The Professor scans the platipirates quickly, they seem to be very strong but have no intention of harming the group before knowing bout them.

The group introduces themselves to the platypirates and explains what has happened to them so far and what€™s happened.
The first platypus starts talking: €˜Aye, ye be entries then, welcome to this world, I was a thinkin€™ ye be a piculia lot o€™wise, t€™ree mens, a man-leech and a pointy blood girl€™
It took a few moments for them to work out what the platipirate was on about, evidently a man-leech meant a vampire and a pointy blood meant a half elf.
€˜Where are we, and whats an entry?€™
€˜Aye, I be sorry, I shoulda thort ta tell ya, an entry be one who has entered this world from €˜nother, where ye be? This world be called Geschraubter Platz, tis a hub world, where all thee others join up ta, stuff from all of d€™em drops inta here and canna get out €˜gain. It happens in big bu€™sts making heap o€™ stuff like thisa one here. Ya welcome to take all ya need from if €˜fore us, ye need it more than we, €˜sides we can eesly use nae€™thin€™ you dunna want, you canna take it all.€™
The group continue to ask questions for quite a while, and while wading though the accents manage to discover the following pieces of information:

€ The town below is Called ciudad Arabe Extra±a en el Centro de un Amarrar, or Aeca for short.
€ There is no rulers anywhere in the world or any governments, but there are seven beings who are practically gods whose will goes. The platypirates don€™t know much more except €˜Aye, one dem be alike ta the white coaty man€™ and €˜Aye, he be a nasty one that Dmfrall€™ Any further interpretations proved futile. It would be prudent to not anger these beings
€ It would be best to gather some stuff and then sell it in the town below.
€ It€™s probably not best to go for the tiny keg of alcohol as it belongs to a €˜piskie€™ who is probably hiding somewhere in the junk.
€ Keep out of what the platypirates describe as €˜the cun€™funded brun abom€™naton€™ they refuse to explain what exactly it is.
€ They give you a small pearl with a band of steel around it, apparently if they show it to any other platypirates they will assist them however they can.

The platypirates head down the hill having said they€™ll come back for anything you leave later.

After looking round you see the second column of smoke was from the town, some building appears to have been on fire.

What do you want to do?

Head directly down to the town after you have your items.
Stay here overnight
Head off back East
Head off West past the town
Go inland

Something else

Additionally: if you arfe ever given an itme it will go to the person with the most free weight

I didnt speak to the Aussie creatures in my Aussie linguistics? *is disappointed*

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey

someone nominated Steve as rep. so you didnt get a chance, besides, i cant write a conversation when both sides have incomprensible accents, they had pirate accents anyway

btw each of you recived 5xp for startign to find otu whats going on

The Oddestsey

Again, i have to ask if i could use the Morning Star as a weapon at the same time as my Scarring Knife, if not, Prof Vengeance could kindly make something sharp and pointy from the shopping trolley. Might well be dangeous to take the Salamander, so ill probably leave that to the Platypirates.

Any idea what the confounded brun abomination might be?

My vote, no point in staying here if the town is fairly safe, and we could do with a store anyway. So, town. If we decide to stay the night, i have eight for senses so ill do the bulk of the nightwatch.

First off, as regarding the items... I say someone pushes the trolley along, and we load that with items we find, and therefore increase our carrying capabilities... If thats allowed anyway.

Also, Id like to grab the sequins and sew them to the octopus tentacle, and dip them in that blinding poison Aaron got from the tentacle earlier, as whipping it straight at enemies will be a lot easier than getting in close range

Also, I vote in going down to the town.

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

By the way, assuming combat is turn based, do I need to waste a turn turning into my electric form?

[steven_mcg]

The Oddestsey

Ill take:

- the Mail on Sunday (for terrifying anyone in our way and something to entertain us)
- the salamander (Firestorm a good name? :wink
- the tiny beer keg (If the piskie comes for it, we can crush im and get more Xp. Plus, we can give it to the lizard in a crisis and unleash a hyped-up super salamander on our foes )

If anyone has the weight, they could take the trolley and do what Franky said.

Also, if possible, Ill try and combine the cyborg arm with my Cane to allow its trademark interchangeable novelty. A laser guns cool, but it can get dull after a while.

As for tactics, lets go to town. I feel sociable!

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

Forget about the Morning Star, too slow methinks. Hey,prof, can you do me something along the lines of sharp and pointy with a spoke from the trolley?

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey

a) You are allowed to use the shopping trolley, think of it as a very big bag of holding if anyone knows what that is (i know aaron does)

b) Combat is not turn based but real time fully written battle, itd be boring to read a written turn based fight. Magic will take a little time to cast, the mroe you advanced the less time it will take, but the more pwoerful a spell the longer it will take. Presently your spells Frank take only a second cos there quite simple, healing is next quickest, then illusion, then summoning

c) All updates will be done by tomorrow so you have til then to finish your descisions

d) Tom had already bagsyed the arm Steve

e) If you fail to combine objects you risk loosing one or all of them, tho you may not

f) You cant use trolley spokes for a weapon and use it for carrying

g) you can modify weapons

h) its whisky not beer

i) you can modify weapons by themselves, ie cut biots off them if you wish and explain what you want done

j) no one wants the most powerful piece of armour ive given you the oppertunity for so far?

k) dont forget the other stuff ive listed

l) the shopping trolley has a cpacity of 120

that is all

[darkguru]

The Oddestsey

If you want the trolley, use it, we should come towards a store at some point, ill find me something there, just dont expect the half elf to push the trolley just cos shes strongest, not gonna happen.

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

I think itd be cool to regularly have something like this. Maybe some of us could take it in turns to do one?

[pcbore]

The Oddestsey

Anyway, back to the story...

*Crash tackles Professor Vengeance before he can take the whiskie, and advises him to go read Carpe Jugulum or Wee Free Men*

[steven_mcg]

The Oddestsey

*picks self up grumbling*

...damned Discworld gits...

Anyways, I could really do with some beefing up, so Ill take the Spartan helmet (reshaped into a top hat with aid from the Laser Cane, of course :wink instead of the arm and anything else we dont use, just bung in the trolley and cart it to the towns nearest car boot sale

BTW, this has really inspired me to finally get a new Mentorn Conspiracy going. Might try something after my prelims - it should make up for the SHW tourny thing.

Wait until weve taken the stuff to the town to fashion the weapon from the spoke.

*hits bionic arm on* Perfect fit. Not surprising, as I had to lop my arm off at the shoulder to put it on. Crikey, cobber, shell be right though mate.

[knightrous]

The Oddestsey

Ill take:

A teaspoon made from what appears to be uranium (weight 1)


If Tom would be so nice to make some pellets with his pellet tool from my uranium spoon for me.Id also like to steal half a jar of wisky from Frank as a trade off for the octopuss poison. I have an idea for these later on if we are in trouble.

Id also like to separate from to group for a little while and meet up with them in town. I feel Ill be better to the group once Ive fed.
