Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Robert is dead
Till death he had bled
Brave he had fought
But dead with no thought
Now give me the books
And dare not take a look" Helianthus rhymes, drawing his sword, and making it look like he stole it off of Sir Robert.

OOC: This rhyming is both fun and annoying.

 

Seems you've got more than just those guards on you.

A crossbow bolt sticks in the ground just in front of your foot.
"You killed the old captain, did you? What makes you think we'd just let you in to kill our current two?!" One of the guards growls, pointing their weapon at you.

 

"No intent I have
Of killing those you have
For only Robert was a fool
To even think of killing a ghoul
The books are those I seek
Not you who are weak" Helianthus rhymes, brandishing his sword.

 

They part reluctantly.
"We'll follow you in... But you may talk to them."

 

Helianthus nods, sheathing his sword and entering. He then starts looking around for the books.

 

The books are where you remembered they were, the guards staying somewhat close behind.

 

Helianthus pulls out one of them, and then pulls out Leo's crystal. He starts setting up some candles for a ritual.
"What I require
Must not get stuck in the mire
A sacrifice
One who is full of vice
To serve as a vessel
For a man willing to wrestle." Helianthus says, reading through the book.

 

"You want to sacrifice a prisoner?" One of the guards asks.

 

"In layman's terms
That I can confirm" Helianthus rhymes, this time creating a small summoning circle.

 

"Go get a prisoner."
One of the guards leaves.

"Might I ask which ritual you're performing?" The other asks.

 

"To transfer a soul
Is my long-awaited goal" Helianthus rhymes, placing Leo's crystal in the middle of the circle.

 

"You really are Robert. Sorry for doubting you, sir." The guard says.

 

I leave the King and go out of the palace. When I'm outside, I fly over the bridge until I'm hovering over the crowd in the square outside it.

"Yes, it isn't that hard. Actually, even though I'm a ghost, I'm more attached to the physical plane than the spiritual plane. I can only pass through a few walls at a time."

"She had powerful magic she could use to do so much. We were lucky when she died, because we were in forms which connect to the spiritual plane. She... she barely exists now."

 

"As I have said
Old Robert is dead
I am merely doing his will
For he has paid the bill"

 

You arrive just in time to see a molotov light up one of the palace gardens.
-----
"Interesting... Strange, rather. At any rate, you may want to reveal yourself soon. Secrecy leads to mistrust in our group."

"Part of him is in you, I knew it."

The other guard returns with a prisoner, but they're not in top condition.
"Make it quick, imposter." They bark.

 

"To rush a ritual
Is an ultimate pitfall
Now hush and dare not disturb me
For this body will no longer be me" Helianthus rhymes, beginning the ritual.

A barely visible thread appears in between the crystal and the prisoner.

 

"Well, I know someone who could try to re-connect you with her if you wanted." I say.

 

The room is silent.

 

Helianthus reads several verses from the book. The prisoner starts to scream uncontrollably.

 

OOC: School is hard. Anyways I got A's in all my classes and are in Gamers Guild as well. Ok can someone fill me in on what has happened after I went to sleep? Also the majestic world of D&D has token hold of me, and also, Gnome Paladin 4 life.
