((Considering that at this point you're kinda the team leader, I don't doubt you'll get something like that.))

[Comrade P.]

((Considering that at this point you're kinda the team leader, I don't doubt you'll get something like that.))

((Granted John lives long enough. That Salthe encounter was close. A 6 and faith of everyone around, that's what saved him, even if John doesn't really understood the faith part of his sudden luck.

The FAITH John has himself, comes from the fact that he sort of realises this is his afterlife. He believes that since there is an afterlife for him, he will now ride eternal, taking many forms as his previous ones are destroyed. As long as he is on the road, his is alive, that's what he believes in.))

[piecewise]

"See, friend, that's the way you do it. Probably less practical than just picking it up, but for an armless man I suppose you don't have many alternatives?"

That done, fly down and check the ruins out more closely.

You flap around. It's hard to tell at night like this, but the ruins appear to have collapsed simply from age rather then any sort of violence. They also seem incomplete, that is to say you can't tell what they originally were. There are no nice foundations for homes, and the stone pillars are so large yet seem to lack anything to hold up. There's no collapsed stone roof or higher levels, just a bunch of fallen pillars, almost henge like in their distribution.

"Aaaaahhh yeahhh thass the stufffzzzzz..."

- Brilliant. Drunkard dino.

Now what that glass ball is supposed to be? Is it a person?

Go check Egan out. Pick him up and look at the brain encapsulated. Give the orb a few gentle shakes, like if it was a giant snowglobe.

I don't know what that would do, honestly.

Xankarvo doesn't react to Mr. Bird's statement or really acknowledge him outwardly.

Note to self, choke bird to death later. See how he likes it when other people abuse telekinesis to his disadvantage.

Fuckit then, light the damn thing on fire!

With my mind. My currently blazing anger should help.

[4]
No fire. No real obvious effect, actually.

Don't let the strange man pick me up. Shouldn't be hard, considering he does not currently have legs.

HurHuum hovers onto the "ship" along with a pencil and notepad.
"Hmm."

You can hover and pick things up without limbs? That should prove useful.

Be prepared for rolls to pick up anything heavier than a few pounds.

"Aaaaahhh yeahhh thass the stufffzzzzz..."

"Hey, keep your grubby soolnds out of the booze! Greedy animal."

Confiscate the dino's booze.

You take the bottle away from the dino. It's pretty easy since the thing has no arms or hands. Come to think of it, how did he even get the bottle open? Hmm.

"Eeeeeh it's good... I'll have more later.  Can't drink it aaaaalll at oncccceee, eh?"

Enjoy the liquor-induced stupor.

You're feeling just stupor, thanks for asking.

[Comrade P.]

- Alright then. Let's see... dino's drunk, this glass one doesn't talk... Rocky, roll over here, will ya? Tell me, you and these fellas, how did you get to those ruins where we found you? You know anything about these part of world?

I'd bet my last money that he doesn't.

[Xantalos]

Hmm. Does it seem to be hot at all? Heated or summat?

In any case, try once more.

((Just so y'all know I'm without internet at my house for 5 days so I'll be a little sparse with actual posts until then. I should be able to get actions in, there's wifi at work, but until then.))

[Egan_BW]

HurHuum floats beside John and shows him a worn page from its notebook.
"Hmm?"

Hello
What are you?/called

[Harry Baldman]

Fly back up to the warbeast's back.

"Right, chaps, seems like these here ruins are bloody useless in every possible way. Let's be moving on?"

[Toaster]

"Uhhhh... mostly just graassss here.  Pretty tasty, though ssssometimes it ww-wuh-whispers."


Enjoy the long-lost feeling of drunkenness.

[Comrade P.]

HurHuum floats beside John and shows him a worn page from its notebook.
"Hmm?"

Hello
What are you?/called

- So you can do that, huh? Good enough. I'm John, the driver for this outfit.

"Right, chaps, seems like these here ruins are bloody useless in every possible way. Let's be moving on?"

- If you say so...

"Uhhhh... mostly just graassss here.  Pretty tasty, though ssssometimes it ww-wuh-whispers."

- Yep. Definitely moving on. Anything else seem finicky to you about that place?

Get back to command chair, sit there with rifle on my lap and keep watch for now while the Warbeast marches on. Not running, like on our way here, just walking by at its cruising speed.

Also: we have these boxes for rifle bullets. Are they made of tin or zinc or something like that?

[Toaster]

"No drink heeere, soooo sure, move on!  Woo!  Waaaaait... how do y-you leave?"

[Comrade P.]

- This big fella you're standing on, Warbeast we call it, obeys commands of our Engine Spirit, and we communicate with it...

Warbeast starts walking again, and John continues:

- We walk away in 20-feet steps.

[fillipk]

Examine the room Im in, any chance I could fall off the warbeast in this room?

[Toaster]

- This big fella you're standing on, Warbeast we call it, obeys commands of our Engine Spirit, and we communicate with it...

Warbeast starts walking again, and John continues:

- We walk away in 20-feet steps.

"Howja get here anyway?"

[Egan_BW]

HurHuum floats beside John and shows him a worn page from its notebook.
"Hmm?"

Hello
What are you?/called

- So you can do that, huh? Good enough. I'm John, the driver for this outfit.

HurHuum makes a cheerful sound before returning to its notepad.

What happened to your legs?
other man's arms

[Comrade P.]

"Howja get here anyway?"

- I'll tell you that when you'll be in condition to remember it.

What happened to your legs?
other man's arms

- Lost them in a fight. That guy, in two fights, a hand in each. We sort of fled from the first fight, the enemy was too tough. The second fight, we were victorious, but it still costed us some. They paid for everything they took in full, be sure of that.
