Skye got a little distracted halfway towards the horticultural section of the bar. Hey, Tancred, I think you have a full house there. You might actually be able to win back your socks. LOL. BTW, how come Karnas has most of your stuff? Wah! You're drooling on my chair! Can someone come and clean up all this green slime oozing from this being's mouth?!

The only sources I have for Orb are Talisman of Death
And Way of the Ninja

On the other hand, I have ALL the FF sources for Titan
Including a timeline downloaded from their website

(Been using this in my campaign on Titan)

What the hell - I can't put it off any longer
.
***************************************
Titan is the source world for most of the Fighting Fantasy books. I could cover all the history but it’s not too relevant to the Bar thread

We have landed in Port Blacksand – also known as the City of Thieves – a more wretched hive of scum and villainy does not exist on Titan – it is ruled by the Tyrant Lord Azzur – for those of you wanting to smack him, don’t – he uses living doubles a lot of the time, and the City Guard is comprised of Trolls wearing chain mail and using halberds. His elite guard are human, so is the captain of the city guard – the trolls fear him.

He is also the captain of the pirate ship “The Face of Chaos” – he is always wrapped up turkish-style clothing. The one person to have seen him naked (apart from his holy man – he is a Priest of the God of Storms (Sukh to good people, Kukulak to evil)

There are pixies, dwarves, elves, Lizardines, trolls, orcs, goblins, humans and all-sorts living in Port Blacksand
***************************************
.
The decent to Titan is worrying for some - Skye really SHOULDN't have looked out of the window - the atmosphere is not helped much with Lord Shield messing about going "Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! " out the window at imaginary flying things
.
There is a resounding crash and bump - hope nobody had curry or it' come back up again. People mill about in the filthy streets outside, looking at the building with interest. A pair of armoured troll nervously step in - "OK! WHO SAID YOU COULD SQUASH THE LOCAL TAVERN!"

Lord Thought strides up to the trolls "We crash-landed on a tavern?"
.
"That's right - the Black Lobster Tavern and you are under arrest"
.
"Oh!" says Fortuna, "is dropping taverns on buildings against the law here then?"
.
The Trolls scratch their heads. The first one says "well, actually, I don't think I've heard of that law"
.
"Of coure not", says Fortuna, " that's because it's acceptable behaviour. How else can you progress? Would you like a beer?"
.
The trolls are confused but understand beer and go for some
.
Then the door springs open. Several filthy humans with scars and scimitars wander in. "The hell with you - what have you done with our pub? You've gone and squashed Captain Saemon and his crew" - the pirates all draw their sword

~'Not so fast, Mr Lich!' Melusine grabs Wah by the scruff of his neck and plucks the silly hat of his shrivelled lich-head. 'Perhaps you had better stay here and help us...what do YOU think?' Suddenly, the innocent elf's eyes blaze with fire... a sight so startling that even the dreaded Archlich feels himself bound to keep looking in those eyes... and notices himself bubbling unintelligible sounds of approval. Her eyes return to normal. 'Good' she says cheerily, 'Now, Lord Thought baby, let's see what THEIR problem is' she says while indicating the fearsome pirates standing in the dooropening.

Artemis stands up and reaches for one of his hiddern daggers (if you listern veeery carfully when he walks you can hear a slight chink from all his hiddern daggers). he pulls out throwing knife of ice +3 (does 1d4+1,+3cold damage. and returns to the users hand after hitting target). he lines up for the throw. waiting for LS's instrutions. after standing around for a couple minutes looking like a pillock he realises "no one can be killed (unless under extream cercumstances)" so he sits down and gets back to drinking.

"Pirates," growls Tancred, in an unusually angry tone of voice. "I don't like Pirates."
Confronted as they are with an apparently unfazed man dressed in nothing more than woolen pants, some of the pirates look at each other nervously.

OOC: Considering the bar's patrons are probably carrying more magical weapons, magic spells and strange powers than all the Fighting Fantasy books out there, I think we're in with a fighting chance.

Lord Shield 06-23-2001 06:43 PM

that too.

The pirates get over their fear and laugh at Tancred - then they Eye Melusine. "Ey-oop - we'll be having us some fun with that their wen..." is all one said before His head explodes - Lord Thought says "he could regenerate his head - but he wasn't really using it anyway"

Fantastic were in Titan now, hmmm read a book about a rouge doing an iniciation ceremony there before, quite dull but that was probably just the book. Sigh. Im annoyed I missed Kangaxx taking over a borg cube and lots of invitations dammit all because of some troublsome gorrillas, ah well. Brilliant we get to go break some stuff now though dont we. Anything good to steal or is it all for breaking, as I said before (and yes I ripped it off) Cry Havoc and let loose the dogs of war.

Tancred 06-23-2001 07:10 PM

A thought appears to strike the Paladin. Casting around, he finds his bag of holding. After a few seconds rummaging, he unearths a copy of FF#5, City of Thieves. He glances through a few pages, looking at his surroundings as he does so..

Wah 06-23-2001 08:43 PM

The nearest thief attempts to strike Arch Lich Wah, but fails his hit as the lich gains the momentum with a blended Absolute Immunity in a triple chain contingency = 9 spells!!

He starts to cry as a misleaded Wah starts laughing at his failed strikes (due to the "ultimate mantle" (+7 or more) ) This lasts until he is tired out and Wah simply kicks him over for a easy win!! Yay!

Thief number two is a martial artist! He tries to kick Wah, but Wah yawns and simply knocks him out with one abi-dalzim,

In fact the battle is so easy that he has time to lay down a tea towel and resume his suntanning in the lovely weather.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

That is when a large black knight steps out...........wearing heavy full plate, his eyes are glowing, his massive masamune at his side.

jabidas 06-23-2001 09:01 PM

Jabidas smiles showing his teeth and all the thieves pause terrified, looking at pearly white teeth as the sorcerer casts, his hands move quickly in the air, some of the magicusers recognise the spell and are awed by it Malec-Keth's Flame Fist. Jabidas moves around the bar touching thieves his hand aflame, thieves fall to the ground shrouded in magical fire, their faces crack juices pour out hissing in the flames, bones are visible protuding from where limbs once hung as the men scream on. Some of them run and the sorcer knows none shall bother him in the near future. Jabidas sits and pulls his drink close happy that some lives were saved because of the violence he commited.

OK! I am in a bad mood! I have a huge hangover, I lost at cards to a sword , and I just lost all the kalimari that I just ate, due to my stupid motion sickness! Argh! And not only that, I ran out of my favorite nail polish! I have to... go hurt someone... or something... and get over this crisis! (*sob*)
Skye runs out, bashing every native to the planet Titan in sight.
Good. I feel better now. Ack! Wah! Get out of my way! I'm always tripping over you!
Wah is seen flying through the air, and disapears into the distance. "AAAAAaaaahhhh..."
Skye trudges (sp?) back to the bar.
A round of beers, and make it snappy. Mel? you wouldn't happen to have some spare nail polish handy, now would you? Oh, and I think I could use some chips and dip right about now. I need to calm down.

OOC- What didja expect me to say? I am a girl u know... we do like to talk bout makeup an stuff sometimes, its a fact of life! Skye is over her "mid life crisis" now though. LOL ^_^;;

"Pirates?",the Paladin snarls,ripping his Holy Avenger,free of the floor boards."Hold the eggs,I'll just be a second."
"ForHelm! For clean underwear and Pure thoughts! RRAAAAAARRRAGGGHHH!!!"
Swinging the sword upright it shears though one of the overhead beams. He charges the huddled group of pirates. The foremost one begans to wave his hands and mumble a spell,which is cut off as the sword splits him cleanly in two on the downstroke. Pandemonium reigns as the pirates scramble to evade the huge blade which is indiscriminately slicing chunks out of pirates,the doorway,tables and anything else within reach.
"Dirty,no-good @#@^^$#&!!@@!!!" the Paladin snarls flipping an impaled pirate off the end of his sword with all the grace of a farmer pitching hay into a loft. The remaining pirates scramble on their hands and knees,scuttling under one table after another as the enraged Paladin chops through every table to get at them. In desperation the pirates tackle Tiax and hold a rusty butterknife to his throat.
"Stop where you are",the pirate screams, "or the paper boy gets it!"

I think it's safe to say any remaining pirates will run for the hills screaming (and the hills are VERY far away) - Jabidas, the book was "Midnight Rogue" - somewhat naff - a lot of those books were so contrived - "Armies of Death" was the biggest heap of shit going - however, I liked the world, if not the books

Lord Thought and Lord Shield start. Lord Shield’s brow furrows. “Damn!” LT and LS walk into the fireplace and disappear, of to deal with whatever crisis would annoy such beings
.
Shortly after, a group of robed individuals walk in. An Anti-magic Shell is covered over the area – Wah and Jabidas find themselves unable to cast spells. From behind these individuals, come some tough warriors with nets and suchlike
.
They lose some of their men, but eventually everybody is captured (even the Star Trek Githyanki) – Cheesy felt sluggish under the Anti-Magic and is left behind
.
YOU’VE ALL BEEN CAPTURED!! I shan’t say who’s done it yet, but you are taken (by teleportation) elsewhere. You wake up in individual cells, collars around your necks (they disable spellcasting/shapeshifting and are booby-trapped
.

Wah 06-24-2001 09:45 AM

No longer being able to cast spells - Wah decides that a trip to the coffin would be a good start.

However, apart from a couple of poisonous rattlesnakes, he finds Neb sleeping inside from last night's round = cheek number 2!

The situation seems grim as the magical shell begins to deflect spell after spell, the magic seemed to be drawn into a planar vortex where nothing could escape.

So instead Wah carefully picks up a dead thief costume and disguises himself.
It is a pleasure to watch several jaws gapping as Wah is escorted out of the bar and into the fresh open air.

"Welcome Master Thief Valok, It Was Fortunate You Survived" echoed the unknown thief.

Wah could now cast his magics again. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

Lord Shield 06-24-2001 09:51 AM

Nice try, Wah, but there are no thieves about – they all fled, remember? Besides, a simple disguies (donned in FRONT of the enemy) isn’t going to fool the Netherese Sorcerors
.
Ther is one thing in your favour though – Titan liches don’t have an endothermic touch. A short while after you are bundled in your cell, you feel your manacles starting to freeze. The collar will still explode if you cast a spell though

Melusine 06-24-2001 11:45 AM

~Melusine groggily opens her eyes and finds herself in a chilly, dank, high-ceilinged cell of about four metres squared. She bolts upstraight and to her dismay finds she is collared and cuffed... Using her strong telepathic bond with Lord Thought she tries to send out a warning to him, but somehow, she cannot reach him. It is as if the bond is somehow clogged or distorted by an unknown device. She deduces that it must be the collar that is blocking any telepathic communication.
As her eyes slowly adjust to the half-light in the cell, Melusine finds that luckily, she is not bolted to the floor by any chains, so she gingerly gets up, still unstable on her legs, and examines the room. There is nothing much to see...the steel door seems solid enough, and the walls are made of rough stone. High up in the wall, there is a small window with bars in front. Melusine's wings are not bound, and she flies up and peers through the dirty glass, leaning on the window pane. There is not much to see, the glass is too dirty..... but then, as she looks down at her hands, she notices a strange blot on her left hand...it is... a strange picture of some kind. She rubs, but it won't come off... Puzzled, she flaps down to sit on the ground, waiting for something to happen.~

What is up with this collar? I can't get it off... Skye reaches up into her hair, and pulls out some consealed (sp?) lockpicks +3. Hope this works... she tinkers away at her collar, while looking around for an escape route.

Oh yes, it most definitely is... only the Doughboy knows terms of such utter vileness! She springs up and flaps up to the window: "Caleb!", she cries, "can you hear me? Caleb!! Skye? Jabidas? Tancred?" After some hesitation, she adds, "Tiax?" Then, she hears a voice calling her name closeby... it is Skye! "Skye? Are you alright?" Before Skye can answer, the Doughboy's stream of obscenities suddenly ends in a loud 'whack', followed by the hollow boom of a cell door smacked close. Heavy footsteps are approaching... "Skye, quiet!" warns the elf..., "someone's coming!"~

Wah 06-24-2001 02:11 PM

The sorceror enters and grabs Wah by the collar.

"DO YOU SEE!! DO YOU SEE!" he screams, with rancid breath.

Wah is totally shock, but he is aware of eyes being watched all around him. He trembles as one of the sorcerors mutter some arcane spell and lightly picked up a dagger. He stabs it into Wah's left shoulder.

"Ughh!"

He stabs again.

"AAAARGH!! OH GOD! MAN, OH GOD!"

"That's enough" whispered one of the outer wizards. "This one is strong, I sense that he is no ordinary mortal, even though he may look like one - we'll take care of him later!"

"Yes Sire" replied the sorceror.

They fling Wah back to his cell and watch the Arch Lich slap hard onto the wall, he blacks out and desparately tries to stand up - but his right ankle has been twisted (he collaspes)

There is still............no escape.

The Paladin awakens in the dank cell and makes a quick inventory of his possessions. He notes that his Holy Avenger is gone ,cries briefly,he still has his armor,the ring of Gaxx,and his pouch made from the scrotum of John Irenicus.
His hand finds one more thing snugged into the back of his belt, Crom Feyr.
"I am armed and amored,by Helm, there is yet hope". Reasoning that other prisoners might be incarcelled nearby. He smacks a nearby block to see if he might signal another and thereby begin plotting their excape. Comr Feyr strikes the block ripping it free from the mortar and sending it flying across the adjoining cell to ricochet off the wall. Screams and curses are heard from the hole.
"Hello and well met?",calls out the Paladin hopefully..

Lord Shield 06-24-2001 05:34 PM

ok. There is a chain and manacle on one leg. Hands are bound with rope. Your lockpicking attempt is futile on the collars - you cannot find the clasp, which is strange - if you can get back to the bar, the Old Ones should be able to remove them tho
.
Wah's manacles shatter fro mhis cold touch, but the manacle is still there. Wah is unsure if summoning undead counts as a spell for the purposes of the manacle
.
Outside the cell, are two motionless statues - they look to be made of Iron - you guys recognise Iron Golems when you see them

Even with his hands bound the Paladin is able to lift Crom Feyr and shatter his chain,using the sharp end of the broken shackle he severs the ropes binding his hands and he stand free. Looking through the bars of his cell he spots two iron golems.
"Ah",he mutters,"simple math, two golems plus Crom Feyr equal dead golems. The question is should I shatter the door and attempt my escape,or will this accursed collar strike me down? And what of the others? And more importantly,what of my steak and eggs?"

Tancred 06-24-2001 06:27 PM

Tancred awakes.
He hangs from the cold wall, arms bound by secure chain, a collar biting around his neck. Blood drips from his aching mouth, and there are bruises on his body he doesn't remember getting. His head swims, trying to piece together where he is. He remembers the pirates... killing... the bar, but noone is there with him. His vision is clouded and blurred from tears and fatigue.
He hangs there for an hour, a day, a year - impossible to tell. The paladin's mind begins to wander hither and thither, delusions creep in from around him. Is this a dream? Is this reality? Am I dead, and in Hell? Did the pirates kill me? He struggles to find a point of reference - and realises he's still wearing his thermals. Clutching on to this small piece of apparent continuity, the assumption of capture upon Titan presents itself for examination and is judged likely.
Time passes, and familiar voices drift down to the paladin's ears. He can hear soft, slightly feminine voices - and strains to make out words, tones. Recognition remains out of his grasp, but only just - he *knows* he knows those voices, but he cannot remember who they belong to.
Another eternity, and his vision begins to clear. Across the darkened room he can see, at last, a familiar shape. There are bars to this cell, and a small trickling of light - and beyond the bars, propped up against the wall, he can see his sword, Karnas. The blade is silent.
"Karnas!" Tancred pauses in surprise as his voice emerges hoarse and dry. He tries again, forcing the words through. "Karnas! Are you there?"
The sword seems to move a few millimetres across the wall - or is that only my imagination, wonders the Paladin?
"Karnas, listen to me! Do you know where we are?"
Again, the sword remains silent. A thought strikes Tancred - is it possible for a sword to be rendered unconscious?
"KARNAS!" The words are painful. "KARNAS! WAKE UP!"
There is a few minutes' silence as a suspicion turns into a full-blown fear.
"Karnas?"
The cold facts line up in Tancred's mind. The sword is silent. The room is dark - Karnas isn't glowing. Why would anyone just leave a sword of such power against a cell wall?
A moan of sorrow escapes past Tancred's lips as he realises the truth. He strains at his chains in a futile effort to reach the sword, the tears flowing again. Between sobs, he mouths a prayer for his friend's departed soul.
Karnas is dead.

OOC: I just love this way everyone kind of treats Karnas as a pivotal character. And to think I introduced the talking sword idea as a kind of one-shot comic relief...

Trust me, Shield, Mel. Even I'm not annoyed enough at the sometimes amusing, sometimes irritating rapier-like wit of Karnas to kill him off PERMANENTLY.
