Attempt to convince all the planars to serve you, or they will be killed.

Tear down the building.

Plane of Strangely-Appendaged Planars - First Ebbing

My first thought is about razing part of the building, but seeing as I was not able to cleave rocks on my homeplane, I somehow doubt this one would be much different. Still, I stretch out my Cleaver and cleave at it hardly - with not much success. The Planars stop for a moment at this action, but that is all. -3 Energy

As my luck would have it, the Planar that I would have singled out as their leader is among those seven. Speaking to all of them timely would be impossible, so convincing him should work. I work my Voice of Reason on him, mostly relying on threats of all kinds. I am still not sure if they understand me completely, but it seems to have worked - or he got the threat and violence part. One of his appendages snaps up, and their common noise errupts from him. The others seem to stop at this, but they still seem rather.. twitchy. -2 Energy, -4 Strength

They all seem to call out now, and suddenly some of them are hitting each other with their appendages - not their weapons, but good enough. There seem to be two sides, albeit this style of combat is still apalling to me. Very so, but good enough. After some short but fine bouts, one of them lies on the floor, seeping energy, another one has retreated further into the room and the third just cowers on the ground, clutching his body. The side of the leader has gained the upper hand, and he rests his weapon on the ground.

Well, that looks somewhat promising. At least to me.

Plane of Strangely-Appendaged Planars - First Ebbing

Yes, this is going far too good for me. Besides, none of the planars has yet to loose a significant amount of Energy - well, the one I cleaved and arm off is another story, but that is not my problem. Or anybody else`s but his. I stare at their leader exceptionally fierce, resulting in a brighter glow from my visual mounds. "Don`t try anything funny now, Planar", is what I also send his way for good measure - and indeed, he seemed to be up to something, as he now grabs his weapon again and backs a bit away.

Good call I made there, crisis adverted. My mounds also detect three more shapes mingling themselves towards the leader - it seems they finally are breaking free of my deception. Come to think of it, their deceptions are very one-sided and weak, and they themselves seem suspectible to it. This should prove usefull - unless they have only portrayed themselves to be such weaklings, but then they are taking their roles pretty far. Wich would account for their leader being quite the thing. Well, this is only something to consider, as I usually do.

What now thou?

Jump!!!

[escaped lurker]

Plane of Strangely-Appendaged Planars - First Ebbing

As they are starting to grunt among themselves - It seems to me that they are either are incabable or unwilling to communicate otherwise - I decide that the attention should rightfully belong to me, and make a little jump. This worked, and now all their mounds are staring in my direction - sadly, so do the tips of their weapons. Their grunting has lessened thou, and alone that bit of relief seems worth this little derailment to me.

Gathering some concentration, I let loose a shout. Well, or what would count as such - wich is relaying a message to multiple indidivuals. Not my favorite, and I hardly have seen as many beings gathered as there are here at the moment, but it should produce results.

"What do you want of me, Planars" - Yeah, I will not win anything about creativity with that one, but I think being straightforward might be better, Planar-Barrier and all. This seems to have worked, as there is great movement and sound to be heard from the Planars that I was able to reach. The majority, by the looks of it. The weapons are lowered a bit, and their Leader steps forth once more. Problem is that I don`t understand what he is trying to tell me in his vocal language - I do tell him as much, and after a brief stop in grunting, he wanders inside for a moment.

His new efforts include some beige stretch of material, a whiteish ornamented object and black liquid. These Planars sure are.. different. I do tell him that - before I would even think of serving them - they would need to loose the restrictions on drifting on the area, but the Planar just makes another weird movement with it`s appendage. I reinforce my notion, but he still does not seem like he wants to return to drifting himself. At least they seem to move around far less than before, but I wonder how to further this situation in my Interest.

That.. went well. Actually, suspiciously so...

Rest and recover.

Put effort towards understanding their language. Not knowing what they are saying is a serious disadvantage.

Plane of Strangely-Appendaged Planars - First Ebbing

Considering the current situation to be amiably enough, getting at least my strength back sounds like a good idea to me. As devouring the appendage for the sake of energy did misfire, I am a bit at unease about my supplies for those matters, but I am sure something will present itself in due time. These Planars need to get their energy by some means, and I will get behind it soon enough - well, or that would at least be my plan.

So in the meantime I pull my cleavers back into their slits, making me a beautiful round shape again - minus the portruding grabbers. Those I really do not want to part with for now. Some of the planars seem to take initiative at me stowing away my only weapons of note, but their leader rebukes them soundly with some of his grunting. Talking about the sounds they make, it is quite different than what I am used to. They also seem to sound different, wich - while surely handy to keep them apart - does not help in deciffering their communication. Understanding them will be a hard piece of work, but I at least sense some kind of structure to their sounds.

Their Leader has meanwhile furthered his efforts with the black liquid and beige stretch, and it seems related to that formation they were standing in. The whole matter is most perplexing, but even asking bears no useable fruit. On the positive side of things, I was able to recover some strength while this was going on. +7 Strength

Well, now that they do not seem to bind or attack me, those planars are interesting enough, I guess. With most of my strength back, I also could try to leave this dammned circle thou..

Eat circle!

[escaped lurker]

If I had the dextery to eat a circle that is not yet known to me, I would gladly use it to escape from it altogether. Unless you mean I should eat part of it, to disrupt the formation that it represents. That is.. quite the creative thought, and while I can not discount the possiblity of it working on some planes, such abilties are not mine. Well, not that I would know off it, at least.

[Rolepgeek]

Use voice of reason to persuade them to let me out of the circle. That would let us help them better, right?

[escaped lurker]

Plane of Strangely-Appendaged Planars - First Ebbing

Deciding on a more leaderly course, I attempt to Reason with their Leader. I evaluate at length why I would be more of use to their cause - whatever one it may be - if they would lift this circle of non-floating. The planar seems to concentrate on every word of it, and shortly after beginns a new work on the beige stretch. -2 Energy, -4 Strength

It now shows the formation that I was presumedly summoned with, and a Hexagon. There are also a lot of re-appearing symbols scribbled on it, wich I will assume to be runes of magical power. That is all very nice and all, but does not solve the problem of the circle. I reason as much with the Planar, and after some time he writes down a new symbol, taps it with his appendage and makes an attempt to float. Or what damm well looks like an attempt at floating to me. Expressing my approval on his understanding, does not seem to motion them to do my bidding however.

A few drawings later - the drawings now portray what seems to be the planars on the hexagon, me on my homeplane, and me being summoned through the circle to the planars hexagon, with the addition of errased floating - I have come to the understanding that this plane is not only lawless when it comes to battling, It is also devoid of the ability to float. And it seems to be a shapely hexagon - at least symmetry seems to hold some sway here.

At least not under normal circumstances, because I sure have seen some small planars, and planars at greater distance doing so. On the Plus-side, all that lingering around has completely refilled my strength, and it seems to reason that all the planars inside the building are listening to their leader. The later might not be optimal, but as he seems to be on my side for the time being, I will count it as a good thing.

Well, it seems that those Planars are at the moment reasonable for further inquiries. Or.. I could use my current influence on their leader to make a getaway.

I am also tempted to rename it as "The Hexagonal Plane" - it seems more fitting to name a thing after itself, than something that is part of it, no?

You have "gained" the following Ability;

New to Gravity - Extraplanar - Passive
I am used to just floating around my homeplane. Gravity - or the idea of it - is very alien.

This concept of "Gravity" sits very ill with me. While these Planars might be used to it, I surely am not. Floating around is a tad slower than propelling oneself along a stable surface, but that there are planes where this would no be possible surprises me. Well, not really, but you get the idea, right? It also seems to explain why I am so slow on my crawlers...
