AN- I haven't update this in a long time but I have been writing a lot of other stuff so BACK OFF! Just kiddin'. This is kind of a short chapter…sorry. But it's funny and the next is nearly done also…so read it. READ IT. My loyal, blood thirsty fans…what would I do without you.
BlackSable- I fall on the florr writing parts of it so I can understand…it's harder to write from the floor than to read from it by the way.
Firilya- I'm always at kid movies too…and I'm loud at movies too..I almost got kicked out of The Incredibles. But Jack-Jack is so funny.
ArrowMaker- HotU? Yeah, I should huh, I actually have some ideas already for it.
Guan- Tomi is just fun to write… it's too easy sometimes. Nasher gets his in the chapter. HEHEHEHE.
Fomy- No Fenthick in this one. Sorry. But Daelen gets arrested…you should like that. –Looks around confused- Okay, that's not good but they all get arrested so it works out.
So here's what you all wanted…
Act II Scene IIIGrimgnaw and Boddy traveled across the town looking for the elusive Halfling until they got feed up…so five minutes after their attempt to get some grub at Jamal In The Box… and entered the Trade of Blades Looking for something anything. So they did what any self-respecting monk and gnomish treasure seeker did…they got wasted.
The bartender looked at the drunk pair and knew they had a few too many pints and said, "I'm cutting you two off."
"I'll…kick…your…ah…Grimmy," Boddy said sway in his chair.
"Yeah Bro…" Grimgnaw said.
"I thinks…we need…to hand…le this," Boddy said as he cast a Storm spell (I know that doesn't exist…but whatever) that cause the roof of the building to fly off.
The bartender shook his head and called for his bouncers, "I knew you guys had a bad reputation but…"
"I don't give a damn about my bad reputation," Grimgnaw said as he stood up a punch the biggest of the four bouncer square in the nose, shattering it into pieces.
"Do you hear that?" Boddy asked as the music started from nowhere, "It's fight moo-sic…cool." Boddy said as he pushed over an oversized keg of ale filling the bar with alcohol and he began to sing as he ran from a bouncer…
"I don't give a damn about my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation"
Grimgnaw, after slipping in the cocktail surf, stood covered in foams as a bouncer grabbed him. He slipped out of the grasp using his slick new foams and kick him in his side and sang…
"Hey, I'm cruel…I can do what I want to do
And that's what I'm gonna do"
Grimgnaw quickly dodged a slow hook aimed at his head and countered with punch in the gut of the bouncer. The bouncer was unphased. "Abs of Steel Grimmy…"
"No one calls me Grimmy…" Grimgnaw said as he punched the taller guy in the center of his chest…right in the cartilage forming the ribcage.
"I'll kill you," screamed the bouncer as he broaden his stance and began to focus his energy.
Boddy jump over several tables in an attempt to get away from the big, bad bouncers and said, "Dudes, ya'll can't take a joke?"
The bouncers stopped and looked at one another and said in unison, "Nope."
Boddy dove under a jukebox…way too big for the bouncer to get under. He also knew that they couldn't break it since the owner was still making payments for it.
"Ha ha, you can't get me," he said and began to sing…
"And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me"
Grim rushed to bouncer as he was powering up for a devastating attack. Grim struck the bouncer quickly with two blows to the head a quick straight kick in the abs again. Nothing. He continued his assault. Nothing.
"Ka…Meh…" The bouncer shouted out as his Ki energy began raising to epic levels.
Boddy laid flat waiting for the bouncer to look under the jukebox and of course the dumber of the bouncer's eye was meet with Boddy's index finger.
"Haha…" Boddy laughed at his creative fighting technique and sang out…
"And I don't give a damn about my reputation
I never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only feeling good when I'm having fun
And I don't have to please no one"
"Yeh…Meh…" The bouncer continued as Grim stopped his barrage of attacks and decided it was a good time to find a hiding place. He ran and jumped over the bar.
"Can't touch me," he teased the now glowing bouncer.
Boddy pulled out his mase potion and tossed it in the face of the crouching bouncer and slid from under the jukebox and was meet with a towering bouncer large fist coming to his face. Without thinking twice he kicked the bouncer between his legs causing the muscle ripped bouncer to cower over on top of his companion.
He sang as he ran over to Grim…
"And I don't give a damn about my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
And I'm never gonna care about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Break it down"
"YAAAAAH!" Screamed the bouncer as a huge blast of energy flew out toward the hiding monk.
Boddy quickly grabbed the shoulders of the bouncer and spun him around and poke both of eyes with his middle and index fingers and said, "Take that." The bouncer spun around, bloody eyed to see the figure of the monk pop up from the bar.
"A monk is always prepared," Grim said and pulled out a mirror which reflected the blast back at the bouncer.
"…Damn you…" said the bouncer as he took the blast straight on and blew up into smithereens leaving only his shadow on the floor.
Grim and Boddy clapped hands as they leaned over the counter and said, "We don't give a…"
Out of nowhere the bartender with a pair of cheap bottles of wine hit them over their heads with all his might.
"…Damn…" they said as they crumbled onto the counter…motionless.
XOXOXO
Aribeth stood in front of the three heroes and said, "Guys, we need to get these creatures…check every bath house, tree house, whore house…"
"Really?" said Sharwyn with a raised eyebrow.
Aribeth ignored the comment, "Tomi must also be found… we need the gold for our mission…"
Linu looked shamefaced at Aribeth as she said, "There was no gold…not much any way…Selune told me I needed a new mace so I…"
Daelen shook his head, "Patience is a virtue."
"Huh," Linu said, "It's really good… the shop owner said it was owned by Haggar the Barbarian…it must be good."
"Wasn't he bludgeon to death by his own weapon?" Sharwyn asked.
"I believe that's the tale yes. Why do you ask?" Linu said.
Aribeth grabbed the golden mace and prayed over it quickly. A countless number of demons flew out of it saying, "EEVVVILLL….EVILLLLL."
"Oh," Linu said as she grabbed it back, "We could have been in a little debacle, huh guys."
Sharwyn and Daelen looked at one another with emotionless face.
"Let's go find some creature," cried out Linu as she rushed the door and tossed it open. Unfortunately Lord Nasher was coming to enter the Halls of Justice at the wrong time and was meet with full force of the door knocking him unconscious. Out of nowhere a Cleric casts a 'Bless' spell on him and runs away laughing. Linu didn't noticed and continued to run down the streets of the City Core, mace in one hand and potions in the other…she'd need them. Sharwyn and Daelen decided to follow her at a safe distance.
"This is going to be a long mission," said Daelen as he put his arm around Sharwyn's shoulder.
A guard noticed this and quickly ran over wielding a great sword and pointed it at the two, "Stop there you two."
They did as he said since they had no weapons thanks to Linu.
"Prostitution is an arrestable offense…"
"Prostitut…" said Sharwyn as she looked at her clothing. Nothing special. It was red though…that seemed to be the favoured color of woman of the street. "I'm no…"
"I've gotten complaints about you. I know what you are…just admit it."
"I'm no…"
"A confession," the guard said as he cuffed them together and lead them away.
Ophala tossed the light weight halfling out of her establishment into the pouring rain with one hand as she said, "And I don't ever want to see you in here again. I want my panties back too," Tomi grabbed at his belt, "After you wash them…sick-o."
Tomi shrugged his shoulders, "She must have gotten her monthly visitor." And he turned around he saw the cleric of Selune running full speed toward him. He had to do something quick. "I'll hide in the shadows," he said to himself and disappeared into the shadows right beside the door.
Linu came running and tossed open the door.
Tomi flipped over quickly and his back took the grunt of the slam, "Jeez…" he started to say and covered his mouth.
"Tomi?" Linu said in his direction. She turned and looked right at him but saw nothing.
That was close, he thought. Then without notice the cleric whipped around and hit him dead in the head.
"Damn…" he said.
"I knew I heard you," Linu said as she grabbed him.
Tomi thought quick since he was trying to avoid the wrath of a paladin, "Have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"Chicken butt."
Linu laughed, "That's a good one…you ready to go find those creatures."
"Not really…I'm not into adventuring in the rain…"
"I don't like the rain much either but when it's raining…" the music began.
"Not a song." Tomi said, "This one isn't even gonna be sung by me."
"You just step back and start singing," Linu said and began to sing…
"I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
For love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Singing, singing in the rain
In the rain.
Tomi interrupted, "You never had any formal musical training."
"No…you can notice?"
"Everyone can notice," he said and she finished her song…
"La...
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singing, singing in the rain
In the rain
In the rain"
"See you just sing in the rain and everything gets better," Linu said as she turned around and was meet with the piercing eyes of a guard.
"Ma'am," he said forcefully, "This is a no singing zone…I'm going to have to ask both of you to come with us."
"But I didn't do nothing," explained Tomi.
"We're the piano music come from…nowhere…this isn't a musical." The guard said and lead them to the prison district.
