School House Rumble, Part 1: Arcadia, school of Old

[GrampaGen]

"Oh great," Kekowa said as he put his hand on his face, he took it off and said "OK Nat, Xellos you wanna handle this one?"

Natalie exchanged looks with Xellos, then looked over to Kekowa. She was about to raise her voice to speak when Ramus spoke up



Ramus raised his hand. "I feel like dealing with it...I want to do something."

"...are you sure?"

[FalconX2000]

Natalie exchanged looks with Xellos, then looked over to Kekowa. She was about to raise her voice to speak when Ramus spoke up




"...are you sure?"

Xellos moved closer to Natalie, staff in hand just in case. The spirit didn't seem to be hostile at the moment though.

"Can you sense anything about it?"

He asked softly.

[GrampaGen]

Xellos moved closer to Natalie, staff in hand just in case. The spirit didn't seem to be hostile at the moment though.

"Can you sense anything about it?"

He asked softly.

"No, I couldn't even sense it before it manifest itself! This is an ancient magic for sure, ja?"

[Froggy]

Natalie exchanged looks with Xellos, then looked over to Kekowa. She was about to raise her voice to speak when Ramus spoke up




"...are you sure?"
"now that you ask......yes. I'll need you guys to be my lifelines though ok?

[Kholdhearted]

Henry groaned, shaking his head he stirred in Sirus' arms. His head felt like it had been in a blender.

"S-Sirus?"

Sirus, startled at Henry's awakening looked down "Hey bro, you ok?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

"I'm the wrong person to ask because I'm not even sure myself. Perhaps Natalie could explain."

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

I ask again, who wanders these desolate ruins, and what is your purpose?


The spirit ignores Daichi's response as it seems Ramus has volunteered to answer.

[FalconX2000]

"now that you ask......yes. I'll need you guys to be my lifelines though ok?

Xellos gave him a thumbs up.

"You want to be a millionaire."

[Eternal Torment]

"No, I couldn't even sense it before it manifest itself! This is an ancient magic for sure, ja?"

"Are you saying that it hid its presence using magic?" Alexia asked.

[GrampaGen]

"now that you ask......yes. I'll need you guys to be my lifelines though ok?

Natalie shrugged, and placed a hand on Ramus' shoulder to assure him.

"Just be honest, ja?"

[GrampaGen]

"Are you saying that it hid its presence using magic?" Alexia asked.

"No, not quite like that...perhaps it is the magic."

[Chou Blaster]

"now that you ask......yes. I'll need you guys to be my lifelines though ok?



" Yeah man we got your bakc, now yo ugot to answer the questions! And od no tpiss it off!"

[GrampaGen]

Henry groaned, shaking his head he stirred in Sirus' arms. His head felt like it had been in a blender.

"S-Sirus?"

Sirus, startled at Henry's awakening looked down "Hey bro, you ok?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

"I'm the wrong person to ask because I'm not even sure myself. Perhaps Natalie could explain."

Ramus having volunteered, Natalie moved back into the crowd, towards the Savage brothers.

"Oh, Henry is awake! Welcome back! Yes, I am afraid you had suffered a psychic episode..."

[Eternal Torment]

"No, not quite like that...perhaps it is the magic."

"A magical guardian? But...wouldn't it have degraded by this point? Or is magic more resistant to time than we think?"

[Froggy]

I ask again, who wanders these desolate ruins, and what is your purpose?


The spirit ignores Daichi's response as it seems Ramus has volunteered to answer. "that'd be me!" Ramus said, putting his hand up to show the spirit where he is

Xellos gave him a thumbs up.

"You want to be a millionaire."

Natalie shrugged, and placed a hand on Ramus' shoulder to assure him.

"Just be honest, ja?"

" Yeah man we got your bakc, now yo ugot to answer the questions! And od no tpiss it off!"

thank you guys, and don't worryh, i'm not stupid. "What you got for me, o mighty spirit?

[Tami]

"Its alright Tamiko, I understand" Justin said as he sat down for Tamiko to heal his rib. Relieved as he didnt like that idea of going through the rest of the test with a cracked rib.

I ask again, who wanders these desolate ruins, and what is your purpose?


The spirit ignores Daichi's response as it seems Ramus has volunteered to answer.

Though noticing the spirit, Tamiko chooses to let the others handle it. Making the same healing hand signs she used before, Tamiko places her glowing hands on Justin's side, focusing her energy on healing him.

[GrampaGen]

"A magical guardian? But...wouldn't it have degraded by this point? Or is magic more resistant to time than we think?"

"Spirits and essences were the subject of millenia of studying, Alexia. Not even we Zeitgeist Sisters, who commune with and offer mortal service to them, know everything of their exact natures...that being said, magical bodies do not fade away," Natalie explained, the decaying ruins of the cityscape seeming to contrast the point.

[kain5252]

Though noticing the spirit, Tamiko chooses to let the others handle it. Making the same healing hand signs she used before, Tamiko places her glowing hands on Justin's side, focusing her energy on healing him.

"After seeing insanely powerful teachers. Lycans, easily irritated forests vines, and a couple of spirits already. This isnt anything new is it?" Justin asked Tamiko quietly. Making sure the spirit didnt hear him as his rib started to feel better.

[Yun Lao]

He watched the spirit, musing over what her life must have been like before death.

[FalconX2000]

"that'd be me!" Ramus said, putting his hand up to show the spirit where he is







thank you guys, and don't worryh, i'm not stupid. "What you got for me, o mighty spirit?

"Give her your name and our purpose. A test from our teachers: getting the idol,"

Xellos hissed

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"that'd be me!" Ramus said, putting his hand up to show the spirit where he is







thank you guys, and don't worryh, i'm not stupid. "What you got for me, o mighty spirit?


You who wander these ruins, I am Sephitheria, Grand Magus to King Alcanor and Queen Sarahis. Though long has it been since Xanadu fell, and long since my own demise, still I protect it from those who would sack and burn and destroy. I ask again, what is your business here?

[Tami]

"After seeing insanely powerful teachers. Lycans, easily irritated forests vines, and a couple of spirits already. This isnt anything new is it?" Justin asked Tamiko quietly. Making sure the spirit didnt hear him as his rib started to feel better.

Concentrating on keeping the spell active, Tamiko remained quiet. After a time, she looked up at Justin, "How does it feel?" Unable to tell on her own how well her healing spell was working.

"Alright, maybe not the idol bit then. She might think its sacking, and I'm not sure if she'd be wrong."

Xellos whispered.

[kain5252]

Concentrating on keeping the spell active, Tamiko remained quiet. After a time, she looked up at Justin, "How does it feel?" Unable to tell on her own how well her healing spell was working.

Justin smiled as he stretched his side. "It feels great Taminko, thanks alot. I owe you one from now on".

"Whatever you do, don't say it's to sack, burn and destroy," Rhia whispered to Ramus.

[Kholdhearted]

Ramus having volunteered, Natalie moved back into the crowd, towards the Savage brothers.

"Oh, Henry is awake! Welcome back! Yes, I am afraid you had suffered a psychic episode..."

"Psychic episode?" Henry replied, shakily getting on his own to feet. "What happened?"

[Silver Knight]

"Please Ramus answer her for Buddha's sake, I dont want to get into a fight with a spirt today." Kekowa hissed angrily under his breath.

Thats just wont I dont need an enemy I cant punch.

OOC: Grandpa Gen if you wouldnt mind, I need to turn in early for work tomrrow. Gotta work my days off to be off for the holidays. IF its too much right now I can stay up another hour

[Chou Blaster]

"Psychic episode?" Henry replied, shakily getting on his own to feet. "What happened?"

: Daichi shouts;

"THE IDOL! RAMUS WE ARE HERE FO RTHE IDOL OF ORBOROS IN THE SPIRE!!! "

:Sighes about that and looks ot Henry.;

"Yeah, you were bieng a huge jerk, makin gltos of negative vibes, and in turn demons ogt in your head.. And Hunter turned hismelf nito a demon. TO save you."

:it wa snot pretty, but it was the truth.:

Edited:


Danr it appears Frooggy is offlnie, someone wnat to Mod him? (ramus tha tis>) To kepe the plot going?

[FalconX2000]

"Psychic episode?" Henry replied, shakily getting on his own to feet. "What happened?"

Xellos withdrew slightly so he could speak with him, keeping an eye on Ramon, Natalie and the spirit.

"You were infected with a demon. Natalie tried to save you but got repelled. I convinced Hunter to try to use his book to save you but...there were unintended consequences. Your mind is intact because of him."

[GrampaGen]

Xellos withdrew slightly so he could speak with him, keeping an eye on Ramon, Natalie and the spirit.

"You were infected with a demon. Natalie tried to save you but go repelled. I convinced Hunter to try to use his book to save you but...there were unintended consequences. Your mind is intact because of him."

She tightened her lip and clenched her fist.

"But you are back, and Sirius never left you alone."

[GrampaGen]

"Please Ramus answer her for Buddha's sake, I dont want to get into a fight with a spirt today." Kekowa hissed angrily under his breath.

Thats just wont I dont need an enemy I cant punch.

OOC: Grandpa Gen if you wouldnt mind, I need to turn in early for work tomrrow. Gotta work my days off to be off for the holidays. IF its too much right now I can stay up another hour

OOC: Sure, just let me know when you want me to sub in.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Sure, just let me know when you want me to sub in.

OOC: is now cool? if so night all.

[Kholdhearted]

"It would appear I owe a lot to this Hunter fellow, possibly even my life. Where is he now?" Henry said quite solemnly, he couldn't remember any of it but from the sound of it he knew it couldn't have been good.

'I wonder what they all think of me now?' Henry thought to himself.

[Tami]

Justin smiled as he stretched his side. "It feels great Taminko, thanks alot. I owe you one from now on".

Tamiko put her hands down and smiled, "I'm just gald I was able to help." She then looked over to where Ramus and the Spirit were talking, "I hope this spirit understands that we mean it, and this city, no harm." she spoke to Justin, her voice sounding a bit concerned.

OT: Good night people.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: Sorry all, but I'm pretty tired right now, and I have a long day ahead of me. I'm calling in now and heading to bed.


I realize that with what's happening now in story, I didn't leave alot of room for you to play while I'm gone, and I apologize for that.



Hopefully, once Froggy responds and I respond back (in teh morning) thinsg will pick up.


See you later, and good night.:)

[Yun Lao]

OOC: Gotta go as well I suppose. See you guys tomorrow.

OOC: Well, Froggy's offline right now so...

[Ghost]

OOC: Well, Froggy's offline right now so...

OOC: Great, so now what do we do? :rolleyes:

[Chrosis]

OOC: Great, so now what do we do? :rolleyes:

OOC: This looks like a job for... Chrosis! Master of Dickery and King of Random Encounters! :evilsmile :p

[FalconX2000]

OOC: Great, so now what do we do? :rolleyes:

We nail a frog to a plank and burn it. Then take a photo and send it to him via email:evilsmile. This RPG has ground to a halt more than an hour early today.:(

I'd suggest we take over from Froggy and maybe RP that Ramon stuck his foot in his mouth, but since Cleric is gone too we might as well get on with our lives till tomorrow. I should catch up with my work too.

[Ghost]

OOC: This looks like a job for... Chrosis! Master of Dickery and King of Random Encounters! :evilsmile :p

OT: Good night people.

Putting his hand on her head. "Dont worry, Im sure we'll be completely fine and everything will be okay" Justin said in a reassuring tone. Hoping it'll cheer her up and hiding his own worries.

[Chrosis]

OOC: Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! :eek:

OOC: You see... RPG's are just like sex. No means yes. And yes means yes.

OOC: Ah crap :( can it at least be something beatable?

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: What did I miss, ladies?

[Chrosis]

OOC: Ah crap :( can it at least be something beatable?

OOC: Actually, our current area seems to need to be void of any possible enemies to avoid disrupting the plot. :(

[Ghost]

OOC: You see... RPG's are just like sex. No means yes. And yes means yes.

...it's random encounter time! :D

OOC: We can't have a random encounter now! We're talking to a ghost! It's freaking cutscene!

OOC: Ah crap :( can it at least be something beatable?

OOC:

Rhia: Natalie, what does your magic say about his power level?

Natalie: It's over nine thousaaaaand! oO

Natalie: *clasps Selma's face away* Ahh! What about character development?!

That is because i for one am not fighting that damn thing.


Now if it was the late Neo DragonballZ rpg, or th e Sequel. THe yes I would. But not in this one..

[Ghost]

OOC: Damnit, someone give me a summary! I'm to lazy to scroll back!

OOC: We've beaten a very tough werewolf. (We blew it a apart, crushed it under a house, set the house on fire and then chrushed it some more.) Then we ran into a ghost who wants to know what we're up to. And that's pretty much it.

Woe is I.

OOC: I go to the trouble of making a Phyrexian Dreadnought motivator and all I get is one reply?

Geez, you people are fickle.

Its awesome, but I was afraid if I commented you'd make another random encounter. We didn't have enough peak period time left for it, especialy since that's even more awesome than the overgrown house plant.

[Chou Blaster]

OOC: Damnit, someone give me a summary! I'm to lazy to scroll back!

We got to Xandu, ngiht itme came cause we were too slow to pick a path.

A were wolf atacke dus.


We whooped it's ass. (WHOOPED IT"s ASS)

Day came and went the East path, got to a foutain (And close to shrine.)

Froggy was picked o represent us,t hough it was a huge msitake as his character does not speak much, an d Froggy/Cleric are gone. SO we are stuck in plot limbo.

Thanks for visitng.

[Chrosis]

Its awesome, but I was afraid if I commented you'd make another random encounter. We didn't have enough peak period time left for it, especialy since that's even more awesome than the overgrown house plant.

OOC: Nows not a good time, anyway. I might use it later, though.;)

And believe me, there are plenty where that came from.

Maybe you'd like to meet what dragged the Thorn Elemental into shadow?

[Miburohunter929]

OOC Maybe you'd like to meet what dragged the Thorn Elemental into shadow?

OOC: And maybe you'd like to meet Dez nu-

....Sorry, I'm bored and love that joke.

OOC: Nows not a good time, anyway. I might use it later, though.

"Would you like to meet my brother?"

"Would you like to meet Dez Nuts?"

Or, in this case:

Chrosis:"Would you like to meet what kicked Thorn's ass?"

Miburo:"Would you like to meet Dez Nuts?"

Got it?

[Ghost]

OOC: PLEASE EDIT! Unless you're hoping the spirit attacks us for wanting to plunder the place and we all take turns strangling you to death and resuscitating you back to life.

OOC: I dunno. Could be one of them tests of character where you're supposed to tell the truth no matter how bad an idea it seems to be.

[Vakanai]

OOC: Behold! I am back! Woot woot! Wait, what? We're in plot limbo? Nuuuuuuu!

IC: God, if I never see another demon or ghost or spirit after this day, it will be too soon, Hunter thought quietly. Sadly, a very cynical voice in his head said: Never see a demon again? Guess you can't look in the mirror!
Hunter quite audibly said, "D'oh!"
My own thoughts are against me. Damn!

[Miburohunter929]

OC: Stick with it, if they attack us then so be it. Simply more intangible ass for us to kick.

OOC: Agreed. I need to make up for not soloing that Werewolf for you all.

Besides, I like the direct approach occasionally.

"Why are you here stranger?"

"I gonna go in yer city, Kill yer dewds and take Yer swag!"

"...Proceed."

[Chrosis]

OOC: What the hell? Is that God?o_O

OOC: Nah, just your next random encounter. ;)

[Kholdhearted]

OOC: Nah, just your next random encounter. ;)

Which should be God... or at least Jesus or Buddha, c'mon! :D

[FalconX2000]

OOC: I dunno. Could be one of them tests of character where you're supposed to tell the truth no matter how bad an idea it seems to be.

OOC:

Yeah. Thought about that too. Distinct possibility. Though it would be kinda hypocritical that the Atlanteans would use a trick question to make you prove your honesty is worthy.

While Xellos has his own seperate personality, alot of his speech and actions are what I hope I would say and do in these situations if I were that good. Xellos and me both tend to think its a bad idea to put all our cards on the table so early with someone so mysterious.

OOC: you sure this isn't a honesty thing? would you rather I said "we're here to explore and observet he wondrous city of Xanadu?

Nah, lies are best hidden amid the throngs of honesty. I'd have just left out the idol bit and said we were here because our teachers wanted to test if we could survive here, and also for training. But its just backseat driving. You're the one answering, you're in charge (at least till Xellos runs an icicle up Ramons' ass and out the other end, or imagines doing it :D )

Ramus covers his ears "dude....chill i said it"


good night?


The Idol of Oroboros? You intend to make it to the Spire, through the Chaos Gates, past the Sphinx Guardian, and make your way through the perils of the Inner Sanctum, to reach the Idol that rests within the Hall of the Dead?



The spirit stopped, then slowly nodded.


If you can prove your worthyness to me through a challenge of my own choosing, I shall take you directly to the Shrine. Do you accept?

"Should we fail your challenge, what will you do?"

Xellos enquired.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Should we fail your challenge, what will you do?"

Xellos enquired.

Trap you here for time and all eternity.

[Miburohunter929]

"Should we fail your challenge, what will you do?"

Xellos enquired.

"If television is any indication, he'll render our bodies in twain, and feast on our souls." Dean said with a grin.

Trap you here for time and all eternity.

"Oh. So much better." Dean sighed. "I dont know nearly enough stories to make the time pass by."

[FalconX2000]

Trap you here for time and all eternity.

Xellos put his thumb and index finger on his chin and dipped his head slightly. Thinking aloud, he began,

" Hmm, if we really were here for real, or if I look at this problem in abstract, then I would immediately decline the offer. We'd get to our destination on foot eventually, so this is a pointless risk."

He paused,

" However, we have strong astral mages, psychics and even a de...spirit mage."

He looked away from Hunter,

" Should she try to trap us here forever, I'd judge we still have a decent chance of fighting our way out or dispelling whatever curse she put on us."

letting a smile creep onto his face, he continued,

" Furthermore, it seems highly illogical that the teachers would leave us to rot away in this place till we all died of old age. While these tests they're putting us through carry the possibility of some of us dying, they've got too much at stake to let us all just die in such a stupid fashion. Even if we fail this challenge and are unable to free ourselves, we will probably eventually be rescued."

Chuckling, he concluded,

" Therefore, I suggest we accept the challenge. What do you guys think?"

[Ghost]

"Hmm, I dunno," Django said and stroked his chin. He turned to the spectre. "May we enquire as to the nature of this challenge before we decide?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

"Hmm, I dunno," Django said and stroked his chin. He turned to the spectre. "May we enquire as to the nature of this challenge before we decide?"

Two questions.

[FalconX2000]

Ignore post.

[Ghost]

Two questions.

"Two?" Rhia frowned. "Aw, that's twice as many as last time!"

[Miburohunter929]

" Therefore, I suggest we accept the challenge. What do you guys think?"


Dean considered mentioning the possibility that the teachers might figure they didnt belong at Arcadia if by some chance they couldnt save themselves, or answer the riddle, and thus, may leave them to rot, seeing as how there are other dorms and students. However he promised to work on his team spirit.

"Yeah. It'll all work out one way or another."

[Ghost]

" Therefore, I suggest we accept the challenge. What do you guys think?"

"If we are to belive this spirit, even more challanges lie between us and the shrine," Django said. "If we accept, we minimise the risk of failing."

"Yeah, and if we win we won't have to walk so much!" Rhia piped in. "Besides, between all of us we have some serious brain power to work with. How hard could it be?"

[FalconX2000]

Xellos noticed some doubt on his face, so while he nodded in agreement, he reinforced his point,

" I have seen how each of you fights. We are undoubtedly some of the most extraordinary combatants in the world. We are not easily replacable. If we fail, the teachers will find themselves with a void School House and all their students waiting in this apparently easily accesible place. At worst, we will be transported back to the school and be doing double training as punishment. Triple for me, since I'm the one who decided to play chicken with them."

[Miburohunter929]

"You know would what annoy me?" Dean said with a smirk. "If the Teachers did intend to save us, but decided to let us rot for a week or so. Just to see us sweat."

Dean flexed his mighty bieceps.

"Besides. The splendor of my muscles ensures our success."

'"Doesn't strike me as beyond them,"

Xellos agreed. Then he whispered mock conspiratorally

:As for what Daichi di d all this time was this.:

:He sat down and was focused in mediation, as he had his hands out and a sphere of energy in hand, molding it into a sphere, which currenly looks sickly purple.:

Ramon: Hey man, your not seirously gonig to try to tap into the energies here!?

Daichi: Why not? Old and ancient energy is Stagnate, but all the while mor energy to obtain my final sphere. Besides what is good and evil. If not mirror images of the one final truth.


Ramon; Which is?

Daichi: "We are all beasts. Creatures of nature, and ibein gman we are pseical in only one aspect... We get to choose."

:Cue the Spheres in his body and on his fore head lighting up akin to the cosmos from Saint Seiya, as the Sphere in his hand changed, to a orange sphere, as Daichi grits his teeth wit hpain and afterwards opens his eyes, they were gold!:


"Well, I ain't attacking yo uall out at random, it's working."


That was a very foolish thing to do!


Silence old man.. I do not need you anymore. I hav edone what you have, in days, while for yo uit took years


GWARGHHHAHAAA!! :And the psionic conenction was brokken.

"Now what is it now?

Ramon; Two questions, and if we get it wrong, we suffer all etenrity in here.

Daici: Groovy.

Ramon: Man, are you sure your alright?

Daichi: I am fine is all, besides I ahv been thinknig, sometime when we get the chance, I may get into alittle bit of mage training.. Just not right now..

Ramon: Whatever you say, as long you teach me some of your tricks too.

Daichi: Awesome.

:Listens then, as does Ramon.:

Four rulers of the Fae realms and beings there are. Name them.

OOC: Here comes my sad attempt in making Xing's appearance make sense! :D

BIC:

God, paperwork was annoying; simply out of the fact that it took so long to be done with. Now, while Xing did not directly have to even so much as stretch his neck for too much of those messy little details, it didn't help that it just took so long for this whole exchange student deal to be over and done with.

Of course, as luck would have it, when he FINALLY arrived at that Aarcadia place, it turned out that the rest of the students had more or less left without him. This of course meant that in order to get to them, he'd needed to go through what his fellow colleagues did (quite fortunately they seemed to have cleaned things up along the way).

And now, through some gargantuan amount of luck, Xing seemed to finally have found his way to the rest of the students. Once reaching the group (and looking as if he'd been through every single layer of hell), Xing asked in between breaths, "So.... what... did.... I.... miss?"

Actually, Queen Mab is from other sourses then just Arthurian legend, but good notice Silver Knight.

As to what you just said, I'm weaving my own mythos using fictional and mythological aspects of characters. For example, Oberon is married to both Titania and Mab in my story (this story) and the ErlKing is their equal in power.


Really, I'm just combining the aspects I like the best and meshing them as best I can into this story.

OOC: I find the fact that I didnt remember that Erlking was a fairy sooner to be totally shameful. I guess he was so awesome, I didnt classify him as such.

...That, and I thought the question was *Fairy queens* which is why I didnt even think of Erlking until look at the question again. I was also wondering what the fuck an Oberon was. And then, upon looking, wondered why a guy would be a fairy queen.

The Moral? Always double check the question.

It's to prove that you still know the old ways and the old magic. That's why everythin gso far as bee nabout Fae or old magical things.

...That, and I thought the question was *Fairy queens* which is why I didnt even think of Erlking until look at the question again. I was also wondering what the fuck an Oberon was. And then, upon looking, wondered why a guy would be a fairy queen.

The Moral? Always double check the question.

OOC: I did find Erlking while browsing Wiki, but the article lead me to think it was a type of fairy, not a singular fairy entity.

The moral: don't skim wikipedia articles.

[FalconX2000]

"We are ready. May we please hear your second question spirit?"

Xellos continued.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Thanks, for the offer Silver! Why with Kekowa's brawn and Xing's... er.... well, whatever he has, I'm sure they'll make a nice combo! :D



"Ghost?" Xing gasped in amazement, before cocking his head at the man's question, "Ninja? Well, I wouldn't consider myself one, but I do know martial arts. And I'm not so sure if I can say too much about the Beast Fist school. But between one secret school to another, I'd think it'd be okay, right?

OOC: Well, I think I can help you figure something out. Your on here constanly and it'd be good to have another stable poster. Also what of the story/characters have you read so far?

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Tamiko wonders what the next question would be.

The Final Question is thus.


Avalon, Avalon, island where Arthur sleeps.
Hidden away in mist and time,
guarded by one doomed to never die.

Merilyn, Merilyn, trapped forever
within the walls of root or stone.
Betrayed was he, by one or we?


Now, answer me, who guards King Arthur's sleep and who trapped the magus, Merilyn?

[Silver Knight]

Now, answer me, who guards King Arthur's sleep and who trapped the magus, Merilyn?

OOC: OH OH I KNoW THISkinda

Kekowa spoke up finally after hearing the rhyme "I know this Ive read up on this subject, because I was rather found of Arthur and his knights. The umm what are they called, like fary monks on the Island gaurd Merlyn and Merlyn himself I belive was trapped by his apprentice, whats her name..."

[Chou Blaster]

" Well ni the odler Arthur legends. Nimue was the one who trpaped Melrin. While more present day ones, has Morganna Le Fey donig it."


:ANd he knew Arhtur went ot Avalon, but not th emaidens who live in Avalon.:

[GrampaGen]

OOC: Man, got disconnected.

The Final Question is thus.


Avalon, Avalon, island where Arthur sleeps.

Merilyn, Merilyn, trapped forever

Now, answer me, who guards King Arthur's sleep and who trapped the magus, Merilyn?

*edit*, wait, crap, this is right up this witch's alley.

"The one who had granted him his most legendary sword, the Lady of the Lake!"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

The maiden Nimue trapped Merilyn, so you are correct. But, who guards Arthur's sleep?

[Ghost]

"Morgan le Fay, is it not?" Django said. "They reconciled at the end of Arthur's life, correct?"

[Silver Knight]

" Well ni the odler Arthur legends. Nimue was the one who trpaped Melrin. While more present day ones, has Morganna Le Fey donig it."


:ANd he knew Arhtur went ot Avalon, but not th emaidens who live in Avalon.:

"Oh well, I guess I was never an expert on the subject. Besides wasnt Nimue off the Merlin movie a decade or so back?'

OOC: Kekowa is asking and me as well, I never really heard about her untill that Merlin movie with whats his name.

[GrampaGen]

"Morgan le Fay, is it not?" Django said. "They reconciled at the end of Arthur's life, correct?"

"Mein Gott, there is so much diffusion between the old tales and the romanized literature, with many intersecting points," Natalie said, perplexed and further confused

[Chou Blaster]

"Oh well, I guess I was never an expert on the subject. Besides wasnt Nimue off the Merlin movie a decade or so back?'

OOC: Kekowa is asking and me as well, I never really heard about her untill that Merlin movie with whats his name.


OOC: Nimue, was a maiden who served/worshipped the Lady of The Lake.


Merlin lusted afte rher so much he taugh ther all the amgic he knew to try to bed her.

Nimue, was so well not pleased that he did so out of lust and not care, she impriosnend him, for bieng a dirty old man.

[Ghost]

"Mein Gott, there is so much diffusion between the old tales and the romanized literature, with many intersecting points," Natalie said, perplexed and further confused

"I have no idea what you guys are talking about," Rhia said. ^^;

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

You have yet to answer the final part of the question. Who was cursed to guard Arthur's Tomb as punishement?

[GrampaGen]

"I have no idea what you guys are talking about," Rhia said. ^^;

"Ja, King Arthur was King of the Britons, Merlin his magical mentor. And it seems that they were once real. Though...the puzzlement starts at the origins. As far as I know, Rhia..."

Natalie looked around, as to make sure not to offend any British pupils

"...he was actually a French Pagan"

[Chou Blaster]

You have yet to answer the final part of the question. Who was cursed to guard Arthur's Tomb as punishement?


" Morgan Le Fey, his half siste,r with the nine sisters of Avalon at her command."


:And Daichi grins for amoment. a she felt he was right.:


Funn, how they well always kileld he roff in the new age stories.

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Damn, I missed out on the questions. Curse my boredom!

[Ghost]

You have yet to answer the final part of the question. Who was cursed to guard Arthur's Tomb as punishement?

OOC: So, this means I was wrong?

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

" Morgan Le Fey, his half siste,r with the nine sisters of Avalon at her command."


:And Daichi grins for amoment. a she felt he was right.:


Funn, how they well always kileld he roff in the new age stories.

You are both correct and incorrect. Morgan does guard her brother's tomb, but she was not cursed to do so. She does so under her own free will.


With that, the spirit pointed at Daichi, who immediately began hovering off the ground, as if a giant hand had grabbed him. He is unable to move, and for some reason, cannot call upon his ki at all.

You have one minute to answer completely correctly, or I shall crush him and trap his soul here for time and all eternity.



OT: Chou, you are right that Morgan does guard Arthur, but someone else was cursed to do so until Artur woke up again. That's who I want.

[Ghost]

OOC: is that an our "our" time or "RP" time which can be an hour:confused:

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: is that an our "our" time or "RP" time which can be an hour:confused:

RP time of course.


I'm not that cruel.

[Miburohunter929]

RP time of course.


I'm not that cruel.

OOC: I wish you were.

Then as you killed Daichi, I could look at Xellos and go "Somehow, I told you so, just dosnt cut it."

[Silver Knight]

RP time of course.


I'm not that cruel.

OOC: Some times I wonder, its as if at times you drink from Chrosis's Kool-Aid:) BTW am reaserching WIKI for the answer but its diffucult, I expect everyone else is doing the same.

[Chou Blaster]

OOC: I wish you were.

Then as you killed Daichi, I could look at Xellos and go "Somehow, I told you so, just dosnt cut it."

OOC: Well **** you too. If I survive, and when I get my Hado Wave, your going to be my first target.

[Vakanai]

OT: I'm back. The last question was easier, I got Oberon and Titania off of Gargoyles. And I knew Morgan Le Fay guarded Arthur, though I had forgotten who had trapped Merlin. So my knowledge is spent.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Some times I wonder, its as if at times you drink from Chrosis's Kool-Aid:) BTW am reaserching WIKI for the answer but its diffucult, I expect everyone else is doing the same.

Ehh, Wiki didn't have the answer whe ni looked.


I suggest you try some of the links at Odin's Castle of Dreams and Legends (http://www.odinscastle.org/).


Great site with tons more info then wiki.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Well **** you too. If I survive, and when I get my Hado Wave, your going to be my first target.



Now now, you know Miburohunter's humor is like that. He doesn't really mean what he said.

[GrampaGen]

"Oooh!" Rhia made big eyes at this startling revelation. It seemed like the right thing to do.

Natalie detected both surprise and the meaninglessness that comes without prior context in Rhia's aura.

She's so nice...but I wish she wouldn't try so hard sometimes

You are both correct and incorrect. Morgan does guard her brother's tomb, but she was not cursed to do so. She does so under her own free will.

"Niniane! Raven! Oh wait, she was French, Vivienne!"

Natalie was then also picked up and now she couldn't reach any energy either.

OOC:C rpa and I got to sleep now too. Great. Just great. Maybe everyone should get the one hint, or whatever. Because if I do end up dead. (Dead dead) Then I am gonig to be very illl. So ill I willmake life hellish in the RUmbles RPG/Web comic. Still, I got faith in you guys.

But yeah, and if I do die, I wish to haunt them retarded teachers.

[Froggy]

The Idol of Oroboros? You intend to make it to the Spire, through the Chaos Gates, past the Sphinx Guardian, and make your way through the perils of the Inner Sanctum, to reach the Idol that rests within the Hall of the Dead?



The spirit stopped, then slowly nodded.


If you can prove your worthyness to me through a challenge of my own choosing, I shall take you directly to the Shrine. Do you accept? "wel llooks ike you're gonna have to show us around buddY"

OOC: ...When I said I needed to brush up on Arthurian legend, this isn't what I meant. ><

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Well, if you take the hint, you can get by this question and head straight for the sphinxe's riddles (actual riddles this time, not questions).

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Okay, can you give us another hint? I can't find who the cursed person was.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC; Okay, can you give us a hint here? Or is this a trick question?

Alright then, here's the second offical hint (that means you only have one left after this, and three riddles left to go).


The person you want has a weapon in their name.

[GrampaGen]

OOC:C rpa and I got to sleep now too. Great. Just great. Maybe everyone should get the one hint, or whatever. Because if I do end up dead. (Dead dead) Then I am gonig to be very illl. So ill I willmake life hellish in the RUmbles RPG/Web comic. Still, I got faith in you guys.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: ...This isn't fun anymore. :(

Are you sure this person isn't on wikipedia? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arthurian_characters)

He's on the list, but they don't mention the cursed part. That's what I meant. Sorry if that confused anyone.

[FalconX2000]

OOC: I wish you were.

OOC: Which would be rather funny, since you never actually told me so in the RP.:D

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: DEE DEE DEE

"Of Course Lancealot! For his betraly and affair " Screamed Kekowa

The ghost stopped just as she had counter to 2.


Very good. You have answered my questions correctly.


She lowered Diachi and Natalie to the ground, unharmed. Then, with a wave of her hand, transported the group to the very gates of the Shrine.


Our business is at an end, Fare they well, and good luck to you all.


The ghost then disappeared.

[Yun Lao]

OOC: *huff, huff* Damn my busy day! I'm finally here.

"We are at the halfway point now. Is everybody ready?"

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: God damnit. I actually suspected it was him.

I've only seen it mentioned in a couple of versions, but yeah, Lancelot is supposed to have been cursed to guard Arthur's tomb until Arthur woke up again. Sort of a penance for what Lancelot did.

[Ghost]

OOC: DEE DEE DEE

"Of Course Lancealot! For his betraly and affair " Screamed Kekowa

OOC: Okay. I have never ever heard this version before. oO

The ghost then disappeared.

Natalie collapsed and felt her bile rise. Such direct contact by such a powerful spirit made for an incredible feeling of weakness; when she regained herself, she remained overwhelmed by the tension.

"Well Kekowa, this makes us even," she said weakly, before dizzily regaining her step.

[Silver Knight]

Kekowa raced over to Daichi "Whew close one eh?" Kekowa patted Daichi on the back "You cant be all bad if you have reasearched a great warrior like Authur and his knights. I Apoligize for my earlier comments." Turning To Nat "Hey Nat, are you ok Fraline?"

[GrampaGen]

I've only seen it mentioned in a couple of versions, but yeah, Lancelot is supposed to have been cursed to guard Arthur's tomb until Arthur woke up again. Sort of a penance for what Lancelot did.

OOC: And he was related to the Lady...though I never found a version where he got Merlin

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OOC: Okay. I have never ever heard this version before. oO

Yeah, I've only seen/heard of it maybe twice now that I think about it.


Still, I kind of figured he'd of been one of the first guesses anyway, what with my comment about cursed/punishment.


Oh well, this one was my fault for using too obscure a legend.


My mistake.:D :o :o

[FalconX2000]

Xellos checked to make his surroundings. All seemed to be accounted for and uninjured and there were no immediate threats.

"Well, that about settles it. Peter, Kekowa, you're up front again. If the sphinx has a trap, pull him back."

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Which would be rather funny, since you never actually told me so in the RP.:D

OOC: A minor technicality.

IC: "I hate riddles." Dean said with a sigh. " Why cant it ever be a test where I punch the hell out of something?!"

[Vakanai]

OT: This is a new version of the tale to my ears. I knew of the betrayal and affair, but the curse is beyond me.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

OT: This is a new version of the tale to my ears. I knew of the betrayal and affair, but the curse is beyond me.

Well, my mistake. I'll try to find the story/version in the Odin's castle links (it should be there), just to prove I wasn't trying to cheat you guys.

OOC: May I respectfully ask that you make the questions a wee bit easier from here on?

I get up at three in the morning for a reason, and that is to kick ass, not browse through 1300 word long thesises. :rolleyes:

[Yun Lao]

OOC: To be honest, I thought it was Bedivere at first.

"Good work." Wei Levi said, having been quiet for the questions due to his lack of experience in those areas.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: A minor technicality.

IC: "I hate riddles." Dean said with a sigh. " Why cant it ever be a test where I punch the hell out of something?!"

"Because your muscles pale in comparision to mine." Kekowa said as he flexed his muscles. "Ok Pete u ready!"

[Miburohunter929]

"Because your muscles pale in comparision to mine." Kekowa said as he flexed his muscles. "Ok Pete u ready!"

"Only in your dreams, would that be the case" Dean said as he picked an invisable piece of dirt of his shoulder.

[Vakanai]

"Yeah! We got past another one! Whoop-de-friggin-doo!" Hunter said, feeling tired of this. "All these questions are starting to make my mind dwell on the Jeopardy music.

[FalconX2000]

"Because your muscles pale in comparision to mine." Kekowa said as he flexed his muscles. "Ok Pete u ready!"

OOC: Chrosis isn't online at the moment. Can we assume he approaches the sphinx and activates whatever activates?

Very good. Now for a harder one.


This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;

"Of course, why didn't I think of that." Tamiko, shaking her head.

"Don't be too hard on yourself, earthquake is a good guess." He replied with a smile. "I suppose I've just gotten good with riddles since Master Wan at the temples found it amusing to use riddles with his teachings and then watch us scratch our heads trying to figure out what he meant."
