Bloopers
Do You See What I See?
As the two new friends Devona and Aidan were walking along, they heard the town crier.
"Monsters! Monsters in the south!"
"Oh shove it," Devona said. "Everyone needs saving all the time. Give me a break!"
"Yeah…fun," Aidan said sarcastically. As they rose to their feet, one of the Grawl started charging at Devona, shouting all the while. By the time she turned around, it had already fallen to the ground. She also noticed someone standing next to it, holding an expertly made staff, one she would recognize anywhere.
"Mhenlo?" Devona asked. The figure turned to show a shades and trenchcoat wearing man. "Neo?"
"I prefer the first one better," the Chosen one replied. Going into a crouch, he jumped and flew off into the distance.
"I'm Cynn," the woman said. "You guys don't know how to give a proper thank you, do you?"
"Again, sorry," Devona said quietly. She studied Cynn more closely. "You look familiar. Do I know you?"
"I live in Ascalon. You might have noticed me in town I guess."
"Hmm. I guess so," Devona said. "So, are you originally from Ascalon?"
"Get off my back woman!" Cynn responded. "First you tackle me, than you barrage me with questions! What's wrong with your manners?"
Me, Myself, and I
Aidan got closer to the cave entrance, and what he saw was a horrific sight. There were devourers (giant scorpions) all around, some dead, some living. He looked closer and he saw that a woman was in the midst of the bugs. Her hair was in buns, gray as a cloud. She wore a purple dress, with blue stripes through it. She also held a staff that seemed twisted and eerily evil. He looked back at the bugs and noticed that they were circling around her, while she was clutching a skull in her other hand. After a second of glaring at the bugs, she lifted her hand up and threw the skull, shouting "Go Adam!" during the process. The skull bounced off a devourer, and stared up at the bugs with its blank eyes.
Through the Woods
"Look out!" yelled Cynn. Devona looked up and saw a band of Charr charging her. Devona quickly got in a battle stance, and she stopped one of the Charr right in its tracks with a blow to the gut. Cynn quickly shot some fireballs into the fray, causing one of the monster's furs to set ablaze. Devona quickly charged another charr with her mallet, and swung at its head. The beast fell onto its back. She heard an incantation, then the shouts of Cynn saying "Duck!" Devona quickly hit the ground, and she saw boulders flying towards the remaining Charr. They tried to run away, but the rocks followed them, and eventually got their target. As the chaos simmered down, Devona noticed a scroll on the ground. She picked it up, and read it.
"Come and celebrate Bonfaaz's birthday! Where: Ascalon City. When: three moons and five quarters past noon. What to expect: Lots of exploding walls and scared humans!
"That's not good," Cynn remarked. "I wonder what they're gonna do."
"One things for sure," Devona stated, "That was just a search party. I saw one of them get away. Probably going to report back to the leaders." Devona clenched the scroll, and then walked off.
"Where are you going?" Cynn asked.
"To get Bonfaaz a present!"
Show Me the Way
As Mhenlo was walking back to Ashford Abbey, he looked back and noticed that Aidan was walking towards a cave, and the two women were running towards the woods. "That's weird," he thought to himself. He turned back around and continued walking, when he noticed a little girl picking flowers by the pig pen. She looked to be no older than ten, her hair shoulder length. She wore a wreath of flowers and had a red cape on. "You know, its almost dark out," Mhenlo stated. The little girl turned and looked at him. Smiling she ran up to the monk.
"I'm Gwen. Fear me!"
Confused, Mhenlo asked, "Why would I fe-" But before he could finish, a meteor shower appeared and started burning down the country side.
"That'll teach you to not bring me my flute!"
"Go…
"Go to him…"
"Go to whom?" Mhenlo asked. "Wait, I'm talking to myself." He turned around and he saw an iridescent lady.
"Go to Togo. He is gonna die!"
The Prince of Ascalon
"Ok. So you're trying to say that the Charr are starting an uprising, and you think it will be soon. If that is the case, it would seem that the other monsters of woods are joining them," Rurik thought to himself, "Well, I must relay this news to my father. Please, feel free to stay the night in the fort." He walked off into a pavilion.
"You know what that means?" Devona asked.
Cynn looked over at her, and unanimously the two shouted, "SLUMBER PARTTAAAYYYY!!!"
Mission Impossible
"Better wake Cynn and Devona. They surely won't want to miss this," Mhenlo said. He walked back to the inn and disappeared inside. Aidan stared off for a moment, and then walked outside to a tree. He knelt to its roots, and examined it. Out of nowhere he felt a chill down his spine, and when he turned around, he saw a skull staring at him with blank, empty eyes.
"Abort mission, Adam!!! Abort!!" Eve shouted.
Path of Doom
"Stand aside," Cynn said. She walked forward, focused her energy, and shot a great ball of fire at the crack. A brilliant red beam of light appeared and disappeared just as fast. When everyone opened their eyes after the flash, it appeared that nothing had happened. "Well, aren't we stubborn?"
Eve walked up to the crack, pulled Adam out of her cloak, and threw it at the wall, shouting "Go Adam!". The skull bounced off and landed on the grass a few feet away, staring at Eve. Its eyes were that of uninterest.
The others walked inside too, and the group congratulated Cynn. Eve slowly walked a little away from the group, peering around a corner that was nearby. She noticed a charr, and almost yelped, but caught herself and quickly went back around the corner. She peered back around the corner and upon closer looking, noticed that the charr was asleep. She sighed, and tiptoed her way to the charr. She investigated him closely, trying to find something of value on him. She noticed a medallion around his neck, and she leaned in closer to study it. As she got closer, she lost her balance and fell onto the charr. The charr quickly sat up, and started snarling. Eve quickly thought of what to do, so pulled out Adam and threw it at the charr, quietly murmuring "Go Adam". The skull bounced off, and landed a few feet away. The charr got up, snarled and walked towards Eve. It accidentally stepped on Adam, and slipped. With the charr unconscious, Eve grabbed Adam and the medallion, then whistled while walking back to the others.
"Why? We're already here. We can take the charr, and destroy them once and for all!" Devona shouted. After seeing Rurik shake his head no, she quickly bolted around the corner and into the cavern where the charr had come from. A faint "LEERRROOOYYYYYY JENNNNKKKIIINNNSSSSS!!!" could be heard.
Big Bad Wolf
Aidan went the last inch to peer around the corner. "Ah!!" He shouted.
Eve rushed over. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just Devona."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Aidan went the last inch to peer around the corner. "Ah!!" He shouted.
Eve rushed over. "What's wrong?"
"It's Santa!"
Aidan went the last inch to peer around the corner. "Ah!!" He shouted.
Eve rushed over. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just some Charr. Looks like Devona died." Shocked, Eve ran into the room and started to throw Adam, but stopped when she saw Devona having beaten the charr.
"You lied!" Instead of throwing the skull at the charr, she turned around and threw it at Aidan, who ducked at the last second. Chuckling, he stood upright again, and was hit in the back. "Ha! I upgraded Adam with a boomerang feature!"
In the meantime, Cynn was still casting a spell, rage filling her eyes. "How dare you call magic weak! I'll show you what the elements can do under a master!" As she finished the incantation, a tremor erupted, casting the floor aside into two land masses. It continued along to the end of the room, where Vatlaaw tried to escape, but fell into the abyssal gorge Cynn just created.
"That was easy," Rurik said. He shrugged, then went to the exit.
Dancing the Death Tango
Aidan grumbled but continued to fire arrows. Cynn was shooting all the lightning that Vatlaaw could taste while the bone warriors were swarming him. Finally, he had enough, and merely mowed his way through. Charging straight at Mhenlo, Cynn dived into his path, shooting an icy spell. "That should slow you down," Cynn taunted, and Mhenlo pulled himself out of cower mode. Quickly trying to regain his cool, he rushed over to Rurik and Devona, sprawled on the ground. He pulled the arrows out, and healed the wounds they had received. But as soon as they were up, Cynn was flying in the air like a rag doll. Mhenlo rushed over and caught her, laying her on the floor to heal. She blushed slightly, and when he was finished, Cynn jumped into attack mode, not wanting to stare at him for long. Eve, upset her pets were destroyed, decided to change tactics.
Winding up, Eve threw Adam with all her might, screaming "GO ADAM!!". The skull bounced off of Vatlaaw, and he stopped, confused by the tactic. While he was distracted, Devona ran up and pounded him on the top of the head.
"What are you doing here?" Rurik asked.
"Well, I was gonna invite you guys to Bonfaaz's party, but now that you guys made me angry, you aren't going."
Vatlaaw slowly started crawl to a cliff overhang that showed Ascalon. While Rurik was busy pondering, Vatlaaw was about to lean over and fall, but Aidan shot an arrow to pin him to the ground. Grunting slightly from the puncture, he pulled the arrow out and went the rest of the way over. All that could be heard was his maniacal laughter, than nothing. After a few seconds, a grumble was heard.
"Why isn't this cliff higher up? I mean really. When we make cliffs to throw people off of, its supposed to kill them," Vatlaaw said, venting his rage. He stood up, and the heroes could plainly see his torso up. "See? If I can see you, than this is obviously not high up enough."
