With groans and aching bodies, the ten people begin picking themselves up off the floor. One in particular does so in an incredibly awesome manner. In fact, his ascent is so awesome as to cause everyone to momentarily pause and stare at Ivanor's sheer awesome as it starts to warp the fabric of space-time itself!
Then they notice he's wearing a cheese-stained wifebeater and no underpants, and the effect is ruined.
The various people start thinking. Frederick the Seventh, King of Denmark, states that it is obvious they are meant to use the supplies in this room, and several of you begin searching the room for suitable armor and weapons.
Left in the center of the room are Ivanor, who seems to be crying a little, as well as the Great Bambini, Alfie and Kin, who seem to be getting their bearings for some magic. And Lowpolygon. Who just... Sits there. And stares. At the ceiling.
Kin is frustrated by the fact that he does not have any of his magical matériels. Surely he should have some parchment or something? With a sigh, he starts exploring the area, deciding he should at least make use of what he can find in this room.
As he walks between the racks, grabbing a bow and some arrows, he spots Frederick. He is holding a sharp-looking sword and pulling some armor off a rack when Hans-Hans comes up to him, smiling, and says "Ah, thank you very much! I was just looking for that!", and promptly punches Frederick in the guts, grabs his armor and weapon and promptly runs away laughing.
In the meantime, Lord Teanscones, Alessandro 'Di Antony and Mr. Erich went the other way in search for more elegant weapons, suitable for cultured gentlemen as opposed to those foreign mongrels' rubbish.
Lord Teanscones finds himself a suit of field plate and a large claymore, fit for a knight. Unfortunately, there are no horses in the room and he promptly beamoans this unfortunate fact. Alessandro looks for, and finds, some leather armor, a well-made rapier and a hat.
But to call it a hat would be an insult. It is no mere hat, it is a headdress. It is a headdress to end all headdresses. It is big. It is floppy. It is red. It has a feather. It'll block your vision if you put it on and be more of a detriment than anything, but you really can't argue with such a magnificent headdress.
He puts it on without a second thought, of course.
Mr. Erich, being a modest man, contents himself with a rattling cane and a thick, navy blue cape and leaves it at that.
Back in the center, Lowpolygon continues staring at the ceiling. Around him, Alfie and the Great Bambini have finished their preparations and begin their invocations. Since neither of them had any magical apparati with which to work their summoning spells, Alfie decided to start small. Using the natural hexagonal pattern on the cobblestones and an invocations, he summons a vile beast, feared by honest farmers all around the world: A mouse!
It scurries around a bit.
The Great Bambini, on the other hand, has more ambitious ideas. Despite being bereft of any devices or raw materials, he still has himself. With a couple of gutteral sentences and a cut on the forehead, he commands his own blood to form a nasty-looking summoning circle. As he continues his evocation, hellish flames burst from the circle, until finally in a maelstrom of hellish energies, he calls forth a daemonic familiar to serve him in every way.
It's about one foot tall and more annoying than evil. It's an imp. Still, it can both fight and make bagels with it's innate ability to generate fire.
At this moment, Lowpolygon appears to reach a revelation. With a mighty yell, he jumps into the air and kicks down a weapon rack, creating a domino chain of racks falling towards the wall. He runs along the racks with a fierce face and leaps at the ceiling, teeth bared against the cold, stony surface!
CRUNCH
The madness in his attack chips several of his teeth, in addition to the impact from hitting the ceiling. And when he falls down he lands on a sword and cuts his left calf. Ouch. As he considers the pain he is in, the ground starts rumbling! It's the cobblestones!
The cobblestones start uprooting themselves, one after another! They rush around, as the ten confused victims scurry about, trying not to catch a face full of stone, with various levels of success.
Hans-Hans simply bats them away with his freshly-acquired sword, while Alfie blasts the cobblestones near him into pieces with the leftover magical energies from his summoning. The others just dodge them, with some like Frederick the seventh having a few close calls. Lord Teanscones and Lowpolygon, however, are unable to dodge them, due to heavy armor and lying on his back bleeding respectively. Lord Teanscones Fordinner's armor is dented and he is knocked down, but he is not injured. Lowepolygon, on the other hand, just gets knocked beneath some armor when the cobblestones start rising from beneath the collapsed racks.
You get a feeling they weren't really trying to hit you. If they had tried they could've probably killed you easily. Another thing to note is that the cobblestones have been turned over, exposing a white side with a crimson red two painted on it.
