Joy feels that maybe giving the guy an Indian burn may have been going a bit too far.
"Um, sorry, little guy. I was just kinda taken with these horrible images of puppy torture that flashed through my mind. Gut reaction, you know. Sorry. However, I'm pretty sure something... really evil is really close by."
Clear head. Try to ascertain the position of this nearby evil.
[adept=5] Oh god it's right next to you! Maybe it's possesed Terry, dear god what will we do?!

((I LOVE that the evil is me in this ))
"Umm...right....I'm gonna go stand over there now."
Stand away from the indian burner
You see joy looking at you as you were possesed. You wisely go stand a few steps away from her.
" Well congratulations, you've finally managed to work out what I discovered an hour ago and dug us an entrance into. I'm so impressed your magical skills are almost as effective as my common sense.
Now, ME FIRST!!!! "
Go through my new hole and look around, keep axe and hammer in hand.
You crawl through the hole and exit on the other side. Its dark, so you shine your flashlight around. It seems you're standing at the top of a staircase, made of old and worn stones. You look behind you and see that the wall once probably belonged to a large structure. In front of you lies a very peculiar sight. You're standing in a giant cavern, the weak light from the flashlight doesn't show you exacly how big it is, and there's an entire town here. Everything is quiet, save for the occasional creaking of rotten wood.
Message Morgan that we found a underground city and are preparing to explore. Also describe Shaky and ask if he was a vampire/what the black lines were.
Hey Morgan, it's Terry, the guy you intimidated a few 250 years back into following you? Fun times. Anywho, we found an underground complex of sorts, maybe there will be treasure!
We also had to murder and old man, because he came limping up to us and screamed with his mouth hanging all the way to his chest, attached by living black string, what the fuck is up with that, eh? do you think he was a vampire?
Love-Terry
You press send, and the little device jingles. Hopefully Morgan isn't too busy.
Lilia suffers through the bickering in silence, glad that Harvey's attention was temporarily diverted away from her. To say that Lilia was disappointed by the lack of tunnels was a understatement; Harvey's small hole was not appealing at all.
Using the same trick to look for large tunnels, Lilia tries to explore the small hole a bit with her floating flashlight. The other alternative would have most likely been her crawling through there, and she didn't want to try that at all. Skittering bugs and slithering reptiles were just as disgusting as oddly-acting vampires.
Adept=1+1 You send the flashlight through the hole, but lose your concentration when Terry's PDA jingles. You drop the flashlight, and can hear it tumbling down the stairs, the sound being exceptionally loud in the otherwise quiet cave.
Eleanor sighed slightly as her two companions began to argue, it didn't really seem like the time or the place they could be attacked at any moment. She eyed the hole in the wall wondering what on earth could be inside, probably nothing pleasant but it seemed like it was the only way forward for now.
Reluctantly she followed Harvey into the hole
YOu follow Harvey through and also come face to face with the sight of the ghost town. creepy.
Q&A time with uncle Pancaek!((So when do we get these points? After a mission Einsteinian Roulette Style?))
((Exactly, you'll get points to spend after each mission and perhaps after very difficult battles or other special events, if I feel I need to balance the scales somewhat.))
(( I'd guess so just like in mission based video games. You spend time between missions using your points and money and stuff but this does raise a question I'd forgotten.
Does the base have a shop or something for us to buy equipment or is that all done through the guy who gave me the Hatchet. ))
((The base does not have a shop, but we do have Morgan who may be able to requisition some standard equipment. Your main way to get gear is to find it in the field, or to bring magical artifacts to Invuss and strange parts/weapons/whataver to Veronica. They might hook you up with something nice in exchange for those. Also, We will have a definate ending to this rtd at some point. As such, and for reasons I can't mention right here, we won't have a shop or money system.))
((If you have any questions, feel free to PM, email, or write them right here if you don't mind wall of text updates))
