"You two keep an eye out here. I'm gonna go back and see how the other group is doing. Sound's like they ain't done with their fight yet." Bowser ordered, before turning around and heading back south. He started looking for the second group, following the sounds of their battle. "Tinman, grab that chest and pull it out here. Might as well check it out too," Bowser said as he left.

: "I'll follow you after checking on the chests. Not much to do afterwards anyway."

[Burkhart]

REGIS grabbed Bowser by the edge of his shell behind the neck

"IFFUNS YOUSE GOINGS TO LEAVE, YOUSE GONNA LEAVES THE CUBES HERE. DAT WAY ALL DA LITTLE CUBEUN GUYS IS ALLS IN ONES SPOT. OK, SPIKEUN?"

[Tiruin]

Aidan felt the familiar thump of his boot fall on the creature, strangely it had little effect than what he expected - the anatomy was all wrong.

And he was proven soon afterwards, for in the split second it took to regain balance, including reasonable footing, the thing swiveled around and blasted him with...a boulder.

He felt pain, of course, but somewhat not akin to what he considered 'pain'. It felt...different, as if a simple rock put him on the brink of death.

Wasn't he a warrior? What had happened in his transition to Acos? Or was his body in the real world truly broken, and his form here but a feeble simulacrum of his spirit.

Nonetheless, the wounded Aidan returned to his fighting stance, uncaring of the wounds received.

"I will not fall again!"

Bash the next...err, spindly creature!

If possible, grapple it's head to twist it to hit those other blackish creatures nearby!

EVENT!



"Hold it right there, scum!"

An odd voice rang out from within the bell! Nikolai located a Generic Bow in the chest.

: "Oh no, not this guy."

: "No! You don't mean...?"



An odd bell with legs leapt out of the bottom of the larger bell!

: "It is I, DONG!!"

: "Pfffff!"

: "Phheefhefhfehf."

: "...That IS my name though!!"



"Yes I, Dong, am here! My duty I MUST fulfill! I am the Bell of Villains! I serve my lord and master with pride, and you shall all feel the wrath of MEEEE!!!"

"...Except I am not going to fight you! BUT, I am going to do THIS!"



A very long chain of light shoots out of Dong, looking like the same kind of chain that circle the night sky! It spirals around the Bell of Heroes and the area a couple times, before locking the place down completely! Nikolai was in the road of the chain, and as soon as it hit him, he was tossed into the circle by unknown force! The chain finished its road by going back to the Bell of Heroes and making a "lock" on it.

: "Behold! My tremendous gift from my master! The ability of locking!"

: "...Your master gifted you this amazing ability, but didn't care to change your name, 'Dong'?"

: "PaHAhahahaHAHAhaahaha!!"

: "GRGRGHRHFHHRGHFHHG FOOLISH CREATURES!! YOU ARE NOT GETTING OUT UNLESS YOU SACRIFICE TWO THINGS TO ME!! THUS IS THE WAY THE LOCK WORKS!!"

Inbetween all the shenanigans, the heroes realized that their bodies have completely stopped functioning, being locked in their position. What little they can move is their mouths and eyes, making it possible to look around and talk.



: "Heroes, listen! That is our incompetent brother, Dong. He is the Bell of Villains, and has decided to betray all of us Uniqs. He seems to have been granted the power of locking, with the special trait that the key to unlocking these chains are Sacrifices. Sacrifices are not literal, in that you do not actually lose anything from sacrificing something. What you DO with this sacrifice, is give the enemies more power! At some points in your trials, It will be necessary to Sacrifice, like it is right now. Choose wisely on what two concepts or ideas you want to give the enemies."

Yadda yadda prototyping. Sorry for out of nowhere event which doesnt update the turn counter. Normal turn and combat will resume in the next update.

[Burkhart]

"REGGIE WANTSUN TO SACRIFICEUN HIS INTELLIGENCE! REGGIE WOULDS GLADLYS SACRIFICEUN FOR HIS FRIENDS."

REGIS awaited the dumbfounded stares of his party members.

[Caellath]

Even paralyzed, Nikolai started to laugh out loud at the Bell of Villains.
: "Dude, your name is DONG. Do you have any idea of how retarded that is? Pfff! Ahahahaha!

Oh wait. How about...the idea of reasonability?"

Offer Reasonability.

: "By the way, have you ever wondered why no one likes you?"

[Evergod41]

"I don't get why everyone is laughing at his name, some people simply don't have the creativity to make proper names. Sure, it's a little dumb and there are many things better, like simply, The Bell of Villains, though that's more of a title than a name... Ooh! Here's something for ya, how about some honor!"
Offer honor

[Zako]

((Try dignity, he seems lacking in it.  ))

Turn 15, Day 1, ???










And there he goes, flying away like a bell shaped rocket.

This sure was a random encounter, wasn't it.



Meanwhile down south, shit is going down.

Queen preserves herself by backing off away from the gruesome foe with a Shift Zone.



A large series of attacks are dealt, resulting in the enemy ultimately taking 7 collective damage again!

Aidan tried to strangle and turn around the turret of one of the creatures, but Seuche beat it to death before he got there.



Aidan takes a breather.

The foes retaliate, but the turret wielding creature seems unable to even hurt the captain. She just grins with a hint of cruelty. Sadie gets another gruesome bite on her lower leg. 1 damage taken.

This update brought to you partly with Stick's magnificent text box creator. I will try discussing with him the creation of a slightly prettier text box.

[Caellath]

Nikolai watched as DONG flew away. The guy was actually so incredibly scrappy you could actually pity him; getting all worked up just for that...
: "Back to business, now that the poor idiot is gone."

Check the remaining chest, near the bell.
: "Hey Cora. Here, so you can keep away from the frontlines. We could use some ranged help, now to wonder how we can get the arrows...Or if it produces them somehow, I don't know how this world works."

Nikolai also tosses Cora the bow.

Edit: Go fetch the group with Bowser just in case.

"Aidan!" Sadie yelped.

She faced her enemy with an anger certainly unbecoming of a civilized being.

Action: Enraged club attack at the last Scale Thrasher!

Queen saw a vital mistake that many of her men had made before. That look in Sadie's eyes... affection was a powerful motivator but also a deadly one.

: "Ach, no, don't do that, Sadie!" Queen perked up suddenly, her speech quirks temporarily disappearing. "Listen: you're more important to him alive than dead. I can tell you're on your last legs!"

Sadie moved up towards the remaining Scale Thrasher and readied herself for a full-on unarmed strike against it.

: "Follow my instructions: the foe will target me instead. You shift towards the back and then flee out of the battle!" She pointed towards the Magi Zone. "Momentarily, if the battle hasn't been won, you'll be able to come in charging and surprise the foe!"

[Dwarmin]

"Aidan!" Sadie yelped.

She faced her enemy with an anger certainly unbecoming of a civilized being.

...

Then, Sadie heard someone speaking behind her with a voice of authority and command. Queen? She blinked.

Her Instincts sparred with her Logic. Queen was right. But they hurt Aidan! You're no use to him dead! But what if he dies because I run? He'll be alright. You can trust your friends. ...Can I?

Sadie calmed down a bit. She needed to use intellect here.
 
Action: Club attack at the last Scale Thrasher and Shift back to Magi Zone! If not possible without being hit, just shift back.

OOC: Dex/I think I can do this, right? Attack, then shift back with Queen taking my place without being hit in the meantime? I believe I saw Aidan do this on the first fight.

[Fortis]

"Losers? This from a puny bell named Dong? Ha!" Bowser barked as the bell blasted off. He didn't quite follow the whole 'sacrifice' thing, but the others handled it well enough. And if their foes started showing more reasonability and honor, well, that would just work in his favor if he managed to make minions out of a few of them.

"Now, like I said before I was so rudely interrupted. I'm gonna find the other group and bring them up to speed." Bowser said, as he began walking back down towards the southern group.

"Hey cube thing. Wake up. Got a question for ya," Bowser said to Uniq as he walked. "You talked a lot about how magic worked in this place, how it's converted to energy and such. But you said it could work by doing what we did in our original words. First, does that include my fire breath? Nothing but smoke happened when I tried it here. Second, what about power stars? At home, I could do stuff, might be called magic, if I had stars. Summoning boos, making dry-bones, transforming people, that kind of thing. There any power stars here, or another source of power I can use to do that stuff?"

[Burkhart]

"WELLS, THATS WAS KINDAS STUPIDUN. ANYWAYS LETSUN FINDS OUT WHATS THIS BELLS DOESUN."

Upon seeing Bowser try to leave again, REGIS once again grabs him by the edge of his shell behind his neck.

"OI, TURTLEUN, LEAVES THE CUBES IFFUN YOUSE GONNA WANDER OFF. REGGIE KEEPUN GOOD WATCH OVERS ITS. REGGIE'S BUILT FOR DA PROTECTUN."

REGIS then tried to activate the colorful bell.
