A True story minus the Lie's

[plarfman]

Man where did all this muck come from it was sticking to me like Tryker blood and I still couldnt see anything at least not that well. My foot touched my backpack as I moved about. I reached down and grabbed it, I kept an assortment of Zori masks inside for those special partys along with an extra gun, but where was it. I fumbled about, several of the masks falling out and onto the ground.

I needed to speed this up the Witch could strike at any moment. I kept backing up until i felt myself run into the stableboy...wait if I had a hostage the witch packer wouldnt attack....the stableboy was his friend! Finaly fingures grasping the small gun I yanked it out and with the other hand I grabbed the stableboy who seemed to be rather calm about it all.

"OK witch dont make a move or Ill put a bullet in that hiddious head of yours ....er I mean this stableboys" -=points gun in general direction=-

"Your Kind should B put to death and your head mounted on my wall, If only the rest of my guildies where here you would know true and utter pain"

I was strapping on my amp as fast as I could. I always go right hand first. I really wish Linneth still made staves. They weren't as flashy but these things are bulky as heck! I mean, here I am, supposed to put on these two gloves in a hurry...but how do I strap the second one? I mean...my right hand is covered in a gigantic magic mitten! I always end up using my teeth..like I was at this moment...right when the Tryker king emptied his pack, spilling his trophies of conquest all over the floor!

I gasped, horrified, as the faces of my kin tumbled about the muck before me. And as I gasped, I sucked in a strap from my amp and immediately began to choke. I pulled my hand from my face, pulling the strap out of my throat. I fell to my knees retching between gasps for air....

My vision was dimming, I shook my head as it hung down, near the mud. I heard the Tryker King speak in my language "OK witch don't make a move or I'll put a bullet in that hideous head of yours". I closed my eyes, tasting bitter defeat..."...er I mean this stableboy's"

My jaw dropped. He had taken a hostage! That evil Tryker! He was going to pay! He continued his evil litany but I refused to listen, focusing inward I pictured a Kami, eating his soul, and began to summon fourth a seething unrequited source of power, that would end the Tryker Menace once and for all!

[plarfman]

As I stood there gun pointing everywhere. I heard what sounded like gagging.....Baldy! That evil witch must have cast a spell so as not to let Baldy breath. This had to end Now I had to stop this madness.

BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM

I emptied the entire clip in the direction of the mektoub and was glad to hear the sound of a mektoub packer in pain.Quickly dropping the gun I yanked out of my bag a bomb. I had made it for a friend a week earlier and tossed it at what I guessed was the dying mektoub and dropped to the ground pulling the still calm stableboy with me. The Air seemed charged as I hit the ground and then with a gigantic

Woooooooooooooooosh KABOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

my entire world and probably 1/2 a zori block where turned upsidedown in a wave of fire,smoke,and mud

Four Days Later...

Packer 3 was staked to an old rusty mace I had found on the corpse of a bandit near the Mektoub Waterhole I had killed a few weeks ago. Packer 3 was munching on some grass as Gondi and I sat atop the Kipee mull enjoying some Yubo Sandwiches and Bodoc milk. We could see the Gingo stalking Packer 3, keeping low in the bushes.

"Serves him right" I said, draining the last of my milk. "You heard how mad Brithlem was. We cost the guild two good sets of armor and over half a million dapper just to fix stable. Not to mention the 3 mektoubs we killed on accident"

Gondi nodded thoughtfully as he ate his sandwich. "I made sure they were a little missmatched" he replied. "The right bracer on the black suit is half an inch longer than the left, and the white suit was pretty low grade stuff anyways. We picked it up in Yrk, Always, did anyways. Paid way to much for it. Blue suits him much much better."

[plarfman]

"I was telling Katel the other day that her new spiky green hair just didnt go with her red armor, She got all panic like and took off to fix it, they just need to pay more attention to there fashion, you just cant b running around Zori these days wearing green it clashes way to much with the vegitation!'

I took a bite of my food and nudged Baldy pointing to Packer3 who seemd to have noticed that it was being hunted by a Gingo.

"you think Brith will ever forgive us for that misshap? I hear that Cerest was seen scolding him for letting us destroy so much of the city. Telling him that we where at the top of her annoyance list and she had better things to do then babysit two anoying twits!"

-=takes another bite=-

"I mean jeeze what would she have done in our situation, The entire Zori nation could have fallen had I not killed that Witch!"

[josephm]

"Yeah to bad nothing was left. I bet there were some real powerful tidbits I could have used."

The gingos now knew that the mektoub knew that they were there and began to quicken their pace. It didn't really matter. Packer 3 was stuck, no matter how much he pulled and pulled, he'd get eaten. Served him right.

"I don't really remember what happened anyways. I think a Tryker was there. He must have gotten blown away too. The blast kind of addled me."

Packer 3 was now emitting a high pitched neigh and farting an awful lot in distress. The smell wafted up to the top of the mull where we sat, spoiling our appetites.

[plarfman]

" Yea I didnt even see the Tryker he must have been in kahoots with that demon,witch packer!"

I set my sandwitch down on the grass. How could I eat with the smell of the packer passing gas floating up to me.The gingos where getting close maybe they would actualy kill it this time (this was there 8th attempt today)

"That packer of yours just refuses to die or give up. Doesnt have many brain cells but man ive seen rocks with shorter life spans them him!"

I tossed a few rocks down the hill scattering several yubos where they sat sunning or peeing on things.

[josephm]

As the gingos approached Packer 3 he began to do a skittish dance around the mace, kicking up a great cloud of dust. I assumed that the gingo would be used to this, having a tendancy to do this themselves. For some reason though, the Mektoub always escaped unscathed.

Again we heard the clattering of hooves and the yipping of injurerd gingos as Packer 3 tore them apart with his crazy hooves. Stupid mektoub couldn't even get dying right. I eyed Gondi's pistol but shook my head. what a waste of good ammo. I had to brave many a kipesta just to get near the mitexi would that made such fine ammo casing.

I began strapping on my magical gloves when we heard the roar of an enraged kipee at the bottom of the eastern slope of the mull.

[plarfman]

I looked at Baldy seems he heard the Roar as well. Leaning back I looked down the Hill to see a giant....well semi Giant Kipee pawing the ground and roaring, he looked rather upset. Perhaps packer3's gas had traversed his nostrils I would probably have the same reaction. I stood finguring the shiny new Supreme Launcher Always had just made for me. I guess this might b a good time to try it out though we where still a bit close to town! I dropped a round down its giant chamber and stood.

"what are our odds you think baldy?"

Im not sure he was listening as he was gagging on the strap to his giant caster mittens.

"well if your gearing up dont forget that pink armor I gave you, Kipee's are afraid of it because its such a fashion sin to wear."

I hefted the launcher a bit. It seemed a bit heavy and the back end kept dipping behind me. I could see Min Cho it was only about 120m away!

[josephm]

I rolled my eyes. Pink armor? god WHAT is this guy thinking? Well he spent a good deal on it, and the gate guards would problably save me if I sprinted towards them...but would I want to? I mean..the armor looked imposing alright. But it was bright pink!

I was screwed. Majorly screwed. I was supposed to wear armor, while casting my spell, which is bad enough. Then I couldn't run if we were loosing because I'd die of shame anyways. You know...we wouldn't be in this spot if it hadn't been for Packer 3.

So I began to don my new pink armor, and Gondi began checking his launcher. It was a pretty cool Launcher. Always makes em that way...because he doesn't want to die ya know? Anyways, a word of advice, put on your magic gloves AFTER your armor. I think it took me a good twenty minutes to get the stuff on.

We're lucky it was a kipee at the bottom of the hill. They're kind of nearsited and dumb, which explains why it didn't approach us while we were vulnerable. Anyways, I was finally ready, but I decided on using my new sword AND magic on the Kipee. So I held my sword kind of awkwardly in my hands, but heck, magic and physical combat? I was a Zorai'n death lord of umm...death.
