Molo's eyes bugged out. "Ack! You mean. . .but why?! What would be the point of even sending us out if he wanted to kill us anyway? He could have done it himself. . .yeah, he was a scary fellow. . ." he said, twiddling his thumbs. "You really think he told them we were going there? I'm confused. . ."

"I have no clue why your employer did as he did, but I can sense a conspiracy afoot. And as for protecting dragons.. not quite. Rivans are dragon hunters, so, naturally, they would want to destroy dragons rather then protect them.. perhaps if the Legendary Dragon were released, they are afraid that it would destroy them for their beliefs?

Hmm.."

by **Red Seph** » Mon Jun 24, 2002 11:26 pm

Seph sat silently. This was all very interesting, but useless so far. "Well, I obviously know little of the Rivan dragoons, or their motives. Anyway, this is all speculation. We cannot learn the true answers until we escape from these cells."

"....... and this is exactly why I was about to go to sleep.. before you decided to disturb me. Nothing lost and nothing gained from my little exposition.. so, all we can do now is WAIT."

With that, all went silent in the next cell over, again. There was nothing left to do.. but wait.

Molo yawned. . .then a familiar tune began to creep out from his mouth. . .

"99 bottles of beer on the wall. . .99 bottles of beer. . ."

by **Red Seph** » Tue Jun 25, 2002 9:24 pm

"I warn you," Seph said, holding his arms forward. "Continuing that song for another two hours would be a horrible, painful, idea." As he finished speaking a small flame sprang to life between his hands, briefly bathing his cell in a red glow. He made a pointed glance at Molo, then extinguished the fire and lowering his arms again.

Only moments later, an armored Dragoon walked into the open hall between the prison cells.

"Food's on, infidels." The Dragoon looked among the three, and opened a latch on the direct center of Molokidan's cell's bars, pushing a plate of oddly-colored gruel and rancid-looking meat in towards him.

He then turned to Seph's cell. "Ohh... lookit you." The Dragoon snickered. "Some pantywaist mage. No wonder you were captured, hm?" He opened the latch on Seph's cell..

by **Red Seph** » Wed Jun 26, 2002 4:49 am

"Clever," Seph said, hiding anxiousness behind smugness. "It's a shame all prison guards are not as witty as you."

His hand clenched by his side as the latch began to open. One shot, no mistakes. Half way. Hit him hard enough, knock him out. The latch opened completely. A clear shot. Sweet dreams. Seph's hand flew forward in what at first might have been mistaken for a punch. As his fist traveled forward, however, it opened, releasing a stream of electricity through the latch.

by **Endesu** » Wed Jun 26, 2002 5:00 am

The Dragoon was about to respond, but the stream of electricity interrupted him.

He screamed in agony for a moment, his armor reverberating the electricity and his scream tenfold, before he finally fell to the ground, smoking and quivering.

by **Molokidan** » Wed Jun 26, 2002 10:07 am

Molokidan, meanwhile, jumped the gun and dug into the brown muck on his plate.

"BLECH!!!" Molo said, wretching over suddenly. "This. . .food. . .is. . .HORRIBLE!! WHAT IS THIS STUFF?!" he shouted, collapsing, possibly being a tad over-dramatic as he rolled on the ground in agony. "Oh god. . .make the hurting stop!! Uwaaa. . ."

by **Endesu** » Wed Jun 26, 2002 2:15 pm

As the guard fell to the ground, the plate he had been intending to shove into Seph's cell clattered noisily to the floor, its contents spilling, and a small, brass object suddenly skidded from the Dragoon's 'belt' of sorts, right into the middle of the "food".

by **Red Seph** » Wed Jun 26, 2002 6:26 pm

"Okan! You awake?" Seph called belatedly. "The guard is here." He stepped toward the door. "Quiet," he added to Molo. "It's not poison." Not far from it, though, judging by the look of it, he thought, looking at the mess on the floor distastefully. Still, something had fallen into it. With a grimace firmly planted on his face Seph reached his hand into the food, groaning as he dug for the object.

by **Endesu** » Wed Jun 26, 2002 11:32 pm

.... "mm.. muh.. y, yes, alright.." Okan's voice went from a sleepy mutter to a somewhat exhausted yet awakened voice as the sounds of his armor scraping up into a standing position could be heard.

The 'food', upon meeting Seph's hand, fell onto it.. the mess in question felt disturbingly like several gelatinous mounds mashed together, fried, and seasoned with unidentified hardened... things.

But it eventually gave way, the key slipping greasily into Seph's outreaching hand.

"Well? Do you have the key yet?"

by **Red Seph** » Thu Jun 27, 2002 4:08 am

"Ugh, disgusting," Seph mumbled, trying shaking the gunk off both the key and his hand. "Maybe it is poison..." It was worth freedom though, and he held up the key triumphantly. "Yes, sleeping beauty, I have it. Be patient, you will be released momentarily." He thrust the key into the door of his cell and turned.

by **Endesu** » Thu Jun 27, 2002 2:08 pm

"Feh." Okan muttered in response, as Seph's cell door triumphantly eased from its henges (?), allowing him escape from a cell.. that he had not even been in for very long.

The hall between the cells was as plain as the prison cells themselves. The floor was of a cracked marble, the ceiling molded over with a brown substance that covered its whole. The entire place was deathly quiet, with the possible exception of Molokidan.

by **Red Seph** » Thu Jun 27, 2002 5:23 pm

"Heh, easy," Seph said with a grin as he walked into the hall. "They should have known better than to capture someone like me," he continued as he unlocked Molo's and Okan's cells. "Alright then, we have officially escaped. Where we go from here is the problem."

by **Molokidan** » Thu Jun 27, 2002 6:08 pm

"Yay!" Molo took out and transformed his Chopstick Katanas. "Let's go fight something! I want to pay them back for hitting me on the head!!"

by **Red Seph** » Thu Jun 27, 2002 11:16 pm

"Stop that, that will get us killed," Seph said sternly. "Our goal is to get out this prison, not kill everyone inside."

by **Molokidan** » Fri Jun 28, 2002 1:40 am

"Oh." Molo frowned. "Alright."

by **Endesu** » Fri Jun 28, 2002 6:35 pm

"Alright. I suppose we have no choice but to move forward and see what this enterprising little dungeon has waiting for us." Okan commented, sheathing his lance and looking around the area tensely.

There were two separate doors on both ends of the hallway..

"... any thoughts on where we should go, gentlemen?"

by **Molokidan** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 12:27 am

"Well. . ." Molo stepped forward. "My outright instinct tells me to run straight into that wall over there. . ." he looked to Okan and grinned goofily. "But I've long ago learned to ignore all instincts I have! Thus. . ."

He looked intently on the doors, and then spoke. . .

"Eeeny, meeny, miney, moe, catch a goblin by the toe. . ."

by **Red Seph** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 10:27 pm

Seph would have objected to this rediculous system of choosing their fate, if he had a better way, that is. He nudged the guard with the tip of his foot. Maybe he should have only stunned him, then they could have pumped him for the needed information. As it was they didn't have the time to sit around and wait for him to revive, and Seph didn't want to waste the energy to attempt to heal him magically. He had a feeling he was going to need to hold on to all of reserves until he needed them.

by **Endesu** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 11:42 pm

Okan could not HELP but ponder smacking Molokidan in the head with his lance, as he was just being so... vapid. But, instead, he retained these feelings of anger.

"... I don't think utilizing a random choice system is going to help us anymore in our escape..

.. and as for you, Mage.. if you're trying to revive the guard, I doubt he'll be up for a bit.." Okan kicked the guard slightly. "He seems to be charged with a bit of electricity.. I doubt he'll even be up for another day or so.."

by **Red Seph** » Sun Jun 30, 2002 11:51 pm

"I know that, Dragoon," Seph responded. He took another look around the hallway. "We're just going to pick a door. If it leads upward then we know it's the correct way."

by **Endesu** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 1:01 am

"Well, wise one, why don't you select a door, and we'll see if it means instant death or escape for our humble party, hm?!" Okan stood off by himself a bit now.

by **Molokidan** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 4:00 pm

"Here, here, I'll go first!" Molo said happily, trying to avoid another argument, eventually ending up with him getting smacked on the head.

He walked over to the left door. . "Well, my old friend End always said I was never right in the head, so. . .I'll pick left!" he said, placing his hand on the door and quickly pushing it open. . .

by **Red Seph** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 7:10 pm

As the door began to open Seph winced unconciously. Once again Molo's particular way of acting rashly was going to make the decisions for him. Well, at least they wouldn't be spending any more time in this hall, waiting for more dragoons to investigate the disappearance of the fallen guard.

by **Endesu** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 11:25 pm

... and a simple path leading slightly upwards was behind the door.

A moment passed, and Okan coughed. "Well, Molo, I guess your intution paid off.. this time."

by **Molokidan** » Tue Jul 02, 2002 1:22 am

"Heh!" Molo flashed them both a thumbs-up. "I knew it all along. . .hehe. . ." <.<;; >.>;; o_o

;

by **Endesu** » Tue Jul 02, 2002 1:10 pm

"Alright.." Okan looked to Seph. "Seph.. since you're a mage.. do you know any illusionary spells? I just figured it out... we can take on the appearance of this guard here to make our escape that much easier.."

by **Red Seph** » Tue Jul 02, 2002 3:52 pm

Seph shook his head. "Hmm, no, nothing like that. If we are to disguise ourselves then we'll have to go about it the old-fashioned way." Illusionary spells... hardly. He had always viewed the particular school as deceitful and inferior to the purer forms of magic.

by **Molokidan** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 12:32 am

Molo scratched his head, confused. "Oro. . .I'm gonna be a guard?" He looked up at his two companions. "err. . .I don't think I meet. . .some certain requirements. . ." o_o

;

by **Red Seph** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 1:16 am

"Of course not," Seph said as he looked Molo up and down. "But it could possibly fit me..." he said slowly, scratching his chin. "Perhaps Okan and I can assume the roles of guards and escort you as a prisoner. ...No, I doubt we would manage to fool the other guards."

by **Molokidan** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 1:55 am

"Hehehe. . ." Molo said, apparently thinking. "How's this?! UWAAAAAAH!! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He said, rolling on the ground in overexaggerated pain. "I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!"

by **Endesu** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 5:22 pm

Okan was tempted to kick Molo in the head REPEATEDLY now, but he managed to restrain his anger long enough to think about the idea.

"Seph.. that might just work. Seeing as how my armor is identical to theirs, if I could manage to hide my deviated faction symbol from their sight, and if you were to take this guard's armor, we could 'escort' Molo to the surface after all. But it would take a lot of patience.. and it would require Molokidan here to SHUT UP."

Emphasizing his last point, Okan heaved the sushi-jin up onto his feet. "How does that suit you?"

by **Molokidan** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 6:53 pm

"^_^ Sounds great!" he said, grinning. "Oops, better not smile." he said, frowning, his eyes tearing up a bit. "Am I *sniff* ready now?"

by **Red Seph** » Wed Jul 03, 2002 8:22 pm

"I certainly hope so," Seph said as he knelt beside the fallen guard. "A single mistake and we're finished." He began to remove the guard's armor, feeling rather pleased that Okan had accepted his plan.

by **Endesu** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 12:12 am

"Fine." Okan dropped Molo back onto his butt, waiting for Seph change into the armor of the fallen guard. "Keep in mind that we cannot BUST anyone's heads, no matter how rude they may be to us." He turned to Molo as he said this last point.

by **Red Seph** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 12:42 am

"You know, our chances would improve if we left him here," Seph said as he fastened on the last pieces of the guard's suit. Heavy... he thought as he straightened up. The fit wasn't perfect, but that was to be expected.

by **Endesu** » Thu Jul 04, 2002 1:58 am

"... having a bit of trouble?" Okan snickered as he watched Seph attempt to deck himself out in armor. He looked to Molo. "And as for him, well, he'd probably try and follow us if we left him here to rot, anyhow."
