Gruntboy - holds back an involuntary snicker..!

@Fallout, Tripwire: Now is your chance with Aerie! Hurry before Magus comes back and makes you scurry around like bunnies. Make me proud...

@GB: We really should have brought a housewarming gift. A nice plant, or fruitbasket. We are so inconsiderate.

Now this is the serious backdraw of playing evil... You never can rely on your partners (they will backstab you the moment you tourn your back to them)... anyway, fear and the eager for power and money (that would mean more nymphs, harlots, booze, or whatever)should keep you intact.


(Ubik and both Gruntboy and Waverly are still in the control room of the Sphear. They are all sitting - Gruntboy trying to clean the sh... eh, the dirt of his boots and Waverly just playing with his... dagger )


Ubik: So, gentlemen, it is nice to have you around ...and after that little intervention, we should be back to bussines. I haven't told you much about what we are after and believe me, you don't need to know more right now..."

Waverly: "Yeah, sure. Is that the way you necromancers are doing things? Not telling your associates what you are after? Well, if that suits you well, it's ok with me. Still, you own us an explanation..."

Gruntboy: "...and you better do it quick, cause..."

Ubik stares at them while the red light is jumping off his eyes... his stare makes both his cooperates stop talking and freeze in their positions.

"SILENCE!!! You impatient morons, don't you understand WHAT we are after? You can't figure out that when this is over we all (or, at least, the one who survives, Ubik thinks, but keeps his thoughts to himself) shall be powerfull beyond imagination? More powerfull than any mortal being ever dreamed of! So, just follow my or... err, instructions with no hesitation and you will be rewarded like never before!
And, to it, you shall have the chance to smash the faces of some people you don't actually like... and that is a good reward by it's own, isn't it?
Wealth, power and revenge! Do you need something more?"

(to be continued)

Waverly <nodding off and thinking to himself> Yup, here is the "Power beyond comprehension" speach he was dreading. So I get sent to my death so Ubik can go on an orgiastic power bender? I should feign attention better. <Waverly sits up and looks at Ubik intently>

"...AND, gents, note that this is NOT one of the usual "power beyond imagination" (Actually, I like this better) speeches, it is plain truth and it is what you will get. Our powers are far beyond whatever our enemies could imagine. So, do not fear for yourselves, this will be mostly rewarding, to pay off for the potential, erhm... danger.

Is this ok with you? Having second thoughts, maybe? If you do, state it now and you shall be... released form your obligations to me. Whatever your will is..."

by telling this, Ubik gives a silent command to his Golems. Two of them come through the door and silently stand there, waiting
for Ubik's command.

Several things go through Waverly's mind at once. Thoughts of asking to be released, thoughts of turning Ubik into a squirrel, thoughts of going along and taking the path of least resistance… It never does occur to Waverly that he knows too much for Ubik to release him. Greed alone drives his decision: "Tell me what vessel holds this power that I, or rather we, can wield"

Having chopped up several golems in a past mid-adventure, GB is most un-impressed.

GB - These mindless creatures are little more than lapdogs for a weakling mage. You called us here for a reason, we can act on our own (not necessarily *think* for ourselves ). No need to threaten Ubik, just enlighten us, let us in on it... and then tell us where... they... are!

Good to see this story going on just as our former adventure: With 100's of subplots :

At least it will be fun

Yeah Ive been away ... as you might of noticed the lack of bitching lately... that was me being away. So Yeah.

"Seabass and his fellow companion enters the city gates of Athkatla only to be greeted by a mob scattering the streets. The pair fighting through the crowd cares not about the comotion concerning this phenomenon, but blindly proceeds to the place they've been called to, THE PLANAR SPHERE (dum dum dum, melodramatic tunes). Looking briefly over his shoulder Seabass sees his friend conversing with one of the peasants taking part in the riot. By the look on Serevons face he seems very interested in what the person has to say and is frozen among the people trying to hear every word. Uneasily Seabass shouts to his comrade to join him, and Serevon acknowledges with a wave of his hand, soon after that he comes running towards Seabass, out of breath. He utters desperately "somethings wrong, we have to get to the sphere, something's gone terribly wrong".... "whats the matter friend?, Ubik assured us everything would be calm and as it should be, I trust him, I think"..."Very well, but we must make our way to the spehere fast, its important"... Pleased, Seabass picks up his pace and starts to recognice the shimmering ball over the houses. They'll soon be there, and then they'd be told everything they'd need to know.

Weasel is still sitting in his chamber (cell). He notices that his protectors (guards) where summoned somewhere else. He has finished the three cookies that appeared on his table and now starts to think of his escape plans.

Don't you dare thinking of escaping, your bleeding cell walls and door and ceeiling and floor (everything, actualy) is magicaly escape-proof. Plus, two Juggernaut golems are guarding ya door.
Plus, once we finish with our little... chat, you shall be summoned (and maybe I shall have the pleasure to evaporize you... or maybe not... IF you promise not to betray us - once more)

@Melosh-tar, chill out man. Have fun. btw how is "on the rod"? comfortable? fun-having? Gruntboy wants to try it out

@Goodies: Someone pull the rod out of his arse!

Waverly(To GB): These necromancers get quite excited. Can you say meglomania? <Waverly takes the time to insure his spell triggers and contingencies are charged-JUST to be safe no threat intended>
