"Yet you have seen something and it frightens you. What is it? What is it? Does it threaten the Doctor or all of us?"
The young girl stammers, begins to answer, but then the door is crushed apart and a large - ogre (?) falls through, landing on the splinters, raising himself onto one elbow. He shouts - he almost screams.
"Master! She knows! The queen knows!"
Only now, as do some of you see the broken haft of what must be a spear, imbedded in his back. As he speaks, blood and mucus spurts from his nose and mouth, and when he falls face first, you learn what ogre entrails look and smell like, as they spill from the angry wound in his back.
Eolthala somersaulted backward to get out the way when the ogre first hit the floor, then stood and surveyed the situation. She seemed torn between an urge to help the fallen ogre, and a desire to get as far away as possible from those who had hurt him.
ReplyDelete'What on earth is going on?' screams Emma. 'What are we doing in this mad house?'
ReplyDelete[[A quote from a recent "hidden note" that I shared with one of you: Already you guys are changing my storyline - which is what's so exciting about RPGs. Not even the GM really knows what's going to happen!

"Gott In Himmel" cries the Doktor, jumping up. He surveys the wounded being on the floor for any evidence that he might help it, while he also tries to activate his arm and eye. His main impulse is to help the injured creature here, and his own safety is secondary.
ReplyDelete"Just where have we been landed?" L'wisz cries out. "Is the corpse there on our side or was he planning on trying to spear us?"
ReplyDeleteHDVK percieves that there is naught he can do to help the Ogre, and he tries to gather his wits despite the spinning in his head, and see if he can make out where the threat is here- who killed the Ogre, and where in heck are they now? He prepares to make an effort to defend himself and his companions.
