Tell WHORES to feast on the trolls. Take Sir Mary's equipment to keep any of the good stuff and later sell the rest. :)

You bury Sir Mary outside the cave, raising a cairn in his honor.

WHORES has eaten himself into a stupor, and has grown a new cocoon.

goes fishing in the nearby river, while the others make camp and wait for our Final Fantasy birdy to come out of it's new shell. BTW am I an overweight nerd with glasses whose good at cooking, first aid and fishing, or am I a giant talking bear, Inever did get an answer to that one?

Also If I'm a giant talking bear, just keep Snow's crazy sister Rose as far away from me as possible, she's nearly killed a few talking bears.

You have been joined by a giant talking bear.

You will place your ad as soon as you get to the Royal City.

WHORES new form does indeed have wings, resembling a griffin in all respects.

ask WHORES if he can now fly us places instead of having to walk.

WHORES would have a hard time carrying Counter by asking his name first (heretofore known as Player 1 until renamed) aloft. His wings are still weak, and cannot even lift him from the ground.

WHORES says, "Why don't we return to the royal city to collect our reward, and notify the King of Sir Mary's death. By the way, perhaps you should check on your sword, Player 1, I hear a distressed wailing coming from your scabbard."

"My good bear, well met! How shall I call you? I am known as WHORES."

The Longsword of Logic is having a breakdown over being in a group with a homicidal maniac, a griffin, and a skeleton raised from the dead.

Ask him what is logical about a talking sword that could summon weapons of mass destruction.

OOC: Why is everything I touch (type) dies? :)

IC: At dawn we leave for the Royal City, talk to the king, give him the troll king's head, collect bounty and ask if he knows of a weapon similar to the Longsword of Logic but is less suicidal.

OOC: Because you keep pointing out the inconsistancies in the story. I have to kill them. Not to mention that the sword's time was limited because I was getting bored with the whole "I design an encounter with a lot of rooms and monsters, and then the sociopaths summon VX and kill everything." Also, if that were true, WHORES would be dead. Instead, I granted your wish that he have wings. (He's still got the head of a snobbish Long Crested Eagle though.)

IC: You travel north for many days, and eventually you can see the Royal City. There is an army laying seige to it.

OOC: Here's some geography: The Royal City has two parts, the inner city, and the outer city. The outer city lays along the banks of a river leading into a large lake, while the inner city is actually on an island inside the lake. Six great bridges lead from the six districts of the outer city to the inner city. The army is besieging the outer city, on both sides of the river.

We could always dig below them, stockpile pigs and oil, then light the whole mess on fire?

hey it worked in the past.

Examine the invading army and see if it is safe to talk to the leader.

WHORES says, "Digging below the army is an idea that has merit."

The invading army is large, but poorly led. There are two major groups. On the left is a flag with a black star on a white field, and on the right is a flag with the letters SDI, but the D is backwards.

As you approach the army of King Darkstar, you hear screaming about his machine to tear down the walls of the Royal City.
