*Stops CPR on thread*
*Passes out from exhaustion*

[Ottofar]

Yaaay! Seriously, this is probably my favorite thread o'er here.

>Talk to yourself in a hushed tone to see if you can still speak correctly.

You attempt to say a few random phrases to yourself. However, instead of the words coming out, your mouth says somthing different. You are speaking some unknown language, harsh and ancient. Even you can feel the power within the words.

>Head bravely outside, making sure you don't go any farther than opening the door however.

Before you do so, you hear a large deep thump somewhere distant within the complex, and a few moments later the far end of the library explodes in a ball of flame and books. The force topples you backwards, and all the while you hear more bangs in other places. A group of men clad in black leather rush in, swords drawn and screaming. They seem rather scrawny, and none of them seem to have had extensive military training.


What do you do?



((Do you want me to illustrate in ASCII again, btw? I can do so, but you'll get fewer updates...))

((Also, I'm stopping with the eldritch symbols in the Status as it's causing lag for some peeps. You can just pretend they're there.))

 I thought we were attempting to act like an angel? Thus aiming for peaceful solutions to the problem.

we are a vengeful angel.

[Nivim]

The tenants of The One will probably determine that.

Yes, and OMG, I told you something was going to happen and we'd lose some of these books of knowledge, YES!  At least try to "will" the fire out of existence and the brigands to stop.

Weell, actually, the restricted room is pretty much unscathed and is located in the other end of the library. You are there too.

Oh, I guess I read wrong.  I thought the library opened up as you were walking out, not before. Continue on...

You are outside the room, but the room has not been touched by the blast. So you can till walk in and retrieve the books. The restricted section is a room within the library: a room in a room.

> Use this new language to your advantage and call the brigands to halt. Conjure emotions of righteousness and justice as you do so, impart them into the words.

You speak to the brigands using your new voice, letting the words take control. The brigands scream and clutch their heads, as if in great pain. As you do this however, you begin to notice shadows and strange fleeting shapes, at the edges of your vision, and an unpleasant sensation.  But you persevere, and the brigands drop to the floor writhing as you continue to chant. And in a great last spasm, they go pale and blood spurts out from their ears, eyes and mouth. The shadows at the edge of your vision become clearer, showing glimpses of horrible shapes as you continue, and the world seems to become a little darker and colder. Eventually they stop twitching.

You chant to the flames now, turning them blue and snuffing them out.
