Oh.
My.
Og.
Is it too late to do imprinting on it?
And where is this place?
Daithi, are you saying that thing was a chick!!!
:eek:
[sub]Figures. The only time in my life I have a chick chasing after me, it’s a murderous mutant duck…[/sub]
I don’t know where this place is. But it’s a hell of a lot better than being trapped in the Initation Complex.
We have to get sneezy out of there.
:: Following Kythereia, Sunspace returns to the room. ::
Just don’t close that door… there’s some damned strange stuff going on around here, and who knows whether this valley will still be accessible next time someone opens it?
Well, in for a penny, in for a pound…
checks to make sure the door is still wedged, and heads upstairs
Hey - where’d Kythereia get arrows?
Daithi–maybe you’ve met my son, Cupid? 
hurtles to a stop
Everybody duck! It’s coming this way!
::Runs in through door brandishing his shiny new axe::
PREPARE TO DIE, FOUL BEAST!
::Charges at “the Duck”::
Escape now! I’ve got a plan!
[SIZE=1] shit… what was that plan again? [SIZE]
::Runs in through door brandishing his shiny new axe::

::Charges at “the Duck”::
Escape now! I’ve got a plan!
[SIZE=1] shit… what was that plan again? [SIZE]
::Avoids a blow from the Duck::
Wow. This place seems to be full of echos today.
::Takes a wild, powerfull swing::
::Duck falls on one side
I think I wounded it!
::Duck falls over::
Alright, I got it!
::Turns around::
::Sees a massive shadow rise up, brimming with both tenticles and feathers::
Oh, shit.
Okay, just for the record “::Duck” should have been “:: Duck”
What? You’re telling me that thing…
BRED?!?!
What, a Giant Duck with a Giant Squid?
Who’s the pitcher and who’s the catcher? 
Dude, we’re being attacked by a giant squiduck and you wanna debate the physics of it getting laid?!!?
crash, thud, squelch, QUACK
Are we actually being attacked?
:: looks around uneasily ::
I’m not sure… moves closer to Sunspace and Daithi, still aiming bow we haven’t been actually touched by those–ugh, shiver tentacles–or anything, I–
–wait! :eek: Where’s Mariah?
<Still watching from the observation room in the Evil Overlord Control Room of Evil>
The technical term for my latest creation is a “Squck”.
Hey! Stop giggling!
:: Indeed, Mariah’s tank is empty. ::
And where’s sneezy? And what are those marks on the other door, the one where the newbies enter?
Zeus! What if the Squck got Mariah and–
shrill scream from next room
Well, looks like it’s time to form a war party to go in and save her.
So far we have me, and a woman with a bow. Any other volenteers?
Er, uh… I used to have +3 Vorpal but I lost it…
And, yes, I *am * interested in beastly mating habits, as a matter of fact!
That scream was from the Squid Storage Room… with the deep pool.
Can any of you… swim?
Oh, here, is this your +3 Vorpal? I found it over there somewhere… passes it over
(@$&@, I have to run and catch the bus for home… don’t storm the evil monster’s lair without me!)
