[Fortis]

Action: Bowser tries to see how far he can move while time is frozen. If he can, he heads down along the lake.

"That clock thing freezes time? Oh, this is good. This is really good. We need to find out what we can do while time is frozen. How far we can go." Bowser said. "Just think. If another big guy comes, we freeze time, and surround him. Instant flanking! We just gotta keep a guy ready at the cube. Stand down queen. No need to get worried just yet. That fight doesn't start until we say so! Let's first see what we can do while time is frozen, then get good and ready for the fight. (Besides, I'm supposed to be the one barking orders anyway.)"

"Wish I had that while fighting Mario. Whenever he stomped me, I'd just hit the clock, stand aside, and put a spiny in my place. Free ass acupuncture. Heh heh heh." Bowser mumbled to himself as he tried to see how far he can move while time was frozen. He sought to head down alongside the lake, towards the chest that Aidan found.

Queen nodded and looked down.

: "Y-you're right, King. Er, Bowser. King Bowser. I just don't want to lose anyone else."

[Burkhart]

[ACTION] Explore with Bowser.

"That clock thing freezes time? Oh, this is good. This is really good. We need to find out what we can do while time is frozen. How far we can go." Bowser said. "Just think. If another big guy comes, we freeze time, and surround him. Instant flanking! We just gotta keep a guy ready at the cube. Stand down queen. No need to get worried just yet. That fight doesn't start until we say so! Let's first see what we can do while time is frozen, then get good and ready for the fight. (Besides, I'm supposed to be the one barking orders anyway.)"

"Wish I had that while fighting Mario. Whenever he stomped me, I'd just hit the clock, stand aside, and put a spiny in my place. Free ass acupuncture. Heh heh heh."

"THAT COULD BE A VIABLE STRATEGY, BUT BEFORE WE USE ANY TIME STOPPING ABILITIES FOR COMBAT, WE SHOULD TEST THE LIMITS OF THIS POWER. IF WE ACT TOO FOOLHARDY, WE MAY FIND OURSELVES IN A DIRE SITUATION AS THE TIME RETURNS TO NORMAL. IN ANY CASE, I SHALL JOIN YOU, BOWSER. EXPLORATION SEEMS TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE THING WE CAN DO AT THIS MOMENT, AND EVEN IN THIS STATE, TRAVELING ALONE IS NEEDLESSLY DANGEROUS."

[Tiruin]

((So I PM'd Dex a question...have to find it out here.))

(ACTION): Examine where the course of water is flowing to, and if not- how is there any current in the first place?

Good grief. Turbid waters ahead, and a chest on the forward ridge, and nothing to my side but leagues of endless space.

...Somehow, I've always liked this isle- Daros, they called it? The aesthetics, and the innate beauty of the world. Doesn't explain the monsters- err, enemies we're facing though, and there's no probability of examining them up close-

What am I thinking. There must be a cause for all this, if not the source of the lake. A choppy tide resembles a shallow base, if that proverb is right.

Aidan sat by the lakeside and stared at his own reflection, musing. In the tranquil waters of the azure lake, he swore he could see something straight from his memories, but only for a fleeting second.

"One day, I'll see you again."

Dell: "Hooee! That took no time at all! The Dispenser is UP!"

"Actually, come to think of it, there is something I might need to do right about now." Garek made his way to the Bell of Heroes. "Hey, Ding, right? Do you need to re-scan me, or are we good to go for skills and whatnot?"

: "YOU ARE CLEARED FOR SKILL PERUSION! Just look at the cube and guide yourself to the skill area and such! It shouldn't be hard to locate!"

Spoiler: Garek (click to show/hide)

"...Wow okay, that might have been the fasted I have ever moved!"

"YEAH, BUT IT STILL FEELS ODD. EVEN I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS."



Aidan: "Wait, I can walk on the water? And the deep fog doesn't move away when I move closer to it? What?"

So yeah pretty much I am gonna talk as in character as I can with you guys to give some kind of exposition. Please do not be hurt about it.

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Hey, do you guys mind if I go ahead and buy myself the "Stop Bleeding" skill with the tones in the chest, or are those earmarked for somethin'?"

((Yay, it's back!))

[Dermonster]

"Haha, oh this feels like old times." Dell exclaimed. "If Yall need a healing or anything, this should patch you right up! Back in my world this healed injuries and dispensed ammo, no telling what it does here."

Dell grinned to himself for a moment and then looked around. Nothing that needed doing immediantly came to mind.

"Hrm." Peering down river toward Bowser and Co, Dell noticed the peculiar arrangement. "Looks like we can't do much in the way of explorin' when time is stopped."

Dell glanced around and shrugged. "Might as well make sure nothing strange is goin' on with my machine, I guess."

Take note of what effects the conversion to this world may have had on my despenser.

[freeformschooler]

(ACTION) Store old robe in the Cube. Check if the dispenser dispenses ammo. If so, take ammo. If not, use it to restore Magick Part. If not, see what the heck it does do.

: "Ammo? It... dispenses ammo? We could all use a bit of that, yes."

[Burkhart]

[ACTION: Grab yon chest if it cannot be opened and bring it back to camp.]

"LET US JUST GRAB THAT CHEST AND RETURN TO THE OTHERS. I FEAR THAT LINGERING TOO LONG IN THIS STATE MAY HAVE UNSEEN CONSEQUENCES. I DO NOT WISH TO SEE WHAT THOSE CONSEQUENCES MAY BE."

[Caellath]

(ACTION) Laze about until the rest of the team returns and time resumes its course.

: "Wonder how the scouting's going."

[Dwarmin]

Sadie felt like something has started again. The waters were flowing quick and clear, and she was moving faster now, though still curled in a sleep like state.

It was still dark, but she could see the light above...and the love it promised. It was the light of the Sun, quavery and beautiful viewed through the veil of the ocean.

She had to believe He was still was waiting for here...that He was still okay...Memory and Hope sped her pulse to a treble, and in all worlds-she took a deep strong, breath. If open air or merely oxygen molecules strained from water, it was the same. Life in the moment.

She began to swim toward toward the Surface. It was a long way.

Action: Be resurrected! I know not now, maybe not even soon, but eventually one day!

[Evergod41]

(ACTION) Approach dispenser, receive bacon ammo.

"Oh! A dispenser! Who needs to gather ammo when this can just give it to me?

"Hey, do you guys mind if I go ahead and buy myself the "Stop Bleeding" skill with the tones in the chest, or are those earmarked for somethin'?"

"Nay, if they be in the chest they belong to anyone."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Hey, do you guys mind if I go ahead and buy myself the "Stop Bleeding" skill with the tones in the chest, or are those earmarked for somethin'?"

"Nay, if they be in the chest they belong to anyone."

"Rockin'. Ding, I want to buy Stop Bleeding!"

Action: Retrieve tones from chest, then buy Stop Bleeding.

[Tiruin]

Strange..."Very strange."

Aidan kicked at the water beneath his feet. It wasn't like glass in which he stood upon, rigid and unconforming - it was the exact opposite. It was water, obviously, but it was still as fluid as expected, only a resemblance of a thin skein around his feet showing the minute ripples in the water.

"Even the fog doesn't move, nor can I see anything past it. It's like-" he turned back and saw Bowser along with Reggie and waved at them, "_{-like we haven't moved from our point of origin. Somehow?}"

The Elf glanced around before deciding to head back to where he came from. "-and what's this here?"

A box. A strange greyish rectangular prism right on the edge of the fog, and muchly atop the water.

This was strange.

It was like a dream.

(ACTION): Approach and try to open that box. If it can't be opened, try to move it from its position - carrying it with me to where I came. If that's impossible, return to shore.

Queen stuffs her old clothes in the Cube and Dell examines the new dispenser. Cora approaches this new machine with her bow in hand. It perks up at the sight of the weapon.

: <HOOOOOOOOW-DEE! WELCOME TO THE DUSTBOWL, PARNERS. I'M YER LOVELY HELPER, DISPENSER AI #41583, AND I'M REDDY TA START DISPENSIN. LET'S GETCHA STARTED OFF WITH SUMMADAT HEALTH N' MANA, MM?>

Action: Retrieve tones from chest, then buy Stop Bleeding.

Garek retrieves 10 tones from the Cube. He also feels energized. The Dispenser has dispensed Health and Mana to everyone near it: Queen, Garek, Dell and Cora!

[ACTION: Grab yon chest if it cannot be opened and bring it back to camp.]

(ACTION): Approach and try to open that box. If it can't be opened, try to move it from its position - carrying it with me to where I came. If that's impossible, return to shore.

Aidan approaches the chest alongside REGIS. He pops open the top, and a pink, heart-shaped thing comes out! It looks like a fashion accessory, the kind you can clip to your shirt or something. He tries to pocket it, but he doesn't have enough inventory space. Instead, REGIS takes it for him.

Unfortunately, this leaves REGIS without the space to carry the large chest back to camp. It looks like he needs 2x2 inventory slots for that. Drat...




Garek hands 10 tones to Ding in exchange for his Stop Bleeding ability. The bell rings and plays a soothing yet haunting tune, chiming in sync with Garek's quickened heartbeats. For a brief moment, he does not see the bell or the land around him. He watches his allies, running through a collapsing cave toward a light at the end of the tunnel. He remembers the comfort his scimitars and combat prowess brought him in the face of unimaginable danger. Finally, he sees the faint smile of his hobbit friend, Tasselhoff before the vision fades and he is brought back to the Bell of Heroes just as it ends its song.

Garek: "Hmm."

Garek feels the power to close his own wounds welling up inside him.

Oh God, I'm so happy to be running this, it's like my dream come true I hope it didn't screw it up too badly. Please bear with me in the case of any mistakes. Let's get this party started again!
