Though Anthramarux longed for the power, there wasn't much point in getting blasted...experimentation time! Why not use a test subject?
Anthramarux tries to catch a live insect, rat or bat and toss it at one of the power stones-keeping at a nice distance of course. Observe the effects closely.
You catch a rat, and throw it at one of the power-stones. [Agi:5-1]: It lands perfectly on a [Life] green crystal. Initially, it has no effect.
However, you soon notice the rat bloating. It's cells are growing much faster and not dying. Soon, it explodes. That's... unpleasant. Very, very unpleasant!
Also, you have a feeling you want to do it again, FOR SCIENCE!Try and figure out what the splitting feeling is. if it seems like a really bad idea at some point, dash for the silver instead!
After waiting a few seconds, you feel your very
conscience and
soul slowly drifting apart. Not something healthy.
So, you run for the silver. What you find is... lots and lots of silver items and coins.
Ask sister if the men are still here
Retort ask where Nelar was during this whole thing.
"Sister, are the men still here?" Nelar asks.
"No... what were you doing...
out there?" Scientia retorts.
A silence holds over the room.
Kin suddenly realized his mistake. In the heat of the battle he had been thinking of bringing the whole carcass with him to show his father, but his father did state that Kin only needed to bring back a bit of hide. "But then again," Kin thought, "if I were to bring me the whole body father would surely be more proud than just a bit of hide?" And with that, Kin started to drag the heavy load back home again.
Even though it was heavier Kin kept dragging the dead bear home. He was going to make his father really proud.
[Str:3]: You struggle to drag the corpse home, up the hill. You groan in pain as the large corpse proves a very serious test of your strength. Ultimately, you only manage to drag it a little further. [Tou:6] Thankfully your body can take this stress for now.
You pant for a minute. This is proving to be rather stressful.
+1 Toughness.
Semakhet nodded politely, absorbing in the information. She was about to ask him to continue, but saw the man was quite tired.
'I should let you rest.' she said. 'I've been practicing flying a bit. Would you like to see?'
Try to fly a bit, jumping from places where there's only a short fall to the ground
"Sure, if you say so."
Hearing your friend say so, you start flapping your wings and [Agi:4] fly like a... errr... dragon?
Broma chuckles at the act, and you slowly descent back to the ground.
+1 Agility.
Oh yeah wtf am I talking about, I breathe energy
Oh well. Head off to explore somewhere else, and let Father take care of the scary man.
((Vague action))
Completely unphased by the almost blatantly obviously important person of importantness, you head off to explore... the outside.
There's a brook, a hill, a bunch of trees... rocks, yeah all sorts of stuff, all of it is unexciting and you'll have to examine them more closely in order to find anything interesting.
Father stays inside the cave. Maybe you should inform him that it's safe now?
The man falls to the ground and stops moving. You have a feeling; this time it's final.
Investigate the Stone Room. Something that incredibly boring can't be, in actuality, incredibly boring.
You decide to go into the stone room.
After... five minutes of intense searching, you realize that you're an idiot and this room is JUST A FREAKING STONE ROOM FOR GOD'S SAKE. There's no ninjas hiding in here or anything, there's just rocks, rocks, and more rocks.
Attempt to catch mothers attention, to see if she can do anything about the bleeding. IF that fails, attempt to cauterize my wounds using the (probably) tiny amount of lightning I can produce by lighting a piece of wood on fire and holding my bleeding claws over it. Somehow.
You talk to mother, and she looks at you, still sad from father's death. She tries to think about how to help you, [Mother Int:1] but her tears are preventing her from doing so.
So, you decide to set a branch on fire. [Luck:6] It burns with a hot flame. A little too hot... you may want to move it before it sets fire to the grass you didn't see that was right next to it. Regardless, you attempt to cauterize your wounds. [Tou:1] You not only cauterize your wounds, but you burn your hands badly and they hurt bad. Man your body sucks. Ummm... there's a decent risk of... err... infection now... That's not good.
At the very least, your bleeding stopped.
