywhere, that was all just in his head. I'm sure we'll see Erif's fourth wall break eventually. "Pinky promise!" Nogard smiled faintly. "Thanks, Shoe." Erif considered Tull's Plotblade thoughtfully. "Say... would that be able to reverse a curse on a place?"
  10. Erif felt the blade touch his skin- -and then he was somewhere else. Erif floated in the air, surrounded by four veils of shimmering light. He was in a hall- although the word seemed so pale to describe the majesty of the room. At the end sat a figure clad in armor of solid black. He was writing with one hand in the air, forming letters of ruby and saphhire that twisted together into strands of brilliant light. As Erif looked around, he realized that lines of that light were flowing into him from every direction. Curious, he squinted his eyes to make out the letters that comprised their form. -As Erif watched, the letters described exactly what was happening to him moment by moment, thought by thought. Almost as if they were dictating every moment he experienced, every thought he had. As if he were those words written by the man in black armor sitting on the throne at the end of the hall. Because he was. A shill, desperate, maddened screech filled the air. Erif dimly realized that he was the one screaming. He couldn't tear his eyes away. Couldn't turn away. Couldn't tear away the fact that he was ink and paper and nothing mattered and nothing was real and- With a thunderous snap, the first veil burst into shimmering splinters. Erif gasped, stumbling backwards as soft darkness filled his mind. Erif gasped, falling to his knees, his eyes dilated, his heart racing- Why was he anxious again? He tried to remember, but the recollection slipped away like water through sand, until all that was left was faint unease. With a start, he realized that everything seemed... brighter. His skin felt warmer, too, as though he were standing in the vicinity of an oven. The sun, he realized with a jolt. The rain is gone. The curse is gone. I can see the sun again. Cautiously, he tried a teleport. Nothing happened. He teleported again. The sky remained cloud-free. He laughed in disbelief. "Just like that, huh?" In that moment of joy, any lingering unease faded from his mind, until even the memory of that faint emotion had been forgotten. One wall of four had broken. But the other three stood strong.
  11. "Deal!" declared the Bacon Bard, taking her hand and shaking. "Me first. What are those files you're so interested in?"
  12. "...sure. But if I turn into one of those monsters, incinerate me."
  13. "I can do that! Answer my questions and you'll never have to see me again."
  14. "Hmm," pondered the Bacon Bard. "What do you want? Money? Powers? Immortality? A bacon donut?" Erif blinked. "I mean... No, I don't know how to get rid of the curse. I would have done it by now if I could. You're saying that could just... make it go away?" Erif and Tull were having their own mini-adventure before the whole Brave Adventurer thing. Tull didn't get swept up in OA's teleport- he defeated the random bad guy that showed up and claimed his Plotblades, then teleported to Erif. Erif woke up and told Nogard he's only good for causing problems, which somewhat crushed Nogard's spirits.
  15. Erif blinked. "And he just... let you have them?" Erif's rain curse? It was put on him by a witch. It's tied to his ability to teleport. If he teleports more, then the storm around him gets worse.
  16. "Oh," said Erif. "Hey, Tull. Glad to see you-" He blinked. "Wait, weren't those the weapons that Baron guy was using?" I know quite a bit about Erif's curse. It makes it rain wherever he goes. The other curse isn't a curse on Erif. "Well, if there is no opportunity cost, you might as well, yes? Why not! It will be fun!" Nogard opened his mouth, then closed it. He slumped to the ground.
  17. "Are you certain? I won't take any of your time at all! When I'm gone you won't even remember I was here!"
  18. Yeah, he got knocked out. (I forgot to mention it.) Erif groaned, holding a hand to his forehead as he regained consciousness. He glared at Nogard. "How is it you always manage to mess things up?" "I'll take that as a yes! You see, you are a Brand New Character! Which means the thread has a lot of questions about you and your backstory! Can I have a moment of your time to answer some questions?!"
  19. "Hello!" said Bacon the Bard from three inches in front of her. "Is your name Beosta?" Nope posts here don't count :P.
  20. @The Aspiring Archivist, since you've been here there's only really been a couple of scenes from Sandy's point of view. The whole party decided to set off searching for Gail's rabbit. They arrive at the mountain, but then an Important Thing happens with the Brave Adventurers related to new Plotblades. OA feels a disturbance in the force and decides he wants to get in on the action, and everyone else tags along. They walk in on the Brave Adventurers arresting a group under suspicion of being spies. (They also find Gail's rabbit.) Nogard recognizes his brother among them, and a fight breaks out. A dude named The Baron of Wrath shows up with a Plotblade and starts turning people into weird monsters, and then OA teleports everyone out of the Brave Adventurers' HQ and onto a snowy mountain (which is where we are now.) There was a thump as the door was flung open. "Greetings, all!" cried Bacon the Bard. "Fear not, for I have come to vanquish boredom!" He started juggling pianos and playing them at the same time. "I, uh... I think I caught something about the Great Wizard? They thought my brother was a spy for him, or something."
  21. Nogard glanced up. "Hey, where are you guys going?"
  22. Qodi was chilling in the room and overheard everything. "Was it about the plotblades?" inquired Nogard.
  23. "So," remarked Nogard, "Did anyone catch what that meeting was about?"
  24. Nogard exhaled, leaning on his spear. "Everyone made it out alright?"
