Cu-Cu-Cachoo!

[Kami]

*from now on kah'boose party=Alpha'bets, Nii party=tah'co*
the Alpha'bets party goes to the west side of the small village, the tah'co party checks in the center, while drashil heads off to check the east side.

*town would kinda be like a box []*

as party Alpha'bets walks they spot another man, not same one but also carrying cricket bat in dark robes, the man walks into a tree and disapears.

walk thru the tree?


----------Meanwhile---

Party Tah'co spots a dark robe'd person thru a house

do you confront this person?

--------at the same time----

Drashil finds a group of people, all wearing dark robes with flaming cricket bats, each one humming a tune as they walk by, not staring at anything. the group walk into a rock, slowly disapearing except two men who continue on chanting as they walk more towards town.

do you go thru the rock or follow the two men?

[Chu-Chu]

*picks up a giant log and knocks the two walking out cold. Takes one guys robes and flaming bat, puts them on, mimics their chant, and walks through the rock wall*

Oh, yeah.... *has the tree bend down pick the two up, loft them high into it's branches, then tie bind them up there. Bound and gaged.*

*dont be confused by Chu's actions, this only affects his part of the story, other groups must choose between the options on ackin.proboards36.com/index.cgi?board=dd&action=display&thread=1149392793&page=6#1149872108*

When you walk in you notice two reptile-loooking beats, as u continue to nervously humm they seem at ease, and choose not to engage you.
Drashil continued down the long steps till he reached the bottom.
"Brother Matthews, Where is the orb of Diani? we cannot begin the ritual without it!" cries out another man in a dark robe.

[The Black Dart]

*Mr. Rawrington goes back to grazing*

[Mr. Sassy Pants]

nii peers through the house and sees the man, he dashes to him, using the force to hold him in place so he cannot escape

"why are you here?"

[Chu-Chu]

I simply join the group of others in the temple. reading the thoughts of all those around me, and making sure I do exactly as they do. I gather as much information as possible.

"Brother Matthews, Where is the orb of Diani? we cannot begin the ritual without it!" cries out another man in a dark robe towards Drashil.

-----meanwhile---

as nii asked the question, the old lady shrieks out saying "help! Help im being raped!!! help!!!!", the police officers arrive promptly at the house, surronding it completely.

Edumah (who had been sitting as a tick on Nii's shoulder the entire time) "Now this would be easy to get out of, but then you'll be a criminal."

whats ur move Party Tah'co? go to jail or resist*

*resist doesnt have to mean violence*

[Chu-Chu]

I superscede the mind of the man yelling at me to make him think that brother Maynard (the man to my left) was suppose to bring the orb of Diani.

[Kami]

the newly framed 'brethern' was taken off, screaming by two other bigger looking men. the one who turned questioned you before exclaims "you know very well the ritual of the ashes cant be completed without a shift-shaper, i sent both of you off to the house to grab her, here's the directions again if you need'em now GET to it."

As Drashil finally fets to the place, he notices afew cops surronding his target building...

[Mr. Sassy Pants]

nii...glancing at the cops, uses his jedi mind tricks

"i am not doing anything to harm her, you dont have to worry, shes and old friend"

he frees the woman from his force holding (?) and asks her, "why are you dressed like the others?"

[Chu-Chu]

*uses his mind to tell the cops to leave. and enters the house. Upon seeing Nii and Bones, drops his hood and announces himself.*

I believe I can answer that. This woman, is a shape shifter. She is being taken to the temple to perform the Ritual of the Ashes. The shape shifter, and the Orb of Diani are required. This woman, is the shapeshifter required for the ceremony. Now, the real question is... What exactly, is her part in this ritual. Madam, care to explain?

~Chu

[Kami]

as the cops leave, the woman says "what others?" as she begins to take you more seriously, she says "oh alright you cought me." and at that the old woman turned into a much younger looking one.

"yes" she mumbles "I can change forms".

she goes on to explain how she's been persude by men in dark cloacks, she took out one and wore his outfit. she goes on to explain to you the ritual named "the Ashes" but as she was about to start she points towards a man in a dark cloak and says "were being watched."

fight the man or play cool for now?
-----------meanwhile---
Drashil watched as the police left his target building and crept up to see what he was after exactly. but unfortantely he heard he was spoted.

fight or run?

[Chu-Chu]

*I raise my right hand, and hold all 3 of them in place, also gagging them. With my left hand I motion for them to be quiet. I use my telepathy to tell them that it is me, and not to be alarmed. I then step into the house, and drop my hood. (since well, I recognized Nii and Bones.) I continue on with what I originally planned.*

~Chu

[Kami]

*sry chu i was finishing up my response, i didnt see ur last one >_<*

the woman, which now had no real choice, followed Drashil and said "the riutal is for longetivity, it actualy requires 3 things. Someone who can stay young otherwise known as me. A old artifact which is supposed to make you contact a higher power, not god, but powerful. The ritual invovles sacerficing little old me to energize the artifact.

basically im a friggin battery for someone else to live forever.
and unfortanetly, i dont know the last piece."


after the explaintion your arrive back to the rock.

do you walk in or go somewhere else

[Jonus]

Wonders what he should do....
