[The Master]

"THIS IS FUCKIN' INCREDIBLE! I DIED A CON, NOW I CAN LIVE AS A CON AGAIN! FUCK YOU GRIM, YA HEAR ME?!??!?" Carrot screams at the heavens.

[Dsarker]

"I...I don't know, my love."

[Khenal]

I quickly touch up the gouge from the knife before hiding the chest behind the door again.

"Well, at least the gouge wasn't hard to repair.  Lets see if we can find Carrot, I think he's taken to enjoying the view from the tower recently."

[Dsarker]

"Yes, my love."

Friesden follows Khenal up to the tower.

[The Master]

Ghast quickly gives Carrot back control just as Khenal and Friesden come up.
"URRRGGG!! Ah, what?" Carrot groans, confused.

[Khenal]

"Heya Carrot!  Come on, we have something to show you!"

[The Master]

"Sure..." Carrot says, feeling very ill all of sudden and turning slightly pale.

[Dsarker]

"Are you feeling alright, Carrot?" asks Friesden, with a look of concern on her face.

[Khenal]

I mirror Friesden's expression, hoping my friend isn't sick on his birthday.

[The Master]

Carrot walks very slowly up to Friesden, then his eye color shifts to white, then a deep ocean blue, before settling on pure gold.
He smiles seemingly genuinely, then punches her so hard that she sees stars. Then he speaks.

"Heh, name's Ghast. Pleas'd to mak' your acquaintance."

[Khenal]

"Friesden!"

I charge Carrot, attempting to shoulder-check him away from Friesden.

************
Also: punch?  Without a fist?   Maybe simply strike her?

[Dsarker]

Drip.

There's a sound that comes before a rockslide. Once you've heard it once, you'll never forget it. It's a small sound, and builds up into the crescendo of the landslide. It starts with the little sounds of pebbles rattling.

Drip.

It doesn't come that way with all things. Artificial objects are usually built without this handy feature inside. They rely on alarms, on bells and whistles to alert the user of danger.

Drip.

In this case, however, the sound was that of a single drop of water, falling.

Drip.



"ALL CREW TO THE EMERGENCY RELEASE VALVE, IN THE PROGENITOR'S NAME!" bellowed the construct. Unicorns were running frantically over the wall, but at the sound of the bellowed order, they organised themselves and quickmarched over to the cave. Their picks were ready, and they commenced the release. The construct was horrified. The Progenitor Himself had given him a task, and he would have to fail it. The water was at the level of the dam, and the pressure was building. Even the tiniest bit more pressure would destroy the dam and undo all the work. The only chance would be to leak out some of the water. This had been done before, and worked...the construct had only not predicted they would need to do it again so suddenly. He looked desperately out at the wall, at the dripping from there, and prayed that the Progenitor would speed their work.

[The Master]

((hoof punch, it still works. WHAM! either way.))

Carrot just dodges away like it was nothing, and then says,
"Hah! this is so much fun after being locked away playing chess for ten-thousand years! Now, down to buisness. I want to kill ya, but I'll assume you blokes want to live, dig? How's'bout this? I kill yer marefriend, then I kill you, that way ya suffer longer! Got it? GOOD!" and with that, he bites onto friesden and leaps off the tower.

((AND NO, THIS TIME IT'S REAL. be resourceful.))

[Khenal]

I leap off the tower after them to grab Friesden, then spread my wings to glide us safely to the ground.

[The Master]

Carrot has a glint in his eye that INSTANTLY makes Khenal aware of the true extent of the threat at hand. Carrot wasn't even resisting at all, the daemon was THAT powerful.
"I'VE BEEN DEAD TOO LONG TO BE THWARTED SO SOON BY A FLYING DWARVEN DOG!" Spits Ghast. He spins in the midair, hurling the three of them at the tower's base.
