[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark, having nothing better to do, asks the persistent figment some more questions.

~Can you lift the darkness spell, please?~

~Ah, but there is no darkness spell to lift. You are blind and plunging into the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness with no hope of ever getting out. Speaking of getting out, I really should be going. There's a party going on nearby and I, suave fellow that I am, absolutely must crash it. Cheerio!~

The voice disappears from Mark's mind. Well, crap.

[killerhellhound]

pray to the gods for help then if they dont or carnt help try to fly with will power
(it worked before)

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark tries to pray to the gods! Maybe Rysinia will help him out, you never know.

[Prayer roll: 2]

Doesn't look like gods are likely to help him any. Not sure how they could, either. Ah well. Time to break the laws of physics the easy way. Mark strains his willpower and his suspension of disbelief to fly, fly like an eagle!

Needless to say, this doesn't work. Dang it all.

~Hiya! Whatcha doin' there, man?~

And now somebody else is accosting him. Excellent.

[killerhellhound]

~what does it look like? no offence but I cant see a thing~

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark, still falling in darkness, just keeps on talking to voices in his head.

~What does it look like? No offense, but I can't see a thing.~

~You ain't missin' anything. They don't call it the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness for nothin'.~

~Oh.~

~We mostly use our own special senses here. D'you have any special senses to use?~

~Uh...~

~Di'n't think so. I could unlock one for ya. Just one, ya know. No need to go too fast an' all.~

[killerhellhound]

~I just broke out of a magic dream using just my own willpower I'll be find with anything you do~
~by the way what kind of senses do you mind and how do you unlock them~

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark shrugs both physically and mentally at the unreality of it all.

~I just broke out of a magic dream using just my own willpower, I'll be fine with anything you do.~

~Great! You'll love it. It's absolutely amazing, operatin' on fifteen senses at once.~

~By the way what kind of senses do you have in mind, and how do you unlock them?~

~Well, it's a tad hard decribin' em', since some of 'em are extratemporal or extradimensional and stuff. The one easiest to get is kinda like clairvoyance, seein' with your soul and stuff. Very helpful. Don't need eyes or even a head for it. Or even a body. It's kinda like when you're dead and you see stuff around you, except it gets activated while you're alive. Pretty simple, really, though ya need someone with knowledge of it to do that. The extradimensional and extratemporal ones require... perspective, let's say. Ya gotta know what's there to know what it's like to see it and then learn to see it, ya know?~

~What now, then?~

~Now we get to unlockin' your soul-o-vision!~

[Mark will roll: 4]

For a searing instant, Mark feels that his body has been torn into billions of pieces and scattered to the winds, then put back together the next instant! Good gods, that was unpleasant. On the bright side, though, he can now see! Sort of, you know. It's a bit weird - it's like his original sight, except he can see everything around him in a full 360 degree angle. And though there really isn't much to see, considering that this is the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness he does notice something in the infinite darkness all around - tiny glowing points like stars in the distance, moving about and seemingly having a good time.

~It worked, di'n't it? Nothin' like bein' disintegrated, killed and put back together before your soul can escape to awaken new horizons, eh?~

[killerhellhound]

~done it myself I'm undead but I dont know what happened while I was fully dead~
~so what is being dead like and do you know any way to get out of this hole~

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark can't help but agree with the voice.

~Done it myself. I'm undead, but I don't know what happened while I was fully dead.~

~Well, ya see, there's a reason for that. Really, really dyin' is a bit of an interestin' experience. If you actually pass into the beyond, it's apparently otherworldly enough for it to be totally incompatible with yer mind. So it just doesn't register properly.~

~So what is being dead like?~

~Unfairly vague and vaguely unfair, since you don't actually experience it. Instead it's like ya've been thrown into an infinite mass o' info ya can't process. And when ya do eventually gain the ability to process it, ya've moved so far beyond what made ya a livin' creature that ya really have nothin' in common with the world. To them, the world is too alien to understand anymore, so they can't be called back by any mortal or immortal.~

~Ah. Do you know any way to get out of this hole?~

~Oh, to be sure. I can explode ya and catch yer escaping soul by reformin' your body around it topside. It's a bit dangerous, since I could miss and then yer soul would go to the beyond and stuff. My help'd be free, but ya could also look fer a safer alternative, like makin' a pact with someone around. It'll cost ya, though.~

[killerhellhound]

~with my luck I would reform as a dragon but I think I look around a bit first never know when luck will run out~
look around for any thing that could help me

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark realizes that something should really be done now.

~With my luck, I would reform as a dragon, but I think I'll look around a bit first. Never know when luck will run out.~

~Words to live by, words to live by.~

Mark is about to look for something that could help him, but he notices that he seems to have gathered quite a crowd.

~Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear you were looking for an exit.~

~Indeed, we couldn't help it.~

~So here we were thinking, if the three of us concentrated hard enough, we could get you out, no sweat.~

~Yeah. No risk on your part.~

~But you'll have to compensate us.~

~20 souls sacrificed to each of us within a month of your release and we won't pull you right back in.~

~20 souls in each of our names.~

~Detailed in the contract, all three of them and the rites to be performed.~

~You'll find it on you when you get out.~

~It's completely safe, and you'll find it to be worth the expense.~

[killerhellhound]

With the track reacord of the other guys Ill be dead before half a month
~mmm how about 50 souls shared between you and do I get some sort of magic soul sucking device to trap kills or have to take living captives~

[Tomcost]

((Ask what kind of souls they want, you could just pay them in squirrel souls if you are lucky))

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark, clearly not died yesterday, tries to argue with the three voices.

~Mmm, how about 50 souls shared between you?~

~Nope, it has to be 20 for each. It's a necessary number, and we can go no lower.~

~Yes, no lower.~

~Do I get some sort of magic soul sucking device to trap kills or have to take living captives?~

~Living captives, definitely.~

~Otherwise, no rites will be possible. If we could give you such a device, there would be no need for the rites.~

~So you have to clonk 60 people on the head and make sure they're unconscious for long enough to properly remove their souls and send them to us.~

~If they were awake, it would be far more difficult.~

[kahn1234]

personally i'd take the light blue guys offer.
