B S Here (II)

Web!! Excellent catch!

Chauncey awakens early and sits up. A vague, unidentifiable feeling gnaws at him. Turning his head slowly to the left, a small, harmless spider comes into focus climbing steadily yet erratically up the inner wall of his shack near his head. His attention is abruptly fixed. Blinking, he sees only the jittering pattern of the spider's struggle, all else losing focus, for as it climbs it does indeed with its trajectory and silhouette, the light playing off the criss-crossing intersections of its tiny legs, form a pattern that conveys a secret meaning, a cryptic language of secret symbols meant only for Chauncey.... The universe comes to a halt for a full two minutes as he stares, eyes going wider by the second.

Suddenly he snaps out of his reverie and scrambles to retrieve his writing instruments and spell book. Over the next hour he scrabbles the pattern down from memory on two blank pages, start to finish, then sits back and gasps.

HELL, yeah!

Of course......

The NPC is the only one still conscious.

Give me a bit to figure out how to handle this situation.

Stand by.....

See? You made your island too dangerous. Now you have to have an adventure with yourself.

[OGRE MAGE]

It may have been mentioned that I already play with myself too much.

[Bluehorse]

Wow Scott308, bravo! Never seen anyone that successful with a bb roll, much less that many at once!

[OGRE MAGE]

Oh ya!

Rah, rah!

Real frickin cool!

[Bluehorse]

Okay... so did the guy on the logging trail not have the two injured figures with them?

[OGRE MAGE]

I have no idea what you're asking.

If you get confused, you are always welcome to reread the posts.

[Bluehorse]

Ive read it over and seems to me we have three people on the logging trail who have collapsed. Monocar want to help them bit is offering LF a piggyback ride so he can tell Monocar what he knows and get him over there at the same time.

[OGRE MAGE]

No, only two. And actually, only one of them collapsed. The other was just dropped.

If you look at the timeline, and my never ending patient struggle to keep characters around, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what is happening here.

[SirOwen]

Sorry about the quick change in subject, but I missed that I get a new spell for my book with each level. I edited and added to Avaala's wake-up post to include the discovery of a new spell instead of posting it down the line where it would make NO sense.

Maybe if this porcupine thing is firing needles we can make some shields or something out of spare limbs to stop some some of the quills from hitting any of us - or those in the lead?

Does the needles look like iron daggers or more truly like some itsy-bitsy porcupine quills that a simple shield may stop?

[SirOwen]

I had Avaala pull some out of Jax' clothes. I was wondering about that myself. I know they are numerous enough and small enough to disallow the monks' skill at swatting away projectiles.

[Bluehorse]

Also have to consider the force behind them. Even a soft projectile can do damage if shot hard enough. Heck, i used to go squirrel hunting with a beanflip and a rubber ball. These quills look like they pack a punch.

[Bluehorse]

Franny is a monkey?!

[ChubbyPixie]

SHE WAS DISGUISED AS A DWARF THIS WHOLE TIME.

[Monsieur Rose]

Love it! You must have been waiting for us to cast that spell forever.

[Bluehorse]

And CP comes up with the most Chauncy answer yet! Oddly enough... OOC...
