Scene 5: Geneforge Series Forum
Scene 5: Geneforge Series Forum DikiyobaMagmaDragoon, Nick Ringer, and GoldenKing enter. GoldenKing wanders off to find a canister. Nick Ringer leans on an obelisk.
Nick Ringer: So, whadya you want me to do?
MagmaDragoon: Just stay there and watch out for the thing.
Nick Ringer: Gotcha.
Nick Ringer opens his fourth beer as he scans the forum. MagmaDragoon checks to make sure that Nick Ringer isn't watching him. Then he pulls out a key and unlocks a small chest. He sighs when he sees all the coins inside.
MagmaDragoon: Ah! My precious treasure is still safe.
MagmaDragoon quickly closes the chest, relocks it, and tucks the key back into his pocket. Nick Ringer tosses aside the empty bottle.
Nick Ringer: Ya know what Geneforge needs?
MagmaDragoon: No. What?
Nick Ringer: Male agents. In fact, I think I'll become the first one.
Nick Ringer points at MagmaDragoon.
Nick Ringer: Daze! You're dazed! Heehee. You can't do anything to me now!
MagmaDragoon looks bewildered.
MagmaDragoon: What do you mean?
Nick Ringer: Exactly! You can't catch me... I'm an agent! Whee!
Nick Ringer runs tipsily around the forum.
Nick Ringer: Daze again! Nothing can touch me! Haha.
MagmaDragoon: What's wrong with you?
Nick Ringer: Nothing. I'm...
Nick Ringer smashes headfirst into the obelisk, knocking himself out.
MagmaDragoon: Oh no. Now the thing could get me.
The thing: Hvct!
MagmaDragoon turns and sees the thing. He pulls out a sword.
MagmaDragoon: You aren't going to get me!
MagmaDragoon charges toward the thing.
The thing: Bvtr!
MagmaDragoon stumbles over the corpse of a noob and falls to the ground. The thing knocks him unconscious before he can rise. GoldenKing doesn't notice any of this. Instead, he carefully breaks off the top of a canister. He pours a skribbane potion into the charged essence and watches the two liquids swirl together.
GoldenKing: aura of flams adn skribbane wat a good combinaton
GoldenKing plunges his hand into the essence and cackles madly.
GoldenKing: mor powr hahaha!
Kingy and Wonko the Sane enter at the same time that MagmaDragoon sits up.
MagmaDragoon: The where's thing? Are and you here what doing?
Wonko the Sane: Looking for GoldenKing. Have you seen him? And are you all right?
MagmaDragoon: There he's over. I'm and fine.
MagmaDragoon points towards GoldenKing. Wonko the Sane and Kingy walk over to him.
GoldenKing: hay! wat r u doing hear go away!
Kingy: Could we get a bottle of skribbane?
GoldenKing: no! its my skribbane! mine!
Wonko the Sane edges towards the bag of skribbane while Kingy keeps GoldenKing distracted.
Kingy: But we only want one bottle. You can keep the rest. And we need the skribbane for a good cause.
GoldenKing: no caus is beter than mine
Wonko the Sane takes a bottle of skribbane out of the bag without alerting GoldenKing and starts to back away.
Kingy: Look, we just want one freaking bottle to help Alorael...
GoldenKing: aloreal! aloreal! how dar u help aloreal! lets see... flams... no thats not it... flems... no thats not it either...
Kingy: Do you mean flames?
GoldenKing: yes thats rite... aura of flames!
Wonko the Sane and Kingy are both hit by the flames that erupt around GoldenKing. Badly burned, Kingy collapses. Wonko the Sane was a little further from GoldenKing, so he staggers back, scorched but not too injured.
Wonko the Sane: Are you absolutely out of your mind!?
MagmaDragoon picks up his sword and jumps up.
MagmaDragoon: Hey! That you do can't!
GoldenKing: Its my skribbane! adn my canisters! mine! al mine!
Suddenly, GoldenKing stops yelling and starts coughing. Wonko the Sane grabs Kingy and drags him away from GoldenKing and towards a healing pool. Nick Ringer sits up, rubbing his head.
Nick Ringer: wats hapening
GoldenKing stops coughing abruptly. There is a strange gleam in his eyes.
GoldenKing: Wrzvtpx! Yrtgh mjqe!
Wonko the Sane: GoldenKing's been completely possessed by the thing!
GoldenKing turns and sweeps out of the forum and into the Blades of Avernum Forum. Wonko the Sane manages to pull Kingy next to the healing pool. After a few moments, Kingy is completely healed.
MagmaDragoon: Do now do what we?
Wonko the Sane: Rejoin the others. They need to know what happened to GoldenKing. Besides, I have a bottle of skribbane now. Perhaps that will be enough to return Alorael to normal.
Wonko the Sane, Kingy, MagmaDragoon, and Nick Ringer exit.
