Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
Willow’s finger pressed against strained, thin muscle a few times before her prodding inspired a sudden gasp in Diligence. The artisan, much reduced, slapped his hands against the floor, pushing himself up in a haggard, defeated motion. Literally deflated, he drug himself over to one of the toppled ...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
“Don’t know when to give up, huh? I’m startin’ t’--” The headless Diligence wasn’t ready for the person sized bullet that struck him in the gut. In fact, he looked as though he were opening up to catch her. Catch her he did, but not before the vicious strike to his gut. He grabbed her arms, ready to...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
That table crashed into Diligence and broke over his body. He took a moment to recover, throwing spars of wood and metal fittings off himself. If he hadn’t been recovering from such a hit, he would have been more ready for the bench. Without a head, it struck right on his iron collar and broke over ...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
Willow’s brief glance rewarded her with one thing, a bowl on a far table that looked to be filled with iron coins in the shape of crisps. Meanwhile, the first tankard she threw bounced off of Diligence, causing him to recoil momentarily. When the next tankard came sailing in, a gout of orange magma ...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
Anyone in attendance at that point was making a dash for the door, or into the interiors carved into the walls of the caverns. Quarrids overturned tables and benches alike, and Willow’s entourage was pulling their wooden charge with them out of the hall and back into the open air. Few wanted to find...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
Words held gravity, they were like magic that even the mundane could use. By just speaking, a person could inspire silence and awe, or incite an emotional response. Sometimes the right words at the right time can make all the difference in the world. Willow would learn what that meant today. She did...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
The quarrids still present all had their hands up, counting along with Willow in their heads. Even Diligence seemed to be replaying the sentence in his head, bouncing it left and right up to ten times as he mouthed the words. On the tenth time, his mouth flattened, realizing that Willow had effectiv...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
Few except Bjorn knew what to expect as Willow set these events in motion. Phyllis dutifully set the spriggan at her feet as his gordalisk refused repeated commands, seemingly bowing to a different master now. Ghyslain could only giggle constantly at some unseen distance. Helen took shelter in the w...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
What belief the quarrids had in their cause faded in the face of Willow’s temerity. A couple of the smaller rock-eaters looked at each other before looking for some assurance from their boss. A brief confusion began to spread among all those present, as they began to whisper among themselves. “... a...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance
A warping noise of rope flying died in the sounds of merry voices cheerily speaking back and forth. Then, when Willow’s lasso caught, she heard noisome cursing bring an end to the merriment. Her target rolled, kicked and rattled loudly. “Oi oi oi! Who’s the farkin’--,” roared the Spriggan as other s...
