The Muck Pond

[Nalaris]

((OOC: Was there a crowd of people I didn't know about?))

"Well, he doesn't sound like a very nice man," the lizard girl commented, after reading his message in the dirt. "I don't think he will help me find my mommy, but you will, you promised!"
She looked up at him with innocent eyes.

(For Swymir)

As Omura moved, she stepped on a patch of twiggy ground. A distinct snapping and crackling noise rang out, almost low enough to be hidden by the raucous noise of the clearing, but not quite. Briker heard the sound and looked into the bushes, catching sight of Omura, lightly obscured by branches.
"Hello? Who are you? Don't be afraid, come closer. We are all friends here!" Briker announced in mindspeak so that everybody could hear.

[Fleegle]

(OOC: No, not really. There is Bassus and a few nymphs of unspecified number (but not enough to make a crowd) but of course they are on the other side of the clearing, with Briker and Deimos between them and Omura, so I'm just acting on the assumption that Omura is still attempting to hide in the bushes.)

[Nalaris]

((OOC: So do I get the wine?))

Deimos' eyes lock on to the strange, four armed creature he'd seen earlier. "So, you're still following me? Do you still think I'm desperate to imprison you?"

Deimos than realizes his stupidity going about the wine getting. He does, after all, have a little super power. He makes a mind myst around whoever's carrying the fullest wine bottle and grabs it. He's not sure if there's a difference between before myst or after...but nonetheless, it's nice to be sure.

[Fleegle]

(OOC: I'm sorry Nalaris, I completely missed your post. Actually there are no bottles of wine, just the bottomless decanter that Jilly is holding, and maybe some cups lying around that are already filled.)

(For Nalaris)

Try as he might, Deimos could not find any bottles. He did however see a quaint cup sitting on a rock that was almost full of wine. A nymph (Jilly) off to the side held a decanter, and would periodically top up Bassus' cup, which sloshed about in his hand while his other hand was on the waist of another nymph.

[Nalaris]

Deimos grabs the cup, leaving the mind mysted nymph behind. He then goes back to the clearing and takes the only path he's yet to take.

[Fleegle]

(For Swymir)

In his drunken stupor, Bassus neglected to notice that Jilly had been put under Deimos' spell and the decanter taken. Seeing what had transpired, Briker protested against Deimos' actions, though Deimos had already left the clearing by the time he was able to rouse Bassus and the other nymphs.
Bassus stopped dancing and looked over at Jilly, who stared blankly forward.
"My wine! My precious wine! The thief, he must be stopped! Where did he go?"
Bassus face became washed over with a rare look of anger and determination. "I will not have my wine stolen and my nymphs hoodwinked!" he declared. Bassus put two fingers in his mouth and blew as hard as he could. A shrill whistle sounded throughout the forest. Bassus then marched out of the clearing, down the path towards the central clearing. A cloud of fireflies surrounded his figure, lighting his way. Briker hung back in Bassus' clearing, as did the several nymphs.

(For Nalaris)

As Deimos made his way into the forest path to the village, he heard a brief but loud whistle echo throughout the forest. Moments later, he heard a crashing and thrashing in the branches to his left. A great shape barrelled out in front of him, a heavy thud marking its landing on the path before him. In the light of the fireflies, he could see the imposing figure of an eight-foot tall, bulky wildcat. Its eyes glowed hot as it stared him down. It looked briefly at the decanter, then back at Deimos. It lowered its front half as if about to pounce, a wild look in its eyes.

(Just a friendly reminder that Jilly is still under your mind myst. Remember the limitations on your power.)

*He looks up at the girl as she talks,and smiles at her when she is done, and then looks back down at the dirt, and writes"oh, He is the god of justic, and thus he is just. But that is als he is.And Of course I will help you. It would be mean not to. and I did promis"*

(OOC: is that to long fleegle?)

[swymir]

Omura watched as Deimos ran off with the wine and Briker after him. For awhile she did not know what to do but decided to run ahead and see what happened. She knew that Deimos shouldn't have taken that wine. How could someone like that accuse her of being a thief?

[Fleegle]

(OOC: Swymir, Briker didn't follow Deimos, Bassus did. I said Briker and the nymphs stayed behind.)

(For Pie)

"Okay, where should we look for my mommy?" the little lizard girl asked.

(For Swymir)

Omura followed Bassus as he made his way to the central clearing. She moved quicker than he did, so it did not take long to catch up to him. By this time they had made it to the central clearing.

[Pie]

*he sits doun and starts to think. he then stands up and starts walking doun the path. When he notices that she isn't following him, he looks back and then motions for her to come with him*

[swymir]

(OOC: Sorry about that, was getting the names confused)

Omura looks on from the sidelines.

[Fleegle]

(For Pie)

The lizard-girl ran after Ithicus, catching up with him as they made their way into the hills. The landscape became less grassy and more dusty, grey and biege rock surrounding them on all sides. The path ascended up the side of a rock face, interrupted in a few places with rubble from fallen rocks, but still navigable.

[Nalaris]

Deimos says softly to himself "Oh crap...what's your name?" Deimos asks, crouching down, preparing to dive into the foliage.

[Razorlance]

"The door at the back has opened Ao" Tek mindspoke, he quickly pushes himself up onto two limbs and cartwheels across the room and around to the back of the vehicle, stopping but staying on two limbs when he get's there "I think I should be able to fit, will I get in or do you think a quick scout about outside might be helpful?"
