Ashram didn't really feel like exploring a silly island. He had more important things to do. Like trying to finish his project so he could get more bombs made. Then when those asshole pirates returned he could make them suffer. Which would undoubtedly be fun. So Ashram went below deck to his lab so he could do his work. He was gonna focus mainly on producing the poison bombs though. They did an ok job of interfering with the gunners which could help the Freelancer's crew in boarding and capturing the pirate ship.

Congratulations you are most like Nobunaga Oda.

Liam had been too busy looking for Selina around the inner quarters to notice they had arrived the island, he registered each floor, hoping she would be around, as he had not glimpsed her in deck, he didn't expect to find her there, anyway, as he was done searching the quarters, he sighed and decided to return to deck, maybe he had not looked hard enough there.

As he walked back to the deck, he noticed the ship was almost empty, when he arrived to the deck, he noticed most people were boarding the dinghies to go and explore, but he didn't spot selina among those people, so he decided to give the entire deck a last quick scan, as he strided across, he suddenly spotted her... She was wearing a swim suit, and a very revealing one too, Liam had a mix or relief and embarassment as he saw her walk towards the edge of the ship... so beautiful and provocative... he blushed when she turned and saw him, waving at him, she was mesmerizing... and she was looking at him... and then, just like that, she dived into the sea.

Liam quickly ran towards were she had dived, and saw she was quite well, swiming towards the shore without trouble, that whole scene had confused him, but at least she was safe, and she seemed to know what she was doing, for a moment, he thought about diving too, but sense came quickly to him, he didn't really knew how to swim, only on a very basic level, and the weight of his coat and blades would surely drag him under quickly, so he discarded that idea from his mind, and he suddenly realised, the dinghies where now leaving!

Liam wasted no time, and quickly ran across the deck, when he arrived to where the dinghies were supposed to be, he saw they were all already in the water, most of them were too far away now, but there was still one close enough to the ship to be able to jump in it, it was a considerable distance, but Liam knew that he could handle it, and began to run quickly towards the boat, as he arrived to the edge of the ship he made a incredibly great leap from the ship, soaring for a few seconds trough the sky, landing on his knees and a loud *thud* in the very middle of the last dinghie was heard, the boat rocked so hard when he landed, that two crewmembers where thrown off the dingie, falling into the water and quickly swimming back to the boat, The rest of the crew inside the dingie threw a glare at Liam, but he could not care less, and he stood up and looked at his surroundings for a place to wait while they traveled to the shore.

(Quick note: i edited my last post too in the end so it could fit this one.)

Alric had since donned a black cowl with an a White Eye on the shoulder since entering the city, retrieving it from one of the Safe Houses located around the city. He approached the spire with his face hidden and was allowed entry by the armored Paladins* guarding the entrance. He entered a darkened room who's only lumination was from a series of clouded orbs hanging in the sky. Having been here before Alric knew that they were the simulation of the nights moon, and when night came they would become much brighter. Suspecting that if the sun had phases that it would replicate that at night. But aside from these wondrous orbs the room had a simple statue in the middle of a man, Liege Alerno Noctanus who started this order ages ago, and a set of winding stairs heading up into the spire. Alric mounted these and started rise though the levels passing by many similarly cloaked members and the occasional Paladin patrolling the stairs.

Eventually after about twelve flights he arrived at the floor he was searching for. The floor was simple. There was a corridor with two unmarked doors at the center opposite of each other. He knew better then to just walk into one and knocked on the door to the right. He heard a grunt from the interior which he translated into an invitation turned the knob and entered the room. This room was huge yet Barren save a single desk in the rear center with a rather elderly and wispy man in the chair behind it. He looked up at Alric who had removed the mask and chuckled.
"letting anyone in these day's aren’t they Alric" he said light heartedly
"You know it, I didn't even have to punch anyone this time" Alric responded with a smile.

*This is not your DnD Paladin this is closer to the 13th century order that protected monks and clergy. They might know magic, but usually not. Most major religious orders have a Paladin order. They all generally get along even if those they have sworn to defend has not. They will not partake in offensive combat and only act if clergy is in legitimate danger.

ooc; This post isn't finished just yet. It'll be finished this evening.

Doogan watched as the groups left the ship. Dammit. Boozelady left before i asked her about my flask. Looks like Debbie decieded to go exploring. Good that means i can get ready for tonight. Right time to get to work. Or to get other people to work. I wonder if the cappin feels like this all the time. All "I'm in charge bitch do what i say". I bet he does. I hope he's okay. Also why don't i have a coconut drink yet? I should remedy this. Doogan rounds up the remaining crew and sets them to what repairs can be made with the materials at hand. Then he heads to his chest and puts the package away for later.

..................................

GROUP 1 or Gary, James, Boozelady and the others.:

Gary took his group south. As they made their way into the denser parts of the jungle the sunlight all dissapeared behind the thick foliage. They found a stream which led them to a pristien lagoon with waters of the clearest blue. The party stopped here to grab a quick drink when the ambush happened. First Gary fell over. many others quickly followed. James went into a spellcasting but then grabbed his neck. The dart stuck their burned and he felt himself getting woozy. Then Jamie was in front of him. Grabing him trying to pull him into the water. Jamie feels the darts hitting her. The poison they are coated with makes its way into her system but she has felt this poison before. Sleepers Delight was hard to come by she knew. The crew it had hit would only be out for a few hours but durring that time nothing magical or otherwise would wake them. She uses her inate magical abilities to draw the poison out of her system. She pulls james toward the lagoon hoping to escape when their attackers reveal themselves. At least 50 of the little creatures come out of the jungle. Its hard to see what they realy look like because their faces are covered by intricate oversized masks. What she can tell is they are no more than 3 feet tall and have spears pointed at the sleeping crew members. one of the creatures speaks in a gutteral form of the common tongue. "You not sleep. You come with us. Or we sticka you friends. You tresspass on our land. You must be judged."

(Your choice you can attempt to escape or go with the attackers. note anyone captured is going to end up in the same place.)
...........................

Group 2 or Brutis, Aru, and Debbie.:

Brutis's group heads directly north (directly inland) looking for a grove of trees that will service their needs for wood. Aru attempts to strike up a conversation with the Orc only to find an orc on a mission says little. He didn't even notice when debbie wandered off. About a qaurter mile in is when it happened. First Brutis stopped the group. In the tree's around them hung skeletons, hundreds of them. Perhaps as a warning. Then the chanting. low at first then louder as if it was the only sound there ever was. It sounded as if it was coming from all around them. One of the crewmates broke and ran a few feet. then he wasn't there. The net trap pulled him up into the air. Brutis roared out his challenge only to be hit with dozens of little darts. The orc pulled them from his body and attempted to charge where the projectiles had come from only to be snared in a net trap himself. Aru and the remaining crew watch weapons drawn. Nothing apears. Suddenly the chanting stops and Nets fall from the trees. most of the rest of the crew is now caught. Aru easily tears though his net and sees their enemy now. Or some of their enemy. They seem to be wearing Large grotesque masks of some sort. Perhaps to make them look more fearsome. But their numbers and spears are all they need for that. 70 or more of the little creatures move putting darts into the trapped crew. Aru charges at his now visible enemy only to be hit by tiny stinging darts. The ones that aren't deflected by his armor or thick hide burn and he feels the world go woozy. he grabs one of the attackers and rips its mask off. The last image he has before going under is of what can only be described as a tiny orc.

Debbie had wandered off with jimmy earlier. She heard the chanting and decieded to investigate. She turned up just in time to see the little creatures dragging away the crew.

(your choice attack the creatures which may get the crew killed, Follow them to see if you can rescue the crew, or go back to the ship for help. Note talking into your tele-pin may give you away.)

...........................

Group 3 or Gary, Liam, and the others:

Gary lead his group west amid grumbles because of the Assasin in their midst. Liam ignored this and was carfuly scanning the area around them for wild animals. As they moved into the jungle something seemed out of place. They were about a mile from the boat before he realized the obvious. He stopped and kneeled down. The path they were traveling through the forest. It wasn't made by animals. the ground was worn smooth indicating frequent use by large groups. He was still kneeling when the attack came. The darts took the rest of the group by supprise. Liam rolled off the path under a fallen log. He counted 84 attackers. The crew he could see still seemed to be breathing and the little.....well whatever they were seemed more interested in capture than killing them.

(Your choice as too your actions. The attackers missed you going under the log and your training leaves you too well hidden to be found. you can attack them hoping for supprize to give you an advantage, follow them and attempt a rescue, or make your way back to the ship for help. note talking into your tele-pin may give you away.)

...........................

Smokey:

Smokey moved into the island independent of the groups. The quiet jungle was much to his liking. Away from the loud ship and its iritating inhabitants. Smokey flew through the treetops. Thinking he would be able to see any creatures that were on the ground. Which was why he was caught unawares by the creatures in the trees. The first net caught his upperbody dragging him almost to the jungle floor before he could think to go full smoke and drift through it. Darts shot out but passed harmlessly though him. He looked for something to hit but the attackers were either using some sort of cloaking magic or were just too well hidden to be seen. Then the chanting. As it intensified it sounded as if it were coming from all around him. He felt the magic settle over him. Spikes of pain drove into his mind. He solidified and grabbed his head trying to force the pain away. More darts flew out and this time found their mark. Suddenly the world went away.

...............................

Raven and Tessi:

Raviana moved through the tree tops scouting ahead and making good progress. She picked up quickly that this island was not unihabited. The trails she could see from the treetops told her that much. Tessi flew overhead scanning for likely encampments but could see little through the dense canapy. As Raviana traveled she found evidence that whatever lived in this jungle used the trees as much as the ground for travel. And finaly she spotted some of the inhabitants. There were so many of them. They were aproximately 3 feet tall and wore large masks and they seemed to be dragging or carrying prisoners. She recognized her crewmates.

(your choice attack, follow, ship. Tele-pin and they might hear you.)

James had been collecting some water, with Jamie laying down and resting, sunbathing for a bit. She had also been fiddling with something in her pocket, but James couldn’t tell what it was. James stole a glance at the lying girl, taking in how she looked in the sunlight beaming on her...

It was then that the attack began.

Several darts were reflected unconsciously by a Mystic Shielding that James magic had put up, but only so much could be done without his concentration, and one slipped through, hitting him in the shoulder.

James felt himself go to sleep before he could do anything, a faint voice resounding in his head, almost in surprise and anger…..

NO! You will not harm…..

Soon, he felt the darkness envelop him, his last sight being Jamie grabbing him.

James saw images flash by, memories mixed and convoluted…

Things of great beings, staring at him, almost studying hi-

AAAAH!

Ah high pitch girl's scream pierced the dreams, a familiar voice, and recently seen memories flash, memories of a girl living a terrible life, forced to do things she shouldn’t do, eventually being warped into liking it, living a tortured duality of life……

Then, those memories fade away…..and then replaced with his own worse thoughts…

Nightmares take over, flashing images of loved ones tortured, harmed, torn, mutilated…

No…no….nooo….nooooo.

James is forced to watch all of this, not knowing if he’s dreaming or living, what’s real, what’s fake, what’s inside his head and what’s he seeing.

((Right then Jamie drops James))

*woomph!*

The nightmares disappear…..replaced by a VERY pleasant dreaming of him and Jamie……. His male, predictable, part of his mind taking some time in the ‘spotlight’.

Its around this time several of the ‘things’ have started to drag him and his companions away with Jamie in tow, watching carefully….

James makes a small muttering in his sleep, and one of the masked things decides to check if he’s awake by poking him with the spear…..and screams as his entire arm and the spear is encased in ice.

“AAAAIIIIEEEEE!”

The masked things stops and all point there spears at James, thinking he’s awake…..

James: “mmmm…that’s the spot….”

…

James mouth hangs open, his eyes closed, obviously still sleeping…

One of the ‘things’ wrapped in strange ceremonial clothing speaks in some strange language, and walks up to James. He takes a small ‘totem’ pole that was strapped to his back and places it on the ground. He begins chanting, along with a few others, and James is slowly wrapped up in some strange vines that protrude from the ground, these vines pulsating a white glow every now and then. (These vines are meant to wrap me up and tie my magic in, a sort of mediocre ‘asteral physical/magical binding spell’.)

They begin carrying James again, but its seen as the things keep a close eye on him, but stay their distance.

What do you think Tesi? Raviana questioned her companion, who had now settled on a branch near her shoulder. They were in their element, were practicing their specialty, and it would have been evident to anyone watching that they were good at what they did, namely because anyone watching wouldn't have been able to really see anything at all. Raviana was nearly impossible to see, and Artesia was a hawk in a forest; hardly an uncommon sight.

I think that we're not fighters, and you know it, she paused, However, we can't just leave the crew.

Agreed. I think we can follow them without much trouble, but it might be a little tricky. Whatever they are, they're not grounded, and I don't like the look of those darts... She trailed off in thought, and Tesi watched the little creatures with her sharp eyes. Who had they gotten? She spotted James, Zero, Aru, and that orc that Doogan was always around, as well as a good portion of the rest of the crew. They had Jamie as well, though she wasn't out stone cold like the others. She dug through her mind, trying to figure out who had come the island and was not being dragged by tiny little creatures. Liam... Debbie... Was that it? She thought so. Artesia quickly shared the information with Raviana.

Too bad they'd both be difficult to find, Rav mused, We're going to have to go it alone until we run into someone else. Not getting captured in the process would be a major plus, she said with a smirk.

At that thought the hawk took off, dodging trees and vines and a small orc-like man... Oh shit. RAV! There's one at your two, she thought frantically; luckily, the small creature was distracted by Artesia as Raviana quickly adjusted her course to avoid it. Apparently, birds of prey were some sort of delicassy because the little creature had tried to shoot a dart at her despite the fact that she quite obviously posed no threat as she simply flew past him; it missed and went, pouting, back to its guard, having just missed catching a fleeting glimpse of Raviana making her way through the trees.

Debbi thought things over briefly. She could charge them, she supposed, but those little men would probably knock her out with those darts before she did any good.

She got an idea.

One of the little men walked a bit away from the others, when an arm snaked out and caught it. It dragged him into the trees. There was a brief rustling, and then silence.

The little man walked back into his group, leaving a gutted corpse lying behind.

A million things am I, and all are but a lie...

Spoiler:

Selina slid gently out of the surf and pulled herself up, shaking her hair dry, turning it effectively into a curly, curved mess. She liked the way it looked wet, so instead of being thorough, she just walked onto the beach to look around. It looked fairly peaceful.

A crab noticed her and scuttled for cover. She gave chase, but it slipped under a rock, disappearing from view. not to be deterred, she snuck her hand under after it, earning herself a sharp pinch.

"Shoulda' seen that one coming." She healed the small welt on her finger and considered the crabs hiding place.

She was rudely awakened from her reverie by shouts. honestly, can we go ANYWHERE without getting into trouble? And of all times for me to leave my dagger and go for a swim. Wait.... She could feel her pulse quickening, magic flowing under cover of her skin. Something ELSE was on this island. Something malevolently unnatural. She heard another group of shouts. Well shit. What do I do?

The answer was obvious. She couldn't abandon the crew. Even if she was just one person, maybe there was something she could do as long as she stayed uncaptured. She didn't need a focus now, she needed focus and subtlety.

She brought to bear some wind element, bringing the noises around her to her ears. There was movement, quiet stalking beyond the bushes. Three at most, and small according to the light footfalls. Probably small animals.

Or not. She dodged a flying dart by a millisecond. two more followed and she had to change their trajectory with a sharp breeze. Too close.

Selina drew up vines from the brush, whipping the creatures out.... they were.... very small. and masked. and armed.

She had to dodge another dart as she charged a spell, but another hit her in the leg. The effects were immediate, and she could feel her mind lull. Fuckleberries. her charging and reaction slowed and the next dart flew into her hair, tangling there.

She cast the spell, and the little masked men were covered in a thick slide of pyrimid shaped sand that melted and cooled rapidly, leaving the little people in thick glass containers, each with a tiny air hole at each corner.

Selina slumped. what did... I get hit... with?... wazza? I think funny. Tee hee? She was loosing it, but she wasn't falling asleep like she knew she should be. Those darts would be poisoned. To stay awake, she concentrated on the little men knocking on their glass prisons furiously. Good luck... 13 inches... little biters... I mean blighters? Fuck! Think!

She felt herself becoming slightly more lucid. Her blood was burning away the poison. Slowly. Useful stuff. She started to feel the pain in her leg where she'd been hit. But she still found her body unable to stand. If only she knew what kind of poison it was, she wouldn't have to wait. She was, of course, completely unaware that the cure actually grew plentifully on the beach near her: a small, scraggly weed covered in soft, bending nettles.

She decided to crawl to the underbrush.

.......

She got there in about an hour, feeling slightly better than when she'd started, and still unable to walk, but mostly lucid.

Well.... If I'm fine.... whatever fine is, and it's my bloods fault... then maybe James is ok IF I'm right about him... unless he got hit with more than one... then he's fucked... OH... I'm... kinda vulnerable here. She concentrated (an arduous task) and made a tree bend down and pick her up, heaving her into the air. When there, she clipped the wind about her so that her scent and sounds wouldn't travel, trapping them near her. She found that her healing magic was unreachable. Probably the fault of the poison. She rested.

.......

About an hour later she wrenched herself to her feet. Time to move.

Aru was dragged along with the others, out cold. What no one noticed however was as they traveled, the ground that his dryad arm touched sprung to life, grass and plants growing over the beaten path.

the sun set a few minutes ago.

"Hello?...Is this thing on?...CAN ANYONE HEAR ME??....if you can hear me say potatoe so i know your ok.....Debbie can you hear me...."

"WATCHERS DAMN THEIR BONES!!"

Trouble looks over at his owner.

"No ones answering the telepin trouble. Thats not good. Quite the oposite of good in fact. Now i'm gonna have to go find them."

Doogan rummages in his chest and pulls out a large package and tucks it under his vest. Doogan jumps on troubles back and calls out to Daniel.

"Daniel your in charge. Make sure no one else leaves the ship. If i'm not back by tommorrow....... You come and you rescue me."

Doogan rides off the ship and into the jungle. Let them be okay. dear watchers let them be okay. Brutis, Raven, James, Boozelady, DEBBIE! oh what could possibly harm debbie? If anyone has hurt my lady i will be very upset. But she's probably fine. Resourcefull that girl of mine. his bravado is all well and good but he still worries for his girl. He heads off after the Brutis's group the one that Debbie had traveled in. About a mile in he finds sighns of a struggle. The tree in front of him had many skeletons hanging from it. Remnants of a torn apart net is found. Behind a tree he finds a figure. It seems to be a tiny orc. smaller than him and the strangest part being not that its cut stem to stern but that it seams to be pulling its guts back inside itself and the cut was sealing up as if by magic. The creature looks up at him.

"Scary lady with you?"

Debbie was here "Yes the Scary lady's with me. And if you don't want me to unleash her upon you agian you'll pull yourself the rest of the way together and take me to my friends."

"gotta go see Great GOD. great god judge you friends. Great God deciede what to do with trespassers on his island."

the little creature finishes putting itlelf back together and throws a dart at Doogan. The dart sticks in doogans chest. Doogan looks at the dart then at the little creature. Then at the dart again. Doogan pulls the dart out feeling where it was intercepted by the picture frame under his vest. Thanks Mama Lowport.

Doogan pulls himself up to his full hight and quitly tosses a timed bomb a little behind the creature "....i'm something of a god myself you know. And if my friends are harmed i will raze this island to the ground. Fire and Destruction will rain down on your silly little heads. For the first Comandment of Doogan is : DON'T FUCK WITH ME AND MINE!" at the same time he finishes his speach the bomb goes off and a small fireball erupts with noise and thunder (but doing little real damage.) "Try that again with the dart and i'm going to burn this whole forest down. Gods don't like it when you throw things at them. Now take me to my friends."

The creature pales vissibly and nods. Doogan hops back onto trouble and motions for the thing to lead the way.

...........

some time later they arive at the encampment. My holy watchers their must be hundreds of them...maybe thousands. the little creature runs ahead screaming "Hoshta! Hoshta!.....Dey GOD is come!" the creatures stare at him and fall back under his stare. They come to some crude cages that are gaurded by at least 200 little creatures. In the cage are his friends. one of the creatures runs to him and as it runs it turns into his Debbie. The other creatures tense and look as if they are ready to attack. he takes her hand and they visably relax. The figures in the cages seem to be waking or groggily looking around for the most part. debbie whispers to him "didn't i gut that little one leading you?"

Doog whispers back "it didn't take so lets be careful here eh?"

Doogan calls out to the amassed creatures before him. "I am the great God of Gunpowder DOOGAN! these are my people. they mean you no harm. I will have them back or my terrible wrath shall destroy you all!"

The creatures shrink visably. Good let them know who's boss

"Realy? the god of gunpowder? I would have thought i'd have heard that one before. Now what do you say oh powerfull Doogan that we come to some kind of agreement."

Debbie is looking over doogans shoulder. her look tells him she doesn't like what she sees.

"Debbi please tell me there isn't a Giant Snake with the head of a Lion behind me."

Debbie looks at doogan. " he's not behind you. He's kind of above you cuz the wings and the flying and all. but otherwise yeah. Catsnake."

"Crap i hate it when i'm right."

Doogan turns around "and you are?"

Liam kept advancing for quite some time as he kept track of the kidnappers ahead of him, he had always kept a bit of a distance not so much because he was worried to be seen, as the trees offered enough cover especially since it was now getting dark, but mostly because the shadow cloak did not mask sounds, and there were a lot of leaves and twigs around, so getting too close or advancing too quickly would probably alert some of the little creatures ahead of him.

Because of this, Liam had been advancing more slowly than a running, or even normal walking person, he knew that there was a chance of another group, even a scout could be behind him if he slowed to much, so he made sure to look back from his path at brief periods. It was in one of these periods when he noticed something, peculiar... He suddenly saw one of the treetops move quite a bit, but he did not heard a sound, and then, he spotted a figure gliding from one branch of a tree to another one, again, without hearing a single sound.

While this struck him as something very odd, upon closer inspection and seeing the figure float towards him and the group he was following, it looked human.. and then, he saw a lot of bare skin.. and.. Selina? Liam was dumbstruck for a moment, he had forgot about Selina ever since he got to the island, in part because he figured she would stay in the sea, or the beach, so the sight of her being there surprised him a lot, and also worried him, tough she looked like she knew what she was doing, she was actually doing a very good job masking her sounds, and by staying in the trees it would mean it would be harder to spot her, the only reason Liam could was because he had a trained eye and was expecting someone to follow him.

As Selina kept traveling across the trees, Liam took a moment to contemplate her, since he knew that right now there was no way she could spot him, as he was well hidden, he felt "safe" about watching her this time, to truly admire her beauty.. and the grace in which she used her magic, even knowing he could not been seen... a little blush crept to his face, he still found it very strange to feel such an attraction to her, and what is more, not being able to do anything about it... When Selina had Traveled past him, he snapped out if his daze and resumed his chase, a bit faster this time since the group had separated their distance for quite a bit.

After a few moments, he noticed the group had stopped moving, and so did Selina, actually, he could not see her anymore, as it seemed she had either moved away from there, or used a spell to hide herself, either way, as Liam approached, he found himself dumbstruck once again, this time not by her, nor by the fact he had found the main encampment of the creatures, but because of the huge and strange serpent-like flying creature that was floating in the middle...
