"Seeing as it could well be my last meal, hell yes please."

Weird, moving very stiffly, went to get the cake. HugoLuman walked further into the room "Sorry to scare you. Hopefully I'll get some kind of really distinguishing scar on my face when this is all over. Anyway, I don't know if you've heard, but I think I've caused them to go into negotiations. Right now they're saying that they might leave this place alone if Zanzetkuken is delivered to them. Only problem is, I'm kind of leeching off his soul for my survival right now."

[Oliolli]

"Seriously? Captured by this ragtag bunch of bandits? How disappointing. I thought you were better than that. I thought I'd get to fight you with the body of that titan before killing your soul, but now, all had to do was possess that weak Nozut. Slit your throat, slit mine and we get to fight for the last time."
Inside his head, Oliolli smiled. As Oliolli had been talking, a large group of figures had gathered into the part of the cave Oliolli was being held in. As they saw their friend Nozut produce a knife, obviously planning on killing the prisoner, the leader of the group tapped Oliolli on the shoulder, asking what he was doing.
"Umm... You remember what old Willie used to say?"
"Willie?"
"About how continuous possession can be used to defeat a force of any size?"
He was talking to Oliolli, referring to another oliolli who had later lost his mind. What Oliolli knew, and Oliolli didn't, was that it was the possessing of bodies that caused him to lose his mind.
"What are you talking about?"
And with that, Oliolli ran his knife through the leader's throat. Nozut's body was soon overcome by the others, but Oliolli only needed to possess another body to keep killing. Chaos broke out, as everyone in the room thought that everyone else was going crazy. Everyone attacked everyone else, with Oliolli jumping from body to another and Oliolli bound and gagged on the floor. Not long after the only living things in the room were Oliolli, one figure, bleeding to death and a kitten.
"I really didn't need to see this."
"That worked out well for you, didn't it? All you have left is a dying body."
"Well what about you, then? Bound and gagged in an empty cave, no-one knows you're here. I'll just bring in a living body to finish you off."
The kitten was scratching Oliolli's ropes.
"That still probably increased my life expectancy. Thanks."
Hmm, even if Oliolli were available, I don't think it'd be hard to make him accept to splice onto Hugo's soul. Oliolli is enough of a 'concience' for Oliolli, who is primarily in charge. Oliolli would probably have no problems with it, the question just is that would it even work? Oliolli being divided as he is and with the whole spirit-of-Oliolli -thing (that has kept Oliolli around), it might get strange.

A mechanical human would likely have no biological clock...

A mechanical human may have an actual clock.

-Wait, I am confused now. Who has the two bodies? Gizogin or Olliloli?-

[WillowLuman]

-Wait, I am confused now. Who has the two bodies? Gizogin or Olliloli?-

(Puts on recap cap) Okay. Bear with me here. Gizogin has two bodies, or rather one body and an exact robot duplicate of himself. Oliolli has two personalities, and a nemesis named Oliolli. (takes off recap cap.)

[Eric Blank]

[You guys have nearly lost me with this discussion. That's waht I get for spending 14 hours trying to get TESAnnwyn to spit out the Skyrim heightmap I wanted for a mod. Bloody inconsiderate Bethesda could have at least made sure the import/save functions worked properly so we could actually import the image files they want us to use for mods. Morons.]
Eric was searching all the halls, all the dorms, for any sign of the other Forumites. Reudh was the only one in the panic bunker, but he refused to come out to join the negotiations. Happyface had wandered off out of site of the zombie sentries, Zanzetkuken was thus-far nowhere to be found, Corai was still guarding the dining hall, which was good, but Wierd and Hugo were accessible. They'd have to do. He began making his way to the kitchens, accoridng to one kitten, where Wierd, acting the nutcase as usual, was apparently cooking. Not the best time to be doing that, but there were a few straggler civilian dwarves that for whatever reason didn't think it was important to avoid getting killed. Perhaps Wierd and Hugo were simply suffering from a similar psychosis.

As he reached the kitchens, he peeked inside and yelled to them, "Hey! We need to go discuss our options with the invaders. They're becoming impatient. Commander's starting to pace."

[WillowLuman]

"There you are!" snapped Roead at Eric. "Come on, boy, we've got some talking to do. And if I have my way, demands to make." He looked into the kitchen. "What the bloody hell are you doing, mate? Aren't you going to come up and talk?"

[Eric Blank]

"I'm... Sorry, Roead, but there is absolutely no fucking way I'm letting you take part in this debate. Your demands and your temper would get us all killed. Just stay inside."

[WillowLuman]

"And there is absolutely no way I'm letting you speak to them, wanker! Your inexperience will get us all killed. I'll have you know that I used to talk me and my caravan out of all manner of trouble. And you don't want to know how many times I've had to negotiate for hostages; it happens more often than you'd think, ya know!"

[Corai]

-If fighting starts, someone get Corai. I really wanna kill that siege.-

[Eric Blank]

"And there is absolutely no way I'm letting you speak to them, wanker! Your inexperience will get us all killed. I'll have you know that I used to talk me and my caravan out of all manner of trouble. And you don't want to know how many times I've had to negotiate for hostages; it happens more often than you'd think, ya know!"

"Inexperienced or not, I'm at least tactful enough to conclude a conversation without punching someone in the face. It's simple; I go out, cast my spell, tell them we don't have any recent refugees that had any association with them, and that we don't know where Zanzetkuken ran off to, and that they should search somewhere else but are welcome to camp in the clearing. The only demand we need to make is that they do not engage in any hostilities and only small parties may enter the fortress to negotiate. It's the honest truth, and only a deity could interfere with my magics anyway, which these dragons are not, and as far as I know, they do not worship any either. Zanzetkuken did mention a force that is corrupting them or something, but that force is likely no more than their greed for power."

[wierd]

Eric and Roead were bickering, as usual.

Weird shouted across the kitchen melodiously.  "Would you guys like some cake?  Oh! Beef and noodles!"

In a sudden flurry of kitchen activity, he viggorously stirred the sticking mushrooms, beef and noodles in the oversized saucepan, before darting back to the counter to stir some well water with a tablespoon of flour, then back to the saucepan again, stirring the liquid into the cooking main course. Damn that was close. Almost burned it.

He was really hungry now. He felt like he could eat the whole pan by himself.

[Eric Blank]

"I can't stand noodles, no, and I just had a full meal. We really need to go, so if you aren't coming and don't have any good ideas to help, I'll be going now. Hugo? Got any decent ideas that don't involve pissing off an entire army?"

[wierd]

Wierd's face twisted in amusement and contempt mixed.

"Fine! You don't get any then! I'll feed your share to corai instead!"

The pot of creme of mushroom soup next to pot of boiling water he was using to scald the noodles before simmering them in the pan with the beef and mushrooms bubbled angrily on the low coals, the lid clattering.

"Whhooooo... calm down baby.... we'll have bread real soon now....."

The dough ball *had* risen a little.... that was a good sign.

Returning his attention back to Eric and Roead, he added his 2 cents worth.

"Why don't you both go?"

[WillowLuman]

"I'd be careful with your jedi mind tricks if I were you, Eric. Zanzetkuken mentioned something about a coup to me earlier, so I think these guys might be from that interdimensional citadel he used to rule. I don't know what they're capable of, so let's make sure they haven't put any kind of protection before you try something like that."

[Eric Blank]

"It's possible, I guess, if they had been blessed or the commander himself also knows the secrets. I'll test him, first, for sure, in a way that would not be offensive."
