Okay.

We left the sphinx back at the door; she's mauled Newb but he's okay now. XD

Now we're in an inner room full of petrified trees. The problem is that stone dryads live in said trees, and they're nasty critters. Ahrha posted their abilities and whatnot a few pages ago, but basically they're women made of stone who can curse you with petrification by touching or wounding you (they have sharp stone claws and quick reflexes, too). They can also heal themselves if they are allowed to escape into their trees.

So far most of us are at least partially petrified, and Rhiya and Mesden are completely petrified. Fenris is in deep shit.

Apparrently the curse wears off sometime after the dryads' death.



So c'mon back in and kick ass with us, Darth!

Twice, now.

First time, I nearly died 'cause of the damn voices in my head, the second time because I had to sacrifice my arm to kill a Dryad, and it was petrified. And I accidentally broke it in two. So now I'm laying on the battlefield protecting my stump and broken arm, hoping that there is a way to reattatch them.

That was my T. Telekenisis. And I only actualy killed one.
Yeah, things were a bit confusing during that post. See, first I partialy sheilded the arm the dryad was holding, also freezing it's hand on me. Since I can't move my temporal sheild due to size when it's going full force, I only sheilded my arm and used it to drag both myself and the dryad into the air. It may not have come across well in the post but we were both dangling in the air. Then when we both started falling I steered myself tokeep close to it, then I made a tiny barrier infront of it. Again, I didn't go into much detail with it. It was paper thin, and I was kinda lucky it didn't move or it would have missed.
After all that I was exhasted. All that power use in such quick succesion really drained me. Then there was the blood loss. Those together made me kind of delusional. so the second dryad was actualy... a small rock. (Ok, I was actualy going to finish off the one Muave had started, which I thought would have already been weakened by her magics and paying more attention to where she went rather than who was sneaking up behind it, but I didn't read Rhiya's post close enough the first time, and it turned out it was already dead. So yeah, delusional.)
And then I collapsed next to Rhiya and called out for healing. That thing actualy pretty much gutted me. the petrification helped me stay upright for a while, but when it faded away I was screwed. If not for skyshot healing me, I would have been in big trouble.

Hmm. I mostly used the first paragraph just as an lazy explanation as of why Pyros was so late to do anything.

I would normally, but I"M ON STRIKE! STRIKE I SAY! And By and large that PYrosian insanity is considered Godmoddy, which is forbidden in this here RP. So Nyah.

I dispatched my guy quick, Although now i'm paying the price for it.

If you want more of a battle then let me know, I am more than happy to oblige

Mauve could probably do it via magic, as soon as we find a way to reverse the stone.

And as soon as the stone from the Dryad I took out after pulling it off Skyshot wears off, somebody could recharge me and I could do it.

Or I could get rid of one of the Dryads that are on a healing mage.

Okay, I was a little tired and unclear when I wrote my post.

I was attacking the Dryad that Garud and Mauve were fighting.

Yay!

I'm not cool like some people and have a ghost arm.

EDIT: Made a hole for somebody to post. My reasoning behind it is this:

The arm broke in half, along with all the arteries and veins (more importantly than the veins, the arteries) in the arm. Fenris's heart is fine. It will continue to pump out blood, but it is not a closed circuit like it used to be. So, the blood will flood (hehe, rhyming is fun!) out of the stump, because unlike an amputee, the flesh is not closed. Fenris'll die of blood loss if his arm isn't mended or otherwise clogged by the time the end turns to flesh.

Fenris has nearly died too many damn times in this encounter. As such, I'm adding another thing to his personality profile.

Fear of Petrification: Due to his less than... pleasant encounter with Dryads in the Earth Temple, Fenris is afraid of petrification. If he encounters an enemy that can petrify him, rational thought will escape him for a while until he comes to grips with his fear.

I had an idea about finally showing up just in time to save someone and be a huge help to you guys, but.... meh.

Well what did you have in mind, POS? Maybe we can still work something out..? There are still a few people suffering from paralysis, I think Mesden might be dead still, there may be a few dryads or rubble creatures lurking about (I've lost track)... What were you planning on doing? Or have you discarded that idea already?

Halp! I'm unconscious and will continue to be so until somebody electrocutes me!

Well then, let's heal newb with ele... el... e... FIRE! Yeah, that's it. Close enough.

nooooooo! I don't wanna die yet!

Well, this is Pedro we're talking about, so I think sitting around in his office while you all die horribly is just about as in character as he can get.

Hey, I tried to revive Mes.....

He might try to save Phoenix. After all, POS industries would lose stock if she died.

Pedro is all about stock prices.

Everybody get ready to cry..
 

Heeeeeeeeerrreesss, Well not Johnny, heavens no.. It's-a me! could'nt be Mario, of course not. It's that lovable(don't question it!), hyper, unstable and maniacal. MEEEE!!!

True. Don't worry everyone, I'm sure that as soon as the paperwork has been properly filed, a "friendly and helpful" POS Industries representative will contact you shortly to assist you with your problem.

*looks over paperwork*

Your problem is poor vacuum cleaner suction? Hmm.... Are you sure you filled out the right forms? I thought you wanted the "Dryad Extermination Requisition" forms. Those are the blue ones. I'm afraid you'll have to start again at the back of the line.

We at POS Industries appreciate your patience.

So does the paralisis wear off or do we need some form of stone to flesh spell? If so then...HELP :)

If someone breaks open the dome overhead, I can help. If I remember correctly, the petrification ends when the dryad it came from is dead.

lol better change my post slightly then...

The actual "canon" said it wears off a bit after the dryad is dead. Hence why I'm still dumb.

Man, you ARE evil. I wouldn't be surprised if POS Industries secretly owned three-quarters of the world's telemarketers, customer service representatives, and spam senders.


That was very nice, Darth! XD I liked that post!

I must second that motion, for It would also seem that POS industries owns everything and nothing at all, at the same time. Whether it's one or the other depends on legalities or whether or not it's on tax day.

I'm starting to regret giving him control over Gaia too....now he has an unlimited supply of annoying, incoherent people who don't know when to shut up for his evil, evil phone using people stuff.

Some of you may not then be surprised that I do not own one of those accursed "cell-phones", nor do I pick up and use the telephone either. When someone calls, I cover my ears and go lalalalalalala. If that fails, and they're really persistant, the phone goes kablooey.

On their end.

Haha! I liked that, Pyros. It made me giggle. I'd sig it, but I'm not done being the biggest jerk of all quite yet.

And would somebody revive Syttulg? I'm tired of Newb's constant whining. :p

I kid, I kid. On the whining part, and not the reviving part. I think.

Also Mauve: I said this a little in the other thread, but, Fenris's emoing stems from the fact that he's nearly died twice, and that he had to be rescued. He feels like he's a burden right now. The way Fen's brain operates, is that he won't take into account when he helped, he pays more attention to the times when he was helped.

I build my characters too psychologically and it will likely come back to bite me in the future.
