Well, I for one think rescueing this ultimate ship thingy could be very profitable (economically, as well as as far as the mission is concerned :wink. Hell, it flies and is interdimensional...

Lets get submerged!

[knightrous]

The Oddestsey

Im selling the soul! GIVE ME THE MONEY!!!! OH AND THE CUSTOM SUIT TOO!
Plus a roll of duct tape to shut my Goacher up

The Oddestsey

point - technically as a demonic beign the devils already owns your soul

Anyway consider all your things bought as I cant be bothered to argue further... All your money is now GONE


Anyways - the Lord snaps his fingers and your group find yourselves aboard what is prehaps the largest pirate galleon you have ever seen. It takes about twelve minutes to walk its length.

It seems to be coates in hardox plates and the front cannon looks like it could demolish small hills. On the back however is a diving cage which Fernado aims your party towards. There are eight divign suits, three scuba kits, an old brass deep sea diving, a giant robot submarine, one for the crew of the nautilus and one which appears to be a neck ring which creates a magical bubble aroudn your head. Fernando, you five and Sammy the witch put on your suits, while Tlaloc the rain god doesnt require any of it. Unfortunalty Fernando had nothign which could help an oppossum, pigeon or goat scuba dive so they will be left behind.

You all enter the cage and it plummets to the sea bed, ad ahead you see a perculiar site, it looks like soem futuristic battle ship, but it has side fins to aid in its balance. You enter insideand march forward down its length to the controll room. At one point a medium sized shark attacks but a joyl of electricity from Franks hand knocks it unconsious.

They reach the bridge and discover a glowing silver orb.

I am Management System Prime! You seek to overide present bridge protocals, affirmative action, prove qualification in two manners, probability of old command strucutre still present 0.000334% liklihood. commence challenge A.

Before anyone has tiem to turn around you see a hatch has opened in the door and a giant newt-man opened the door, he was about 12 foot long and holding a very nasty barded halberd in its hands....

The doros slam shut with the sound of command protocal delta-7 in progress fro mthe mechanical vociue and the room drains of water suddenly, The newt seems to be at no disadvntage though...

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

Hes going to be wet. Blast him with lightning and he dont live no more

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

Ok, we need to avoid him taking us out in one fell swoop. I am fairly fast and dexterous so i can pretty much avoid him if it comes to fighting, but one tactic i might try is to use my new bow and fire an arrow off sending a few through use of my TK at the same time, id probably aim to weaken the arms, hamper his use of the flippin weapon. Also, a steel maelstrum would be useful

[Guest]

The Oddestsey

Ill sell control of my left arm for 500?

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey

The newt attacks with sudden vengeance swinging the giant halberd across where the party was standing. Everyone doges, Sammy, the Prof and Sarah jump to the floor, narrowly avoiding a swipe from a weapon with a shaft as thick as their torso. Nimera and Fernando flip over it with their usual shop of way and Tom quickly back steps to avoid it. The halberd is stopped however as the 12ft high figure of Tlaloc catches the weapon in both hands and block it from going further although the strain can be seen in the vast stone masked beings muscles as the mighty newt tries to finish the attack.

Knowing that Tlaloc with not be able to hold it for long the group attack with as much force as they can muster. Tom fires his harpoon into the muscles of the creatures right arm, and then jumps into the air and hauls himself into it, feet bracing against it, putting him within feet of the giant rubbery lips that could swallow him whole. He gets the pocket microwave ray out and begins to slowly fry the flesh of the great amphibian away, it bubbles and boils but the newt releases one hand upon the halberd and slams it into Tom just as he aims his acid jet into its face and causes it to roar with rage as it swats Tom away hard into the wall knocking him unconscious, although only lightly.

Tlaloc has used the opportunity of the newt letting go with one hand to prepare an awesome attack and he swings with all his might and knocks the newt heavily into the steel wall of the ship, denting it heavily. The newt advances upon Tlaloc and the two huge beings grapple, neither able to get a decent grip upon the other because of their moist skins. Sarah puts an arrow upon her bow and unleashes it, the eleven quarrel embedding itself into the back of the newt, although the lack of blood indicates that its skin is too thick, more and more arrows embed in but nothing appears to be even causing the newt to see whose doing that.

Finally the Lord gets into play, he jumps upon the newts head and rams his charged rapier down into its skull causing an explosion of sparks and Tlaloc to be thrown away by the power and the lord knocked over as the newt screams with rage. However the damage seems to be minimal and the lord does a spectacular acrobatic leap and lands on all fours, very gracefully however.

The newt skins round to attack Fernado while he is slightly disorientated but Frank steps between the huge lizard like creature and its prey, one hand upon the double ended lightsaber and the other outstretches and crackling gently with electricity. It charges forward swiping up its barbed halberd and its heavy webbed feet thud into the steel deck and Frank puts away his lightsaber and his hands are out as his side in claw positions seeming to crackle with electricity , his eyes close and just as its a meter from him he rams his left hand out in front of him, his fingers opening and in that instant a massive lightning bolt strikes the newt from his outstretched palm, looking fully as powerful as the electricity from a storm. The newt is knocked off balance and Frank slams his other hand out in front of him knocking the newt backwards against the wall ,the massive charge passed through it holding it there as electricity crackles along its surface and the newt slumps forwards onto all fours again, looking considerably blackened and angry, but the smell of charred newt flesh permeates the air.

The professor attacks the newt in this charred state, firing his death ray attachment against the flesh of the creatures chest, the flesh began to shrivel away slowly , the modified flesh of the being more resistant to the destructive power of the death ray and the creature sung its halberd downwards only to be caught by a magical field from Sammy. It swings the massive shaft towards the witch but Nimera jumps in its way, he seems to blur as if moving at incredible speed: swinging his katana is a complex pattern leaving a blurry trail behind it which looks for all the world like a wall of blades, everything else is slowed down so that its barely moving. And then suddenly the entire room freezes except for Nimera. The vampire looks up into the eyes of the newt, and then simply says in his normal voice Dead end and tiem returns, the wall of ghostly katana points slams forward into the newt knocking him to the floor and obliterating his weapon into a pile of wooden splinters

Nimera Valencia has learned Wall of Sword

The newt, now bleeding its dark thick blood from hundred of wounds gets up, it has lost its weapons slightly and although oozing bodily fluids they seem to be small wounds for what the creature can take care ok. Suddenly, completely forgotten the golden lion tamarin jumps upon the creaturesface, the newt flails, but the little golden coloured monkey raises its paw into the air and then jars it between the eyes and it begins to vibrate. The monkey has used the quivering palm upon the giant newt. Nimera looks incredulous as the newt begins to leak bodily fluids from its pores and acts as it stunned. Frank spins up to the stunned creature and rams his sabre full length into its guts and swipes across, the rubbery hide of the newt taking time to burn due o its high moisture content but the newt unable to move as its blood becomes saturated with its own charred flesh dies.

The monkey does a back flip and lands upon Sarahs shoulder, her cat glowers at it and firestorm raises an eyebrow. Everyone wonders how these three got down here at all.

Suddenly the booming voice of the computer starts up.

You have completed command rank selection process, searching for energy source for energizing process, suddenly the entire world seemed to pass across the screen but then it focused on Fernandos ship several hundred leagues above them. 78.9% of bio energy located, proceeding with power extraction, the crew looked on in horror as suddenly every single being aboard the ship dropped dead that they could see, hundreds of lives and Fernando screamed with anger at the ancient machine, incompatibility rating 1 organism, reason irregularity vortex unstable, just too damn cool Fernado glared at the machine, what the hell was that meant to mean! You killed my crew, Ill destroy you abomination Incongruent reaction vortex, self-defence activated, remaining bio energy source potential qualification: affirmative, nullifying hex shield protection Fernando swiped at the computer with a powerful thrust of his statically charged sabre but inches away from it the computer blurted bio mass energy complete and Fernando aged with ridiculous speed and dropped to the floor, a lifeless shell.

The computer had just killed a Lord without him being able to return a blow!

Decrement in applications for optimisations, 170% potential biomass ready, additional improvement capabilities capable, application to subjects confirmed lock in suddenly eight beings in that room saw nothing but white light

The Professor dreamed....

His muscles became taught so that he was probably stronger than any normal man, although not Herculean he didnt look any stronger. His mind though... his mind raced as every single neural pathway interlinked, he could calculate anything in milliseconds maths itself he could see was useless, he couldnt achieve anything with those pitiful symbol stamped across the universe in a futile attempt to explain its relativities, he could affect the overall balance in minor ways, even time became just another set of variables. Suddenly three mental commands were stamped across his mind he felt himself unable to change happenings of time by more than five minutes, or forward in time at all and apparently he couldnt change reality by more than a relevance factor of 10, which he didnt know but he could work out by thinking of something somehow. He tested it out and he was wearing not the dragon skin tuxedo, Spartan helmet and top hat of before but a full dinner jacket complete with opera cape. That was more like it, but still it improved the molecular strength and resilience of the fabric needed changing, there his soft velvet outfit now was approximately as different to damage as diamond...

Tom dreamed....

The bionics of his arm awoke the slumbering man as he felt metal tendrils sliding softly throughout his body in a strange but not painful way, his bones seemed to be hardening, and his brain pulled up a data sheet in his eyes... Why do I have adatasheet in my vision he wondered but then looking at the statistics...high grade hardox! He said inside his head, woot! Apparently his tendon were becoming memory alloy and hisskin seemed to be gaining a slight hint of a copperish colour in it. His amr seemed as natural as the previous arm now and he noted the fingers at its tipwere just as dextrous, it developed a thick hardox covering over the top to protect the insides. He noted that his other amr seemed to have hydraulics in it too, making it supremely strong and he seemed to be able to use some form of sonar, as well as the ability to change the spectrum of light he could see to include x-rays, gamma rays and even sound! Suddenly a second wave over took him and he realised he now had a magic-sink in his chest where his heart was and realised that he could summon all kinds of dreamtime creatures from the nothingness, or even anything Australian at all... this was going to be fun... He also noted that on his right more natural arm he had cables which could shape change to fit any computer interface that he could move like tiny arms... access any computer and it would do what he wished

Nimera dreamed...

The power of blood crawled through him, he feel what the ancient vampire kings must feel ,alive, his sense were heightened, but his own body was immensely light to his own super powered muscles, he realised he could lift his own entire weight upon his little finger or punch through the wall of a hosue without breaking a sweat. Strange glands seemed to be developing in his teeth, he noted they could inject various different substances into a prey, including sleeping, one that made the person highly suggestible and one which he discovered he knew was highly toxic and tasted of peppermint. He could smell blood, sharper than ever before, but he no longer just drank it, it was clay to a sculptor he could voe it how he wished, boil it, freeze it, stop its flow, cause it to burst from the body or flood to the head. Very potent powers, he noticed his katana had gone, but he realised that something was inside his arms.. the blades shot out on reflex, part of his body from his wrist and retracted painlessly again after, they should be too long, he looked with interest as he realised he could heat them to the temperatures required for atomic slash at will, plus his telekinesis increased tenfold, he could halt a full speed double Decker bus instantly... He smirked...

Frank dreamed...

All the clutter was gone from his head, it was all tidied away separately, it was a weird sensation but he could multitask like there were hundreds of mini Franks inside him controlling every single aspect of his body perfectly, he discovered he could move as precisely as he wanted and was supremely fast, the double ended sabre was a very precise tool in his hands, but then the lightning crackeld thorugh him. He could discharge any amount of electricity, any way, he could discharge so much he could actually use it to put pressure on something, after a bit of experimentation eh found by blasting upwards from one hand he could cold a van above him head just by the force of uncounted trillions of electrons. Suddenly his own min returned a bit and he noticed that built into his pockets were tiny quantum gates stretching to the reality of Junk, the fabled dimension where everything that could possibly be used in a visual gag is piled as far as the eye can see an can be accessed immediately. He has dreamed about this since he was a child...

Sarah dreamed...

She felt her muscles tighten, but more she felt the earth, she could sense the consciousness or every rock and every plant, she could bend natures will to her own with so little as a spell, she could cause boulders to ram from the ground, seems of gold to rise to the surface before her or a mighty tree to crush someone with its branches. She realised that the small telekinetic device had gone and so had all her telekinetic abilities, but she realised that she could read minds, and affect them how she would, crushing them, repairing them, sending them mad, but as she could do with the mind she could do with the body, she was practically impossible to kill, so high the level of healing magic that poured through her soul that her flesh regenerated and remained in perfect condition.

Gilder the Golden Lion Tamarin dreamed...

He could finally speak to those moronic humans who couldnt understand a word of his sarcasm laden dialogue that he had squeaked at them while getting here, he had known this wall all a tad fishy, but he was about to become super powerful so who was he to complain. He noticed every small thing, his perception went up able to take in everything, especially analyse people he noted, and with great satisfaction he notd that he had the most deep understanding of good sarcasm imaginable, his mind leaped at the possibilities of this wonderful weapon but as if reading his thoughts the computer slapped a mental command blocking him from ever using the extreme stuff, too terrible a weapon to unleash upon the world... He also noted his ki levels has shot through the roof, he could floor a giga-mammoth with his breath or deflect a laser beam with his hands. He also noticed that his lungs were entirely immune to the negative effects of the tin cigars to which he was so partial....

Sammy dreamed...

She realised what was making her such a lousy witch, she could fully comprehend any spell, but she realised what was required, rituals and chants were no longer needed and she could turn water to the required potion with a touch. She also understood headology, the reason she never could really become a good witch. She could read minds and place thought there by the merest suggestions. She also noted that her broomstick was a top of the range hyper moonstone powered Luna model. She was also wearing that really cool black corset top she had been saving up for, for awhile with the different opals set into it. She also noticed her hairseemed to style itself into how she wanted it rather than the untidy mop it was usually.. She was impressed with this hole super power process...

Pleb the cat dreamed....

The computers voice boomed in its mind... if you think Im giving any powers to a cat you must think Im stupid... get stuffed...
The cats minds eye glared at the disembodied computer voice...
what I mean is you now have an extra rodent sense, you can detect rodents from miles away any youll win every fight your ever in, now please dont hurt me...

Tlaloc dreamed...

Hey Tlaloc, long time no see, hows it going?
Not bad, not bad, I thought Id tag along with these guys, they seem quite interesting, never expected Id meet you again old metalmind.
Me neither water boy, anyway how about complete control over all forms of rain, ice, storms, these, the lot, nice upgrade from your present package.
Sounds great, thanks, seeya round...

Everyone awoke, they could see the changes in each other.
Not bad, not bad, Nimera pronounced extending and retracting his swords a few times while they were novel.
Anyway I believe that we have to stop Berenhotep before these powers become permanent computer?
The professor added.

Affirmative, the computer returning to its I can use much longer words that I need to cos I dont have lips to get tired and I like to show off mode.

I seemed Berenhotep ruled from an acropolis made of ancient limestone, but imbued with ancient Egyptian magic, channelled through powerful cannons, which were strong enough to damage even this ship, so a full siege was never going to be possible.

The only ways to get to the plateau of the acropolis conventionally were the small winding ath exposed to the cannons, or by air, even more exposed to the cannons.

Plans of attack, Ill draw up a full pic of both your hip and the acropolis if your that bothered. Everyone happy now?

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

I suggest we split up. Ill go in first from the air, sharing Sammys broomstick with her and Pleb the cat, using my new super speed and precision reactions to dodge their firepower, then take out enough cannons so the others can attack from the ground.

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

Pleb lays the supremely evil Smackdown Where were Firestorms powers?

Ok, plan of attack, i should pretty much be able to protect anyone on the ground by raising the earth in front of us as and hardening it as the cannons attack (before returning it to the surface as i should), i also have Gilder (eho you first mentioned as female btw) with me to use his Ki with the blasts.

The two pronged attack sounds good to me, of course, once we get inside, any minions get their minds crushed

If Nimera is to lose control of his body (glares) the rest of us better work together to keep him in check, saying that, if i am able to do as i see fit with the mind, am i not able to fight the control of the merchant or is his a higher power?

[knightrous]

The Oddestsey

I like this new power, its comforting in a new way, vigorating if you must. LETS KICK ASS! I gotta test these X-Men style claw/blades

[Guest]

The Oddestsey

I am teh pwn now.

I wish to keep my Summon Ayers Rock power on permanent standby for usage.

[steven_mcg]

The Oddestsey

I can slightly alter reality? Just by thinking? And my intellect has been given a healthy boost? Ooooh, the boys at SPECTRE are going to go ape when they find out about this.

Ill just follow whatever you guys fancy doing, I dont mind If you guys are in trouble, I can just try and imagine it away

[Guest]

The Oddestsey

Can we go test out our powers by smashing the sh!te through some puny mortals?

*notices AJ & Chris Masons towns of residence nearby, uses computer to transport them there*

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

No, because were supposed to be the good guys here. If you want to go mortal smashing, you do it without me :P

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey

The party notice firestorm had disappeared

you can do anything you want, but bear in mind that none or you are powerful enough to be a full ord yet though together your more powerful than one of the weaker ones, otherwise you would have become a lord, process which believe you em you would have noticed
