The action continues! Stick with us, folks!Try shooting Crimson again.

[Angel Knowledge 6-1]
Angel perfectly calculates Crimson's theoretical position based off of his speed, angle of trajectory, wind-speed, force of gravity and theoretical rate of rotation of this planet. She brings up the blowgun and shoots off an orb of sinister energy!....that is swallowed up by the fog gate. Hmm. No screams of pain or anything. No new weapon, either. Somehow, the projectile was not received by its target. Perhaps that fog gate blocks projectiles?
Well, if Angel wanted a piece of Crimson, she's gonna have to go to him personally! I really want to see what that blowgun of her's can do! Its gonna blow for whoever's hit by it, that's for sure! Watch the igloo entrance. If anyone comes near my igloo, whip up a nasty batch of scalding steam, bash their head in, and chew their arm. Drag them inside so that which igloo is still obscured.
"Hellooo? Anybody here?"
Call out to see if anybody is around. Coulda sworn I saw that gnoll run through here. Test out the bone shooting again by aiming at a snowman, or maybe an igloo, but don't go near the igloos. Defend my self with bone control/shooting powers if attacked.

Jase looks around seeing if there's anything interesting to shoot a bone at. There are a four igloos in view, but you don't see any snowman within a reasonable distance. Well, why not the igloo closest then? Jase concentrates and FLEXES! Something seems wrong...Perhaps you flexed in poor form? You ponder this as you stare at this half ejected bone hanging out of your arm. Meanwhile, in a SUPAH SECRET IGLOO. Grrrrr waits for the intruder that doesn't come.
Ouch! Misfire! Jase...doesn't seem to have quite the grip yet. Meanwhile, I think Grrrr is keeping vigil over the snowman he so brutally murdered. What's the point of snowmen anyway? They all melt eventually! Its fun! Yeah!Acheivement!-I See What You Did There!-Identify a reference!
ITEM GET!- A COOKIE As Jase stares at his wrist, a small rift opens up and deposits a glowing cookie into his open, normal hand. Oooo, you have a general sense of what this would do...
Lucky! He now has baked goods! Don't cha all love cookies?Get to the center of the area and try to experiment with my new 'companion'.
In a moment of respite, Crimson carefully hops along the floating rocks towards the large yin-yang platform. As he stands there, he tries to communicate with the thing in that glove. The eye opens up and glares at him. That low voice resonates again.
Human. You seem to want to communicate with me.... We are now bonded together. You order. I kill. I consume. the eye vanishes for a moment before reappearing on a newly formed unsettling barbed tentacle.
Understand? It quickly retracts into the glove as you turn around and notice a portal open before you...and an armored fella materializes.
NPC APPEARS: Generic Knight!By the heavens, what do you mean I will di.... IMPOSSIBLE. Where am I. Who are you? Are you friend? Or are you foe?He wearily holds onto the pommel of what might be a sheathed sword.
Is..Is this my punishment...?Making friends with googly eyed meat? I don't think they have much choice in the matter. Hah! Reminds me of the time we were stuck in Cabo with that tax accountant! Speaking of tax accountants, another fella has decided to join us!do stuff and defend self if necessary
[Pariah Knowledge 2]
Pariah quickly losing interest in the golem decides head back where he came, and ends up back in the nexus. Now then, where did that gnoll go? Ah yes, that way! The lizardman heads towards the fog gate and enters the snow filled landscape. Other than the man holding the cookie, there's no sign of the gnoll anywhere. Think! Think! Where could he possibly go?
It seems as if Pariah is looking for the gnoll? But how would he know where to look? He never saw him after Grrrr left the Nexus. What a conundrum for the lizardman!Go south.

Yumibo walks deeper into this grid when, suddenly, a screen appears out of the floor. It's a console of some sort. Four choices appear on the screen
>Debug
>Load Program
>Training
>ExitIts waiting for your input....
Um. Is he supposed to find that? I don't see it anywhere in my notes...maybe its all part of the plan, see?Rock look at the dead guy before walking past Derm and toward the boat
Muscle sounds nice at the moment.
GRANTED! At that moment, the bad undergoes some rapid changes as the wood is criss-crossed by numerous red glowing fissures. Derm picks it up in his right hand when all of a sudden his right arm expands very rapidly, giving that one arm the physique of an bodybuilder. The rest of his body remain rather puny, leaving him looking kinda asymmetric.

Derm is, apparently, slower than a rock as....Rock looks at the blood pile that was once a mafioso. The golem starts thudding his way ever so slowly to the boat. With the golem's back exposed, the Nefarious Derm shoots out some tendrils at Rock, hellbent on turning him into another messily pile of goo! Rock notices the tendrils and sidesteps them!
Derm's looking kinda cool over there! PUMPING IRON!!! PACKING HEAT! What! Somehow Derm's blood tendril's missed! Missed an almost IMMOBILE target! Can't melt them all at once, i guess. Bad luck for Derm, I wonder how Rocky will respond.STATUS
