The Muck Pond

[Razorlance]

"Yes, let us go, I can keep a limb on him, make sure he does not follow us" He drops down onto four limbs then starts walking back along the path keeping the device in his raised rear limb focused on the Wizard as he leaves.

Omura came to, slumped over the shoulder of Deimos.

(OOC: Sorry, i thought that i had alredy gon doun the path to the left. I will do that now)

*He dicieds to follow the construct, knowing that his way is most likly the best way. As he follows him, he seas Andric, and an ant....*

[swymir]

As she wakes up she feels a little groggy. Her vision is still blured and she can't quite make out anything, but she does notice that objects are moving past her.

"What... What's going on? Are we going to prison? I told you I didn't knowingly steal anything. Everything I had, I found and thought nobody wanted, and I even gave it all back. Please put me down. I don't want to go."

She begins to struggle to get herself free of Deimos' grasp. She hits him with all of our arms and squirms about.

[Nalaris]

Deimos drops her and says, as sincerely as she can "Prison? I don't think there is a prison around here, none that I know of. Look, I'm not going to hurt you. If I wanted something I could've left your dead carcass hanging on a tree a long time ago, trust me. If I wanted to hurt you, I would've done so a long time before now. You're safe, I won't let anyone hurt you."

[swymir]

Upon hitting the ground she scrambles into the bushes.

"What are you talking about? You were chasing me all over the place and were trying to take me to prison."

She keeps her distance from Deimos.

[Nalaris]

"I found you lying uncouncious on the ground. And, like I said, I don't think there's a prison for at least a hundred miles, and I'd never go that far to imprison something that's not a threat to me."

[Leo Luncid]

As Andrik looked straight down as soon as it's boot-like foot nearly stomped the tiny creature. It could now clearly see Briker into view, and only nodded at the ant, only to be interrupted by forest god making a tumble to it's tall and seemily proud stance. The construct made a slow nod a bit further than it's last, almost like a bow, in response to the god's welcoming. It took a look at the cup of wine Jilly's offering, and shook it's head, indicating it's mouthless surface on it's face with it's gauntlet-like hand.

Andrik attempts to look over this scene at this time, seemily searching what it overlooked at it's first glance.

[swymir]

"Just stay back. Why should I trust you? You could crush me at any moment. You could just be messing with my mind and waiting for me to trust you so that you can get some twisted pleasure from crushing my skull from behind when I least expect it."

Omura hops from spot to spot to keep as much distance between her and Deimos as possible, while keeping him in her sights.

[AoM]

"Glad to be back on track," Ao rumbles, "I hope we reach the Goddess soon, it would be nice to sit for a spell." He plods ahead on the path, trusting Tek to keep a limb on the look out for the wizard.

[Pie]

*He walks ofer to andrik, looks around, and reluctently asks)Hello... this is andrik..*He sais, jesturing to the construct or helmitoid as i like to call him(Cous hes made with a helmit)* And I am Ithicus.

[Schme]

MushBall shrugged at the Yanisha’s disgust. “Not all people can, I suppose, appreciate the great beauty of justice and retribution.”

MushBall continued along the path, observing all that he saw. Once at the crossroads, he decided to stop a while to rest, and to consider which way to go. “Have you any knowledge of these roads, Yanisha?” he asked, wondering which route would be better.

[Nalaris]

"Well you are a nervous little creature, aren't you? I'll make it simple for you: I'm offering you protection. Take it or leave it." He stops approaching her, and beckons with his hand.

[swymir]

"But how do I know your not just saying that so that you can eat me later on down the road?"

[Fleegle]

(For AoM and Razorlance)

Ao and Tek continued along the mountain path. The path was quite steep in places, and it became more difficult to advance. The wind whipped at the higher altitude, nearly blowing them off the mountain. Kikkik dug in to Ao's shoulder to brace himself against the wind.
"We are almost there," Kikkik spoke as the path leveled off. Before them, the path weaved in between two peaks, at a slight decline. In the distance they could see a gaping hole in the side of the mountain, which they presumed was Mother's Mouth. At this altitude, a heavy frost lay about everything, and in some spots, snow had collected. It was not overly cold, but then neither of the Muckies had ever experienced colder temperatures before.

(For Schme)

"I know of nothing beyond my forest, Mushy." Yanisha replied. "Bassus sometimes tells us stories, but we do not learn much in the forest. If I had to pick a direction I would take the right path, since it seems to lead to more forest. I would be more in my element there, I think, but that is just my preference. We can go anywhere you like, Mushy."

(For Leo and Pie)

"Ah! Welcome, welcome *hic*! Anossher one!" Bassus exclaimed, seeing Ithicus. "I shee heesh gos no mouth... a pity, nosh to b'able ta drink. Bushyou, you can! Jilly, give thish one a drink."
Jilly handed the cup she had poured for Andrik to Ithicus.
"Hi Ithicus," spoke the ant, Briker. "Careful with that wine, too much'll make your head spin. I am Briker, I was born of the Muck as I presume you were. I had a few adventures, but I've settled down here in the forest with Bassus and the nymphs. I must say though, if you're looking for adventure you won't find it here in the forest. Things are pretty quiet around here since the battle with the Pink Ones. I have heard that the village is suffering from some plague or something, so they are no longer a threat. Don't worry, the plague won't affect creatures of the Muck, or so I've been told. If you want adventure, you might want to go north, past the village. I've never been past the village before, but I am told some interesting folks live up that way."
