We don't have to use him as a mount.  There's not a better pet to have, though...  MANTIS SHRIMP!! MANTIS SHRIMP!!

It seems we can't get around it then. Be sure to leave the "Failure" on his forehead thou - we want those bandits to know what we did and what will hit them.

That's actually a really good touch.

Turn 8

You swiftly slit the boy's throat with his own knife and let his limp body fall to the floor.  As the blood begins oozing out of his neck you begin to Manipulate the boy's body and degrade it into the base elements of which it is composed.  Reshaping it takes some time but soon enough a smaller version of the mantis shrimps present in your home plane is standing before you.  It's definitely not going to be even near as powerful as its larger brethren but it should be useful nonetheless and most likely entertaining to watch as well.  For added pleasure, you mold the boy's head onto the front of your new pet, complete with the engraved word “failure” stuck on his head.  The mouth is still open in a silent scream of terror from when you slit the kid's throat.  That almost makes you laugh but you think better considering your circumstances and manage to stay silent but with a big smirk across your face.

Fortunate for you, no one has come to investigate the screaming.  You figure if they left him like that in the sewer, they probably expected him to die anyway so they wouldn't even bother to investigate the noise had they heard it.  Your new “friend” gazes up at you... sort of... with its malformed face and lets out a little squeal before taking off ahead of you.  You don't speak mantis shrimp but your guess is that it wants you to follow.  It begins scurrying ahead and takes a sharp turn down a tunnel you hadn't even noticed before.  Following it further down, you begin to see a faint light up ahead.  The mantis shrimp is making high pitched squealing noises and appears rather excited, or maybe just hungry.  You are almost sure that a camp is up ahead and that you have found what you were looking for.  How you go about entering might be something worth consideration.

I might do a couple more updates before I start up the new game and close this one.  Kind of want a conclusion of some sort, so we'll see if we can wrap up the business with the bandits and maybe even the cultists.

Enter wearing a cloak of blackness, with a wake of flames trailing you as you enter.  See what happens.

Okay, I'm thinking this is pretty dead.  Thankful for the learning experience at any rate.

Will start up the new game eventually and probably post a link to it here.

Okay folks I just created a thread for the 4 player game.  Sorry it took so long but life gets in the way if you know what I mean.
