IHMN is correct.

Perhaps for some of the more dialouge-heavy stuff, thumbnails can be used?

Ravashak · 08-08-2010, 09:45 AM

That would take excessive typing, I'd stick to the pics for Thaddius' sanity's sake xP

Flarecobra · 08-08-2010, 12:16 PM

Thad? Sanity?

Thad has no sanity.

Ravashak · 08-08-2010, 01:00 PM

That... is a very good point

It would solve the issue of being unable to have more than one update per 10-post page, though.

Thadius · 08-08-2010, 11:35 PM

Me? Sanity? From what bizzaro world are you all from? Even considering that I might have any of that left is a sign that you're from a completely different universe.

And I'm not changing image hosters. I mean, unless you all LIKED the 'bandwith exceeded' thumbnail. I could go back to photobucket if that's what you all want to see.

Anyway, update is played out. Give me a day or so to get it all worked out as to how to properly divide it up...

(Yes there are that many images.)

Bumping this thread for great justice and buttkicking.

RobinStarwing · 08-09-2010, 09:36 PM

Where there is justice! There must be kicking of butt! ONWARD!

Thadius · 08-10-2010, 03:03 AM

I felt...something weird in the fabric of reality. Was that your doing?

Eh, I was optimizing and condensing everything that was lying around. I was bored. Anyways, the public demands action, Mary.

...You're planning something to sate them and yourself, then. Will I enjoy it?

Yes indeed you will. I had a look and you're close to another level. I think I know what you're going to get.

Oh if I were evil I would be laughing right now.

First though, the city cries out for your touch.

Then let's do this.

Sadly, 'doing this' requires you to be accosted by random people before you can do random tasks.

And occasionally the people who give these tasks are very long winded.

Very...

...VERY...

Long winded.

The horrible part is that I'll have to talk to him again for my reward.

Here's something more up to your tastes, then.

Simple retrieval. If I practice, I could be able to send the body through his door on its own power.

Say, is that Ellimenster behind you?

What? No, I don't see any-

*Yoink*

...What was that about?

Practicing my thievery. Nice necklace, huh?

Say, is that Drizzit in the other room?

He's here? Oh I must go practice my-

*Steal* Man people should not be wearing such nice things. It's like a blatant magnet to me!

Not that I'm against killing thieves that are not Imoen, but is there a reason for this?

When all their best men are dead, they'll become desperate for new help.

...You're a cold monster.

Here, this'll take your mind off of me. Monster to slay!

Well that sounds promising.

There must be something we can do for him!

No, not even Jaheria at her peak could cure this. The only option is to do it as intended.

Hey here's an idea. Cast a Silence spell on Minsc.

I'm considering it more each day...

Very old joke. Really. I've heard of it.

Well if this is not the warehouse with a basilisk running amok in it, then that leaves the one next door...

And Minsc and Kahlid make short work of it once they've drunk the appropriate potions. Also, level up time for half the party.

Fireball. I have the ability to cast a fireball now. Oh I love this so very much words cannot describe it!

Moving quickly onwards...

First we deal with the delusional...

Before coming face to face with the invisible again. Of note is the fact that the bounty has gone up quite a price, not many could pay that amount.

I'm not a courier service, you know.

You learn one little fireball spell and suddenly the world has to bow down to your whims.

Seriously, what's the reason for killing them all?

You'll find out, I refuse to let you leave this city until you've turned over every stone imaginable.

Such as this one! Our dear friend the merchant has indeed stumbled into something sinister and you will need to find out what shortly.

Why do I get the feeling this is something you might plan?

Oh please. I wouldn't consort with this sort of evil.

I was unaware you still made divisions between sorts.

Touche.

These guys must be really dumb if even you can lie to them.

Well at least someone around here has a brain. Send Imoen out to 'find' things that he might be interested in reading.

Imoen, take a look around, please?

Already did, and I'm pretty sure he won't like it...

Oh please, Dopplegangers aren't real. They're like the boogyman and what was that noise-

OH SWEET GODS ABOVE!

Meet the ~~Spy~~ Doppleganger! There are usually good indications as to when you'll encounter one, and the normal types aren't dangerous. Not with Minsc around. The ones we'll meet eventually? Oh I hate them with a passion that outshines the stars. Going upstairs to the 'party'...

Reveals exactly what you would expect: People that try to kill you, fiery death, and no cake. The party was a lie.

DIEDIEDIE!

Moving on, once the building is clear of the shapeshifting fiends...

We get a blade that makes Kahild THE weapon of choice against dopplegangers. Why?

Because it becomes the +3 weapon of kickass in the presence of Shapeshifters!

Paranoid much?

Oh dear, a war. I do hope they don't start drafting adventuring parties like yours. That would be the smart thing to do.

Oh, by the way, how am I supposed to get back out?

I would imagine the same way you got back in. But in any case, it's not my problem.

He wants this cloak. MY cloak. The one that makes me devilishly attractive and can enchant people to do whatever I want.

Don't worry, I'll get you another one! A better one! But you're right, we should hold off on turning yours in until we have the replacement.

Well at least he did SOMEthing before he turned into Ankheg-

NEXT trivial task if you please.

This could be interesting.

Sure, if you find stepping carefully around the feet of gods, interesting.

We'll get to that soon enough.

His life is at stake now!

What about that replacement cloak?

Five minutes.

Very nicely done. And now, to the magic shop!

The best four words in Common tongue ever spoken in the same sentence.

Well whaddya know. The jewelery does serve a purpose after all. Interesting note, he NEVER gave me a cloak. I don't know why...

This, however, is not a lie. It is a very nice cloak, and it's a straight-up replacement for Algernon's cloak.

Ta-da! Just the same, with the exact same abilities.

While the level I got was reward enough, I've not turned down any gold yet.

Eh, kid seems to be used to his paranoid mom, I say let him be.

I question why he wanted this one. And then I stop questioning.

No really ma'am you don't need to is that necklace magical?

Another toy for Dynaheir. I mean, it's nice, but it's hardly a ring of wizardry.

Oh you poor thing. Imoen?

On it.

Well that was nice of you.

Did you see another good-aligned thief around?

Point. Onwards, then, to glory and riches!

This is hardly glorious.

It will be in about ten seconds. That should be how long it will take Minsc to gib him.

You win on a technicality.

Hey you know that thing where Minsc opens his mouth and words come out? You should stop him from doing that.

Minsc, were you even thinking?

Evil mage invite Minsc into tower. Minsc climb tower and kick evil butt. Much laughter to be had all around!

Holy shit did he just come up with a viable plan?!

There are some kinks, but yes, I think the world is ending.

It can't end yet, Jaheria is still breathing. Quick, do something to take my mind off of things.

Hey if you haven't caught on to the Plot by now you might be Minsc.

Not a problem right?

Not with your meatshields, no.

The only problem is in getting full payment, but eh, you'll live.

Whelp, more kids are in danger. Who you gonna call?

Me, apparently.

We could have chosen to outsmart him, but we didn't. Why?

As with many fights that could go either way, the reward is gauntlets! Pretty nice ones, as well.

Another optional fight later...

I officially become scared of Kahlid as he dons the gauntlets that let him lift things and hit like a freaking train.

I do believe the technical term for what happened to this man in the next five seconds is 'He was Minsced.'

This is slightly ominous. I suppose someone wants this, so I better take it. Can we get back to saving children, now?

Better?

A bit.

Man you are just-

-tossing all your hard-earned cash away.

I've got thousands, what ELSE will I do with it?

And so, the Lady Tymora rolled her dice...

And lo, the boy lives again! Although he may wish he wasn't.

More berating later...

We get a very nice reward! What is it?

Okay can anything seriously hit Kahlid at this point?

I'm starting to doubt it.

Oh this promises to be interesting.

You can't feel 'fine,' your arm's off!

No it isn't!

You'll be stone dead in a moment!

I feel fine! I think I'll go for a walk!

At least let me try a Dispell on you!

I feel happy! I feel happy!

Look, would you leave the invalid and come with me for a moment?

What is it?

I have a cunning plan.

This does not bode well for me...
