NPF Avatars: Because They All Hate Me - Page 9

Ecurt snatched the light axe from MT since nobody else was doing anything. "Pansies," he said, before beginning to make his way down the tunnel, leading the way. "I'm going to leave you guys behind if you just stay there, you know."

And, honestly, that was he completely intended to do. However, he didn't go far until he found an odd little beeping device, and looked down at it. However, he then shrugged after a moment and began running down the tunnel, the guitar held high above his head to provide him light.

Hey...MT didn't say what kind of axe it was.

mammothtank · 01-21-2006, 10:55 PM

"Huh? He-hey, wait up!" MT ran and stumbled to catch up with Ecurt, who seemed to be trying to take off on his own. Besides the fact that he hated being left behind, he couldn't let Ecurt get away - the guy had his guitar. "I still don't remember where I found that glowing guitar..." MT said to himself as he finally reached the aura of light surrounding the axe. "Slow down, willya?! The others are still behind us!"

Truce · 01-21-2006, 11:04 PM

Ecurt slowed down little by little until MT finally caught up to him. Stopping, he turned around, resting the axe on his shoulder. "Well, it's your fault for not bringing a big drill vehicle instead of an admittedly cool guitar. I know tanks are your thing, but why couldn't we have just done it done it like the book and drilled to the center of the Earth? AND WHERE'S MY HAMSTER?!"

Not stopping to see if the reverse wood had had the desired effect, Newb tilted his feet so that he rolled down the incline to where MT and Ecurt were. He swerved to a stop just below them in the hallway. "So are we continuing?"

[OOC: sorry, i'm getting a bit slack.]

[TEAM 1, LEFT TUNNEL]

While the NPFers got bored and even more bored travelling in this tunnel, the hours ticked by. And everybody knows what would happen when NPFers get bored: things start happening. Bad things.

And didn't they pass that same rock formation three times already? Oh dear.

When the NPFers search for the way back, they cannot find it! What was worse, the smell has started to come back again. The Slime Dragons are BACK.

[only 3 this time. Eliminate them, and you'll break the trap enchantment and end up with Team Yellow]

~~~~~~~~~~~~

[TEAM 2, MIDDLE TUNNEL]

"...I know I've forgotten something," Rhiya said after her sanity came back again. She looked around, confused then said to nobody in particular, "... I've taken the booby-trapped middle tunnel out of confusion, didn't I-- ARGHOH@@%@#&!"

The origin of the loud and abusive cry was apparently the newly-collapsed tunnel behind them that smashed down on one of Rhiya's wings. Extracting it carefully, she smoothed out her feathers and sighed. The way back was completely blocked.

"Righto... from what I remember, this will take us about two hours to navigate... Or maybe more if I get it wrong... In fact, the map that Raiden burnt had all the traps marked out should I ever stumble into this tunnel! Well guys," she turned to the few that had followed her, "at the end of this tunnel (riddled with any kind of traps you can think of and more) we'll be able to join up with the right tunnel... Jeeze, I hope nobody went down the left tunnel. That place ends up somewhere smelly..."

~~~~~~~

[TEAM 3, RIGHT TUNNEL]

The only team on the right track, the NPFers that went down this tunnel soon came to a place where the tunnel widened into a massive underground cavern. At the far end, there was a shimmering blue pool that seemed to glow faintly.

However, before they could advance any further, 15 pale, tall, lithe creatres appeared, eyes glowing golden.
"What do we have here, eh?" one of them said, eyeing the motley group over with a lazy grin.

"Intrudersssss," another hissed menacingly.

"You all know what to do then. Attack! FOR LORD WILLIAM!"
Thus, started from the lamest battlecry ever, was a vicious battle against the strange-looking men.

[OOC: once you've gotten them down to 3, they will summon the Leviathan.

Then they will withdraw into the water.]

"Look, I'm just saying," Ilgivan was explaining to the group at large, for the fifth time, "that something weird is going on here with spacetime. If you'll look to the left, you will see a half-eaten tub of ice cream that I passed around a while back. To your right, you will see the large bladed whirling object of doom that I used to shave with. Up ahead a little, you will see the monopoly game that I beat Ecurt over the head with to illustrate the fact that I was bored. I don't know how it's possible when we're going downhill and we haven't gone up at all, but we're going in circles. And what is that SMELL!?" Newb began handing out more gas masks as the slimes arrived.

OmniShadow · 01-22-2006, 04:19 PM

OmniShadow accepted the piece of wood and started inspecting it. "Now what is this? A ordinary piece of wood? Weird, why would he hand me something like this..." He muttered silently to himself as he stood and tried to figure out if there was something special about it. A short while after Newb had left to catch up with the rest he was about to throw it away, thinking it a normal peice of wood, when suddenly he was emveloped in a huge flash of light. 'Shit, now Im screwed again...' He thought, but when he opened his eyes again it was still the cave. Although it seemed a lot brighter, to bright, he would normaly feel pain from being in such a bright place while surrounded by such darkness.

Then he looked at his hand, which gave him a shock. His hand was shining white, and the spiked black armour was now a elegant silver plate armour, something a paladin could wear. His cloak had also changed, while having the same shape it was shining brightly and was now white, the darkness that covered his face, if he had one, was now light. And there was no visible eyes. "This is really fucked up..." He said to himself as he began walking down the path, giving out way more light than the light axe MT had pulled out.

Darth SS · 01-22-2006, 05:26 PM

One of them thought it was being smart by rushing straight at Darth SS, working on the assumption that he wouldn't be able to block it in time. In some peculiar fashion, it was right. Darth didn't block, he just punched the damn thing in the mouth.

Due to how fast it was moving, though, the thing impaled itself on his metal arm. Then two gunshots were heard, and the thing fell off of his arm, revealing his revolver. He holstered it, and tossed his Thompson onto his back. Raiden was staring at the sticky mess on Darth's arm.

"Look! Look at all the water! Nicely conductive for electricity! If one were to put a lightning bolt into the water, why everything would be electrocuted. Were a lightning god to do it we could very well choose individual areas to electrocute, and spare our side!"

Raiden was still staring at the sticky.

"Dude, how are you not getting this?"

The blank stare remained.

"Mr. Rogers."

Raiden screamed, and got back to attention.

Truce · 01-22-2006, 07:01 PM

After glaring at Newb when he remembered the monopoly game, he too noticed the smell and gagged. Grudgingly accepting the gas mask, he reverted back to human (meaning that all his armor and his sword was gone; but at least the guitar stayed) to put it back on. Then, when he was finally able to breathe again, he grabbed the guitar by the handle and whacked Newb with it across the face, FLCL style.

Or, he would've anyway, if the guitar hadn't illuminated something behind Newb. Pausing, Ecurt looked and saw, well, you know, and began to point at it dramatically. "What the hell is that disgusting thing anyway?!"

OmniShadow · 01-22-2006, 07:11 PM

"What? Do I look so bad in white? Of course I do not like it really but I did not think it looked so bad as to call it disgusting..." OmniShadow said as he came walking up to them, he obviously had not noticed the smell, most likely because he did not have a sense of smell to begin with. Then he turned around and noticed the slime dragons heading at them. 'They again? I guess I will just have to... Oh wait, how do I manipulate light?' He thought, now fully confussed as to how he would handle his change. "Alright, you guys do this, I have a minor issue with handling my opposing element."
