Rules Refresher Gragg'Dvorak and Tekris Zimkus stood at the top of a strange ladder, or a tower, of cages; arranged almost so that it would provide easy access from the street, but without being too noticeable. The view from the top of the tower, on that small cliff, was impressive. The pair - or trio, depending on how you counted heads and bodies - did not waste much time there, though, and headed down the tunnel into Hell Pit's cratered stone walls. The way was lined with Warpstone, and the two of them stopped to scoop some up as they headed upwards ever so slightly. A faint draft blew down from above, and a horrid squawking noise sounded from ahead, and echoed down to them, causing them both to flinch. It took far too long of a walk to make their way up to a point where the tunnel expanded, and the pair - or trio - found themselves standing just around a sharp bend in the tunnel, right as it turned from narrow tunnel to large cavern. A quick peek inside by Tekris and Gragg revealed rows upon rows of cages, all filled with all manners of winged beasts, of all sizes and shapes. One in particular was currently on a perch in the center of the room, preening oily and razor-sharp feathers with a vicious beak. It was easily two or three times the size of a Skaven, yet seemed content to remain docile in the face of the small rat hunched over a table nearby, speaking to something. "Yes, yes, Korchak here disposed of the body... I don't know how, the bird just does it, master... no, the body did not explode, what were you thinking? A bomb? Well, it didn't seem to have that effect on things..." Gragg'Dvorak and Tekris exchanged a look, unsure of how to proceed... |

"Big bird and little rat," the ogre mumbled. "Not so scary, let's go and talk brother. Bring back dead rat that big bird dropped." He grabbed the bag in which he had stored some of the decayed remains of the rat earlier and left the cover of the tunnel walls. As he strolled into the open toward the table, he lifted the bag into the air and yelled: "Hey mister rat!" "Mister rat's big bird dropped dead rat! Gragg'Dvorak came to bring dead rat back!" OOC: I'll probably regret this

Tekris fumbled about the tunnel for a small stone. All it should take would be to enrage the flying beast and drive off the Skaven below. That would make things easier for them. Action: try to find a stone in the tunnel and if so, aim it at the large bird. |

At the sound of Gragg'Dvorak's voice, the rat jumped and the bird-thing turned to look at the pair of them, eyes burning. It squawked as the Skaven hurriedly fumbled with something, and then aimed a Warplock pistol at the Ogre. "What in Tz- what are you? Why... what did you do bringing that back here?' The Skaven looked genuinely scared for a moment, before that expression was replaced with shock as a rock flew from the tunnel and hit the poor bird in the head. The shock became anger. "Who dares throw stones at Mighty Korchak?" the rat boomed, his voice echoing in the room. The cages lining the walls began to rattle, squawk, and shimmer, and the rat's fur took on a peculiar hue. He stepped forward, and Korchak followed suit, glaring at Gragg'Dvorak's eyes - or trying to. Tekris, meanwhile, remained hidden. "[Foul beast!" the rat cried, and pointed an accusing finger at Gragg'Dvorak... ...from which blue and yellow flame leapt, curling and spiraling in on itself. The ogre ducked as it flew over his head, hitting the tunnel wall above and him. The stone began to melt where the fire hit, and then it opened up eyes. Tekris looked up at it with some alarm, and then it looked right back at him... |

Gragg'Dvorak looked over his shoulder at the eyes in the wall with some concern and dashed away behind some cages in case the skaven or possibly the strange eyes would fire again. "Foul beast? Gragg'Dvorak is no foul beast!" he yelled. "Gragg'Dvorak is mighty ogre, great friend of great Mutae!" "Gragg'Dvorak is here to bring back dead rat!" "Gragg'Dvorak means no harm to little mister rat or big bird... yet, unless mister rat keeps shooting strange fire with strange stoney eyes!" After these words he tossed the bag with remains over to the skaven, his cleaver ready in case it would turn into a fight after all. Edited by Jorry Potsie, Sat 04 Feb 2017 14:44:06.

Tekris looked at the eyes and the eyes looked back at Tekris. It was at this moment that Tekris deeply regreted not bringing along some kind of fifteen foot pole to poke the stone in the eyes. He blinked as a thought wormed its way into his head. They had said something about a bomb in the body and that Skaven that seemed most likely to be a heretic or had learnt to breathe specially dyed flames through his fingers, seemed somewhat frightened of the body. Tekris's eyes wandered from the stone that still oggled at him and instead found them straying to that strange magical thing that he had removed from the corpse. He grinned nastily. Below Gragg'Dvorak was trying to repair the damage Tekris' errant stone had done. Tekris waited for the Skaven's response to the ogre. Prepared to yell out a Gribble warcry and throw the magical thing at the bird if the Skaven continued to attack. |

"Why would you bring a Tainted One back before Us?" the rat snarled. "The mighty Korchak does not tolerate unenlightened visitors!" The rat pointed once more at Gragg'Dvorak, and the mighty bird unfurled its wings and lunged at the two-headed Ogre, beak snapping. Above Tekris, the eye blinked slowly, and a tear fell from its eye... a glowing blue tear with a yellow flame inside... |

Tekris leapt backwards and threw the strange device, half hoping that it would pass through the glowing flame tear and down into the chamber below. "Gribble!" he cried. Somewhere, somehow, Gribble quivered in his mobility device as if someone had called his name. He shrugged and went back to drinking. |

So a fight it was gonna be. ""Come and get, big bird!" the ogre roared at the large creature, with no intention to give away his ground. Gragg lifted the large cleaver, ready to strike, as Dvorak mumbled in an attempt to provide his brother spiritual support. The bird was almost in reach and the two-faced butcher was ready to do what butchers did best: Chopping up some meat. Action: Try to cast Energise on Gragg'Dvorak (I don't know how spellpoints work in this RP ) and strike the bird down when it is in reach.

Tekris leapt back and threw the strange device, hoping it would solve all of his problems... unfortunately, his shot went wide, and he missed the falling tear. Instead, it sharply hit the stone right next to the eye, which bulged wide in surprise as the stone around it began to crumble. The device itself vanished in a puff of smoke. The falling tear, however, hit the stone below it, and the stone where it hit began to quiver and undulate, until it popped out a pair of tentacles that waved ominously at Tekris. The rest of the tunnel began to shake, however, as the stone that made it up began to crumble to sand. The eye fell from the stone tunnel, landing with a squelch in front of Tekris. It looked up at him. Tekris faced a momentous decision; rush out of the tunnel, or rush in to help the two-headed Ogre, who even now was fighting off the large bird? The bird charged straight at Gragg'Dvorak, and breathed flames once more. The ogre ducked, and the flames hit the falling sand and turned them to blood. Grinning madly, Gragg - or was it Dvorak? - sliced at the bird, cutting its neck. Instead of blood, blue and yellow flames burst from it, and it screeched in alarm as it began to peck viciously at the Ogre. Gragg'Dvorak fought it off, and after a few moments, managed to lop the bird's head off. It exploded into flames, and the old rat looked on, shocked, as the Oge advanced on him. The winged beasts all around them began to caw ominously, as the tunnel behind the Ogre started to crumble... The rat's voice had returned to normal, and the musk of fear filled the air. "What have you done? The temporal bomb... you broke it! In here! No, no, it was supposed to destroy the pub... oh, he'll kill me... he'll kill us all!" From the tunnel, Tekris heard his words as well. |

Tekris stood in stunned shock for a moment until it seeped into his mind what he had done. Before he quite knew what he was doing he rushed onwards towards the ogre, if only for Gragg'Dvorak to provide a more cushioned landing. "Bad day! Bad day! Bad day!" cried Tekris as he charged forwards. |

One of the ogre's heads turned to look at the destruction behind him and to look for the screaming Tekris. "Come fast, ratty doctor!" he yelled while he continued dashing to the opposite site of the room, towards the old flame-spewing rat. As he came closer to the guy, he reached out with his empty hand to grab him. Gragg'Dvorak didn't care about the rat's life, after all the bastard was the one who started firing, but leaving him here to die in the crumbling tunnel wouldn't give them any answers. There would still be time to introduce the rat to his cleaver after all of this was over... Action: Catch Tekris if necessary and run for it. Grab the old rat on the way out. |

Gragg'Dvorak turned and grabbed both Tekris and the rather shocked old rat, and ran away from the collapsing tunnel as fast as he could, towards another tunnel at the far end of the room. The tunnel collapsed entirely behind them, followed by the room with the birds. "My babies!" the old rat shrieked, but did not do anything to harm Gragg'Dvorak beyond futile smashing. After what felt like far too long, Gragg'Dvorak stopped running and let the doctor and the rat go. They were standing in front of a pair of bronze sliding doors, with Warpstone shards embedded in the frame at regular intervals. In the tunnel on the right side was a button in the shape of an upside-down triangle. The old rat had tears flowing down his eyes as he looked forlornly back from whence he had come. OOC: Sorry for the delay! |

"Gragg'Dvorak said Gragg'Dvorak only came for talk, not for fight, but rat and bird wanted fight." "Now rat has no more bird and babies, only tears..." "So stupid..." The ogre shook his heads in disapproval and then turned to the double doors in front of him. "Maybe door goes back down?" he asked, while looking from Tekris to the old rat. Without even trying the button, the ogre tried to jam his hands in between the doors, in an attempt to create a gap and pry it open. Action: Try to open the (elevator?) doors with brute force. |

"There there...there there..." Tekris could only say to the crying heretic. Doubtless he'd have felt the same if it had been a room of Gribbles that had perished. Then again, Gribble was a git and Tekris instead found himself savouring the mental image of several hundred Gribbles exploding. Perhaps a Gribble cloning project just for that purpose was in order... He shrugged and let the ogre try and pry the doors open, ready to step in if the button needed to be pressed. "So..." he said to the still crying old rat, "since you're already going to die-die from whoever you claim-said was going to kill us all...mind explaining what the Hell-Pit is going on? Why were you trying to blow up Rosko's? Who the birds? And how is this master-thing?" |
