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... |

Gragg'Dvorak had no trouble opening the doors with brute force, and found himself looking down into a very deep and very dark shaft. A cable descended from a ceiling just above the door until it was far out of sight. The old rat's tears stalled, almost seeming to halt in mid-down-face-stream, and he glared at Tekris and shook free of him. "He wanted to test his mastery, the Master did. Said if you could make matter explode, why not time? Why not concepts? Emotions? Everything is energy he says. Made the bomb, it didn't work... no explosion, just aging... and the volunteer was tainted, and my pretty..." The tears began flowing again. "My pretty dropped it off to use the decay of time to destroy the hateful pub that holds back the tide of Chaos! But you... you made it work! And then you dared turn it against me!" The rat spat. "You would not understand, sniveling servants of Mutae. Tzaar is Power" The old rat's voice boomed unexpectedly, inflected now with power. "You have dared to turn the weapons of Tzaar against Him! For this you shall be Punished!" The rat pointed an accusatory finger at Tekris, but no flames came out. |

Tekris quickly bobbed out of the direction of the finger, attempting to use the two headed ogre as a make-shift shield. He reached around and pressed the button for the lift. "Which pub? Rosko's or the Scuttlepub? Because honestly, Rosko's isn't what it used to be. Even so..." Around the ogre an accusatory finger pointed at the old rat briefly before darting back into cover. "How dare you come up with such a shoddy-faulty plan that caused Tzaar's weapon to be used against him! When Tzaar finds out, your punishment will be much-much worse than what's in store for us!" |

"So noisy brother..." the ogre mumbled to himself as the old rat started squeaking his threads once again. It was hard to resist to just grab the little guy and throw him right in the elevator shaft. However, Gragg'Dvorak was too curious to kill him just yet, so he restrained himself. "Ratty doctor is right. Gragg'Dvorak no knows who this Tzaar man is, but Tzaar man must be very mad at little crybaby rat." |

The elevator dinged as a box stopped at the top level. It was devoid of life, but full of a strange variety of levers and buttons. The old rat suddenly looked terrified. "Master will not punish me! I am a loyal servant of Tzaar... Master knows this... it was not my fault... not my fault... it must be the menagerie! Yes, our allies supplied us with faulty material! tzaar will understand!" |

An accusing claw appeared around the ogre again briefly. "Why-why didn't you just chuck-throw the bomb-thing by hand-paw? I think it's clear-clear it works, why-why bugger about making the plan-thing stupid-complicated? It's Skaven like-like you that give Skavenkind a bad name-thing. Tzaar's going to be angry-pissed at you." Tekris paused and looked around. "What-what do these levers and buttons do before Gragg starts pulling and pressing them?" |

"Gragg is very good at pulling buttons and pressing levers..." the ogre's right head growled, sounding somewhat offended by Tekris' remark. "No brother, let doctor friend press buttons," the other head argued, "Dvorak says Gragg'Dvorak speaks to old crybaby rat." The ogre grabbed the old rat and dragged him into the elevator, after which he carefully got in himself, making sure that the construction would be able to support his weight before going in completely. "So... mister crybaby," the ogre continued. "Who is this Tzaar man crybaby rat speaks about all the time." "Gragg'Dvorak thinks Tzaar man is not very smart, chosing little crybaby for important work and stupid allies giving... faulty stuff that seems not so faulty..." Action: Use the elevator together with Tekris, as I try to get info from the old rat by provoking him Edited by Jorry Potsie, Tue 07 Mar 2017 20:30:26.

The old rat's voice booms in response to Gragg'Dvorak's provocations. "Tzaar is me, fool! Tzaar is no man, no beast, no rat-scum, but a god of evolution and change, a fragment of His flaming glory!" The old rat began to heat up significantly as he spoke, forcing the ogre to let go, and a moment later he was ablaze, coated in blue and yellow flames. A look of sheer tower passed through his eyes the instant before he flesh and fur turned to glittering ashes. As the ashes settled on the ground, the ogre and Skaven thought they hears a whispered Tzaar... The two stood there, looking at the ash-covered rat, before stepping into the elevator and pushing buttons and levers expertly. Tekris, horrified by Gragg'Dvorak's treatment of the levers, scrambled to undo every action he did, which only made the ogre more angry. In the mad frenzy of button-pushing and lever-pulling, the pair of them were halfway down the shaft before they notied they were falling. A second mad scramble ensued, and Tekris finally found the brake, causing the elevator to screech to a halt - and not a moment too soon, for it appeared they had reached the bottom. "Well, well, well, it looks like we have intruders." The pair looked out the elevator's open door, and found themselves looking across an empty room. On the far side of it stood a Skaven all in blue, with a skull-mask on its head. "Come-cross. Tzaar will decide if you live to see His light... or if you die in His darkness." To emphasize his point, the rat snapped his fingers, and gouts of flame burst up, down, and out from the floor, ceiling, and walls. A grid of blue and yellow flames - which the pair was getting very sick of seeing - blocked their way, but there looked to be three paths through the flames... a winding path through the center, a straight path, and one around the room's edges. Of course, more flames could appear at any moment... or they could flee up through the elevator... Edited by Morkskittar, Thu 09 Mar 2017 23:47:06.

Tekris peered at the flames and the lunatic in the mask. "One moment" he said and closed the lift doors. He turned to Gragg'Dvorak. "Why is it always Skaven who are the froth-frothing mad lunatics? Anyway, it's an interesting puzzle-thing. Those that take their time around the problem, those that go straight to the point, and those that skirt around their problem-things." Tekris opened the lift doors briefly. "By the way, what-what did you say-squeak your name was?" he asked the masked Skaven, "and woud you like to purchase the ashes of an old fool-rat?" He closed the doors once more before the cultist could answer. "Completely insane" he commented, "anyway, any idea-things?" |

"Ratty doctor is right, all rats down here seem crazy!" the ogre said to Tekris, as he put down a broken lever. "...but Gragg'Dvorak thinks this Tzaar, god or man, is pretty strong, making rats burst in flames and such..." the other head added. The ogre didn't take long to think about the apparent challenge that the masked rat in blue had layed down in front of them. "Gragg'Dvorak thinks answer is pretty clear." "Gragg'Dvorak is strong ogre, strong ogres have no fear or doubt and take straight path." He stepped towards the double door, ready to open them again and face the challenge head first unless Tekris could somehow convince him an other path would be a better choice.

Tekris scratched his snout. "It would be interesting to see which path-thing is the best...I'll take-run the crazy-elaborate one, let's scent-see who survive-lives. For science." Action: open doors and choose the winding path |

The doors opened once more, and the robed rat watched with silent interest as Tekris wound his way through the flames, and as Gragg'Dvorak barreled through. Somehow, Tekris managed to reach the end first, confusing the poor Ogre. The two of them stood before the robed rat, who inclined his head ever so slightly. "Well done, the pair of you. I see you bear gifts?" he said, looking pointedly at the both of them. |

Tekris checked his fur and brushed off a handful of ashes. "I have some of that old rat who could-couldn't blow up the pub-place correctly, though most-most of him is still in the elevator... I might-may have blown up the bird-thing room...sorry about that...otherwise I might have had some nice feathers." |

"Old rat shot fire at Gragg'Dvorak and ratty friend, now old rat dead." "Blue rat also makes weird fire with strange power," the ogre shortly glanced at Tekris who had managed to outrun him in some unexplainable way, "but at least blue rat no shoots at Gragg'Dvorak." "Gragg'Dvorak asks, what blue rat means with gifts and why blue rat makes tests for Gragg'Dvorak and ratty doctor." Edited by Jorry Potsie, Sat 18 Mar 2017 09:22:04.

"You came to a lair of the Cult of Tzaar, and seek an audience with our glorious leader without being tested, and without bearing tribute for him?" A pair of Skaven, dressed just like the first, stepped out from the tunnel behind him. "These two will show you to your waiting chambers, if you can provide them with the appropriate gift. The Cult of Tzaar may have tasks for you, should your tribute and sacrifice prove suitable." The rat smiled and withdrew, and the two rats beckoned them both forward into heresy... behind them, the flames in the room went out. They could go forward... or retreat. They had one last chance to leave, if they so chose. |

"Amnotahereticamnotahereticamnotahereticamnotahereticamnotaheretic" muttered Tekris underbreath as he followed the two rats, deciding that while he wanted to leave, he also wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery and protect the pub he liked so much. |
