Scene 6: Miscellaneous Forum

*i has some Spiderwebbers interested in his new title ranking plan. Several of them are looking at the new list and giving their opinions.

Kingy: Cool. I'm a Swashbuckler now.

Wise Man: I'm a Sage.

Dintiradan: I'm an Explorer. While it's better than being an ordinary citizen, it's nowhere near as good as Evil Overlord.

Other Spiderwebbers are interested in other things. Ephesos, for instance, is trying to create a Balm of Life.

Ephesos: I will return to the message boards. Furthermore, I will return to the message boards alive.

The potion that Ephesos is creating starts to fizz, bubble, and foam out of the bottle. The acidic substance covers Ephesos's hands. He quickly drops the bottle and casts a cure spell on himself.

Ephesos: Well, that wasn't it.

Jumpin' Salmon: Anyone seen Alorael recently? He went off to look for one of his missing PDNs awhile ago and hasn't come back.

Inthrall: Nope. Haven't seen him.

Jumpin' Salmon: Hmm. Now that's odd.

Thralni: Oh, almighty chicken gods! Please, please, pleeeeease spare us from this horrible fate!

Arancaytar, Tyranicus, and Slartucker are attempting to create the portal again.

Arancaytar: Okay. Let's try this once more. Ready?

Tyranicus: If you're going to sneeze, sneeze now, Slartucker.

Slartucker: It was a one time thing, I promise. It won't happen again.

As the three Spiderwebbers look at the runes, the portal begins to form. Suddenly, Slartucker vanishes in a flash of light. Tyranicus is prepared this time and leaps out of the way, so it is Arancaytar who is hit by the fireball. A few moments after the fire burns itself out, Arancaytar stands back up.

Tyranicus: What happened to Slartucker?

Arancaytar: It wasn't the portal. It was something else. But I don't know what.
