Wyvern

P51mus OOC: Yay! A Monty Python reference. Several of them! I'd post something more meaningful than this, but I don't really have the time right now.

Ephemeron OOC: I agree! This thread is just hilarious!

Ephemeron As they looked at this little rabbit, Ephemeron looks around and realize his sheep have scattered. "Stupid knights!", Ephemeron exclaims. He makes gestures and sounds, which brings his sheep back. Looking towards where the knights ran off to, Ephemeron makes another gesture, and his sheep run off in that direction, about to trample the knights into the dust. Meanwhile, as the heroes looked back towards the rabbit...

Zool OOC: Lol, that's the third time i'v posted the same time as someone else - this thread is TOO MUCH fun! - sorry guys

Zool Just then all the mages heard the clop-clopping of horses, and turned to see the strange site of a group of knights prancing toward them and holding their arms up as if they were holding reighns. behind each knight was a lackey clapping the halves of coconuts together. "Whoa!" said the lead knight, who had a crown on his head. The group stopped. "Hello travellors," He went on. "We are the knights of the round table, on our way to Camelot. We..." "Do you know where we could get a shrubbery?" asked one of the knights. "What's your favorite color?" asked another. "Ni!" exclaimed a third. They all looked at each other, then looked behind our group of heros and screamed. "Aaaaaaaagh!" "Run away! Run away!" yelled the lead knight, as they all broke ranks and ran for all they were worth the other way. StMicheal, Ephemeron, and Destructo looked behind them. There in the road ahead of them, sitting quietly, was a cute little white bunny rabbit.

Ephemeron OOC: Oops, sorry! You guys take the lead then. I'm not very familiar with Monty Python IC: "Wow...", Ephemeron remarks, getting up slowly. "I still have some electric charge in me from that bolt!" And he begins running about, giving each other hero a taste of electric shock.

StMichael "Ephemeron!" comes a voice from the clouds. The hills shake and trees sway with the words of God. Then the clouds part and God's face appears, glaring at the party. As God stared at our heros, they suddenly became aware of the illusionary powers of sheep. A bolt of lightning strikes Ephemeron for his naivety. Then StMichael falls on the ground, "God! You are the greatest..." God interupts, "Oh stop that, get up!" "Sorry, m'lord" "And don't apologize." "Right, sorry." "What are you doing?" "Averting my eyes Lord." "Well stop it." "Yes m'Lord, sorry" "You must find the Holy Brail!" "Holy Brail?" "Yes, so the blind may see, idiot!" God leaves. "Right!" StMichael says as Ephemeron dusts off, "Lets go!"

Destructo OOC: aww.......man i was looking forward to going to the castle Anthrax.

P51mus OOC: Just before Ephemeron's post, I thought St Michael's post was about to lead up to a Monty Python reference. Oh well.

Ephemeron All of the mages turn towards the light, but then Ephemeron turns back towards his sheep. They do not seem to notice the light. With their 100% psychic resistance, they have seen the light to be but an illusion. Ephemeron smiled, happy that he can use his sheep as a guide in this now illusion-ridden place. "That light is only an illusion guys...", Ephemeron says, lightly bonking each of the others, taking their eyes off the light. "Why don't we head up the mountain towards my castle? You guys can get some rest there" And they start off, led by the dependable sheep, towards the forest en route to the castle...

StMichael "I say we get some grub first." StMichael eyes the tiny lamb. With the knob on the back of his head begining to throb, StMichael starts to think otherwise. Looking to the East, he sees a mountain range. At the base is a huge black forest. Eary sounds can be heard coming from it though it is miles away. The peaks are not visible as clouds crown the mountains. Snow is constantly falling from the clouds. Suddenly there is a golden light above the mountains. It takes the shape of the Holy Grail...

Destructo "Well i`m for an adventure into the mountains, how bout you wyvern?"

Ephemeron As StMichael awakens, Wyvern and Destructo turn towards Ephemeron and ask, "Who are you?" Ephemeron, holding his shepherd's cane, begins his little tale: "I am Ephemeron, originally a mage of great power. I've lived at the castle here for many years, alone. This is my place of meditation. And, this is where I train my elite flock of sheep! No mage has ever come here until now. How did you guys manage to get here?" As Ephemeron listens to their story about Willamena, he ponders and thinks. "Yes, that would make sense. Recently, there have been great disturbances around here. I believe it is because the magic node within the mountain is leaking magic power, and is about to break down. This leakage is what is causing disturbances and illusions within the lake recently. That is also perhaps where this Willamena came from. It is likely a spirit that has been released and is gaining power from the node leak. We must stop this spirit before it gains too much power!" As StMichael gets up, Ephemeron apologizes, "Sorry, but I feared for the safety of my little lamb and didn't want you to hurt it. Here, I'll heal you." As Ephemeron calls upon his ancient magic and heals StMichael's wounds, Destructo and Wyvern ponder what Ephemeron has just said...

StMichael StMichael is dumb-founded, he has just witnessed the occurence of parallel dimensions. A voice comes form the water, "Come, learn the secrets of the water." As StMichael reaches the water's edge, he suddenly feels the sharp pain of a bat hitting him in the back of the head. As he lays there, inconcious, Ephemeron appears, "You weren't supposed to see that." What will happen to our hero? Which is the true reality of the water battle? Who is Ephemeron? What is so great about Willamina? Tune in next time...*click* StMichael turns off the radio and sits in his chair wondering: What will happen to our hero? Which is the true reality of the water battle? Who is Ephemeron? What is so great about Willamina? Tune in next time...*click* StMichael turns off the radio and sits in his chair wondering: What will happen to our hero? Which is the true reality of the water battle? Who is Ephemeron? What is so great about Willamina? Tune in next time...*click* StMichael turns off the radio and sits in his chair thinking: Dejavu! When he gets up to make some coffee, he slips on the wet tile floor and passes out. When he awakens, a lamb, Destructo, Zool and Wyvern are standing over him...

Zool Wyvern was crossing the lake, when suddenly he is fighting for his life. The boat rocks and water sprays everywhere as the extra large water elemental displays his anger. Then Wyvern sees a flash of white light in the water. Instantly the boat ceases to rock. The water becomes calm. The flash of light under the water becomes a glow, which gradually becomes brighter and brighter. As the light brightens, Wyvern begins to hear angels singing, louder and louder. The water becomes calmer, flatter. As the light brightens to an intensity rivalling the sun, as the angellic voices singing reach a crescendo, as the water becomes as flat as a sheet of glass, he sees something coming to the surface of the lake. It is a beautiful woman, holding something high in her arms. Clothed in shimmering moss, radiating a powerful light, she speaks. She is holding... A goose. "I am the lady of the lake. This is Honker, the Goose of Redemption. Use him wisely, only when you are in your greatest peril, and he shall serve you well." As the goose flapped into Wyvern's boat, the Lady of the Lake slaps Wyvern's outstretched claws. "Don't eat him, this is a very special Goose!" she scolded. Then she sank below the surface without a trace. "Honk!" said the goose, and pooped on the seat next to Wyvern.

Destructo OOC:hey wyvern we gonna be allys or what? i just finished researching my spells this morning and i`m ready to kick some a$$. IC:With a hasty "hello" Destructo drops down on Wyverns ship and they cooperate dispelling all the elementals. they kick back and relax in the boat when Destructo questions "Why exactly did you ditch us in the first place?"

Ephemeron Hearing StMichael drop his crystal ball, Ephemeron realizes that he perhaps has been spotted. He begins to cast a silencing spell, to stop his sheep from their constant bleeting, and continues watching from among his sheep, but then he sees that one of his baby lambs has wandered towards the strangers. Ephemeron curses silently at disobedient sheep that would stray from the flock, but continues to watch to see what will become of that lamb...

StMichael As Destructo and StMichael wait for Wyvern to stop playing with the cute little water elemental, StMicahel hears the bleeting of sheep in the distance. With a quick look at his crystal ball, he sees a shepard looking strait at him. Shocked, StMichael drops the crystal ball shattering it on the ground. "Destructo," StMichael says, "has anyone ever looked back at you in a crystal ball?" "No, they don't work that way. Only the user can see anything." "That's what I thought. Just now when I used the crystal ball, a shepard was looking at me." "That's impossible." "I need some coffee." Just then a new-born lamb wobbles over to StMichael...

Ephemeron Ephemeron feels a tingling around his feet, and notices a small school of giant fish swimming about. He quickly nets a few and puts them away. As he does so, he notices two mages fly across the lake and call out to the person in the boat. Ah, so its a mage in the lake, not a fisherman, Ephemeron thinks. Not having seen any mages around these parts for a long time, Ephemeron becomes decidedly interested in them. He returns to his giant flock of sheep grazing nearby and quietly calls them. As the mages talk by the lakeside, Ephemeron watches from afar, among his sheep...

StMichael "Oh, I'm sorry, terribly sorry. Sometimes I just get carried away. You know how it is, monkeys flying around you when your goatee is stuck in the fax machine. These things will happen. I'm so sorry, here let me take my sword out of your leg. I don't suppose you could get you hellhound to loosen its grip on my butt, could you?" After StMichael and Destructo disentangle, they notice a struggle in the lake. "Hey," cries StMichael, "that looks like Wyvern in that boat. Is that a water elemental?" Destructo and StMichael ponder the outcome of the water battle for exactly 4.36 minutes. Then StMichael casts flying on the two and they safely cross the waters. "Hey, Wyvern! Stop fooling around, I forgot the directions."

Destructo OOC:Wyvern i was supposed to be an ally not someone to steal the princess off you, I hope it turns out to be a man lol. IC:St. Micheal and Destructo are still locked in battle when they realized the`ve been ditched. Destructo exaustedly says "Why exactly were we fighting anyways?"

Ephemeron As Wyvern sailed across the lake, he noticed the water churning around him. Before he could do anything, several Water Elementals rose out from the lake and surrounded him. Ephemeron watched from across the lake as he continued to fish. He was too far away to understand the true peril of the situation. "Wow," he thought, "that guy on the boat must be an awesome fisherman, to be able to snag a Water Elemental!" Ephemeron was so awed by the site of rising water in the middle of the lake that he did not notice the water rippling close to his feet...

Wyvern "heh heh!" thought wyvern as Destructo and StMichael battled, "now's my chance! Princess Willamina will be MINE! ALL MINE!" Wyvern then took the only boat parked in the harbor and began to sail across the lake... "To Willamiiina, ho!" little did wyvern know of the horrors the depths of this lake held...

Destructo Out of the woods behind them they hear a rustling sound. They both spin fast and Wyverns look of surprise dissapears when he realizes who it is, but St Micheal had never seen the guy before and before Wyvern could stop him he ran at Destructo sword held high.

Zool Just then Wyvern and StMichael heard the hiss of another incoming arrow. They both hit the dirt. The arrow went into the ground between them. "It must be from Princess Willamina!" said Wyvern. Unrolling the message, he read; "I am now being held in the castle across the lake, next to the mountain. I had a few things moved around because the afternoon sun wasn't reflecting into the window onto my favorite table the right way, but it's okay now, my grandmothers vase has the softest golden hue... Oh please hurry, I can't stand this imprisonment! Kiss kiss, Princess Willamina
