new-ness!

Normally I’d be the first to wheel out the trebouchet, but I’m a bit busy with a quest right now, so it’ll have to wait, but I’m sure that Hal would just *love *to introduce you to his robo-goat.

Spatial Rift 47, You’re my hero looks lovingly at her saviour

You’re on your way to being knighted kind sir… :smiley:

Hmmm, really? Maybe I’ll move next decade’s chivalrous act up. How may I assist you, my fair lady? :smiley:

Hmmm…let me mull that one over… :smiley:

But for now…what the hell are we doing here?

Oooh, trebuchets! I’ve always wanted to fly…

Wait, a goat? Does it get launched instead? ~pouts~ I wanna get launched!

“Get launched” sounds like a really fun way of saying “fuck off.” Gonna have to remember that.

Princess, would you care to join me in a more private setting?

[Scary voice]
MWA-HAHAHAHAHA!
THE4THMOONCAT, YOU TRULY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE IN STORE FOR!
MWA-HAHAHAHAHA!

So, just sit down in that chair in ceter there, and have a drink. The crew will be here shortly.

In a courtyard somewhere perhaps? Wouldnt want to get my royal jewels dirty :smiley:

[aside] Am I the only one who’s noticed that our intrepid heroes have lost track of the original honoree in this thread (Improbability)?

Do you use some form of AIM? I could email you with my screenname.

I’m a Messenger girl myself…

~jumps into chair, curls up again~ What the heck, should be interesting.

Princess, check your email! Or else, if you have, should I assume that what I suggested didn’t work?

I did infact check my email. But alas, I am unable to message you… :dubious:

“Interesting”. Yeah, that’s the word. “Interesting”.

They told us it would be “interesting” to be one of the initators as well. So far, I have : been exploded through a door; been fought over by squid; gotten lost in a mythical mountain valley; been dunked in a squid tank repeatedly; suffered impromptu brain surgery after what I think was a ghoul attack; been menaced by a giant duck, a giant squid, a giant squck (about which, the less said, the better), several RoboGoats, and carnivorous bread; been trapped by a self-destruct device; witnessed a fight amongst the gods; and was almost hit by Arrows of Love! And that’s just in the last initiation!

Interesting!

At least the “Death Ray” still works.

It does? COOL! :: runs off to play with the death ray :: :smiley:

:smack:
I would say you two get a room, but it seems you already have. :dubious:

Lawdy! Are we back to a/s/l yet?
Somebody get a mop!

any and all speeling stimakes were brought to you tonight courtesy of Budw… :grabbing the bottle:… Budweiser Select!

Nope, no room…there was a courtyard for a moment there but typical guy…went off to play with his toys…

Um…guys…where exactly are we…and what are we doing? I recall someone mentioning The Vale…?

Right. The Vale.

Follow me.

:: Sunspace leads the others from the Initiation Room. They push through the half-open doors and go down the stairwall. At the bottom, they find that the lower stairwell door is buckled and thrown back against the wall, and the walls are pitted and dirtied by smoke. ::

Oh yeah… I was blown through this by the explosion. Freaky, that–I survived all the way up the stairs…

:: They enter the lower room. The lip of the drop chute in the ceiling is bent. The other two doors–the one with the vines growing underneath, and the one to the formless room that trapped Daithi Lacha–are buckled as well, but remain closed.

The door to the Vale no longer exists.

In its place is a crater and a cavelike opening in the wall… and beyond, the clear air of the mountain valley. ::

The Vale! It’s back!!!

:: He rushes through the opening. The grassy upland meadow is still there (albeit littered with rocks). Across the valley, the mighty forest climbs the far slope. And below, the willage with the railway station is still there. All is lit by golden sunlight. ::

The Vale!

::Looks up from the book she’s been quietly reading on the couch all night::

Does this mean you no longer need to follow Regallag’s plan of

?

'cause if you do, the Guidebook waves the book she’s been reading around says that there’s a wise woman in the village who can give you sage advice about how to find your way through the Forest of Woe without needing more than one tissue box (giant size) apiece, instead of the usual 10.

That’s in decimal, btw, not binary.
