((Good point Rune, but I'll just summon a new one if needed. Having an infinite amount of weaponry at your beck and call is quite useful, you see.))

"This is the end."


((EDIT:Decided to add all the new players (and put inactives at the bottom) to the TvTropes character page. Not sure what tropes apply to them though. I'm not even sure which tropes apply to my character.))

(Ron Bones. Super strength and endurance. Managed to destroy an entire city by jumping off of a really high place. Uses super drugs to give him temporary powers. Got burnt, crushed, and cut up, before finally dying by a huge grenade. Does this help for TV tropes?)

Team A

If I feel threatened or a suitable target presents itself (like that bird thing), do the thing I do and shoot the threat with the anchors, aiming to pierce it with one and constrict it with any others.

"We're supposed to kill a dragon, but then we got sidetracked," Ike explains before turning to River, having given Theri a bit of a sidelong glance. "Glad to see you're feeling better, chief. What's the next move?"

"We are here to bring a traitor of my kind to justice. I also intended for this to be a chance for you to act freely, explore and enjoy yourselves. But with the way things are now..."
He looks down.

"I know the traitor is somewhere in the kingdom east of here, but no more than that. I think my memory might have been hurt or confused...
Reaching the traitor is what concerns me the most, but I feel that leaving this place is the most important thing we should be doing right now. I do not care where we go. Nor do I know enough about this world to make a decision. To say which way is best. You can decide. Or we can start walking east."

"Theri... wanted to visit the human camps. You and Irine went there. You know more about them. Do you think you could escort her there? So that she may visit them before we leave?"

upon seeing Theri I say to her:
"Theri, are you okay? River seemed worried he'd have trouble healing you."

when River says Theri wants to visit the human camps
"I-i don't know if that's a good idea Theri. Some of them seem to hate all nonhumans, and you're wearing the clothes of one of their scouts. I think they would assume you killed them and attack you."

((I don't think heating something that is right above us to a ridiculous degree is very smart. Worst case scenario we become +metal statues+. This is a finely crafted metal statue. It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

"By 'seem to' do you mean you tried to talk to them and accidentally set some of them on fire, or they actually do hate nonhuman people?"

"By 'seem to' do you mean you tried to talk to them and accidentally set some of them on fire, or they actually do hate nonhuman people?"

"Let me elaborate: it's not nonhumans they hate - it's beastmen specifically (and also elves, but to a lesser degree). Animal people, you know. And those guys hate them plenty right back: they're apparently assholes to people in this particular universe, so there's no love lost between them and the poor bastards we blew up, especially since now would be a good time to come along and enslave any survivors. And I'd guess that either you guys murdered some scouts for those outfits or at least found some already dead ones, so they wouldn't appreciate that one bit, as Irine mentioned."

Ike thinks for a second, remembering what the master mage himself had told Irine.

"Anyway, I'm not sure there is a kingdom east of here - the guy we talked to said that eastward we can find a desert full of traders, and beyond that a set of mountains, called the Guggenheim or Google range or something like that. Northeast the desert gets less civilized and more Bedouin-infested, and southeast there's a river going eastward with a whole bunch of communities around it."

Having explained that whole thing, he speaks further.

"West, meanwhile, there are forests and bloody-minded elves with a big honking magical wall to keep people out of their enchanted forests. Northwest is full of beastmen - the people here had a whole bloody war with them and everything, and also some more mountains called the Brother or Dragon Range or something of that nature. South is where you'll find human kingdoms, and also southeast. There's some kind of huge canyon to the south if I understand correctly, too, called the Scar. Oh, and this place was some kingdom's capital, put down right next to a volcano and 'a river of liquid fire', and we went and blew it all to shit, so I expect either anarchy or a Pseudoroman crackdown in the surrounding area for some time. They're probably not gonna like the look of either River or Theri. Or Irine either, if she doesn't keep her current form."

"That's what the guy I blinded told me, anyway. Even drew a map for our benefit. Shockingly helpful even if we didn't manage to reconcile our differences in the end. So, River, any of that information ring the old memory bells? Got any ideas on what biome we're looking for at least? The surrounding area runs the gamut, so that'd be a good way to orient ourselves."

"Hmph. Humans." he comments with a hint of anger as he finishes working on his armour.

River looks at you for a few seconds, before looking down. He grabs the shirt from the ground besides him and offers it to you, although he continues not looking at you.
"Do you... want this?"

"By 'seem to' do you mean you tried to talk to them and accidentally set some of them on fire, or they actually do hate nonhuman people?"

"Let me elaborate: it's not nonhumans they hate - it's beastmen specifically (and also elves, but to a lesser degree). Animal people, you know.

((Wait, there actually is a mountain range in the west but I'm pretty sure I never mentioned it. And there's some other things you have in there that I think I never mentioned. Are you reading my mind or something? Or are you really good at deduction? Or are you merely misinterpreting what I said in a surprisingly lucky manner? Or did I mention it and I am forgetting things? Eh, anyway. Edit: Yeah, just reread that part and it was never mentioned, along with other things Ike said, some of which are outright wrong or at least misleading. Oh well.))

"I..." he closes his eyes with a strained expression and puts his hands on his head.
"Grrrrgh." he growls angrily.
"I... I..."
He removes his hands from his head, takes a few seconds to relax and then looks at you.
"I am sorry. I can not remember more. Maybe... Maybe if I have time to rest. To fully recover what I lost. Maybe it will be better."
"You are my companions. You can choose whatever you wish. As long as it is away from here. I trust you. Whatever we face, we can deal with it."
