Game: Great minds think alike (Part II)

MG drops his flindbars to his feet as gravity pulls his massive weight down until he is on his hands and knees sobbing.

"I didn't know.......I'm sorry, I thought you we're fiend...... I didn't know......."

*Blackthornes reacts to the thing, backing up until he hits a wall*
"I wanted to name you, honest. I didn't because I was told not to, and not to let my guard down to you. I completely agreed with that. Finding a puppy, in the middle of the abyss, you have to admit, that is a little odd. How did you get here? I was so worried when we got to the door and I couldn't find you. Please let Ian go, please? If you want, I am sure we could find a way to bring you back to life when we get to Sigil. I wouldn't mind taking you on as a companion."
OOC: Diplomacy check to try and sway him back to my side, or at least part of the way there.

Saath stands beside the creature's corpse, weapon at the ready, but unsure of what to do.

Bad shinies after all huh. Solve somethin'? Bloody Guvner, that's no help at all!

Saath desperately looks around the room for anything remotely useful while Azure tries to reason with the... whatever it is.

OOC: Spot check if it's needed: 20+7=27
Who is not standing inside the room right now?

"I love how I am being punished for not being stupid, and thinking you were just a dog. I really do."

Ian looks up at the group and closes his eyes.
"Saath, if this goes badly I'm leaving you in charge."

Fort save: 11 + 4 = 15 (Hooray!)

Ian closes his eyes, and attempts to Shadow Jaunt.

[OOC Azure was still outside the room, right by one side of the door]

"Normally I'd say 'if thou can do anything that might work', but I honestly think thee a berk, Day-Elf." Azure sneers, but then whispers, "However, thou art probably the only one of us who this thing isn't mad at, so an action by thee may have a better chance of success. Take this, scoop up the being if thou can, and re-fold it. If successful, my regard for thee will greatly increase." Azure takes his portable hole from his pocket and unfolds it, then hands it to Encharma.

[slight of hand in handing off the hole unnoticed = 10, why do I keep trying things I've no skill points in?]

Azure Twilight will then try to get the thing's attention again. "So, Little Guy ... heh, seems like Blackthornes named thee after all. What I want to know is, why keep trying to justify thy murderous intent? Why aren't thou unappologeticly vile and murderous like the rest of the demons? Dost thou hope to feed of our guilt? For I've none. I knew finding a 'helpless' pup in demonholme was suspicious. My only regret is that I'm hungry again, for trail rations havn't the nourishment of a meal of roast dog."

Azure watches in disbelief as Encharma expertly leaps past the attacking ball of energy and scoops up the dead dog-monster.

"Fool." he curses himself as much as Encharma.

Saath recalls the slight pulling sensation when the ball charged and entered Naruk's body, then tentatively tries to pull whatever that sensation came from back toward himself.

Though he gets distracted when Encharma gracefully jumps and rolls toward the corpse Saath is standing beside.
He stares at Encharma shoving the corpse into the hole. 'Oy... What are you doing?'

OOC: You gave me the thorns, I don't know what they do for damage.

Saath gasps, and shakes his head to get his mind back to the situation at hand.

Taking Naruk's mental hint, Saath calls to the incorporeal creature: 'Hey, you! You speak of guilt and caring, but have you even taken a look at what you're doin' now?! You nearly killed Ian, did he ever try to kill you? No! He might not have taken kindly to your presence, but the blood restrained himself. I cannot say the same fer you!'
'Even now, you're causing great pain to Naruk which he did not deserve! The poor sod was kind to you, and this is how you repay him? By killing him?'

Saath slowly walks toward Naruk in who the sphere resides.

'And how DARE you treat him like that?!' Saath points to the Masked Gnoll. 'That is the kindest gnoll basher you'll ever meet. Didn't he love you and take you in, treating you like the adorable puppy that you resembled? Then you suddenly take on the guise of a monster that wouldn't think twice about tearing apart the puppy of before, and attack us. Unprovoked! Ofcourse that monster had to be killed! He protects the innocent from that which you have become: a vicious creature no different from the 'ri that infest this thrice-damned Abyss.'

'Now leave us be and reflect on what you've done. Not even the archons of the Mountain would forgive ye.' Saath crosses his arms and sternly stares at Naruk.

Tears swell in the gnoll's eyes from behind his mask as he cries....

"I didn't mean any harm, I thought you were a monster who killed my canine friend. Had I known......"

The hulking creature goes silent as he falls down to his knees, sobbing like a child into his paws...

'Now look at what you did, you made him cry!' Saath says and walks over to MG. He kneels beside him and pats him on a burly shoulder.

' 'S not your fault, cutter.' Saath says to MG, then to the entity:
'It's the hate 'n intent to kill of the Abyss itself that ye picked up on, not us. If anything the Masked Gnoll delayed your change into what you have become. And yet you attack him. You've become a true Tanar'ri!'
He says Tanar'ri like it's the worst insult imaginable.

Encharma will look about as if he knows nothing of what is going on

"I dont think we need to worry of this accursed beast any longer for it knows that as a group we will prevail, no matter what it takes."

Encharma's eyes begin to grow bright green

Encharma readies an attack (just in case) and if nothing happens after 2 minutes he will release the glow in his eyes.

OOC: Does anything change from Ian's perspective in the Shadow Abyss?

"Naruk are you in need of healing?"

If so Encharma will walk towards Naruk and will cast cure moderate wounds

OOC: CMW = thirteen life, naruk gains 13 life

"Guilt? Surely in such a place as this, it must have been starved, for the guilty are many but those that feel guilt, few indeed."

Azure enters the room. He walks up to Encharma, and smiles pleasently, "Might I have my item back now, good sir?"

encharma turns to look at Azure as if shocked at the question,

"oh yeah i totally for got that i had your portable hole."

Encharma hands the item back

Encharma looks around and says,

"i think perhaps we should move on, because if we dont that dirty magic user probably capture us, and i dont like being captured!"
